Reviewer AS
Legit casual Thai eatery. Impressed by their professional kitchen and staff hygiene. Would be even more perfect if they all wear masks. Dishes were good too, pretty authentic and not Japanized Thai.
Reviewer MP
I've been passing this store so much but haven't had the time to try it. Personally I think what I ordered was super good (I ordered the tom yum noodle set).
Reviewer AG
Great find in Shinjuku and they had a dedicated vegetarian friendly menu. We loved their pad Thai, spring rolls, and tom yum soup. Service was prompt and atmosphere was good. We would recommend that you give it a try.
Reviewer GC
A popular Thai restaurant located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Known for serving authentic Thai dishes with bold flavors and fresh ingredients.
Reviewer MW
We came as a group of three; one has celiac disease and must eat gluten free. We could order fried morning glory as vegetable without sauce and the Thai steamed chicken with rice (also without sauce). The staff was paying a lot of attention to dietary needs.
