Noah Weiss: Insanely spicy and quite delicious new Thai spot with authentic ways like coconut crab curry, the pork starter, and the greens side dish.
Ernesto Gutierrez: Amazing place if you like spicy food. A great sampler: namtok pork, coconut crab curry and the tom yum goong soup
Giulia Prati: The Namtok pork, coconut crab curry, and fried calamari were some of our favorites! Perfect blend of flavors: sweet, sour, and some heat! 💥

Eater: The menu includes things like crunchy coconut rice with sausage, bamboo grilled quail, duck laap, spare ribs, grilled chicken, and pork belly with quail egg. A really fun restaurant for date night.
M T: Excellent service and one of the few Laotian restaurants in NYC. Ribs are a must, the coconut rice pudding is super yummy, brussels sprout special is delicious- make sure you're into spicy.
Yoav Hornung: Go family style! Coconut rice was absolutely amazing, loved the lobster noodles and don’t skip the Tuna Tartar which comes with a bone marrow and a fois gras:) Not cheap but also not too expensive.

Nina Orfali: 10oz Filet Mignon on the Restaurant Week menu for no extra supplement! ....and some delicious coconut layer cake to finish :-)
Ellie Manduriao: Steak was ok but not that good. We had cajun rib eye, colorado something steak, porterhouse, king salmon, choc mousse and coconut layered cake for dessert. Our only complaint was the waiter!
Sharie Acosta: Pass on the asparagus... I couldn't even have made it that boring!! Now, on the positive... The filet was awesome, the 4-lb lobster kicked my husband's butt & the coconut cake.... To DIE for!!!

Village Voice: They brought soft cheesecake with blueberry compote, oranges and passionfruit foam, and mini cupcakes (Green Tea, Coffee, Coconut, and Mocha) to Choice Eats- sweet and delicious!
The Corcoran Group: Coconut Almond Nutella Macaroon: Many say that macaroons are the new cupcakes. When you taste this awesome East Village delight you might understand why.
Julie Soscia: Go with a group of friends so that you can try a variety of dishes, including the very Instagrammable Plant chocolate dessert or the coconut monkey bread.

Donut Shop · Union Square · 322 tips and reviews
Keith Kaplan: I would say this is probably the best donut shop in NY. There are a variety of flavors and hit the spot every time you take a bite. My personal favorite is the original glazed and coconut donuts.
ms: I love the dulce de leche and the toasted coconut, but my best friend worships dough for its work with hibiscus. Much recommend
Celena Chan: My favorites here are the cocoa nib, coconut, glazed and lemon poppy! Can get a bit dense if sitting around so get them fresh!

Allison Niksich: The grilled corn with coconut is a must try....unlike anything I've had - delicious!
Tina Hilll: Definitely try the jerk corn. Grilled corn on a stick with a little sweet of coconut along with a kick. Oxtail stew was enjoyed by the table. Thought fish tacos were good as well.
Nazli Oguz: Great and fast service, unlimited cocktails for brunch and delicious food, jerk chicken rotti and coconut pancake are amazing
Nicole S: Coconut, almond cookie...yum!
Lolita Cipriano: Plan to come back one day to try Lychee, Durian, Zen Butter, Ube/Taro, Coconut, & Avocado flavors :-)
Ben Mackey: The coconut fudge ice cream is amazing. You might think you only want one scoop but you will be disappointed if you don't go a double.

Thai Restaurant · East Village · 192 tips and reviews
Douglas Elliman: A simple restaurant with regional Isan cuisine. We love the vast arrangement of shared plates and recommend the pro play: papaya salad with salted egg, duck larb, coconut rice, and pad ki mao.
Ali Kraft: Amazing food from northern Thailand, not your traditional and overdone noodle and curry dishes. Papaya Salad and beef skewers in coconut milk are a must!
Emily Wilson: A somtum is a must, and all this stuff is killer, too: grilled coconut milk marinated pork skewers, pork fried rice with Thai basil, deep fried chicken thighs, any larb (but esp. the mushroom).

Natasha Taylor: First off, anything that you eat from their menu is delicious! From the coleslaw, to the bbq ribs, to the sushi to dessert. Very diverse menu. I tend to get the coconut shrimp roll (yum)!
April Caruso: This is a hidden gem! Coconut shrimp sushi roll, veggie burger, and grilled artichokes are all to die for! But that's just to name a few...everything there is amazing! Can't go wrong!
S: Great place, food and staff. U have 2 try the coconut shrimp rolls it was amazing and the spinach artichoke dip is the best in town, burgers and salmon were great too.
