steev: chai dumpling starter was moist and perfect - 'seafood party' fish, octopus, shrimp and squid in sweet barbecue sauce was refreshingly different for thai. Order a fish dish!
Dave Silverstone: Forget "Spice" - the McD's of NYC Thai food - and grab a meal here, at Chelsea's best Thai spot. It's stylish, affordable, friendly, and the food and drinks are a leap ahead of nearby competition!
Melissa Jean: I come here almost EVERY Monday. The service is great and the food matches. Try the calamari basil, the longboat jumbo shrimp, or the spaghetti kee maw. Your tummy will thank you!

Jeffrey Easley: Great lunch special, ordered the red chicken curry and pot stickers for around 8 bucks.
David Trahan: Best Pad Thai in the world! Also get the shrimp & chicken fritters!
Alex: Sometimes when I'm depressed I come here, cry in the corner booth, order pad Thai, cry in the bathroom, then leave without paying.
Gregory Fisher: Get the cold sichuan noodles (order it spicy, even though it's not that spicy) and get tea smoked duck (awesome)
BLOUIN ARTINFO: Get away from the gallery crowd at this unpretentious Chinese restaurant known for their soup dumplings and extensive menu of both authentic Sichuan and Americanized chinese dishes. Read more.
Bravo: Stomach destroying hot oil bathed scechuan goodness. -Seth Caro, Top Chef Just Desserts
