    Shrimp Pad Thai Original (GF)
    Andrew S.

    This is definitely the tastiest Thai food I have had yet in Brooklyn - the Creamy spicy shrimp soup is GREAT and the Crab Rangoon and Pad Thai were perfect - shrimp in both were not over cooked - perfect - delicious!

    Anna D.

    Really solid pad see ew and pad Thai! I got both for pickup and it was super fast and tasty. It's a bit on the pricier side at $20 each but considering the area and the vibes, I feel like it makes sense. I got both with fried tofu and I usually prefer pad see ew but the pad Thai was so good and not too sweet! Would totally get again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Warm and cozy, tasty and scrumptious![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a cold December day and I had never had HotSake this was the perfect day for it. We ordered several dishes to share and our favorite was the chicken. The fried rice, lacked flavor it had a strong spicy after taste. The papaya salad was so refreshing and a great starter. The pad Thai was also delicious ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it was a good spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would have loved to try the cocktails

    Lump Crab Fried Rice

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small Thai shop hidden in Williamsburg. Despite its limited presence, it was packed when I came on a Tuesday evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a variety of items that we heavily relied on our server in choosing. For appetizers, we started off with Smut Fries ($12), which the dipping sauce makes this unique rather than just another order of fries. The Lump Crab Fried Rice ($25) were also great. For entrees, the waiter highly recommended the Khao Soi - US Wagyu Beef ($39), which was as good as advertised. The Wagyu beef really made this unique compared to all other Khao Sois you can get at any other Thai restaurant. We also got the Pad Cha Fish ($24), which were pretty good, but found it to be too salty. Used the fried rice to dilute the saltiness, which helped a bit. Overall a really good experience and would recommend this hidden gem if you're looking for a Thai restaurant in the Williamsburg area.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute + delicious spot in Williamsburg[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was pretty was perfect, fast and attentive The food was delicious, not spicy and very tasteful We had the crab rangoon that was good and the portions were bigger than expected!

    So happy I found this spot! Khao Soi with US Wagyu Beef was my favorite dish. The broth was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, and the wagyu beef was incredibly tender. Fried tofu and chive pancakes were both delicious- crispy, flavorful, and the perfect starters. The Pad Cha Fish had an amazing crunchy texture and bold flavor, and the papaya salad brought that fresh, zesty balance with just the right amount of heat. Loved the cocktails too, I tried the Siam and the Chid Lom (like a Thai milk tea with a kick) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is cozy and welcoming, with great service and a wide selection of Thai beers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus, they now have an online ordering app, which makes it so convenient to order to go for delivery or pickup!

    Mango Sticky Rice

    This small Thai restaurant in Williamsburg really blew my mind away with how flavorful and beautiful all of their food was! Creamy Thai tea is always a wonderful start! Every appetizer was incredible. I could eat 100 of those chicken dumplings. The curry had a delicious coconut-y mild spice flavor and lots of soft beef. The fried rice and noodles both were seasoned really well and cooked to a perfect texture. I also loved the portion sizes here! I've had mango sticky rice at a lot of spots and this one is definitely one of the better ones I've had! So yummy. Also, the service here was pretty good.

    New Thai spot in Williamsburg that caught my eye. Went in midweek with a res but would have been fine without one. Inside is quite small and it's more stool type seating than full tables with chairs so keep that in mind. The menu was compact and I believe they have a happy hour. Went with one other person and I wasn't too hungry so I opted for a tom yum soup. It was okay -- a tad too heavy on the mushroom for my liking. I've been an avid soup consumer as of late and felt that this one could have done with a bit more thickness. The summer rolls were fine nothing special. It was a cute place with good service but feel that there are other better Thai options in the area.

    I've been here a few times and I can confidently say this is my favorite thai restaurant in Williamsburg! Service is always attentive and friendly. The food and drinks are also pretty solid. I highly recommend their pad see ew, fried tofu, and khao soi waygu. I can't remember the names of the cocktails but everything I've tried were creative and tasty!

