    Appetizer Platter
    Ga Hing C.

    After a friend recommended this place and said it had good authentic Thai food, I had to try it. I've been here few times and it's definitely good. Some of my favorites dishes are the appetizer sampler (a must if you go with a lot of people) and the pad thai Boran (different from their regular pad thai). Highly recommended!

    I can't believe this place doesn't have five stars across the board! We stopped in to escape a snowstorm on a Sunday late afternoon and it was nearly empty, super quiet and tranquil which is just what we needed. The staff were kind and the décor felt distinctive but nostalgic. I got the Meang Pla Tod (mackerel appetizer) and the Khao Knook Gapi. The appetizer was served in porcelain soup spoons with a pile of noodles and piece of fish each, to which you could add the spicy sauce. Very flavorful, a nice way to start the meal and try a fish I don't usually have prepared in a traditional way (reminded me a bit of the Korean breaded fried mackerel dish). But the standout for me was the main dish, which had shredded mango, scallions, cucumber, fried rice, juicy sausage, and flavorful pork to mix all together almost like a bibimbap. It was the perfect amount of food, the flavors were married beautifully, and the meat in particular was like nothing else I've ever tried. It was just such a cozy hidden gem in Carroll Gardens, and I want to try so many other things like the pad thai and duck curries. So delicious, quite reasonable pricing, a calming atmosphere. Truly a can't miss experience.

    Pad Thai Boran with tofu

    I came here for dinner as a back-up option after failing to get into Ugly Baby, a renowned nearby NYC Thai restaurant that was closing that week. It's a small, but cozy restaurant adorned with bright decorations and colorful plates. To eat, I had pad thai with tofu. They uniquely prepare this classic dish by covering the noodles with a blanket of fried egg. The peanuts, scallions, and crushed pepper are arranged on the sides of the plate for mixing in. It was very tasty and included a generous portion of chewy tofu. Service was fast, though our waitress was a bit curt.

    Boran has to be my favorite Thai restaurant in NYC. Maybe even one of my top 10 favorite restaurants of all time. I came here on a Saturday around 2:30 PM with a group of six for lunch. The wait was about 30 minutes. There's no indoor waiting area, so we had to wait outside. There's parking nearby so you can also wait in your car until they text you that your table is ready. We ordered the mixed appetizer platter, fresh young coconut green curry with chicken, duck garlic, maing pla tod (their signature fish), crab meat fried rice, and beef pad Thai. Mixed Appetizer Platter: This is a must if you're indecisive and want to sample all the appetizers. It came with chicken satay, grilled honey pork, sausages, fried crab dumplings, curry puffs, steamed tapioca with sweet ground pork, and shrimp rolls. Plus, four dipping sauces to mix and match. It's perfect for sharing or just treating yourself to a little bit of everything. Fresh Young Coconut Green Curry with Chicken: You can pick your protein (we chose chicken), and they don't skimp on the chicken. The coconut flavor came through strong, but the curry itself wasn't as bold as I expected. It had a bit of heat, but nothing overwhelming. This used to come with sticky rice, but now it's served with regular white rice. I wish this came with sticky rice again. Duck Garlic: This dish was a standout! The duck was tender with crispy skin and served over Chinese broccoli soaked in a rich, flavorful sauce. Every bite was perfection. Maing Pla Tod (Signature Fish Dish): The fish was already cut into pieces (no bones!), making it super easy to eat, but they left the whole fish intact for presentation. The flavors were amazingggg, a mix of sweet and salty. Add a pepper if you want some spicy. Crab Meat Fried Rice: This dish was simple but so well done. It came with plenty of crab meat on top, and the sauce and lime were served on the side so we could customize it. A drizzle of sauce and a squeeze of lime made all the flavors come together. Beef Pad Thai: The presentation was so unique!The noodles were wrapped in an egg "blanket," and you had to cut it open to get to the Pad Thai inside. The toppings (chili flakes, peanuts, lime, bean sprouts, and chives) were served on the side, which was thoughtful since not everyone loves them all. We tried it without lime at first, and it was a little sweet, but adding lime balanced it out perfectly. Heads up: the chili flakes are super spicy! We also wanted to try the mango sticky rice, but unfortunately, they were out of mangoes. I was so disappointed because I'd been looking forward to it. I'd recommend Boran to anyone looking for amazing Thai food in NYC.

    Delicious food both classic Thai staples and those a little more rare/creative. Seemed to do an equal amount of takeout as well as dine in. Cozy space but not too pretentious. The waitress was helpful in explaining dishes and smartly asked all tables about allergies. I've dined with friends with allergies and other dietary restrictions and here it seems they'd be more than willing to accommodate or offer dishes that suit the requirements. A little expensive to gain a spot in the regular rotation but a nice treat nonetheless.

