Hear from our valued guests
Great food!!! Their scallion pancake is handmade and their wontons are also made in house. This is great authentic Asian food!!
The food here was sooo good. Like the other reviews said the scallion pancakes are awesome. I got the Singapore noodles (curry flavored) with shrimp and it didn’t disappoint. The woman who waited on me was so kind in making recommendations. I felt very welcomed. Thank you !
Very wonderful restaurant, I loved my chicken curry dish and the chicken stir fry noodles were also delicious. The spices and sauces were perfect! Best Thai food in New Haven. The boba tea was also extremely good.
I was looking for a simple place with good food. This place is it. Good food, with wide selection which can get overwhelming, waitress was extremely helpful and I got exactly what I was craving. Even though it’s called something different at their place, but it was Laksa, filled with generous amounts of seafood. Tap water tasted good. Bathroom was clean. I can’t wait to go back and eat there again. Highly recommend.
The stir-fried beef noodles - beef is very fresh and juicy. It was so good that we ordered another one right after. Sorry, photo was not taken on time. 😄Can't remember what the rest my family ordered but we finished it all.
The portion of the food is huge! The basil fried rice was good, not too oily. Although the menu marked it as spicy, I didn’t find it tastes spicy. The singapore fried rice noodles were so great that I couldn’t stop eating it (forgot to take the picture). Seems like a popular place for students. Will come to try other food recommended in reviews.
It was quiet there on Wed night. Food was made fast and was good.
A delightful little restaurant tucked away in a converted old house. The atmosphere is excellent, the staff kind, and the menu varied. They have tons of vegan and vegetarian options. The tofu, in particular, is excellent and crispy. The food is also very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and craving some delicious Asian food!
Haven’t been to the restaurant yet, just placed an online order for delivery. I ordered the tofu noodles, scallion pancakes, and Thai iced tea. And WOW it was delicious. I live in New Haven and get Thai food fairly often but it’s not often I am this impressed. The scallion pancakes alone are easily the best I’ve ever had. Just so rich and flavorful. And the tofu in the soup was perfectly tender, with the soup having a nice spicy flavor to it but also not too intense. I’m hoping to head to the actual restaurant now after such a delicious meal. Highly recommend!
The food was really good. Mild flavor but filling. The cost was very fair compared to other restaurants around. Bubble tea tastes great. All in all would recommend if you want a price-appropriate filling meal!
