Despite a rainy day and a mediocrely designed logo, my low expectations were delightfully challenged by The Nuua Table's Thai brunch menu, a unique concept I had never encountered before, and one that greatly piqued my curiosity. From its unassuming exterior, I did not expect the extraordinary experience that unfolded.
Greeted and seated, we immediately discovered an ambiance beyond expectation. It was clean, woody, filled with greenery and deep orange accents, all bathed in warm light. Despite being packed, it was not loud. Every detail, from the Thai inspired fork and sea city patterned napkins to the pretty striped cups and the rainbow window on the door, showcased immense effort and care.
We started with Spicy Fries, Pan Seared Vegetable Dumplings, and Pink Grapefruit Salad, all beautifully presented and delicious. The grapefruit salad, though sweet, was perfectly balanced by fish sauce. While I was not a huge fan of the good dumplings, my friends loved them. The fries were thick, perfectly crispy outside, and soft and creamy inside. It was clear the chef masterfully understood the ingredients, prompting us to order an additional entree (the Roasted Mushroom Noodle Bowl).
All entrees were beautifully executed, suggesting upscale restaurant experience. The Roasted Mushroom Noodle Bowl was delicious, savory, and sweet, with a subtle lingering spice, even for a non mushroom lover. The Egg Toast was a great Thai pancake interpretation, savory and pleasantly fishy, with crispy boiled egg for texture; highly recommended. The Chicken Kuay Teow Kua and Shrimp Pad Thai were just okay; I would suggest exploring other, more interesting options here.
We could not leave without dessert. The sole option available was delicious; its meringue, surprisingly light, and a creamy, subtly spiced part made for an interesting flavor. We were all happy, though we wished we had tried other main dishes instead of the Chicken Kuay Teow Kua and Shrimp Pad Thai.
Our unnamed server was exceptional: proactively refilling water, describing dishes well, and even swapping plates after starters. His hawk like attentiveness meant we only needed to ask for the check. The check itself was presented in a cute folder, featuring an illustration of the restaurant door. Despite many tables, their work ethic was incredible. 10 out of 10.
The bathroom was perfection: super clean, smelling of citrus gum, with a thoughtful orchid plant, that aligns with the cuisine. A last check up trip was a delightful cherry on top.
I highly recommend The Nuua Table and will absolutely return, even going out of my way to try their dinner menu and interesting cocktails. Discovering this truly wonderful Brooklyn restaurant was a joy. Perhaps a logo redesign could better reflect the incredible craftsmanship of their interior and meticulously presented food.

The food was great, I had the spicy noodles, which was delicious. And I could choose the spice level. The desert was very interestingly good and served with ginger ice cream. It looked like wiped cream, but the Inside is soft like Cotten candy, the outside was like hard Cotten candy. I loved the decor on the restaurant as well.

Hands down, this food deserves a Michelin star—no idea how it hasn’t gotten one yet. Everything from the plating to the flavors is just next-level.
Went for dinner the other night because the outside looked so cute, and I’m so glad I did. This is easily the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten in my life… and I’ve been eating Thai food for over 10 years—including in Thailand.
The vibe inside is incredible: warm wood walls, classic black-and-white tile, super cozy and stylish. We started at the bar where our waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming. My girlfriend and I had a Thai tea and a lemongrass tea—both were unreal.
Then we went all in on the food, trying a little bit of everything. The presentation is actual art. Everything we ordered was stupid good: • Peanut dumplings • Duck lollipop • Duck buns • Veggie dumplings • Spicy Brussels sprouts • Crab curry noodles • Shrimp pad Thai • Crispy rice • Whatever dessert we had (see photo)—absolutely wild.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Bonus points: the bathroom was super clean and smelled amazing. The staff was not only incredibly friendly but also sharply dressed.. just an all-around 10/10 experience. If I had to pick a last meal, it’s coming from here.

Never had a bad meal here!

This place is magical and full of surprises. I let the staff offer for me and my date and we won the lottery with our waitress and the menu clearly had to chance to miss… I’ll be here a lot

The place is cozy and quaint with live plants which adds a nice touch. The acoustics are live so the sound carries and it can be hard to hear the person across from you, but that would be my only complaint. The food and service were fantastic. As well as the presentation of the food. It was also nice that it was an open streets day so there was less traffic and more people. I will definitely come back to try a few of their specialty drinks, a few Thai staples, and the Braised short Ribs!!!

We had a lovely dinner at Nuaa Table, and the flavors took us back to being in southeast asia, with an upscale vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed all our dishes, especially the purple eggplant off of the Street specials (which are also entree-sized but are in their own section beyond the entree section)
Friendly, polite, and accommodating staff, and wonderful ambience in this restaurant.

We’ve been ordering take out and dining in at Nuaa Table for years and it’s always been great whether we eat it there or at home.
Wow! Everything we ordered was supercharged with flavor…every bite a delight. The purple dumplings were small but a dream bite and a fantasy for the eye. Both rib dishes were happily gobbled up by the group - and don’t miss the chance to throw your side of rice in their sauces for some additional tasty bites. Will certainly come back to try what we didn’t get.

A quaint, modern Thai bistro hidden in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, offers charming outdoor seating decorated with twilight lighting. The restaurant serves traditional Thai cuisine, crafted with the heart and soul of their chef, but with a creative twist.
We began our meal with classic Thai dishes like Som Tum and Crispy Rice salad, both bursting with explosive flavors in every bites.
For the main course, we had Shrimp Pad Thai, which might look similar to what you'd find at other restaurants, but the complexity of flavors set it apart. Then came the highlight: Slow-braised Short Rib in Massaman curry. The tenderness of the meat, falling off the bone, paired with the aromatic Massaman curry, took the dish to a whole new level. We also tried a Giant Crab Curry dish, served with egg noodles, which packed an incredible punch.
We discovered this hidden gem through a friend, as the restaurant has no social media presence. Highly recommended—visit before the word gets out!

The banana blossom salad was just amazing. I would go back just to try more of the salads.
Gluten-free options are sadly lacking compared to other Thai restaurants in NYC - a lot of menu items are breaded or have non-GF soy sauce. The only GF mains are two basic curries and pad Thai, which are by far the least interesting items on the menu. Salads are all GF and, as previously mentioned, amazing.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are lacking, but staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

We went on a Friday evening with Friends had a quite the experience. We started out with Veggie Dumplings. Steamed Duck buns...the Hokkaido Scallop Ceviche, their specialty the Blossom Dumplings, all quite good. Then The Branzino and Spicy Thai Noodles with the Panacotta and rhubarb for desert. Highly recommend those in and around Brooklyn and prospect heights.
