Dress for the Date: Blending Thai and Vietnamese, OBAO bridges the gap between the streets of Southeast Asia and the streets of NYC into "Modern Thai." Try the Grilled Japanese Eggplant, Fresh Shrimp Rolls & Pad Thai.
Danielle Whited: Delicious cocktail menu. The massaman steak curry, Japanese grilled eggplant, and Bok Choy with garlic were all fantastic.
Tiffany S: Spare ribs, grilled eggplant , and oven roasted chicken are great, but you'll have to sit thru a playlist of painfully sappy pop hits from 1997.

Mounir Karadja: The vegetable buns were extremely tasty, with fried eggplant, mushrooms and a red sauce.
G: Even if you're not a vegetarian: have the eggplant bun instead of the pork bun (if you're only ordering one kind otherwise get both) it's been my favourite bun in NYC so far
Jonathan Kramer: The eggplant buns are out of this world.

Jeffrey Wooten: The Malbec with the lamb shank. Need to recognize. Eggplant & goat cheese is awesome.
Shane Antony: So honestly lobster risotto is not that great, despite all the reviews. I would focus more on the small plates including the eggplant with goat cheese, gamberi aglio e olio and the lamb chops.
Brenda Chiquito: Prepare to share a table or to eat at the bar if you go by yourself. Anyway it's worth it. I had the Lobster risotto and the eggplant with goat cheese... I can't even tell which one was more delicious
Athina Loveland: Everything was delish! Ribs, Mac and cheese, pretzel and cheese, poutine, and the eggplant chips with honey special! I would come back here in a heartbeat!
Chris Blasting: Eggplant chips are delicious!!
Caroline Wu: Great service, had the wings and they were yummy - get them the honey mustard sauce!

Melissa Holtzer-Jonas: Loved the eggplant moussaka and the babaganoush.
Candace L.: Stuffed eggplant rocks out. Go with bulgur instead of rice for a tomato-y accent to complement the veggies.
Jeferson Roberto Zimmer: Food is amazing, family restaurant that cook based on traditional way, you have to go, "manti" is really good.
