I do have to agree that this place is a gem! The thai foods served here were one of the best I have eaten for awhile in NYC. It tasted authentic & so damn delicious! The decor is beautiful, very earthy tone (tons of green & rattan brown decor). We came as a family of 7 & ordered so much different foods to try: 1) siam platter, 2) seafood tom yum soup, 3) green curry mussel, 4) tomahawk short ribs, 5) pineapple fried rice, 6) crab fried rice, 7) shrimp pad thai.
Siam platter (appetizer) had a large variety of goodies (money bag dumplings, chive cakes, chicken satay) - super delicious & when dipped w/ the sauces it was even more amazing!
Seafood tom yum soup (has galangal, mushrooms, kaffir lime, milk and lemongrass & some seafood items like shrimp & mussels/clams) - This is the best seafood tom yum soup I have had in NYC for awhile. It was an explosion of different flavors in my mouth (limey, savory, sweet, and spicy, etc). Super delicious & refreshing! I highly highly recommend this & we love it so much we got a 2nd order of this! I wish I lived close by so I could reorder this whenever I want.
Green Curry Mussel (mussels marinated w/ coconut milk, basil and red bell pepper) - delicious green curry base & the mussels were very fresh and delicious.
Tomahawk short rib (12 hour braised bone-in short rib, potato, crispy shallots) - WOW! This one was also super delicious! The short ribs were so tender & well marinated + the roti pieces that came w/ it complemented the meat w/ the sauce so well! I would reorder this item as well.
Pineapple fried rice (fried rice w/ pineapple, shrimp, cashews, onions, curry seasoning) - delicious but the crab fried rice beat this one!
Crab Fried Rice (fried rice w/ crab meat, eggs, onion, and scallions) - WOW!! This simple dish doesn't look as special as that pineapple fried rice, but flavor wise it was to die for! The crabs they used were so delicious, fresh and meaty. I highly highly recommend this item! I would reorder this in a heart beat! SOO DAMN DELICIOUS!
Shrimp pad thai (rice noodle, eggs, scallion, tofu, bean sprouts, shrimp) - This item was also super delicious! It was also one of the best pad thai I have eaten in NYC in awhile. I can't explain it, but one bite of this pad thai will make your taste buds extremely happy! Highly highly recommended! I also would reorder this in a heartbeat!
Tons of indoor tables & chairs. Comfortable seating. Beautiful decor.
The staff they hired were young and not very experienced. We sat down for awhile & no one came to check up on us. We had to ask them many times for water in cup, napkins, etc. When the food came out, they did not check up on us to offer us small bowls so we could all share (family style). I think the staff just needs to have more experience in understanding what the customers needs. But overall, I would come back to eat here because the food was superb! read more
