We had crying tiger, duck green curry, steamed fish and crab omelette. Everything was really good and authentic. My husband and I were in Thailand last year and this place tasted just like what we had in Thailand. Def recommend!“

All flavorful“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“I've eaten at many different Thai restaurants and this was quite unique and different. The dishes were extremely delicious and flavorful and it was enjoyable to try 6 different things to explore the flavors and textures. Would highly recommend this for foodies!“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“I always had a delicious lunch special dining experience at this Thai restaurant! Not only their lunch special is affordable, the portion was generous and their service was prompt. The chicken green curry was rich and aromatic, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The pad Thai had a wonderful mix of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors, while the beef with basil sauce was incredibly fragrant and satisfying. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated with a charming, flowery decor that created a warm atmosphere.“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“Visited this Thai restaurant on a weekday. Prices are reasonable for the area, and they offer a good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The staff were friendly, and the ambience was simple yet pleasant. Overall, a nice spot for a casual meal.“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“We absolutely love this place. The food is very authentic. It’s a small location, but they do a great job of getting you your order relatively quickly. Everything is very delicious and some people were even waiting outside because of how good the food is. There were also a lot of delivery orders we could see your people coming for takeout. I highly recommend you trying this place. It can get very busy around dinner time so come before then or a little bit after like around 7:30 p.m..“

“I love the food, so far every dish I have tried has been excellent, seems like authentic Thai food as they say if many people from that country eats there it is a compliment to its authenticity.
The service from the workers especially Tang she helps me every time and is so courteous, friendly and helpful.
I am disabled and Tang is always attentive and helpful with entering exiting as well as when I order take she brings it out to my car to save me having to get out, all of this is so amazing and rare in a very busy city like New York.
Thank you for always being you. <3“

“had the best dinner ever, so I will recommend that“

“Great food. Great service. Reasonable prices too..“

“Delicious Thai food. Classic dishes. Vegan. Lovely Ms May Kaidee cooks your food!! She is a cookbook author, chef, dancer, noted restaurateur in Thailand. Interior is decorated with Thai symbols. Great food. I had noodles and vegetables with an amazing sauce. Mango desert with coconut sauce and yummy rice, fantastic!!! Joe might be your waiter and is kind and professional. Such a wonderful place!!!“

“Incredible meal. Fish cakes Larb. But the beat was Drunken Noodles with duck.“

“Great cocktails , dark , adult vibe , friendly staff , tasty food large portions !“

“Really cozy and cute place on the second floor. I had the green curry with crab, which I enjoyed!

Just know that when you get the receipt, they already automatically calculate in 18% tip to your total bill. I almost tipped them twice, so beware of this. I felt that was a bit shady, and if I hadn’t read the bill closely, I would have easily paid more than necessary.“

“The food here is always worth it — I've never ordered something I didn't like and the portions are generous! I ordered the eggplant basil tofu, which had a bit of spice and lots of flavor. My friend ordered pad Thai and two Moscow mules — the best she's had in the area! The decor and ambiance is always impressive, although table seating on the first floor can feel tight. We got seated upstairs (my second time), and the only issue is that after you get your meal, service is slow — it almost feels like they forget about you.“

“The Tom Kha soup was delicious and subtle, and the beef Pad See Eew was lovely - not too heavy. Our server Pie was very attentive, friendly and efficient. Nice ambiance, also; nice lighting and good level on the music. Thank you - we’ll be back!“

“Wonderful food prepared by loving people - making it even better for you!“

Cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there’s real passion behind everything here. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Nice chill atmosphere serving Khao Mun Gai, steamed or fried. Classic style with soup on the side. Super nice staff who know the cuisine. Fast service.“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy.
Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.“

“One of the best , very authentic Thai place.
This is a tiny hole in the wall, street food kind of place.
I had their lemongrass chicken..it was delicious, you could taste the lemongrass on the chicken too .

We also has chicken satay, which was also quite delicious. This will probably become my regular Thai food eatery when I feel like eating Thai“

“We always order take out from here but decided to dine in and so happy we did! We sat in the back patio which is covered and had live music. Very nice ambiance.

Food was very delicious as always. A little spicy but the right amount even for those who like mild.

Mind ohm fah was our wonderful server. Very attentive and gave good recommendations.

Can’t wait to come back!“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“BKK is a hidden gem. The food is unique and outstanding - a good mix of Thai classics and dishes with their a unique spin. They accommodated my group of 7 in a semi private room in the back. The entire staff was lovely, especially the very helpful host. My group had a great time.“

“สัก10อย่าง!!แซ่บ10อย่าง!! 👍🔥✅“

“I’ve been to many Thai restaurants around the world 🌍 , in New York 🗽and also in Bangkok 🇹🇭 and the KHAO MAN GAI , the classic poached chicken is a very much a THAI dish as Singaporean 🇸🇬 dish as it comes from the East. There are many street food places in Bangkok 🇹🇭that specialize in KHAO MAN GAI and its considered a traditional Thai 🇹🇭 food. To find an excellent poached chicken in Bangkok 🇹🇭it’s a mission so to find one , in the east village is a beautiful and tasty surprise. I had the KHAO MAN GAI - poached chicken 🍗 and the Gai Yang- grilled chicken 🍗. The chicken was tender and juicy , was cooked perfectly and it’s the same for the grilled and the poached, the sauce was spicy 🌶️ and reminded me the streets of Bangkok 🇹🇭the rice and the soup as well were rich, perfect balanced and delicious. The restaurant stands tall on delivering the promise of her name. Authentic Thai 🇹🇭 food. The place is small and warm , simple , the staff is welcoming and friendly, and the reasonable price ( 18$ for the set ) makes it A MUST in New York today. Come as you are and fast 🇹🇭🇹🇭“
