Soothr had great service and a lovely ambience. As most NYC restaurants, space is hard to come by here (and the bathroom line juts out into the dining area which isn't too fun), but at least the noise level is tolerable and I was able to enjoy good conversation with friends. We ordered the 2 noodle dishes - the khao soi and the seafood noodles, and two others: duck green curry and sauteed eggplant. I was slightly disappointed by the noodle dishes. Soothr touts their specialty noodle dishes. However the seafood noodle dish had noodles very similar in consistency and quality to instant ramen. Khao soi is more unique in that the noodle is crispy (and once submerged in the curry gets softer), but seems to use the same noodle. The green curry flavor was good. The duck meat was soft and almost too chewy for my taste, so that was not my favorite dish. The eggplant was great (and was spicier than I expected), but I could order a dish like that in early any other Asian restaurant. (I admit it's on me for ordering it, but to be fair I love eggplant!) The flavors are great, but given all the hype I've heard about this Michelin Guide restaurant, I was slightly disappointed how the dishes didn't wow me. Still a great place to check out though. 4 stars! read more

Soothr - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Was looking for a good dinner spot in NYC and was excited to get a reservation here for dinner. The reviews were all phenomenal so that definitely hyped us up for the meal. The restaurant itself has a nice cozy ambiance though at times it can be a little loud. The staff were phenomenal and helpful with recommendations. For drinks we got the Deep in Aquamarine and Rose Quartz which were both good. We got some appetizers to try - Had Yai Chicken and Duck Spring Rolls which were both good. For the main dish, we got the Khao Soi Neur Toon and Khao Soi Sai-Ua which were both very flavorful. Dessert was Mango Sticky Rice which was good as well. Overall food was very good. Service was very welcoming. Ambiance is quite pleasant but slightly loud at times. Pricey but in par with NYC prices. read more

Excellent authentic Thai food with generous, high quality ingredients like lump crab, extra jumbo shrimp, and seared duck breast. Most of the menu is spicy and there aren't a ton of green vegetables, but there are a handful of good options for those who crave greens, or milder food. read more

Make sure to make a reservation on Resy for this place. It's super popular so it definitely gets really crowded around dinner time. We ordered the below dishes and they were really good. Definitely really spicy as well so something to keep in mind. The ambiance is pretty chill and it's also romantic enough for dates. The service was great, our waiter was really attentive and patient. I recommend coming here to try it but definitely make sure to make a reservation ahead of time. read more

so... I came here when they first opened many years ago and thought it was mediocre but a friend of mine said it was really good when she went recently so decided to give it a second chance and they didn't disappoint this time! Soothr has decent thai food in the area and more known for their shareable family style type dishes so it's not surprising if many are unique. They also have very creative, very cute, very delicious drinks here too! Appetizers here were more standard. I would skip over the appetizers next time and just order drinks and mains next time. Appetizers/ small bites: (this section was not that impressive) - duck rolls 3.5/5 - moo dang puff 4/5 - had yai chicken 3/5 Drinks: - deep in aquamarine 5/5: this is the perf refreshing and lightly tart drink - diamond 4/5: stronger alcohol taste than the rest but still relatively good! - rose quartz 4/5: you don't taste any alcohol in this and it's literally like lychee juice. this drink is superb pretty with the rose in ice - all that jade 4/5: if you like matcha then you'd probably enjoy this drink - delong star ruby 3/5: this was very flat... kind of tasted like herbal tea Mains: (NOTE - all portion sizes are quite small) - Crab fried rice 4/5: decent crab fried rice and they give you a good portion of the crab but size of it is not really meant for sharing it seems. but we did love the sauce that it comes with! - Penang duck lychee curry 4.5/5: this was very delicious - the curry was yummy, duck was very tender and not too fatty - spicy braised beef pad kraprow 4/5: beef was very tender but it wasn't too impressive to me - Si krong pad ped 4.5/5: loved the ribs here - also fell right off the bone - Pad see ew 4/5: this I def had better so it was more standard to me here - Rad na jay 4/5: radna / ladna is something I always love to try when I see at a thai restaurant since it's usually not available but they make a little different here instead of the flat noodles they use crispy egg noodle which I thought was very interesting. It certainly tastes better than it looks? once again very SMALL portion size - don't want to sound like a broken record but this can be applied to every dish This is a great spot to hang with friends with their lovely drink menu! read more

