Master Critic Review

Soothr LIC 8.6
Dutch Kills
A high-energy Bangkok-inspired room that leans into bold, street-to-banquet flavors rather than playing it safe. Come hungry, order share-style, and let the kitchen’s savory depth (noodles, curries, seafood) do the heavy lifting while the cocktail program keeps the pace moving.
Must-Try Dishes: Khao Soi, Crab noodles, Mango sticky rice
Scores:
Value: 7.2 Service: 8.3 Consistency: 8.4 Food Quality: 8.9 Atmosphere: 9.1 Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: Bangkok-style flavors in a big, buzzy LIC dining room with cocktails.
Who should go: Groups who want Thai plus energy
When to visit: Weeknight dinner or early weekend seating
What to order: Khao soi, crab noodles, mango sticky rice
Insider tip: Order fewer mains and more share plates—balance curry, noodle, and one seafood.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive in the evenings; plan on nearby paid garages or a short walk if driving. Rideshare is the easiest option.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—jeans are fine, but this is a place people show up styled.
Noise level: Lively to loud—great energy, but expect to raise your voice during peak dinner hours.
Weekend wait: 45–90 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: No wait or very short wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple vegetable and tofu-based dishes across noodles, curries, and small plates.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—ask for fish sauce–free preparations and tofu substitutions.
Gluten-free options: Some options—rice noodles and curries work, but cross-contact is possible; flag it to your server.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a confident, high-energy first date than a quiet one—the vibe is fun and buzzy, but conversation takes effort.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes on weeknights if you’re flexible; weekends are tough without a reservation unless you arrive early or late.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is more of an adult, cocktail-driven dining room best suited for teens and up.
Best For
Better for: High-energy group dinners, bold Bangkok-style flavors, and a scene-forward night out with cocktails.
Skip if: You want a quiet, intimate Thai meal or a low-key neighborhood spot—choose a calmer, more traditional Thai restaurant instead.
