Upon stepping into this place, I found myself transported into an age of China that was particularly reminiscent of Kung Fu Hustle. Quaint, ma & pop, and rustically chic. The decor of this original location was very enjoyable & the ambiance was a fresh take on a typical Chinese take-out joint.
We ordered two dishes, the spicy red curry Beef Fried Rice & Tom Yum Soup. And 2 drinks, the Thai Boxer & 43 Ludlow Manhattan. The flavors of the fried rice were very good; flavorful, spicy, and delicious. However, the $14 price tag was pretty hefty for such a small portion of rice. The Tom Yum Soup was a bit disappointing, as it was overly acidic and sour due to contrasting acidities from lime and red onion. For a portion to price ratio, I do think this place is overpriced. You can probably get better asian fusion food elsewhere.
The drinks here were very delicious, however. The Thai Boxer was very well made, coconut-y in just the right elements. I was sold on the Thai Boxer and the ambiance alone, and would recommend for anyone who comes here in the future to dabble on some smaller dishes and focus on the drinks- since they have a great bartender.
One part affordable neighborhood Chinese spot, one part chic eatery, many parts a good time.
We came here for a double date and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The summer roll with peanut dipping sauce and salmon fried rice I ordered were delicious, and the dimly-lit atmosphere lent itself to good conversation.
We came here on a coworker's recommendation. It was pretty decent Chinese food. Although at $10-or-something for an appetizer with four dumplings, it's definitely targeted for the western crowd.
Great service, good quality ingredients, good vibe, but just average Chinese food (that was probably made in a more sanitary kitchen) at triple the price. I would recommend this place for those that hate going down to Chinatown or all the way out to flushing but don't get swindled into order the basic stuff like shrimp fried rice. I actually fell for it and thought it would be more than just shrimp fried rice. But the Southeast Asian inspired dessert was some of the best I've had so that was redeeming. They also have an outdoor patio seating area for those who are interested.
Not worth it for a $13 drunken noodles, the portions were small, noodles were too sweet and no char flavored. Pretty sad looking noodles. However I do want to add that they gave a lot of shrimp.
had a really plesant family dinner here 🙂
yes it's small so when i made the reservation i requested the garden seating. it's NOT guaranteed, but we still got it after all 😀
Food- good take on Chinese fusion, not just those greasy genreal Tsao's chicken, it's more like similar food materials with unexpected condiments ###candided peanuts in Kungpao chiken! ### apple in the Asian slaw YUMMM
service was pretty decent
the kitchen is TINY too! just two chefs cooking up all the delicousness
Dessert- gelato from Laboratoria de Gelatia people! just sayin'!
I swug by here during lunch with a coworker friend of mine we both had enough time for a slightly extended lunch. I had the pork chops and he had some noodles and both were pretty tasty along with some really tasty fried dumplings.
The Pork chops were grilled pork then cut up and plated with a side of rice and bean sprouts. It was tasty, but nothing special. My buddy's noodles tasted pretty damn good and made me want to get whatever he got.
The dumplings though were really tasty! Huge and juicy, but not overflowing with oil from being pan fried. The filling was flavorful without being too fatty and the wrapping was tender and fried but not overly crunchy. Basically put, they were perfect. With a little soy sauce on the side it was awesome to start with.
I wish there was a little more but it was the lunch menu.
Great service and tasty Thai food. We came for a late dinner after a night at the theater. Get there before 10:30p or you won't get in. We had the spicy noodles with chicken and it was spicy deliciousness! I had the hot tea and my girlfriend had a glass of red wine. We left feeling satisfied and will definitely come back to try more dishes.
