    Purple blossom dumplings are art! Melt in your mouth braised beef massaman curry! So delicious. Meet is so tender.

    The traditional curries are done right. The green is fairly spicey while the red is sweeter and creamier. Legit Thai eats tho at a New York premium.

    Pink grapefruit martini is highly recommended. Bartender is very lovely and skillful. The price of food a bit higher but the quality &taste of food is great! Don't think they put MSG by the taste.

    I love this place! Great atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. Not "sceney" like I worried it might be. A rare quality restaurant in this neighborhood.

    Love the Nuaa Bellini- raspberry chambord and anime prosecco. Sweet and delicious. Also try the Ka Ree Pup app- baked curry puff with cucumber relish.

    Friendly service. Decent curries. Considering the price, everything could be a little bit better. Not bad but I wouldn't recommend it.

    This bartender was a complete ASSHOLE. Told our table we were being loud and then told my friend that she was fat. What the FUCK. We left immediately and will not be returning
