★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I eat here almost once a week. It’s a must try! I love their skewers and grilled meats. The accompanying sauces are also amazing. They also have the best Thai iced tea with the perfect milk to tea ratio. Service here is also superb, super sweet and attentive staff. It also goes without saying, but they’re very clean with stylish interiors.
September 03 · Jocelyn LoThis is such a gem in Brooklyn Heights. I would say it’s the best Thai food I had in this and nearby neighborhood. Super friendly, humble staff. Ingredient is so fresh, and their Thai tea ice cream is chef’s kiss! They definitely spent sometime thinking about the deco and theme of the place. Perfect spot for a date.
August 01 · Bill ChienAbsolutely magnificent! Shout out to the staff who are exemplary. The red snapper was perfection. Great choices of wine and they will bring samples to assist your choice. Love the decor every detail if truly enhancing. My favorite was when the chef brought our main course to the table. This restaurant is wondering so many ways. The service, ambiance, and quality of food is sublime. Will definitely be back.
June 14 · Lourdes ZephierLoved everything about this spot! The crispy pork with Chinese broccoli was perfectly done, the fish was fresh and tasty, and the noodles were so satisfying.Finished with a dessert that was the perfect sweet ending. Great flavors, cozy atmosphere, and really friendly service. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!
September 14 · Addison StenderIncredibly delicious Thai food! And I’ve spent 6 weeks in Thailand, I assure you this is very authentic!! The papaya salad tastes just like in Thailand, every dish is excellent — their curries are especially good 10/10 it’s a must try and one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve had in NY and all of US actually
