As part of an Asian American & Pacific Islander faculty and staff event at my university, we ordered catering from Klong and were thoroughly impressed not only by the excellent catering menu with great combo choices, but the impeccable delivery service. The delivery guy helped us set up our catering trays in our venue, included disposable serving spoons and tongs, and was incredibly professional and courteous. We ordered the papaya salad, varied types of pan fried and steamed dumplings, calamari, taro spring rolls, pad see ew, pad thai, and different types of fried rice. Everyone was really well-fed and happy! I'd highly recommend this restaurant not just to eat out with friends or family, but they are an excellent option for catering a larger event! read more

Cocktails were reasonably priced. The food had great flavor. My second time here, the giant shrimp were delicious! Only downside is the tables are clustered too close together and the noise level is high. read more

Klong - Digging into the Panang Curry Lunch Special - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Four stars for the food. The squid legs and deep fried branzino (PlaTod) are delicious but the glass noodle with seafood (crab meat and River prawns) is disappointing. The prawn is not fresh. The service is just ok (3 stars) and barely two stars for the ambiance. The restaurant is very dark with loud noise read more

Tried their $12.95 lunch special from 11:30am-3:30pm and it was great! It'a +$2-3 for protein like chicken or shrimp but it's still so affordable. For $25 (including 22% tip) I got an appetizer (spring rolls), a well portioned entree, and a thai iced tea. Honestly to me this is a win for it being in St. Marks! The staff were extremely welcoming and kind too, frequently refilling my water and having patient and caring demeanors. I did not at all feel rushed like some restaurants unfortunately make you feel today, and the lighting was really nice and relaxing! The bathroom was also pretty clean and spacious though I do wish there was more than just one stall. Overall great experience would come again and do recommend :). read more

Klong - Thai iced tea, train rail rice, spring rolls - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I love Klongs I have been a reoccurring customer for 10 years. Through the menu changes and the many employees that have come though here, I've enjoyed the food & addoradable drinks. Yet, today, on June 27, I was greeted with rude customer service and an undeserving eye-rolling employee who served us and made us our drinks. The drinks came out great but every interaction with the employee left me with a distasteful feeling that I wasn't welcome. The receipt claimed that her name was Emma. I'll still be coming back for the food and drinks but my guard will be up more than I ever expected to get to. Overall, don't get rid of the lunch special! - would recommend! read more

Ambiance - decor is very brand like and nice. Tables are spaced out, so it is very roomy and spacious. Service - we were for lunch special, wasn't too many tables, staff was available when needed. Food - it was okay. The lunch special was $12 - not bad, but portion was not big. read more

Very impressed by the hospitality. Came as a group of 6 and our server immediately provided in-depth descriptions and combination suggestions to fill our table spread. And every dish is amazing! Love the garnishing and sauces. Wish the serving sizes were bigger--but the quality makes up for that. We ordered the Phuket pitcher, which reminds me of a Long Island, and highly recommend it. Strong and a great drink to share. read more

This place is great for large groups who wants to drink & eat at a reasonable price! The drinks are strong & big. The food is also pretty good to enjoy with your drinks. I wouldn't go here just for the food. I got the pad kee mao & tom yum soup. Both of them were a bit too sweet for my preference, but the price & quantity made sense. Service was attentive. read more

I didn't realize how long Klong has been around until I just read some of my Yelp friends' reviews going back to 2005, but having recently dined here I can see (and smell) the years of life this restaurant has experienced. And while this place is whatever the opposite of shiny and new is, it's impressive they can stand the test of time, drawing new diners like me to their space despite all of New York being completely saturated by places serving this wonderful cuisine. Klong may be somewhat forgettable, but they're also old reliable. My friends and I dined in and found it very easy to grab walk in seats. We got many of the classics, including calamari, kee mao, green curry, taro fries, and vegetable dumplings. The most basic of orders, and you know what? The flavors were solid. Service was quite lax and slow moving for how few diners were in the restaurant, but we weren't in any rush. I'd say the biggest detractor was the smell of wet rag that permeated the place. Also that it was a summer day and they just had the door open with no AC. I get that bills are high but I really didn't like getting chewed out by mosquitoes while dining indoors. I'd say if you're in the mood for Thai, go ahead and give Klong a try. But maybe spring for takeout instead of dining in. read more

