Khe-yo

Came here with a group of 10 of us and here’s my take: This place was so good I would definitely comeback. My favorite starter was the Brussel sprouts and the pho was amazing. We had way more than this but my phone died :/ Was really comfortable seating especially for a large group and service was relatively fast.

I almost didn't write this review as I didn't want reservations to be any harder to come by. But Khe-Yo is deserving. Picture this. You arrive at Khe-Yo and you are seated. You scan the QR code and look at the menu of carefully crafted small plates and shareable large bites. The candles burn with just the right radiance, and the murmur of the restaurant's patrons are just audible enough for you to realize you aren't alone. You breathe deeply and order the Crunchy Coconut Rice Balls with Spicy Lime Leaf Sausage. You've done it. Laotian heaven is on the other side and your taste-buds will forever compare any and every other foodstuffs to what you just tasted. This is our experience every time we done at Khe-Yo, one of Tribeca's not-so-hidden gems and likely one of New York City's best asian-fusion restaurants. Yes the ambiance is great, but the star of the show is truly plated. Anyone leaving a bad review is either a paid actor or not talking about the cuisine. Run, don't walk to Khe-Yo and pray that Executive Chef Soulayphet Schwader doesn't get the inkling to try something new. Khe-Yo is a culinary delight and perfect for anniversaries, low-key birthdays or any other celebrations.

Delicious Laotian spot that is part of the Marc Forgione group. We came on a rainy Sunday and we’re quickly and warmly greeted. We had our choice of tables, but chose to sit at the bar. We ordered the Chili Brussel sprouts and a chicken bahn-mi which was more than enough for the two of us. The food was top notch at a great price and the staff was incredibly friendly! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant!

We recently had an amazing dining experience at Khe Yo in Tribeca! Let me tell you, it was fantastic. The flavors were out of this world, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a fun and enjoyable evening. We started with their chicken wing special, and they were absolutely delicious! The wings were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Next up were the steak noodles. Those noodles were a real treat! The steak was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the noodles. The dish had a great balance of flavors and textures. One of the highlights of the evening was the pork belly lettuce wraps. They were packed with flavor and made for a delightful and interactive eating experience. Wrapping the tender pork belly in fresh lettuce leaves and adding the accompanying sauce was just heavenly. And let's not forget about the Brussels sprouts! They were simply outstanding. Cooked to perfection, they had a nice char on the outside and a tender, flavorful interior. They were an excellent addition to the meal and added a wonderful touch of variety. Overall, the dining experience at Khe Yo was superb. The dishes were super flavorful, and it was so much fun to share them with my companions. The inside space is really beautiful too! I can't wait to go back and try more.

Service was good and the staff were very kind. I really liked the pork spring rolls but the chili crispy chicken had too much sauce for me. The serving size was very generous and it tasted quite good though. Lots of dishes here have cilantro so just keep that in mind if you want it separated from your dish!
