NYC | Soothr – Iconic Thai Food Shines in LIC 🍛🌟

When I first arrived in New York three years ago, everyone was talking about Soothr—a beloved, Michelin-recognized Thai spot known for incredible flavors without the hefty price tag. I still remember being wowed by their Massaman short rib curry back then! 😋 Now, they’ve expanded to Long Island City, with a bigger, beautifully designed space inspired by Bangkok’s Chinatown. Went on a Wednesday evening—packed as always! 🏮 🦐 Must-Try Dishes: Koong Karee | Turmeric Curry with Shrimp Creamy, golden, and soul-warming—this curry is an absolute dream with rice! The shrimp are plump and tender, and the egg-infused sauce is pure comfort. I could easily devour multiple bowls of rice with this alone. 🍚💛 Panang Duck Lychee Curry A delightful twist on classic Panang! Tender duck, sweet lychee, and creamy coconut curry create a beautiful sweet-savory balance. Topped with okra and fresh herbs—so fragrant and refreshing. Si-Krong Pad Ped | Spicy Pork Ribs Fall-off-the-bone tender with a bold, spicy glaze. Perfect for those who love depth of flavor and a little heat! 🌶️ Pad Thai A classic done right—not too heavy, slightly sweet, with fresh shrimp and soft rice noodles. A great complement to the richer curries. 🥭 Mango Sundae Imagine mango sticky rice meets creamy mango ice cream! Served with fresh, juicy mango chunks—a refreshing and satisfying end to the meal. 🍹 Drinks & Service: Don’t miss their special drinks! Tried one that tasted like a tropical Mango Pomelo Sago—so refreshing and not too sweet. Their Thai Tea with silky-smooth foam is also a winner. Shout-out to Chris and the team—attentive, warm, and clearly passionate about creating a great dining experience. 💯 📍 Location: 25-20 43rd Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 🌈 Final Thoughts: Soothr continues to impress—whether it’s your first visit or your fifth. With LIC-exclusive dishes, consistent quality, and vibrant vibes, it’s no wonder this place remains a NYC Thai food legend. Definitely a restaurant worth returning to again and again! 💖 #NYCThai #SoothrLIC #MichelinEats #LICFood #NYCRestaurants