THIS PLACE IS SOOOO GOOD!!!! The service was top notch and extremely efficient. Never an empty glass. The inside is super cool and vibey. The food was UNREAL. The taste never lacked in any dish. The fried gyoza (ik it's a basic order) was unreal. My dad actually couldn't stop eating the sour pork crispy rice salad too .. super not his normal order. Not a single dish was bad and the cocktails are a MUST! read more

Sangria pitcher is a steal! The happy hour seems to last the entire time the restaurant is open-Ha! Definitely a place to get cheap drinks while eating though I can't promise they will be your favorite. Menu is small. Thai food is pretty good and there were some unique options. I wasn't blown away by any of the flavors and I was thrown off by the use of unexpected ingredients in familiar dishes. read more

Food was just okay, but honestly what more can you expect from a $12 lunch deal. It comes with an app, a soup/salad, and a main. Like, you're definitely getting bang for your buck, so I can't complain. I thought the spring rolls were lovely and crispy, and I ordered the peanut sauce chicken. It was good enough, but I think I was just hoping for the sauce to be more integrated with the chicken and the broccoli. The way it was served was that it was literally just boiled chicken and broccoli with a heaping of peanut sauce on top. The sauce was yummy, just wasn't exactly the most appetizing or the best peanut chicken I've had. But if you're looking for a good deal for lunch, you can't really go wrong here. read more

Came here for dinner with some others, I split the Crispy Mango Fish & Ka-Pi Fried Rice with my partner. The fish comes with a good amount of fish and true to the name with a nice crisp. The fish was nice and moist, and the mango salad really helped to cut the oiliness of the fish--making for a mouth watering combination. The fried rice probably makes my list of top 3 fried rices I've had. The lap chung is cut into small pieces that add a nice chew to each mouthful. The Thai chili's are pretty spicy, but you can easily move them to the side if you have mild-medium spice tolerance only like me. The table shared a pitcher of the Phuket, where the pineapple flavor really helped to mask/balance out the alcohol. I don't usually drink very much, but I finished out a whole glass! Very refreshing drink that goes well with the food/adds a nice tropical note to the meal. Lighting is pretty dim here, but they really set a chill mood with candles (see picture). The servers were very attentive, and kept the water glasses filled to the brim. read more

Klong - Crispy Mango Fish & Ka-Pi Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Very unique thai food. Ive been to this restaurant twice and each time I've had something different. Their take on thai food is different from your average restaurant. Their pad thai uses a different type of noodle which is thinner. The Ka-Pi fried rice was such a unique dish, its use of fish paste is definitely an acquired taste, and had a very delicious mix of ingredients. I also had a curry that I couldnt remember the name of -- it had blood cubes, a chicken drumstick, and eggplant. That dish was delicious but incredibly spicy, be warned. read more

Went here for a first date and had a great time, the food was great and the drinks were nice and had good value

To my NYC friend that too me here...I am so sorry but this place was just ok. I paid $30 with tax and INCLUDED gratuity for pad see ew and thai tea. They auto add 20% gratuity on every check I guess because my party only had 2 people. The thai tea was good, I would be impressed if they managed to mess that up lol. But the pad see ew was SUPER salty and oily. The first few bites were okay but then it got unbearably salty. The meat was also chewy and hard to eat. Ambiance and service was nice. I can see why people just come here to drink the alcohol pitchers. read more

Best restaurant with the best drink and vibe. Everything is perfect. Would recommend to anyone who's looking for a spot to rest.

Loved the chicken drunken noodles, the thai tea and coffee were amazing! The ambiance was great, and the staff were super friendly.

The food is honestly kind of mid, but you come here for the vibes and good deals, not a Michelin star meal. They have good deals on pitchers and the drinks taste a bit too dangerously good, if you know what i mean. The servers are super friendly as well and Klong is always a fun time with friends! read more

4.5 stars bc why did i love this place? Reviews put it at a very mid rating, but i had a very enjoyable meals here. We got the pad thai and the curry and both were actually very very good. We got a lychee pitcher and it was suuuuper tasty. Great price point too. It definitely brings the nearby nyu students, but i can see why. Good food, cheap drinks, good ambiance. Very cute and dim lit, but was lively enough to go about our conversation in a casual setting. Service was very attentive and informative. Definitely will be back here, what a hidden gem. read more

SUPER VALUE lunch special!! Only $12 for soup, appetizer, and main meal :)) Very value, tasty crispy spring roll with quality filling, and yummy veggie soup, what a good lunch deal, pad see ew also super flavorful and noodles had such nice chewy soft texture. Not gonna lie tho, even though I was very solidly full, my friends got the stir fry entree and curry entrees and those looked bigger in portion and also tasty. Would come again and try another entree! Ambiance was super nice and inside was dark wooden/metal w cool vibes Service also very nice, refilled water pretty often haha read more

