Reviews
The good: We ordered two appetizers and three entrees. We loved the mussel gorlae, which tasted like barbeque mussels with a delicious peanut based sauce. The mussels were cooked perfectly, which is not an easy feat. The entrees of the choo chee scallop was also cooked perfectly and the sauce was spicy and aromatic, it was our favorite dish of the night. We also got the grilled mackrel. It was light, refreshing, crunchy, sweet and salty. A perfect blend of flavors and our second favorite dish of the night. Servers were great and service was quick.
The not so good:
We also got the shrimp in 3 crab sauce. I personally found it to be way too acidic with no other elements to balance. I personally did not enjoy it but my partner did. The shrimps were a nice soft texture however.
The crab curry was something we were looking forward to as we had had it at previous visits. It was okay. The crab was cooked nicely. The curry was just okay. It was lacking in flavor. It was also room temperature when it arrived at the table, I am not sure if its meant to be served like that.
All this would have been okay and I would have given a 4/5 rating, but the worst part of this experience was the COLD! We were seated close to the door and we had our jackets on and freezing the entire time. We saw other diners who were also close to the door asking to move tables. We were never apologized to for the cold or offered anything. I think this was really poor hospitality on their part. The servers and hostesses were working hard and I know this is probably out of their control. I think management needs to remember why they are in this business. We rushed eating our dinner and didn’t bother with dessert because we were so cold and just wanted to get out of there. Overall just not a great experience.
Conclusion: I would recommend this restaurant if its a warm day or if you can specifically ask for a table far from the main entrance or upstairs but I won’t be returning any time soon!
Most of their dishes lean toward the spicy side, but the ones I tried weren’t actually very hot. The only downside for me was that several dishes were noticeably salty. If you’re not eating them with rice, it can feel a bit heavy and you’ll definitely need some water.
Service was excellent and the food quality was solid overall. However, out of the two oysters I ordered, one had a slight bitterness and didn’t have that clean, fresh oyster flavor you’d expect. On the other hand, the fried fish was amazing super crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and tasted very fresh.
For dessert, they only offer one option: the cocoa sticky rice. It was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I usually enjoy bold flavors, but this place was even richer and saltier than I expected. I’d recommend pairing the dishes with rice or a salad to balance things out.
Atmosphere was nice as well, I really loved their commitment to the fish decor, it’s nice when restaurants have a theme in my opinion, and the service was really good. My only complaint was it felt a little crowded, tables were pretty close together and it was a bit loud.
Appetizers (HIGHLY recommend trying both):
• Zaab Wings – Addictively spicy and tangy, perfectly seasoned.
• Mussel Gorlae – Mussels coated in a flavorful, spicy curry glaze, grilled beautifully with a smoky finish.
Dishes:
• Rawaaeng Duck Curry – Duck was tender and paired well with the spicy curry sauce, though the duck itself was slightly bland.
• Crab Fried Rice – Generous chunks of crab mixed throughout; sooo good.
• Steamed Fish with Thai Herbs – Very tender fish with strong cilantro and lime flavors. The broth is sour but incredibly satisfying—easy to devour with a whole bowl of rice.
• Pakboong Fai Dang – Morning glory with a great wok-smoky flavor.
Atmosphere: Amazing energy and vibe. Definitely a repeat customer.
The calamari and raw shrimp were fine but not particularly memorable. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly throughout the meal.
Overall, it’s a good restaurant, but compared to other Thai restaurants in NYC, it’s more expensive without being noticeably more impressive.
The food we ordered was tremendous. Fried fish with an herb salad, coconut crab curry, oysters, and squid ink calamari. It all came out fast and was solid portion sizes. The cocktails were distinct and thematically appropriate without trying to do much.
