They offer spring roll, chive pancake, veggies dumpling, and thai dumpling as apps. For entree protein, they offer vegetable/tofu ($14), chicken/pork ($15), crispy pork belly, beef/shrimp/squid ($16), and crispy duck/mixed seafood ($17). The portion is pretty good for lunch. The pad thai is a bit on the saucy end, but the fried rice is well flavored. Thai iced tea and soft drinks are all mostly $6 (soda can $2.50). Despite the sauciness (preference), I would come here again since I would like to try their squid or crispy duck versions next time!

NYC's Most Beautiful Thai Food!…read more Back at one of my favorite Thai spots, where every dish is as stunning as it is delicious. From the beautiful presentation to the bold, authentic Thai flavors, every plate was thoughtfully crafted and packed with flavor. It's one of those meals that makes you pause before taking the first bite--and every dish delivered. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG, Tiktok and RedNote for more great finds.

This was a restaurant I had saved, and since it was participating in Restaurant Week, my friend and…read moreI decided to try it out. The Restaurant Week menu wasn't particularly exciting, so we both ordered from the regular menu. I had the steamed sea bass with white rice, while my friend had the duck with white rice. Both were good. We also tried the appetizer platter. I really enjoyed the chive rice cakes, the crispy texture added another layer. The crab rolls were fine, but the Cho Muang's texture was a bit off to me. The drinks were also really good. I tried the lychee floral spritz and loved it! Unfortunately, the service is what kept this from being a five-star experience. My food came out first, but my friend's didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes later. We also saw our server when she took our order and never saw her again. We wanted another drink but didn't have anyone to ask, so we had to rely on the hostess. I enjoyed the food and drinks, but good customer service is just as important to me. I wouldn't say I wouldn't return because I'd be willing to give it another shot, but I'd hope the service would be better next time.

We asked about happy hour since Instagram said they had it, but turns out it's not a thing anymore. They owned the miscommunication and took care of us, offering $8 wine, discounts on a couple appetizers, and even a complimentary extra glass of wine to make it up. We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point. Standout by far was the uni and foie gras. A little pricey for 4 pieces but very delicious. Big shoutout to the 2 staff on site, very friendly, warm and responsive throughout. I would recommend Tavern 157 if you're in the area looking for something casual with good drinks and food and not in the mood for Korean food. Just double-check happy hour before you go, as they mentioned a new one may be coming. Overall, a really enjoyable first visit.

The food was not bad, but would not say it lives up to the prices. We got a squid ink pasta which…read moreis not pictured, but it contained sea urchin that did not taste fresh at all. But, the oysters tasted pretty fresh with little to no sea water taste. The interior of this restaurant is unique and interesting with nice ambiance. The service was good at first until we asked for the bill and a 20% gratuity fee was applied which is for a party of 6 or more (as stated in the menu), but we only had 5 people. When we asked the waitress about this, she said that the statement in the menu isn't updated, and that they charge this fee on weekends because it's busier (not stated in the menu). Mind you the restaurant was completely empty when we walked in at 8pm. However, the waitress did ended up refunding us the difference for the tip.

We almost always order the fried flounder -- it's something we usually don't make at home, and they do it well. This time we also tried their combination plate with double legs and one additional meat over rice. We picked the roasted pork belly. What I liked about the roasted pork belly was that it had good portions of meat and fat, not just the fatty scraps that some restaurants serve. The portion was huge, delicious, and only $14.99. Service is always pretty friendly even when they are busy. This was also our first time trying the preserved egg and lean pork congee. It was only okay for me because the pork didn't taste very fresh. It's a small restaurant and the seating is just okay, but we'll still come back every now and then to grab their lunch special.

The restaurant was a bit empty but filled up toward the end of our meal. We ordered green beans, congee with century egg, a rice dish, and a pad Thai--esque noodle dish.
