I live in the financial district, and while there is not a ton of thai around me, this place is totally sufficient! it has a fun atmosphere, especially during lunch when it's crazy packed, and it's…

If walking to Doyer's isn't an option, then Benny's will have to do. Nothing special and not a terrible place for lunch.

Decent Thai food for lower Manhattan which does not have many options for Thai. I got the Massaman curry and Thai iced tea -- both were good. The curry had a little too much oil, but it's fast food…

I've eaten here many times. Their Pad Thai and Chicken Satay is well worth the small wait. The service is quick. If you have trouble finding it, look down, it's on the basement level.

It's a dingy hole-in-the-wall with mediocre thai food...which is exactly what it's trying to be. There's something sublime in that, so I'm giving it four stars for executing its Aristotelian function.
