I have been searching for a good Thai restaurant since moving to the area 3 years ago. I have finally found my go-to Thai restaurant. The food was hot, fresh, beautifully presented and delicious! Even the iced tea made by our server, Amelia, was outstanding. The booth was comfortable, the music soft and we could hear each other👍 Amelia was everything you could want in a server; friendly, informative and competent. We look forward to returning soon to sample some of the other interesting offerings.

The Red curry was flavorful and not super spicy. It was very mild. Just enough to make your nose run. It was delicious. The staff is super nice as well. Update: the Nam Tok Beef was amazing! The beef was cooked but the dish is cool. The lime juice and seasonings really makes this dish delicious. The Beef Jerky that comes with it is hot and reminds me of what a Beef Satay would be. Absolutely fantastic. I will be having a hard time deciding which dish to get next time. Both the Red Curry and the Nam Tok Beef is so good.

If you are looking for the best Thai place in Apex, look no further! This place is kind of a hole in the wall and though I ding the place for the decor/ambiance because it's not upscale by any means the food is five stars! Great hospitality by the hosts. The food was spot on. The lunch menu is comprehensive. Lots and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. This would be my go to place for takeout.

Super cool place that’s open late. Stopped in here after going to the Comic Strip. It’s hard to find good places on the Upper East Side that are open past 10. Bua checked off all the boxes. Beautiful ambience inside, great attentive service, and excellent Thai food. This is a winner!!!
