    PAD THAI (Gluten Free), TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP (Gluten Free), CHICKEN DUMPLING
    Maribel H.

    The food was sooo delicious...very flavorful! I ordered the pad Thai, chicken dumplings and tom yum noodle soup. The soup was DELICIOUS!!! The service is fast and attentive. Vibe is super cozy. Loved it!

    My favorite Thai spot in the city! They have an amazing green curry. Anytime I'm craving a Thai iced tea, this is where I go. The restaurant is small but there's usually a table or two available. Super cozy. Attentive staff. Quick turnaround. Check it out if you're nearby.

    I had a wonderful time at Der Krung. The snug, interior setting had about five families worth of booths, which we snagged the last of sitting down for dinner. There was only one person working front of house, but he did an excellent job juggling all the tables' needs. We got our food surprisingly fast, in about 10 minutes from ordering, getting the Chicken Satay kebab, massaman curry, pad thai, spring salad, and kee mao. Everything was very flavorful, filling, well-prepared, and matching its price point. The one exception was the pad thai, which was super heavily seasoned. Despite one of the most popular dishes at a Thai place falling flat, I was still very happy with my experience. I'd give it closer to a 4.5/5 , but would recommend you try it if in the neighborhood!

    PAD THAI (Gluten Free)

    They have a good lunch deal here where you get an entree with salad. I liked the pad thai but I wished it was spicier and it was pretty generic, nothing stood out. The restaurant is quite small. The staff were nice and we received the food quickly.

    Curry Puff

    A rather cozy hole-in-the-wall Thai joint on the upper border of Hell's Kitchen. Pretty standard menu, where the noodle dishes seem to be the local favorite. Everything we had was tasty and satisfying. Fresh Summer Roll: Got this because of a vegetarian at our table. It was pretty standard for a spring roll and I guess the fried tofu was an ok substitute for shrimp. Though I really did like the dipping sauce which was a mash up of sweet chili and peanut sauce. Curry Puff: For the non-vegetarians at the table. A flaky empanada-like shell with lightly curried chicken bits inside. Tasted nice with the tangy vinegar sauce. Pad Thai w/ Chicken: Kind of a cliché to order nowadays, but it's just so delicious. Perfectly springy rice noodles that absorbed so much of the yummy sauce. Lots of peanuts and egg bits. And hearty chicken. Maybe I'm basic for ordering this, but I can live with that. Kee Mao w/ Crispy Pork Belly: Thick rice noodles that are "drunk" with savory sauce. I got the 2-star spicy and it tasted like they mixed in a bunch of sambal, though wasn't too spicy. The noodles were fine, but the Pad Thai noodles tasted better. Though the pork belly protein option was huge! It didn't feel as fatty as pork belly though, more like boneless pork chop with some fatty bits too. Get the pork belly if you're really hungry!

    Came here at 5pm on a Tuesday, before a 7pm Broadway show, and the place was empty. Where have you heard that before? Wife's $19 eggplant dish came with hunks of eggplant, fried tofu, bell peppers, onions and sliced carrots in a spicy basil sauce. Went well with the white rice, as all the vegetables had plenty of spice with the bell peppers and the chili type sauce. Wife loved the eggplant, and I loved the fried tofu. The $20 lovely nest was the Thai version of the bird nest version found in Chinese restaurants. Came with chicken, onions, bell peppers, carrot, cashew nuts and pineapple in a rice crispy noodle nest. Pineapple sauce so sweet, I used it as dressing for the leaves of salad used as decoration on the bottom. Resembles cashew nut chicken. Mixed it with the white rice to tone it down a bit, but I treated it like a stew. Place was packed by the time we left at 5:40pm, as place has at most half a dozen tables, maybe 4 seating 2 people and 2 seating 4 people. Asked for medium spicy eggplant, but found it lacking in enough heat for our tastes. I guess locals not used to serious heat found in CA cooking back home.

    RED CURRY (Gluten Free)
    Aparna R.

