Khao kaeng - a traditional Thai dish consisting of steamed rice served with a variety of curries and side dishes. Kati Shop is the first fast-casual Thai eatery where you can customize your own curry platter. There's two Manhattan locations and a third opening very soon. Fingers crossed New Jersey is next!!! Y'all know I love a spot that's budget friendly, made with healthier ingredients, and still full of flavor. Kati Shop checks all three boxes! The menu is straightforward. You choose a base, a protein, a curry, and two sides. Everything is nut-free and gluten-free. Yep, you heard that right! The staff is friendly and helpful and will let you sample any of the four curries. My order: riceberry (base), lemongrass chicken (protein), massaman (curry), cucumber salad & mashed potatoes (two sides) ( ~$14). The platter hit the spot! The riceberry (purple-black jasmine rice) had a nutty flavor. The chicken was tender, but I couldn't taste much of the lemongrass seasoning. Not a big deal because the massaman curry was the star of the show! It was sweet, rich, and creamy with a fragrant blend of spices (cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cumin). It's the most mild curry out of the four options, but it still brings a good amount of spice. The cucumber salad was refreshing, and the mashed potatoes were soft and buttery. To wash down your meal, I highly recommend trying one of their drinks. I've tried both the limeade Thai tea and home-brewed Thai tea. The Thai milk tea was made perfectly with a balanced blend of black tea, sugar, and condensed milk. It had a strong tea flavor with subtle notes of sweetness and spice. The limeade Thai tea (dairy-free) was a different take, but just as good. The fresh limes made the drink very refreshing and zesty. Seating is limited to a few stools at the counter tables, so this is more of a takeout spot. If you love the bold and aromatic flavors of Thai cuisine, but want a healthier and more balanced option, definitely give this a try!
A hidden gem near Times Square area . Lots and lots of restaurants nearby and I just wanted to try something different . Googled and found this place . Looked like a Chipotle version of Thai food ! Something new concept and I haven't been here before . Wanted to try ! Service was good . Went about 7 pm and not many people in the restaurant and hence the service was quick . Ambience was ordinary Got a chicken Thai plate . The green curry was fantastic . Really flavorful and tasty . Chicken was a bit dry ! Wish they fried it - which would have made it more flavorful . Unfortunately they ran out of most of the sides ! The only thing they had was egg and some salad . They had few other curries too. We also tried the tofu with Kati signature spicy curry . It was good too . Was spicy too. We just ate there .. few chairs to sit and eat . Overall a good spot but could have been better . Wanted to give 3 stars but gave it a 4 , for a new concept ...
Kati Shop is a very good choice for a healthy and filling meal. The eatery is not large, but you could see that they serve a lot of take-out orders. My lunch consisted of the grilled salmon, on a bed of shredded cabbage, sweet potatoes, and cucumber salad. This was accompanied by a Panang Curry (dried red chili, shallot, galangal, kaffir lime). That curry was perfectly spicy and elevated each bite to an incredible level. I dipped every forkful into that deliciousness and it will be one of the things that will keep me coming back.
Kati near my workplace is a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. The curry is so delicious--rich, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. Service is quick and it's super convenient for lunch breaks. Definitely a go-to in the area!
I'm surprised that this place has 5 stars. First of all, it was difficult to communicate with workers. :( second, the woman put only one scoop of curry to the rice that I've never seen.... :( oh really!! It wasn't enough for rice on the bottom.... This is for $12.99? There're some curry packed in the bag for less that this $ and more oz comes with. One woman who's done to me looked me so tired. I give another star because for atmosphere. Clean/self water service/napkins/restroom. Make sure if you're for take out, Enough curry on the top of the rice. But, the store should fix the portion of curry. they should poor at least 3-4 times. I hope management look for this review. I won't recommend their food. Unless you're satisfied with only one scoop of curry and too much rice in. :( :( :(
Love the food here. It's a fast casual Thai spot that serves multiple types of curry with lots of protein and side options. They have two locations, and this one is close to Bryant Park. Everything is super flavorful, and the curries all offer different nuances and heat level. I've tried the massaman and their house signature, and whole they're both delicious, I will warn that their house signature does bring the heat. One super fun thing is that they offer to to your mashed potatoes (if you choose that as a side) with massaman curry. It's the combination that I never knew I needed. There isn't a ton of seating so be prepared to take the food to go
Kati Shop is a fast casual Thai food joint that serves great food at a very reasonable price. I had the lemongrass chicken with panang curry. For the base I choose the red berry and for my two sides I got the kale for both. Everything was super delicious and very affordable and I'd definitely come back.
Tasty and what seems to be health fast food place. Stopped here for quick dinner after work on a weekday. We got the CURRY PLATTER one with tofu and another with chicken. This came with some salad. Service was quick and food was good. It is a small space so sitting is limited.
I had this place bookmarked, so since I was in the area, I wanted to check it out around lunchtime. Once you enter, there's a curry aroma that surrounds you. It's nice but a bit strong. You know that you're in the right place. There's a rope that tells you where to stand on the line, so there are directions unlike other places. On the line, there are workers who serve you in a row as you go along. Based on what you order as a protein and other extra items that you get, that is what you get charged. I got the Jasmine Rice as my base out of two choices. For the protein, I got steak, and after that, I got a curry to put over the protein and base. I also have my pick of two sides, which were the mushrooms and the sirarcha cucumbers. All in all, I enjoyed my meal, and I would like to go back to try different items.
SERVICE - small fast casual spot located near Times Square - 4 minute walk from subway station - a few indoor seats available - workers are friendly and helpful with pointing out allergens - many people doing take out MENU - build your own Thai inspired meal - vegan options available - well priced ($13 per bowl) FOOD - signature curry tofu with rice berry, kale salad, and roasted sweet potatoes (7/10): the signature curry is the spicier of the two vegan options and it lives up to the expectation set by the multiple chili marks on the menu. Since it is poured over the tofu, I would recommend waiting a few minutes after ordering to ensure the tofu absorbs its flavors. I liked the crunch of the rice berry as it is similar to wild rice. Out of the two sides, the kale was okay but not spectacular. The sweet potato is fresh and pairs well with the coconut milk drizzled on top. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It's a great quick option for lunch or dinner.
My meal at Kati Shop was sensational. I ordered from here for the first time this week. The menu is simple and focuses on Thai-style curry over rice with a healthy blend. The meals are tray style and come with your choice of two sides. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with massaman curry. Massaman curry is my favorite style of Thai curry and it usually has potato in it but I actually preferred that this one did not. It was sweet and spicy but not too spicy for me. It was also very rich and paired well with the lemongrass chicken. Easily one of the best massaman curry dishes I've had. For my sides I ordered the somtum slaw and larb mushroom. These were both simply prepared (no oils or dressings) but they were good. In my takeout order I specified that I wanted my rice packed separately from the chicken (which I understand is different than the "over rice" concept). They didn't quite understand my note but when I came to pick up the order, they were happy to fix it. The store itself is pretty small with some counters to eat. I probably would stick to takeout. Overall, this was a great meal, especially for a fast casual restaurant.
How have I not heard of this place before?! The service was fast and convenient, and I knew I wanted to try as many Thai reminiscent flavors as I could. I loved that you could get some familiar proteins drizzled in curry, and the Somtum coleslaw had a slight but not overpowering kick to it. I spoke with one of the managers as well, and he was really friendly as we talked a bit about the history of the shop. Would definitely come through here and grab another meal when I'm on the go!

