Prode — Restaurant in New York

I recently visited this place with a friend. We originally planned to try their lunch special, but due to traffic we ended up going for dinner instead. We started with two appetizers: Thai dumplings and fried calamari. Both were delicious and generous enough to split between us. For mains, I ordered the crab meat fried rice, which was flavorful and satisfying. My friend went with the green curry chicken. She requested it mild, but it still came out quite spicy. She ended up ordering an extra side of rice to help balance the heat - though it came at an additional cost. To go with our meal, my friend ordered a glass of Prosecco, while I tried a cocktail called First Kiss, a fruity mix of different liquors. Both were enjoyable, but I found the drinks a bit overpriced for what they were. We finished with a unique dessert: a trio topping sampler featuring one scoop of mango ice cream with three toppings - nuts, corn, and palm seeds. It was refreshing and tasty, but again, the price felt high for the portion. We were charged $15 for the dessert, but when leaving, we noticed the paper menu by the door listed the dessert as $13. My recommendation is to update the printed materials so prices are consistent - otherwise, it doesn't look professional. The atmosphere was calm, with quiet music by Pablo Cepeda playing in the background. It was pleasant and not loud, so we could enjoy our conversation and meal. Personally, I think Thai music would make the experience feel more authentic, but overall it was nice. Service was excellent. Our waitress, Pang, was attentive, friendly, and quick to refill water or answer any questions. Even though the dining room was empty besides us (though plenty of people seemed to be picking up takeout which was a little bit distracting), she made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, I would recommend Prode to anyone who enjoys Thai food. The flavors were on point, and the service was great. That said, I do think the drinks and dessert were overpriced. Still, it’s worth checking out and deciding...

My experience was just average here. Came here for a friend's birthday dinner on a Friday night, we made a reservation at 7pm for a party of 6 and they won't seat you until your full party is here. Street parking nearby is a bit hard to find so budget in 5-10 minutes additional for that before your reserved time. The place is small so it gets filled up quickly, seems like a popular spot.

The food was average, wasn't too impressed with what we got. We asked for some recommendations and they all came out just alright. For appetizers we got Grilled Squid and Grilled Pork Jowl, both were fine, their portion was good for sharing. We also got a Basil Tom Yum Soup (seafood flavored) and that was pretty spicy.

Noodles were not recommended as their speciality but they taste decent. Drunken noodle shrimp was better than the one with duck (came out kinda dry and not that flavorful). Shrimp pad thai was fine too. Got a Snowflakes Fish and I'm not really sure I understand the fish and veggie style combo... it's like Korean BBQ style but it's just not the same, probably too much uncooked veggies on the side and some random noodles that we didn't know what to do (this was their version of the Korean BBQ style wrap) - not that great and skippable, I'd recommend trying something else, saw some other fried fish that looked better. Green Curry was okay too.

Drinks were pretty, Thai iced tea came unmixed so you could pour in the milk yourself, which was fine and the Lychee Lemonade with Butterfly Pea was pretty, I'd recommend getting that out of the 2 choices.

We also tried their dessert, Bi Go Moi, some sticky rice with ice cream - not what I like, had a salty taste in maybe the cream or something that felt a bit weird to me.

Overall I wasn't too impressed by the food or the experience here. It's probably a place I'd go once to try it out. They did have a 90-minute time limit which they told us when we got seated, but we were still eating when the time was up around 8:30 and they let us stay since it wasn't too busy then (plus we...
