Bangkok 2 Thai — Restaurant in New York

By far one of my most favorite Thai restaurants. Quality, authenticity, and thoughtfulness come yo mind. Quality- the photo is of Khao soi which believe it or not is from takeout the day before as you can see, the chicken is prepared finally sliced be mindful to the grain of the chicken, there's ample amount of the condiment ingredients and a generous portion. I don't even think my photo does justice to how beautifully prepared the dish it really is to have to try to understand, the curry base they use tastes as actually handmade quality, there's a very slight coarseness as opposed to mass manufactured pulverized to powder. Amazing. Larb gai- again outstanding preparation! I love that any time I have asked for a modification they always very carefully follow through. I am also impressed by the cultural relativity, in the sense that they use an American spice/heat scale rather than Thai . That said, mild/level 1 means any sharp spice will be minimized or omitted. This was really interesting because if you like the typical taste of the dish, then you have an opportunity to try it without certain ingredients and maybe realize you like it more (or less). I'm fairly certain people who, like sharp spices will probably not be very fond of the mild versions! I love how they don’t compromise the authenticity and the quality by omitting or being skimp with herbs. I think it’s the only Thai restaurant in New York, that I have seen actually use fresh lemongrass in their dishes. In fact, I have been so long since I had Thai that actually had lemongrass and cilantro that I forgot how much more amazing it makes the Cuisine. I hope they'll consider expanding the menu to include dishes which are amazing but rarely seen outside of Thailand (wing bean, son in law egg or miang kham) but are probably made in Thai American households or when seasonal ingredients available as I'm sure they'll be amazing...

Cozy Thai Mom-and-Pop Gem I recently dined at this charming mom-and-pop Thai restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the overall experience.

I ordered the yellow curry with tofu and the Pad See Ew with chicken, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. The yellow curry was rich, flavorful, and comforting, with perfectly cooked tofu and fresh vegetables that absorbed the delicious sauce. The curry had just the right balance of sweetness and spice—ideal for anyone who enjoys a mild yet flavorful dish.

The Pad See Ew was equally fantastic. The chicken was tender, the noodles had that perfect smoky wok-charred flavor, and the dish was packed with fresh vegetables like broccoli and greens. The savory sauce brought everything together, making each bite satisfying and well-seasoned.

This restaurant offers authentic, home-cooked Thai dishes in a relaxed, unpretentious setting. If you’re looking for a place with great food and a cozy atmosphere, I highly recommend giving...
