    We came here yesterday after not being served at Xisan de Classic and I'm so glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday without a reservation. They were very nice and put us on the waitlist with a 30 minute wait. We headed over to Van Leeuwen for a pre-dinner treat and to wait somewhere dry. Exactly at the 30 minute mark I got the text to head over and we did. We sat down and it took a few minutes for someone to take our order but once they did everything moved very quickly. I ordered the lychee sangria and my husband ordered the thai lime tea and the purple lemonade. All of the drinks were excellent and they were kind enough to give me extra flamingo straws to bring to my kids when I said they'd enjoy them. As for food we started with the chive pancakes and the moo ping. Both were amazing, but I especially loved the chive pancakes. The sticky rice that came with the moo ping was very good. For Entrees my husband ordered the duck red curry and I ordered the garlic beef udon noodles. My husband curry was delicious! And I loved my noodles until I tasted cilantro and I couldn't enjoy it any longer but that was my fault for not asking about it in the first place. I highly recommend coming here. The food, ambiance, and service were all top notch. I just found it a little expensive considering other options in the area.

    I got the drunken noodle which was pretty good! I asked for mild and it was not that mild! Heads up for those who like spicy :) My friend got tom yum and enjoyed it with her thai iced tea. The garnish was so cute and matched her purple shirt. We enjoyed the ambiance and their selection of acoustic music. When we arrived we were seated inmediately though the service throughout the lunch also felt rushed. Everything was quality, just the busy-ness for a Sunday felt the need to eat and run. Good for girl day and would come back from drinks as well.

    Khaosan quickly became one of my favorite Thai spots in this part of Brooklyn! The staff are so friendly and attentive even though we were seated in a little nook of the restaurant (which I actually really enjoyed with the privacy)! We came on a Tuesday night and they were busy but we were quickly seated! We ordered the khao soi and roasted duck green curry. We also tried the calamari, chive pancakes, thai iced tea, and lime thai tea which were all extremely delicious!! I cant wait to go back.

    Serive was fine. Few issues 1) pho was warn and should be hot 2) tip suggestion is after tax it should be before tax 3) top tip suggestion should not be 25%. Its very hard to find an investment. 3) pho duck for 5 places is high for $25. 4) pho with $22 was high

    This is a modern Thai fusion restaurant. The decor is IG worthy. We ordered Tom Yum soup, massaman curry with chicken, spring rolls, chicken wings, pho with steak, and pad kra pao, and ended the meal with mango sticky rice and mango sticky rice with ice cream for dessert. The taste was great and plating was beautiful for all the dishes that we ordered. The staff were friendly. Overall, it's a great dinning experience. I'd go back again.

    I frequent this Thai restaurant on occasion and order via online for pick up. All of the items ordered have always been delicious and with abundance of food. The staff is very attentive and accommodating, providing small table and water or beverage while waiting for the food. I usually visit their bathroom and on my last visit noticed they added an extra restroom to accommodate for the customers visiting during peak hours. The restaurant is very inviting and colorful, definitely Instagram and provides a bit of spark and brightness to the space. This is by far one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area.

    Liked all the food here! Our group tried a bunch of appetizers and for the main, I got drunken noodles- Pad kee Mao. There were six of us there and the restaurant was able to seat all of us. For appetizers: Calamari- 5/5 Crab Cakes- 4/5 Vegetable soup dumplings- 5/5 For Mains: Drunken pad Thai noodle- 4.5/5 Drinks: Thai iced tea- 5/5

    Ocean's Harvest Pad Thai (GF)(N)

    Delicious takeout experience! I got the ocean's harvest pad thai and we shared the fresh rolls, both were fantastic! One of my favorite pad thais in the city, I loved the thin rice noodles instead of flat, and the addition of crab claws and shrimp really made it. The mussels and calamari were a tad rubbery, but didn't take away from the dish too much, I could have licked the plate clean! The rolls were yummy too, with a nice peanut sauce. New Thai staple in bk!

    Lychee martini
    Cate T.

    What a great little lively place! Stopped by on a Thursday night and got seated immediately at 6, but it definitely filled up as it got later. Great happy hour drinks until 7 - got a $12 lychee martini. The curry dumplings were yummy, as was the chicken pad see ew. The chicken khao soi was just fine - the broth was a little goopy and not very creamy but it was yummy flavoring overall! Great, fast service and lots of attention. Would return.

    Drunken Noodle (V)

    Order: - Garlic Udon Hanger Beef (5/5) - Shrimp Drunken Noodle (5/5) - Spring Rolls (5/5) - Chicken Dumplings (5/5) - Mango Slush (5/5) Pros: - Amazing tasting food - Large menu that has plenty of photos so you can see what the food looks like - Options with lunch specials and happy hour - Good portion sizes - Decently priced especially for portion size - Very quick and kind service - Beautifully decorated restaurant Cons: - Small restaurant so seating is tight. We went on a weekday so we luckily had space around us but I can see this spot getting very busy on the weekends and for dinner Overall: I think I found my new favorite Thai spot!

    Not a bad Thai restaurant by no means, but I felt that it was not as good compared to the many other Thai restaurants in the city. Khaosan feels more akin to the Thai restaurants that exist in college towns. The prices were cheaper though and each dish was relatively large, so it is a good option for budget Thai food in the area.

    tom yum seafood hot pot
    Julie Ying X.

    I had dinner on a Sunday night with a friend. The food here I would say is modern/fusion Thai cuisine and they randomly have pho? It's a bit confusing. We ordered the tom yum seafood hot pot, the crab curry pasta, and the mango ice cream dessert. The tom yum seafood hot pot had a lot of seafood and it had a good kick. The crab curry pasta was flavorful but the crab was a bit overcooked. The mango ice cream dessert was not too sweet and the blue coconut sticky rice was still warm. It's a bit pricey but the portions were large. The staff were friendly and fast. I would come back if I'm in the area.

