Logistics & Planning

Noise level: Moderate — lively but still easy to carry a conversation without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several curries, noodle dishes, and stir-fries can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited but workable — a few vegetable-based curries and noodle dishes can be adapted on request.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free Thai dishes are available, but cross-contamination is possible — communicate clearly with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — it’s intimate without being stuffy, with comforting food and just enough polish to feel special.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or earlier in the evening; weekends after 7pm are tougher without a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids who enjoy Thai flavors — the room is compact and not geared toward strollers or large family groups.
Best For
