Holic Thai Bistro — Restaurant in New York

This review is from a born+raised Brooklyn native.

From the obsequiously attentive service to the stupefyingly good food, Holic Thai delivers on every front. From the moment we sat down we were enveloped in the warm and social atmosphere, waited on hand and foot by our adorable waitress, and just swept up in the refreshingly chill vibe of the place. My mom ordered beef with pineapple+broccoli, I ordered the spicy braised basil duck and together we had the Holic crispy shrimp&chicken rolls with a sweet chili sauce. After this meal I can honestly say I haven’t tasted such high-quality Thai food since I went to SriPraPhai in Woodside back in 2018. Simply put, this place pulls out all the stops:the music, the service, the food, the cleanliness, and the atmosphere all meet at a crossroad of the utmost professionalism to create one of the best Thai dining spots I have had the pleasure of experiencing in the borough of Brooklyn. The owner, Joe, who runs both this and a Clinton Hill location with his wife, was not only hospitable but genuinely interested in our opinion and any critiques on his food and restaurant. He was both friendly and classy, and I will not soon forget the way he made our visit feel important and personal. Honestly the only bad part about this place I can conjure up is that I no longer live in Brooklyn so I won’t be able to come here again anytime soon. But the next time I come back home to visit mom, there is little doubt I will be making a second visit to Holic Thai Bistro. And another; and again, and again, as long as they stay here. (and anywhere else they decide to open up in New York.)

This restaurant is by far a Gem. Gem: A person or thing held to be perfect. Several months ago i visited this restaurant with some girlfriends. The location I'm not the foundest of, however when you walk in, the place is absolutely beautiful. It’s small and quaint and most importantly, clean. The service was amazing the drinks were outstanding and the food fresh and remarkable. Ever since then I have been having a craving to revisit. I called yesterday to place in order however my delivery scope was out of range for Uber and the restaurant. I called the restaurant again telling them I would send an uber and if they could accommodate me by placing food in car, the gentleman on the phone told me no need, I am going to personally make this happen for you and deliver myself. I was thrilled and beyond excited. I wanted to tip however he said he was the owner and wouldn't accept it. He texted me when he was on his way with the order and outside with the order. Now this is service way beyond. The food was once again amazing but the service for me took the cake 🎂. This establishment is definitely a 10/10 and I can't wait to go back. Still thinking of my dinner from last night. ...

Why I love Holic…I come for lunch and dinner so often. The decoration is beautiful. This is my local spot and I am SO lucky. I’ve tried all the Crown Heights spots and this one beats them out of the water. Let me explain…their portions are amazing. Their food is FULL of veggies and meat. THEY DO NOT SKIMP. I love beef but I feel like the Asian spots I go to don’t have amazing beef. Holic has the best beef I’ve ever had at a Thai spot. Their lunch special is an incredible deal. I get a veggie full soup (coconut or tom kha) and a noodle or fried rice dish. Also, I tend to come solo because this is my local spot. They treat me with so much respect. One time I came with some allergies and the owner saw me and brought me a hot tea. Seriously they treat people so well. At night the spot becomes a cute vibey spot with a little bit of a night life flare. I don’t drink much but still love the feeling of being here. I like the staff here, they’re lovely Thai ladies who are great at customer service. They always check on you to make sure...