Service was very good and fast. All the staff is very friendly. All the food I had was so good. Perfect atmosphere in terms of liveliness and noise. I specifically liked the chicken khao soi. I recommend ordering my noodles on the side as it's a lot of curry. Mango sundae was standard mango sticky rice with ice cream, but still good. Crab noodles were also good but nothing super special. Will definitely go back to try some other dishes. read more

Have ordered food from here a few times and also came in once for dinner, and once for lunch. Have enjoyed my experience in each form factor. Can't really go wrong with anything here, though I had more food than drink. Food (5/5) - I really enjoyed the noodles here, my gripe with rice noodles is often that they've been overcooked (or undercooked, but that's less likely), or too starchy. They've always done a good blend of sauce to noodle radio, with just enough bite. Would highly recommend. Ambiance (4/5) - Love the cozy atmosphere, though the tables can be a little close / loud. Nothing unmanageable. Service (5/5) - Prompt, polite, and not too pushy with recommendations. Do come with your entire party to be seated on time. Price (4/5) - A little on the pricey side but on par with the rest of New York, and great for the quality. read more

Ambiance was super cute. I expected bolder flavors and better seasoned food after reading the reviews. I wanted to love this restaurant but it just didn't live up to the hype. The crab/pork egg noodles were bland as was the fried whole branzino. There was barely enough tamarind sauce on the fish and it tasted like a plain piece of fried fish. The dish also lacked the exciting combination of mango, fish sauce, and tamarind that I've come to expect. The ambiance was great and the service itself was uneventful. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner with friends. Pros: - delicious food at decent prices - lots of good options for everyone Cons: - table to be returned in 90 mins, clock starts as soon as you sit down - got in early and asked to sit at bar but this is not an option so ended having drinks at sidewalk whilst we waited for the remainder of our party Every thing tasted good. I definitely liked the duck green curry. The sauce is really nice and surprisingly spicy which was not mentioned on the menu. Restaurant was busy even though it was a Wednesday night so make sure you book ahead. Will come back here again - I have the Khao Soi chicken on my to try list. read more

Their most famous dish is the Kong karee, which got them the Michelin recommendation. That dish did not disappoint and was my fave of the night. The other dishes were all decent but I didn't think they were mind blowing. Soothr is Super hyped up, but I actually think Chalong and fish cheeks are my two fave Thai restaurants in nyc, and are more unique than this one. Ambiance: tables were extremely small, and space is pretty crammed. read more

I finally got to try Soothr and understand why many deem this restaurant as their favorite in NYC. I was able to get a resy that I booked on a whim a couple of weeks in advance and was so glad I was able to visit! Notable favs of the night were the seafood tom yum hotpot and the karee pu noodles. Very authentic flavors and tons of seafood/crab in the dish! I typically dont loove tom yum hotpot but this one was very well balanced without having a super overpowering lemongrass flavor. We also got the green curry nuer toon, which had a nice kick and had plenty of beef to share amongst the four of us. Definitely do family style so you can share a bit of everything. The cocktails were also delicious and pretty strong. I got the rose quartz which tasted just as good as it looked. Will def be back and would def recommend visiting here if youre in NYC. read more

We were able to get reservations while visiting NYC and were soooo excited to have dinner here. The set up of the tables are reminiscent of Thailand - a little crowded with tight squeezes and lots of activity. All of our servers were fantastic - I was very impressed with how they were able to maneuver through the close quarters. Our meal was absolutely delicious starting with our cocktails all named after precious jewels. We had a large group so we were able to try a huge variety of dishes! My photos do not do the courses justice (largely because we sometimes attacked the yummies before I could take photos). I would definitely return to have this experience again. read more