Can't believe I didn't know about Klong until now! I feel like I've missed out all these years but now that I know, I've definitely added it to my list of spots to visit when I'm in that area the late night happy hour is great. The drinks were strong and the food even better! Definitely get the wings and the shrimp! The rice was just ok in my opinion but great fuel for a night out. read more

Great Thai restaurant! Came here with my cousin on a Monday evening and was seated right away. We ordered the Grilled Squid Legs ($12), Kee Mao with beef ($18), and Khoa Soy ($20). The food can relatively quickly, and service was amazing! The squid legs were large and flavorful with large amounts of diced garlic and peppers. At some point, it became really spicy and maybe some kind of acidity would have also balanced out/complemented the spice. But good nonetheless! The Kee Mao came with a lot of beef (even more than the flat noodles). This dish was also really well flavored but felt like it was missing something...I still recommend trying it out though. Lastly, I've never had Khoa Soy before, but I loved it! It came with 2 large chicken drumsticks that were slow-cooked and fall-off-the-bone. Super tender and moist, pairing nicely with the creamy and coconutty curry. The laksa noodles absorbed the curry so well and started to become a bit soft, so I recommend eating this dish right away if you order it. Overall, I definitely recommend coming here! The staff were suuuuper friendly and attentive, and the food is great! read more

Amazing value. We had the lunch special for $12. Pad suee. Two spring rolls and soup. Friendly staff. We sat half outside. It was a Tuesday afternoon and not too crowded. It was salty and not super nuanced but tasty and filling. Im not an expert in Vietnamese food so your mileage may vary. But I left happy. read more

Once upon a time this place had really good food. We ordered spicy basil noodles, pad Thai, red curry and a Tom kha soup. No exaggeration - not a single half-decent dish. It was on the level of seriously mediocre frozen meals that had nothing to do with authentic dishes they were supposed to represent. 10 dollar soup was a small watery dirt water plastic dish - the main flavors that stood out were fish sauce and sugar. It was simply inedible. I am truly shocked that this is a standard of a New York City restaurant. It's a shameful rip off and a mistake I am sure to never make again. You totally lost my trust. read more

I liked Klong! I went on a friday evening with some friends because Klong has a happy hour drink menu available up until 10:00pm (or 10:30pm). My friends and I shared 2 pitchers, which were both good. The drinks were pretty strong so it got us started for the night. I also ordered a green curry, which in my opinion was okay. It tasted good, but it wasn't anything standout. The vibes indoor was great. Loud music and lots of chatter as most of the tables were filled. Service was good. I would come back for the drinks and happy hour! read more

This was my second time here and I can say Klong has definitely made one of my go-to spots for a fun night out with friends! It not only has delicious drinks, but the thai food here is also some of my favorite which says a lot given the over-populated thai food scene in New York. The vibes here give casual night out with its dim lighting. I recommend the red sangria (especially if you like fruity non-alcohol tasting alcoholic drinks), the crispy mango fish, and the ka-pi fried rice (all which I ordered both times I visited). The crispy mango fish is well fried, tangy and just the right amount of spice (and boneless which is a plus for me!). The fried rice has a mix of all the right flavors and textures (you just have to taste it for yourself). The only minus is that this place can get quite busy especially on popular night out days which results in the waiters being a bit antsy about clearing your table and rushing you a bit. But all in all, I will probably come back here! read more

I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. They have a great lunch special everyday until 3:30 PM. It was $12 which included soup or salad, appetizer, and entree. It's a lot of food which I skipped dinner after this (food coma is real haha). This place has a lot of indoor seating and much more spacious than the other restaurants on the same block. I ordered the salad, the mixed dumplings, and the pad kee mao with chicken. The salad was fresh and had fried tofu surprisingly. The mixed dumplings tasted fresh and had a Thai chili sauce. The pad kee mao had a bit of a kick but a bit on the sweet side. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely come back especially for the lunch deal. read more

the first time I went there we were a group of 6 we where driving and eating and suddenly we got the bill because they were saying the have a reservation we feel pressured to leave so we thought that's fine . Yesterday August 14 I went back. We where 5 people . Even though we order multiple appetizers,entrees, dessert and drinks we still drinking cocktails it happened again they told us that the had reserved the table. When we leave the we're multiple tables empty. We feel pressured to leave even though not bull was huge. I don't recommend this lace they service is more about making money and not threat customers nice please do not go there . Our bill was large, but it seemed they cared more about flipping tables than treating customers well. I do not recommend this place. The service is more about making money than making customers feel welcome. Please do not go here. read more

