Felt rushed, the whole time. Waitress was constantly at my table urging me to finish up and leave after my food had been brought to me in about 15 mins. Very bad 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Everything was OK nothing really stood out as over the top. No concern about my Open Table reservation. Party of three and we all had something different. Food came out really quickly which I’m not sure if that’s an indication of pure efficiency or most of the food was pretty much prepared in advance. Nonetheless it was good and nicely presented. Would have preferred my rice to be in a separate dish vs in my curry soaking up all the sauce making chopsticks unusable! Didn’t have drinks but those of other tables around us look pretty incredible.

This restaurant is definitely not just one of those TikTok spots with the good vibes and bad food. The ambiance was great, the food was great. A bit on the pricier side. But we ball 😭

The food was very good and the portions were large. The one thing that hindered a 5 star review was the fact the restaurant was basically empty outside and it was a nice day so we sat outside. We were seated at a table that was separated from the next table with posts wrapped in saran wrap, but the tables were together like a four top. With a ton of other open tables they sat another party of two on the other side of the saran wrap. Honestly it ruined the whole experience because we felt like we were sitting with strangers and we couldn't talk or enjoy ourselves. It also made the table VERY small and with large drinks served in fruit and other large containers there was not enough room on the table so they would take food away even if you weren't done. Overall the food is worth it but you have to be ready to basically sit on top of each other.

Nothing special Thai on 2nd Avenue. Perhaps the food we ordered (tuna salad, mussels) were not ideal - mussels were not particularly fresh tasting. Noisy outdoors with tables very close together along with road noise, solicitous help - and I did not feel rushed but I did feel like the end goal is to cycle through as many customers as possible. Very surprised by the high ratings; will not return
