Got their chicken dish with sticky rice, tasted my friends mango mock-tail. The mango drink was very tasty - hints of ginger - and quite refreshing. Service was fast, but they were out of a few items we wanted. Chicken was a little dry and lacked flavor. Papaya salad was good but not spicy as I expected it to me. read more

Chinta Thai - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I would say this was good but not amazing. Some things to note- service; very pushy- asked us 3x what we wanted to order before our last guest arrived. Really loud acoustics in the space, too small of a restaurant. I asked for an extra plate and the server gave me attitude about it. Don't feel that they have it really nailed down service wise. The dishes were beautifully presented and the food was good but there are better Thai spots. The chive pancakes and sauce was the best item we had. We also ordered crab fried rice and chicken pad Thai. Crab fried rice was overly fishy for my taste and lacked flavor and the chicken pad Thai was good but nothing special sadly. I really wanted to give this a better review but alas read more

This thai spot was a hidden gem! We visited Chinta Thai on a weekend afternoon and was able to get seated immediately. I was pleasantly surprised with the Zaab Wings, they were my favorite dish by far. It was heavy on the citrusy flavor, and not too spicy. I liked the Tom Yum soup, and the Pork Belly entree was good but could've done without. I highly recommend the Zaab Wings, but would probably skip the others when visiting again. The thai tea hit the spot, and the service was amazing as well! They changed our plates between dishes, and even gave us wet wipes before and after the wings so our hands were clean. I'd say the portions are pretty small for the price but still satisfying for us two. Can't wait to come back to try other options! read more

Long story short, this has got to be the most underrated contender for best Thai food in NYC. Chinta is a charming authentic Thai spot in Greenpoint worth a visit for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. I came for a Saturday date night with a 6:30pm reservation (thankfully made several days earlier, as there was a handful of parties waiting for tables when I got there). Even with such a beautiful space and fantastic servers, the food is still the star here. For two people, we got 2 apps and 2 entrees -- calamari, wings zaab style, the supreme pad Thai, and the chicken set. Zaab style wings blew me away - the tangy Thai dry rub is a masterpiece. As a huge fan of SE Asian food, I'm always looking for the stamp for authenticity through the subtle yes unmistakable sourness of tamarind and lime juice. It's sour and spicy and just plain delicious. Calamari was good though not particularly memorable. No complaints but would definitely opt to try something more specific to Thai food next time. Supreme pad Thai - again, the perfect flavor profile of an authentic pad Thai, it balanced spice, sugar, and sour to make a stunning pad Thai. It's bundled up in a thin egg and topped with a crispy soft shell crab. It's a must ... basically the centerpiece for our dinner. Chicken set - this grabbed my attention for its variety, as the dish has 2 pieces of chicken, a tangy papaya salad, mixed greens, and sticky rice on the side. It also comes with pork rinds which we requested they leave off. The chicken is cooked well but the star for me was the papaya salad. Definitely want to come back and get some salads for starters because it works well as a palate cleanser. Chinta perfectly balances classy with cozy. It's a small shop yet has a full bar with incredible imaginative cocktails. We were at a bar before dinner so didn't have much appetite to drink but the cocktails are so intriguing I want to try them all!!! An awesome date night and the bill came out to just under $100 with food and a cocktail. I've paid much more for much less!! I really have no complaints and can't wait to come back. I just love trying new small businesses and I'm grateful to have found Chinta. Go Chinta! I'm a fan for life!! read more

I was craving Thai food so my friend went on a hunt to find some for me in the area and we came across Chinta Thai, what a surprise when we found out they had only been open for two days The calamari appetizer was undoubtedly the star of the show, a perfect mix of crispy and delicious. My favorite was their version of a papaya salad, the dressing was amazing and I'd go back just for that Lastly, we had the chicken pad Thai which was really good but I wish they had chili sauce If I wasn't so full I would've tried more things as their menu isn't your regular Thai spot and they seem to have a lot of seafood forward dishes that I will definitely come back for Such a good find, they were all so attentive and lovely Thank youuuu read more

Phenomenal food and service! Their menu is extensive and I love that they showcase signature dishes new to those like me who are not well versed in Thai cuisine. My partner and I started off with Thai tea and coffee (both delicious and not overtly sweet). For apps, I had the shrimp salad (tangy mousse with pomelo and delectable juicy shrimp) and my partner had the grilled pork wraps which he said were phenomenal. For mains, I had the grilled prawns (GET THESE), the sauce is sweet and sour and umami and the prawns were grilled to perfection. My partner got the Kao Soi Gai which he said was delicious and noodles were cooked perfectly. The dishes also come out so beautifully, and the table next to us was like what did you order?! My only complaint for the restaurant is they ran out of their Mango Sticky rice dessert...was a bit bummed on that one. I guess I will have to go again and try it. 5/5, highly recommend! read more

