Hed serving "Khao gaeng" is a typical way of eating a quick meal in Thai culture. Within one single meal--and oftentimes with only one plate--you get to taste different dishes with flavors and textures that complement themselves. Rice sits in the center, and a small portion of 2-3 stir-fries, soups, curries or fried items are served alongside. Hed presents this unique culture with our tri-colors rice from Thailand, an appetizer, a stir-fry, a curry, a fried item, a variety of sauces and seasonal ingredients

Was way too loud for a business dinner. Also, somewhat odd way of ordering food (only comes in sets).

Yum! We had a late lunch and loved every bit of it. If you don’t prefer spicy food, be sure to ask for no spice. Though, if you go to Thai food you should expect spice! We loved the tasting format, the service and engaging conversation with the waitperson.

I’ve been waiting to try this place for so long and it did NOT disappoint. It was amazing, every dish was so good. I had the pork belly set, the eggplant was also amazing (something I do not often say), the rest of the table had the beef set and the winter chicken and pork ribs set and everything was so delicious. All the sets were very filling. We also got the pork belly starter, which I absolutely recommend. The Dirty Thai tea cocktail was also so good. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious sets allow each diner to sample lots of plates and choose their own adventure. Not very spicy so if you like spice, ask for more.

great food, disinterested service - not a single smile, moment to check in, explanation of the food. the server just went through the motions. it’s a shame as the food was excellent and the concept compelling.
