My go-to place for margaritas! You just can't beat $6 margs and $30 pitchers, especially in the city. They also let you only order drinks, which I feel like is rare for a restaurant. I usually go for drinks only, but I recently tried their food, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the pad see ew and it was really yummy. Pad see ew is pretty basic, and they did a good job with it. My friend ordered one of their soups, and she really enjoyed it as well. Both dishes were quite sizeable, so we had plenty of leftovers to take home and eat later! Klong is definitely one of those places I'll go to again and again. Definitely check it out for drinks or great Thai food. read more

Klong - pad see ew w/chicken - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

One of my favroite Thai places in the city. Good cheap food, decent drinks and hot waiters!

We wanted Asian and we're headed downtown. I quick search found Klong! and with a staggering 1.3k yelp reviews and a 3.8 average rating, I was feeling confident. What's the buzz about ? A casual affordable Thai place with NYU student crowd pleasers like pad Thai and curries along with a $6 drinks happy hour, cute wait staff and a grooving dance beat soundtrack. The $6 lychee mimosa was tasty and a big small. Wine was too. I had pumpkin curry with chicken that was delicious with some to take home. I'll definitely go back. Go early (before 5) to avoid crowds. read more

At $30 average the food quality here is simply amazing! Service was also excellent with keen waiters willing to satisfy our needs. The vibe was great, with decent Thai-style decorations. Very good place for enjoying Asian cuisine and family gatherings. read more

Came to Klong for dinner on a Friday night and they place was pretty packed. Cute and cozy decor with a collegiate feel. Perhaps because they are located in the heart of NYU campus. We didn't wait long and was seated immediately. The staff here works pretty fast I guess to move people along and on to the next. Menu wise, there are a lot to choose from. Ideally, I wish they would have a popo platter that you'll see on Chinese menus so I can have a selection of appetizers instead of having to make the hard decision to narrow it down with one or two. In the end, we shared the calamari and wing appetizers and I ordered my own chicken pad thai. Both appetizers were fantastic. Highly recommend them both, esp the wings because it's done so nicely. Though for my pad thai, I thought it was okay. It didn't have the wok hey (charred flavor) so yeah, just thought it was okay. As for customer service, I love how quick and efficient the worker were. They were attentive, not pushy to get us to leave and friendly. read more

This is a solid Thai restaurant in East Village. The food didn't stand out in terms of flavor, but it's a good, affordable place if you're craving Thai food. They have an amazing lunch deal until 3:30 pm everyday. For $12, you get a small soup or salad, a choice of appetizer, and a main dish. This is a steal and great value. I was expecting a miso soup, but the soup ended up being a broth with lots of vegetables. You could tell they were frozen, but it still tasted good. The crab ragoons were good. You get 2 and they were covered in a spicy sweet sauce. The inside was some yellow cream cheese concoction that strayed from what I typically expect, but it was still good. I got the pad see ew. It was solid, but nothing special . The portion size is a bit smaller than what you'll find at other Thai places, but they make up for it by the other appetizers and the deal. Beware that they automatically add an 18% tip to your bill. They do not tell you that and the bill where you add the tip is pretty misleading. Usually if places add gratuity, they'll only ask for 2, 3, or 5% extra, but their receipt had the normal ask for 15-20% still. It feels a bit slimey that they do this will explicitly letting you know. read more

Klong was very accommodating and was able to seat my party of nine for a late lunch on Friday. This place does offer daily lunch specials -- we just arrived a little too late to take advantage of this offer. I went with a Thai green curry with tofu and a side of rice -- slightly pricier than what I've paid at other places at regular price, but the serving size was substantial! read more

Came for lunch on a weekday and got the pre-fixe special. Tom yum soup was great, and the taro rolls were good - little soggy though. Sadly the penang curry was only okay, not very flavorful. Didn't live up to my expectations. 3.5 stars. read more

