Modern Thai Cuisine & Craft Cocktails located in East Village
Welcome to “RYNN” Thai, where "รินน์" (to “pour”) represents more than just our name — it's our promise to pour memories, flavors, and joy into every dish and glass we serve.
In the heart of East Village, we craft modern interpretations of beloved Thai recipes alongside innovative cocktails, each telling a story of tradition meeting creativity. Every plate is an invitation to experience Thailand's vibrant culinary heritage through a contemporary lens.
I like the food and the atmosphere. Food is a good portion and taste amazing. I especially love the curry crab entree. The atmosphere is relaxing and cozy and there is little vases of flowers on each table. The prices of the dishes are around $20-$30 and the bathroom is clean.
Cute space with amazing Thai food in East Village! They have both classic Thai food (pad thai, crab fried rice) and more unique menu items like the crab omelette or spicy strawberry salad. Personal favorite was the crab omelette and banana roti we had for dessert. Lunch also included a complimentary soup and cucumber salad. Fun drinks and attentive service. Definitely ranks high on my list of Thai places in NYC!
This was our first visit to Rynn & we ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. All of the food & drinks were excellent, our favorites were the La Tiang (shrimp & pork wrapped in egg net), braised pork belly which is slow roasted for 5 hours, the honey butter chip old fashioned, Kopitiam (coconut toasted espresso martini), and the coconut ice cream special. So many rich & varied flavors & textures, inventive & well-executed drinks, reasonable prices, and super friendly service — this will undoubtedly be the first of many future visits.

I was taken here last night for a cute, COZY, Birthday but unfortunately the cozy part was missed. We made a reservation but ran late, fortunately we were able to call ahead and let them know. They kindly were able to still accommodate us. We went with the Restaurant Week Menu, which had absolutely delicious options. It made it hard to decide what to get in between myself and my date. The Con to Rynn was how COLD it was for such a small location. I honestly felt bad for the servers who literally were blowing on their hands and holding them in their sleeves. Diners around us were not able to remove their jackets and head coverings even though one of the heaters was reading "86°" We were seated at the first table nearest to the entrance, which is directly across from the kitchen, but by the time the food reached the table, everything would be cold, with the exception of the Chicken wings, because they are deep fried. The worst part was walking into the bathroom and that space was COLDER than the rest of the restaurant. Flavors were definitely there, we could taste the potential of how good it would've been, had it come nice and warm. I would still be willing to try to the rest of the menu, maybe in the summertime when i don't have to worry about any coverings.
This cozy restaurant is perfect for a relaxed evening out. The cocktails were flavorful, though a bit too sweet for my palate. The dishes were wonderfully unique, each offering an amazing twist in flavor. We tried the Kanom Jeeb, Mushroom Croquettes, Tum Strawberry Salad, and Nua Yang Jaew. My favorite was the Mushroom Croquettes, followed closely by the Tum Strawberry Salad, which stood out with its unique combination of sweetness and subtle spice. I’m definitely planning to return to explore more of their menu!
My friends and i sat at the bar for some drinks before dinner. Excellent service and absolutely delicious cocktails. Would recommend the Not a Mango Season and 143 (very refreshing choices), A glass of grass and Royal Sky (adventurous and Asian flavors), and will definitely come back. Great atmosphere and friendly servers.
The perfect spot to enjoy authentic Thai food and crafted cocktails. Their dishes are the perfect blend of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors of traditional Thai with a modern twist.
MUST-TRY HIGHLIGHTS
Stop everything and try their iconic PU KAREE! It’s crispy soft-shell crabs in a flavorful turmeric curry sauce. The plating totally elevated it to an exquisite dish! We love their PANANG PED as well. Juicy duck meat in Panang curry served with crispy Roti. It’s a multi-textural delight in a dish!
Don't sleep on the dessert. This Thai créme brulée is something I've never had before! If you love Thai tea and Créme Brûlée, then this is a MUST-TRY!
Everything we had was incredibly delicious! Presentations look amazing and totally Instagram-worthy! Adding this to my favorite Thai restaurant's list!
Absolutely loved my meal at Rynn! Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and tasted incredibly fresh. The balance of spices and textures was spot on, making it one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in a long time. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
Wow!! Absolutely incredible. So worth it. Delicious food. Amazing friendly service.
