Me and my husband went to Charoen Krung for date night and the food, service and ambiance was 10/10. I think this was one of the most amazing Thai foods I have had. read more

I wanted to go to Yezo arou d the corner and was dissapointed they were closed, but came here around the corner and was not dissapointed.

Came here on a saturday around 12:30 PM and it was relatively empty throughout our meal, so I wouldn't say you need a reservation. It was well-lit and very quiet. I ordered the crispy duck over rice. I didn't really like the flavors in the sauce served on the side, but I did like the brown sauce that was poured over the rice. The duck skin was very crispy, but the meat itself was a bit on the dry side. Overall, solid option for quick thai food, but nothing to write to home about. read more

A hidden gem in Midtown with great Thai food and service! We came on a Sunday night which was surprisingly quiet. We came before 6pm and were able to snag a happy hour priced drink for our meal.

Loved the story and the ambiance. Went for lunch on a beautiful and surprisingly unbusy day. Lots of good options, including some pretty unique dishes. Also some overselling by waitstaff on the flavors so take recommendations with a grain of salt. I'd suggest visiting and trying dishes here you can't find elsewhere, but pass on the standard menu items that sound elevated but at the cost of flavor, especially from (missing) aromatics. Pricy but I'd do again. Especially on a date night or light celebration. read more

The restaurant is beautiful with its mural and Thai decor. Good for a date night or all group. Stopped by for lunch one day and it wasn't busy. The staff was nice. They are known for cocktails that come in a cool Thai inspired design. I tried one that was made non alcoholic for me. Decent. They also have a drink happy hour 12-4. As for food, it was just okay. Tried a vegetarian dish called Tofu Kua Krob which is basically fried tofu cubes with chili garlic on it. I found it to be too salty and a little pricey at $24 for what it was. A Thai friend who joined lunch tried Kra Pow Moo Sup and said it was ok. Overall cute spot but the food flavor felt a bit lacking. Maybe I'd go back to try another item or for drinks. read more

I've had this place saved on my list for a while, and I'm so glad that I finally got to make a reservation and go for dinner on a Wednesday night! I'm really glad that I made the reservation, because the restaurant was packed even at 8pm. It's not a huge restaurant, but they managed to fit a lot of tables. I love that the menu has a combination of authentic Thai dishes, and more typical dishes you would find like Pad Thai. There are so many things from the menu that looked good, so it was really hard trying to narrow it down. In the end, I ordered: - Chive dumplings (5/5) - Massaman tofu curry (5/5) - Mango sticky rice (4/5) The sticky rice was good but I wish the mango was a bit more ripe. The employees were also all super friendly and never made us feel rushed, even when we ended up being the second to last table at the end of the night. I would totally recommend this place! read more

Charoen Krung Thai doesn't look like anything special on the outside, but gosh it's fantastic on the inside. We loved the vibe, service, and especially the food, with dishes you don't find at just any Thai place you walk into. We weren't extremely hungry, so we went with a relatively small order of spring rolls, corn fritters, and widely-praised Panang short ribs. The spring rolls were the sleeper hit of the meal, so fresh and flavorful but better than your standard version, accompanied by a sauce I didn't recognize but that gave a great acidic punch. The short ribs were enormous, definitely a dish for sharing. In addition to the delicious curry and well-braised meat, it had more vegetables than I expected (eggplants and long beans), which was a welcome surprise. I was thrilled to see a bigger N/A cocktail menu than usual. I ordered a Da-Ra Thong, and it was complex and refreshing. I took my first sip as the bartender was walking by, and he paused to check my reaction with a thumbs up and questioning expression - I returned the thumbs up with a smile! It was representative of the great service here, where people were friendly and really cared that you were enjoying your dinner. Downright excellent - go to this place! read more

I come here often for the lunch special but went for dinner for the first time. Ordered the more expensive specialty entree, pad char branzino and found it amazingly crispy and rich. Perfectly deboned and full of other unique garnishes, like green peppercorns and bamboo shoots, soaked in the spicy sauce. The staff was very friendly explaining the menu and treating us to complementary tea afterwards. The interior is nicely lit and not too loud, good for dates. read more

Unfortunately I think the quality went down.. I used to love this place and recommended to a lot of my friends but this time, but food wasn't as good! The crispy bork belly is usually what I love but it was not crispy at all.. Just a lot of meat and had to chew a lot! The thai iced tea also didn't really hit the spot this time.. It wasn't as flavorful which was a bit disappointing. I think that the appetizer that we got (Summer Rolls) was the best! read more

