★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Surprisingly great food, nice service (maybe a bit too eager to clear our plates) and great plant vibe. Not the greatest walking through a dishes station but such is life.Having lived in Thailand for a while, I’d say the food is on the authentic side of things. Very delicious and tastefully plated. Showed up at 2pm on Saturday and no line. Looks like good drinks but didn’t try.Would visit again if in the area. Decent bathrooms.
September 06 · Graham AIt was so good that we left our show at Pier 17 for it. My friend has been here multiple times and vouched for it. Chicken green curry was off the hook. Beautiful use of ginger, lemongrass and mixed vegetables. Nice spice on the green curry. If you are in the seaport area this should be your next meal.
September 12 · Matt KassanAwesome amazing taste and great ambience. A great sit down place with large variety. Red curry with Tofu is really delicious. Thai tea is also simply great!!Food portion is huge! Single serving of curry easily serves at least 3 people 😊 and it’s not pricey, definitely value for moneyRecommended for vegetarians too. A must try place for Thai food lovers in downtown
July 26 · Rahul KulkarniWent here with a large group and I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with Basil and Chicken, which was very nice. Little bit like Ga Prow which is my favourite Thai dish. Asked them to make it Thai Spicy, so it had a nice kick. They also serve bottled Chang and tons of cool cocktails. Puddings looked amazing although I didn’t get mine coz I don’t think he understood my Queen’s English 😉 a very nice spot for some good Thai food and atmosphere…
August 20 · LeePerfect experience eating here today. The atmosphere and decor is very calming and charming. The food was very delicious and I loved the massaman curry. Order the Thai ice tea too. The lunch specials are a good value for the area. The main menu has a wide variety of options and there is a full bar where you can come for drinks. I’ve been to Thailand and have tried the majority of Thai places in the city. This place is the real deal for a great food and cozy experience.
