Mike WinstonMarch 6, 2014This off the beaten path Thai restaurant consistently serves excellent food in massive portions. Don't miss the Crispy Fish or Red Curry Duck. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more
Ms HeleneJuly 3, 2015Spicy tuna roll lacks spice but tender yellowtail scallion roll was good, as was the miso soup with enoki and tofu for only $2. Special 50% off traditional rolls now!
- Mike WinstonSeptember 12, 2012Loved the Laksa Noodle Soup with Seafood. It has a very generous portion of seafood that included shrimp and scallops and a very flavorful, complex, spicy broth.
Dan LamMarch 18, 2015Wonderful service and amazing food. Staff is very polite and the food tastes great. Recommend their fried rice dishes and curries.
Try the laksa curry noodle soup with udon and shrimp. It has a little kick of spiciness. Good amount of seafood and fresh vegetables.
Harrison SomozaAugust 25, 2012I was really surprised and happy with this place. My green curry was flavorful, the vegetables were fresh, and there was about a pound of duck in it. And $2 beers till 9.
Lots of vegetarian meat substitutes. Now has sushi as well. 50% off classic rolls from 6-9 Tue-Sun. BYOB.
Rob PextonJuly 8, 2012Friendly service, the menu is cheap, and the food is not half bad! I find myself eating here all the time before my shift next door at EasternBloc. A great addition to the neighborhood.
Ian StorrarMay 10, 2012The miso ramen is great. I got that yesterday and some amazing veggie spring rolls. Back today for spicy drunken noodles with tofu.
Jenny-Lind AJanuary 9, 2013Scoutmob directed me here - another success. Pretty delicious soups like coconut with lemongrass. yummy.
They should have spring rolls and cocktails! Perfect club!
Spencer FryMarch 17, 2013Just your standard Thai restaurant. Nothing special, but everything tastes fairly good although slightly bland.
East Village EatsJune 21, 2012Avoid the avocado crab cakes. Not much crab in there at all. The sauce is good though.
