Pariya Chayasakulviwat met chef Pornthep Jarumpornsakul while both were working at Park Slope's Rice Thai Kitchen, and since then, the two have gone on to open EM Thai Kitchen in Carroll Gardens. They’re also partners in the tiny Kensington takeout joint AM Thai Chili Basil Kitchen, where Jarumpornsakul’s wife, Num, has earned a devoted following with her own cooking. Their first Manhattan venture is the comparatively glitzy Bodhi Tree in the East Village. The menu covers territory both familiar (satays, tom kha) and less so, listing such intriguing dishes as sauteed garlic and Asian chives wrapped in a steamed-rice-noodle skin, fettuccine with Thai-dill-cabbage sauce, and grilled honey pork with white beans and tofu in Thai-five-spice-cinnamon brown sauce. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I looked up this restaurant because I was craving Thai, and saw that it had great reviews so I checked it out. The previous reviewers were right: this place is great! The atmosphere is pretty chill and the decorations are colorful. The food my friend and I ordered was all delicious, especially considering the price. I got the ginger sauté with vegetarian duck, and it was only $9 and plenty of food. The drinks are good, too, and I suggest trying the lychee martini. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying out Bodhi Tree, and I am sure I will be back soon.

Stopped in here today for a late Sunday afternoon lunch. Wasn't expecting much, but the decor was really cute and I'm always looking for decent Thai in the East Village so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that the food was not only a great bargain at $7 for two apps and an entree, but delicious with just the right amount of heat. Plus, our drinks were half off too. Yum! Will definitely be going back!
