“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.“
“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??“
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!“
“I love coming here on my lunch break. They have a lunch special, a small app and then a full entree for 10.95! I usually get the spring rolls, but I always change up what I eat as the main because the food is amazing here. Also! It’s mango sticky rice season, please eat it, I am obsessed!!!!“
“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.“
“We order take out from here often but dined in before too. The things we order most often are the Larb Salad, the Tom Kha, the short rib either in Khao Soi (as pictured here) or the curry version, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, basil rice. I like how they have the options of crispy pork belly and crispy duck but after trying it 3-4 times, it's almost always overcooked and dry. Almost like it's been refried several times and becomes tough. Instead I'd recommend the rib since it's pretty tender. Definitely get Khanom Tuay if you like coconut, mochi-like, dessert.“
“Cute restaurant and great service. Chicken curry puffs were made with mochi (or tasted like) which was interesting.Sriracha wings and the pork skewers did not impress us.The garlic steak stir fried udon was pretty good, I asked for it to be more “al dente” and I think they tried.“
“Lemongrass is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in the city. From the service (I hope you get Frank as your waiter <amazing>), food (Whole Red snap is goals) , atmosphere (so ig worthy)!!! Great place for couples, girls dinner etc.I promise you’ll come back to this one!!Vegetarian options: Many choicesDietary restrictions: Let them know what you’re allergic to in advance“
“i’m from philadelphia and i frequent brooklyn a lot. this place is always on the list for dinner! i get the lemongrass fried rice with fresh grilled salmon, and it is amazing! by far the best thai restaurant i’ve EVER been to. some nights i dream of the food ����“
“Very nice Thai restaurant! Had the lunch special the other day and it was super good value. Their lunch special might be a dollar or two more expensive than some others, but the ingredients are definitely more superior. Well worth the money. Excellent!“
“The staff is one of the kindest in the neighborhood.The food is amazing, so are the drinks.It’s an authentic thai restaurant with quality ingredients.Variety of drinks (alcoholic/none) as well as food options.We’ve been going there since they opened & love it!“
“Delicious authentic Thai food inspired by the vibrant floating markets of Thailand in a great location in Brooklyn and the service was friendly and attentive. The establishment isn't overly decorated or saturated with themed decor but has subtle hints of Thai culture throughout the restaurant which is nice. It has a cozy and intimate feel but it's super casual.On the menu:Mama Tom Yum grilled river prawnsCrying TigerShrimp DonutsDuck CrepeFloating marketWatermelon mojitoMango sticky riceThe food was delicious but the drinks were lacking in flavor as they both were unsweetened. Not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient because both drinks were almost like drinking a seltzer. Very pretty but lacked flavor.Overall 9/10Ig: Thefunfluencer“
“casual vibe, with much more than casual flavor. the taste of the wok's fire truly comes through. good doses of fish sauce in the noodles. Thai food has become as ubiquitous as Chinese, and you get used to generic and uninspired restaurants. but this is in the top 1% of Thai places in the area. very impressed. service was also very friendly“
“Absokutely loved this for a quick grab!The pork belly buns: 8.5/10The seasoning tasted almost like korean fried chicken or bulgogi seasoning? Very good but definitey messy to eat!Fish bucket: 9/10Pretty filling. Has veggies and rice, which really makes it a whole meal on its own!“
“Holic Thaj is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. I’ve been several times over the past year and the dishes are always flavorful. I recommend the chive pancakes, panang curry, drunkin noodles and/or crab fried rice. There’s also a variety of options for my plant based friends. Lastly, the ambience is jazzy/homey, the owner is very personableand the staff is so sweet. Hope you guys enjoy!“
“Pad thai and thai iced tea were very good. Not quite as good as the best in Thailand, but better than most places you find in the US.Very filling too. I finished the plate, but probably ate too much.The tea was a tad on the sweet side but still very drinkable. Staff very friendly.Be careful on the tip. Their machine puts 30%! in the default position.“
“It’s all about the prawns. Giant, jumbo sized almost as big as a lobster. Buttery, rich, huge grilled prawns.I’ve also had and can recommend:- larb with fried duck skin- rib eye- soft shell crab curryBut again it’s the giant prawn that steals the show. They even have a giant blue prawn in the back of the restaurant hanging from the ceiling. It’s a sign. Get the prawns.“
