New York Eats | OBAO Midtown - Thai Comfort Food with a Twist! 🍛🦞

📍 OBAO Midtown, NYC – Craving bold Thai flavors in Manhattan? This sleek spot delivers creative takes on classics, though with some hits and misses. 🍽️ What We Tried: 🦞 Lobster Pad Thai ($28) – Sweet-and-sour sauce packs a punch, but the lobster was a tad rubbery. Still, the wok hei (smoky aroma) saved it! 🍛 Braised Beef Curry ($22) – Fall-apart tender beef in creamy, coconut-rich curry—perfect over jasmine rice! 🥬 Morning Glory Stir-Fry ($14) – Crisp greens with garlicky umami (veggie win!). 💡 Vibe Check: • Dark, moody interiors – Feels like a Bangkok speakeasy. • Quick service – Great for pre-theater bites. • Skip the cocktails – Stick with Thai iced tea or beer. ✨ Pro Tip: Order extra rice—the curry sauce deserves it! Perfect for: 🍚 Comfort-food cravings 👯 Group dinners (sharing = more flavors!) 🌶️ Spice lovers (adjustable heat levels). 📍 OBAO Midtown – Where Manhattan meets Thai street food energy. #NYCEats #ThaiFoodNYC #MidtownEats #NYCRestaurants #ComfortFood #NYCFoodie