Charoen Krung Thai is a popular Thai spot in midtown. They are definitely bringing traditional flavors with a modern twist to its customers. The night we came here, we tried some standout dishes: The crispy corn fritters and curry puffs, both perfect as appetizers. The ribs were succulent, flavorful, and literally fall-off-the-bone--definitely a highlight. The fried red snapper was delicious and perfectly fried, and the mango salad on the side, I couldn't stop eating it. We mainly ate the fish without the sauce it came with. As for the drinks, we had soju-based cocktails, which were great, but with the full liquor license coming soon, it'll be interesting to see what new drink options they'll offer. The vybe overall is fun and I squealed when our shaved ice dessert came out! It was thai iced tea flavor (which I love) with 2 different kinds of jelly inside. We noticed a lot of locals were dining in and ordering out, which says a lot about how well-loved the place is and how great the service is. It's Definitely worth a visit for date night or a hang out. read more

Charoen Krung Thai serves up some really tasty food! definitely on the pricier side, but the flavors are worth it. I had the duck curry, which was rich, flavorful, and well-balanced. Portions are medium, enough to enjoy without feeling overstuffed. I didnt like dumplings.. deffy tasted mid...The only downside for me was the dining space itself. It's quite small, and because of that, it felt a bit overstimulating. I could hear everyone else's detailed conversations more than my own table's, which made it hard to relax and fully enjoy the meal. Overall, great food and worth a visit if you're more focused on flavors than atmosphere. read more

Charoen Krung Thai has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city, and it's a place I always find myself returning to. The restaurant is spotless, cozy, and welcoming, with beautifully presented dishes that make the experience feel extra special. The staff are just as wonderful, so friendly and attentive, with Mint helping us throughout the meal and making sure everything was perfect. Here's what we ordered: Chive Dumplings - Soft, fresh, and packed with flavor. A simple dish done so well. Mango Avocado Salad - Fresh mango, cashews, cilantro, scallion, tomato, red onion, and avocado tossed with lime juice. The mix of flavors was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Green Curry - Thai eggplant, basil, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers simmered in coconut milk with green chili paste, served with jasmine rice. Creamy, comforting, and just the right amount of spice, with vegetables cooked to perfection. Thai Fried Rice - Wok-fried with Chinese broccoli, scallions, onion, and tomatoes. A classic dish that was full of flavor and cooked beautifully. Mango Sorbet Sticky Rice Special - The perfect sweet ending. The sticky rice was soft, paired with creamy sorbet that wasn't too sweet. For drinks, we had their mocktails Go-Maine and Da-Ra Thong, both not only refreshing but also beautifully presented (almost too pretty to drink!). Consider me a regular in the making and if you're ever in Midtown this is the place to stop by for a meal! read more

Delicious, the pork belly is so crispy and the dishes all had the right spice and flavor

Khao Soi Chicken that's on par with (or even better than) the one from Soothr, but much easier to get a resy. While we're lucky to have so many great Thai restaurants in NYC, Charoen Krung is one of the few I find myself coming back to. From appetizers to entrees, desserts to drinks, the quality of their thai dishes is consistently well above average. They've got the perfect vibes, whether it's a romantic date night or a girls' night out. I celebrated my friend's birthday here, and we had the best time. ＊Sweet Corn Fritters $12 ** I loved aussie breakfast style corn fritters, but this is my first time having a thai style one. It was served with sweet chili sauce and crushed peanuts. These were some addictively tasty little bites to share.  ＊Summer Rolls $13 As the weather warms up, the summer rolls were perfect for a hot evening. Wrapped in rice paper, they were filled with shrimp, minced pork, and fresh veggies--complemented by a tangy green seafood dipping sauce. ＊Khao Soi Chicken $22 *** I loved khao soi and this one 100% satisfied my craving. It came with a giant, tender chicken drumstick. The curry stew was incredibly rich and flavorful, simmered with pickled cabbage and red onion. The combination of soft egg noodles and crispy deep-fried noodles created a complex contrast of textures that we really enjoyed. ＊Ghang Phed Duck $32 ** Their lychee curry duck left such a memorable impression last time that I had to order it again. It was just as delicious as I remembered--the duck was incredibly tender with crispy golden skin, tossed in a rich curry sauce. ＊Mango Sticky Rice $15 Of course we got their seasonal mango sticky rice. We cleaned the plate even though we were super full. The sticky rice had a spot-on texture, drenched in coconut milk and topped with crunchy fried mung bean. Honestly one of the best mango sticky rice in town. read more

