    The salmon was the worst salmon I've ever had. It was BEYOND DRY and flavorless and practically rubber and inedible and unchewable. The broccoli was also flavorless and very hard. For Thai food, I was surprised it had negative flavor and supreme dryness. The drunken noodles was mild but SUPREMELY SPICY (and I love spice) like first bite and every bite after continuously burned my mouth. The only good thing was Thai tea, thankfully.

    This was kind of a let down I'm not going to lie. After reading all the amazing reviews I had very high hopes and expectations coming into this meal. Got a beef pad see ew and a shrimp curry dish. Both could've used a lot more flavor and spice. Drinks were decent, and so was pricing.

    Loved this Thai bistro in Bushwick, Brooklyn! On arrival, I noticed the beautiful exterior with vines surrounding the front door. As soon as you walk in you find a simple, classic design that warmly invites the visitor in. There is a tree in the middle of the restaurant that adds a touch of beauty to the ambiance of the restaurant. There's also a lot of natural light coming into the restaurant with its many glass panels. For appetizers we got Gui Chal Tord, which is a pan fried chive cake with sweet soy sauce. It was crispy and simply yummy. We also got the Pla Muk Tord, which is crispy fried calamari served with a spicy mayonnaise. The calamari was soooo delicious. For our mains we had the Gaeng Dang, which is a Thai style red curry with bamboo shoots, basil leaves, carrots, eggplant and bell pepper simmered in a coconut milk. For our protein choice, we chose stewed beef. The curry was absolutely delicious and felt quite light eating it. We also got the Pad Prik Khing Goong, which is spicy sautéed shrimp with bell peppers, string beans lime leaves with Prik Khing Chili Paste. We asked for it to be spicy and boy was it. The dish was so good to devour. We ended the evening with the chocolate lava cake with coconut ice cream, and the lychee crème brûlée. Crème brûlée is one of my favorite sweets so having it with a lychee twist peaked my curiosity and am I glad that I did. It added the perfect addition to a scrumptious meal. The service was outstanding and really added to whole experience.

    There's new Winter cocktails for the season and the presentation was so cool! These cocktails screamed Christmas and paired well with all the delicious Thai food. The two cocktail names are Christmas Eve and Whimsical Smoke. For non-alcoholic drinks, I got the Mango Meadow and Lychee Thai Iced Tea. The mocktails were so refreshing. The food I ordered was: Taro Puff Peek Gai Mak Khamin Tord Goong Nueng Ma Nao Pad Thai Lobster Tail Khao Phad Pla Mueng Moo Yaang I liked the sweet and sticky wings and their shrimp salad was fresh and spicy. I never had squid ink in fried rice, but that dish was so yummy and had a whole fried octopus tail! The Pad Thai with a lobster tail was my fav. The lobster was grilled and the noodles were slightly sweet and tamarind-y. The pork chops were super tender and came with a great dipping sauce. Service was great and food came out fast. Also, from 4-7 PM Mondays-Thursdays, their happy hour deal gets you a free cocktail if you buy 2!

    As always, amazing! Second time attending. I looked forward to this visit. It was well worth it.

    Really cozy ambiance, good service, and food! My friend and I came here after walking around the neighborhood thrifting. We both loved the interior with their rattan chairs. The atmosphere was really calm and bright, and the staff were very polite! We shared the crab rangoon, the green curry and shrimp pad thai. Overall the food was good and I wonder if we weren't in such a rush if I could have updated the spice level.

    Spring rolls really yummy

    BEST PAPAYA SALAD I'VE EVER HAD, 10/10. It was seasoned so perfectly; just the right amount of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy (it's not very spicy). I would return just for this alone. I also tried the gui chai tord, pan fried chive cakes, that tasted increasingly better the more I ate it. I loved how softly fried the outside was, but still soft and chewy (kind of like a mochi consistency) on the inside. 4.5/5 For my entree I ordered the pad thai with tofu and it was good but it might've been overshadowed by how amazing the papaya salad was. I think I would've liked this dish more if it was more tangy/sour and spicy. 3.5/5

    I was looking for some lunch not too far from home and found this spot. I found street parking which wasn't hard because it was really in the day. I stopped by early afternoon and there were a few customers eating inside. I was surprised how big and beautiful the restaurant is inside. I ordered my lunch to go and had to wait about 10 minutes. I ordered the basil chicken lunch special that came with a small salad. I requested a mild spicy flavor and the food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely return to check out some other menu items. However, this time I would like to sit and enjoy the ambience inside.

