This booth was brand new in WSM right before the shutdown happened. They were operating out of Spanish Town Market for a few weeks while securing a new location, and it looks like they settled on one of the empty spaces on Lee Drive.

I'm amped for this. Those developments are right down the street from me and have been very disappointing so far.

Their food is fantastic. So glad they found a location to re-open.

Is this going into one of the spots across from St. James Place or the shopping center near Rouse's?

By St. James Place

Will 100% become our go-to if Rama doesn't ever open back up. Haven't even tried the food yet, just that desperate for Thai food.

Saw them setting up the other day when I went by to try out Rice and Roux (very good, would recommend). They are in the old spot Halal Guys was in. Looks like a quality addition, excited to give this a try.

On April 26, they said coming in May. Two days ago they posted that they just have a few touch-ups left. So ideally soon!

I had some seafood curry type dish for them at white star that was outstanding. I would go back for that in a second.

Picked this up for lunch. Was good. Had the wrapped fried shrimp, the crab fried rice, and the massaman ribeye curry. The flavors were all really good. The only complaint was the ribeye. It was big chunks and pretty tough. I probably would have used a different cut of meat.

Got it for lunch today. I was pleasantly surprised by the Crab Fried Rice. Had a ton of blue crab meat in it.

Also got the chicken krapow khai doa mild heat. The one with Thai basil sauce. Was packed with flavor and had a great heat that built up as you ate it.

Saw on Social Media they are closing the Lee Drive location next week and relocating to New Orleans.

I enjoyed their food. Will be another loss for BR.
