We were looking for a dinner spot close to the Drunken Shakespeare performance we would be seeing later. This spot had something for everyone -- and all of our dietary restrictions. I appreciated the gluten free and vegan options. The red curry dish was excellent, while others also enjoyed their various meals. The wait staff was incredibly efficient and pleasant. And the food was delivered quickly and was delicious. There are many Thai places to try in NYC, make sure this one is at the top of your list. read more

Got a walk-in table for 2--it was pretty full for a Wednesday night! Really big space with a lot of energy. If you're looking for a quiet space, wouldn't recommend coming here. The drinks are so yummy--both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Really brought the taste of street culture out. The pad Thai had a yummy flavor palette but noodles were overcooked. Wish they had more bite. The crispy pork is phenomenal though--especially with their fish sauce drizzled on top. I say if you're a spice-fan, don't be afraid to ask for extra spice. I ended up asking for chili powder. read more

I read that Pranakhon was amazing and figured I'd have to check it out. Located near Union Square, the restaurant itself is spacious. You really got the vibe that you were in a section of Thailand, and I guess that was the point. It was a hot day and although they had AC, the restaurant was still a bit warm. We ordered the Mama More Fire, Bamee Ped, and the Pad Krapow. To be honest, the food was just okay. It's like a 3/3.5. The service was about the same. There's nothing wrong with these dishes but they're far from the best I've had. There are better options for Thai if I'm being honest. I don't think we'll be back again. Especially when there are so many better options in the city. read more

The craving for mango sticky rice brought us here, and the rest of the meal was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few misses. The space itself is lively, with beautifully done interiors that really set the mood for a fun dining experience. Here's what we tried: - Somtum salad (3.5/5) was enjoyable overall, though slightly saltier than I prefer. - Chicken green curry (3.5/5) had good flavor but leaned mild on spice and felt a bit light on the chicken. - Crab fried rice (4.5/5) stood out--well-executed and flavorful, though the accompanying condiment tipped a bit too salty. - Curry-paste stuffed mussels (3.5/5) had great taste, but the mussels were slightly overcooked for my liking. - Mango sticky rice (4.5/5), which lived up to expectations--while the mangoes weren't the sweetest, the dish had all the right elements and balance. While the back room we were seated in was visually stunning, the air conditioning was limited. That said, the staff was very attentive and thoughtful in bringing over a mini fan (upon request) to make things more comfortable Overall, the experience felt a bit hit-or-miss, but also left us wondering if we may have overlooked some of their standout dishes. read more

Busy during dinner hours! Finally got a reservation to try their food. The decoration is fun and inspired by Thai elements. We got seated in a busy area and the waiters were still attentive. We ordered: - Fried taro: 5/5 - was the highlight, I'm biased because I love taro. The tofu skin is thin and crispy. The taro is well cooked. The combo works so well together. - Tofu jian: 4/5 - the steamed tofu was silky. The flavor was great. The spices were on point. read more

2nd time at pranakhon and this time I came as a walk in during lunch hours. I wished the workers a happy thai new years and that went ignored and felt like the hostess were stuck up. Service wasnt good and we had to flag down someone for assistance multiple times. Kept it simple this time and got the chicken fried rice and the roast pork w egg noodles dish. It wasnt out of this world and ive had better. It was good but not great. We asked for our food to go and they took so long we just left. Wont be coming back, the customer service needs to be worked on. read more

This place had rave reviews and a Michelin rating so I was excited to try, but it was pretty mid. We tried the crab fried rice and one of the beef noodles. The crab fried rice was decent but tasted pretty standard. The beef noodles were just okay. The place was bustling, very busy on a late Thursday night. Definitely make a reservation at least a few days in advance. I don't think I'd come back unfortunately. read more

We ordered their papaya salad, khao soi, the braised branzino, and a seasonal crab noodle dish. I thought the khao soi was interesting as it was a beef dry noodle dish instead of the typical noodle soup with chicken. I'm not sure if this is a regional twist or if they are 2 distinct dishes, but this beef version was a new take that I enjoyed. The branzino was also great - I love the tangy sauce that the fish cooks in. The crab noodles did not have as much crab as I'd thought it would, so it missed the mark for me. read more

On a trip to New York we heard we had to try this establishment. It was very accurate as it was absolutely delicious! I tried the chicken pad thai and it was one of the best I ever had!