Went to Klong on Sat. for lunch. Solo diner. Had lunch special; salad, spring roll & chicken pad thai, along with a couple of drinks. Service was good, food tasty. Got my check and 18% tip was Added On my bill. A single diner and they Added On the Tip to my check! It does say on the menu (small print at bottom) tip is added on to parties of 5 or more. This was One Person...Really!?! I paid my check without adding on additional tip (since the tip was already added). I have been to Klong before, so I looked for it and found a receipt from June 2022. I ordered the exact same items, lunch special and two drinks. The total was the same amount but that time no tip was added onto my bill. And I (as I always do) tipped well. But This time, the tip was added, this in not practice, this in not procedure. This was a Judgement! You decided to Judge me! What was the motivation for this? Was I too well-mannered and polite? Did my 'please' and 'thank you' throw you off? Or was it for another reason? I can't imagine why you would add 18% tip onto the check? I cannot trust you now, Klong Can Not Be Trusted! Klong, cute place, ok food but this really puts a bad taste in my mouth! Klong, check your check because Klong cannot be trusted! read more

You can go wrong with a $30 pitcher of Lychee mojito! Always packed and thats a good sign. Its been a while since Ive come here and they spruced up the menu. Everything was pretty good. The egg noodle with the different pork was just ok, a tad bit sweet. I was hoping it to be more savory. Tom kha and tom yum were absolutely delicious and a must order! All the apps were so good! Highly recommended read more

Well proportioned and flavored Thai food! Great service and yummy drinks. I came with a group of 8. Your entire party needs to be there in order to get seated. We started with a pitcher of the phuket, which was delicious! Super fruity and fresh. I ordered from the authentic menu the fried rice. While it was a little greasy, it was delicious: the different components added to the rice (like chinese sausage) balanced the texture and flavor. One of my friends ordered the mango fish, which I tried and was delicious. The portions are huge, and it was crispy and a little sweet from the mango. I would definitely come back! read more

We stopped by for quick drinks while waiting on our reservation next door... 4 of us ordered 5 x $3 draft beer and 1 cocktail in less than 1 hour and they charged 18% tip without letting us know. mind you.. I was going to pay the waiter a dollar for every beer and $2 for cocktail.. but if the management wants to be sneaky like this and pay staff less money.. that's not my problem. they get 2 stars because the service was fast. read more

Klong - Khao soi - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Very very NYU vibes. Food is definitely good. I ordered the khao soi ($18) while my friend ordered the tom yum noodles ($18). Both were super good, but I saw that their lunch special was $12. Also, atmosphere is dark and romantic which is super super good. The service was very efficient and really good. I would come back again to try other items. read more

The inside of this place is decently-sized, so it would be good for larger groups. It was pretty empty on a Tuesday night, and I can definitely see why, despite it being in a nice location. The service was fast and friendly though. There's a happy hour until 7 pm, and we got a pitcher of Sangria for $19. The sangria was not particularly tasty, but I can't tell if it was from the wine or the fruit. A pitcher is definitely more than enough for 2 people though. The setting is cute though, with a candle-lit table. Pad Thai w/ Chicken ($13) - This was super dry and lacked any flavor. There were definitely too many noodles and not enough sauce. The portion size was massive though and had plenty of chicken. Red Curry w/ Pork ($15) - This also lacked a lot of flavors. We asked for it extra spicy and it was anything but that. Again, the pork was pretty good but everything else was disappointing flavor-wise. The portion size was pretty big but there was not enough rice to go with the curry. read more

This is a hidden gem in St. Marks-- came here and ordered the pad see ew lunch special which came with two spring rolls, soup, and entree all for just $12, which I feel like is a great deal in the city. Service is very good and prompt, ambiance is dim and well decorated, and the food was good. 10/10 would recommend if you want Thai food for lunch and want to save money :) read more

Klong - Pad See Euw Noodle Lunch Special with beef - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

This place was lowkey to me as I probably wouldn't run into anyone I know. Basil fried rice at the bottom of photo and Ke Moa at the top. The basil fried rice was good but I had a more favorable place for this kind of dish. The Ke mao was delicious and the noodle kept the temperature of the food for a long period of time. Ke Mao felt more wet and moist due to the nature of the texture the noodle provides. It also had more chicken inside dish than fried rice if Iam not mistaken. read more

