Valla Table is a vibrant Thai spot in Hell's Kitchen, perfect for pre-theater dining with its generous portions and dependable appetizers and noodles. While not the most refined Thai cuisine, it excels in creating a lively atmosphere for group meals with friendly service. It's a solid choice for classic Thai fare, particularly if you're looking for satisfying noodle dishes and well-executed appetizers.
This Thai restaurant offers a range of classic dishes. The Mee Krob and Pad Kee Mao are frequently recommended, praised for their texture and flavor. The Tao Hu Prik Kluer (tofu) and Goong Sarong (fried shrimp) are also noted as strong appetizers. However, some dishes like the crab dumplings (Pak Mor Kaeng Pu) and crab fried rice (Khao Pad Pu) have received negative feedback for being bland or inconsistently prepared. The Panang curry also received a positive mention.
