Who should go: Date-night diners who like Thai and drinks
When to visit: Thursday–Sunday evenings for best vibe
What to order: Crab fried rice, pad krapow, curry empanadas

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited on 37th Ave and can be challenging after 6pm. Plan extra time or use a rideshare.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—jeans are fine, but most diners opt for a polished night-out look.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—energetic room, but still workable for date-night conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily a dinner-focused destination
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several vegetable-forward mains and curries can be ordered meat-free.
Vegan options: Limited—some dishes can be adapted, but confirm fish sauce and curry bases with staff.
Gluten-free options: Partial—rice-based dishes work well, but sauces may contain gluten; ask before ordering.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—stylish room, strong cocktails, and shareable plates make it easy to pace the night without feeling rushed or awkward.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes—early evenings or later slots are doable, but Thursday–Saturday nights are safer with a reservation.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is a date-night and adult-dining room vibe with spice-forward food and cocktails, better for teens than young kids.
Best For
Better for: Modern Thai presentation, cocktails, and a polished atmosphere compared to more casual Jackson Heights Thai spots.
Skip if: You want bargain pricing, ultra-traditional street-style Thai, or a quick, casual meal—older neighborhood staples fit that better.