# Overall: I definitely recommend giving Soothr a try. It might be a little weird having to go onto their website to look at the menu when you're seated, but I've been pleasantly surprised exploring the menu. I look forward to continue to do so. Currently, my top dish is the Panang Duck Lychee Curry. # Ambiance Soothr is tucked away just off of Union Square. After checking in with the staff, you're invited into a compact space where many tables are tightly packed together to accomdate the large crowd that Soothr regularly attracts. Behind the bar leads a gallery with more tables that ultimately leads to a more open area with more seating. The lighting and decor work together to create a more classic vibe. You are asked to search and use the menu on their website for food, but you will be given a physical menu for drinks. # Food and Drink Had Yai Chicken The chicken is very crispy as expected, but ultimately the dish is defined by the sauce. Bites of chicken tend to be overshadowed by the sauce which pairs very well with the fried shallots used as garnish. Karee Pu Noodles I've been to Soothr a few times now and there hasn't been a time where I haven't ordered these noodles. The noodles act as a perfect vessel for the curry which is strong on umami and seafood sweetness, further amplified by the lump crab meat. The curry is a bit more thick and eggy than the other curries, but this is a must try for a first time experience. More than likely there will be some leftover curry when you're done with the noodles, but this is nothing more than a wonderful problem that can be addressed with some rice. Ultimately, this curry is delicious, but I was unaware I would've had a new favorite curry when I tried the Panang curry later. Khao Soi Sai Ua Feeling a little adventurous, I decided to try something new on the menu and decided on the Khao Soi. The curry for this noodle dish was definitely more on the earthy side. The dry noodles did a perfect job soaking up the curry and honestly I preferred those over the regular noodles. I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy sausage though, especially the texture. Panang Duck Lychee Curry This was another new pick off the menu and this was an absolute game changer. The curry is sweet, spicy, and umami, really creamy while still allowing the saffron shine through. The duck is nice and tender, but it could've probably been rendered a little longer as the skin was a bit chewier than I'd like. Regardless, we had to order another one of these because it was such a smash hit for our table of 3. Mango Sundae This was the second time having the mango sundae, and I've only learnt that I need to wait for mango season to fully enjoy this dessert. The mango ice cream is still good, but ultimately the frozen/canned mangoes that are used just don't hit the same. Others That I've tried Yum Kaw Moo This was an appetizer I tried previously and can recommend. It is a more acidic appetizer, but does a great job with opening up your appetite. Koong Karee This curry dish is ultimately the same curry used in the Karee Pu noodles, but with shrimp instead of lump crab meat. To me, this serves as a more sharable Karee Pu noodle. Thai Iced Tea Didn't see non-alcoholic drinks on the menu this latest time I've been, but I've had it once before. It was good but there wasn't anything too distinctive about it. read more

Professional and friendly servers who were quick, friendly, and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. I can see why the hype for this place has not died down over the years. All the food is PACKED with umami flavor. Cocktails and thai tea: I didn't try the cocktails, but they were very cute and photo-worthy! The thai tea was not watered down at all and the aroma is strong after each sip. Fried dumplings with plum sauce: Super crispy on the outside, hot and juicy on the inside, and just *perfect* with the sauce. Crab fried rice: Plenty of decently-sized chunks of crab meat in there. The sauces on the side make every bite so flavorful Duck noodles: Not as flavorful as the rest of the dishes, but not bland by any means. It was still delicious and balanced out the other orders nicely. Duck was great and the ginger was a nice acidic contrast to the rest of the plate. Beef pad si-iw: Very sweet with a lovely soft and chewy texture on the noodles. The eggs, veg, and beef also absorb the flavor of the sauce well. Koong karee: Plenty of shrimp, and tbh I could put that curry on anything. Towards the end of our meal when we ate all the duck, we were twirling the duck noodles into the curry lol. It was perfect with the rice too. Even if there was nothing else but the curry sauce and rice, I would happily order it. Worth the 1h wait and great value for what you're paying for compared to other spots in the city. read more

