There’s a high bar for Thai food in NYC and this unfortunately was simply not remarkable. The tom yum soup was packed with flavor and plenty of shrimp, the pad thai was fine but on the smaller side serving size wise, and the grilled beef w/ sticky rice kabobs felt a little disjointed as a dish. It is a solid spot if you are looking for a quick bite but would not go out of my way to snag a reservation to come back.

Interesting Thai experience, unlike most of the Thai food I've had in my life. But actually spicy, so we take a W where we can get it. Portions are somewhat small, and oddly quite cold inside the restaurant itself. I still had a good time though, just wish they gave us more food. I was told by my boss that the pork neck and salted egg yolk salad were must-tries, but sadly I didn't see either of them on the menu. Oh well, another time then.

Somtum was great and they have many options which is rare in the US. Tamarind chicken wings were juicy and crispy. I lived in Thailand so I can certify that this place 100% authentic. Will come back to try other dishes for sure.
