Description
This narrow cubby on a bustling strip of Amsterdam Avenue stands out among the areas many uninspired dining options. Festive red and gold walls, dark wood tables and teak lanterns provide the atmosphere behind one of the Upper West Sides most competent Thai menus. We liked the green papaya salad, which gets a few kicks from fresh hot peppers, cherry tomatoes and lime wedges. Our vegetarian friends enjoyed the meat-free dumplings, stuffed with a nutty mixture of tofu, spinach, corn, shiitake mushrooms and crushed peanuts.