Omg how to begin this review, this restaurant was incredibly delicious and so so busy at lunch time. The ambiance was great, a little rowdy with loud conversations around me. I saw office employees enjoying themselves a sit down lunch. I came to this restaurant as I was getting hungry after having received my monthly allergy injections. I had to wait 5 minutes for a table since the business was so busy. Maybe ten minutes after I was seated the lunch rush died down. I ordered myself the complimentary appetizers salad with peanut dressing and steamed dumplings (mixed chicken and shrimp) and for my entree I ordered a chicken pad Thai. I came in hungry, and enjoyed myself the delicious complimentary appetizers. Once my Pad Thai had arrived, I was a bit full from my appetizers. The lunch Pad Thai was delightfully packed with so much flavor. I would say this is one of the best Thai restaurants I have had in the city. The interior design of the restaurant is giving off beautiful aesthetic vibes. I also ordered myself a Thai Iced Coffee and it was so tasty. I enjoyed every sip of my iced coffee. I of course had leftovers from my Pad Thai which is perfect it meant I had dinner. So happy this business is doing well. The staff were friendly during my time here. They were busy but still attentive to its customers. And I think the price point is fair for a lunch special. 10/10 Thai restaurant recommendation on 2nd avenue. read more

I usually do take out from this place so it was cool to dine in for the first time. I always liked their interior design and I was pleasantly surprised that they also had a second floor for more seats. I ordered the Khao soi chicken which tasted standard. I think it could use more chicken since there were definitely more noodles than chicken. Tried the Mango Sorbet sticky rice for dessert and thought it was alright. I think I still prefer the normal mango sticky rice with real mango fruits. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and I've never been disappointed. They can be busy, especially at peak dinner/weekend hours, so try to make a reservation. My favourite dish that I've had here was the bamii moo dang moo krob (pork belly over noodles). The egg noodles were a little chewy (love), and I liked the small amount of light broth at the bottom. Pork was fantastic -- roasted pork really flavourful with a hint of smokiness and complemented the delicious crispy pork belly slices (lovely crunch, not too salty or oily/fatty) super well. The version with duck (bamii duck) was super yummy, too. (Crispy pork belly appetiser is similarly delicious, loved the perfect crisp and how juicy the meat was. Excellent ratio of lean to fatty meat.) Some other highlights: - Duck paloh was really tasty. The meat was rich and tender -- so soft it fell apart easily when chewing -- and the light marinade was the perfect amount of sweetness. (I didn't taste much cinnamon, though, despite the description in the menu). - Krapow moo sup was surprisingly meh, esp considering it's such a classic dish. It wasn't really spicy and the ground pork felt a little unevenly flavoured -- some bites were kind of bland while other bites carried much more of the spice/basil/soy sauce aroma. - Sweet corn fritters were really good, although the price point was a little high. It wasn't too greasy/oily despite how much it was fried, and I really liked the chili sauce that it came with. - For a sweet treat, I was a big fan of the banana sticky rice. The sticky rice was tasty without being too sweet, and it paired wonderfully with the light soft banana and the vanilla ice cream on the side. Overall, the food is always fantastic, and I think the portion sizes were perfect to feel satisfied without being stuffed. Price point is quite reasonable (esp for this quality of food). I expect to be back even more in the future! read more

It's hard to come across good asian food in midtown, but Charoen Krung Thai is a hidden gem serves delicious, authentic and affordable thai cuisine. The restaurant is named after one of the major international food hubs in bangkok, and brings a huge variety of unique thai dishes. We ordered: * Sweet Corn Fritters * Summer Rolls * Ghang Phed Duck * Tom Yum Seafood Noodle (winter special menu) * Bua Loy * Drinks: Rei Rai, Sa-Nhae-Chan Both of the apps were amazing -- the corn fritters reminded me of 玉米烙, and the summer rolls were refreshing with lettuce only (no rice noodle) and both pork and shrimp. The entrees were also delicious, with the ghang phed duck being more rich and savory, while the tom yum seafood noodle had a nice kick. I've been in a coconut phase recently so the bua loy (taro balls in sweet coconut milk) was the perfect end to the meal. read more