    The most wonderful red curry and rice (one bowl of rice is included!). Portion sizes that just make sense; although, I ended up enjoying the red curry so much that I asked for a second bowl of rice. The service was fantastic. The restaurant is quite small, so large parties likely wouldn't fit, but we really enjoyed our visit. I will be back!

    The place is tiny (seats 15 at most). Mostly tables for two. The biggest table is for four. You'll be sitting very close and tight with your neighbors. Not for large groups. This place gets packed after work--everyone goes in for a quick meal. In and out in 30 minutes. Get a reservation, if you'd like to guarantee yourself a spot. We got Thai iced tea, KEE MAO (Drunken Noodle) and chicken PANANG CURRY. I was surprised to see how the prices have jumped from $14 to $17 per entree. You can find cheaper, same quality Thai all over 9 Avenue and the rest of Manhattan. The food was standard and nothing I'd return for. Standard Thai ice tea. Drunken noodle with pork ($17) was hearty and had enough protein to noodle. Chicken Panang curry was tasty. Biggest complaint--the door was opened every two minutes (deliveries, patrons coming and going), so everyone at the restaurant had to sit in their coat. I got so cold, that I could barely move my fingers when the check came. Definitely try to avoid peak meal times, so you are not subjected to constant gusts of wind and cold. Service was nonexistent.

    The place is small, but I've been to smaller establishments and it adds to to small, cozy aesthetic of the restaurant! I came in at 7:30 and was able to get a seat, despite it being 80% full. I know you might want to get pad see ew and pad thai, BUT trust me a true thai establishment will be better than just those dishes and it was! I got the Noodle Curry with chicken and it was warm, soupy, and heartening to my soul. Would definitely come back again! My friend and I also got the curry puffs as an app and it was delicious! In terms of service they did forget I got an order to go for my bf, but immediately rushed the order and received it within 5 minutes. Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Taste: 5/5

    GREEN CURRY (Gluten Free)
    Yvonne M.

    Cute little Thai spot with fresh delicious food! I really enjoyed the tofu summer rolls, fresh vegetables and the peanut sauce is yummy. The pad Thai was flavorful and glad the noodles weren't dry, green curry was delicious too and has a little kick to it & we asked for mild too. Staff was very friendly and attentive, definitely will come back again!

We were seated promptly , then given our customary beverage orders (Thai iced tea, of course). And while mulling over the menu with excellent choices , our server Salina suggested certain items for dinner. Her recommendations were spot on. We tried the papaya salad, soft shell crab, deboned duck, crispy pork with noodles. And the crispy branzino... everything was devoured quickly!! The dishes were full of flavor, but some were lacking in spiciness(our request really since we had a friend who could not tolerate spices). The post-meal dessert was very good as well.

They had the both regular, lunch special and drinks menu. I ordered the crab fried rice dish from lunch menu. It came with a salad bowl. The salad just had lettuce and cherry tomatoes, mixed with some delicious dressing. The crab fried rice came with some cucumbers and two sauces. The sauces had such spicy kick, they enhanced the flavor of the rice and crab so much. They were excellent dipping sauce for the cucumbers too. Just loved the whole dish. Being lunch special, the portion was small, so I was sad when the plate was empty but I was still craving for more. For $32, I feel they could have served a bit more. But other lunch menu dishes were mostly around $18. The service was excellent. Several staff members constantly walked around the floor like Marshals, takings ordering, serving dishes, refilling water, taking out empty dishes, and doing checkouts right on the spot. After guests left, they were turning over the empty tables super quickly. No wonder we a table in such short time. Since it's so close to my work place, I'll be back here soon for sure to try other dishes.

