★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Lovely experience! Came here twice, both amazing experiences. The waitress is incredibly kind and helpful ◡̈Pad Cashew is fresh and sweet, thai iced tea is also amazing, I recommend getting slightly less sweet as it is on the sweeter side.Decor is lovely and so homey.Lovely establishment in LIC, looking forward to coming back 💗Kap Khun Ka!!
June 22 · Ariana KhanLove our experience today. Staff were very courteous and friendly. Food was awesome especially the lavender coconut. And the place is so pretty! A perfect spot for date night, brunch or even hang out.
August 31 · Nami WallflowersIf you’re craving authentic Thai food, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! The flavors are vibrant and perfectly balanced — from the spicy kick of the curries to the fresh, fragrant herbs. Every dish we tried was bursting with bold, delicious taste, clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable.
July 10 · Marcela RinconDid takeout, but when I went to pick it up the place was super cute! The service was also fast and everything was packaged well. Now on to the food, we got the pad Thai with tofu, one of the fried rices, and mango sticky rice. Everything was SO delicious!!! Good portions and still hot after I brought it home. Honestly dare I say the best most flavorful pad Thai I’ve ever had (even the tofu was flavorful and cooked perfectly) and the best mango sticky rice I’ve ever had. It came with these crunchy toppings that added a nice texture. My partner liked the rice he got. Prices are very reasonable too. Will be back!
July 22 · Karin IsraelI ate here by myself and got the Pad See Ew with chicken and a Butterfly to drink. The food was so good. I cleaned my plate. The drink was super tasty too, and everything looked really cute and well put together. The service was amazing, and I felt really comfortable eating solo. The inside is gorgeous and has a super girly, fun vibe that I loved. Everything from the decor to the food just felt really intentional and pretty. I’ll definitely be coming back. 10/10, highly recommend!
