Pattanian Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

Was feeling a bit homesick for SE Asia cos I only moved here 6 weeks ago, and this hit the spot.

This is NOT americanised Thai food. It was a fairly authentic southern Thai green curry.

And very reasonably priced. Wonderful family owned place run by super warm, friendly people

So happy this is just 500 m from my apartment cos I can go back anytime I’m craving for a taste of home.

Just wanted to edit this months later and say that (as my husband agrees), this place is the real deal.

We have been for many wonderful dinners and have gotten to know the owners and staff, who are so genuine.

This remains our go-to place for a taste of home. In fact, we walked in one night during Ramadan, and they welcomed us like family, and then fed us LAKSA and satay FOR FREE !!! This meal isn’t on their menu - this was their family dinner, which they shared with us.

The satay was excellent (Malay style). And the laksa (which I’ve been craving since I left Singapore) was not like what I’m used to (in Singapore, it’s more like a soupy stew with a quite fishy and sour overdone - doesn’t sound good, but it’s heaven). This was a whole different laksa that my husband and I found equally divine. So much so that we didn’t speak, just kept going nomnom as we ate and enjoyed. I totally love this place and am so happy to live...

This place is easily my new favorite place. I travel for work, and I try Thai restaurants all over. The chicken satay was flavorful and incredibly moist and tender. The peanut sauce was rich! Many places make their pad thai sauce far too sweet. This was a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy and prepared perfectly! I would have tried the Tom Yum, but I was too full, so that is next time! The lovely lady running the restaurant was so sweet! Please give this place a try!

Edit: 5 days later, I came back to try the Tom Yum and was not disappointed! Started with the crab Rangoon. The wanton wrapper was light and crunchy. The filling was delicious, and the sauce was perfect. The soup was beautiful. The broth is simple and light with a nice light kick (I asked for medium, and it was perfect). Onions and mushrooms were soft with a nice crunch to the onion. Chicken was tender. I finished the whole bowl. The service is excellent! This place feels like going to your grandmother's house for lunch. Nothing I've had so far tastes commercially made. There's so much more to try on the menu so I will...

We were in the mood for some good drunken noodles. My wife found this place through Muslim foodie review. The ambiance, and atmosphere of the restaurant are pretty decent. We had a friendly young lady who approached us as soon as we entered the place. We knew what we wanted- drunken noodles and fried fish with papaya salad. However, our server told us the fried fish may take a minimum of 15-20 minutes to cook, with two kids with us, we didn't want to wait that long, so I ended up ordering the orange chicken. Both of our dishes were good and flavorful. Their price is also relatively reasonable. I also like the fact that they designated a small space for prayer. I would...