“Lovely addition to a neighborhood that has too many bland food options! The coconut kare came in a real coconut with actual coconut pieces, so delicious. The Thai tea cake was light and not too sweet with great flavor. Service was a little slow but they are new and figuring it out. Glad to see this place open!“
“What a nice and cozy atmosphere in Little Tiffin! a big plus is that it's located directly at the subway station, so you can just hop in after work and get some foot for dinner. The food is super delicious and fresh. We had Pad See Ew, Gang Massaman and Khanoom Jeeb Pak (like Gyoza, see Photo) and we recommend all of it. The service is very friendly and we will definitely be coming back!“
“The khao soi is out of this world. Reminded me of the first time I had it in Chiang Mai.Everything about this place is stellar. Food is obviously top tier, but all the decor and the heavy red ambience is so perfect. Best Thai restaurant I’ve been to in Brooklyn.“
“guy at the front just needs to stop profiling and being racist whenever a male of color walks in to order. He'll seat you and ask if you're done ordering or if you have anything else in mind to order after you already paid. Also when you call. He mocks a certain tone as if he doesn't hear you asking what to order but then when you repeat what he says after he already heard give order, he hangs up. It's super uncalled for. Better MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE but overall the food is amazing !!!!! Chai tea needs to be less expensive btw. Ambiance is boring and not meant for seating so for the most part it's great to order because the food is amazing“
“Do you need food fast? Do you need it delivered or can I go to the space and eat? This space covers all bases. The food is always fresh and hot, when they say the "spicy" they mean it! I have gone through all of the rice dishes, soups and now I'm in the Pad Thai! I prefer to dine in because the drinks are good and the service is always with a smile. Shouts to the crew! You do not want to pass this spot up For good consistent Thai!“
“Act One is a bit out of the way, but worth getting to for delicious Thai food. My partner and I went last night. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The service is exceptional and the food was fantastic. Unlike many Thai restaurants, we weren't rushed, the plates were served one at a time at our request and they didn't bring the check until we asked. We were very comfortable and look forward to going there again in the near future.“
“Fantastic hidden gem of a thai restaurant!Extremely well-lit, clean, and orderly appearing the moment you walk in. This probably isn't the ideal setting if you're looking for a "restaurant style experience", but there are several small tables you can sit down to eat at. It seems the majority of the business is take-out.I have ordered several times in recent weeks. And the food was delicious! I tend to order the spring rolls, as an appetizer, and my favorite dish, Kee Mao with Chicken (this is often known as "Drunken Noodles") as my main course. I have also tried the Pad Thai, and a few other items on the menu.Absolutely tasty, hits the spot, reasonable pricing, and super-quick.One other thing.. and this is the most important; outstanding, incredibly pleasant customer service. I was greeted warmly upon entering, and was thanked very sincerely as I received my order....with a smile. This means alot to me, and helps me decide where to spend my money. They deserve it here.If you're used to ordering Chinese Take-out all the time, and want a real change of pace, make the switch! Give Thai Tai a try!“
“I had a wonderful lunch with family. The drinks and food were prepared very well and had great presentation on the plate. The Honolulu fried rice the molten lava cake dessert were amazing. The shrimls perfectly fried and the ice cream was homemade and not too sweet. The servers were also patient and helpful in helping us choose an appetizer & entrée (thanks Cherry). The most beautiful thing about this place is the elegant and peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend ?? and I will be returning again soon.“
“Despite the colorful appearance, these dishes were a bit light in taste and spice for me. I do recommend the appetizer platter though, as some of the bites (like the thai sausage) had great depth and flavor that the other dishes lacked.The decor is cozy and the Boran staff is kind.“
“A Gem with Delicious FoodThis tiny Thai restaurant is a hidden gem! Don't be fooled by the limited seating - the atmosphere is absolutely adorable and the owner is so friendly. The food is incredible, especially the shrimp rolls and drunken noodles. Both were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Everything tasted fresh and savory.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Thai meal in Brooklyn.“
