Great Thai restaurant!

by shelovestoeat at Citysearch

The service is nice, the food is great, the place is very cool. Why just four stars? Well the dumplings were just OK but well priced and the Calamari salad that was recommended wasn't all that great and kinda small. But the red coconut curry was tasty and so was the fish with green beans (yum) and big enough portions. Thankfully we all shared.

It's not very close to a subway stop so some walking is involved. The area is fabulous - great for hanging out with friends and socializing while you are there.

  • Pros: food, service, location
  • Cons: not very close to subway stop

Excellent Food, Good Price, and Great Service

by roronyc at Citysearch

I found this Thai restaurant by an accident as I strolled along one day. And to my luck, I scrolled in during their LUNCH SPECIAL.

The price was great and not to mention the food was delicious. I know PEEP also has great lunch specials but the food is mediocre. This place is more authentic and I love the service there.

It's a great place to go if you like great Thai Food.

  • Pros: I have ordered everything on the menu and everything tastes superb!
  • Cons: Small place but great for small parties!

great restaurant

by rajnianne at Citysearch

the thai here is consistently good (i've been a customer for several years now). i've yet to find another thai place i like more. i usually get one of the curries with tofu, but i've also tried the fish, shrimp, and noodles and never been disappointed. and a singha goes well with all of it! i too can't figure out why this place is always empty! but, better for me, because i never have to wait for a table!

  • Pros: good prices, good food, cute decor, good service
  • Cons: can't think of any!

Whatever I've tried, I've liked a LOT

by redmiele at Citysearch

I always thought the name of this place was cute, and finally went in to try the Thom Ka (?) Coconut soup, and Thai Papaya salad (Som Tum), which are some of the standards I judge a restaurant by :) They were really delicious, though I like my papaya salad to have a little kick, and theirs is not spicy at all. I tried the Panang Curry tonight and it was delicious, so I definitely reccomend them - Though I have not tried EVERYTHING on the menu, by far, they just seem really good so far! Enjoy.
