" Easily one of the best Thai places I've tried in NYC! Their duck curry and soy sauce chicken fried rice were perfection. The staff was welcoming and assisted us with recommendations. Great spot for date night too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent experience overall. I tried their pad see ew, but I expected it to be different based on what I've had before. The atmosphere was inviting but maybe a bit small due to limited seating. Would give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my meal at all. The food lacked flavor, and the portions were smaller than I expected for the price. The atmosphere is decent, so I guess I can give them that. Probably won't come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how authentic the Thai flavors are at Lil Chef Mama! The Pad Thai was perfect—not too sweet and just the right amount of spice. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure my dining experience was nothing short of wonderful. I highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a good meal overall but I felt something was missing in terms of authenticity. The green curry was good but not as spicy as I hoped for. However, the service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy enough. I might consider returning to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
