Reviews
- rainy_green_beanHonestly the best part was that the classic dishes were all really well done. The tom yum soup had super fresh seafood and that perfect sour-spicy punch to wake you up. The pork neck had that real charcoal smoky flavor and the meat was nice and bouncy. And the three-color mango sticky rice looked gorgeous, super pretty, and tasted lightly sweet without being cloying. Also gotta mention the prawn crackers they bring out for free to every table, super thick and crispy with a strong shrimp taste, total lifesaver while waiting for the food. Place was clean, background music was chill, and the staff were quick to respond. The downside is the spot isn't very big so it gets kinda loud when it's busy, definitely try to avoid peak hours. Overall the flavors are legit, prices are fair, and finding Thai food this good tucked away in a hutong is honestly worth a special trip.