I was really eager to try this place, and it lived up to my expectations. My friends actually enjoyed it even more than I did. It's a cozy spot, so it does get quite crowded. Although we had a reservation for our group of six, we still had to wait a bit due to the restaurant's small size. However, they were pretty efficient. The food was tasty, though I was most excited about the Angry Duck, which turned out to be my least favorite dish. The short ribs were huge and delicious, and since there was only one dessert option, we decided to skip it. Overall, it was a great place for dinner. read more

Good food and friendly service, but... I had lunch here with a friend, and we both really enjoyed the food and the attentive service. However, during our meal, two guests were seated very close to us, and unfortunately, one of them had a very strong, unpleasant odor. It made it quite difficult to enjoy our meal, and we ended up leaving sooner than we planned. I understand this can be a sensitive issue, but I do think the restaurant could be a bit more mindful about seating arrangements in situations like this. A little more attention to guest comfort would make the experience even better. read more

an absolute gem of a restuarant ! happened to stop in for lunch on their second day of opening and it was some of the best thai food i've had in new york -- super flavorful and v reasonably priced for the quantity + quality ! the restaurant is pretty small, but they've done a great job with the details from the cute lil bar area to the bound book menus. will definitely be coming back whenever i'm in the area !! read more

We were really looking forward to dining here, but the experience left a lot to be desired. Despite arriving on time for our reservation, we waited well beyond the quoted time -- longer than the actual time we spent eating. There were open tables when we arrived, and during our meal, we noticed those same tables being rearranged to accommodate other large parties who came in after us. Toward the tail end of our meal, we clearly felt rushed as the staff seemed focused on turning our table over quickly for other incoming guests. We were asked if we wanted dessert, and we responded that we'd like to see the dessert menu. Instead of bringing it, the server came back, cleared our table, and told us there was no dessert available -- only for us to find out other tables being served dessert shortly after. It was disappointing to feel hurried through a meal that we waited longer for than we actually got to enjoy. Not the experience we were hoping for. read more

Excellent food, the service is great too. We went there on a weekend in the city, and we were so happy we did. The food is really good, definitely make sure to get the Pomelo Salad. So many flavors!!! We are very sensitive to spicy food and they had a number of options that weren't spicy, so we appreciate that. Will absolutely return. Great ambience, location. Only positive things, honestly. Very happy we found this spot!! read more

The food was soo good here! I'm usually quite picky about Thai food, but we really enjoyed the calamari, supreme pad thai, and ka praw moo krob.

The BEST pad see ew I've had in all of New York, which is saying a lot since it's my absolute favorite meal and I've tried it at places all over the city. The staff are so sweet and attentive, vibes are great, awesome cocktails. But my hands down favorite part was the creativity with the menu - they have Polaroids of the food items which was a such a unique and personal touch, just like the rest of the restaurant. read more

Ordered chicken pad ke mau for delivery to see if this place was worth the hype and it was! Delicious!

The classics don't disappoint, and I highly recommend going out of your "usual Thai order" comfort zone at this place.

Wow, where do I even start? The food, the ambience, the people - it was all incredible. Chinta is a new greenpoint gem, serving up tantalizing contemporary thai cuisine. This cozy nook lets the food shine; every bite was an elevated experience that showcased a burst of flavor with sophistication and care. The Zaab wings were a hit for this very reason, while the classic version had a beautifully balanced subtlety (a personal favorite of mine). It was also indulgent and rich with standout signature dishes like the Angry Duck and the Pad Thai (served with a whole soft shell crab on top). Every dish knocked it out of the park - and this was just on DAY ONE. The dinner lighting was a romantic candlelight ambience, perfect for dates and friends to share drinks and laughs. The staff and owners were so attentive, kind and thoughtful. There was so much attention to detail in the food, the ambience and more. The menu was a book with bookmarks and polaroids - a homemade touch, with space for patrons to leave love notes. I can't wait to be back to try the brunch menu! read more

A very impressive restaurant just opened in Greenpoint! I love their Polaroid-themed menu. I tried the Supreme Pad Thai with soft shell crab, Pomelo Salad, and Khai Ka Ta--rare finds in NYC.

1st try was a charm! I really enjoy tom yum soup and have tried it all over the world. Excellent! And I do mean Excellent. The Pad Thai was very good. Again my go to dish when visiting a new restaurant and it was on point. The ambiance was comfortable although the space is a bit smaller so was a bit loud. Staff was nice, accommodating, but could have been a bit warmer on the personalities although the hostess was very welcoming with a great smile. All in all, my new Thai spot in Brooklyn.
