It's elegant inside and the interior design is beautiful! I walked in for our reservation at 12:30 PM, and the place was just the two of us on a Friday afternoon. Within an hour, it started to fill up due to the heat rising outside. One thing worth mentioning is that it was breathtaking inside. It has beautiful decor and just felt like I was in a different part of the world. Our table was literally a cut stone and the plates were picked with great detail. Our server was kind and patient as we agonized over what to select for our meal. My friend doesn't eat red meat or raw fish but that didn't deter me from ordering the whole royale dorade sashimi. That was really soothing and delicious being that we walked in on a day hot enough to be considered a heat wave. My friend had the Thai tea swizzle. Yes, they have refreshers (non-alcoholic drinks) along with cocktails (alcoholic). I know my friend decided on the grilled chicken Lao style which was really good, whereas I ordered the grilled branzino which came with this delicious salsa Verde. I was debating on whether to get more: looking at the other delicious salads, gai lan, and the Isaan beef meatballs, but my tummy couldn't fit in another bite. I even saw a dessert section which looked yummy (ube creme caramel or the Thai tea affogato). I would recommend this spot especially for a celebration. I did not know about the tasting menus. Interesting! read more

Had dinner at Twin Tails on an early Sunday evening when they weren't too busy and had a truly excellent meal from beginning to end. Started with the Netted Chicken Spring Rolls (great flavor) and the Emerald Goddess Salad (unique and refreshing) and both were terrific. Our main was the Cho Lon Duck which was nicely prepared and presented. Compared well with the best Peking Ducks that we have had. The Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice was an excellent side as was the Charred Brussels Sprouts. The Bamboo Sweet Sticky Rice was also good and presented on a unique way. The Soufflé (we had the Vietnamese Mocha - need to come back to try the other flavors) was a wonderful dessert to end the meal along with the Rainbow Sherbet Cake. Nice decor, great view and terrific service (our server Karmela was very helpful and friendly) Will definitely be back. read more

A vibey spot for Thai eats -- you're definitely paying a premium for the ambiance and service, located in Columbus Circle with nice view of CP South. We did a prefixe menu, was nice to have that happening in the background with a large group - standout hits were Coconut Rice, Branzino, Pomelo Salad! I wasn't particularly blown away by drinks, especially given price point. Service was great, really appreciated all of the staff! read more

There's not a lot of high end SouthEast Asian restaurants in NYC and I'm so glad this one captures the flavors accurately! We did the $75/person signature and added the duck for +$30/person. An insane deal in my opinion. The duck took a while to come out, but so worth it! It was so delicious. Perfectly balanced amount of skin, fat, and meat! We were already full after the appetizers and the duck. But we had 3 FULL entrees and 2 desserts to go. The appetizers were great. The fried rolls were very authentically Vietnamese flavored. You can't go wrong with any of the entrees. The sauce that came with the branzino was great and the fish itself was grilled to perfection! The shaking beef had a slightly sweet and salty flavor profile. The noodles paired nicely with both. The mango sticky rice's rice was amazing! The best rice of a mango sticky rice I've had. I wish the mangos were a bit more ripe, but the coconut cream was able to add the sweetness element. Our dinner took 3 hours, a bit long in my opinion. We had to flag down our servers many times. read more

I dined solo tonight, and this restaurant left a great impression on me. When I arrived, I was greeted by two friendly hosts and sat at the bar which had full service. Carmen was my server/bartender, and she was so kind. She gave me great insight on the menu, and portion sizes. I opted for the Bánh Khot of the small plates off the menu paired with a glass Chenin Blanc. I was blown away by the peekytoe crab and champagne mango with the meal! The person that ran my food out kindly paired my small bite their house-made passion fruit sauce on the side. The ambiance of the restaurant is chic and beautifully decorated and lit. I'm definitely coming back with my husband! read more

Twin Tails - Chenin Blanc - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

One of my favorite places I've eaten at all year!! Truly a gem, I can't wait to come back! The service was great from beginning to end and nothing short of attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice intimate vibe so great for date nights or for smaller group settings. We sat at the bar and our bartender was Arti, who was super kind and had great banter. Regarding the food, it was phenomenal! So many good choices to choose from but some of my favorites include: green curry escargot, branzino, oysters, and Chinese broccoli. I also recommend the chocolate soufflé, as someone who doesn't enjoy chocolate desserts, this was amazing and reminded me of a brownie. I have a shortlist of restaurants that I really enjoy and this is definitely on it. read more