I heard about this place from an endearing video I watched on instagram and I had to try it out. As someone who confidently says Thai food is their favorite cuisine in the world, I had high expectations, so I was excited to try out their food because all of the raving reviews! Onto the food! We started with the Duck Rolls. These were lightly fried and perfectly crispy. The duck inside was so tender and flavorful and the plum sauce was very light and a great compliment to the rolls. These were a perfect starter to our meal! For our entrees, we ordered the Koong Karee, Chicken Khao Soi, Shrimp Pad Thai and the Roasted Pork Over Rice all to share. The Koong Karee was so incredibly creamy and savory. I have never seen that on a menu but I wish I saw it on more, it was so delicious. The star of the show for me will always be a Chicken Khao Soi, and they made this perfectly. The chicken was fall of the bone tender, and the curry was the perfect consistency. The noodles absorbed the rich flavors so well and the crispy egg noodles added the perfect crunch. A classic for me is a Pad Thai, and this Shrimp Pad Thai did not disappoint. In fact, it was one of the best ones I have had and I could have gobbled up the entire plate within seconds, but since we were sharing I had to show some self control! Last but not least, we ordered the Roasted Pork Over Rice. The marbling was perfect, and the meat was in a delicious sweet and savory sauce. I love that we also got a dipping sauce because I am a huge sauce girl. Highly recommend if you want to try something other than a curry or noodle based dish. Initially I put in a reservation request for this place because it was packed, and I am so grateful they were able to find last minute availability for us to enjoy such a delicious meal. When I come back to town, this will easily be one of the first spots I hit. I left this meal feeling so happy because I ate so much delicious Thai food and I could not recommend a place more. read more

Soothr - Roasted eggplant salad - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I visited this restaurant expecting an authentic Thai dining experience, especially given its Michelin Recommended status for the past five years. Unfortunately, the food fell far short of those expectations. Several dishes lacked the freshness and vibrant flavors that are the hallmark of Thai cuisine. The meat in multiple dishes had a processed texture more reminiscent of meatloaf than freshly prepared cuts. Vegetables were surprisingly scarce, leaving the plates feeling unbalanced and lacking the freshness that Thai cooking typically celebrates. The biggest disappointment was a stir-fry dish that appeared neither freshly stir-fried nor cooked to order. Instead, it tasted as though it had been prepared in advance and simply reheated. While there was a long line of customers outside, the food felt more like mass-produced fast food than carefully crafted Thai cuisine. Service was efficient, but the quality of the food did not justify either the wait or the restaurant's reputation. Based on this visit, I found the experience difficult to reconcile with the Michelin recommendation the restaurant has received. read more

Totally understand the hype & difficult resys after coming here for dinner with some friends! My friend booked the resy about a month in advance, and thankfully so, because Soothr was PACKED even for an early dinner! Would not chance a walk in here - make a reservation. As a party of 4, we ordered 2 apps (Moo Dang Puff ($14) & Had Yai Chicken ($13)), and both were tasty. The moo dang puff reminds me of a char siu pastry, & the had yai chicken was really moist. For entrees, we decided on the Seafood Tom Yum Hotpot ($27), Karee Pu Noodles ($30), Chicken Ki Mao ($19), and Green Curry Nuer Toon ($26) which is like a stewed beef green curry. Highly recommend ordering at least 1 entree per person even when splitting amongst a table. The portions are good for 1 person to eat alone, but could definitely split comfortably for 2 people. We wanted a taste of everything, so there was enough to try a bit of each dish! I really enjoyed the tom yum hotpot, which was just spicy and sour enough, and had a generous amount of seafood and broth. The green curry has a good kick to it, and the beef was really tender. Would recommend the green curry for those who tend to like more savory curries instead of sweeter curries. Karee Pu noodles were super interesting - this is definitely more of a sweeter curry, but it's aromatic and coats the noodles really well. We had quite a few large pieces of lump crab meat. Chicken kee mao is a classic, so no comments there. Service is super kind & attentive, even though they were really busy. The interior is quite cozy, so be prepared to squeeze a little into the table. Prices are on the pricier end for Thai, but on par for the city. read more

