🍜 Thai comfort with a full bar

The name comes from a Thai expression for eating in the warmest, friendliest way, and the room delivers on it. Set on a quiet block of East 39th Street, a short walk from both Bryant Park and Grand Central, the kitchen leans into deep, layered flavors. Here the crab fried rice arrives packed with succulent meat while the crispy branzino lands golden and shattering under the fork. Order the wagyu basil stir-fry, the crispy duck curry, or a plate of fresh squid, and let the full bar handle the rest with a proper cocktail. Service stays attentive even as the dining room turns crowded and loud through the peak-hour rush. With 4.9 stars across more than 3,000 reviews, the regulars keep coming back.
