AUSTINJanuary 4, 2015Get the strawberry & banana pancakes during brunch and the matcha green tea latte 🍵
Brendan LewisAugust 23, 2014The pineapple cashew with tofu is so good you'll forget you didn't order it with chicken
Beer margarita is delicious! Lime juice, ice, salted rim glass and a beer of your choosing.
Always insanely quick with take out orders, even when it seems like they're packed. Really nice staff, too!
Maddie GruderJuly 29, 2011The Ginger chicken is so delicious and tender! Accompanied by the julienned vegetable salad and an iced Thai tea...better than words can describe!
Claudia FilthMarch 19, 2016Don't wait in line for a seat at the restaurant, head downstairs to their cellar bar!
Basement floor bar/restaurant is better than the 1st floor but there's no wifi/cell service down there.
Karina van SchaardenburgMay 16, 2014The pineapple fried rice with tofu was delicious and MUCH less greasy than fried rice normally is.
Cristina F-MMarch 22, 2010get me the ginger fried chicken and the green curry and I am in heaven. pad thai and papaya salad (watch out, it's native spicy) are great too. actually everything is awesome.

Patrick BaskinSeptember 15, 2015Surprisingly great spot! Fried Rice is great and the egg sandwich is solid
Hannah StrausOctober 21, 2014Pad see ew, curry (any of them), and surprisingly the burger (it's a special) 👍
Burger is great, only at dinner though. At brunch, go for the egg sandwich. You'll have to put up with the slow service and attitude. Try to sit outside in the sun.
ju juNovember 2, 2016Cool decor. Hipster obnoxious waiter. Pretentious crowd. Honest food. Ok prices:
Susan LohJuly 29, 2014Hobo noodles are a solid choice if you want something with a slight kick to it.
One my my favorite restaurants in nyc for many reasons mostly beyond the food.
Léna Le RollandNovember 1, 2014I LOVE the fried chicken, but I don't like the chicken satay. Super noisy... Be ready to wait.
Francesca KrihelyMay 14, 2012The coconut curry soup is a good pick--not spicy or authentic but tasty. If thats not your steaz go for the hobo noodle.
Amy CaoJanuary 20, 2012Try the Ginger Fried Chicken - So good, it's hard to order anything else... which is why I don't :)
If you don't get the green curry salmon you don't know what you are doing.
Erika SJuly 7, 2011Highly recommended but yikes, lunch took forever. Starters delivered with entrees and nothing hot. Fried ginger chicken dry but green curry delicious.
Laura D.September 14, 2011i've only ever ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken...but the pimm's cup cocktail is pretty good, too.
Sabrina MajeedSeptember 10, 2017Very affordable, big portions, but TBH pretty overrated Thai food. Not spicy at all.
dsinskyJune 15, 2014The wonderful combination of Thai food and a speakeasy overcomes the good, but not great, food.
Alexis AndersonApril 28, 2011Seaweed salad is delicious, as is the spicy Hobo Noodles with shrimp. The service, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired.
The upstairs is nice but what you want to do is go downstairs (from the outside).
kat popielDecember 11, 2009Try the ginger fried chicken with the crazy sumptuous soy sauce mayo. Pair it with brown rice and the market green salad so you don't feel too guilty.
ToryBurchMay 5, 2011We're so happy our favorite low-key Thai spot reopened. Order the spicy shredded papaya salad.
Nicolò TrentiniNovember 5, 2012Food is a little bit spicy but it's great. Miso soup is really great. Service is fine.
The curry options are just-exotic-enough for an awesome weeknight meal.
Allison EspositoMay 24, 2014The pineapple fried rice is to die for. Dreaming of having it again soon.
