This is basically the best thai restaurant in the new rochelle, larchmont area. There is a decent amount of parking in the back and I usually don't have much trouble getting a seat here. In the six times that I've been here, the most memorable entree that I've tasted was prik Khing shrimp, spicy basil fried rice and the pad see ew.
This place will not have the best thai you'll ever have, but it's still pretty dam good. Dessert selection is a mix of "thai inspired" dishes and a chocolate lava cake (which is delicious).
This was an amazing find in the area. There was a Thai place that got taken over and the decor was redone. It went from basic to lounge chic, which really comes through during the darker hours of the day. The service is kind and swift but the real attraction is the food. This is very authentic if you ask for "Thai style" but be ready for some spice. Or you can get hot sauce and chopped chilly and add it on top.
The best thing I have had so far is the lettuce wraps. It's miles ahead of anything I have ever had anywhere else. The curries are also excellent with the perfect consistency. The last item I tried was the whole fried fish – Snapper – YUM!
I have been 3 times in 3 weeks and I think it will be a weekly visit until we've been through most of the menu.
So we stopped by SS2 on a Monday night. There was no one there. While some enjoy dining in a restaurant all themselves- I find it eerie and just flat out weird. I like to hear some hustle and bustle, incoherent conversations, bottles clanking, forks clinking on plates etc. Before even ordering our drinks, there was an overwhelming feeling of impending doom.
But that quickly dissipated. The wait staff are really nice and warm. They come to you with smiles and are never intrusive the entire meal. They check waters, ask if you need refills but do so with taste.
The decor didn't match your standard Thai restaurants with carved sandalwood decor and over the top Buddha statues. It was a restaurant with appropriate light, nice furnishings, and coordinating colors. We enjoyed it.
Now to the most important part- the grub. We ordered the Pineapple fried rice, Papaya salad, Thai Skirt steak. I personally found everything but the Pineapple fried rice was stellar. The rice was missing that pop of curry flavor we enjoy from restaurants such as Thai Basil in Greenwich but it was still tasty in its own right. The skirt steak was awesome. Grilled perfectly with hints of ginger/chilli/sweetness. The winner was the papaya salad. This was masterful! It was maybe the best salad I've ever had. You have to enjoy spice in your greens however. If not- disregard my praise for it. If you do accept a well seasoned plate of greens then by all means order it- I think you'll be pleased.
Overall, it was a good experience and we believe we'll be back.
I hate to give a restaurant 3 stars rating when their food deserves 4 stars. The 1 star deduction is for the service and the price.
I met up with my girlfriend and her hubby on a Friday night after work. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. We each ordered an entree, crab meat fried rice, spicy eggplant basil, and Pad See Ew with Tofu. I totally agree with the other reviews, the portion is definitely small with the price they charge you. We had to order a Panang Curry with Beef halfway during our dinner because we know the portion was not going to be enough. The curry comes with barely 5 slices of beef, and not much bell peppers either. Call me cheap, but I think that's too expensive unless those are some grade A beef.
Service is not as nice as how the restaurant looks. We were chatting after dinner and we had the feeling that they want to get us out because they didn't wait much to give us the bill. Like I mentioned, the restaurant was not busy at all. At 9pm, the waitress told us they need to close so we need to pay. I am sure even in Mamaroneck, a thai restaurant wouldn't close at 9pm on a Friday night.
Great lunch specials and yummy food – hard to beat!
Came with 7 other coworkers around 12:30 and got a big table no problem. Another large party arrived shortly after us so we made sure to get our orders in first!
Lunch specials are $8-9 and come with soup or salad. There are 8 or 9 things to choose from and you can pick your protein separately. I had one of my go-to thai meals – tofu pad see ew. First of all the dressing on the salad was excellent – creamy and peanut-y while still being a little on the savory side. Main dish was cooked perfectly – crispty tofu and chinese broccoli with that yummy sweet brown sauce. I cleaned my plate.
Waitress was friendly but a little on the slow side.
Will definitely be back!