I came here with two friends on a Friday night for dinner without reservations and we got there around 6 which was early enough for it not to be too busy. We got the chicken satay, calamari, taro spring rolls, tofu pad thai, and shrimp green curry. It came out really fast, but kind of suspiciously fast and it was somewhat lukewarm/cold. I wished the tofu was crispier or something but it was really just large, unflavored tofu chunks. The flavor on everything was also a little bit lacking in my opinion, but we liked the taro spring rolls the best out of everything. We also got a lychee mojito pitcher and it was really good!! The aesthetics of the place were really nice and I think I would come back for drinks, but maybe not for food. Another side note is that I was not a fan of the frosted glass doors on the bathroom, it's mildly uncomfortable. read more

Good food and The happy hour never is a miss I would really wish the servers would give you space and not interfere when you're having an intimate moment with your friends, coworkers or partner ETC.. the service is nice but it feels rushed and I hate that. read more

Klong is my new favorite Thai food place! I'm not super picky with Thai food, as I love the taste of any standard Thai noodles or fried rice, but this was by far some of the tastiest Thai places I've been to. I ordered the basil fried rice, and I will definitely be coming back to order it again (and hopefully try the other dishes)! We came here to eat before a concert, and noticed that they had some well-priced drinks, so of course we ordered a pitcher of margarita. As someone who isn't fond of the taste of alcohol, I loved that the margarita didn't have a strong alcoholic taste but still did the job, if you know what I mean ;) read more

Klong - Basil Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Food is decent, drink prices are good, all around it's what you're looking for to start a night out on St. Marks.

Friend and I stopped by on a Friday night to grab a drink but as soon as we sat down, the waiter came around for last calls already?? We got a pitcher of sangria to share but it was so watered down we couldn't get past our first glass. It seemed like there were many groups around having fun, so maybe next time we should come earlier with a group of friends and try another drink! read more

I've been coming here for years and these people never disappoint at all. The service is amazing and so is the food .

Ive come here a bunch of times and this is my last time i will be coming. Food was great but when it came to the bill etc . They did not provide me with an itemized bill (i had to ask for it) when i was closing out my bill and also was asked for my card to be held on to when i ordered stuff. i have managed restaurants in the past and noticed that when the party next to me was ordering he never asked for their card to be held. when i asked for the itemized bill to be provided to me i saw there was a charge of 18% automatic gratuity. (for a party of 1) . That is illegal to do, You must show it in your menu that you will be charging an 18% automatic bill in the menu (if you are going to do that, or it has to be for a party of 4-5 or more) . Please check/ask for your itemized bill before you close out. I will be reporting them to the BBB. read more

Some really good Thai food here! Ngl this place was lowkey hard to find since it's under a few stairs next to a bunch of businesses but eventually I found it. The sesame tofu was delicious and unique since it was crusted with black and white sesame seeds and came with a sweet and sour salsa dip. The spring rolls were also delicious! The pad see ew with mock duck was definitely a stand out dish. It wasn't too salty and the flavors were honestly quite perfect. The mock duck was soft and melted in my mouth. I can't recommend this place enough - especially for the $6 margaritas. read more

REALLY good lunch special deals here! You can get an appetizer, soup or salad, and a entree for a low price (I forgot the exact price, somewhere around $10) - I got tom yum soup with chicken instead of the clear broth for an addional price, crab rangoons, and pad thai. Everything was presented really well and was very tasty for the price. We also did order an appetizer on the side - taro fries and coconut shrimp. I normally don't even like taro but these paired really well with the sauce it came with and it was a pretty big portion! We had many leftovers to take home for dinner. read more

Excellent food, drinks and ambiance here. The food is delicious and a great value for the amount & quality that you get. The service is quick considering there are so many people around. The crowd definitely attracts nearby college students but the space is large, so noise level is appropriate for conversations. They also have margarita pitchers, which was super exciting and the flavor is sweet but the alcohol will sneak up on you. It's also located in an area convenient if you want to do karaoke or go out afterwards! read more

Klong - Kee Mao - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

This was a pretty average Thai restaurant. I had the lychee curry and subbed the duck for tofu and vegetables. I appreciate that they have non-standard menu items, but the quality wasn't terribly impressive. The main appeal seems to be the low-cost drinks. read more

