We had a reservation for 7:30 pm, but our schedule changed and we ended up arriving around 5:00. The staff was incredibly accommodating and immediately helped arrange a table for us—no hesitation, no attitude, just genuinely helpful. Service throughout the meal was professional, responsive, and super informative. They gave thoughtful recommendations on different dishes and checked in at the right moments without being overbearing. Portion sizes were very generous. We had 6 adults and 1 kid, ordered only 6 dishes plus a few bowls of rice to share, and it was more than enough for everyone. We were pleasantly surprised by how filling everything was. Even better, the total came out to $185 including the automatically added 20% gratuity, which is honestly a great value for New York City. Solid food, excellent service, and very fair pricing—would absolutely come back.

The food taste so delicious, and very big portion. Also the waiters are nice and friendly. My friend drop a fork on the floor. He pick it up, and give another new one to my friend quickly. Thank you for giving us a wonderful evening time.

Crab fried rice was great, especially with the sauce. We got the large to share between 5 people and it was a ton of food. Highly recommend the krapow pla (fried branzino with vegetables), which I got for my entree. We all got something different and everyone was very happy with their food. Easily one of the best Thai places I've been to in the city.

Service was great; we wanted a quick meal and were in-and-out in under an hour. Green curry was great; tofu and salad specials were less remarkable. Glad we tried.

We had to wait 20 mins after our reservation time for a table. When out entrées arrived, we felt very rushed. Server kept on asking if we were done with each dish so she could take them away. The food had great flavors except the green curry was bland. Our favorite was the fried fish with the mango salad. The short ribs had a nice balance of five spice, surprise pieces of lotus seeds but the sauce was very rich. This was our second time dining at this restaurant. We will return but not anytime soon.

Our Tom Yum Soup was barely lukewarm, our duck dish was supposed to be medium spicy but it was high, and our club soda was flat. They said they use cans of soda but clearly they gave us the second half of a can that had been open b/c it was flat. They argued with us a little about it as if they didn't believe us that it was flat. Finally brought us a fresh one and it was clear the difference. Also, they didn't give us the whole can. Instead they charged us another $6 for a refill, essentially charging us $12 for a can of club soda. If you don't have soda out of the gun then it would be fair to charge for each can rather than refill. Essentially, things seemed overpriced for the value and taste. We've had much much better Thai food in NYC and certainly better dining experiences in general. Will not be returning.

Pretty disappointing—particularly given its Michelin rating. While the flavors were good, the crispy duck was more like chewy duck. The prices were astronomical, particularly for the serving size. First and last time.

We absolutely loved everything we had at Pranakhon. It felt very homely and there was a perfect balance of flavors in all the dishes that we ordered. We will definitely visiting again.

We really enjoyed the food we ordered; however, I was disappointed by our initial interaction with the first server who took our order. When we asked for food suggestions, he responded with, “You should know what you want,” which came across as dismissive and rude. When I asked about my drink and what aloe liqueur was, he replied, “Don't you know aloe vera?”—which made me feel uncomfortable for simply taking a moment to decide. The attitude was unwelcoming and not what I would expect from someone working in hospitality.

Upon arrival, my party was apparently already checked in. I told the host that whoever checked in was not me, not my party. We were given another table promptly, but it felt like they needed the table free again urgently. Everything was extremely rushed. We were given three starters, three mains, in less than 45 minutes. The check came before we could even ask for another round of drinks or dessert. I felt not welcomed.
This was possibly the best Thai food I"ve ever had! Charming waitstaff. Sitting on the upper level meant a slightly quieter auditory environment.

The food and service is great. The only thing I didn't like was after we finished eating they gave us our check without us asking for it. We were there only for 1 hr and they rushing us out
Neepa
The food was really good but the service was subpar. We felt so rushed even though we were there early they kept pressing us 90 minutes only and honestly it ruined a lot of the experience As part of a business dinner it was not helpful to be rushed when we were doing ok on time. Food 4/5

Thai green curry and the fried rice were excellent . The Tian Tofu vegetarian dish was a disappointment . It was sweet and bland and didnt match their description Service was great and ambience was lively and excellent. We took our own wine and were charged $30 corkage which was reasonable I am a vegetarian and would like to see some more vegetarian options on the menu

The most delicious Thai food! Very spicy and well seasoned. The phi thi mocktail is amazing as well! Great ambience and service.
