This was some of the best Thai that I have had. Their curries are spectacular and their appetizers are fantastic. The Fried Pork and Crab roll was really good and the Thai salads are outstanding. The appetizers are reasonably sized, but you better bring your appetite for the entrees, because you are going to get more delicious food than you can handle. \r

On nice evenings ask to be seated in the garden. Being outdoors helps to suppress some of the volume of the other diners. The occasional sound of the 7 train doesn't detract from the ambience. Just get there early if you want to get a table, or get together with lots of friends as they will take reservations for five or more. We finished dinner on a Saturday night at about 9:15 PM and the place was still packed and there were over 50 people waiting on the sidewalk for a table. The kitchen closes at 9:30PM so I hope they all got a seat. \r

As for price, this is perhaps one of the best bargains around. Dinner for four with four appetizers, four entrees, four beers and two thai ice teas with tip came to $110. This is a cash only restaurant. \r

Only minor annoyance was that they forgot to bring out two of our orders, but when we reminded them, they pleasantly brought it to us. The service was friendly and helpful and there was no problem with substitutions or requesting spiciness levels.\r

So Manhattanites, hop on the 7 and Brooklynites travel north to get one of the best Thai experiences around.
Pros: Food, Ambience, Price, Service
Cons: Location, Noise Level Inside, Occasional 7 Train sounds
