Such amazing food, atmosphere, and staff! Had a delicious meal with lots of diverse dishes. The curry puffs, meat dumplings, Pad See Ew, Tom Yum Koong, and Thai Iced Teas. Our server, Pear, was the best ever!! She really made our experience 10 times better. She gave us recommendations, checked in constantly, and was very kind and helpful. Would definitely come here again.

This place gets very busy so I recommend reservations. I’ve been very fortunate to have been to some great Thai restaurants so I’m a little spoiled, but this place was quite good, but I wouldn’t call it the best. The service and food were very prompt and the place is very thoughtfully decorated. We really loved the potstickers, my pad Thai was tasty, although my shrimp was a little overcooked, and my wife’s meal was quite spicy, even at a level one.We would definitely go back for dinner here again, which ultimately is the highest praise you can pay a restaurant!

Great place!!!! We walked in without a reservation and the staff were able to accommodate us. I was so glad because the atmosphere it’s really nice. The food is delicious and the prices match the quality. Your wallet won’t be broke and you’ll feel really satisfied. 😍😍😍

A big shoutout to the owner and the entire team behind this incredibly successful restaurant. From the vibrant atmosphere to the thoughtfully crafted food and drinks — we absolutely loved it.We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender, who not only shared insights about the place but also guided us to some of the best dishes on the menu.What really stood out to me was the flavor profile: a perfectly balanced mix of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty — something many Thai restaurants tend to overdo. Here, it's done just right.We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we're in NYC.

Stopped by here before heading to the bar with friends and it was such a good choice! I got the steamed dumplings and the mango salad with soft shell crab, both were delicious. Walked in and sat outside, cozy and relaxing vibe. Service was on point too, my water glass was never empty. Big thanks to Pup for taking such good care of me!
