4.0
I have been coming to this place for over a year with my brother, and the overall experience has been fantastic. Authentic Thai food, kind service, and a relaxed spot to chill. The place is small yet cozy, though it might be convenient to consider take out ordering.I have personally lived in Thailand myself, and the flavors here are comparable to many of the outstanding food markets I had the chance to stop by (some of them holding the famous Michelin star).We found fascinating that every dish in the menu has something to offer, but in my humble opinion, you will never go wrong with their Khao Soi Gai (you need to enjoy spicy flavors too). A true hidden gem in Brooklyn, and one of our favorite restaurants in town. - Dr. Richie