    Good service, delicious food and a place to enjoy your meal. I suggest to call for a reservation if your group is over 4.

    3.75/5 unfortunately. Highly recommended from a friend, but our delivery order experience was meh. The good: *Tofu Prik King - shrimp paste forward. *Shrimp Roll - big juicy shrimp. *Khao Knook Gapi (fried rice with shrimp paste, sweetened pork, chicken sausage) - very tasty, flavorful, pork and sausage were very soft and tender. Quite a uncommon dish I think? *Issan classic (platter of grilled chicken, papaya salad, larb moo) - the grilled chicken was great with fresh herb flavor larb was spicy yum. The Okayed: *Curry Puff *Chicken Satay *Mixed Vegetables The bad: - how can they mess up these two classic dish? *Pad Thai Boran - so bland... .. *Panang Curry - very watery and no flavor.

    Meang Pla Tod
    Sarah Z.

    If you're looking for authentic Thai food, this is the place to try. It is run by Thai staff. It was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon but it was one of the Thai restaurants I wanted to try out in Park Slope. Place isn't too big and can probably seat less than 10 parties at once. I ordered the Meang Pla Tod appetizer, which is basically a mackerel salad, Khao Knook Gapi Boran (one of their specials) and Mackerel Fried Rice. Presentation of food was A+++ and the taste matches its presentation. The mackerel salad was delicious and refreshing. I loved their spicy green sauce. All their sauces that accompany the dishes are pretty spicy but so good. The mackerel fried rice was one of the best fried rice I've had. The mackerel serving was generous -- slices on top of the bed of fried rice and surprised to find mackerel bites within the fried rice as well. The Khao Knook Gapi Boran comes deconstructed style but you mix all the veggies, egg and meat up with their sauce and you have flavor packed in a plate. All the dishes we tried were so good. Can't rave about this place enough and can't wait to come back and try different menu items.

    This restaurant is a well kept secret of those who live in Carrol Gardens. A little old school space, with a rapid and super nice service and astonishing food. The appetizer platter is a must, and so the deep fried fish. Keeps being a place to check in every month. Don't miss it.

    Interior
    Rachel V.

    This place came highly recommended by my friend who also heard the recommendation from two of her own friends so the word of mouth of how this restaurant is a must-go-to, is really phenomenal. Came here with my friend for the first time and was blown away by the excellent appetizer sampler. It's a perfect way to try out all the different appetizers to see which you like best-- the only problem was I loved all the appetizers and wanted more of each! I tried out their duck curry and enjoyed it so much. My friend ordered their pad thai but wasn't too impressed with it. Go with the duck curry, friends. Anyway, the interior is nice and cozy, albeit a bit tight on space, and their dining seats and table could use some upgrading as they creaked and seemed a bit old. Staff were welcoming and nice, and overall the atmosphere was super pleasant whether you're eating out with your girlfriends, or if you're on a date. I brought my new (at the time) boyfriend here for his birthday and he also enjoyed the food and experience and he wasn't too big on Thai food before coming here so that says something. If you do like Thai food then this is the best place to become a regular at or to save for special occasions. I think the prices here are fair and not too inflated for the portion sizes you receive. If you think you'll like it, you definitely will so come try them out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

    1. Pad Thai
    Jaime E.

    This is a bustling little place, tho they do have seating outside. Don't be surprised if you come during peak time and you have to wait for a table. The dish that everyone orders is the Pad Thai, which comes wrapped in an omelet. Very good. We also got the Massaman curry which is my go-to dish and it didn't disappoint. The noise volume got loud depending upon how many groups were sitting and how close they were. At one point I could hear the couple next to us better than my dinner partner. Oh well. Small price to pay for a good Thai meal.

    Khao Knook Gapi Boran
    Joanna M.

    Boran prides itself in serving authentic Thai food and is run by Thai staff. I can't be the judge of the former but the latter is definitely true. Regardless if Boran's food is authentic or not, the food seemed to lack minor components in the final execution. My family and I were seated immediately at a table for four on a Wednesday evening (no wait). We ordered one large tom yum soup, a mixed appetizer platter, khao soy kai, pad thai boran, and khao knook gapi boran. The best part of the meal was the appetizer platter with a variety of fried crab dumplings, curry puffs, chicken and beef satays served with different dipping sauces. The appetizers had a good balance of sweet and savory flavors, the fried appetizers are crispy, and the meat is tender. The rest of the food either was too salty or too sweet. The tom yum soup was too salty and too sour, the entrees were not salty at all. It's as if the kitchen at Boran misplaced the salt shaker when they served our entrees. While the seasoning of the food could use some work, the flavors were all there. Aside from the food, the service was friendly and the ambiance is cozy casual. For a quick meal, Boran is a fine choice. But I don't see myself coming back.