Fantastic food! Great service would 10/10 recommend
Every dish was delicious! Can’t wait to return
Great Food and Service. Sweet Space.
What a gem! Shared the dumplings, ribeye stir fry and the soft shell crab curry. All perfect. Will be back for sure.
The Panang duck with the roti was fantastic, as was every other dish they served. Our waitress Doraya was super friendly too!
Cute spot, delicious food, friendly service!
Good food
Good drinks
Good laughs 💞💞✨
Great all around dining experience! Would recommend and will be back.

Good
Food was delicious and service was great — would come back!
I was headed in from Pa and wanted to treat myself to lunch and with Thai, can you ever really go wrong?
This spot is now going to be one of my go tos. It’s a small space but very nicely decorated.
The fried Calamari was so good. For my main I had the soft shell crab curry which comes with a side of rice. I couldn't be more happy with my decision. Prior to the main meal I was provided a cucumber salad and soup, both of which were nice.
The drinks- the mango, loved it. The second drink- I can’t put my finger on- didn’t love it but I have nothing bad to say
Overall the service is amazing, friendly and quick!
Love this place.
i’ve been coming here since it first opened! it’s my favorite place to eat by myself with a good book & enjoy the best massaman curry & thai tea i’ve ever had. i’m a student so the few times i’m able to take myself out for a special occasion it’s here :)
Easily the best Thai food I’ve had in NYC. Every dish was fantastic - I had the spicy strawberry salad which was refreshing with a quick, and them STELLAR Ribeye. I’ll be back!
The Wontons 🤤
This place has a very nice, welcoming atmosphere. Good for conversation and an overall pleasing experience.
My gf and I came during lunch on a Friday and we were surprised it was empty after tasting the food and drinks!
The bartender was extra friendly and explained to us what each dish and drink had in it as well as the inspiration behind them.
Very unique flavors in their dishes and even more unique flavors in drinks.
I rarely write reviews, but this place I would highly recommend. A must go for everyone and a must come back for us! :)
Food was good for restaurant week. Recommend the wings, crab or ribeye. Coconut ice cream was solid.
The food was so yummy and service was amazing! One of my favorite Thai spots, will come again !!
Doesn't allow 0 stars, hence rating 1. We had a reservation, but waited for 45 mins and still didn't get a table. Absolutely racist. Clearly, they differentiate how they treat customers based on the color of the skin. Staff are extremely incourteous. After a 45 min wait for a table, they kept lying about the situation. First they asked us to come later, then they said they were running late, then that other customers werent leaving, and then that other people also had reservations at the same time, clearly.none of which could have been our fault. We had to leave finally, because they couldn't give us a table, but later they called to confirm that we had canceled our reservation, without the least bit of acknowledgement of terrible behavior and mismanagement on their part. Would never go back and would never recommend anyone to go there.
Where is the 0 star button? We had a 8:30 reservation and we did not get a table even at 8:50. When we tried to ask the hostess she asked us to wait outside in the cold ( please note that there were other people, other non brown people if I may add, who were waiting inside the restaurant and were not asked to wait outside.). We had got the restaurant name from NYC restaurant week website, however, they told us that they do not do restaurant week menu on Saturdays!!! When we asked if they can show us where it is written, they mentioned it does not show on the phone, but shows on the desktop ( such a bizarre logic!). They kept lying that the table will be ready in a moment. The hostess was almost happy to cancel our reservation. Took zero responsibility, rude behaviour and downright horrible experience.
0 stars for this place if I could! Kept us waiting in the cold for over 30 mins when we had a reservation - blatantly lied about how long it would take to seat us. Terrible service. Also had misrepresented that they were
participating in restaurant week to get more reservations but once we came in told us they were not participating. Avoid at all costs.
Great place great food
11/10 experience all around, the food was wonderful and it was packed full of flavor. We had the fried wings, steak, and thai tea crème brûlée after a long day, and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere, kind service staff, and excellent cooks just nailed it all.
I had a great experience at this restaurant!
La Tiang - Egg Net: The presentation was eye-catching, and the dish had a great balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. It was definitely a standout for creativity.
Mushroom Croquettes: Rich and creamy with a strong mushroom flavor, and the curry sauce added just the right amount of heat.