    Forever Thai: A Culinary Oasis in Williamsburg Forever Thai, nestled in the heart of East Williamsburg, is a culinary oasis that transports you to the vibrant streets of Thailand without leaving New York City. With its stunning modern decor and captivating lighted tree at its center, the restaurant creates an enchanting, intimate, inviting ambiance. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's design is a perfect blend of contemporary elegance and traditional Thai elements, creating a visually stunning space that is both stylish and comfortable. The lighted tree, a restaurant's centerpiece, adds a touch of magic and creates a unique dining experience. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Forever Thai and was immediately impressed by the quality of the food. I ordered the pad see ew with broccoli, and it was absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the broccoli was fresh and crisp, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The sauce was a delightful balance of sweet, salty, and savory, making every bite a culinary delight. What set Forever Thai apart from other Thai restaurants I've visited was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. It was clear that the chefs took great care in sourcing the best possible ingredients for their dishes. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, capturing the true essence of Thai cuisine. Beyond the food, the service at Forever Thai was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to recommend dishes based on my preferences and ensured that I had a memorable dining experience. If you're looking for a truly exceptional Thai restaurant in Williamsburg, Forever Thai is a must-visit. With it's beautiful decor, delicious food, and impeccable service, it's a culinary gem that will leave you wanting more. Pics: were leftovers that I took home for dinner. I shall return!

    I had been wanting to try out this spot in my neighborhood for some time. Finally went last night. The food was amazing. I had a Thai Iced tea and Pad Kee Mau. Food was delicious. Hubby had some appetizers that he also enjoyed. The taro puffs were ok, lacked a little flavor. Chicken wings were tasty but not deeply fried as described. Was looking for more of a crunchy skin. The spring rolls were good but he didn't enjoy the filling.

    Order: - Pad See Ew (5/5) - Pad Kee Mau (4/5) - Peach Lemonade (4/5) Pros: - Great tasting Thai food - A lot of options to choose from, ranging from the classics to extravagant dishes - Quick and kind service. Our food came out very quickly - Cute aesthetics Cons: - Overpriced. The noodles/fried rice dishes start at about $15 and cost additional for premium meats Overall: Great tasting Thai food but a bit overpriced imo

    Rua Thai is another Thai restaurant stone's throw away from our home. We came here to try this…read moreplace with our neighbors. The place was relatively quiet for a Saturday night. Our group of 4 started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few appetizers to share, namely: Som tum papaya salad and dumplings curry. For the main entree, my eyes caught the attention of clay pot mix-fried rice with shrimp, chicken, sweet sausage, and my partner chose shrimp pad thai. Nothing really stood out with the dishes; I found it to be a bit Americanized, having eaten in so many Thai restaurants around New York City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here; our food came in timely fashion, and the customer service is good as well, but it's probably not your place if you are seeking a more authentic Thai-style cooking.

    We started with two drinks: The Butterfly Pea Lychee Soda (two toned, floral, light, and…read morerefreshing) and the strawberry guava fizz (sweet, fruity, and bubbly). The shrimp donuts were a must!! Famous for its crispy, savory, and addictive flavor. Easily our favorites!! The Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns brought real heat, creativity, and tang. We also tried the crispy chicken with egg noodles, which was rich, saucy, crunchy, and a fun twist on comfort food. Our dessert was mango coconut sticky rice which was soft, sweet, and the perfect finish!!

Every single dish was fantastic and came with little chili sauces or garnishes or spicy sauce etc which brought the dishes together beautifully. The hostess was extremely friendly and kind and gave her recommendation as well. She said takeout would be 15 minutes (it would be hour long wait to dine in at 8pm on a Thursday night). They were absolutely packed despite the time. We ordered the pad see ew with shrimp, the crab fried rice (amazing), the Pak Mor which is a sweet and savory rice roll that comes with coconut cream dipping sauce (drool worthy), and last but not least the Kao Tom Haeng which also comes with a tasty broth on the side. I'd say that the pad see ew was the weakest dish of what we ordered but it was still tasty. I think it would have been nicer with a different protein, perhaps chicken or tofu. My friends and I have never dined in but the ambience looks very warm and inviting. If you love delicious and flavorful food then this is the place for you! Look no further!! Highly recommend!!!!

