Outstanding! We brought a group of 20 people and everyone was super impressed by all the flavorful dishes. The rock fish just caught the day before was really special. Pad Thai with big, juicy, very fresh shrimp was the best I’ve had anywhere. Loved the soup with tender meat and Thai lemon leaves. Homemade coconut ice cream was a perfect ending, not to sweet, just perfect. JuMi the owner is delightful. She shared some background and regional aspects of each dish, which made it a more meaningful experience. I have a new favorite Thai restaurant!

I love the traditional Lao/Thai fare with a modern twist! All of the food was delicious, beautifully-plated, and brought back wonderful memories! Service was quick and friendly. I love that even though they are Michelin-starred that they don’t exaggerate the prices.

The rock fish ($45), fried bananas, and peppercorn chicken noodles were good. Overall, this place is good but for me feels overpriced as it is nothing special. Not all that authentic (papaya salad not authentic and was not changed for a better taste). Not worth $18 at all imo.

I love Thai food and my friends wanted to try this much-raved about eatery. We got the Avocado Spring Rolls, Thai Peppercorn Chicken Noodles, Shrimp Pad Thai and Isaan Spicy Beef Soup. We shared all the dishes.

This is my go to local spot for Thai or a drink. I’ve tried just about everything on the menu and my top two plates are, the local fried rockfish, which has a superbly flavored sauce and herbs and then I would have to say the Lao beef salad then the beef tallow fried rice.

Make sure you get reservations, you can do it in the yelp app. It was incredible that there were only two servers in the whole restaurant, they handled it like champs. It was slow to get the orders in but great food comes to those that wait. The Pad Thai was incredible, the shrimp were full of flavor and the noodles were perfectly cooked and not too sweet. The Hat Yai fried chicken was just absolutely smashing, I won’t try to quantify it but it’s a must have if you go.

Overall a good experience. We sat down at 6p (1800 if you wear camo) for dinner and i think we were the only people in the restaurant. Weird for a michelin plate/bib gourmand adjacent. Lots of things to order so I stuck with what I call the ‘everything bowl’ with noodles, duck, mustard greens, veggies, and fried bits. My colleague got the dried beef curry and sticky rice. Both were good. Mild here means mild so that’s good if youre a member of the chili intolerant. I’m used to mild being secretly hot–should’ve just ordered it medium or hot lol.

My favorite restaurant so far. New York Steak and Chicken Satay Slider are highly recommended. The crew is amazing, Ray is a great manager!

We loved the Lao Style Ribs ($26), the meat was succulent, fall of the bones tender and very flavorful. The NY steak Beef Tallow Fried Rice ($27) was so so. The beef was tender but I did not care for the taste. It should taste like beef steak, but it didn’t. Hat Yai Fried Chicken ($19) was good with the right crunchy skin and moist meat without being oily though the dipping sauce was too sweet for me.

Malaysian and Laotian style and inspired dishes! Dinner service was fast. The appetizer wraps with peanut and sweet sauce was a huge hit. Great textures and flavors. Thai ice tea was great. Vegetatian option for the curry noodles was delicious and complex. Chicken satay is a must. Coconut desert was unique and amazing! Spice levels are naturally high so be sure to keep it mild to medium unless you really handle your heat.
