In Short
NYU students have taken to this budget-friendly spot like it was a student union stand-in. Long communal tables are perfect for the sociable set while daters can slip into a two-top. Wood-slatted walls, tropical greenery and a presiding Buddha make up a stylish backdrop for the Eastern-inspired cuisine, from Japanese soba salad to Malaysian massaman curry to Laotian-style chicken. Desserts, such as chocolate mousse and creme brulee, are straight out of the West.

Terrible customer service; the waiter kept rolling his eyes at us, I lost count how many times. They got two of my friends' drink orders wrong, and were hesitant to fix them. The food wasn't special, I've had better Asian cuisine elsewhere. The portions were small too. When we asked for the check, the waiters just continued standing around talking, we had to ask another waiter. When we asked to get our remaining food wrapped to go, they put all of our dishes in one bag, even though it was clear that none of us lived together, and when we asked for separate bags, we were greeted again with our waiter's signature eye-rolling. If you're looking for a decent place, or even a mediocre one, don't bother going here. It's a waste of time.

Great menu, I would recommend every dish. I have been here at least 10 times and the service is great, really quick. Great drinks and cool atmosphere! Good date spot or group spot or even going alone and sitting at the window! Only annoying thing is sitting at the middle two tables which have bench seating...and its difficult to get in and out. REALLY ANNOYING. That would usually only be if you are with a large group though.

Picked this place out for a friend's birthday. Dining in a large group, you want to be able to accommodate everyone's tastes and their wallets at the same time. This place definitely does both. The drinks are made very well. The seating is almost picnic-table-style which really works well for groups. The food was definitely worth more than you pay for. I highly recommend the Flounder. The service was very decent and accommodating. All our dishes came at the same time and came out piping hot. We even showed up very late for our reservation and were luckily still seated very promptly! I'd definitely come back here for another try since their menu is so huge.
