8.1
A Washington Ave Thai-and-cocktails room that’s strongest when you treat it like a small-plates night with a noodle anchor. Go for the fried wing lane, one dumpling-style snack, and a curry or noodle so the table feels fun and complete without turning into a sampler pile.
Must-Try Dishes:
Thai-style fried chicken wings, Peanut dumplings, Mango sticky rice

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited on Washington Ave and surrounding blocks, easier earlier in the evening but tight after 7pm.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans are fine, but many guests lean trendy-night-out.
Noise level: Moderate-lively — energetic but you can still hold a table conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable — primarily a dinner and evening spot.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple vegetable-forward starters and curries can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — a few options with modifications; ask about fish sauce substitutions.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some curries and rice dishes work, but soy-based sauces appear across the menu.
Best For
Better for: Thai plus cocktails, group-friendly small plates, and happy-hour-to-dinner pacing.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet, traditional Thai meal or a strictly kid-focused family dinner.