On my next trip to NY I will definitely take a visit back! read more

very reliable and probably my favorite thai place that i've been to in the city! the ma nee is a very yummy non alcoholic drink that reminded me of a dole whip! it's a bit expensive for a non alcoholic drink but that's nyc :/ 10/10 drink otherwise! the pak boong moo krob was also a great dish! the pork belly was super crispy and yummy and i didn't realize morning glory is just water spinach lol but it was good! 9/10 the other dishes were fine. i don't think the khao moo dang is anything special. the short rib massaman was fine and so was the crab fried rice. i would rate the khao moo dang a 6/10 and the crab fried rice and massaman 7-8/10. i think the only thing i didn't really like out of everything that i've eaten here is nuer yang. it was pretty fatty and i don't think it was super tender. i know it's wagyu but i definitely don't think it's the best quality wagyu out there. the service is pretty good and the restaurant itself has a very unique theme. they've got like a taxicab/train setup going on inside the restaurant which i think is super fun. great thai restaurant i always recommend it to people! also it's right next to mimi's and in the same area as caffe panna so if you want a sweet treat after it's the perfect spot to go to! read more

I was expecting more from this place because it was a Michelin star restaurant, but it honestly fell flat on service and food. Our seat was right in the middle of the restaurant, but we kept bumping into the staff while we were trying to sit. It was not the best ambience in that sense. The wait staff was not really that friendly, which I still could have felt was worth it if the food was amazing and the pricing matched up. My friend wanted pad see ew with tofu and vegetables, but they told her it would be an extra four dollars with vegetables. I ordered the Kao Pad Nuer, which was basil fried rice with grilled beef and a raw egg yolk. The beef was tasty, but the rice was just average. My food was cold too. I also think the portions were quite small for the price. My dish was 32 dollars and I was able to finish it alone. Overall, this place was a miss for me. I think there are way better Thai restaurants in the city. read more

I enjoyed the ambiance of this thai restaurant. The wait staff were all wearing motorcycle taxi uniforms and very friendly, greeting us on the way in and out of the restaurant. We tried the pork mussaman and the steamed branzino. Each dish came with a bowl of rice! From what I tasted, the mussaman is like a red curry, but more mild so it had the coconut milk and sweetness flavor aspects. The potato chunks added texture to the curry and melts in your mouth! The branzino was deboned, served with a bit of green vegetables, and the waiter drizzled more of the tangy, savory sauce upon serving the dish. Quite yummy! read more

Heard so many great things about Pranakhon and was so thrilled to finally visit! I was already in awe of the interior because it is BEAUTIFUL, and you feel truly immersed in a small alley in Bangkok with all the decor and architecture. I consulted heavily to some previous reviews so I knew I had to get the short rib massaman. For starters, we got a classic somtum (papaya salad) and the moo grob kua prik gua, and in addition to the short rib, we also got the crab fried rice so that we had a good balance of our carbs/greens/proteins. Somtum (3/5): A 3 as in it's a solid papaya salad, just a very simple dish that wasn't anything special but still satisfies your papaya salad cravings. Moo grob kua prik gua (5/5): This one's got a KICK for sure, but I loved it so much. The seasoning and spiciness works so well with the savoriness of the pork, and the skin is perfectly crisp yet the pork belly itself is nice and chewy. Crab fried rice (4/5): Similar to the somtum, this was a very solid and simple fried rice. In my most opinionated opinion, it's a bit $$$ considering (besides the crab) its just eggs and scallions in rice, but the execution was nonetheless superb and the crab meat was truly the most tender thing. Short rib massaman (5/5): As expected, and I was worried that my expectations were TOO high, I LOVED the short rib massaman. It's reminiscent of a curry with the rich, creamy coconut milk and such luscious meat, literally melts in your mouth. The sweet and savory works so well together, and especially with the rest of the other plates, they all play their part so well and come together harmoniously. Portion was also pretty sizable, at least for 2 people, maaybeee 3. I will say it gets a little heavier towards the end when it cools off, so definitely enjoy it when it's nice and warm. Service, despite having such a packed restaurant on a Wednesday night, was so meticulous and helpful. Our waiter checked in with us regularly and helped us digest the menu because we were just so excited and overwhelmed LOL. Definitely a place that I will be coming back to because their menu and dishes are such a treasure!! read more

Came to Pranakhon on a Tuesday night for dinner. Had a 6:30 PM reservation and was seated right away. The place was lively and busy, but not overwhelming. We ordered hor mok hoi mang phu, som tum, crab fried rice, kanom jean, green curry (kang keaw wan), Thai iced tea, and ma na. The Thai iced tea was sweet and creamy, and the ma na was super refreshing with a slight ginger kick. The hor mok hoi mang phu was really good. Mussels topped with curry paste and coconut milk. Spicy but balanced, and the coconut milk mellowed out the heat nicely. The som tum also known as papaya salad was fresh and flavorful. You get that sweet and tangy taste first, then the spice slowly creeps up on you. Definitely packs a punch but in a good way. The crab fried rice was a big portion and a nice break from all the spice. Tons of crab and very comforting. The green curry was delicious but honestly very spicy. It came with noodles, which went really well with the green curry. The flavor was excellent, though next time I'll definitely ask for less spice. I mentioned to the staff one of the dish was a little too spicy and the staff immediately offered to switch it, which I appreciated. I kept it anyway because the flavor was there. Service was friendly and attentive overall. Solid food, bold flavors, and a fun vibe. Would definitely come back. read more

