"So excited to have this gem in the neighborhood! We ordered the Panang Curry and Pad Thai, both were fantastic. So many Thai restaurants in NYC fall flat on flavor but this place definitely BRINGS IT. Portions were large enough that we enjoyed leftovers the next day. And the chef uses real chicken, not the weird rubber band textured chicken I find a lot of restaurants serve. Plus the owner is just the kindest!! Highly recommend."

"I had the chicken noodle soup and opted to make it spicy. It was truly delicious and exactly what I needed on a cold winter day. You can tell that all of the ingredients are fresh and that the chef makes each dish with so much care. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the chicken was so moist and tender. The portions are also big so I had enough for a snack the next day."

"Incredible new hidden gem of a place. Kitchen and the space are incredibly clean and zen - a great get away from the street outside. But the food is truly special. I had Pad Thai with tofu expecting the tofu to be fried… instead I got beautiful fresh tofu slices that were soft and flavorful, as though homemade, over a noodle bowl of perfectly seasoned not-too-sweet Pad Thai. For dessert, the chef has a rotating dessert of the day, today he had steamed coconut milk rice with ripe banana topping. One of the best such desserts I’ve had in NYC. Also must try is the Thai ice tea which can be made lactose free with lemon or hot, but if made hot can be a little on the sweeter side. Overall, the place is a must try!"

"DO TAKEOUTs Authentic food but horrible atmosphere The owner is nice, food extremely authentic yet there is a smell on store from the incense owner uses. The store reminds me those roadside stores in Thailand/Vietnam,owner also only just came to US"