They had a very respectable pad see ew beef - sweet and savory, good amount of egg, a little stronger bitter broccoli but otherwise a good dish, good quantity to fill you up even though in the bowl it seemed smaller than it actually was with the rice noodle cooked well. The steamed sea bass with garlic and lime (Pla Neueng Manow) had beautifully cooked sea bass with a very nice spicy/sour/savory green garlic sauce which I'll have to try again. The fried version is supposedly very good, too, and the one person that always gets the basil fried rice had a wonderful aroma that we'll have to try again later. Mango sticky rice was a tasty dessert (although we probably didn't need the 3 orders they recommended for our table of 6), though usually like I like the purple rice version better, and came with a very cute shovel spoon. They gave a free birthday dessert of caramel delight which was ok, crumbly and sweet (I'm not a caramel fan but others liked it). Overall, good experience and solid food - while not the best Thai I've ever had, this certainly is a keeper for the Midtown East area. Will come again soon to try the lunch specials! Service was a little slow due to how busy they were, but do appreciate the birthday candle for the birthday friend!

A quick ride on the LIRR or E Train will have you enjoying some of the best Thai food NYC has to offer. For me it all started with their Shrimp Croquettes that were fried to perfection and packed with flavor, then it was the Crispy Pork Belly, and for a second, I had to ask myself, am I in the Dominican Republic?! The crunch, seasoning, and flavor in every bite let me know immediately that they understood the crispy pork belly assignment! Let's not forget the cocktails! Each drink paired beautifully with the appetizers and dishes throughout our dining experience. Now, let's talk about the entrées. Their menu ranges from specialty seafood dishes to authentic, modern Thai cuisine. As a seafood lover, I especially appreciated the generous amount of Lump Crab meat in the Southern Crab Curry. The flavor was rich, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. But the unexpected STAR of the night was the #TaroCustard! Who knew that the "everything bagel energy" could transfer so effortlessly into a dessert?! It was those crispy fried shallots that did it for me! If you're a true #Foodie, you already know sometimes it's that unexpected flavor assist/combination that creates pure magic on your tongue.

These were new on the summer menu and I hope they stay! The dipping sauce in the calamari was sweet, tangy and syrupy with some heat but not too sweet. It was good without the sauce but with it, made it even better. The soft shell crab larb, wow, blew us away. The crunch and heat factor with the basil "salad" was out of this world. It is definitely spicy but is soo tasty. From their "privileged" menu, we had the duck chu chee which is a crispy roasted duck in a creamy mildly spicy red curry - the duck and curry was soo bomb, super crispy and stands out from other places. Finally the Royal Thai Spiced Lamb which is grilled lamb chops with karee curry sauce, snow pea tips and roti, sooo flavorful and so good. The veggies and the lamb paired so well with the curry sauce. It was not gamey or chewy but after all the appetizers I could not finish this dish. For dessert, we did try the Khao Neaw Puak which is a taro sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Again different but I think I will pass on this next time. We loved the food and will definitely be back!

I happily introduced her to my two favorite go tos: the crab fried rice and the steamed branzino. The crab fried rice was nothing like I was used to. Even at some of the other notable Thai restaurants I've been to, their crab fried rice presentation was basic compared to this one. The egg on this fried rice was soft and melty the soon it touches your tongue, and we didn't even have to chew it. It melted perfectly with the buttery crab and the rice was so warm and soft. It was a sizable portion but it didn't take us long to gobble it all down. Then came the steamed branzino. The presentation here I want to say is so unique that it blew me away. The fish was cut so that the head and tail of the fish was chopped off (a little disappointed but glad it was clean cut), the fish was so soft you would question if it was even fish...the soup was lightly seasoned with chili and lime and it wasn't super overpoweringly spicy that you can still taste the fish flavor. Everything was delicious and they even had a pre fixe menu that I will definitely come back and try again! My drink I ordered was also very creative and a mix of strong bourbon with the creaminess of Thai tea. Very interesting combination but I don't hate it! It was strong and welcoming and I want to try the other drinks when I come back as well. As pictured, the drink menu is beautiful and our server came back and forth to make sure everything was okay. We actually stayed past closing hours but they weren't rushing us (which was very hospitable of them)

My friend ordered the pork chop for his entree and it came with two large chops. Good to take back as leftovers.