Pranakhon has been on my list for a while, and I finally was able to try! I got a reservation, and we were seated promptly after checking in. Inside has lots of tables and it was beautifully decorated with Thai decor. The servers also wore traffic vests to simulate the "street food" ambiance. We asked our server Artty for recommendations, and he was the best! We got the Short Rib Massaman, Khao Soi Haeng, Curry Pancake, and Thai Tea. The food came out so quick, and we dug straight in. Every bite was a 10/10. The curry pancake had a hearty filling, flaky exterior, not oily at all, and with that sweet, tangy sauce...truly the perfect bite! The Khao Soi Haeng was also very good with flavorful noodles and beautifully cooked steak. It has a slight tang and umami taste to it. Our favorite bite was definitely the Short Rib Massaman. It was sweet, flavorful, and the short rib was tender and soft. Complimenting the rice so well, I loved the massaman. Artty checked on us often and we had such a great time under his care! I loved my time here, and would come back! read more

Wow, truly a hidden gem of NYC! Atmosphere was INSANE and the food definitely sets the bar for me. We ordered tons of food but services were nice and attentive and fast! 1. Curry pancake (5/5): omg this has got to be the most unique dish I've had. The sauce was refreshing and a little bit different than what I'm used to but it was so amazing I would definitely get this again! 2. Tom yum shrimp (4/5): such a comforting dish for a rainy day! It was sour and flavorful. I wish it was a bit less salty but it has a lot of shrimp! Definitely shareable 3. Short rib massaman (5/5): WOW, I just kept laughing eating this dish because I was so amazed with all the flavors included. Truly one of a kind! The meat was soft and the flavor was PACKED. Ate with rice and it was amazing! 100% would get again 4. Pad Thai (3/5): yhis dish uses a different types of noodles than what I'm used to and is a bit dry. I wish it has more sauce because it was just mediocre. A bit dry and salty for my liking 5. Thai tea (5/5): standard, can't skip, so refreshing! read more

My co-worker raved about Pranakhon. We made reservation in a week in advance. On Tuesday night, this restaurant was crowded. The noise level is quite loud. I have to admit the waiter was attentive. He was always there to refill our glasses. Also, I dropped my fork and he was very quick to get me a new one. I highly recommend the short rib massaman. The meat was very tender and the curry was a tad spicy. It comes with a bowl of jasmine rice. Overall, it was a delicious meal. I would definitely come back again. read more

Wow I am absolutely floored (in the best way possible) - we love Thai food and have been to a lot of restaurants in the city that do the usual pad thai / pad see ew well but not for unique dishes until stepping foot into this authentic bazaar esque vibe establishment that reminded me of Lisa from Blackpink / White Lotus! We ordered: Curry Pancake Mama More Fire Green Curry w/Chicken The pancake appetizer came with this translucent sugar, sweet relish sauce that took us aback but went so well with the dish (wish they had a vegetable version though!). If there's one thing you need to order from Pranakhon, it's Mama More Fire because the broth / ingredients / flavor profiles were indeed, included in the name: fire. The menu is quite overwhelming yet helpful with the corresponding images so I would definitely recommend taking a pre-read / glance when waiting for your table. Oh on top of that, reservations are best, we took the walk in - make a reservation approach and that was not really ideal. Service is very on point, they always made sure the food was to our liking (I can't imagine halfway eating the food and saying it's not to liking) and ensuring that our glasses were filled with water. Not surprised they're constantly busy and there's a consistent inflow of people coming in and out - just speaks to their aesthetics / vibes / good food. read more

Home run. Loved the place. Love the simple interior. Even loved the admittedly odd shadow-people that the waiters have wearing reflective vests. Loved the food; we had both spicy and not and both were great. Loved the rich, deep menu and that they have both fancy dishes and classics if you're just down for a great pad thai or such -- and the photos do help. There's nothing fancy or elegant about this place but the food. I'll be back. read more

