    Supposedly Mango Sticky Rice
    Julie P.

    Went in to have dinner, cozy spot , nothing fancy. We ordered duck noodle soup, pork boat soup. Shrimp thai fried rice, thai iced tea, a beer and mango sticky rice. . Soups were very sweet, the broth tasted stale. Shrimp rice was ok, lacked the typical thai flavor. We never received the thai iced tea, the host/ waitress was awful. We asked for hot sauce, she brought some out in a jar and while we were eating came and took it away. She insisted in giving a beer I didn't want and brought the check 15 mins before bringing dessert. While still drinking the beer she came and took the glass, attempting to pour out the remaining contents and ended up spilling it. I would not recommend nor return. Not worth it.

    Very nice! Living nearby, we get lunch from here often. Small, cozy neighborhood place with good food and friendly staff. We usually get drunken noodles, or fried rice and mango sticky rice to finish.

    Massaman Curry with tofu

    Great food! Great service. I had the pineapple fried rice with veggies and the massaman curry with tofu. Both were fantastic! The $12 lunch deal is even on Sundays.

    Tiny, clean, simple space. Not suitable for parties larger than 4. The whole restaurant seats 14ish people at most. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Dropped by for lunch. The lunch special (noodles/rice dish with a side of a spring roll/dumpling/soup) portion was small, so I decided to order the regular $15 beef drunken noodle portion. Sad to say that the portion was small. The sauce was watery. The dish was too mild even for me, someone who does not like spice. But I did not even ask to make this dish mild. Exactly two tiny slices of carrot and bell pepper. Mostly noodles, barely any protein or veggies.

    Drunken Noodle lunch special, not so special
    Jessi L.

    Lunch special drunken noodle $12. Not worth it. Super small portion and holy salt! Ridiculously salty! No utensils even though I asked for it. Plus the delivery guy was supposed to come to the reception area, he didn't even come in the building.

    Duck Noodle Soup
    Carlos D.

    Wonder around this area with my friend and we decided to check Kare Thai out. The restaurant is small, good for a group of 4 or less. The hostess was really sweet and was attentive to us. For appetizer we did the popcorn shrimp and the dumplings. The dumplings were really good, the popcorn shrimp was good as well, but I felt like it should've had a bit lesser breading. For entree I had the Duck Noodle Soup and it was amazing. The duck and noodles were delicious as well as the broth. It was smooth and not salty. I definitely would recommend this soup. Overall, great food and experience, a small hidden gem away from the nearby touristy area. I also recommend trying out the thai iced tea!

    Chicken Pad Thai Noodle Lunch Special
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed having lunch from here! I started off with the chicken pad thai with spring rolls, my usual go-to. The drunken noodles with tofu were delicious and the shrimp and chicken dumplings were delicious as well! They have a very extensive lunch menu selection available. The portions were probably a touch smaller than some other spots I've been too, but there was a generous amount of protein and veggies in both the dishes.

    Drunken Noodle
    Paige A.

    The drunken noodles are delicious!! You also really can't go wrong with the pad Thai, too good! I got takeout so I can't speak for the dining experience, but my food was delivered hot & quickly! Very pleased!

    Came here after I saw the sign for happy hours on my way from work. $8 for 2 Singha? Sure. I like it! Atmosphere: small but clean and cozy. Service: The owner(?)/waitress wasn't that friendly unfortunately. Wasn't really able to tell me much about their dishes either. Food: Overall was o...k.... -- Beef in beef salad was so rubbery and over seasoned. Not too much vegetables either. -- Chicken satay was also not too impressive. Oh....too much curry powder on it. Will I come back? Provably not :/ I'd rather pay for the full price for drinks and get better quality Thai food.

    More like a 4.5 but it was really good. You do feel a little rushed as they are quite busy, they…read moreturnover quite fast, and they do limit you to 90 mins. The food came out insanely fast, as in too fast, imo. When you go out to eat, you appreciate the breaks between being seated, ordering, waiting for the meal, and the check. It really felt like everything was rushed. That being said, the food was excellent with the Short Rib Prik Kang standing over the rest. Biriyani was just ok but the broth they gave with it was a nice complement. Mango avocado salad was decent. The rest of the table said the pork belly was also quite good. Didn't try the drinks, but they looked great and from overhearing the adjacent tables, they were actually quite good. I would def recommend giving this place a try. TBH, because they are so fast, it's a great place to dine before a show.

