I ordered the crispy pork Pad Thai with a happy hour beer, and wow...SO good. The noodles were super flavorful, and the crispy pork belly was such a fun twist that you don't usually see on Thai menus. Honestly, obsessed. The service was quick and attentive even on a busy Friday night, which I always appreciate. The ambiance really sealed the deal, there was a DJ playing upbeat music, and it made the whole place feel lively, fun, and perfect for a Friday dinner out with friends. If you're in Williamsburg and craving Thai food, this spot is a must. Delicious food, great energy, and an overall amazing experience. 10/10 would absolutely recommend

The food was delicious. My favorites would have to be the chilled sesame noodles and the Wagyu burger! The black sesame latte was also rich in flavor. The lavender in the matcha latte was also strong as well - perfect for those who enjoy drinking lavender flavored beverages.

This sounded like a perfect savory brunch for someone who likes to try multiple things. Every item had been carefully thought through and very well executed. The potatoes were crispy on the edges and fluffy in the middle. The tofu scramble was soft and almost silky. The mushroom balls were delicious. They had a crispy exterior and a slightly chewy but not tough interior. I would order those on their own as an appetizer. The star of the plate for me was the bread. The owner who spoke to us told us he makes it himself and it shows how much care he put into baking it. The structure of the crumb was airy with a crunchy crust. I loved the addition of fennel and raisins for sweetness and a touch of warmth. The only small tweak that I would make to this is to add something fresh like a side salad or sautéed greens, as i think the bitterness would round out the flavors. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! I am hoping to see their plant based selection expand

He was very friendly and helped us with the menu, and the food and cocktails came out very quickly. Loved the Thai-Japanese vibe! Know that it is on the second floor so you do have to walk upstairs if that's a concern for anyone in your party. But, at the top when you walk in, you've walked into a room that feels intimate and comfortable inside an Asian Luxe lounge with ultra-hip vibes.

We had the salt and pepper tofu- perfect crisp and soft insides with amazing flavor. I asked what sort of salt they used and was told regular salt - no my table salt at home does not have this flavor, fine keep your secrets! Sesame "Beef" - great savory flavor and not your sugary flavor from your local takeout! Good texture and chew as well. Garlic and Olive Oil Kale - this came out piping hot and all steamy but was definitely double-salted. We could not eat much of this but aside from the salt, it was flavored well. Great surprise ending was our bill was really low and I even asked if they charged us correctly (whats wrong with me you may ask)? We were told lunch items were half price on weekdays - woo! 5 star worthy if not for the kale!

It has come to be a blessing in disguise for this humble spot because this brings in traffic and potential customers wanting to do right by the restaurant at least much better than that shady reviewer did. Backstory aside, seeing this place for the first time, it looks like a small restaurant from the outside but it's a very long spot complete with a backyard for outdoor dining. Service is very attentive and courteous, they do their best to make your stay as pleasant as possible and things like this are noted and appreciated because a good vibe can really make the experience when eating at any establishment. For lunch I ordered the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken w/ Rice and the Porkchop Banh Mi. The Lemongrass Chicken with rice was made very well and tasted delightful. The Banh Mi sandwich also made for a solid appetizer. You definitely get a good money's worth for your meal because it definitely filled me up so one of the entrees is good enough if you're eating solo. It was a pleasant experience down to the delicious food and the above & beyond service of the waiters to make sure your visit is as pleasant as possible.

Unless I'm in the area again, it's nothing great nor bad; but gets the job done.