Rated as one of the top Thai spots in NYC and a recent Michael Bib Gourmand, this restaurant is the perfect spot to enjoy some great Thai food. I would recommend booking a reservation here ahead of time (by a week, especially for weekends) as it gets very busy. The interior is spacious with lots of tables and beautiful decor reminiscent of Thailand's streets. We ordered their papaya salad, shrimp egg rolls, and curry pancake for appetizers. For mains, we got their braised beef, soft shell crab curry, tom kha, and crab fried rice. Portions here were so generous and everything was delicious. My favorites were the braised beef and the soft shell crab curry as they were so rich, creamy, and flavorful and paired really well with rice. The crab fried rice was another favorite at our table. Service here is very attentive, but I did notice that they REALLY tried to upsell us on everything. We definitely were recommended more dishes than we needed (we didn't even order as much as our waitress recommended) and for dessert, half of our table didn't want dessert so we told our waitress we wanted something small. She recommended four orders of the coconut pudding, but did not tell us that each serving already came with FOUR bowls. Had we known, we would've only ordered one. read more

Pros: - immediately smell the delicious fragrance of the food when you walk in - I'm in love with the interior and exterior design of the restaurant - most of the food and drinks we ordered had a very balanced flavoring/seasoning; overall the food was absolutely delicious - the staff were very attentive and made sure we had enough water and that we were doing okay with the food, they were also very friendly in striking up conversation but not over-conversating Cons: - may not be a con for others, but one of the drinks and one of the dishes ordered was way too sweet Comments: - went on a Sunday at 2PM with a reservation, the restaurant was pretty full - definitely recommend a reservation during peak/rush hours on weekdays and weekends - the music volume was just right, wasn't overpowering your conversation but also not too quiet that you only hear other customers - definitely recommend others try this restaurant read more

We came in for dinner on Christmas Eve. And it was super crowded. The vibe was so festive and celebratory, particularly the people sitting at the bar. We had a reservation, so we were seated a short while after we arrived. We fully enjoyed the delicious food and vibrant atmosphere. We ordered several items: crab fried rice, Branzino sea bass, Mama More Fire, sautéed veggies and a couple of non-alcoholic drinks. Among these dishes, we really liked the steamed branzino fish, which was fresh and tender with the savory lime sauce poured on top at the table. The whole fish was so delicious! The crab fried rice was equally good. We loved the chunky crab meat, and the rice was moist and without being too oily. The sautéed veggies were flavorful. The mocktails were great! We got the Via Nee (Jackfruit and orange) and Via. Both were refreshing and fruity. We particularly liked the Vera drink, which was sweet and citrusy with a delicate note of rosemary. Highly recommended! Our server was friendly and attentive, considering how busy the night was. All the tables were full. We loved the food and the vibe. I'm sure we'll be back on the next visit to NYC. read more

Pranakhon is a popular Thai spot near Union Square that's earned Michelin Bib Gourmand/Guide recognition for the last few years. On a busy Sunday night when they were nearly fully booked, we managed to snag a reservation for three. There's a lot to like here: the warm, attentive service, and a well-designed space worthy of its Michelin recognition. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the food quite lived up to the same standard. The highlight was the Garden Roll appetizer--fresh and delicious. The papaya salad and prawn Pad Thai were both solid, but didn't stand out. We also tried the short rib, which was tender and fell apart easily, but both it and the Pad Thai were way too sweet, overpowering the other flavors. Pranakhon is definitely a step above neighborhood Thai restaurants, but I didn't feel the dishes left a strong impression. read more

AMBIANCE: 8/10 -Cute street-food themed aesthetic -Clean single-stall, neutral-gender bathrooms -Wouldn't choose it as a date spot, but great for more casual outings SERVICE: 10/10 -Our server (Number 9, as his vest had written) was super friendly and gave a full rundown of the menu when we said we were there for the first time. We didn't feel rushed at all despite us being indecisive on what to get for a while. He checked back a couple times throughout the dinner-just enough for our needs without being overbearing! -Another waiter also kept a close eye on our water and refilled our glasses frequently. More on top of it than most other restaurants I've been to! -All the waiters we passed on the way out from dinner said bye and wished us a good night-friendly and cheerful staff all across the board :) FOOD Bamee Moo Dang: 7/10 -Dish came with noodles and two different types of meat (one was pork belly) -Flavor was a bit lacking, but not a bad dish overall Krapow Moo Krob: 7.5/10 -Less sweet than the Krapow Moo Krobs I've had previously! I prefer slightly sweeter, but the lower sweetness could be a plus for others who prefer more of a savory profile. -Texture of the pork belly and chinese broccoli were great! read more

