This Thai spot is consistently amazing. The food comes out super fast, and it’s always packed with flavor. There’s only one chef running the whole place—he handles both the kitchen and front of house. He looks pretty serious, and I swear new customers always get a little intimidated by him 😅 My friends and I jokingly call him “the angry Thai chef” —but honestly, his cooking is beyond legit.
The dishes have real wok hei (that delicious smoky stir-fry flavor!), and everything is absolutely spot-on. Sitting inside the restaurant felt like I was instantly transported back to Bangkok—same taste, same music, same vibe. The decor is kind of retro, and you can tell the chef put a lot of heart into the place. He seems like someone with a lot of stories, quietly taking care of his little hidden gem.
You have to give this place a try. Don’t be scared off by his serious face—he’s a genius in the kitchen.
Highly recommend the chicken rice bowl—it comes with a side of soup too. Just a heads-up: the Thai iced tea doesn’t come with milk and is super sweet, so order with caution 😄 But overall, this place is full of charm. If you take your time and really savor the food, it’s basically like taking a quick trip to Bangkok without leaving town 🇹🇭💛

Sunday evening 6.15pm, traveled all the way to the restaurant just to find that it’s closed when the info on the website and google says it’s open. I was rlly looking forward but this ruined my day. Very unprofessional and wasted of my time. Truly disappointing

Absolutely try this place! It’s a one-man show, so you will need to seat yourself and grab menus, but the food is mind-blowing! We tried the Kari with crab meat, morning market noodles with chicken, and fried spring rolls, and everything was flavorful.

This is some good Thai food. It’s not going to taste like your average Thai spot because this guy is serious about his ingredients. Can’t wait to eat again.

Great food run by a local Thai with an authentic feel. Price is incredible, I recommend eating there as opposed to the to-go option.

I almost don't want to review this place because it's so good and I don't want it to be packed every time I go but it's honestly too good not to give it the five stars it deserves. The food is exceptional (Great vegan options like tofu steak/tofu pad Thai) and the vibe of the place is great. (Good music/art on the walls)
We decided to try this place since it is ranked #13 restaurants in East Harlem. We are pleasantly surprised to eat an authentic flavorful Thai food. We had shrimp pad Thai, crab meat pad Thai and spring rolls. They are full of large shrimps and crab meats.
We will definitely come again.

10/10 one of the best restaurants in New York City. Great vegan options too. The khao mun and coconut tamarind noodles are so delicious.

WOW—last night, I had to have some Thai. My body was craving for some Green Curry. Some Papaya salad. I had the need… 😌
Google said Bangklyn, 🤔. I never heard of it before. I checked the reviews—authentic, bold, truly Thai. That’s all the review I needed
Yummmmm, It was 😊. Absolutely amazing. 🔥 Incredible chef-owner 🔥 Huge plates, even bigger flavors 🔥 Green curry with crab meat 🦀 🔥 Som Tam with fresh papaya 🥗
This place is a must-visit. A true hidden gem 💎
