Delicious food! I got the ramen and my friend got a curry. Both were amazing and spicy was actually spicy.

A hidden gem. We stopped off here on a whim. We were actually on our way somewhere else and passed by and said, "let's try that," and I'm glad we did! It was surprisingly quiet on a Saturday afternoon. It's a few steps down from street level and quite sparsely decorated, but don't let that sway you. The food was excellent, hot and fresh, and they were so helpful in explaining what was in each dish, how spicy, and how noticeable different flavors would be. I've always been skeptical of avocado egg rolls (hot avocado?) but I ordered them here and they were noteworthy! Highly recommend.

Fresh, clean, flavor-packed food. Authentic and tasty! I’ve been now twice and I’m very impressed. Cozy & intimate restaurant, friendly & attentive service, fabulous food. I highly recommend, I can’t wait to go back!

Everything from the amazing menu to the cozy warm atmosphere to the attentive and kind staff, there isn't anything about this place that isn't phenomenal.I'd you're looking to try out different Asian cuisine, or you and a friend can't pick between Japanese,Chinese or Thai you've come to the right place. It's got it all.I really recommend the Tom Yum soup but be aware the spices are not only so flavorful but the heat levels will make you sweat.10/10 will come here often!

Wonderful fresh food...huge menu...nice people

Worst service ever. Ordered a green curry with chicken for dinner and they served me a bowl of soup with a few small pieces of chicken and a few ultra thin pieces of green pepper. When the waitress asked me what I thought, I responded that the portion was very small. Instead of taking a constructive criticism, she said, "order extra chicken and extra pepper." Funny, right? Before I left, another employee asked me what I thought, and I said "disappointing." If they knew anything about working in restaurants, they would have said--at the very least, "sorry to hear that you had this experience; we'll try to improve next time, or even better, improve the dish by adding more chicken and pepper.

The best red curry I've ever had (as an American). The people who run the restaurant are so sweet, and the food is always prepared quickly. Anything with tofu here is my favorite

Ordered online. The delivery window in the text was 30 min later than the one in the email confirm. The pad thai was bland and overly sweet...only noodles, a decent amount of chicken(dry, tasteless and probably thrown in at the last minute) and peanuts with a few pieces of sprouts. No scallions, no fish sauce flavor, so spice. The tom kha soup was also overly sweet and contained all the fish sauce flavor lacking in the pad thai....it also had a giant clump of inoki mushrooms, a couple cherry tomatoes and a single piece of broccoli but no peppers or bamboo and none of the chicken I thought would be there. I've been to Thailand and have lived in NYC where thai food is great so I know good thai food...this was not it and I don't understand the high ratings. Disclaimer: I've had better from this restaurant in the past but it will be a long time before I try them again.

Great food. It's located in downtown Albany and street is very lively. They have Ramen, thai, various small appetizers, soups etc. We ordered vegan Ramen, edamame, bao buns, garlic veggies with rice and pork Ramen. All dishes were good. Their desserts were very good.. especially creme bruile, chocolate lava cake and Vietnamese coffee** please be aware of the spice level.. hot means very hot***

The food was good, and the menu makes me want to go back for more - which will be soon. I appreciate it the vegetarian and vegan options.