WOW. This place deserves the Michelin star. I genuinely don't even know where to begin. The duck noodles were fantastic. I also really liked the mango sticky rice. I came with 7 people, no reservation, and they got us seated in only 30 minutes! I think that is a win. It was a weekend! 7 people is a lot. The mango sticky rice was very very good. I liked the vibe of the place, it was very lively. This is a must visit spot. read more

Khao Soi was beautiful. Such a perfect dish. The staff is lovely and the food is incredibly fresh and flavorful. We stopped in at lunch time. We didn't have a reservation.

The first time I was here, I appeared to have forgotten to review and I had the Dry Sukothai Noodles with pork fishcake, dried shrimp, ground peanuts, and a mix of greens. We sat in the back area and back then, the place was noticeably a lot less crowded and the music wasn't blaring. I don't remember much else outside of it being pretty tasty though not particularly noteworthy but also thinking that I maybe got the wrong dish as I tried the Koong Karee which later became their most famous dish so more on that later. This time, I went with one of my usual groups a while back and we got a mix of things. To drink I had the Mukdah (Pearl) for $17 with Maker's Mark whiskey, egg white, and orange zest, I'm a fan of Maker's Mark and this cocktail was good with a bit of sweetness along with some orange flavor. The service was friendly though they were a bit fast bringing dishes as we kind of lacked room eventually. The place was too loud even with us having a pretty early dinner with both the music and the crowd. Said Koong Karee mentioned before is $24 and is listed as Soothr signature sautéed shrimps in creamy egg curry sauce, red pepper, scallions, onion and celery. This dish has become their famous offering for a reason with the shrimp being a good accompaniment to the rich curry which is thick and I think I tasted some coconut. One of the owners of this place brought this dish over to his new restaurant Chalong and honestly I think their version is better but this is the original so it's hard to complain . The Seared Duck Green Curry for $26 had caramelized duck breast (served medium) in spicy green curry with Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, red pepper and basil. The caramelized duck in particular was tender and well flavored and differently prepared than most ducks I find in Thai spots where it's usually slightly fried which was tasty and different. While I prefer red and others curries more, the green curry was good here with a lot of cooked down vegetables and was surprisingly more spicy. If you're looking for a spicy dish with some funk, I'd recommend the Prik Khing Moo Noom for $24 consisting of Stir fried pork in chili and herb paste, long bean, pepper, young pepper, corn, and kaffir lime leaves. Possibly a bit salty but nice and spicy with tender pork. I would recommend it as well but it definitely needs rice. If you're looking instead for more pure spice, the Spicy Braised Beef Pad Krapow for $23 is recommended. Said dish had sautéed braised beef in chili, garlic and basil. Pad krapow or Phat kaphrao refers to any dishes made with stir-fried holy basil. We ordered it at medium or spicy I believe and it definitely packed a punch which I am not surprised at as the rest of the menu doesn't tend to reduce their spices much. The beef was tender though perhaps a bit salty but still well flavored from the holy basil. The last savory dish was the Stewed Beef And Roasted Veg Massamun Curry is listed as for meat lover with roasted pumpkin, cauliflower, potatoes, ground peanuts and pickled red pearl shallot and is $27. It's also available as a vegetarian dish for $19 with the same vegetables sans meat. The meat addition is worth it here as there was a large chunk of tender beef. I'm not the hugest fan of Massamun as most places make it too sweet but the version here definitely toned it down and had more of the spices. We ordered a dessert which isn't on the menu currently which was the Pandan Custard with pandan egg custard, sweet sticky rice, mango compotes, and crispy mung beans. I presume based on the listed ingredients and since all desserts are $15 that this was the same price. The pandan had light sweetness while the sticky rice was a bit sweeter in comparison. The mango was in cubes and topped with more coconut milk and I don't remember tasting the mung beans but we were splitting like the rest of the dishes so I likely didn't get to it. It was tasty and nicely presented. Not much complaints here outside of it being way too loud here. I'm not exactly sure it's because of the sheer number of people leaving here or the unnecessary music or the restaurant walls/ceiling not properly handling the noise but it's a notable issue here and at some of the other popular very good Thai spots whether it is Chalong or Pranakhon. The food here overall is excellent with special notes to the excellent meat whether it is the duck or beef and less so the pork. Mid 4. read more

