Amazing food and excellent service. We had the crab curry and the baked prawns and devoured both; sooo yummy. Papaya salad is nice and spicy; be careful, but was great for our palate. Very eager to return here ☺️

Follow Mamdani favorite dish to Zaab Zaab. We really enjoyed duck laab and sticky rice. Also other dishes like crying tiger and Rice noodles Mee Korat ! Love the Thai music they played. Shout out to the jeaw margarita! Generally it’s a very good experience

Amazing food with excellent service and atmosphere. Restaurant itself is tiny so definitely book in advance. Pad Thai puts others to shame and larb was delicious. Many of the dishes are very spicy so if you don’t want that, be sure to say. While we were there Zohran Mamdani also walked in to eat, so if that’s not a good enough endorsement, I don’t know what is!
Recommendation; pad Thai, larb, sticky rice

The food was excellent. The service was extremely slow but we came in on Christmas so Im grateful it was open.

Overall the food was excellent and the service was okay. However I didn’t appreciate having an additional food donation tax put on my bill. This should be an opt in and never an opt out option. Additionally the tip calculated included this food donation tax which is not right.

Food was hit or miss. Appetizers served as same time as one entree leaving one guest without entree for a while.

Service has to be better Service has to be better They need to improve.
Everything was alright. Expected better. And the door would just slam. And it bothered our date. Especially for the price we are paying.

I saw the mixed reviews but decided to give this place a try anyway. We came for lunch, and the restaurant was almost empty—only what seemed to be the manager was around.
We ordered the steamed fish and the pork rib soup. The moment I took my first bite of the fish, I could tell it was clearly not fresh. The soup was also heavily seasoned, almost to the point of being unpleasant. My friend and I both know Thai cuisine very well, so this isn’t a case of unfamiliar flavors—it just wasn’t good. Even the rice had a strange, stale, almost “mop water” taste.
After just a few bites, we decided to ask for the check. The manager asked if everything was okay, and we honestly said no—the fish didn’t taste fresh, and the rice smelled off. We weren’t trying to get anything comped, just answering his question.
He took the fish away, saying he would taste it himself to decide whether we should be refunded. A few minutes later, he came back and said the fish tastes fine but that he’d refund the rice instead (which, ironically, he never even tasted). He took about $3 off the bill.
The dismissive attitude really bothered us. The whole interaction felt like he was just brushing us off, as if to get it over with. Bad food can be forgiven, but bad attitude can’t. Definitely not coming back.

Really had high hopes for this place wanting to go for months. I rarely write bad reviews since I think it’s challenging for restaurants to survive, however, I’m feeling like I just threw away $100. The pork dishes are definitely a no go with being all fat and no flavor. Their menu is quite large and you need to know what you want because the waiter will not be helpful in suggesting a dish based on what you’re looking for. Service never came by once to refill water and was difficult to pay at the end since we were never looked at.

The crab fried rice here was so insanely good I literally said “wow” multiple times.

This is a review for the other location of this restaurant at the pier in Chelsea. The worst service + stingy portion + not tasty + overpriced. Better management urgently needed.