The first time I visited Twin Tails I came in just to try the ube soufflé and it did not disappoint. We also had a couple of appetizers and ever since I could not wait to return. I finally had the chance to go back and have a full meal and it was absolutely delish. Not to mention the stunning setting with Columbus Circle views and the amazing service. The Vietnamese & Thai dishes here are exquisite. Everything from the spring rolls to filet mignon is top notch. Enjoy! read more

We came here for lunch and really enjoyed the branzino (highly recommend!!!). It's very flavorful and has a kick. We also got a side of jasmine rice - the sauce from the branzino goes really well with the rice! Would come back for this! We also really enjoyed the yellowtail crudo - great flavor here as well just wish there were more pieces. The garlic shrimp was good too but I wished they just peeled the shrimp before cooking The place is located in colombus circle on the 3rd floor. Great ambiance and it's pretty spacious inside! It is on the higher price point but worth it for a nice occasion. read more

Gorgeous and elegant in the heart of Columbus circle, this place was a gem! As soon as you walk in, you're amazed at the decor. It felt very serene but at the same time lively! We were seated overlooking the park (in front of the statue - don't know its name :/) which we definitely appreciated! Host was amazing as well as our waiter even though he was new. Food was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to return to try other items from the menu. read more

Twin Tails is effortlessly stunning! Tucked in Columbus Circle with a warm, moody ambiance that feels both intimate and refined & service was attentive throughout. The Pom Pom Spritz and Phuket Swizzle were both refreshing and well-composed with a good alcohol-juice ratio. The Cho Lon Duck is the standout and absolutely worth ordering. Designed to share, it was incredibly tender & flavorful, easily one of the tastiest ducks I've had. We also had the chicken pad kra pao, which was well-seasoned, aromatic, and a great balance to the richness of the other dish. We finished with the coconut red soufflé which was light, warm, and delicately sweet. Order it about 15 mins in advance to give them time to prepare it. read more

The entrance from the mall is so unassuming, but as soon as you open that door, you are transported to such a beautiful restaurant. A little dark and moody, but very high class. The views are amazing! I would totally recommend this place for a celebration dinner. Service is stellar and food is too! Everything is presented so beautifully, and I can confirm it isn't just looks. Thai Tea Swizzle - make sure you mix it well or you're going to be hit with either the sweetest or wateriest swig, lol. Very refreshing and super tasty. Cho Lon Duck - this is perfect as a meal split between two people. We loved the different offerings as they allowed us to mix and match each bite. I appreciated that they also included the cuts they could meticulously slice because value for your money, but I also just want to eat meat. Its definitely more of a splurge item, but it is worth it. Ube Crème Caramel - wow. This was so amazing. Flavors were perfectly balanced and the burnt sugar added the perfect little twang. Please please try this! Even our server said this was the best dessert option. read more

Twin Tails is an 1980s-inspired Southeast Asian restaurant located on the 3rd floor of the Shops at Columbus Circle, serving Thai-Vietnamese cuisine. It's operated by Quality Branded, the same group behind Don Angie and Zou Zou's, but I hadn't actually heard of this restaurant until I started researching pescatarian friendly restaurants in the area. While they do serve meat and poultry, the menu leans heavily seafood-forward, which immediately caught my attention. The space is romantic and retro, with a moody, dimly lit ambiance and comfortable booth seating. It's also much larger inside than I expected, which gives it a lively feel without being cramped. The night we went, they were hosting a collaboration with Thai restaurant Zaab Zaab, offering a special menu that included a seafood soufflé. Prices fall into the $$$ range, but they're not unreasonable for the setting, portions, and execution. I ordered the crispy garlic shrimp--jumbo, perfectly battered, with just a touch of heat from the chiles. The portion was generous, though you have to order rice separately. Easily some of the best shrimp I've had and absolutely worth the price. My friend ordered the sea bass curry, which arrived wrapped in a banana leaf . She was expecting a bowl of curry and found the dish a little under-sauced, but she requested curry on the side, and the kitchen accommodated without issue. Service was good overall, though it was a bit difficult to get our server's attention at times. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but I do plan to return. This is exactly the kind of restaurant you bring out-of-town friends to when you want to impress. read more

I thought this was actually a Thai restaurant but apparently it's a Vietnamese restaurant. We absolutely loved the place and the food. We started with BBQ meatballs which were so flavorful. Duck tower was amazingly good and their fried rice was perfectly flavored. I wished to have more rooms in my tummy!!! Server was very attentive and was knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very elegant which fits so well for Columbus Circle. If you're looking for a spot in Columbus Circle, this is it. read more

