This 4.8-Rated Hidden Thai Gem Will Blow Your Mind! 🌟

Weekend exploration! This super niche, divine Thai restaurant in the East Village is a must-visit! The peanut cocktail alone is a revelation in one bite! 😋 📣 RYNN 🔸 Rak Bua: 💲12 A crispy appetizer of fried lotus root slices. Thin and non-greasy, topped with addictive Thai spices that bring a perfect balance of heat and fragrance! Great with drinks. 👍🏻 🔸 Goong Chae Nam Pla: 💲15 The spiciest dish in the house 🌶️—endive and shrimp ceviche! Four pieces per serving, fresh and zesty. A must-try for those who love spice—it’s incredibly refreshing! 🔸 Kee Mao Goong Pla Muk: 💲20 Seafood Pad Thai with shrimp and squid that are chewy and bouncy. The wide noodles stir-fried with Thai chili sauce are incredibly aromatic. This dish transported me right back to the street food stalls in Bangkok! 🥢 🔸 Rawang Gai: 💲22 Green curry chicken stew. The chicken is sliced and feels a bit dry (likely from the breast), and there’s not much curry sauce. It’s average. Next time, I’ll try the Ped Yang With Roti—curry duck with flatbread. 🔸 Thai Tea Crème Brûlée: 💲13 A Thai tea-flavored crème brûlée dessert. The caramelized top contrasts beautifully with the creamy Thai tea pudding inside, with strawberries to cut the sweetness. It’s a delightful way to “drink” Thai tea! 😋 🍸 Cocktails: 🔹 Satay: 💲20 A turmeric and peanut-infused rum cocktail. One sip and you’ll be amazed! Highly recommended! The flavor is unique, inspired by satay. It’s smooth and has a pleasant aftertaste. Pair it with the complimentary rice crackers for an unforgettable experience! 💯💯💯 🔹 Glass of Grass: 💲19 Pandan-infused vodka with lemongrass, coconut milk, and grass jelly. It tastes like pandan juice, with a light alcohol flavor and added texture from the grass jelly bits. The three little boba on top are chewy and fun. 🔹 Kopitiam: 💲17 A coffee martini with a roasted coconut flavor. It has a rich foam and a light alcohol taste, but it’s not particularly outstanding. ✅ The dishes and cocktails are full of creative twists and are far from ordinary! ✅ The ambiance is great, perfect for a date or a casual get-together with friends. 🥂 #HiddenGemRestaurant #ThaiCuisine #ExploringRestaurants #DateNight #SoutheastAsianFood #NewYork #Foodie #NYCRestaurant #NYCFoodie #NYCLife #WhatToEat #FoodieDiary #Manhattan #NYCManhattanFood #CocktailLovers
