i come here often after church in the neighborhood, solo or with friends and family. the flavors are excellent and the price very reasonable with a wide range of options. i always recommend this spot to anyone i know in the neighborhood and several friends have also only adored this place. a standout spot in the UES in my book! i also find myself shazam/looking up songs whenever i’m there.

i only wish the best for this nimble team! nunie is an excellent host....

have been ordering here for years, typically love their massaman curry, this time it was watery, over seasoned with cinammon, the protein tasted boiled and the main vegetable was onions. very disappointing as I've ordered this dish here before and loved it. pad thai was good.
August 2025
I was recommended the beef noodle soup and that was very tasty, as well as my friend's pad kra pow. I would say that the drunken noodle did lack a bit of flavor, though. The service was very helpful and attentive, and I loved the vinyl theme they had going on. It felt like a Thai record store on the inside!