When I was in NYC a few weeks ago, this was my quick dinner stop on a night I was quite ravenous but didn't want to venture out too far. I loved the make-your-own concept but with a Thai twist most aren't used to. I got myself a plate of cabbage slaw topped with soft tofu and curry sauce, sweet potato with condensed milk, and a boiled egg. It was a unique combination of foods, but oh so good! I definitely got my protein in between the tofu and the egg. There aren't many places to sit inside, and it's probabaly more of a to-go place for locals, but nevertheless I enjoyed having my meal at one of the counters. read more
Quite a good fast casual Thai spot in Midtown. The vegetarian option is a well-seasoned tofu over rice that appears like a vegan khao mun gai, with an option of a curry sauce as a pairing. For sides, the mushroom larb is the best option, as long as you don't mind quite a bit of heat. read more

Amazing (spicy) Thai Curry flavor at a fair price by Bryant Park. Sort of like a Thai Curry version of Chipotle, Dos Toros, Naya, Cava, mezeh, etc. I tried Kati Shop as a takeout meal to enjoy at Bryant Park one weeknight and ordered ahead online (Grubhub via their website). Order was available promptly and the food was great. I ordered their kati signature curry with lemongrass chicken, cucumber salad, and larb mushroom ($12.40). Tasty, solid Thai flavors with a very nice spice level. Food portion was good and it also didn't feel too heavy (fried with a lot of batter, too oily, etc.). Would definitely have again when in Bryant Park area and feeling in mood for Thai Curry. read more