Soothr has always been one of my favorite Thai restaurants in NYC, consistently delivering great food. Their dishes are comforting and never disappoints. I highly recommend the Tom Yum seafood hotpot, especially on a cold day--perfect for sharing with friends. The crab fried rice is fantastic, with big, flavorful chunks of crab. Absolutely delicious! And don't skip the desserts--they're all amazing! It's a bit challenging to get a reservation, but it's absolutely worth it. read more

Tried again. Still a three star. Good food. Rushed service. Fine wine options. Price is fine for amount of food. Liked. Just didn't love.

Solid food and fast service. Everything is a little bit overpriced but I think that comes with the status of this place. I definitely was expecting it to be better given the hype and people declaring this the best Thai food, but I don't think this is #1 for me. I'd try other dishes if I'm lucky to get a reservation again one day. read more

We had a party of 5 so we had to email to make a reservation, but they quickly confirmed it for the next day no problem. We went at 530pm on Sunday and it was already fairly busy. They only seat full parties but one person was nearly 30 minutes late but they were nice enough to keep our table for us which was so nice. We were seated in the farthest back section which was a covered and air conditioned pavilion. I got the summer speciality cocktail which was pretty fruity and floral. I got the summer chef special, the Ba Mik Karee Pu, which is a combination of their two popular dishes - the Ba Mii Pu (dry crab noodles) and the Koong Karee (creamy egg curry). The curry sauce with crab meat is SO delicious ... so much flavor .. just the right amount of spice to give it flavor but not burn my mouth. The noodles were cooked so perfectly, like al dente curly ramen noodles. Service was so nice! Food came out pretty quickly. They were sure to tell us we had a 90 minute limit. We left around 80 minutes in (after talking for quite a while) but I'm sure if it's really packed they'd be more strict on enforcing the rule. And for good reason because this place is great! Highly recommend! read more

One of my favorite Thai spots in NYC!! Inside seating is nice and cozy, but it's pretty tight as you're sitting essentially right next to the tables around you. Sometimes you can get lucky with a short wait and other times it can be longer. Would try your luck if you show up early or on a weekday. Duck Lychee Curry - MY FAVORITE Thai curry! It's creamy, spicy, and umami. The lychee flavor is very light but I think it adds a bright element to the dish. Duck is perfectly cooked and tender each time. Duck rolls - I liked this dish since I've never seen something like it on a Thai restaurant menu. Super flavorful and soft, hot filling. Karee pu noodles - I didn't love this because it was a bit too sweet and creamy for me. Also I'm not a huge fan of crab so I don't know why I even ordered it, I think everyone was ordering it so I assumed I needed to, but could skip out on this one. Pad si iw - Solid pad si iw! Great flavor and meat to noodle ratio is spot on. Very amazing Thai food with average-high pricing. read more

Dropped into Soothr for a birthday dinner as a group of 6. We were running a bit late but they still held the table for us for around 20 minutes which was much appreciated. 5/6 of us ordered the Kong Karee, which seems to be the star of their menu. Contrary to rave reviews here, while the Kong Karee was good, I don't think it was anything particularly mind-blowing. If I was in the area and managed to grab a res I'd definitely visit again but probably wouldn't go out of my way to wait more than 30 minutes for a table. read more

I have to say that Soothr was my favorite thai place for a couple of years when it first opened and remains up at the top - their tom yum noodles and ton yum soup are excellent as are the small bites, salads (under Green - plant forward on the online menu), the fried branzino, chicken ki-mao. I'm getting hungry just listing these! Ambiance is lovely if you manage to get the seats near the front windows otherwise can feel a bit crowded- but hey, it's the east village! read more

I was recommended to check out this place on my trip to New York and I'm really glad I did! We ordered the duck noodles, pad Thai, khao soi, and the beef and roasted vegetable masamun curry - everything to share. Everything was done perfectly and everyone in our group had a different favourite dish. The khao soi was too spicy for me but the spice lover in our group enjoyed it. The service was also really good and attentive. We had our glasses of water refilled many times without even asking. If you can book a reservation early!

