It’s
hard
finding
authentic
and
affordable
Thai
food
in
Manhattan,
let
alone
UES.
However,
this
place
truly
served
some
of
the
most
flavorful
Thai
dishes
that
I’ve
had
in
the
city.
It
doesn’t
compare
to
authentic
Thai
cuisine,
but
it
comes
pretty
close.
We
started
with
fried
calamari
as
our
appetizer.
It
was
definitely
very
good,
but
I
felt
it
could
have
used
more
seasonings
and
spices
to
bring
out
the
calamari
flavor.
Some
tamarind
or
cayenne
pepper
would
have
really
brought
out
more
dimension
to
the
dish,
but
overall
I
had
no
other
complaints.
The
cook
was
just
right.
I
was
recovering
from
strained
vocal
cords
and
was
craving
soup.
The
ground
pork
Tom
yum
soup
was
the
medicine
that
I
needed
to
cure
my
throat.
It
was
bright,
savory,
and
had
the
right
amount
of
acid
and
spice.
The
crunchy
wonton
chips
added
a
depth
of
flavor
and
texture
to
the
dish,
a
detail
that
I
really
appreciated.
I
also
tried
my
friend’s
fried
chicken
dish
and
it
was
edible.
The
chicken
looked
a
little
undercooked,
and
it
was
rather
one
dimensional.
The
sauce
was
definitely
there
to
add
some
kick,
but
it
could
have
been
spicier.
I
was
missing
a
lot
of
the
flavor
profiles
that
are
traditional
of
Thai
cuisine,
so
it
would
have
been
great
to
see
it
in
this
dish
as
well.
Overall,
I
had
a
great
dining
experience.
My
throat
wasn’t
feeling
too
good,
and
the
servers
graciously
provided
me
with
hot
water
and
lemon
to
drink
instead
of
cold
water.
The
aesthetic
of
the
restaurant
was
also
nice,
and
I
really
appreciated
that
it
wasn’t
blazing
hot
inside
of
the
restaurant.
I’d
definitely
come
back
here
again
to
try
out
more
of
their
dishes.
More
importantly,
I
would
come
back
just
for
their
wonderful
hospitality.
