In 1988 May started with just a street cart in Bangkok creating dishes that would eventually become part of our complete menu which we still offer today. 30+ years and many iterations later, May Kaidee arrived in NYC to bring our taste to an even greater audience.
We specialize in Thai vegan food inspired by traditional dishes from Thailand's various provinces.
Our menu includes salads, curries, noodles dishes all based on traditional Thai recipes from different provinces including Isaan (North-East Thailand), Central Thailand and Southern Thailand.
We offer indoor seating in two dining rooms and a private dining room that seats up to 6 people. We can accommodate group bookings up to 25 people in our main dining room. Our outdoor seating includes two private covered spaces as well as open air tables.
Our outdoor covered space can accommodate groups up to 14 people and our open air table area can accommodate groups up to 8 people.
We source the ingredients used in our dishes daily for maximum freshness. In Thailand food is normally made with ingredients that have arrived directly from farms that same day. In order to come as close as possible to the experience of Thai food as it's made in Thailand, we start by seeking out and handpicking ingredients everyday that are as fresh as possible.
Whether easy to find produce such as lettuce, tomotoes and cabbage, or more difficult to source ingredients such as galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, fingerroot (Chinese ginger) or Thai basil, we make an effort to find the best individual ingredients available each day.
We also offer a selection of fusion Thai inspired dishes as a unique extension to our original menu which originated in Bangkok, Thailand. Combining traditional ingredients with complementary, sometimes unlikely counterparts, completes the circle of traditional Thai cuisine from the past few centuries which itself began as a fusion cusine reinventing dishes and techniques from China primarily and later India, and even later with ingredients as far away as North America – most notably the chili pepper which originated in Mexico.

The safety of our customers and team is most important to us and we take several daily steps to ensure that your experience is as safe as possible.
