"I came here over the weekend with as a group of 4 for a quick lunch. The restaurant itself is small and a bit claustrophobic; they didn’t have a table for 4 they simply had to combine two of the little tables for us to give you an idea of how cramped it is in there. There is also no bathroom available for customer use so keep that in mind as well. Despite all this, I recommend this place. They have a lunch special that includes an appetizer and entree everyday of the week from open to 3pm with a nice range of choices and good portion sizes. Lunch special and an iced coffee or juice came to around $20 per person after tax and tip for reference. The service was very kind and attentive. I cannot speak on the authenticity of the food but they had all the classics plus a few house specials that looked promising. I ordered the eggplant basil with pork and got buttery soft eggplants and tender meat, our only complaint as a group was that the food marked as spicy (eggplant basil and green curry) could have been a little bit spicier."

"A cozy small joint for Thai street food! Seating is limited and no bathroom though."

"I have been a customer of this restaurant for years. During lunch, I ordered the same dish on average 3-4 times a week, so I clearly loved the food. However, I am writing this review after having an unpleasant exchange with one of the servers yesterday [November 6, 2023]. Over the years, my problems typically included having my order made incorrectly, being given cold veg. spring rolls (but hot basil fried rice), kitchen being out of commisison and poor communication. On November 4, 2023, when I ordered my food, my veg. spring rolls were cold, as if they had just been taken out of the refrigerator. I reported this to the restaurant and they said they would take care of me next time I ordered. When I called my order in on November 6, 2023, I explained my previous problem to the woman. She apologized, and then I gave my order. [They all know it]. She never explained that the price had changed for the lunch special so when I went to pay and she said it was now $14 and some change instead of $11.87, I questioned the price change. In response, she pointed to a flyer on the wall. I was like, I come here so often that you could easily communicate that to me. I don't read the signs around their tiny restaurant and I explained that to her. She then proceeded to say I "always" have a problem as if I am the chef or server fixing my food incorrectly. She also tried to suggest that the reason [only] the spring rolls were cold was because I came so late to pick up my food which wasn’t true. I am a 5 minute bike ride away and my rice was always hot. I had already paid her the money and then she asked if I still wanted the food or not. I asked her to give me my change and then I left with the food. When I went to eat, I noticed that they are now charging more for less. The lunch special no longer includes the salad, the pitiful new spring rolls are smaller than they use to be and you are possibly getting less rice as well. The disrespect shown by these people towards a loyal, paying customer and 15 year resident of Williamsburg will never be forgotten."

"Honestly the food and service here are both great, but the atmosphere is just… the restaurant is hot, and the tables are so small that you’re pressed against the wall. It’s poorly lit as well. The food however, is very good. The roti with curry was very greasy, but it made up for it with its texture and the flavor of the curry. The wonton soup was very good as well, and the banana sticky rice was the perfect mix of sticky and just a little sweet."