Crispy Soft-Shell Crabs with Turmeric Crabmeat Curry: This dish had a smoky, flavorful taste, and it paired well with the side of rice.
Pu Karee - Grilled Ribeye Steak Northeastern Style: Cooked medium to medium-well, the steak was flavorful but a bit chewy. The sauce had a nice kick, but the dish felt like it could benefit from an extra side, maybe a palate cleanser or rice, to round it out.
Thai Cream Brûlée: A rich dessert with strong tea notes, followed by citrus and caramelized sugar—definitely a treat for those who like bold flavors.
Coconut Ice Cream: This dessert was a pleasant surprise, with a mix of peanuts, sticky rice, and coconut jelly that made it refreshing and unique.
Overall, the restaurant offers a creative and flavorful dining experience. The dishes are well thought out, and though a couple could use slight tweaks, I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for something a bit different!
Amazing service! Good spot to enjoy food and drinks in East Village :)
Great pad Thai with shrimp. They were cooked perfectly and lovely presentation.
Delicious food and excellent service
Amazing!
Perfect lunch service!
Delicious food and great service!
Jaraiah was very friendly very nice and gave us an amazing customer service experience. The food was amazing and very delicious. Love to try new foods! Thank you!!
The best waitress in the world
This was my first time trying Thai food and it didn't disappoint. I came for my wife's birthday because she loves Thai food and she said this place was cute and that the food was good. It's a nice place to get a good bite to eat. My wife got the pork pad see ew and I got the cashew chicken and now we want more.

what a gem. i want to gatekeep this place sooo bad. the food, the drinks, and service are immaculate all across the board. i just know that one day this place is going to be SO packed and hard to get a reso.
the grass jelly drink was to DIE FOR. and the Ka Prao is mind blowingly good and u can’t find the same and as authentic Nam ya Pu anywhere else in NYC.
MUST TRY!!!!

Wonderful service & delicious food every time!
Came here on a Saturday night for their last reservation time and they were very nice and accommodating when we were running late. Food was great- we got the pad see ew and duck panang. We also enjoyed our cocktails- sesame old fashioned and tamarind drop! Staff is incredibly nice. Excited to try out the rest of the menu and drinks.
Panang Curry was great! Nice atmosphere with a good bar and very respectful waiters too.
The perfect spot to enjoy authentic Thai food and crafted cocktails. Their dishes are the perfect blend of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors of traditional Thai with a modern twist.

steak and fried crab are top notch; a little underwhelmed by the noodle dishes. don’t miss the spicy cucumbers!
So so so good!! Must try the crab omelette 🤤
We had a lovely time!
Great time !! Awesome food !!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Mmmmm it was so good. Best Thai in city
Amazing service, amazing food, amazing drinks. Natchayas the best!
So good! The food is amazing!!! As is the service.
Excellent food and service, solid number of gluten free options, really beautiful bar, space, and plating. Went here for a family member’s birthday and they brought out some free Thai coconut ice cream for us. Very kind staff too, can’t recommend this place enough.
This Thai restaurant in East Village is such a great find! They have a full bar with some amazing cocktails and mocktails. We tried some of their most popular main dishes and my favorite was definitely the crispy soft-shell crab. We also tried:
- La Tiang (shrimp and pork in egg net wrapped)
- Calamari (crispy fried calamari with house aioli)
- Pu Ka Ree (crispy soft-shell crabs with turmeric crabmeat curry)
- Nua Yang Jaew (grilled ribeye steak Northeastern style)
- Braised Pork Belly (5 hours slow cooked pork belly in five spices shiitake mushroom and baby bokchoy)
- Crabmeat Omelet (Thai style fluffy crabmeat omelet)
My boyfriend and I enjoyed the food! We ordered the Calamari, Khao Soi, and Pu Ka Ree. Calamari was good, softer coating than other places but we liked it. Khao Soi was spicier than we thought, but the crispy chicken was really good. I’m not a huge fan of crab, but I saw good reviews about it so I decided to get it. It was good but I’m a celery hater and I tasted a lot of celery in the curry so it was just okay. Aside from that, I liked the fried soft shell crab but we got too full from the calamari and khao soi so we weren’t able to finish the curry. I would definitely come back again to try other dishes though!
Delicious and great service!
Wonderful meal! Best Thai iced tea I’ve ever had, wowwww.