I came here for a quick dinner after work and was thankfully it wasn't too busy so I could sit inside and eat. Menu is cool and easy to understand. The food was really good. I was a big fan of the mushroom side. The chicken and the sauce it has was so yummy. I think the options are very unique for midtown and decently priced. I definitely think this is a great option for a one person or two person dinner option. Interior is cute, but there is no bathroom. read more

After hours of traveling from LA to NY, my first real meal was at Kati Shop, and it did not disappoint. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, even letting my fiancée and me sample the different curry flavors before we made our final choice. I ended up getting the coriander steak on a bed of riceberry, which was very fluffy. I went with a half-and-half mix of the Kati Signature sauce (which, albeit spicy, had the perfect spice level) and the Massaman sauce. On the side, I had a refreshing cucumber salad and Somtum slaw (papaya salad). The flavors of the dish were incredibly robust, but heed the staff's warning about the spiciness of the Kati sauce! I found myself chugging the water I brought and even asked for a couple of glasses from the restaurant. Overall, an excellent dining experience--definitely worth the stop! read more

Can't describe how nice it was to find this spot! The fact that everything is gluten and dairy free makes eating here with allergies easy and worry free. It was so delicious, I kept having to re-read the sign to assure myself I wasn't eating something I shouldn't! The chicken was top quality, the sauce had fantastic flavor, and the portions were worth the price. I would call this a Chipotle for Thai food, but 100x better. Love that you can customize exactly what goes on your plate like that. The employees were knowledgeable and made a great recommendation, the shop was quiet albeit small. Great for solo dining in store or take-out. I will definitely be back because I gotta have their spicy sauce again! Definitely a gluten free gem. read more
Stumbled upon this place while walking around and I loved it!! It's like a build your own bowl Thai place. I got mine with jasmine rice, steak, with boiled egg and cucumber salad for my sides. For the curry sauce I got the panang. So good! I loved it so much - I want to learn to make it so I can put it on all my meals. I was told it has a medium spice level to it but I honestly didn't think it was that spicy! read more
Thai food prepared in a Chipotle kind of way. You order your base, protein, sauce and sides. Pretty tasty. I wanted to try their Kati signature sauce but was told it is extremely spicy, so I went with the Panang curry instead. I ordered salmon, which was cooked very well. The sauce was also well prepared. The sides didn't have as much flavor as I would've preferred, but all in all not a bad choice if you have a craving for Thai but don't want to spend a lot of time waiting for it. read more

Kati Shop is a perfect and solid place for a quick fix if you are craving for Thai Curry. The decor is clean, bright & modern and the ambiance is lively. The options of each selection weren't various but pretty decent with reasonable price & portion. The food was overall delicious and satisfying, especially the green curry, which is rich, creamy and appetizing. read more

Thank you very much for coming. I’m glad you like our green curry.…
This is a really solid place to get some good Thai curry and tea! I came here for a weekday lunch and got the Kati Signature curry with chicken, larb mushroom, and kale salad. And, of course, a Thai tea. Yes. You read correctly. The Kati Signature. Like 5 chili pepper symbols compared to a measly 2 or whatever for the next highest level. The kind lady who was serving me warned me about the spice, and instead of taking it for the wise suggestion that it was, I got a little offended and insisted on the Kati Signature. Sigh. Thankfully when I was eating it later, my back was turned toward her so she didn't see me cough-sniff-cry my way painfully through my meal. One Thai tea was not enough to quell the heat. Would recommend ordering at least 2 unless your tongue no longer has any nerves. The curry tasted really good under all the pain, and the sides were pretty good too. My only complaint was that some sides were not available. I was also very impressed with the flavor and color of the Thai tea - apparently no artificial food coloring is used and it is all natural! I would definitely come back for their other food, might not order the Kati Signature again, though, heh. read more

Needed a place to grab something quick and healthy after a workout and this happened to be a block away from my hotel. Really is a very unassuming little place imagine that could very well be a subway but with classic thai curries and three or four protein options. The premise is you build your plate with One of the four protein options, 4 Curries , two different kinds of rice and then you're two side veggies. There are some drink options as well from Thai iced tea to lemonade and some kombucha. I went with the green curry and the spiciest of the red. You can mix and match about which is an option. Definitely glad I stopped it on this place rather than walking 20 more feet to chick a filet The folks behind the counter are super friendly and would check in on me. There's also little containers of fish sauce with birds eye chili by the counter grab one of those as well. read more
