Food was DELICIOUS. The food came out at all different times, so that was a little odd. But genuinely no notes other than that. Our entire party of 5 enjoyed their meals. Would absolutely recommend.

The food was absolutely amazing. But the place itself is small the table they offered us had barely enough space to fit our order. Was disappointed that we got this even with a prior reservation and a request for a good table

We went for dinner before a show on broadway and they were very accommodating they even charged my phone for me. The decor was cool and inviting. Food was absolutely delicious we shared the elephant ear combo to start, I had the shrimp and squid entree and my husband had the traditional pad Thai couldn’t fault the flavour combinations everything was fresh and delicious.

Food was subpar for the cost. It wast just the portion size but not well flavored. A sizzling bowl should come out sizzling not lukewarm. Nice atmosphere and staff but not good enough to balance out the quality