The Thai ice tea is HEAVENLY!!’
Great service, great cocktails, and tasty food
Great food and atmosphere!
Food was amazing with great spices. We also enjoyed the drinks.
Food was so good! I def recommend the wonton and the pad thai!
It was really good for our first meal in New York
My friend and I came for dinner and had happy hour cocktails (tamarind drop) and a free appetizer (yum geaw) for $32, mushroom croquettes, crab omelette and soft shell crab curry. The food/drink was absolutely delicious, and the staff was so helpful and sweet, giving us their recommendations! The portions are good, but we had some leftovers that we took to go. My favorite has to be the omelette and croquettes :). We will definitely be back with room for dessert (mango sticky rice).
Yummy thai food, amazing portions, good vibe.
Food was amazing!! Will definitely come back!
Cocktails are EXCELLENT with a lovely bartender/servers. Clarified negotini and royal sky are incredible. Food is great too!
Always great friendly service and some of the best Thai in east village! Beautiful space as well.
Rynn was absolutely delicious. It’s possibly the best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. Our server Jariya was so kind, patient and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place!
This cozy restaurant is perfect for a relaxed evening out. The cocktails were flavorful, though a bit too sweet for my palate. The dishes were wonderfully unique, each offering an amazing twist in flavor. We tried the Kanom Jeeb, Mushroom Croquettes, Tum Strawberry Salad, and Nua Yang Jaew.

Would recommend the Not a Mango Season and 143 (very refreshing choices), A glass of grass and Royal Sky (adventurous and Asian flavors), and will definitely come back. Great atmosphere and friendly servers.
Food deserved 6 stars, but I wish the portion was a little bigger - maybe I was too hungry. Spicy strawberry salad was great - refreshing, sweet, and had a kick to it. Roasted duck panang curry was awesome - duck was crispy outside and tender inside; the roti bread was so buttery and fluffy. I finished everything, even every drip of the curry. Thai iced tea was average.
The restaurant was pretty small. You have to make a reservation if going on the weekend. We had a reservation but still waited for 30 minutes before we were seated.
Happy hour was unbeatable! Weekend happy hour for $32 for 2 drinks and app was so good. The blue moon drink was delicious and the old fashioned had some great quality bourbon.
This place is a hidden gem if you’re craving Thai in the East Village. We started with calamari and the strawberry salad, which you should definitely get. For entrees, we had the crab fried rice and crab curry (both were delish!). For dessert, we tried both the Banana Roti and Thai Tea Crème Brûlée. Both were the perfect sweet treat after dinner. The interior is also super cute. Would come back again.
Amazing dining experience at this wonderful Thai restaurant & Bar in East Village. Delicious Cocktails and amazing menu choices. Take advantage of Weekend All Day Happy Hour Special $32 for 2 cocktails and appetizer.
Cute restaurant. Friendly service and really really bomb food. The plates were a bit small so come with a big group to try everything.
What we ordered? What should you get?
(1) Peek Gal - yes
(2) Tum Strawberry - hell yes
(3) Pad See Ew - can't go wrong
(4) Panang Ped - so dank but order rice
(5) Cashew Chicken - can't go wrong
(6) Grilled chicken green curry - do it
Would I go again?
Maybe. It was good don't get me wrong but coming from the bay area where thai food is in abundance I was shocked by the price & plate size. The food was so good tho
How does this place not have a huge line out of the door?? Incredible authentic Thai flavors..the best in Manhattan and better than the other hyped up Thai restaurants we have all tried. This is almost a hidden gem and want to gatekeep this spot. Cocktails and desserts are stars as well.
I was looking for Thai location in the East Village and stumbled upon Rynn Thai! I indulged in their Strawberry salad, Thai ice tea, Pad See ew, and Yum Geaw ! Everything I ate was delicious, the staff was super friendly and I’ve booked marked this spot to go back to their all day weekend happy hour!!
Beautiful place, delicious food with crafted drinks. Great service and atmosphere. Recommend!
Imaginative cocktails plus stellar food to boot. Nothing food or drink missed
Rynn is dynamite spot and super slept on. The bartender in particular impressed us with her care and attention to detail and her craft. Ask about how they make the ingredients for her carefully curated cocktail list, it is a labor of love and it shows in the quality of the drink. The food is also incredible, you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, both light and filling with perfectly balanced flavor and spice.
