    A beautiful place with some of the best Thai in the City. We tried it because it was close to the Met and was highly rated. It did not disappoint! Service was exceptional. Although it was busy, they seated us immediately.

    I’ve eaten at Dagg twice now. First time, I had the beef salad, which was delicious, and the Morning Glory, which was a tad garlicky for my taste. Second time I tried the Pad Thai w tofu, which I thought was quite good.

    First time there. I loved it. I went with my niece who is vegan and she also loved it. We ordered the Papaya salad; it was prepared so perfectly and spicy; which for me was delightful. We also ordered the chives pancakes; and oh what an unexpected delicious appetizer! Perfectly cooked and tasty! I tend to get a Pad Thai every time I go to a new Thai place ; it’s my way of testing the restaurant; if I like the Pad Thai, I will like everything! It was really good, couldn’t finish it all because it was already too much food + the drinks. My niece ordered a green curry with tofu and she enjoyed it tremendously! Our server was Mai; and was the nicest person ever!! I am definitely coming back!
