I was surprised to see that they seemed to just sprinkle red chili flakes on it instead of using a spice oil. The pork belly was mostly fat (I understand that pork belly is fatty, but there was very little actual meat) and sadly, it was unseasoned. I might give them another chance, but I would definitely choose a different dish next time.

The food is always delicious, and we've found the servers to be very friendly as they scurry through their duties. I miss the quirkiness of the Mt. Adams Teak, but the new location has all the excellence of food, beverage, and service of the original. And it's such a short walk to Music Hall that we eat there more often.

Highly recommend! The service and food was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more Highly recommend! The service and food was excellent. We will definitely be back.

We've visited several Thai restaurants, and this one had the least flavor. read more We've visited several Thai restaurants, and this one had the least flavor.