Our server was excellent--super friendly and attentive. The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the spring rolls, khao soi, and the banana leaf-wrapped branzino. The khao soi was definitely the standout. It was so rich and flavorful, but also really spicy, so pay attention to the chili pepper heat rating! The only disappointment was the branzino. We were expecting a delicate filet wrapped in a banana leaf, but it was actually more like a dense mound of flaked fish. It had a pretty fishy taste and just wasn't for us. We'd skip it next time. The restaurant has a really cozy, inviting vibe, but it's loud. It was hard to have a conversation without feeling like we were shouting.

PLEASE get the mango stick rice cocktail omg it was gone in like 5 sips because it was so good. The tuna ceviche was so refreshing and the sauce had a little kick to it which I absolutely loved! It was like a sprinkle of Thai on a classic tuna ceviche. Note the taro chips are a little thicker than a typical chip! The pork jowl wasn't as crispy as I expected but it was still flavorful and the portion size was huge, considering how it was an appetizer. We got pineapple lychee crispy duck, crab fried rice, and kana crispy pork over rice as our entree. ALL WERE SO GOOD! The curry for the pineapple lychee crispy duck was so creamy and flavorful, with the duck portion being huge and being the perfect texture. I loved that it was crispy and didn't get soggy fast in the curry. The crab fried rice was top tier as there were SO MANY HUGE CRAB PIECES!! You can definitely tell that it had flavors of seafood/crab.. they did not skimp out! And the kana crispy pork over rice was huge portion as well, but note that it was a big strong/saltier than the other dishes. For dessert, the pandan coconut pudding custard was SO yummy. It was warm and so flavorful and creamy!! I fell in love with Brooklyn even more after coming here. Highly recommend!!

Loved that every table had fresh flowers; you can tell they really care about the little details. We ordered quite a bit and honestly, everything was on point: · Lychee Thai Iced Tea & Yuzu Pop - both refreshing and not too sweet (huge plus for me since I don't have a big sweet tooth). · Moo Ping - solid start to the meal. · Salmon Mango (GF) - the salmon was cooked through (which I asked for), and the mango salad underneath was light and tangy. The sweet fruit with the savory fish worked way better than I expected. · Pineapple Fried Rice - came with shrimp, nice wok aroma, and that perfect sweet-tangy pineapple kick. · Pineapple Lychee Crispy Duck (GF) - duck skin was nice and crispy, and the coconut-based sauce with lychee and pineapple kept it from feeling heavy or greasy. · Branzino Chili Lime (GF) - came out piping hot, classic Thai-style sour broth that paired perfectly with the fish. No fishy taste at all, and the texture was tender. Even the drinks and dessert weren't overly sweet, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, really enjoyed the meal here -- flavors are solid, service was friendly, and you can feel the effort they put into the experience. Definitely coming back!

    Lunch in Brooklyn during in-between meetings of my professional duties of a Wednesday afternoon…read moresummons Thai cuisine. Pad Kee Mao (aka Drunken Noodles), chicken $15.00 Stir-fried flat rice noodle, bamboo shoots, garlic, basil, fresh chili, onion, carrot, string bean, bell pepper, long hot chili The flat rice noodle quantity was sufficient, but minimal and there were too much onion, insufficient string bean, two paucity pieces of carrot. I dislike bamboo shoot which is not a standard ingredient for this particular entrée. I think the bamboo shoot tainted this entrée. I am a traditionalist conservative which bean sprouts is a good substitute variation for bamboo shoot vegetable including string bean. This entrée is my favorite default and as a caveat, if any Thai restaurant or cafe do not offer on their menu I refuse entry to patronize. This entrée enticed my interest and embedded the lunch meal menu for the reasonable price. I personally despise and do not consume spicy hot foods, but occasionally consume mild or very mild in the smallest measurement of the Scoville scale which I specifically requested, but received medium hot spicy. The waitress forewarned me the intense heat level on the Scoville scale as Thai cultural spicy with two or more bird's eye chilies for a high level of spiciness. The spiciness of chili peppers were, in my opinion, medium spicy. Despite the intense medium heat spiciness, the stir-fried noodles lacked flavor with, tender chicken, minimal vegetables, and Thai basil in a bland taste. I wish I chosen shrimp as the protein. Pad Kee Mao sustained my hunger pangs and ate my fill. When eating Thai intense heat spicy foods, I visualize to think of the TV segment "Niall Horan & James Corden Take On Hot Wings" on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in March, 2020. High heat spicy foods! Thai ice tea, large $3.00 This was a delight and neutralized the heat spiciness because it contains milk. It was served chilled in a large highball glass. Samyan is a Thai cafe located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC and accessible via MTA NYC Transit C local train at Clinton-Washington subway station. This cafe is a independently owned and operated, thankfully. The waitress did check-in with me during my meal for attentive customer service. The atmospheric conditions were a simple small dine-in cafe. There were many paintings, portraits hanging on their walls of white subway tiles. Gold metallic metal chopsticks and fork are provided. If utensils are gold then the interior cafe should contain these "gaudy" feature extensive gold elements, including gilded moldings and furniture. Peony rose are very simply and made pretty table centerpiece decorations. Takeout menu and business cards are available for grabs. I did received my sales receipt. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 18%, 20% and 22% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. I paid $23.00 in cash as the waitress' informative knowledge of the ingredients and preparation of the heat level on the Scoville scale.

