“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Busy spot with quick and easy service. Fun range in cocktails, crab fried rice is delicious and they had pork cheeks (served with thai chili slices and ginger, which was perfect), which is one of my favorite appetizers.

All flavorful“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“I LOVE this pretty jewel box of a Thai restaurant. It's the go to for me and my gf whenever we visit the Brooklyn Museum, or are in the mood for delicious, affordable Thai food in a lovely setting . The place is gorgeous : the walls are in deep teal with gold leaf overlay. There are chandeliers and gold candelabras with fresh flowers at the up lit bar. Fabulous for a date night but also family friendly when the sun is up. The staff are solicitous but not pushy. But the food is what truly stands out. Beautifully plated and always tasty, you cannot go wrong with whatever you choose. My friend and I are both wild about the tangy roast pork with sticky rice. Sooooooo good!! And they make great cocktails. You should definitely go!!“

“Excellent food and service“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“Authentic Thai cuisine with amazing portions. Staff was so friendly and loved that he knew what we wanted to try and gave us great recommendations. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area.“

“The BEST Thai I’ve had in New York. I had an issue with a pickup order recently, & I reached out to them on instagram. Their customer service went above & beyond to make it right. Food is so good, & love that you can customize the pad thai to exclude egg.“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“Sooooo good!“

“My daughter graduated college and this was her choice for a family dinner after such a long day! Such an amazing experience. From the second we arrived until we left service was excellent. Thai food was delicious and the cocktails were unique and highly recommended. We had a decent size party and they accommodated us comfortably and every one of us enjoyed our meals.“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

“A true hidden gem in Brooklyn!! The food is top tier, taking Thai food to another level, but also has the classics for those who are looking for a comfort meal. We got the scallops and spicy fries for apps (would probably skip the fries, were good much better things on the menu). Got the crab curry noodles and lamb and both were 10000/10.

The atmosphere inside was a vibe even on a rainy day.

The service was 10/10. The young gentleman was so kind and helped us pick out the best items from the menu. He was attentive which was appreciated.

Lastly, I came with my newborn baby and stroller for brunch/early dinner and they were extremely accommodating and welcoming. We had no issues or pushback even though this was a higher end restaurant.“

“Love the food and service Great place to go back again!!!!!“

“Good place for Thai twisted food. We got Krapow burger and Thai tea. Burger was good, the spicy was kicked! But the Thai tea was quite fade for me. The restaurant was cute and cozy. They have few tables, inside looks so clean. They have cute merchs as well, like some shirts and tote bags. I want to go back and try their holy basil stir fried and crispy pork belly.“

“Food is del. Quality food made with fresh ingredients. Best Thai food in queens in my opinion“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“The Tom Kha soup was delicious and subtle, and the beef Pad See Eew was lovely - not too heavy. Our server Pie was very attentive, friendly and efficient. Nice ambiance, also; nice lighting and good level on the music. Thank you - we’ll be back!“

“This place is a true gem. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. Cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there’s real passion behind everything here. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!“

“This Thai restaurant in the Broadway, Brooklyn area is truly unique. We stopped in for dinner around 9 PM, and as expected in New York, parking was tricky—we ended up parking about half a mile away and walking.

The ambiance stood out immediately: very dimly lit, almost to the point where you could barely see your food, with low, close-set tables and eclectic décor. A Thai movie was projected on a big screen (without sound), which added to the charm. However, we were seated next to a rack filled with condiments, possibly fish sauce, which gave off a strong odor that was a little distracting.

For appetizers, we tried the steamed dumplings (shumai style), stuffed with chicken and shrimp. They arrived hot, juicy, and perfectly steamed, with a light soy-based dipping sauce—simple but excellent. For my main, I ordered my go-to Thai dish: minced meat with basil, served with rice. The portion was generous enough that I had leftovers for lunch the next day. It was flavorful, though I wished for a bit more chili heat and a stronger punch of basil. A fried egg on top would have been the perfect touch but was missing. My husband chose a soupy noodle dish with a curry-like broth and chicken. The broth was mild but aromatic, the chicken tender, and the fried noodles added nice texture. The menu itself was fairly small but thoughtfully curated, with some interesting options like Wagyu beef.

Overall, despite the very dim lighting and the occasional strong condiment smell, the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I’d recommend this spot for anyone looking for a slightly off-beat but tasty Thai dining experience in Brooklyn.“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“The food is really great. The atmosphere is cozy its definitely a local vibe. The service can use some improvements. The restaurant is usually pretty busy and sometimes they don't have enough service staff which can then overwhelm the only individual working“

“I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy.
Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.“

“A small, cozy, authentic Thai restaurant. We came here for an early dinner (around 5:00pm) and were able to get a table right away. I’m glad ate early because all the tables around us were reserved as we were leaving at 6:15pm.

The service was friendly and fast. For appetizers, we ordered the Khanom Jeep (fried chicken and shrimp dumplings) and the Tom Kha soup. Both were delicious and since it was cold outside, we definitely appreciated that the soup was hot when it arrived at the table. For drinks we ordered a Thai iced coffee (very strong coffee) and a hot Thai tea (flavor was good but it was lukewarm and not actually hot).

We ordered shrimp Pad See Ew with a little bit of spice and it was perfect. The noodles were glossy and flavorful and there was just a mild touch of heat. We also ordered the Crab Curry dish and it had a nice curry flavor. It didn’t taste very crabby but there was definitely a kick of spiciness with strong flavors of basil and coconut. Highly recommend this restaurant and we definitely plan on coming back to try some of the other noodle and curry dishes.“

“This was an amazing and fun experience. The food and drinks were amazing. It was a real food and cultural journey and I loved the concept of this restaurant. I recommend folks to open your mind and enjoy the ride. It’s worth it and I can’t wait to go back with other friends!“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“I had the hainanese chicken with liver over gingered rice, really well executed and super delicious. Absolutely loved the taro in coconut milk too , not too sweet, lands all the flavors I wanted in taro. Service was speedy and attentive, I highly recommend this place.“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“😍 The food is fantastic , also the service i enjoyed the whole brunch with friends“

“Very pleasant experience! Food was delicious, my kids loved every moment, and the ambience 😍“

“Tried this Thai restaurant in Sunnyside and it didn’t disappoint. The thai fried rice & green curry were flavorful & met my taste expectations. The curry puff had a perfectly flaky crust, & the pumpkin custard dessert was a sweet, satisfying finish. Overall, a good choice for tasty Thai food.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“Delicious food, delicious Thai-Laos flavor. Recommend to come to this restaurant you won't be disappointed.🤟👍“

“My wife and I love this place. Usually get take out but dined in recently and absolutely loved it. We started with their Appetizer Combo that includes curry puffs, crab rangoons, chive pancakes and spring rolls, then had spicy Chicken Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice with Chicken. Everything is fresh and packed with flavor, which pairs well with their Thai Iced Teas. The owner/cook/server extraordinaire is super sweet too! Would highly recommend!“

“Shorty and my first date spot. Have a draft singha while you wait. Under the weather on a Rainy day. Beer and Tom Yom is what the Thai Dr. Ordered.

Good for take out. Tom yom soup (not too spicy) and spring rolls. Soup has a lot of those little mushrooms. Pineapple rice has big pieces of shrimp.“
