Popular Midtown East Thai Cuisine: OBAO 🌟

📍 OBAO Midtown 222 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022 A veteran New York Thai restaurant that has been delighting diners since 2009, OBAO boasts a stellar 4.8-star rating on Google Maps. We decided to visit on a Friday night at 8 PM, and to our surprise, there was still one table available for a walk-in. Based on online recommendations, we ordered a few dishes, and they were all delicious! 💯 If you order drinks, the average cost per person is around $65, but without drinks, it’s about $40. That’s pretty reasonable! For two people, two signature main dishes are more than enough, as the portions here are quite generous. 🍽️ Bruiseberry Cocktail ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! This cocktail is super refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. Perfect for a night out! 🍸 ELS Prosecco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This sparkling wine is also a great choice, adding a nice touch to the meal. 🥂 Lobster Tail Pad Thai 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The signature lobster pad Thai is a must-try. The lobster and noodles are both delicious, though the bean sprouts were a bit too crunchy for my taste. 🦞🍜 Short Ribs Massaman 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This slow-cooked short rib dish is a favorite among countless diners. The meat is incredibly tender, melting in your mouth, and the rich sauce is perfect for soaking up with rice. Highly recommended! 🍖 #NYCEats #NYCThaiCuisine #MidtownEastDelights 🌆
