NYC｜Thai Diner 🌶️🍋 Was the Hype Real?

Recently, my feed has been flooded with posts about Thai Diner in Nolita—a Bib Gourmand spot from the team behind the legendary Uncle Boons. Naturally, expectations were high. We ordered a mix of classics and creative plates, and here’s the honest take: 🥗 Baan Salad – MVP of the Meal! Crispy red curry rice, romaine, fresh herbs, and a tangy tamarind-ginger dressing. Every bite was bright, crunchy, and impossible to stop eating. 🍗 Coconut Chicken Thailandese Ultra-crispy fried chicken with a hint of coconut, served with spicy mango salad. Refreshing, bold, and our favorite combo of the night. 🍜 Chicken Liver Mee Krob Sweet, sour, and spicy sauce stole the show—masked any liver taste, making it a great intro dish for cautious eaters. 🍛 Khao Soi A Northern Thai curry noodle soup—tangy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. Perfect for those who love big, layered flavors. 🍨 Uncle Boons Sundae Coconut ice cream loaded with crunchy toppings—the ideal cool-down after a spicy feast. The flavors here are sharp, bright, and build slowly—not just heat for heat’s sake. If you love tangy-spicy balance, you’ll feel right at home. 💡 Tip: Book via Resy—walk-ins often wait. Great for groups of 2–4 so you can try more. Around $50 per person. We’ll be back for that salad and coconut chicken alone. A vibrant, worthy spot in the NYC Thai scene. #ThaiDinerNYC #BibGourmand #NYCThai #NolitaEats #SpicyAndTangy
