    Shrimp Pad see ew
    Chip P.

    Really enjoyed my lunch stop at Firecracker. The server was very nice and fun to chat with. Was hoping for the beef version of their special pad see ew, but they only had shrimp. It had a looser gravy than I'm used to, but the wide noodles were tasty and it had a nice assortment of vegs. The unicorn limeade added a fun visual to the meal.

    The shrimp was good but that's about it. Everything lacked flavor, but that's just my subjective review. I think they are mild with their flavor and spice because the dish I ordered was apparently one of the spiciest on the menu and I would rate the spice factor a 1/10. NOT spicy at all. But once again everyone has a different palette and what they prefer when it comes to flavor and spice. The ingredients were fresh though and the staff is very friendly.

    Street omelette! Nice and light but with a lot of delicious meat in it. Great texture. Quite impressed!

    Excellent little Thai place in salt city market. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the dishes we got were! I will for sure stop here again the next time I am in the area. The Thai street omelette, well, I have t had one this authentic in a hot minute. It's a very popular street food back in Thailand, and for good reason. The knee mao had a really excellent flavor, and some nice subtle (for us) heat to it. Firecracker rolls were good enough that I barely had a chance to try one, haha. My partner had already finished most of them off. The mango with sticky rice? Heaven. Pure, ripe, entire half of a mango heaven.

    Drunken noodles + unicorn lime aid

    Great fast Thai food in downtown Syracuse! The service was very fast and the selection was excellent. I had the drunken noodles with the unicorn lime aid (a must-try drink). Ambiance is casual as it's located within Salt City Market, which has a bunch of other co-ops.

    I only tried the firecracker roll and it was good. It was not the best egg roll I have had and the sauce that came with it was yummy. I would like to go back and try a few more items from this place. The owner was super friendly and answered my questions about spice levels.

    Spicy Basil Chicken
    Keith J.

    Stopped over Firecracker Thai Kitchen Located in the Salt City Market. This is my second time ordering from them. It did not disappoint in the least! The Salt City Market. One of my most favorite spots! Awesome food, fantastic people and amazing atmosphere! I love ordering from a few different vendors and sharing with my wife. This evening the Spicy Basil Chicken from Firecracker Thai Kitchen stole the show! First , Sara who is the owner/chef and her team were fantastic. Sara was welcoming and a fun person to talk to. The Spicy Basil Chicken was out of this world. A perfect amount of heat that didn't overtake any of the flavors of this colorful dish. The sunny side egg was a perfect compliment to the rice. I love that crispness to the outer edge of the egg as it added some nice texture. The Thai Wings are some of the best specialty (meaning not just the everyday pizza place sauces) flavored. The wings are big and juicy. They have a nice crispy exterior. The chili sugar that coats them has a nice sweetness to each bite. The Crispy Firecracker Rolls are just that, crispy! They comes with an addicting peanut dipping sauce. I'm looking forward to my next trip to The Salt City Market. No matter what vendor I order from the Firecracker Thai Kitchen will definitely be one of them again. So much more on their menu I want to try!

    Tried this place in salt city market for the first time for lunch. Very good and perfect amount without getting food coma! We sat on the salt city bar side (where the top left drink is from) Cannot wait to come back and try more on the menu. My friend had the firecracker roll and was raving about it and the sauce it comes with!

    Ordered takeout from here and it was simply amazing! The burger was juicy and flavorful and the cheese curds were delicious. The fries stole the show though crispy and fresh. Service was amazing, even when I changed my mind about what I wanted.

    Spicy vegetarian stir fry
    Angela R.

    Firecracker Thai was the first vendor inside the Salt City Market I officially tried post-opening. When I ordered the vegetarian stir fry, the owner Sara was nice enough to double check that adding egg was ok because I accidentally asked for the "vegan" stir fry. (My fault for not wearing glasses-- but note to any actual vegans out there, check if the food vendors can accommodate! Most are happy to!) The stir fry included a vegetarian meat substitute. Usually, I don't buy these kinds of products for myself at home or order them out-- I just omit meat. Most other Thai restaurants just use tofu or vegetables as a protein source, but I was a little intrigued by the vegan scrambles here. The dish was very tasty, and full of the flavor of fresh basil. I'd order it again, though I am intrigued to see what other menu options are there in the future!

    spicy shrimp salad
    Danielle M.

    This is a favorite spot in the Salt City Market and probably has the friendliest staff. Most recently I had their shrimp salad, which was huge and gorgeous - warning, though, the dressing has quite a burn! Next time, I will get the dressing on the side so that I can apply it very sparingly. Note that some of the menu items rotate and are not always available.

    Firecracker Roll
    Olivia M.

    I absolutely loved the Firecracker Roll!!! It came out piping hot and had so much flavor even before I tried it with the peanut sauce. The outside was perfectly crunchy holding the fresh tasting noodles and vegetables inside. The chef was so kind and even told me about the water station nearby if I wanted to get a drink. This was my first stop at the Salt City Market and I received a warm welcome! I will definitely be returning very soon!

    Glad to see they have vegan options. Lunch was delicious. However, I wish it had been spicier.

    Way overpriced for small portions and not much heat. Had the egg roll and basil chicken entree.

    I have been a long time lemon grass goer and fan! I have been here countless times, and never have…read moreI had a bad meal, ever. Whenever somebody comes to syracuse and wants to go to a nice restaurant I am always recommending lemon grass. We went last night for a birthday and as usual we had a great time. Our waitress was great (Gina I believe) and the ambiance is amazing. It is such a beautiful space outside and inside. If you are on the fence to go, you should. There are so many options. Everyone loved what they got. I wish I could come here more often!

    I stopped by with a large group (around 20 people) on Thursday night. We were taken straight to a…read moreprivate room so we had a lot of space with two waiters assigned to our table. The restaurant itself was such a large space with nice seating. Service throughout the meal was good but a bit slower. For appetizers, we had plates laid out for us to grab from. The eggplant items and spring roll I think were the best. We all got a large plate of salad which felt very generic with no Thai flavors. For my main, I chose the chicken in red curry. The curry was good, a bit mild though. The chicken itself was a little bit dryer than I was hoping for but flavor was good. I do also wish they had more veggies in the dish as well but the ones that were in there were well cooked. It would have been nice if there was more eggplant and hopefully also some bamboo shoots as well. Finally, for dessert I had the warm chocolate cake. The cake was tasty - basically just a chocolate lava cake. Additionally the ice cream it came with was a nice addition. All in all, a fine meal option in the area.
