"@VikasBajaj says this is the best Thai in Manhattan. He was raised in Bangkok, so he knows his Thai food - and even ordered in fluent Thai."

"Forever associate JN with my dear departed grandparents, MV Ramankutty Nair and Vanaja Nair. Loved visiting and staying with them. Learned to play badminton here. And studied at Loyola School, too."

"Fantastic food. Come for the dumplings, but stay for the cold & hot appetizers & the egg fried rice. Save room for the mango shaved ice and/or the kiwi shaved ice (we got both). Lotsa veg options."

"Fantastic location, minutes to Tiananmen Square, National Museum of China, etc. We walked to both & also to the famous Pearl Market (where you shouldn't pay more than 15-20% of what they quote you)."

"Almost no English menus!"

"If you've never had a Chicago with all the trimmings, try this. Am sure there are other, better places in the city, but if you are transiting, this can't be beat."
