It falls a little short of authentic because the spice level is dumbed down a great deal for gringo palates that can't handle the heat (like mine!), and there's less use of fish sauce than the real McCoy -- but for what it is, it's not bad at all. We ordered the curry puffs, spicy noodles and pad see ew for delivery. It took 1/2 an hour for the food to arrive in the pouring rain and the delivery person was cheerful, friendly, and nice despite being soaking wet. I consider this pretty good! It's not the best you'll find in NYC, but for the place and price, it's hard to beat. Next time, we're going to be a little more adventurous in our ordering. There's some fusiony stuff on the menu that look pretty tasty (fried ginger cornmeal-breaded catfish). Now if only they'd offer pho, too.....
Pros: Friendly, speedy, tasty
Cons: more fusion than auth, entic