I was so excited to try Soothr because it came highly recommended by people that I trust, but I was really disappointed by the food that I ordered. The duck rolls were 14$ but was 99% stuffed with wood ear mushrooms and had maybe half a piece of duck split between 4 rolls. Wouldn't recommend it, unless you like feeling ripped off. I also ordered the crab curry noodle dish that's a mix of 2 signature dishes. The curry was too heavy for my taste, really lacking in crab, and way too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this dish either. Service is fine and ambiance is fine. Nothing special in nyc. Maybe I didn't order right, but I don't think I'll go back unless someone really pushes for this place because there's a bunch of other Thai places that I prefer in nyc. read more

Honestly, this place has been bookmarked for me for the longest time and my friends and I finally had a chance to go on a Saturday for dinner time. HIGHLY recommend making a reservation in advance as this place was POPPIN - there was already a line when we got there for a 5:30 pm reservation (they open around 5 pm). They have both indoor and outdoor seating - we opted to sit outdoors since the indoor was a little chilly since we were right by the AC. The service were definitely great here and they were super attentive and took our orders quickly. We decided to get main dishes and apps to share: -Duck Rolls: these were very tasty and yummy, crispy outside. Def recommend these -Moo Dang Puff: These come in three pieces, this one was just okay so I would pass on this one -Duck Noodles: The duck was soo tasty and yummy. The overall dishes was very flavorful - the noodles reminded me of the texture of maggi mee but the overall flavor of the dish was really good -Chicken Kao Soi: This dish is on the spicy side but sooo creamy and tasty. Definitely recommend this if you are into creamy curry noodle type dishes Overall good and friendly vibes with great food. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

This is a 4.7 review so I am rounding up to 5 stars. Went here on a Friday night, May 2, with a 9:00 PM reservation. The hostess Nancy was very kind even though my friend was running late. We were seated promptly and I have to give the hostess credit because I was forward with her about when we would be seated. My friend cannot eat spicy food so that limited our menu. Our waiter was named Gavin and he had a positive spirit that resonated with our whole meal. I also saw him and a guy coming out of the kitchen bump into each other and Gavin somehow caught two dishes at once that would have otherwise fallen to the floor. Gavin, you are the man. We ordered cocktails, one was tequila, one was the whiskey pear. Both were delicious and strong. For appetizers we ordered the fried dumpling with shrimp, crab and I think pork. They must have been an homage to the old 80's Thai Toast dish because that is exactly what they tasted like. Thai toast was my favorite Thai appetizer dishes I ate growing up. In fact, my father had his surprise 40th birthday party way back in 1987 in a Thai restaurant in Houston, Texas where I was allowed to eat copious amounts of Thai toast. This dish brought me back to that memory. We also had the chive vegetarian appetizer which felt like fried dough and was very forward with the chive flavor. The dark soyish sauce went well. I would order it again. I wanted noodles but my friend said he isn't a noodle person so I got the Koong Karee, which is their specialty. It comes with 9-10 shrimp with tails on in a egg based yellow curry sauce with rice. VERY good. Since my friend doesn't like spice, I did not ask them to add any extra spice. I will say, if you do like spiace and order the Koong Karee, upgrade the spice level. My friend got jumbo lump crab fried rice and it was solid. The crab was fresh, jumbo, lump, and had the sweet taste you would expect from this type of meal. Overall, I loved watching the people operate this restaurant, they know what they are doing. I plan to return soon! read more

Had to make a reservation in advance to have dinner here. The pad si-ew is a Thai staple and can never go wrong. The Crab curry noodles were delicious and had tons of flavor! Would definitely come back here. read more