I had such a great time here and our server Pioy was incredible! My friends and I kept seeing this on social media and we finally went and ordered many different dishes to try. The presentation in all these dishes were all so beautiful, creative, and colorful - it really made the whole experience enjoyable and fun especially since the flavors were just as explosive. Food: 1. Seafood Hor Mok - This was presented quite cute in a little cauldron but it was a little bit difficult to take things out. I enjoyed the variety of seafood in the pot but I do wish the portion was just a little bigger. 2. Ghang Phed Duck I had definitely been eyeing this on the menu before my visit and I am so happy it lived up to its hype and my expectations, beyond my expectations really. I loved how crispy and juicy the duck was and that sauce with lychees was absolutely divine. I could've honestly eaten this whole dish on my own. 3. Crispy Pork Belly Unfortunately, this appetizer wasn't really worth it in my opinion. I love a good crispy pork belly but it seemed a bit overpriced and not all the pieces were evenly cooked. Some were very dry and maybe 1 or 2 were fine. 4. Bamii Duck The clear soup side it came with was a familiar and nostalgic flavor and my party really enjoyed it. The dish as a whole was alright to us but nothing in particular really stood out. 5. Shrimp Paste Fried Rice This was very unique! I loved the shrimp paste and the assortment of ingredients here. One of the most fun dishes for our group as it invoked a lot of conversation on familiar flavors and childhood food. This was a top tier dish for us! Drinks: All their drinks are so beautifully plated and the whole restaurant certainly knows how to please their customers' eyes for sure. 1. Chor-Muang - This was a beautiful butterfly pea and peach calpico and had a lot of great flavor! 2. Rei Rai - I love a good yuzu drink and this hit the spot for me. I loved how refreshing it tasted. Dessert: 1. Ice-Cream Thai Style 2. Bua Loy 3. Banana Sticky Rice The desserts themselves were delicious and I am so happy with my visit here. It was such a fun way to learn and explore Thai food. I had the privilege to try so many different flavor combinations that I never even considered and I loved how consistent they are with their menu and decorations. Overall, this is a wonderful spot and I would love to return again. Huge thank you to the staff and to Pioy! read more

I recently stopped in for a quick dinner and it was perfect! It was pretty packed when I arrived (it's not a huge restaurant), but they were able to seat me immediately without a reservation. The Crispy Pork Belly appetizer was delicious, particularly with the green sauce. The meat was soft and flavorful, and the skin was very crispy. It definitely worked well as an entree for one person (I got a side of rice with it). I was also eyeing the Chicken Khao Soi, but I'll have to save it for another visit! Staff was friendly. read more

We were pleased to see that there were a good number of vegetarian options since we had someone in our party that preferred that. I was absolutely wowed with their corn fritters. I am from LA and I do not see this on any Thai Menu restaurant. Overall, I may have been really hungry but this is one of those establishments that I could not put my fork down. That is saying a lot since I eat with portion control. The staff were so kind and accommodating as well. They were able to answer all our questions on certain dishes we inquired about. We did go for the Pad Thai as one of the main entrees and it was absolutely satisfying. The place had pretty good seating with dim lighting for the ambience. I would definitely recommend this place because I would eat her again the next time I am in town. read more

Everything is beautiful. The setting, the drinks, the food; it's all fantastic. With so many great spots to eat in NYC, if I go back multiple times it means it was delicious and worth it. I'm telling you all, those sweet corn fritters are to dream for. Every time I go, I need to order another set to go for my husband to have or he'll be upset. I really like the crispy pork belly and khao tod as appetizers too. I appreciate they have both cocktail and mocktail menus to enjoy. From Jarr-Monk-Khut (Thai Tea cocktail with Soju, Citrus, Orange, and Lime Juice) to Chor Muang (Soju ,Butterfly Pea, Rose Syrup, Lime Juice, Peach Calpico), to the classic Thai Ice Tea, I wish I could've ordered every drink on the menu. You've gotta try some of their signature dishes, like the Royal Pad Thai or the Hung Lay Ribs. Some of the signature dishes may be only here as a seasonal special, like the Ocean Tom Yum with Thai Ramen (spring special). Can't go wrong with some noodles, like the Bamii Duck (Crispy duck, crispy wontons and bok-choy over egg noodles served with a clear soup on side). The Ice Cream Thai Style is one of the most unique and refreshing desserts I've ever had; there is no other place that has anything similar. I'll take the palm seeds and grass jelly all day every day. Finally, the staff are some of the nicest people around who will help you out and recommend the best dishes. I'll keep coming back to try new specials and of course get the corn fritters again! read more