    Came here to eat before watching Broadway. We booked 5:00pm. When we arrived ~4:50pm there was…read morealready a line out the door waiting for them to open. I'm surprised people queued and surprised they actually lock people out. They have a policy of only seating whole parties. My friends were literally stuck amongst the world cup crowds in Times Square such that they struggled to get through and had to detour when they did. They have a 10 minute grace period, but my friends wouldn't make it in time, so I asked if they'll let us sit first as long as we start ordering immediately. They said ok as long as we returned the table by 6:30pm. I thought the 1.5 hour seating time was based on when we actually get seated which considers the grace period. Anyways the timing ended up being sufficient. I think this spot is good for pre-theatre dining due to the large storefront and quick service, but I wouldn't necessarily choose to come here for the sake of coming. Their menu is extensive and slightly confusing given the way they organize by regions in Thailand. I'm uncultured so I won't know what's the difference between each region. It's easier for me to comprehend if the menu was categorized by the ingredients used or size of the dish. Most dishes do not have a photo/drawing included so it was hard to skim through all the options. Their online ordering was way more helpful since it had photos. It was so hard to look for the corresponding line item in the printed version. We ordered: green curry, kao soy kua neur, khao mok neua, curry puff, kaeng hung lay, gai gor lae, and mango sticky rice. Most of the stuff tasted alright without much standout. We requested mild/little spicy for everything and it was true to request. The spiciest dish was probably the green curry, but I think it's tolerable if you eat it with rice. Crowd favorite was the kao soy kua neur which is braised beef with egg noodles. I like how tender the beef is and how chewy the noodles were. My friends didn't like the khao mok neua biryani because of its dryness, but I think it's meant to be like that. I appreciate the spices in it, not too strong but still sufficient. I don't like how they don't have a printed menu for desserts and relied on the servers to recite out what's available. We couldn't hear everything properly and resorted to referencing the online ordering menu for the dessert options. Glad they're the same. Mango sticky rice was the highlight of the night for me. The mango size could be slightly bigger, because right now it's much smaller than the rice. However, I enjoyed the rice a lot. It was hot, fragrant, and not too soft. It definitely felt comforting. The coconut milk on the side had rice puffs (?) in it which gave additional texture.

    I'm a Thai foodie from California and I really loved SaiTong! The restaurant was busy and I was by…read moremyself so I was happy to sit at the bar, and was attended to by the most sweet bartender ever. Very polite, professional and attentive. I first ordered the crispy spring rolls, which were very good. For my main I had the Massaman Curry. Now folks, this is my favorite curry of all time -- actually one of my favorite foods of all time -- and while it's common in LA where I used to live, it's not as common where I live now, in the Bay Area. And the restaurants that do carry it usually do not make it right and it's not very good. I am used to Massaman in the traditional preparation where it's more like a beef stew made with chunks of beef and needs to cook overnight. When done right it is the most aromatic curry ever -- it's almost like an aphrodisiac! -- and the beef comes out oh so tender. Usually if places have this curry but then offer a choice of protein, then it generally is not cooked properly, and that is actually how they prepare it at SaiTong. But because of such great reviews I decided to take a chance and try it. Well, let me tell you, it was definitely not the norm...it was absolutely delicious! I had it with chicken (they serve breast as default), and the chicken soaked up the curry really nicely. I also asked for there to be no onions, which I think alters the flavor of a curry too much. It does include the traditional potatoes and peanuts, and the potatoes were fine and cut into nice little chunks, the peanuts actually were thrown in raw.. what I think is the more traditional way which is to actually burn the peanuts a little bit, but that's okay, it didn't take down the dish any. Their brown rice is of the very dark kind, which I like, and goes so well with the curry. Service was wonderful from the bartender but was also provided by the rest of the staff and everyone was so nice. I left there feeling so satisfied, and cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes.
