I had the seafood karee, crab fried rice, and their signature tom yum soup—everything was full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. Loved thre Fried Calamari for appetizer which was crispy and addicting. The cozy atmosphere with chandeliers and a dark oak-like backdrop makes it a great spot for a date or just to relax. Service was excellent, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

The dry noodle that I ordered somehow is not so flavorful - pork belly is cooked nicely but lack of salt. However the portion is good and it has a variety of meat. The curry noodle my friend ordered taste good!

📍 Accidentally CAME across a Thai restaurant in Brooklyn! It's really that kind of treasure store that no one knows about but you'll fall in love with as soon as you arrive! The store is not big, BUT IT HAS a great FEELING, it can sit inside and OUT, there is a small garden at the back, IT is really comfortable to sit outside when the weather is good The atmosphere is just perfect, and there is a small adjustment table!If you want to have some authentic Thai food, but don't want to be in a crowded queue and also want a comfortable environment for chatting, this place is really good