Nothing really stood out with the dishes; I found it to be a bit Americanized, having eaten in so many Thai restaurants around New York City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here; our food came in timely fashion, and the customer service is good as well, but it's probably not your place if you are seeking a more authentic Thai-style cooking.

I'd say that the pad see ew was the weakest dish of what we ordered but it was still tasty. I think it would have been nicer with a different protein, perhaps chicken or tofu.

PLEASE get the mango stick rice cocktail omg it was gone in like 5 sips because it was so good. The tuna ceviche was so refreshing and the sauce had a little kick to it which I absolutely loved! It was like a sprinkle of Thai on a classic tuna ceviche. Note the taro chips are a little thicker than a typical chip! The pork jowl wasn't as crispy as I expected but it was still flavorful and the portion size was huge, considering how it was an appetizer. We got pineapple lychee crispy duck, crab fried rice, and kana crispy pork over rice as our entree. ALL WERE SO GOOD! The curry for the pineapple lychee crispy duck was so creamy and flavorful, with the duck portion being huge and being the perfect texture. I loved that it was crispy and didn't get soggy fast in the curry. The crab fried rice was top tier as there were SO MANY HUGE CRAB PIECES!! You can definitely tell that it had flavors of seafood/crab.. they did not skimp out! And the kana crispy pork over rice was huge portion as well, but note that it was a big strong/saltier than the other dishes. For dessert, the pandan coconut pudding custard was SO yummy.

The sweet fruit with the savory fish worked way better than I expected. · Pineapple Fried Rice - came with shrimp, nice wok aroma, and that perfect sweet-tangy pineapple kick. · Pineapple Lychee Crispy Duck (GF) - duck skin was nice and crispy, and the coconut-based sauce with lychee and pineapple kept it from feeling heavy or greasy. · Branzino Chili Lime (GF) - came out piping hot, classic Thai-style sour broth that paired perfectly with the fish. No fishy taste at all, and the texture was tender. Even the drinks and dessert weren't overly sweet, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, really enjoyed the meal here -- flavors are solid, service was friendly, and you can feel the effort they put into the experience. Definitely coming back!

Pad Kee Mao (aka Drunken Noodles), chicken $15.00 Stir-fried flat rice noodle, bamboo shoots, garlic, basil, fresh chili, onion, carrot, string bean, bell pepper, long hot chili The flat rice noodle quantity was sufficient, but minimal and there were too much onion, insufficient string bean, two paucity pieces of carrot. I dislike bamboo shoot which is not a standard ingredient for this particular entrée. I think the bamboo shoot tainted this entrée. I am a traditionalist conservative which bean sprouts is a good substitute variation for bamboo shoot vegetable including string bean. This entrée is my favorite default and as a caveat, if any Thai restaurant or cafe do not offer on their menu I refuse entry to patronize. This entrée enticed my interest and embedded the lunch meal menu for the reasonable price. I personally despise and do not consume spicy hot foods, but occasionally consume mild or very mild in the smallest measurement of the Scoville scale which I specifically requested, but received medium hot spicy. The waitress forewarned me the intense heat level on the Scoville scale as Thai cultural spicy with two or more bird's eye chilies for a high level of spiciness. The spiciness of chili peppers were, in my opinion, medium spicy. Despite the intense medium heat spiciness, the stir-fried noodles lacked flavor with, tender chicken, minimal vegetables, and Thai basil in a bland taste. I wish I chosen shrimp as the protein. Pad Kee Mao sustained my hunger pangs and ate my fill. When eating Thai intense heat spicy foods, I visualize to think of the TV segment "Niall Horan & James Corden Take On Hot Wings" on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in March, 2020. High heat spicy foods! Thai ice tea, large $3.00 This was a delight and neutralized the heat spiciness because it contains milk. It was served chilled in a large highball glass. Samyan is a Thai cafe located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC and accessible via MTA NYC Transit C local train at Clinton-Washington subway station. This cafe is a independently owned and operated, thankfully. The waitress did check-in with me during my meal for attentive customer service. The atmospheric conditions were a simple small dine-in cafe. There were many paintings, portraits hanging on their walls of white subway tiles. Gold metallic metal chopsticks and fork are provided. If utensils are gold then the interior cafe should contain these "gaudy" feature extensive gold elements, including gilded moldings and furniture. Peony rose are very simply and made pretty table centerpiece decorations. Takeout menu and business cards are available for grabs. I did received my sales receipt. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 18%, 20% and 22% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. I paid $23.00 in cash as the waitress' informative knowledge of the ingredients and preparation of the heat level on the Scoville scale.

