For amazing Thai food in FiDi, this is the spot! Everything was so flavorful and just enough spice. The roti was so flakey and went well with the chicken curry. The pad Thai and salads were great with curry chicken noodles and green curry were spot on! So much more on the menu to try!
The staff were friendly and bathrooms were clean very spacious. Space is big to host larger groups. Definitely will go back, if I am in the area!
Great food loved the cocktails š¹
Visited on May 17th. Had the chicken pad thai with a side of dumplings. Yum!
We ordered three dishes to go from a hotel nearby. They donāt offer delivery so we used Uber eats. Delivery was on time and food was still warm, except no napkins and no utensils!!!
We were disappointed ā¹ļø. The taste was good but not very good.
I love this place. Iāve come for lunch, brunch, and dinner, the food is consistently good. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The staff is very attentive. I recommend their lunch specials # 2 & #3. All the brunch items are great. For dinner theyāre special.
Lil Chef Mama catered lunch for my company the other day and it was a 10/10 experience. They were SO easy to work with. The food was also amazing, everyone loved it so much and Mama herself was there which was truly the best!!
Chose this place for lunch based on top ratings. Thai cuisine.
They brought out three small bowls with different chicken and vegetable combinations, plus one with rice.
Each had a unique flavor. Everything was fresh. I especially liked the one in batter with sweet and sour sauceāfound the perfect balance of flavor for the first time.
I want to come back and try more. Thank you.
Truly a delightful restaurant! Very underrated. Food was AMAZING, service was OUTSTANDING, atmosphere was COZY. 100% recommend the food! You will not be disappointed. Both our appetizers and entrees were fabulous. The chicken skewered and pork dumplings apps were fabulous!

First time here and the food was very good. I had the Pad Thai with Yellow Curry. It was def one of the better Pad Thai's I have had. The staff was nice and friendly. I will def be back. The holes in the wall always serve the best food!
Been to this place many times since my original review. The food is always amazing!

Pad thai tasted very good but portions were pretty small for the price. Fried rice and chicken satay tasted okay but again very pricey for the portions provided. Shrimps were also small.

We went for dinner.
Opted for Vegan, the dishes were tasty.
Only mixed up......they first served curry with mushrooms, which we had opted out,as one of us is allergic to it.
They took back the dish ,fished out the mushrooms and gave back the same plate ,again with two pieces left in it......NOT DONE.
Fried rice with Egg ,Vegan ????
Again sent back.
There wasn't much rush when we went, being a week day.
I guess it's all because of staff deficiency.....š¤

This is very average maybe even sub average Chinatown fare. Eating here makes you appreciate an exceptional place like Fish Cheeks more.
Appetizers that I had were dry and lackluster. Entree plate was really greasy. Service was uneventful. Employee shud not smoke at the door because the smoke just come rushing in since door is opened. But these characteristics are typical of Chinatown even though youāre in FiDi.
Ambiance looks tired and old. They shud really tidy up place or renovate since it has high ceiling and potential to look amazing. Even though locale is off beaten track, itās a great place for nightclub nightlife.
