    Delicious Thai

    We had the panang curry with chicken and the eggplant veggies, both medium spice. The eggplant dish had less eggplant but more other veggies than we anticipated but was delicious. I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could. Only criticism (and it is minor) is...More

    Better than in Brooklyn

    Hi and Low points: bistro-like Thai resturant

    As in France, the restaurant packs good food and ambiance, and it appears that they want you to spend a bit of time here. The waiters are very busy and somewhat slow to reach you, or notice you. Although our table was treated in a...More

    Amazing lunch!

    Great Thai food. The Panang Curry was delicious. We stopped on a whim and were very satisfied. We normally check trip advisor first but this time we checked after and all the reviews were good. Strongly recommend this place.

    Good food and service.

    Enjoyed the food which was well presented and tasty. I recommend the tamarind fish, not too highly spiced and served with a mix of vegetables. Well worth a visit.
