Amazing place with delicious food!
Atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming.
It’s a hidden gem in the heart of Manhattan.
Perfect for dates and casual dinners too.
Me and my boyfriend took Red Chicken Curry and Tom Kha soup with shrimps.
My soup was very flavourful!
Highly recommend!

P.S.: prices are pretty affordable for such place! Hurry up before they go up 🙂

Beautiful and spacious dining area + friendly staff. However, if you are looking for the authentic Thai cuisines, this is not the place for you. We order papaya salad, pad kee mao, and green curry rice… All of them are VERY sweet and heavy. Additionally, they are not using the correct ingredients for these meals 🥲 we didn’t feel well after the meal.

I had the curry here and it was great. This place is a good price for solid food. I like the inside and it’s never super crowded. The staff is always really friendly and nice and the inside is pretty!

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in the area (Manhattan and Jersey City). Their Pad Thai was the kind that we liked, light brown color and only slightly sweet. Both the noodles and shrimp were perfectly cooked. We also tried Pla Kra Prow (fish filet with basil). Fish filets were crispy and flavorful, though too salty for us.

Their wine/beer list was short but inexpensively priced. A pint of beer for $8 and a glass of wine for $10.

Service was friendly.

Terrific Thai food in the financial district close to Fulton Market & the Seaport. We tried the Hand Folded veggie dumplings, which were excellent. The Pad Sieew (rice noodles with shrimp) was quite good, although on the sweeter side. The deep fried calamari was as well very good. Finally, the morning glory was extremely good. The restaurant was fairly busy but the food came out pretty quickly. The air con was on full blast, so we were freezing until we had it turned off. Overall, highly recommended for Thai food in FiDi.
