A no-frills, fast-casual joint serving authentic, comforting Thai street noodles, complete with a hidden cocktail speakeasy in the basement.
Ordering Strategy
Portions are massive, so while you should grab the Hat Yai chicken and some dumplings to share, you might struggle to finish a whole bowl of noodle soup by yourself. Head downstairs to Dang's afterwards for drinks.
What to order
Hat Yai Chicken
Universally praised as "better than good," these juicy fried chicken thighs are marinated in coriander and garlic and topped with crispy shallots. Critics recommend using a spoon to clear up every bit of the "delicious shallot debris."
Stewed Chicken Noodle Soup
A "colossal bowlful" that includes four chicken drumsticks, shiitake, and duck blood in a rich, dark broth. It is so substantial that reviewers suggest it should be "recommended for sharing" because of its generous proportions.
Tom Yum Cocktail
An "experimental" and "excellent" drink from the basement speakeasy, Dang’s. It delivers an "explosion of flavours" by blending chilli vodka, galangal, and lemongrass—it even comes garnished with noodles.

Good to know
The downstairs speakeasy (Dang's) allows you to order food from the restaurant above in a cosier, more intimate setting. English isn't the staff's strongest suit, so ordering requires a bit of pointing and smiling.
