Cozy spot for solo dining
I had a really beautiful, basic fantasy of cheese wontons and (bland but still yum) thai fried rice all alone after an essay here. The atmosphere was cozy and anti-social (in a good way, everyone is here to chill and eat in engrossed silence or book/phone time), and warm!

Decent Panang Curry, Lacking Thickness
