    Absolutely one of our worst meals in NYC !! Went there just because of the Pig and Khao name and it was nothing at all like it!! Really surprised that Leah has her name associated with such bad food! The lamb rendang is nothing like a rendang and the lamb pieces in the dish were really bad!! At least the server took it back!! This is the very first time that we were served COLD jasmine rice!! If you are planning to go there because you like Leah's Pig and Khao -do NOT! You will be disappointed!!

    Don’t miss this place. All the dishes are well prepared and delicious. Served quickly and served hot. Outstanding crunchy, tasty wings. Lamb Randang best in the city- crispy like no other. Unbelievably delicious! Nice selection of beer and cocktails. The family meal is a deal and budget friendly for NYC! Come here! You won’t be sorry !!!!!

    Love the food. Dan Dan noodles are my favorite but it can be prohibitively spicy so beware. They can adjust the spice levels which I wish I had known about - but that heat is so good at times. Bread is amazing. I’m not a huge fan of their cocktail list but they can of course make standard cocktails too. It’s clear why the chef was on top chef - and how they progressed so far

    Hi Michael, Thanks so much for all the love! Looking forward to having you back again soon once our new cocktails launch soon!
