Private Room

Sappe's private dining room transforms your group gathering into an intimate Thai drinking den, where smoky skewers and expertly spiced small plates arrive in waves alongside carefully curated cocktails. The Chelsea spot's approach to group dining feels like being invited into a Bangkok speakeasy, with shareable plates of grilled meats and drinking snacks that encourage lingering conversations. Your party will find themselves ordering round after round of both food and drinks, making this the kind of dinner that stretches deliciously late into the evening.

  • birthday dinner
    Honestly Bentley was amazing! Celebrated my sisters birthday and the food and service could not have been better. If you are looking for spices, zing, and great atmosphere hands down a yes! If you spend 500+ you can get a private room. Will absolutely be back fantastic experience. Everyone was raving and will for the weeks to come
  • birthday dinner, party of 7
    I went to this restaurant on June 27, 2026, to celebrate my birthday. I had a reservation made 9 days in advance for 7 people, but only 6 of us attended. Four people arrived early for our 7:30 p.m. reservation, but they were not allowed in because the whole group was required. This was never mentioned when I booked or when the reservation was confirmed. Due to a delay on my end (I live in NJ), we were later moved from our indoor table to an outdoor one. The service felt a bit rushed at the beginning, with pressure to order main dishes while we were still having drinks and appetizers. Later, another server improved the experience by offering complimentary shots, which helped the atmosphere. The food was mixed—some dishes were good, others just okay—and the drinks were not my favorite. Overall, it was an average experience: fine to try once, but I wouldn’t necessarily go back.
  • birthday dinner
    Great for a birthday! Big menu and everything was a hit. They helped us surprise our friend for our birthday. Our server Oabi was also fantastic and helped our large party with kind and attentive service
  • large party dinner
    Chokun was excellent service to our large party. Everyone left full and happy.
  • large party dinner
    Came in with a large party and the food was amazing and our server Bentley was the best! He really went above and beyond for us to have a good time :)
