5/5

The food was amazing. All the dishes were very unique, not authentic but unique. It’s creative and the tastes were not something you would taste usually at home or regular restaurants. If you like Asian food and want to try something new, this is the place. If you are among for real authentic Asian food, consider your choice. The desserts are the tops. The vibe here is also very warm and cozy, quiet and chill. Service was excellent.

Dined outside. Was a bit noisy with passing Mass Ave traffic, but otherwise really good. Food and service were really good with a number of excellent choices. One of our diners can't eat egg or dairy and almost everything on the menu fit within those constraints. Definitely share the items as the flavors are very potent and you would want to alternate among them

Delicious and unique food. Great service. Nice gluten free options. So nice to be able to actually be able to have a conversation and be able to hear my dinner companion. While I really like the unique options, would also like it if they had more traditional Thai options.

The food was very good! We had the duck salad, which I really enjoyed. We also had Aceh chicken which was good but not amazing. Roti was delicious. I had the butterfly lemonade which was very different but enjoyable. Book a table now

Went to this restaurant twice in one week already. First time with friends, second time for a date food and service have always been amazing! Perfect place to have a nice and chill dinner with whoever you want

Food and drink were outstanding. For some reason, despite solicitous service from waitstaff, we waited almost 1.5 hours for our meals. Hopefully this is anomalous because the food is spectacular.

Food here was excellent, authentic, and savory. Really packed full of flavor. Wine list was good, had beers on draft or can/bottle. The service was great. Really a nice experience. Will go again
