    This place is amazing. You can't go wrong with any of their cocktails although the mojito is the best

    The food was really delicious. Probably the best pad thai I've ever eaten. Try the "first kiss" cocktail :)

    Some of the best thai in nyc do always busy. Hopefully opening of sala thai on west side alleviates waste

    Solid Thai. Massaman comes with avocado, which is a first for me. Pad Thai Woonsen can be skipped.

    The food was tasty but didn't seem natural. Had the mango avocado salad and basil fried rice. The salad dressing was too salty and the fried rice felt heavy. Just doesn't feel good after eating it.

    Very trendy spot right now (10/30/15). The Pad Thai was good but the Seafood Bouillabaisse was mediocre. Much better spots for Thai food and with no waiting lines.

    Wasn't crazy about this place - they had a lot of trouble seating us (2 people) and got both of our orders wrong. Food was good, but just not an overall pleasant experience.