My daughter wanted to experience their famous Cho Lon Duck with me so here we came! The restaurant is beautiful and located right by the Columns Circle. The waitress was professional and helpful. She explained the portion of the duck is equivalent to 2 entrees, and recommended a few appetizers; they all sounded amazing. Since it's only 2 of us and can't take any leftovers b/c we're catching a show later so we only ordered the Netted chicken rolls besides the duck. The duck was Delicious! It came with 3 different sauces and the coconut rice was good too. The chicken spring rolls were made with double rice paper making it extra crunchy, great flavor and texture. It was an excellent lunch, highly recommend if you're in the area. Actually you should make a reservation b/c they're really popular. read more

This Columbus circle restaurant is just such a gem in the building. The bar is beautiful and fun, the tables comfortable and spacious, and the ambiance embodies a Thai drug lord lair in the sky, in the best possible way! The space truly stuns from the moment you walk in. Every cocktail was great with a refreshing Negroni and a stellar Sambal Margarita. The only thing not quite where I wanted it was the espresso martini at the end. Two dishes you must get are the duck and the dorade sashimi. They're both beautiful, incredibly tasty, and worth every dollar. Overall the menu is pricey, but no dish fell flat, and many items were straight up excellent! We had our baby with us and the staff was so kind and wonderful about that. Overall we ended up with a service team that made us great drinks, served us awesome food, and took good care of us! We'll be back, just hope someone else gets the bill read more

My friend treated me to a birthday dinner a few weeks ago. The sister restaurant from the same group that owns Bad Roman, which are both located inside the Shops at Columbus Circle. We started off with cocktails, and boy, they were strong!! My friend ordered the salted lychee Martini, and I ordered the Bangkok Screwdriver. We paired our drinks with the Grand Appetizer that had to be modified by replacing the lobster spring rolls with Vietnamese Bo La Lot. The chef was generous to give us a full order of this dish, and it was worth ordering it. The Grand Appetizer also consisted of pork cha gio rolls, chicken Satay, banh khot, and Yellowtail. For our entree, we shared the cho lon duck with a side of wok tossed long beans. We definitely enjoyed the long beans, meanwhile, the duck was beautifully presented, and the portion size was meant to be shared with 3-4 people. The duck is worth ordering for the experience and a fun DIY way to create your own peking duck wrap. My friend took the leftovers home. To end the night, we ordered the ube creme caramel, which was very good. However, we could not finish the dish because we were both full. and since we celebrated a birthday, we got a Thai ice coffee affogato on the house. The affogato was one of best I have had in a while. The coffee used was also strong. This place is so worth going to celebrate a special occasion or have a group dinner. I would definitely go back to experience their tasting menu and lunch special(s). read more

The place has an amazing vibe - you go from being inside a mall to this chic restaurant. Our table overlooked Columbus Circle which we really enjoyed. Our server was Karmela and she was excellent. We shared a bunch of things including Yellowfin Tuna, Cured Fluke, Pork Cha Gio Rolls, Isaan Meatballs, Maine Lobster Summer Rolls, Shaking Beef and Peekytoe Crab Fried Rice. It was fun to try so many of their offerings and everything we had was delicious. I would say the Fluke and the Isaan Meatballs were the standouts! We also shared the Rainbow Sherbet Cake for dessert and it was refreshing on a hot day. Cocktails were creative and we enjoyed the Sambal Margaritas. It was a pricey dinner but it was worth the splurge. read more

We celebrated a birthday here, and the experience was wonderful from the moment we walked in. They seated us at a corner table by the window, perfect for an intimate celebration, and surprised the birthday guest with a sweet birthday card already set on the table. The restaurant has a romantic, luxurious vibe with a stunning view of Central Park and Columbus Circle. Every dish we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. We started a tasty and refreshing, papaya salad, the Cho Lon Duck came in three tiers -- it looks similar to Peking duck but with Thai spices and sauce, creating a flavorful Thai-style version. The royal dorade sashimi was fresh and paired with a Thai dipping sauce, giving it a refreshing twist. We also really enjoyed the lobster noodles and bamboo sticky rice. The desserts were outstanding -- especially the soufflé, which is a must-order. It takes about 20 minutes because it's made fresh, and the unique flavors (we tried the coconut red curry soufflé!) are something you won't find in any other Thai restaurant. They also offered a complimentary birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. Even though the restaurant was full and busy, the staff never rushed us. They let us take our time and enjoy the evening, and the service throughout the night was truly exceptional. After dinner, my friend said she definitely plans to bring her family next time because she enjoyed it so much. read more

