It was dinner to meet my boyfriends family and we all had a great time. I've been there a few times in the past and I always leave happy and satisfied. The service last night was kind and attentive and the food delicious and got to the table on a smooth pace. Thank you so much for all the attentions and the complimentary dessert!

We booked a Saturday reservation and were seated immediately which was nice. We ordered the dumplings, Branzino and Pas Thai. The dumplings came with truffles on top and were excellent. The sauce could have been a bit more exotic than just the soy sauce and vinegar for a Thai place. the Pad Thai has very good taste with very tender shrimps. The fried Branzino was great with spicy mixture with hot pepper, papaya and other flavors. At $45 maybe it was a bit pricey. Service was great with right amount of taking empty dishes away and asking how the food was. Overall vibe was great because the tight space and antique look of the dining room. The decor is not fancy but has a certain style of its own. We also ordered a Thai iced tea and a beer which were tasty as well. Next time I will try curry dishes and Tom Yom Soup.

All the dishes were delicious and the tasting menu is a good value for what you get! Plus FREE music from really talented musicians while you’re eating, and a nice drinks list (just wine-based cocktails, but they’re good!) I would definitely go back!
