    Modern Thai

    The interior has great music and ambiance. The service is fast and the waitress/waiters are nice. I think the food is good, but most Thai places in Manhattan taste alike. They have good pork chops. I would def suggest this place for a date or a group of friends/co workers.

    Avoid if you take Thai seriously

    This place is usually near capacity, which proves the adage " never underestimate the public's taste for the mediocre". I would highly recommend you avoid this at night, as it is all hard surfaces and the result is cacaphony. The lunch deal is what brings them in. The food is quite homogenous, most of it sweet. This place really makes one want to take a trip to Flushing and have the real thing, since it is so dumbed down American Thai.

    Rude waitress

    I came to this restaurant with a colleague of mine in hopes of satisfying my hunger. When we arrived we were greeted by a sweet hostess who told us that the wait time was 15 minutes. We were then escorted to our table. We ordered the early bird special which was great. Our experience here began to turn sour once we were in the middle of eating our entrée we received the check. We were very upset, because we wanted to order more drinks. We then ignored the check and continued eating our meal. The waitress we felt as if she were doing swirls around our table, in hopes of getting the check paid. When I was finished eating my meal I quickly handed her the check back and told her that we wanted two more drinks. She was very upset. Our glass of water was not ever refilled, and she was just plain rude. We decided to tip her what she deserved, based upon the level of service she provided. And it was three dollars, when we got up to leave she stopped us from exiting the restaurant and told us that the tip was too low. I was furious, how rude.

    Okay Thai food, horrible seating

    I came here a few months ago with friends from out of town in search of good Thai food. The food itself is pretty good, and they give you a lot of it. My main problem was the restaurant itself. The waitstaff is less than friendly, and sitting down is a pain in the butt. They have these awful benches for chairs that hardly move out or in, leaving you to nearly break a leg trying just to sit. If you're ordering from cafetasia, I'd suggest getting it to go and enjoying sitting on the sidewalk, which would probably be more comfortable.

    Good deal for nothing

    A joke. The Pad Thai tastes like spiced ketchup. The spring rolls and chicken teriyaki was at best from a mircrowave.

    Not good at all

    I've never been so put off by a restaurant in this neighborhood before. The waiters were actively rude and mean to me and my party. I thought we were quite polite. The waiter said "beef, shrimp, or chicken?" and when I asked him to repeat himself please, he yelled at me with a scowl. I ended up apologizing and feeling awful about the situation. We ordered an appetizer that never came even when we asked about it later. A waitress yelled at me for not being able to move my bench in far enough to let someone else through, when I had moved it as much as I could. And the atmosphere was so loud I couldn't even hear myself think. Sure, the prices are cheap but you get what you pay for at this joint. I would recommend this place to nobody at no time.
