Pre-Theater Groups

Family-style Thai menus,
timed for the show

Our family-style sharing menus make group dining easy — generous spreads of curries, stir-fries, and shareable plates passed around the table so everyone tastes a little of everything.

For Broadway group nights, we pace each course so your party can enjoy a full Thai dinner and still make curtain. Share your details and we'll tailor a plan around your show time.
