Great and fun place!
I bring all my friends here whenever we want to have a fun dinner. The waitresses are so friendly and the service is speedy. The drinks are fabulous, just kinda wish the food would be up to par with the rest of the thai spots on 8th ave. My friends and i go here for the experience first, and food second x_X

This place is soooo much fun!
What a fun experience! I had the calamari as an appetizer, and it was excellent. For the main course, I highly recommend the duck salad...very tender and tasty pieces of duck with a really good citrus vinaigrette. I thought the food was excellent. But the waitstaff is the real attraction. They are all so funny and engaging. We got a chance to meet most of them, and they were a hoot. My wife and I had so much fun, we stayed after and hung out at the bar, only to discover some of the best mojitos we've ever had. We'll definitely be back. I would highly recommend this place. We really enjoyed our time there.

Skip this one
A friend and I stopped in here despite its trendy and almost pretentious appearance, for what turned out to be a rather disappointing dinner. This restaurant looks like a date place and is nestled amongst several other restaurants along 8th Ave and can easily be passed over for another, perhaps better, option. We started off with a gratis, tiny plate of fried/crunchy noodles brought by the wait staff. It tasted like cracker jacks with scallions: sweet and crunchy with a bit of zesty scallion. Neither of us felt it was worth the calories so we left some over in anticipation of our entrees. We shared the Lemongrass Chicken entree and the Pad Thai. Both dishes were supposed to be with chicken. That is key: "Supposed to be". There was very little chicken in either of the dishes. In fact, in the pad thai, there was virtually no chicken. It was all tofu, which I don't recall seeing in the menu description of the dish, and the tofu was shaped to look like pieces of chicken. Very sneaky and very disappointing. Plus, I am not a fan of tofu and have never seen it in the ingredients in my many years of Pad Thai tastings. The Lemongrass chicken dish was incredibly small. It should have been categorized as a "small plate" or appetizer. It was not worthy of "entree" status. When we asked the waiter how spicy it was (before we ordered), he said it wasn't very spicy, but it was a bit spicier than both my friend and I had expected. That must've been the chili sauce. But no worries, because the portion size eliminated any problems of us having to eat too much of it. Let me note that I am a small person who walked out of the restaurant hungry. My advice to anyone who weighs more than 70 pounds is to find another place to enjoy your meal, where you can get what the dish calls for instead of a sneaky tofu imitation of chicken and where you receive a decent portion size for your money.

poor choice
DO NOT place a phone order for delivery you may only get selectively get half your order, even though the person taking the order will read it back to you several times as well as charge you for full order. Also, lunch portions will be given by the order taker's decision, not of your own choice. The menu describes certain dishes as spicy, made with chili sauce, which came as very bland. food was less then fair. I wont be ordering from there again

Loved it!
I am shocked by the negative reviews- all our food was delicious (and fresh) esp the specials, the chicken dishes, the curries, and desserts, and the drinks were fabuluous - and we loved our server - great time!!

Not what it used to be
I used to come here with my friends all the time, but their food has gone down in flavor. I actually liked the soupy pad thai they have here, but nowadays its just all soupy and no flavor. the rice is hard, NEVER GET ANYTHING WITH RICE if you actually wanna eat the rice. the service has always been great, drinks are awesome... ask for the thai iced coffee martini. its not on the menu, its a special drink the manager makes for me trust me you will love it! Also try the tom yum soup.

I tried both the triangle appetizer and the pad thai. The pad thai was floating in a syrupy greasy brown sauce, with hardly any chicken or tofu, just runny noodles. I'd always heard good things about this place, so I was mighty surprised.
