"A compact, cozy Thai spot near the Graham Avenue stop with floor-length curtains and seating for about 20, offering vibrant, well-executed dishes: flaked mackerel tossed with plenty of thin-sliced lemongrass and hot red chile, plated on herbs and lettuce with the crisped head; delicate, flower-shaped chicken-and-peanut dumplings wrapped in chewy blue dough; and a standout pomelo salad of meaty fruit segments with shallots, mint and lime leaves dressed in a dark, syrupy sauce. Other highlights include an assertive tamarind-glazed duck with Chinese broccoli and generous scoops of fluffy jasmine rice served from an elaborate metal tureen." - Grub Street
