Myrtle Thai in Brooklyn offers a delightful experience for those seeking flavorful, authentic Thai cuisine in a cozy and casual atmosphere. Located in the heart of the neighborhood, the restaurant is both convenient and welcoming, attracting a diverse mix of locals and visitors. The interior is simple, with warm lighting and modest décor that exudes a relaxed vibe, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff is generally friendly and attentive, making sure that diners are well taken care of throughout their visit.
One of the standout features of Myrtle Thai is its extensive menu, offering both classic Thai dishes and a few inventive takes on traditional flavors. Favorites like Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Tom Yum soup are prepared with care and attention to detail, often striking the right balance between sweet, spicy, and savory. The freshness of the ingredients is evident, with crisp vegetables and perfectly cooked proteins elevating the dishes beyond the standard fare. For those with dietary restrictions, the restaurant is accommodating, offering vegetarian and vegan options upon request.
While many dishes shine, the appetizers deserve a special mention. The crispy spring rolls and chicken satay are particular crowd-pleasers, providing a great start to the meal. The portions are generous, making them perfect for sharing, and the accompanying sauces—whether peanut or sweet chili—complement the flavors beautifully. If you're a fan of spice, the spicy papaya salad is a must-try, offering a refreshing yet fiery kick that pairs well with the more indulgent mains.
Pricing at Myrtle Thai is quite reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Most entrees hover around the $12-$16 range, which is a great value for Brooklyn, particularly for such well-executed Thai cuisine. The portion sizes are satisfying, ensuring you won't leave hungry. For those on a budget, the lunch specials are particularly appealing, offering many of the popular dishes at a discounted price. The restaurant also provides reliable delivery service, a bonus for those who want to enjoy their meal from the comfort of home.
One potential downside of Myrtle Thai is that the restaurant can get crowded during peak hours, especially on weekends. The small dining area fills up quickly, so reservations are recommended for dinner if you're dining in. However, this is a minor inconvenience given the quality of the experience. Overall, Myrtle Thai is a gem in Brooklyn, offering a fantastic balance of authentic flavors, friendly service, and affordability, making it a go-to spot for Thai food lovers...
Read moreNEVER AGAIN!!! No wonder why they are Graded B. Today's experience 4/17/15. So I decide to try this Thai restaurant for lunch with my husband. While seated I observed the server bring out Golden Fritters to a table seated across from us. As the server walks away I notice the customers saying that was not what they ordered..they call the server and tell him they ordered the salad not fritters. The waiter takes the 2 plates, rolls his eyes and returns back to the kitchen. Now he comes to our table to take our order. We order 2 orders of the Golden Fritters from the lunch menu and our entrée. The server immediately comes out w/2 plates of Golden Fritters. I look at them...touch them to see if they were HOT (freshly made) and they weren't. Just as I thought...he brought out the 2 plates of fritters he had taken from the previous customer. I now call the server and ask him if these fritters were freshly made. He looked at me like I had 5 heads and stuttered with his reply. Why...because he knew he just got caught. He said "um I'm sorry wrong table" and took the plates away. They so called made me a fresh batch with my entrée. (how do I know its fresh..i don't...chance I took) How dare he bring me someone else returned food. I don't know if they sneezed, coughed, touched etc. this food. I can just imagine how many other customers they did this too. First and last time...its a shame because the stir fry chicken and vegetables were good. But dishonest service is UNEXCEPTABLE! This is how people get SICK over dumb bullshit like this. BEWARE AND OBSERVE!!!!!!!!!!...