The restaurant is tiny, so be sure to make a reservation. As a lover of spicy food, the spiciness in the dishes really brought out such a great flavor. Since my friend didn't eat as spicy, we found a happy medium getting just slightly spicy dishes which were all fantastic. We ordered the Khao Soi ($33) and Pla Tod Nam Pla ($40). The khao soi wasn't too spicy, especially since the broth has a creaminess and the spicies are on the side before mixing, which you can exclude. The chicken was so tender, but did come with bone so this can be trickier to share. Then the pla tod really surprised me, but I can definitely see why it's the best seller. It is a fried branzino with a marinated fish sauce which goes so nicely with all the crunch. There are a few remaining pieces of bone, so be careful. The fish had a nice balance of fish meat and crunchy skin. If you're looking for a unique Thai spot, this is it. Also, perfect spot for spicy lovers too. They also offer a huge selection of alcohol.

My partner was running late, and even though the place is clearly very popular right now, they still accommodated us with a table. The staff explained every unfamiliar dish we asked about, always with a smile. I usually avoid the standard NYC Thai restaurant lineup of pad thai + generic curry situations and look for places that feel more regional and authentic. The menu here had a bunch of dishes I didn't recognize, which immediately made me excited. They even have a spice guide though the icons don't necessarily mean increasing spice levels. As I understood it, different symbols represent different types of heat. Three chili emojis and three meteor emojis may be equally spicy, but they hit differently. They recommended not to order the pad krapow nuer, and honestly, fair enough. Instead, we got the chicken khao soi, which was far better than versions I've had elsewhere - deeply flavorful, spicy, rich with umami. My partner was crying. I, meanwhile, was at "this is perfect and I'm having a great time." One Huge chunk of chicken cooked exactly right. Mix everything thoroughly before eating. Then came the kua kling which arrived with another warning. That dish became my personal challenge to impress the server, and apparently I succeeded because now they've promised that next time they won't discourage me from ordering the nuer. They kept refilling cabbage and cucumber for us to cool down from the heat. The kua kling itself was incredible. That dry curry heat was everything. It builds slowly, then suddenly punches you in the face - but alongside all that spice is an insane amount of flavor. They also recommended to order a non-spicy side dish to have a balanced meal and spice level, but we skipped it because it would've been too much food. Honestly, this is the kind of place where going with at least four people is ideal so you can try more dishes and balance the spice levels. And if you're unsure what to order, trust the servers - their recommendations were spot on. Also: really great ciders and beers. We were really happy with both choices. Overall, even though it's far from the city for me, I'd absolutely go back.

    Food was very tasteful! The ambiance was clean and vibey, very comfortable. The service was quick…read moreand efficient, since we came in the door until we left. My first time here and it was a great experience. It is Valentine's Day and we left with a cute little gift from them, beautiful gesture. Definitely coming back :)

    Had been passing this spot for years and finally had the chance to stop in…read more Host was polite and quickly sat us without a reservation - we wanted to sit outside and there was room thankfully. Wait staff was attentive to dietary needs, exemptions and ensured our request was followed to a T. Ordered some Khao Kriab Pak Mor (dumplings) to start along with a pair of mocktails. And an order of Khao Na Ped (smoked vegan duck) and Ginger Chicken (vegan). All served well with good portion. What I personally liked is the 2 dishes took a bit, not slow or long but IMHO taking a little bit always seems it was cared for in prep. Who knows just my thing. The staff has a challenge to accommodate outdoor seating as the bldg doesn't have an inside/back door for them and they must carry food out the front door, down the sidewalk and into the garden area. That's tough but they do it with grace. The seating was okay since it's early enough but bugs showed up - no surprise - not a complaint just the reality of life and online typing in case anyone is considering it and is more sensitive to the same.
