    TL;DR: I had a great experience at this restaurant and will definitely be coming back! Food: I ordered the Pineapple fried rice and Pad see ew. The pad see ew noodles have really great flavor and texture. The portion size is fair for the price as well: I recommend adding the chicken on for $1 extra. The pineapple fried rice was tasty although I wish there was a bit more pineapple flavor to it. Similarly good portion size, no complaints in this department. Service: Service was great, our waitress Modd was very friendly and also helped with refilling water. Ambiance: Very lovely atmosphere. The restaurant lies at the corner of a very lively and safe street. The exterior is adorned with flowers. Inside is equally pretty, with dim lighting and no shortage of greenery. Additionally, the restroom is INCREDIBLE. You feel like you've got your own throne in a mini jungle. I'm joking but only partially - this is a good pit stop. Very positive experience :)

    Green Curry

    I was walking around and just wanted to sit down for a quick lunch. Their front door have a steep downstairs into a small hole in a wall place. They had a great selection of lunch specials with small appetizers and entree. I opted for my Thai go to, green curry and it was amazing. I prefer increased spicy, but I can understand this is good for most people. The lady that took our order was super nice and very willing to explain to us what is in each dish.

    Khao Soi Chicken
    Roslyn H.

    The Khao Soi with chicken was delicious! The chicken was tender, and the crispy egg noodles added a great texture. The restaurant is clean, relaxing, and nicely decorated, and the staff were polite and attentive. Even the bathroom was spotless. Definitely not your typical Thai restaurant. Highly recommended!

    I went here for lunch yesterday and their lunch sets are great! I have no notes for the chicken drunken noodles -- it was amazing! for the Thai tea, i personally prefer a strong tea taste but they probably adjusted the recipe to accommodate the American palate. service was amazing and it was not too packed during the lunch hours!

    Great Thai food. We ordered the shrimp donut and it was pretty delicious--never had anything like it before. It tasted like a chewy croquette Beef udon was delicious. Fried branzino was interesting. Kra pow was really good.

    I took my mother here for Mother's Day and I am extremely impressed with the decor! Flowers everywhere and beautiful plating and seating. An absolute gem for girls brunch or to bring your mother! We came last minute on Mother's Day and they were able to accommodate us within 10 minutes since they opened. Even though they needed the table back a certain time they didn't rush us at all! We ordered a few things: mango avocado salad and chive pancake to start, sea bass with sweet and sour sauce (this comes with purple yam rice and regular rice!), garlic udon with hanger steak, and the crab fried rice. I definitely enjoyed the appetizers more than the mains as the chive pancake was so yummy and the sauce that comes with it complements it very well, the mango avocado salad is phenomenal and includes fish sauce in the dressing making it super savory and tangy. I thought the garlic udon was too sweet for my liking but if you're into it definitely get this one. I just wish the steak was thicker and less cooked as it was super well done. The seared sea bass was yummy and I enjoyed the sauce but I didn't really need it as the more you add the sweeter and sour it gets and I'm just pretty simple and don't need much sauce. The crab fried rice was definitely the main hit as I couldn't stop eating it but it made me so full I was about to food coma right then and there. The crab is just so fresh and the flavors are just right with some of the spicy sauce! Mango sticky rice was one of the best we've had and this is hands down one of my fave brunch this year!

    Curry Puffs, Shrimp Donuts, and Thai Dumplings
    Brandon Y.

    This place came highly recommended so we gave it a try before we headed off to the fireworks viewing nearby and if the line by the time we left was any indication, you'd think they were running out of Thai food lol. We ordered a myriad of apps and entrees including Curry puffs, Shrimp Donuts,and Thai Dumplings, Panang Curry with Chicken, Khao Soi Chicken, Crab Fried Rice, Red Curry with Duck, Pad Thai and Tom Kha. The apps were all standardly good, my personal favorite was probably the shrimp donuts because of their slight bouncy texture and crunch but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Panang Curry with Chicken- thick and sweet with some spice behind the first bite. The curry is good but the chicken's just kind of an afterthought. Wish they did more than just boil it and then add it in. Khao Soi Chicken- the noodles just soak up all that curry goodness and the chicken here is much more tender and juicy. Very good dish. Crab Fried Rice- a solid fried rice with a good amount of crab on top. I think a lot of places could lean in on the grimy earthiness of the crab if they choose to but a preparation in this way is still good. Red Curry with Duck- a little sweeter curry with a hint of cinnamon. I think the duck breast was a little dry though. Pad Thai- no notes, just a good Pad Thai! Tom Kha- actually never had this before but I love the spice level with the herbal undertones, like drinking a rich, spiced, chicken soup. All in all I was pretty pleasantly happy with all the food. There are a couple things I think that come down to personal taste preference though, which for me was the cook of the vegetables. Personally ,I love stewed vegetables that are soft and have absorbed ALL the flavors of whatever it's been steeping in, whether it's soup, stews, or curry. Here, a lot of it is moreso parboiled/steamed separately so a lot of vegetables keep their crunch. I'm guessing it's to add texture to the dish but I think it's kind of just bland really. You have all this liquid gold (curry) and these vegetables that barely cling to it and just taste frankly speaking, like boiled vegetables. I would have loved to sink my flavor into a stewed carrot that was earthy, sweet, and absorbed all the flavors of the curry it was sitting in but alas, it wasn't so. And that same thing applied to the eggplant, zucchini, and peppers. Again, I think that just comes down to preference, but I think it's kind of a missed opportunity for the dish to be a lot more flavorful. Speaking to the ambiance and service, the space was nice albeit a little tight, and our server did kind of rush us a bit too much because they knew they had a line. As in, they mentioned they were busy and had a line TEN minutes after we sat down so we should definitely hurry up lol. Overall though, I did enjoy the experience, and I would be back for either the lunch or dinner special. Maybe I'd come during a less busy time or at the start of service for a more pleasant and relaxed experience but I reckon I will be back haha.

