And the food itself it absolutely delicious - we've never had anything that wasn't super flavorful and satisfying. Portion size is perfect (unless you're a super-size-me kind of person). The fact that it's BYOB makes it all that much better.

The two sauces we tried, spice ginger and red curry pineapple, were quite tasty. We probably should have had the duck w/red curry instead of the shrimp & mussels. Shrimp were flaccid and mussels were boring. Portions were on the small side.

Unfortunately haven’t dined in yet but it’s on the list. Sweet story. 4th Street is such a powerhouse of food, glad to be close to there.

In the 80s she was cooking at Montien Thai, a tiny restaurant on 14th Street near Avenue B, and the food was amazing; my late husband and I would eat there on an almost weekly basis, and she would often come out of the kitchen and sit and talk to us. At one point she mentioned she had learned to cook in the kitchens of the king of Thailand, and her food is always so inventive and delicious, I can believe it. I know where I'll be going for dinner tonight - I've got an old friend to say hello to, and some amazing food to eat!Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40114368276051297402019-03-29T12:04:59.789-04:002019-03-29T12:04:59.789-04:00I absolutely LOVE Lui's!
