From a guy that's from NYC this place is authentic. They have a lot of duck dishes and are not cheap on the meat. Spice level is spot on and the taste is just right. You will not be disappointed.

Been going to Thai Luang for 21 years & everytime I am in the area I make sure to order the crispy basil duck. I order 2 portions to make sure I can enjoy this delicious dish the next day. I have traveled far & wide to see if I can come close to this flavor & nothing comes close…Thai Luang for the WIN!
