NYC Thai Spot ✨That Took Me Two Tries to Love! 🍴

I wasn’t a fan the first time I came here (the shrimp noodles and veggie spring rolls didn’t hit for me). But on a second visit? Total redemption!

🔥 What I Loved:

• Green Curry: So flavorful and comforting.

• Krapow Rice: Perfectly seasoned and spicy.

• Fried Fish: Crispy, fresh, and addictive.

💡 Must-Try:

• Mango Crispy Chicken: Sweet and crunchy goodness.

• New Beef Steak Rice: Super tender and satisfying!

Affordable prices and casual, homely vibes make this a great spot for solo meals or group dinners.

📍 RUA Thai