We went there on a Saturday night. We drove from NJ, and how lucky we got a free spot on 58th street. If you go just before 7, spots are available. We started with drinks at the bar, 4 w tip 100. Pretty good fir the city and they were not the junior ones some placed serve We're a bit older , mid 60's , nice happening feel. It was our first time, but are friends have been a few times. It's a sharing menu, so hopefully, you all like the same things. We started with Dorado sashimi. Kind of crazy how they serve it, as a whole fish with head, cut into sashimi bites. It was good, not great. We also had for apps the crab w mini pancakes and the summer roll. Both were good, not memorable. I like the dip for the summer roll most For dinner we shared the duck. We love parking duck and this was that with a better presentation. We also had the cod, excellent, but a very small portion. Overall food was an 8. The bartender and our server Tyler were a 10. We had 730 reservation and my wife complained that the bathroom was not that clean. I recommend as a good experience, but wouldn't go out my way to go back. Wish I snapped a pic of the duck, but I'm sure you'll see it on line. Price 500 plus tip. read more

Last night was my first time at Twin Tails. Immediately upon entry you are struck with this amazing decor, beautiful view of Columbus circle, and just an awe inspiring ambiance. Usually I note that the staff was great which they were, and they were very attentive, which they were. But I would would much like to highlight Pooja. She was above and beyond amazing. Pooja's knowledge of the each dish and drink coming out was amazing. She was also so welcoming as if I knew her for years. If you do make it to Twin Tails I'd ask for Pooja she'll definitely take care of you, just make sure you take care of her yelpers. As for the food we had so much and if could write that I disliked something I would. But I can't. Every single thing was an explosion of flavors, contrasts of textures. Every dish was an artistic representation of Vietnamese cuisine without skipping out on flavor. Some places the food may look nice but doesn't stack up in the flavor department this is not one of those places. Some standouts for me were the dorade sashimi, if they would of gave me a cup of that cilantro sauce it came with I would've been happy with that so much flavor added onto such a tender sweet piece of fish. Another the pork shank which was juicy, yet crisp and packed with flavor. The glass noodles just put that in a bucket and I'll be a happy camper. Twin tails is relatively new so I'd definitely head there ask for Pooja, and enjoy the meal experience you've been yearning for. read more

They are always consistent and always good! The food never misses! ORDER A SOUFFLÉ! We tried the passion fruit. Soooo good. I've tried the coconut red curry previously and it pleasantly surprised me. NETTED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS- delicious especially when wrapped in lettuce leaf and sauce is poured on BÁNH KHỌT (chilled perky toe crab and mango) is refreshing and flavorful Pork shank is always flavorful. Only dish that comes with rice. Rice has a lemony taste. Tiger prawn pad Thai without peanuts is very flavorful. The prawns are served on a skewer and difficult to remove. Crispy garlic shrimp is NOT DRY. Has a slight glaze. Slightly salty. Very good Drunker lobster noodles has a lot of lobster within it. Thin vermicelli noodles in it. My party enjoyed it. The flavor was okay to me. Lemongrass ribs doesn't have a strong lemongrass taste. More sweet and spicy. I loved this! Peekytoe crab fried rice is lemony. A lot of crab meat. Rainbow sherbet cake contains cashews. It's good. But the soufflés are better. Was very pissed that we stated it was my mom's birthday, ordered the deserts early on before the entrees and they were brought out without candles or even anyone to sing happy birthday. 40 mins earlier, my entire table watched then do this for another table. My mom was so upset. Our server left for the evening and we were given a different server. When he heard how upset we were, he genuinely seemed confused. Then he came back with a complementary ube flan with a birthday candle. It was very kind of him. But it really bothered us because I put it in my reservation notes as well as let me server know ahead of time I also know it takes time to make the soufflé and I'm curious if I didn't think to order ahead of time, if it would have been possible me to receive it since it wasn't mentioned like it had been in my other visits. read more