“Dropped by for lunch on break from work. WOW. What a slam dunk in design aesthetic and continuity throughout materials, service, food, and value. Decrease ? volume and increase soup heat and it was the perfect visit. I actually look forward to returning for a drink and dinner sometime. Lovely ??“
“Stumbled upon this amazing Michelin star spot for my husband's birthday. It's the perfect place to have a group dinner with all the family style dishes. Spice us on point, and the curries were full of flavor. I think we tried everything on the menu, and there isn't a single thing I would not get again.“
“I'm usually a little skeptical of street cart food but reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. I got tofu pad see ew and it was super flavorful and the perfect portion at only $11. I was there around 230pm and there was no line so the food came out super quick. Since this is walking distance from my job I will definitely be back soon!“
“Update**Sometimes you need to give a place a break and try again - had a dish all greens ..I am not vegetarian or vegan but there are days you would think so.. Anyway ,the dish was sautéd asparagus, bamboo shoots, Chinese broccoli, green beans...not a bunch of raw onions or garlic (yay) but it was delicious, coupled with a small side of Jazmine rice. Thank You!“
“Their bao buns are superb bro specifically the pork one. The pork is just so tender and the bread so soft. They have a really nicely lit place so there’s a bit of led light vibes going on. Their bathroom is the CUTESTTTT I attached a video. I haven’t been on their patio but that’s probably cool too. I will be going back several times and already have lol.“
“We had our favorite duck dish last night from Amarin Cafe. I had pre-ordered it, because it often sells out, but arrived an hour early because I was looking at a clock I had not yet set back! They graciously agreed to get started on it right away, so I walked around the block, and it was done.“
“This place from start to finish was amazing with a warm old school/ holiday ambience. Imagine sitting in your living room on a porch on a nice day with nice music and food. The Thai food was all fresh and the service was great. The food came out fast and prompt. Our waitress was attentive and informative. I had the drunken noodles with crispy shrimp and my friend had the pad Thai which were both delicious but a tad bit Spicy which was good. If you don’t like spice tell them to make it less spicy. We also had the calamari and wings. All in which we’re good. We followed our lunch with with dessert which was paired with a sticky rice with mango and the flavors were out of this world. I’ll definitely will recommend to anyone in the area !!! FRESH FRESH FRESH . With the culture of THAI ! Thank you all for wonderful service“
“One of my favorite Thai places in the neighborhood! Everything was made with love, including the papaya salad, green curry, and vegetables basil. My favorite dish of my visit was the pa kee mao with the tofu. The noodles were so chewy and the tofu was so flavorful! Plus the staff was thr nicest person I’ve ever met!“
“Dine in for a delightfully springlike experience, even when it’s cold outside. I recently stopped in to order take out and decided to stay for the ambience. Vintage plates and gold flatware, florals cascading from the ceiling, and the aroma of Asian spices and great customer service. And it’s HALAL!I had to stay a while! Oh and the food was delicious also. I went for the Shrimp Pad Thai since it was my first time in this restaurant and the dish was fresh and filling. Support this small business with a visit and enjoy it for yourself!“
“The food here is delicious! Some of my personal favorites are the chicken chasew, pad see ew, Tom yum, and Ricepot pad Thai. Every time I try something from this place I am always served amazing food. Give this place a chance, their food is of great quality !!“
“Finally able to get the Thai flavors i have been looking all over nyc for. Not overly sweet or bland with too much fish sauce. The beef salad was perfect, if you're into that. The tom ka gai was finally not sweet like other places! Thank you Thai Ros Thip, i am you new regular “
“My friend and I were at the NYC transit museum nearby and stumbled in here on a rainy day. The food was absolutely incredible, specifically the chive pancakes and cashew nut saute which we got with steamed tofu. Also their lunch special has a phenomenal vegetable soup. Servers are very kind and food came out quickly. Very much recommend.“
“The Red curry Vegetable is always so hot, fresh and the taste is amazing. They deliver to your front door if you have cash and they deliver if you go to their website and pay using your debit card/credit card. Great place to eat and very good prices for Thai.“
