The edamame dip is not to be skipped. Pad Thai is awesome. Seared salmon is amazing. Your welcome.
Sanaz EhsaniDecember 14, 2016Don't go here for good service but for excellent food for an excellent price. Ginger fried chicken is great!
Maddie GruderJuly 29, 2011The Ginger chicken is so delicious and tender! Accompanied by the julienned vegetable salad and an iced Thai tea...better than words can describe!
MoRizaSeptember 28, 2013Try the Japanese Fried Chicken - Nicely sauces and lightly grilled to be the tastiest bits of wings in Nolita.
One my my favorite restaurants in nyc for many reasons mostly beyond the food.
Patrick BaskinSeptember 15, 2015Surprisingly great spot! Fried Rice is great and the egg sandwich is solid
Brendan LewisAugust 23, 2014The pineapple cashew with tofu is so good you'll forget you didn't order it with chicken
If the salmon with green curry is being offered as a special, get it. It's quite special!
Cristina F-MMarch 22, 2010get me the ginger fried chicken and the green curry and I am in heaven. pad thai and papaya salad (watch out, it's native spicy) are great too. actually everything is awesome.
Claudia FilthMarch 19, 2016Don't wait in line for a seat at the restaurant, head downstairs to their cellar bar!
AUSTINJanuary 4, 2015Get the strawberry & banana pancakes during brunch and the matcha green tea latte 🍵
Hannah StrausOctober 21, 2014Pad see ew, curry (any of them), and surprisingly the burger (it's a special) 👍
Basement floor bar/restaurant is better than the 1st floor but there's no wifi/cell service down there.
Francesca KrihelyMay 14, 2012The coconut curry soup is a good pick--not spicy or authentic but tasty. If thats not your steaz go for the hobo noodle.
Always insanely quick with take out orders, even when it seems like they're packed. Really nice staff, too!
Karina van SchaardenburgMay 16, 2014The pineapple fried rice with tofu was delicious and MUCH less greasy than fried rice normally is.
ju juNovember 2, 2016Cool decor. Hipster obnoxious waiter. Pretentious crowd. Honest food. Ok prices:
Burger is great, only at dinner though. At brunch, go for the egg sandwich. You'll have to put up with the slow service and attitude. Try to sit outside in the sun.
Allison EspositoMay 24, 2014The pineapple fried rice is to die for. Dreaming of having it again soon.
The curry options are just-exotic-enough for an awesome weeknight meal.
- The upstairs is nice but what you want to do is go downstairs (from the outside).
Susan LohJuly 29, 2014Hobo noodles are a solid choice if you want something with a slight kick to it.
KirsyApril 22, 2012Cheap brunch (bring Amex card) Hobo noodles-overly seasoned. Do not order Strawberry & Banana pancakes-bleh! Waitress got order wrong but she was nice. Cappuccino is really good.
Léna Le RollandNovember 1, 2014I LOVE the fried chicken, but I don't like the chicken satay. Super noisy... Be ready to wait.
dsinskyJune 15, 2014The wonderful combination of Thai food and a speakeasy overcomes the good, but not great, food.
Sabrina MajeedSeptember 10, 2017Very affordable, big portions, but TBH pretty overrated Thai food. Not spicy at all.
Laura D.September 14, 2011i've only ever ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken...but the pimm's cup cocktail is pretty good, too.
ToryBurchMay 5, 2011We're so happy our favorite low-key Thai spot reopened. Order the spicy shredded papaya salad.
Erika SJuly 7, 2011Highly recommended but yikes, lunch took forever. Starters delivered with entrees and nothing hot. Fried ginger chicken dry but green curry delicious.
If you don't get the green curry salmon you don't know what you are doing.
Nicolò TrentiniNovember 5, 2012Food is a little bit spicy but it's great. Miso soup is really great. Service is fine.