Not a good experience. As far as the ambience, the lighting is stark and cold, and the tables are packed together, making it uncomfortable. The crab curry arrived cold, barely had any crab, and the sauce was broken and watery. The fish soup also arrived cold, was completely devoid of any flavor, and the fish still had spines, so we spent the whole time spitting out fish bones. Overall meager, stingy portions. My first cocktail was good, balanced, but my second one, the special, was way too sweet. The shrimp ceviche was good and well-seasoned, and the rice crackers were great, but not enough to redeem a disappointing dinner. I did not mention anything because I came with a friend and did not want to ruin our dinner by complaining. I think that she felt the same.
I ordered Poo Karee which is the soft shell crab with curry - It was so delicious, the sweetness and savory of the curry is immaculate. We also got the Nua Yang jaew which is the beef steak- this was also very tender and juicy! I would say this is one of the hidden gem for Thai food. I love it so much would definitely come back lots of time!
Fantastic Thai spot. Pad See Ew, steak, and cucumbers all delicious.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere! A must visit, many times over!
Tiny, great food like really good Thai ice tea. Overly attentive, would highly recommend
Amazing food! Get the pad thai and the ribeye! Great location and ambience, very kind service! Will be coming back
Elevated Thai cuisine! The space is cool and clean. I really liked the fact that you can get traditional Thai dishes as well as a twisted version of them. The food was really tasty, and the service was very attentive. I will come back for sure!
Absolutely phenomenal. Currently my favorite Thai restaurant in NYC.
I would love to gatekeep this place but it’s such a disservice to Rynn. I want everyone to come here and support this place! The drinks are always super yummy and balanced. I have never had a terrible dish. I highly recommend the softshell crab curry!
The food was delicious. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt welcome throughout our visit. The restaurant itself is incredibly charming, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The decor is tasteful and adds to the overall experience.
Very cute place! The food as well as the service are amazing!
Highly recommend! The pad Thai was amazing. And the 143 cocktail was my favorite. Great service!
I usually thought that completely open & available resy page was just an indicator of a bed restaurant but this one finally solidified that my hypothesis is false. We first had the goong chae nam pla which is some chopped raw shrimp, almost ceviche style marinated in a papaya salad sauce on top of an endive leaf. This was a bomb in my mouth. Literally. The fusion of sweet n spicy with a hit of tanginess was perfect. It was a little too spicy for me but I fought through it. Worth it. Then we had the duck penang curry w naan. The duck was crispy n tender, but the sauce was SOOOO flavorful n punchy. Reminds me of food back home. Like OP w the flavor. Kapao ribye was perfect. The meat had bites of fat n meat. It was very seasoned. And when u need a kick of tang just eat it with the dipping sauce n several chopped onions n greens in it . The crab meat rice was pretty standard but essential to balance the other heavily flavored dishes. Had more crab meat than the average crab fried rice (also cheaper than ur avg thai crab fried rice in nyc). I forgot to order the strawberry tum for appetizers so i just had it with the dessert. It was basically papaya salad (one of the dishes in life i’m so down bad for) but with strawberries. It was dynamic and fresh. A kick from the sweet fish sauce, a dryer juicyness from the strawberry, a sweeter wetter juicyness from the kumquats and a kick of peanuts. The thai tea creme brulee was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. An evenly coat of crisp brûléed sugar, a thinner-than-your-average-cremebrulee-custard that was creamy and not too overwhelming, accompanied with slices of strawberry to balance it all out.
Overall, i’m mad. I AM ANGRY that this establishment isn’t filled with customers. I’m appalled by the amount of mid, overpriced, flavorless, trendy, fully-booked-resy restaurants that exist and survive in NYC. This restaurant deserves so much more love than they’re getting. the server was this sweet thai mom who clearly loves what she does and cares about appealing to the trendier younger crowd. the dishes finds a way to be unique but still holds down the thai characteristics very strongly.
100/10 ! After seeing this place go viral on social media, I made a decision to visit as I was curious about trying it out, and I didn't have high expectations initially, so I ordered multiple dishes just to see how they tasted. When the food arrived, as you guys can see below, I was pleasantly impressed by the appetizing appearance of the food. After trying the various dishes and drinks, I found that this Thai restaurant stood out from others in New York. The food was exceptionally delicious and had authentic Thai flavors. Every dish was well-prepared, and I highly recommend you guys to experience the flavors for yourself.