    Craving for thai food in Brooklyn area? Check out this place and you won't regret it!!! We ordered the PaNang (I personally LOVE PaNang, recommend if you like coconut milk) omg with beef it was AMAZING!!! so far best PaNang & pad see ew with chicken it was pretty cool! I see why this menu is one of their top choices :)

    Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is not very large, but there are some tables that can accommodate a big party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop was cozy and clean, with cute frames and decor throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a bathroom in the shop. Food: The chive pancake was incredible! I think it is the BEST Thai appetizer I have had in NYC. The chive pancake is incredibly fragrant, with a crispy exterior and a gooey, hot chive filling inside. I haven't encountered another dish that highlights the flavors of chives so well, truly making them the star of the dish. I also really liked the US Wagyu Crying Tiger, which was grilled to perfection and paired perfectly with the house-made Thai sauce. It is a bit pricier than some of the other dishes, but the steak was juicy and cooked to perfection. The Pad See Ew also had a good balance of sweetness from the sauce with a slight sourness from the vinegar. The texture of the noodles was just right, with a reasonable amount of chicken. Service: Overall, the interaction was pretty average. The employees were nice and the service was prompt.

    Khao Soi Crispy Pork
    Stephanie T.

    This was some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Every dish we tried was phenomenal. The Khao soi was so unbelievably flavorful with humble enough in the curry that the flavors of the noodles, cilantro and pork complimented it and didn't overwhelm me with flavor. The pineapple fried rice had fresh pineapple and the spices were spot on. The pad see ew was cooked to the perfect noodle texture, and it was perfectly sweet and umami. Presentation was beautiful for the food, service was super kind and very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor space seemed small as it was off a small street in Brooklyn but we sat outside and it was right off the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 would go back to Brooklyn just for this restaurant, highly recommend!

    Just found my new go-to Thai spot in Williamsburg. Amthai is such a hidden gem . [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a cozy vibes, the sweetest staff , and literally everything we tried was so good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The creamy Tom Yum soup is so rich and flavorful. The dry crab noodles are amazing. Also they have Happy Hour from 12-6PM daily (yes, even weekends) . Some appetizers are just $9.95 and they got a $9 Aperol Spritz . That's way too good to pass up. Perfection spot for a chill lunch or early dinner. If you are in the area , definitely check them out.

Our group of 4 started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few appetizers to share, namely: Som tum papaya salad and dumplings curry. For the main entree, my eyes caught the attention of clay pot mix-fried rice with shrimp, chicken, sweet sausage, and my partner chose shrimp pad thai. 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.

    We started with two drinks: The Butterfly Pea Lychee Soda (two toned, floral, light, and…read morerefreshing) and the strawberry guava fizz (sweet, fruity, and bubbly). The shrimp donuts were a must!! Famous for its crispy, savory, and addictive flavor. Easily our favorites!! The Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns brought real heat, creativity, and tang. We also tried the crispy chicken with egg noodles, which was rich, saucy, crunchy, and a fun twist on comfort food. Our dessert was mango coconut sticky rice which was soft, sweet, and the perfect finish!!

Every single dish was fantastic and came with little chili sauces or garnishes or spicy sauce etc which brought the dishes together beautifully. The hostess was extremely friendly and kind and gave her recommendation as well. She said takeout would be 15 minutes (it would be hour long wait to dine in at 8pm on a Thursday night). They were absolutely packed despite the time. We ordered the pad see ew with shrimp, the crab fried rice (amazing), the Pak Mor which is a sweet and savory rice roll that comes with coconut cream dipping sauce (drool worthy), and last but not least the Kao Tom Haeng which also comes with a tasty broth on the side. 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. My friends and I have never dined in but the ambience looks very warm and inviting. If you love delicious and flavorful food then this is the place for you! Look no further!! Highly recommend!!!! Ten outta ten!

Our server was excellent--super friendly and attentive. The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the spring rolls, khao soi, and the banana leaf-wrapped branzino. The khao soi was definitely the standout. It was so rich and flavorful, but also really spicy, so pay attention to the chili pepper heat rating! The only disappointment was the branzino. We were expecting a delicate filet wrapped in a banana leaf, but it was actually more like a dense mound of flaked fish. It had a pretty fishy taste and just wasn't for us. We'd skip it next time. The restaurant has a really cozy, inviting vibe, but it's loud. It was hard to have a conversation without feeling like we were shouting.

    I eat Thai food every week and this is probably in my top 10 in NYC!…read more The staff here are super friendly and all the drinks/apps/entrees/dessert were good, which is so hard to find! 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. It was warm and so flavorful and creamy!! I fell in love with Brooklyn even more after coming here. Highly recommend!!

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!

    Lunch in Brooklyn during in-between meetings of my professional duties of a Wednesday afternoon…read moresummons Thai cuisine. 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)
