The papaya salad with raw crab and fish paste is a winner (Tum Ploo , Plara). Definitely try this type of crab if you haven't had the sweet rice field variety before.

The Tum Poo - Plara was very tasty but also very spicy, even though I ordered mild. If this was mild, I wouldn't even be able to be in the same room as spicy. Good think I ordered Steamed Sticky Rice with it to help douse the fire.

Everything was too spicy including the things we asked for mild. And we like spice. The TumThai papaya drssing was awful - not the classic sweet and dairy fish sauce based. The pad Thai sauce tasted similar. Weirdly creamy and too spicy on both. The spring rolls were terrible not crispy and the sauce like a spicy ranch dressing. Disappointing. And it 20 min later than the late end of the estimate.

Portions are very very small for the price you're paying. I get it, it's NYC but come on. Ordered two diff Papaya Salad. The one with crabs there was barely any papaya!!!

While the food is great do note that there is no such thing as vegetarian dishes here. We were told by staff that the vegetarian papaya salad contains fish sauce. We told them they should remove the vegetarian label and they replied "it's just a little bit", which is not okay. If you have a shellfish or fish allergy be extremely careful here.
