Hell's Kitchen Thai gem w/ HUGE portions. Must-try: crispy tofu & fried shrimp apps, amazing noodles. Solid pre-theater pick!
Ciera Velarde reviews Valla Table, a Hell's Kitchen Thai spot perfect for pre-theater dining, highlighting its large portions and dependable appetizers and noodles.
This Hell's Kitchen Thai spot is a solid choice for pre-theater dining, boasting generous portions and dependable appetizers and noodle dishes. While it may not be the most authentic Thai cuisine, its strengths lie in its satisfying servings and friendly service. For a more unique experience, consider the crispy Tao Hu Prik Kluer or the flavorful Goong Sarong.
The food at this Thai restaurant is characterized by generous portions, with appetizers and noodle dishes receiving strong recommendations. Dishes like the Tao Hu Prik Kluer (crispy tofu) and Goong Sarong (fried shrimp) are highlighted for their flavor and texture. The Pad Thai is noted as a well-executed classic. 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 not meeting expectations.
"The Tao Hu Prik Kluer (crispy tofu) and Goong Sarong (fried shrimp) are highly recommended appetizers. The Pad Thai is a well-executed classic, and the Mee Krob is also noted as a good option."
Customers generally have a positive sentiment towards this restaurant, with particular praise for specific dishes and overall value.
Important Note
The dining area is small and narrow with limited, closely-set tables, making advance reservations advisable due to limited seating. Meat and seafood entrees are noted as less consistent in flavor compared to appetizers and noodles.