pranakhon They have a 1.5 hour seating limit. We came in on a Wednesday at a7:30 and got seated at 7:41. We ordered: Thai ice tea ($8). It was good but nothing too different from other thai ice teas. Curry pancakes ($18)- 9/10. The sauce adds a lot to the taste. The curry is also not too strong but can definitely taste on the first bite. i'm Khao Soi Haeng ($30) -9/10 This is quite spicy with their chili. The steak is well marinated. The noodles are quite good too pairs well with the spice. It comes medium rare. Khao Yum ($27). This had sesame in it so we had to switch it out Krapow Moo Sub ($24) - 7/10. This also uses sesame oil. I really like basil pork fried rice and it hit the spot for me. We had extras to take home. Overall would come back to try new menu items. They are very accommodating for allergies. We forgot to tell them about sesame allergies. This was more than enough for for 2 people. read more

Made a reservation for 7 people on a saturday evening, and it's a good thing we did, because it was very popular! The interior is very nicely decorated and we had a booth that sat all of us. It also had an outlet which was good because we needed to charge our phones. We ordered pad thai, tomyum soup, bamee ped, and curry pancakes. Everything was delicious, I especially felt that the tom yum was very balanced in flavors, sour and spicy and perfect. I personally think the portion sizes should correlate a bit more with the prices, but it was a very good meal, the staff was very efficient and friendly, would go again with friends! read more

SERVICE - located on University pl near union square - busy at almost all open hours so need to make a reservation in advance or expect at least an hour wait - large interior with two stories of tables - tables are very close to each other and it can get loud and hard to converse - decor themed after street cars in thailand - good for a semi-casual meal MENU - modern take on thai dishes with a wide selection of specials - vegan/vegetarian options available - slightly pricey FOOD - tofu jian (7/10): soft tofu simmering in a sweet and sour gingery gravy with onions, mushroom, and peppers. This was a unique vegetarian option that looked like a thai version of mapo tofu. I liked the flavor of the broth as it packed a strong ginger punch. The portion is very generous for one person when eaten with the rice. I do wish it had more chili or line to cut through the thick gravy. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, the ambiance made it too challenging to hold a conversation. read more

It's a two-story restaurant that's absolutely gorgeous, but the tables do feel a little smushed together, which I didn't love. That said, the place was packed - practically every table was full - yet the service was impressively quick. We barely waited for our food despite how busy it was. I would highly recommend getting a reservation and being on time for it, as they do give the table away if you're late. For the size of the space and people it holds, I definitely think the restroom situation isn't handled well, as I saw a line outside the restroom pretty much all the time I was there. For food, I tried the curry pancakes and the fried chicken, both of which were really good. For my main, I played it super safe with a red curry, but it did not disappoint in the slightest. It was spicy, and comforting, basically a warm hug in a bowl. I also had some of the crab fried rice, and the portion was surprisingly generous for a "small" size. I loved the food here and honestly can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Bustling Thai restaurant that is a lot bigger than it seems from the outside- it gets very very busy so make sure you take the time to make a reservation in advance! We went on a Wednesday and there was a line of people waiting for their reserved tables. The vibe is casual. The prices are definitely Manhattan prices, but the portions are generous and every dish we tried was delicious. I have a dairy allergy and they were accommodating about the restriction (I could not try my friend's dish, the Mama More Fire, which had evaporated milk in it) . The fried taro with plum-peanut dipping sauce was great― crunchy on the outside, and the sauce had some heat to it. My pad see-ew was spectacular, just the right sticky texture and adding the crunchy duck was worth it- so tender. I wanted to surprise my friend by covering the bill (he just got engaged!) so I gestured to our server to see if I could get the bill early, and she made extra effort to come help me with the surprise. Thank you, Pranakhon! We'll be back. read more

Finally got to try this place as my first meal in NYC after hearing about it for so long. We got delivery since I got in pretty late. Both dishes came with rice. The ratio of rice to pork was quite high. I was really surprised by how much rice there was compared to the pork. The pork is quite tasty though. I personally liked it more than the short rib, since I found the sauce for the short rib a little too sweet. The short rib was fall off the bone soft and flavorful. read more

Stopped by here for some linner - I did not expect the burst of flavor that happened afterward. Everyone was eating everyone's dishes to try them out. The waitress was very helpful and recommended what would be safer (not spicy) for kids to eat. They went to town with some chicken wing appetizer while I then took over the pork dish that was initially for one of them. We also had the pad thai and pad see ew - they were all delicious. I had a Thai iced coffee and my beaux had some red drink my LO claimed tasted like a jolly rancher. The place was spacious and a little noisy, but wasnt too overwhelming - perhaps due to the layout or maybe there were high ceilings. I would definitely love to come back again.
