Savory and spicy Thai fusion linguine pasta with broccoli, carrot, chili pepper, tofu and basil, also known as drunken linguine.

Authentic Thai food that just happens to be plant-based

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.

Glass Noodle Salad, made of mung bean noodles soaked in water then steamed and cooled, slices of red bell pepper, toasted rice powder and chopped mint leaves served on large lettuce leaves in a white ceramic bowl.
Mango Rolls, made with shredded carrot, red cabbage, cucumber and mango slices in a rice wrapper cut into small bite sized pieces.
Veg Bowl, a combination of raw and steamed vegetables, carrot, cauliflower, red cabbage, avocado with tangy dressing and a slice of lime.

Authentic Thai Dishes

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.

Turmeric Rice, served as a decorative cylindrical shape topped with tofu slices, thin carrot and cabbage slices, avocado slices and sprinkles of dried seaweed with a tofu cream sauce.

Fusion Thai Dishes

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.

Booster Bowl, a medley of vegetables, fruit and spices including avocado, cucumber, cilantro, broccoli, mango, cashew nuts and bean sprouts, sprinkled with turmeric, black pepper and minced garlic.