A fantastic, solid spot for Thai food and drinks! Located right in St Marks ville, I was surprised I never noticed this place as it was already starting to crowd at 5PM on a weekend, with both outdoor and indoor dining options. We ordered Pad Thai with Pork ($14), Kee Mao with Pork ($14), Firecrackers ($8), and their $6 Margaritas and Mimosas. For appetizers, the Firecrackers were a fitting name. Essentially shrimp wrapped in spring roll wrapping, the crunch from the wrappers made them fun to eat, especially with a nice tangy sauce to go with it. Warm and comforting, the Pad Thai satisfied my cravings. They didn't offer lime so there wasn't any sour taste to it if you're looking. However, what they do have is delicious juicy pork! I thought their meat would be small tiny pieces, so I was shocked to see how huge and flavorful their pork was. The Kee Mao wasn't too spicy and was quite flavorful. I enjoyed the bamboo shoots that were in it. And of course, the $6 drinks, which my friend raved about, was a great steal. We had the chance to try majority of the Margaritas, and I would say the Mango and Strawberry had the most fruity taste. The Mimosas were good too, although they were served quite lukewarm. I don't mind an ice in there or two! Overall, a really comforting spot for Thai food and happy hour drinks! Would come again. Go early if you want the crazy attentive and fast service! read more

Honestly best place for cheap drinks and eats on St Marks. Staff is very nice and the environment is fun to be in. It's a little tricky getting a seat during weekends because it's gotten so popular! They have never switched up the prices for drinks though! read more

Klong - Kee Mao Lunch Special - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Klong in St Marks appears to have a superb deal for lunch. However, we were there for dinner. The place tends to close a little earlier than expected on Mondays, by about 15 min. We ordered the crispy Mango Fish and the chicken pad Kee mao. The crispy Mango Fish is a tad pricey and is listed among their "authentic dishes." I ended up liking it, and it is really filling as well. The fish is served with rice in the side. Rozena's pad Kee mao was a little disappointing. They might have gone a little overboard with ginger on that one. The best part were the flat noodles but we do wish we'd had the pad see ew rather. Might be a better spot for lunch than for dinner, especially considering its proximity to NYU. read more

I have been coming to Klong for many many YEARS and last night I experienced the WORSE service I've ever experienced! We were a party of 8 ladies, had a table reservation, and spent a pretty large amount that night. The server, Tall slim man, about 30-37 age, wearing a Travis Scott white t-shirt, during evening/dinner time. He seemed bothered that my party was there since we arrived, he kept nagging at us to order quick and wanted us to leave immediately!! We were there for about 3 hours and as I'm still having my drink, I have my water taken away Without asking, as if pushing us out! then proceeds to lie to our face saying he has a party of 12 to sit where we are...mind you, the table we were sat on that we reserved, wasn't able to sit 12 plus, there was no party of 12 that we saw standing waiting. So I asked for a glass of water again because I wasn't done, and the server, tall slim/tshirt guy, hands me a BURNING HOT glass of water and did NOT MENTION it was hot water, so I take a gulp and now my tounge and throat are burning! And instead of apologizing, the server proceeds to yell at my face that "I asked for hot water", even though I never did! I asked for a glass of water! and he got hostile! It was the worse experience I've had as a long time customer!!! I'll be taking my report further, in hopes to shut this place down. Disappointed!! read more

We were able to quickly get a table for two at around 6:30 pm on a Sunday! I got the Hua Hin fried rice, which gives you the option of choosing the included meat and we shared a pitcher. The fried rice had a lot more pork than I expected, which I'm sure many people would appreciate and I enjoyed the refreshing inclusion of the pineapple, lychee, and raisins! The portion size was also large enough for me to split the meal between dinner and lunch the next day. read more

Always come here for some good Thai food in the east village, and it never disappoints. The portions are so big they get you so full and satisfied, and it is truly SO DELICIOUS. I am basic and always get the pad Thai or pad see ew, but it is still very delectable nonetheless. However, beware dine-in eaters, they ask for a credit card to start a tab once you order your food, even if you aren't ordering any drinks. Kind of strange, since they're the first restaurant I've ever seen do this, but my table was very cooperative. read more
