Cute and super IG Thai restaurant in the heart of West Village, I came here a couple weekends ago for a friend's birthday where she'd booked a prix-fixe brunch for 20 people with unlimited drinks (choice of mimosa, lychee Bellini, coffee and tea) for 1.5 hours.
They sat us in the back seating area with a garden room vibe--faux flowers and greenery were strung along every wall, creating a lush, dense countryside feel, like you were transported into a cottage greenhouse. The theme of rabbits flowed from the brass door knocker outside to the memorabilia adorning the walls, to the napkin holder on the bar and wallpaper in the bathroom. Super adorable for those of you who like bunnies.
The seating was cozy considering the number of seats they fit into the back area and the length of the tables, though to their credit the chairs themselves were pretty roomy. It took a bit of time for the staff to come take drink orders, considering it was peak brunch hour. For the unlimited beverage option they serve premade bellinis poured from a pitcher, they don't quite look as nice but it tasted good, if not just slightly less bubbly than a made-to-order drink. It was nice to have coffee or tea too.
Food-wise--what a selection of tantalizing brunch plates! I was torn between the chicken & croffle, shrimp avocado toast, roti with banana and coconut palm sugar, crab kai jaew, and Thai tea toast. I went with the crab kai jaew which was an omelette wrapped around a lump crab meat served over jasmine rice with a side of sweet chili sauce. The prep wasn't very exciting l(iterally exactly what I just described,) though worth mentioning there was a fair amount of crab. My table mates mostly ordered the pad thai and thought it just ok, I tried a bite and agreed it didn't particularly stand out in the sea of pad Thai options available in the city. If I come back I'd like to try the roti with banana and coconut palm sugar-that's not something you'll normally find at most restaurants.
It was nice that service didn't feel rushed, we stayed there for about 2.5 hours. Most of the water was already in pitchers/jugs on the table so we helped ourselves, the restaurant was very busy during the entire time so the wait staff felt a bit stretched, though food came out about 15-20 minutes after we ordered which seemed on target given our party size.