    We came here yesterday after not being served at Xisan de Classic and I'm so glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday without a reservation. They were very nice and put us on the waitlist with a 30 minute wait. We headed over to Van Leeuwen for a pre-dinner treat and to wait somewhere dry. Exactly at the 30 minute mark I got the text to head over and we did. We sat down and it took a few minutes for someone to take our order but once they did everything moved very quickly. I ordered the lychee sangria and my husband ordered the thai lime tea and the purple lemonade. All of the drinks were excellent and they were kind enough to give me extra flamingo straws to bring to my kids when I said they'd enjoy them. As for food we started with the chive pancakes and the moo ping. Both were amazing, but I especially loved the chive pancakes. The sticky rice that came with the moo ping was very good. For Entrees my husband ordered the duck red curry and I ordered the garlic beef udon noodles. My husband curry was delicious! And I loved my noodles until I tasted cilantro and I couldn't enjoy it any longer but that was my fault for not asking about it in the first place. I highly recommend coming here. The food, ambiance, and service were all top notch. I just found it a little expensive considering other options in the area.

    Drunken noodle

    Ambiance was so cute. Good place to go in downtown Brooklyn . Thai ice tea was a must , I went during happy hour and was able to get a lychee martini .

    Had early dinner with friends. We got there right at 5 when they opened. I knew I was in for a treat, there were people already waiting for them to open. We were in time for their happy hour. We ordered from the happy hour menu ans the regular. Our waitress Nikki was super nice. Very engaged and attentive. Every thing we ordered was good. Full flavors and I love spicy so it hit perfect for me. Beautiful decor a true hidden gem.

    I got the drunken noodle which was pretty good! I asked for mild and it was not that mild! Heads up for those who like spicy :) My friend got tom yum and enjoyed it with her thai iced tea. The garnish was so cute and matched her purple shirt. We enjoyed the ambiance and their selection of acoustic music. When we arrived we were seated inmediately though the service throughout the lunch also felt rushed. Everything was quality, just the busy-ness for a Sunday felt the need to eat and run. Good for girl day and would come back from drinks as well.

    Spring rolls
    Marsha S.

    I had lunch alone today 8/2 after service. The decor outside ia very inviting and pretty, it continues inside as well. It's a calm and pleasant environment. The service ia great! I had a glass passion fruit juice, spring rolls and spicy basil rice with shrimp. The food was good.and tasted fresh. The place is not too big but does have a separate space to fit more guests. I recommend if you're visiting the area to stop by alone or accompanied. The waitress are very attentive. I liked that they do not hover over guests.

    Lina L.

    Khaosan quickly became one of my favorite Thai spots in this part of Brooklyn! The staff are so friendly and attentive even though we were seated in a little nook of the restaurant (which I actually really enjoyed with the privacy)! We came on a Tuesday night and they were busy but we were quickly seated! We ordered the khao soi and roasted duck green curry. We also tried the calamari, chive pancakes, thai iced tea, and lime thai tea which were all extremely delicious!! I cant wait to go back.

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 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!!

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!!

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!

The food was so authentic - we ordered: 1. shrimp pineapple fried rice, the shrimp was perfectly crispy and the flavors of the pineapple fried rice were so delicate, it complemented it very well!

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.

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.

    Chiangmai Diner is the most unique Thai restaurant I've encountered. My first experience was…read morethrough a Yelp Elite event where we were generously welcomed to a wide variety of items on the menu. I enjoyed the food and the event so much that I've returned and told others to go as well. What I like the most is that Chiangmai's expansive menu showcases aspects of Thai cuisine that you're probably not getting at your neighborhood spot. Many items are Northern Thai style dishes. I'd never had Khao Soi before coming here and I was blown away. The chiangmai sausage is also delicious. The roasted duck curry boasts deep flavor while also maintaining the crispiest duck skin. For appetizers, we started with the crispy salmon belly bites and the moo ping. Frying salmon is risky, but the fattiness of the belly keeps it from drying out. The moo ping is nicely grilled and served with a sweet sauce. You just can't go wrong ordering meat on a stick. As an entree, I tried the Gaeng Awm Nur, a soup-like beef dish served with a side of sticky rice. Our server had been really nice and welcoming, so I felt ok asking how I should eat my meal. She advised that I make a ball of some sticky rice with my hand, mash it a bit, and then dip it into the soup. Thai food achievement unlocked! Now I know what to do next time I'm served sticky rice. There's so much on the menu it can be hard to choose. This is encouragement to go with someone else who enjoys food so you can choose things to share! You won't be disappointed and in fact may find that your regular Thai spots could step up their game in comparison.
