Great spot on the green line! We got The Hen Burger, Tom Yum soup, and the heat version of Khao Man Gai. The flavors were fantastic on everything and the service was great. The side broth is also super good!

Was in the area in for a sporting event and had some time in between events and stumbled across this place. Order the six piece chicken. Wings were tasty, but and a nice treat, but after the fact seemed a bit overpriced. Was in a rush so swiped my card and was not paying attention. Typical of most restaurants, they offered the suggested tip starting at 18% with the server hovering over you. Meanwhile this was take out. Needless to say, pretty sure 6 wings cost me over $15 plus the stong armed tip. Wings were good, but not at the price.

Ben is an amazing bartender and always so nice. We have come back three times and tried most of the cocktails on the menu and they are phenomenal. We like sitting at the bar and talking with Ben and where he introduced us to a new cocktail he’s creating and it’s so good! It’s an Apple whiskey with grapefruit and I hope it makes it on the menu!

Henfolk has very interesting Thai inspired cocktails and half the reason I come here is the bartender Ben, who every now and then pitches experimental drinks which turn out great! Sitting at the bar when he's there is awesome, he chats with customers, smokes drinks. I always look for to coming back!
