Basically random pick something in their menu and that would not be a bad choice. Suggest the catfish and pho.

Way too sweet. Might be good Thai for New York, but for a guy from Sydney who knows his way around holy basil this was not my cup of tea and really made me miss home.

Do NOT order delivery from here. Multiple times my order was "forgotten". They don't pick up the phone so you can't even figure out what has happened. Completely crap management. Figure your shit out.
