Ngam New York

This tiny space, equipped with a tiny head chef, packs a big punch! The entry way is small bu the space opens up towards the back. They've shoved as many tables as they could in the open area so make reservations! I made the mistake of not making reservation, but the staff was SOOOO accommodating to my friends and me, who had never been. 

Everything sounded good on the menu but I must admit I ordered based on what I saw at the table next to ours. We got the Surf n' Turf for an appetizer. With grilled calamari, shrimp, beef, and the most delicious Thai sausage wrapped in bacon, we were in heaven. I mean seriously you can wrap a shoe in bacon, dip it in Thai chili sauce and I'd probably eat it lol! 
For the entree I went for the classic Pad Thai 'cause, let's face it, if a place can't handle the basics, the rest of the menu probably wouldn't be worth a try. I ordered it extra spicy and it came out perfect; not too saucy or dry and the perfect balance of spice, acidity, and sweetness. I can't wait to go back!

P.S. We got free drinks by checking in on Yelp!