Love the masala and green. Like them so tried with different types of proteins. My only draw back to this place or gets too rowdy at times. Also the place is too small . They need to expand so there more movement around. I would come back during the lunch hours to try the noodles and rice. I've seen come out to the kitchen is pretty tempting. If you want to socialize mingle with the crowds of the locals come after 6pm.

    I'd never managed to get a reservation at Ugly Baby, but we did make it to Hungry Thirsty and I'm…read morevery glad we did. Service was excellent from the start. My partner was running late, and even though the place is clearly very popular right now, they still accommodated us with a table. The staff explained every unfamiliar dish we asked about, always with a smile. I usually avoid the standard NYC Thai restaurant lineup of pad thai + generic curry situations and look for places that feel more regional and authentic. The menu here had a bunch of dishes I didn't recognize, which immediately made me excited. They even have a spice guide though the icons don't necessarily mean increasing spice levels. As I understood it, different symbols represent different types of heat. Three chili emojis and three meteor emojis may be equally spicy, but they hit differently. They recommended not to order the pad krapow nuer, and honestly, fair enough. Instead, we got the chicken khao soi, which was far better than versions I've had elsewhere - deeply flavorful, spicy, rich with umami. My partner was crying. I, meanwhile, was at "this is perfect and I'm having a great time." One Huge chunk of chicken cooked exactly right. Mix everything thoroughly before eating. Then came the kua kling which arrived with another warning. That dish became my personal challenge to impress the server, and apparently I succeeded because now they've promised that next time they won't discourage me from ordering the nuer. They kept refilling cabbage and cucumber for us to cool down from the heat. The kua kling itself was incredible. That dry curry heat was everything. It builds slowly, then suddenly punches you in the face - but alongside all that spice is an insane amount of flavor. They also recommended to order a non-spicy side dish to have a balanced meal and spice level, but we skipped it because it would've been too much food. Honestly, this is the kind of place where going with at least four people is ideal so you can try more dishes and balance the spice levels. And if you're unsure what to order, trust the servers - their recommendations were spot on. Also: really great ciders and beers. We were really happy with both choices. Overall, even though it's far from the city for me, I'd absolutely go back.

    It's a bit pricey, but damn the food is good here! Hungry Thirsty is not your regular Thai spot,…read morebut with more traditional flavors that truly pack a punch in spice. The restaurant is tiny, so be sure to make a reservation. As a lover of spicy food, the spiciness in the dishes really brought out such a great flavor. Since my friend didn't eat as spicy, we found a happy medium getting just slightly spicy dishes which were all fantastic. We ordered the Khao Soi ($33) and Pla Tod Nam Pla ($40). The khao soi wasn't too spicy, especially since the broth has a creaminess and the spicies are on the side before mixing, which you can exclude. The chicken was so tender, but did come with bone so this can be trickier to share. Then the pla tod really surprised me, but I can definitely see why it's the best seller. It is a fried branzino with a marinated fish sauce which goes so nicely with all the crunch. There are a few remaining pieces of bone, so be careful. The fish had a nice balance of fish meat and crunchy skin. If you're looking for a unique Thai spot, this is it. Also, perfect spot for spicy lovers too. They also offer a huge selection of alcohol.

My first time here and it was a great experience. It is Valentine's Day and we left with a cute little gift from them, beautiful gesture. Definitely coming back :)

    Had been passing this spot for years and finally had the chance to stop in…read more Host was polite and quickly sat us without a reservation - we wanted to sit outside and there was room thankfully. Wait staff was attentive to dietary needs, exemptions and ensured our request was followed to a T. Ordered some Khao Kriab Pak Mor (dumplings) to start along with a pair of mocktails. And an order of Khao Na Ped (smoked vegan duck) and Ginger Chicken (vegan). All served well with good portion. What I personally liked is the 2 dishes took a bit, not slow or long but IMHO taking a little bit always seems it was cared for in prep. Who knows just my thing. The staff has a challenge to accommodate outdoor seating as the bldg doesn't have an inside/back door for them and they must carry food out the front door, down the sidewalk and into the garden area. That's tough but they do it with grace. The seating was okay since it's early enough but bugs showed up - no surprise - not a complaint just the reality of life and online typing in case anyone is considering it and is more sensitive to the same.