TLDR; Wow wow wow! Hidden away in the Columbus Circle mall 3rd Floor, Twin Tails was a spectacular experience, from the ornate decor, earthy hues, and the friendly, personable staff to the vibrant, fresh, and delicious Thai-Vietnamese items we had. They knocked it out of the park -- not an exaggeration. I came here for my birthday lunch, and after we ordered some cocktails, we shared a bunch of items. We started off with the chicken spring rolls and the papaya-kumquat small plate. Both were very excellent, light starters. The chicken spring rolls were so flavorful and crispy. The papaya and kumquat small plate came with a bunch of lettuce and basil with which we could make lettuce wraps, and they mixed the ingredients tableside! For our main dishes, we shared the cucumber-mango cobb salad, coconut rice, red curry sea bass, and the night market chicken. All of the dishes were fantastic, and the coconut rice paired beautifully with the seabass and the chicken, both of which were very tender and juicy. The seabass with the coconut rice were probably my favorite bites of the day. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice, ube creme caramel, and the Thai ice coffee affogato. All were delectable but the ube crème caramel stole the show. It was so unique in flavor and not overly sweet. The texture was so smooth and nice, and the color was such a pretty deep purple. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Twin Tails. The attention to detail, both in design but with the quality of food was particularly striking. Thank you for making my bday lunch a memorable one! read more

The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were absolutely lovely--friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I really wanted to love this place, especially with all the buzz on social media, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet expectations. We ordered a variety of dishes--duck, lobster roll, chicken spring roll, steak, fish sashimi, pork belly, Brussels sprouts, and glass noodles--but none of them really stood out. Most of the food was quite salty, and the cocktails didn't quite hit the mark either. Everything was also on the pricier side, which made it a bit disappointing. While the service and ambiance were great, the overall dining experience just wasn't for me. read more

A really nice, aesthetic spot in columbus circle. The food is good, however everything was really pricey ($17 for a side of rice!), which I suppose would expect for an "upscale" restaurant. Service was average, our waiter was really off putting and not friendly, we also waited over 30 minutes between our shared bites and our one main dish that we ordered (the shaken beef). They didn't come up to us to let us know our main dish was going to be late until about 20-25 min. We also didn't receive anything comped after waiting that long. I was just expecting more high end service given the type of restaurant. Overall, food was great, but wouldn't be coming back based on the service. read more

Ambiance is nice (similar to old Wild Ink in Hudson yards). Food is fancy Asian fusion - some nice touches but uneven. I wasn't hungry so just sampled a few dishes: - emerald goddess salad - flavorful and went well with the crispy rice - crab and uni toast - not good. Uni was not fresh. - pandan pistachio soufflé - too sweet and sadly not as interesting as I hoped - I did enjoy the complimentary lettuce and herbs they give you, along with their home made hot sauce As someone who eats a ton of Thai food, I would say the food here was above average but not super memorable, similar to most Asian fusion places. Might still be a nice place to come for a date or dinner with friends. read more

I came here with a friend for dinner last night, and it exceeded my expectations. I figured that it would be just another clubby subpar restaurant in Columbus circle, but the food was actually very good. We had both been wanting to check it out, and were able to easily snag a reservation. When you walk in, you go up a long circular ramp and then are greeted with a long bar and tables. It's a pretty large restaurant with lots of wood accents and the music is pretty loud. We were seated right away and we were walked through the menu and provided suggestions from our server. We ordered the lobster spring rolls to start, which were ok. For our entree, we shared the sea bass with the red curry sauce and the coconut rice and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were complex and melted in your mouth. For dessert, we ordered the pandan pistachio soufflé and it was very good. I'd definitely come back here again if in the mood to have a fun night out with friends or on a date. read more

Popped into this viral spot on a Friday night around 9 PM and snagged a table for two without a wait--score! The menu focuses on Thai-Vietnamese street food, but don't expect anything groundbreaking. We went for the viral duck, which was solid but not mind-blowing. Good, not wow. The vibe is what makes this place. It's a great casual spot for a date or a fun night out, it's giving Buddakan ambience that's worth the slightly higher price tag compared to your average Thai/Vietnamese joint in the city. You're paying for the experience more than the food. Might swing by again for drinks and to soak in the atmosphere, but the food alone wouldn't pull me back. read more