Came here last night and interior wise very pretty for a chill hangout or cute date! My friend and I ordered the chicken wings that had a slight spicy kick to it but were the best and even added some classic edamame. I ordered the Chon buri gai Yang which came with rice and chili sauce and the chicken was tender and juicy. It paired very well with the sauce and came with papaya salad as well. Service was great and staff was sweet to my friend and I. Definitely will go back 10/10! read more

My party of 2 was seated immediately in the afternoon on a Sunday. I ordered the massaman curry with chicken. Just to preface that I usually expect massaman curry to be more on the sweeter side of curries and to be thicker yet very flavorful with chunks of vegetables. I did not really get that with my dish. The flavors were not as intense and only lightly sweet and the vegetables did not seem to have absorbed the flavors from the curry. It was also a little off putting biting into larger pieces of onion and soggy peanuts. However, the portion size was generous and came with a side of white rice for a reasonable price. The service was also really attentive, so +1 star in rating. read more

Food was meh, good prices though! I had chicken pad Thai which wasn't bad but I would've love just a little more flavor! My friend got pad see ew which was also fine but not super memorable. Loved the drinks though, Sapporo for $3. But, I wish it was colder!! Staff were more friendly after we ordered but they were a little unapproachable when we were asking about wait times and availability. To be honest, it's not a place I'll travel for but if I'm in the area I'd try a different dish. read more

Careful because they will add on automatic gratuity. We were quoted a shorter wait time, but because people refused to leave their table. read more

A must try place in New York if you love Thai food! This place is exciting in that they have a separate menu for "Authentic Thai" dishes that are different than the common green curry and pad Thai noodles you see. We got the fried taro sticks, crispy mango fish, and ka-pi (shrimp paste) fried rice. None of these I have tried at a Thai restaurant before so I was super excited! Everything turned out amazing. Crispy mango fish comes with a bowl of rice - if you like a blend of freshness in your main entree this dish is perfect because you get a slight chili spice with the warm fried fish filet but also a slight tangy taste of fresh mango. It is a bit spicy but you can ask the waiter in advance to make it as not spicy as possible. Ka-Pi (shrimp paste) fried rice is nothing like your regular fried rice. It is presented in a way similar to bibimbap where they top the rice with all the delicious ingredients - mango, candied pork belly, dried shrimps, sausages, and more! You can then mix all the ingredients together to make this magical mouth watering fried rice dish. Again, the freshness of the mango adds an unforgettable taste. This place is amazing. Highly recommend to venture out and order from the "Authentic Thai" menu! read more

As a part of an incredible $12 lunch deal, this dumpling and salad was provided as complements to the main pad thai. Steamed Dumpling (B) - The steamed dumpling is incredibly flavorful, with the balance of fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind mixed with herbs to create a harmonious balance of thai flavors. Unfortunately though, the actual dumpling is dry inside. House Salad (B) The house salad is driven by a sumptuous peanut sauce, which emphasizes authentic flavors. Besides the peanut sauce though, I found the salad to be a bit mundane and the tofu to be weirdly cold. Pad Thai (A) - Another Pad Thai from a Southeast Asian restaurant on my account lol! this Pad Thai was impressive as it had a lot of pork that was cooked tenderly, and flavored well to have the sweet, salty, and sour balance, while being plated rematively well. The restaurant interior also looks really nice, but the exterior is wet and undersirable. read more

Decent food, good for groups and pre night-out. Food (4/5) - I ordered a special that night (it's no longer on the menu now). It was a fried rice dish with mangoes, shrimp paste and grilled chicken. Was pretty enjoyable. I really like shrimp paste and this did not disappoint. Perhaps I was expecting a spicier dish but would've preferred if there was more spice and perhaps even shrimp paste in the dish. Price (3/5) - For St Marks this was a little steep, closer to $20 and for a slightly smaller sized portion than I'm used to. Drinks seemed a little more reasonable than usual, however. Service (4/5) - Prompt. Not too overbearing either. Ambiance (1/5) - Wayyyy too loud (both music and acoustics). Had to shout to hear my friend across the table, and we were already sat near the entrance / away from the speakers. By the time we left, it felt like we had just been in a club / bar of some sort. This was also a weeknight. It was also pretty dark inside, so I had a bit of trouble reading the menu. read more
