Monica Desai: Incredible chai and indoor/outdoor vibes. Great neighborhood spot

Thai Restaurant · Williamsburg · 257 tips and reviews
Hillel: Don't go here. The food is actually good. But it's an overly crowded, too loud place that is a magnet for the bridge and tunnel crowd. Too many quality restaurants around here to bother with Sea.
Candy Mac: Pomegranate mojitos is a MUST w top Tum fritters and martini shrimp cocktail :-)
Jason W: Perfect place to bring ur sidechick. Appetizers are around $5 and most expensive meal is $15. Food & decor will impress any girl from the hood. Only go during the week cuz wknds are PACKED. SUCK IT RE
