    Loved the food. Had the Maine Lobster Summer Rolls for our app. The dipping sauce was really good. And we shared the Grilled Bronzino- the sauce was amazing. Really special dish and you get a lot of fish. And my favorite was the coconut rice. Melts in your mouth. For dessert they gave us Ube Flan in the house. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The servers are great, we sat right down with our rsvp, and I enjoyed the darker atmosphere as it beings a downtown vibe to Columbus Circle. I’m going back!

    Heard about this place opening up and after browsing through Yelp and seeing all the pictures I decided to go celebrate my birthday here. I was so surprised by how good the food was. We had ordered so many things to try and they all were deliciousss! It seems that they make everything from scratch from hot pot soup and sauces which is undeniably impressive. The only complaint is that the portions are a bit small compared to the price. Inside the restaurant is decorated as Thai cozy dining room style with Thai stuff and Thai movies posters featuring Japanese decor. This place is owned and run by Thai people so the service fits my style perfectly lol. I have been back here twice in one month and I don’t live in the city. So this confirms how much I love this place lol ! I would totally encourage and recommend everyone to come visit. Tips: Crying tiger is a must try ! If you like to eat beef. Salmon clay pot is great if you like fish. Paying with cash gets some discount (if they still offer.) P.S. The pictures are from two visits. :)