    Panang curry, Pad See Ew with chicken, Fried Chicken Dumpling, thai ice tea

Loved that every table had fresh flowers; you can tell they really care about the little details. We ordered quite a bit and honestly, everything was on point: · Lychee Thai Iced Tea & Yuzu Pop - both refreshing and not too sweet (huge plus for me since I don't have a big sweet tooth). · Moo Ping - solid start to the meal. · Salmon Mango (GF) - the salmon was cooked through (which I asked for), and the mango salad underneath was light and tangy. 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.

    Where can I even start with this restaurant…read more.. My girlfriend picked this spot to end our date night, and boy did she choose a gem. From the initial hospitality, to the last bite, everything was a 10 out of 10, and I say that sparingly when dining out. For the drinks we went with a Thai Iced Tea and Key Lime Thai Iced Tea. The Thai Iced Tea was amazing, though a tad sweeter than what we were used to. Nonetheless it was still a great palette cleanser in between dishes. Now that Key Lime Thai Iced Tea was DIFFERENT. Upon sipping, you get hit with a nice tart sweetness from the key lime that is met immediately with the smooth creaminess from the Thai iced tea. The combination worked so perfectly I had to force myself to not finish the drink before the dishes arrived to the table. 10/10, I don't want to drink another drink again if it's not that one. For starters we had the Chicken Curry Puffs and Calamari. The curry puffs were perfectly fluffy with the nice earthy, sour, spicy, sweet umami flavor of the curry filling, which they did not skimp on. The Calamari was also perfectly crispy and salted, and went really well with the peanut tamarind sauce that came with it. 10/10 For the main courses we ordered the Tom Yum Crab Fried Rice, Braised Spicy Basil Duck, and Spicy Holic Noodle. Firstly, the portions were massive. For perspective, I'm 6'2 230lbs and can eat a good amount, but even after sharing each dish with my girlfriend the plates looked barely eaten. We did not complain about having leftovers though. The Tom Yum Crab Fried Rice came with a massive pile of lumped crab meat, which was probably the most crab I've ever received for this dish from other restaurants. The dish was well-balanced and provided a nice sourness that was unexpected but tasty. 9.5/10 only because I wish it was a tad spicier from the Tom Yum spices. The Braised Basil Duck was probably my favorite dish of the night. The duck was juicy and tender and still had a little crisp on the skin despite being covered in spicy basil sauce. The dish was also very balanced and had a great helping of duck and bell peppers, which added great texture and soaked up all of that sauce. 10/10 The final dish, Spicy Holic Noodles, was also a favorite of mine. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the thin rice noodles soaked up all of the spicy sauce and added a nice chewy texture to the dish. The string beans were also nice and crunchy and added more playfulness to the texture of the dish. 10/10 This is definitely a great spot for date nights, gatherings with friends, or even a solo date. The space is intimate, but not too overwhelming for people who aren't fond of large crowds. I'll definitely be back and would recommend everyone visit at least once.

This is definitely depends highly on the fact of what time and day you to Holic Thai Bistro. Here for a good time to chat but in a chill environment .

First off the most delicious group of appetizers. I wished their potions size were more decent. It's pricey for what is offered. Since curries are my favorite I tired those entrees first. 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.

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.

Spicy food, in case you didn't know, connotes authenticity. Call it suffering for beauty, in a culinary wrapper. Ugly Baby took this S&M theater to its logical conclusion in all regards: tuck it in an inaccessible corner of South Brooklyn; use tiny chairs and brusquely inform diners they have an hour start to finish at their table. The more inconvenient it was, the better. I held my applause after my single visit to Ugly Baby, which closed amidst wails and lamentation last year from people who liked rough treatment. But something drew me back to this reincarnation, started by the same people. Maybe, I thought, they'd found a way to bring us that magnetic authenticity, and hold the ball gags and chain flails? The answer is no. I should have known from the name alone: another mysterious two-word phrase (both of whose words again end in -y) that sounds like it could be an overly literal translation of some ineffable Thai concept. I should have known when it opened in the same godforsaken corner of ... what is that? Gowanus? I should have known from the protracted negotiations for a suitable table that followed when my husband, mom and I arrived punctually for our 5:30 reservation and were primly informed we'd be squeezing onto a two top, then were refused an obviously empty three-top ("it's reserved"....oh you mean by a party of three with a reservation like us?), and then grudgingly seated at a four-top, half of which was literally in the kitchen. I should have known after being apprised that "you have one hour at the table." I should have known when there were no appetizers or desserts, and only two vegetarian entrees. This is the same thing as before. We're so back, baby. The mushroom curry, with its single fire emoj, was nowhere near the spiciest thing on the menu, but gosh was it still spicy. How do they make food with such complex flavors that's still hot enough to have emanated from the bowels of hell? It has to be one of the best curries I've had. It's a talent, special even, but it could easily coexist without Hungry Thirsty's other downsides. But I think all those inconveniences and discomforts are the point. They serve to reinforce the specialness of the special parts, counterintuitively increasing your mental investment in internally extolling Hungry Thirsty's virtues. They are to each element what spice is to food: it hurts, and you're proud that it hurts. It all adds up to the second coming of Ugly Baby, and why wouldn't it? Enough people liked being slapped around; maybe they felt like they deserved it. You know if that's you or not.

    Food was very tasteful! The ambiance was clean and vibey, very comfortable. The service was quick…read moreand efficient, since we came in the door until we left. 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.