Had an absolute FEAST at Twin Tails and will not forget it. ***Actual food review starts below It was one of my first meals after I came to NYC and honestly it really set the bar up there - my mom and I discovered it in the Columbus Circle and at first we were thrown off by the entrance because it's just two doors and you can't see anything inside the actual restaurant. Feels somewhat like a speakeasy as once you enter it's a completely different atmosphere as it's pretty dim inside with warm glowy lighting and the interior is that of retro luxury. I'd say the inside is kind of on the louder side as there were a lot of people and conversations going on but we were seated pretty close to the other tables. Shoutout to our server Chloe because she was an actual star throughout the whole experience!! She was super sweet and helpful, so well-informed of the menu, and genuinely made this dinner a delightful one, so we're very grateful for her service - the literal words of me and my mom. That being said the other servers were also so nice and welcoming as well, so overall can say that TT's service was wonderful!! We ended up getting the Netted Chicken Spring Rolls, Green Papaya & Kumquat Salad, Royal Dorade Sashimi, Tiger Prawn Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice (technically dessert but we asked if we could order it to eat as a side)*** Netted Chicken Spring Rolls : 5/5 - I would say it tasted more like an egg roll than a spring roll, but I love the crisp it had and it pairs so perfectly with the lettuce/cilantro wraps. Would actually eat this every day if I could. Green Papaya & Kumquat Salad : 5/5 - First impression was: wow this salad has got a kick AND zest to it! The kumquat was actually so prominent without overpowering the papaya, both of which made the dish so refreshing and succulent. This flavor combo is actually one of my favorites now - the tanginess of the kumquat complements the tartness of the papaya and pomegranate seeds beautifully. Genuinely so curious about the other salads because they all sounded incredible. Royal Dorade Sashimi : 4.5/5 - The fish was fresh and fatty, literally glistening, and had this springy-ness to it that made each bite nice and tender. My only thing is that the fish itself was a bit salty, especially with the sauces on the side that were also salty. But I did love this one sauce that had a peppery, mint (or some type of herbal) flavor. Tiger Prawn Pad Thai : 4/5 - I think the appetizers had knocked everything out of the park so hard that in comparison the pad thai felt pretty standard. Still great pad thai, and I liked how the noodles were chewy, kinda like al dente style. The tiger prawns were a bit tough to eat through as I think they may have been overcooked. I will say this one took a bit to come out, but maybe we devoured those appetizers a little too quickly. Mango Sticky Rice : 5/5 - Love love love the macadamia on the rice (wish there was more ) because it is absolutely sublime with the mango and coconut milk. We were so full but we'll definitely have to come back for their passionfruit souffle and signature dishes, and ofc their cocktails because they sounded amazing. Can't wait to come back to TT again :)) read more

We had such an excellent experience at Twin Tails. We were first seated in a booth in the back, they happily moved us by the window as requested we just had to wait for availability (which is completely fine and understandable, of course). Our server was Hugh and he was just suchhhhh a gem. Incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend requesting to sit in his section if he's working during your visit. Hugh convinced us to order the whole royal dorade sashime, which I wasn't originally interested in because this was the most expensive item in the raw section, but WOW. It was incredible! And it is a decent amount of sashimi for the price tag. I highly recommend ordering this! It is buttery and so delectable. Twin Tails is known for their duck, I am personally not a duck fan but again--WOW WOW WOW. This was SO good. The duck tower with the wraps/toppings/sauces, it was all amazing. The tiger prawn pad thai was also SO good. For dessert, we had red curry suffle. To be honest, it didn't taste very red curry to me however it was VERY delicious. Literally every meal, the ambiance, the SERVICE--all excellent. 10/10 visit would absolutely go back. We definitely dropped a pretty penny per person, but it was all worth it and everything was shareable, allowing everyone to try everything! Again, want to shout out Hugh for being such a stellar server! :) read more

Heard a lot about this vibey new Vietnamese place from the Bad Roman team in the same mall that Bad Roman is in, and as someone who grew up eating no frills Vietnamese food and in general, prefers mom and pop local shops in Queens for his asian food than eating in the city where the price is 3x as much for not better quality, I was skeptical. But -- I had an excellent meal here. The drink, food and dessert menu truly honors authentic Vietnamese flavors like lemongrass, fish sauce, and combines the influence of other southeast asian cuisines utilizing pandan in their souffle, and thai iced coffee in their affogato - both EXCELLENT and some outstanding bites from this year. The food was excellent all around as well - those spring rolls were delectable and highly memorable. The shaking beef was extremely tender and flavorful, savory and a little smoky. The spicy chicken stir fry did not pull punches on spice and heat. The sticky rice was sooo sticky and gently sweet. Delicious. One thing to know is that it IS quite an expensive meal. But it takes authentic asian flavors, honors them, and creates a new expression of them in many of their items, especially in their desserts. One thing that was moderate to highly unpleasant - the wait staff kept trying to upsell us on items, urging us to order more, or order another round of drinks. Felt like they were trying to figure out how much money they could squeeze out of us, rather than the normal interaction you might expect with a waiter. read more
