ShakinaJanuary 24, 2016I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. I enjoyed everything from beginning to end.
Jay SAugust 26, 2014$8 lunch special from noon to 4 daily. Fried dumplings and pho always a solid choice
They can make you a no-meat veggie pho (substituting beef with veggies and tofu)
Bailey CarlsonNovember 6, 2013OMG.... The coconut rice.... IS RIDICULOUS! You might see the eyes of God, if you're into that kinda thing.
Lindsey jelligApril 11, 2016Get the bamboo infused vodka on the rocks... Effects last even longer ;)
You wouldn't guess it from the outside, but this place has a surprisingly nice atmosphere
Marie La RueSeptember 15, 2019Decent food but not my favourite Thai in Hell’s Kitchen. Noodle dishes were kind of heavy. Enjoyed the veggie dumplings. Beautiful decor.
Great food, cool decor, terrible service. Took them 10 mins to collect our two cards and another 15 mins to process them.
Ernesto GutierrezSeptember 29, 2016The place is over hyped. Ordered their Michelin rated appetizer and entree, tasty but not something to write home about.
My Deputy Mayor would say "Pork Bellllllllly." It's #delicious
Andrea ZvinakisSeptember 27, 2017Everything we ordered was way too sweet and lacked other flavor. Even the duck curry had added pineapple and lychees (???). Won't be returning.
Stephanie HOctober 19, 2015Ambiance is lovely and bright but not sure what's with the hostess' attitude. My sitting at a table rather than bar has nothing to do with us only being allowed to pay via cash. #bitch
Rewan PartiOctober 13, 2015There delivery service with seamless is very unreliable! Please only dine in.
Mohammedali GangardiwalaJanuary 18, 2016The food quality and taste was good. Portion sizes look to be small, maybe it was because of the "lunch" time.- Dress for the DateOctober 8, 2013Blending Thai and Vietnamese, OBAO bridges the gap between the streets of Southeast Asia and the streets of NYC into "Modern Thai." Try the Grilled Japanese Eggplant, Fresh Shrimp Rolls & Pad Thai.