Delicious authentic Thai food in a relaxed but slightly upscale environment. Nice cocktails and wine too. We had the La-Tiang (egg-lattice wrapped ground pork appetizer) and the Pu Ka-rhee (very crispy and not greasy deep friend soft shell crab over delicious yellow curry, this particular traditional curry is whipped egg to give it a slightly fluffy texture).
The staff truly make the experience! Everyone was so kind and attentive. We went for our anniversary and they gave us a small surprise :) incredibly thoughtful!
The larb chicken wings were fantastic!! Very unique spin on a classic Thai flavor. I’m not normally a pad Thai person but it was great, and the ped yang was out of this world. The only place I’ve been able to find an authentic kai jiaw in the US, as well!
Owned by five female partners including chefs Hataichanok Pruksaprawpong and Archara Kittisatho, Rynn is a new Thai restaurant in the heart of East Village.
La Tiang is a unique appetizer is perfect for sharing. It consists of sautéed shrimp and pork wrapped in delicate egg nest, and comes with sweet and slightly spicy sauce on the side.
If you are a fan of eggs and crab meat, the Crab Omelet is the perfect dish for you. Fluffy omelet is topped with lump crab meat. Don't forget to dip it in spicy sriracha sauce for that extra flavor.
One of the fan favorites, the Pu Karee features crispy soft-shell crab with turmeric crabmeat curry. The dish comes with a side of white rice.
Another classic dish is the sauteed shrimp and calamari with wide rice noodles in roasted chili sauce. I liked the kick of spice in this dish.
We visited RYNN in East Village since we were appealed by its outstanding exterior decor. The interior is clean and bright with cozy ambiance.
We had La-Tiang, Tum Strawberry and Peek Gai appetizers. It’s overall decent, especially the La-Tiang, which was the soft wrapped egg nest and the strawberry salad was also refreshing.
We were recommended by the staff to try their Ka-Prow Ribeye. We usually wouldn’t order steak at a Thai restaurant. It was surprisingly delicious with perfect medium rare meat and appetizing basil sauce. We also had their Pu Karee and Ped Yang w Roti. Our preference was the soft shell curry with satisfying flavor and great amount of crab meat.
Tl;dr crab omelet was a bit oily for my taste but the pad see ew and dumplings were great.
Made a reservation a few hours beforehand on a Friday night, and was seated very quickly. The food came out fast and the pad see ew and dumplings tasted great. The omelet was also pretty good but too oily for my taste. Finished with mango sticky rice which is always fantastic.
I love Thai food and have tried a few Thai restaurants in New York City over recent years... My dining experience at 'Rynn' was a good one. The ambience was nice even though the restaurant is a little cramped in terms of available space, we did feel we were sitting a tad too close to those around us. The menu was interesting and I really enjoyed the food we ordered... Especially the Crispy Duck Curry (Ped Yang w Roti) and the Kee Mao Noodles. Both were quite spicy which was great for me too. Prices for NYC were pretty reasonable with 2 courses plus a drink each, (1 cocktail and 1 Singha Beer), costing US$114 with Tax (pre-tip).
Such a charming space with friendly service! I can’t recommend it enough for people who enjoy Thai food. This spot totally reintroduces core flavors of Thai cuisine in such a fresh way, it was very satisfying. Thai iced tea is a must have, along with the crab and rice noodles, and the shrimp salad. So tasty and light. I can’t wait to return and try some of the cocktails and noodle dishes. Leave room for the mango sticky rice too.
food is okay, if you’re from the bay - this thai food doesn’t hit, maybe it’s good for new york. limited vegetarian items. crowded seating in a small area that gets fairly loud.
Cute restaurant with good thai food (and some interesting variations). My favorite was the crab omelette which I feel like isn't always available. The portions are on the smaller side, but they are very good. The items listed as spicy are indeed spicy. The atmosphere is nice but the space is quite small so would only recommend coming here with max 4 people.
What a precious little restaurant! Came here with a friend to grab lunch and we are certainly coming back! Everything was delicious and clearly very meticulously prepared!
