I ordered the coconut braised pork bun and the grilled chicken “build your own bowl” with the spicy Thai sauce. The coconut braised pork was okay. The meat didn’t have a lot of flavors to it but the bun was good (it wasn’t soggy). The grilled chicken bowl was good when you eat it all together especially with the spicy Thai sauce. The grilled chicken alone tasted like it had a lot of cumin and reminded me a lot of Indian food. If I had to rate the sauce by itself, I would give it a five star – it was spicier than most sauce I order from other places and it tasted great!

This Thai street food restaurant is an absolute gem! The service was lightning fast, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was of the highest quality, bursting with authentic Thai flavors. I had the tofu bites (yum!) and tried all three steamed salapao buns – all delicious but the chicken was my fav. To top it off, the art deco space added a touch of elegance and charm to the dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Thai cuisine in a stunning setting!

Located at the rear of the food hall on the ground floor. Cute spot with some interesting options, I went for the pork bun & a Thai tea! I was sad they were out of their Thai coffee as I was told it’s homemade freshly brewed daily. Overall the tea had a pretty good taste, reminded me of the sachets I use from my local Asian grocer. The bao could’ve used maybe bigger pieces of pork or just more pork. Not bad for the price.

Sadly this was a very disappointing experience. Bun was $6 each, outrageously expensive for a single steamed bun. You’re better off buying frozen packs from the grocery store. The papaya salad had zero flavor, all i tasted was salt and a hint of fish sauce.

I got a build your own bowl with the spicy dragon sauce and it was delicious! Sarah at the counter was very patient with my questions about the menu—I have a handful of food allergies so we figured out menu items that I could eat. Five stars, would totally come back!

Excellent spot with great service. The rice bowl was great. Fair warning – the hot sauce is actually hot. If you enjoy a little forehead sweat, it’s the sauce for you. Otherwise, the other sauce (peanut?) is the one for you.

I spent almost 10 years in the Bay Area & have enjoyed my fair share of Thai Food. When I tell you this is some of the best Thai food I’ve had in my life – I’m not kidding. These guys know what they’re doing! Highly recommend.

Ordered a ton of different items so we could get a feel for the menu. Food looked good. The PORK BELLY and grilled chicken BAO were unfortunately way too bready with the baos not being plaiable to hold the contents of the bao that everything kept falling out. We ended up eating the insides and tossing most of the bao. The pork belly being a slight better texture than the grilled chicken. The SALAPAO was a stuffed bun with shredded pork. Nice presentation- but again a bit too bready with not much of the pork filling inside. Would have been better it the pork had a bit more moisture to it with hoisin or something. The SPICY CURRY BOWLS ( chicken and pork) were quite decent and packed a good flavor profile with the coconut milk and spices.

I ordered the curry bowl of the day, which was Massaman curry with pork belly. For the amount and the price, it was filling, and the two slices of pork belly were plenty to pair with the curry. They had two spice levels, so I chose the jungle style, the spicier level. Although it was described as extremely spicy, I thought that it was alright, but for an average person, the description would probably be more fitting. Overall, flavor was there and pretty good, and I was served quickly. It might have been the curry of the day, but I felt that it was a bit too salty, and in addition to the pork belly, it was extra salty. There are radishes, cucumbers, and other veggies that helped cut the saltiness, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was less salty. Nevertheless, I think this place has a lot of potential and may come by again to try something different!

We love food halls, so when I found out one opened in Asheville, we made sure to stop on our most recent trip.
