★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I picked this place for late lunch because I wanted to eat tom yum noodle soup that not so many Thai restaurants offer. It was great. Shrimp, squid and fish balls were in it. Noodle seems a little less but it was a perfect portion for me. Then I tried sticky rice mango. Why not? They were cutting mangoes at front side of the restaurant and looks so delicious. And it was delicious! It’s a little pricey but I guess it’s NYC, so it’s ok…But highly recommended!
August 03 · Rumi ArakawaWe’re so glad that while wandering through Chelsea Market looking for a place to eat, we ended up here. The atmosphere was cozy and unexpectedly calm, which felt like a little escape from the usual market bustle. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind — it felt like they really cared about the experience. The Thai food was flavorful and beautifully presented, with balanced spices and fresh ingredients. And the Mango Sticky Rice absolutely perfect and the best we’ve had in a long time. Great value for the quality. Would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
May 11 · Vitalijus ZuikauskasLook at how much meat they serve you for Pad Kra Pao!! 5 star for generous value.We like they have 2 “outdoor” tables in the hallway so we can sit with our pooch Charcoal.The papaya salad is refreshing, just what we needed in a hot summer day. The mango sticky rice is easy one of the best. You can literally see the staff cutting fresh mangos on spot 🥭
September 03 · ShuangerI've had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant well over 10 times, and I can confidently say that each visit somehow exceeds the last. The food here is nothing short of amazing, with each dish bursting with flavor and crafted with care. What stands out just as much as their exceptional cuisine is the attentiveness and warmth of the staff. They truly pay attention to every detail, ensuring that your dining experience is memorable from the moment you step in. Whether you're a first-time guest or a regular like me, you're treated with the same outstanding service and hospitality. If you're looking for a dining experience that consistently impresses across the board, this is the place to be.
