replying to u/Remarkable-World-234: Don’t happen to me but I witnessed kindness I will never forget at Thai Son on Baxter street. My favorite place for Vietnamese food. An elderly and frail lady walked in and was confused where she was at. Got separated from a group and was all alone. All she could remember was a phone number. Girl begins counter spoke to her in Vietnamese or Chinese. Sat her down and feed her for free. Called her son in sunset park Brooklyn, which was the only. Number she remembered. Called Local police and they showed up and drove Her all the way home to Sunset Park Brooklyn. Will always go to that restaurant.
“This is my favorite Vietnamese spot as well. Entire staff is incredibly nice.”

replying to u/cegras: Speaking of Vietnamese, what's the opinion here on Thai Son? I think it's pretty good, not the best I've had, but I don't mind going there. Lately, though, the prices are just so high, and the value isn't there anymore.
“It's always been a solid B+ for me, I'd rather go here than Madame Vo or Hanoi House.”
