Me and my wife love this place. It's got an old Orient Express train car theme throughout the restaurant. Be warned ⚠️ lol, the spicy selections on the menu are true to the meaning of spicy. Definitely a go-to for those who like real spice in your life.

I had high hopes for this restaurant after reading raving reviews about it. The food may not be mind blowing but it was definitely good. The service overall was okay but could use some improvement. Our server gave the impression that he couldn’t wait for us to make up our minds on ordering, or to finish our dishes and leave. On a side note, it is a lively and trendy spot, so it is extremely loud in their indoor dining hall. We could barely hear our own conversation throughout the meal, the noise level was so high that I felt so exhausted afterwards.

I loved this place. I love obscenely (flavorful) spicy stuff and this place took me back to when I lived in Thailand. We had the Khao Soi and the laab. It was on point.
All the cocktails were had were phenomenal as well.
Can't wait to go back.

Had dinner here and the food was SO GOOD (so much flavor!), I had to go back the next day for lunch. I’ve never been to Thailand so I can’t compare it, but a Thai friend mentioned that the flavors are very authentic and similar to what you get in Thailand. Favorite dishes here are definitely the fried coconut, chive pancake, and the lotus wrapped rice (Khao Hor Bai Bua) - and it’s what I keep coming back for. Also tried the Hor Mok but I didn’t think it was anything special (tasted like a solid chunk of curry), but it was highly raved by other reviewers. The baby squid in squid ink sauce on their summer menu was packed with flavor. Fried branzino was good, but quite messy to eat. The pork jowl was also too fatty for me, but that could just be a personal preference. The larb khao pod (seasoned corn) and the sausage on their summer menu is also worth trying. Pad Thai with the grilled chicken was better than most I’ve had. Short rib curry and khao soi basically has the same curry base - the khao soi was a lot spicier than what I am used to at other places, but if you have a high spice tolerance, you’ll be fine. The short rib was quite stiff the day we ordered it, but my friend who tried it before said it was very tender when she got it. Must try the taro custard with coconut ice cream dessert - the coconut ice cream with the warm custard is amazing. Atmosphere wise, 9PM on a Wednesday night was crowded and quite loud, making it hard to talk and hear each other. It was a lot better coming here for a weekday/weekend lunch. Also got the fried coconut and fried rice as takeout, it was still good after reheating/ toasting it!

After the movie at BAM, we ended up at this Thai restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend it, despite the pleasant atmosphere and nice decor. The dishes were well-presented, but the taste was lacking. I found the squid especially disappointing; it had no flavor and felt rubbery, almost like eating a piece of tasteless rubber. The sauce was nicely seasoned, but you couldn’t tell if you were eating squid ? or just a piece of gummy bread.

This is probably the best restaurant i’ve been to in NYC. I spent 2 months in Thailand last year and the food here brought me right back to Thailand. Incredibly authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The waitress was also so kind and helpful. We had 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 1 desert and everything was absolutely delicious. Their halloween pumpkin desert special was not something I’d usually order but it was also a knockout and I ended up ordering an extra to bring home. Will definitely be back for more :)

Delicious food with friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. Ordered all the recommended dishes from the staff and it did not disappoint. Prices were reasonable and probably the best thai food I've had in a long time. Can't wait to come back.

Haven’t had such great Thai food for a while. We loved everything we ordered: the pork jowls and the squid stir fry really stand out.
The best Thai food in the city. We had the fried branzino and crab fried rice and it was unbelievable. The atmosphere and the train decor completes the wonderful experience.

Delicious!! Took my parents here for dinner and it was perfect. Every dish was made well, tasted fresh and had beautiful complexity and balance. The concept of the train car was so unique and fun! Can’t wait to go back and try the cocktails!