“I don’t go to Brooklyn very much but my daughter and I lucked out when we found this place. The food was terrific and the prices were as well. The staff was welcoming and attentive. It has a great vibe. I might find my way to Bushwick more often just to go back. Highly recommended.“
“Very impressed by their flavorful curry dishes, and very friendly service! Would absolutely come back to try more of their menu!4.5/5 Massaman Curry -- loved the spices in this curry (very mildly spicy - especially great for those who have a lower spice tolerance), roasted peanuts and fried onions were a very nice touch as well.4.2/5 Penang Curry -- also very flavorful, 2/5 on the spicy scale, tons of beef and veggiesBarstool counter seating with quick service and attentive staff members!“
“Very clean and beautiful Thai restaurant in the middle of a chaotic subway train station. It was refreshing to go inside to get away from the noise. The lunch special was decent. The Pad Thai has a good size, and delicious. The soup was a little too salty, over flavored. Be aware about the PRICING since they charge 18% of tip already. The lunch special price, plus tax and tip. Didn’t feel like “Lunch Special”, it was more like getting a free soup with the dish.“
“We went to Cafe Chili for dinner and had such a great experience. Service was great as our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food we had was delicious! For starters, we had the coconut shrimp and the corn fritters (which were my favorite - I would have had another order!). For entrées, we had the pork chops and the green curry with crispy duck. Both portions were very generous and we had enough left over to take home. Even though we were both stuffed, we still ordered dessert and were so glad we did. Definitely order dessert.“
“Love the food & service! The servers do their absolute best for the customers and always make you feel welcomed. One of my favorite go to's for lunch. Menu is consistent and food is always delicious!! Definitely a great place for sushi!!“
“Words can't describe the greatness of Williamsburg Thai Cuisine. All the members of this restaurant are like family, a sweetest place to go, the team is friendly from the kitchen to the delivery person, the front desk and waitress team are a lovely souls, you will feel like home, but not only that, I'm not lying when I say is The best place to enjoy a very delicious food, all the plates in the menu are delicious, all of them; I highly recommend the Pineapple fried rice with any protein you select, also the Tom Kha Soup if you want a small soup, in my picture is the Kao Soy Noodle Soup not too spicy, the grilled beef salad is really good as well; For drinks my favorite one is Thai ice tea with bubbles and the Taro milk tea. And another thing! The price is really good!I recommend it if you have a date this is a nice spot at night and is not noisy to enjoy conversations under a warm light.Please enjoy your visit here in the great location in Bedford Ave.Vegetarian options: I'm not vegetarian, but there is a plenty options.Dietary restrictions: The staff will help you with all the dietary restrictions as you need, please let them know before they get in to the kitchenKid-friendliness: A place to enjoy with all family members. Usually the lunch time will be the most common hour where you see kids.“
“Recommend the Bento Box specials - excellent value given the quality & amount of food. Last week I had the Teriyaki Lunch Special Bento box with salmon, miso soup and brown rice. For under 13$ I'd have to say it's an amazing deal ! The salmon was cooked perfectly & came with 2 shumai shrimp dumplings, 4 pieces of California roll, and steamed edamame, along with rice and miso soup. Delivery was quick too. I've tried the Thai food from here also, it's fine for a quick lunch, but the Bento box is such a better value it's no contest. I'm definitely getting the Bento box when I go here next time.“
“Chili paste soup was staggering- full on heat but layered with sweet, tart, a perfect combination....very accommodating (I asked if they could sub chicken for shrimp waitress didn't bat an eye) can't wait to check out the rest of the menu.“
“It was my first time trying green lake restaurant and it didn't disappoint in taste and quantity. I had enough to save to eat for later. I'll just have to remember to tell them to put the tomato and cucumber salad on the side. I look forward to ordering again to try other options on the menu.“
“Fantastic cocktails,Excellent quality on classics like chive pancakes, fried soft shell grabs and mango sticky rice.Interesting dishes like short rib ramen(spicy af!), custard pumpkin dessert.Clay pot was a bit of a miss for me, but I could have unfair standards as a canto man. Not enough flavor.Overall, a delicious evening with attentive service. Would definitely come back“
