Gabe was an incredibly informed and quick server. His expertise of the menu for food allergies and dietary restrictions made our night. The food was fire!!! The curry was great and i enjoyed the tofu satay. My girlfriend ordered the ribeye skewer too. Ambiance was lovely and the incredible smell of the food was palpable from across the street. Highly recommend to everyone in the city! Vegan and treenut allergy accommodations were amazing! We will be back

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Great vegan options! Lots of flavor and spice if you like that! We got a few things including the okra fried (spicier than expected), crispy shrimp (delicious) and kaho soi tofu. All were great and again fun flavors! They do have a 20% service charge which took us by surprise but then we saw a sign saying it goes to paying livable wages which we were fine with once we read that. Great place with Vegan options!

I may have set myself up for disappointment trying a Thai restaurant in New Orleans, but after several days of fried food, I was craving something different. The dumplings were tasty but quite pricey at $15 for four pieces. I also found that most dishes leaned sweet rather than spicy, even when ordered “Thai Spicy.” The highlight of the meal was definitely the Arancini — it was flavorful and well-made. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes felt a bit underwhelming, especially considering the higher price point. I came in very hungry, so the fact that I still left feeling that way says a lot about how the food landed for me. The service from our waitress was lovely and attentive. The owner, however, seemed a bit distant, which made the atmosphere feel less warm than it could have been. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly service and a few bright spots, the food and value didn’t quite live up to expectations for the price.
