Everything about this place was beautiful. My friend and I stumbled upon this restaurant since both of us love Thai food and she's never tried more of the authentic dishes. I happily introduced her to my two favorite go tos: the crab fried rice and the steamed branzino. The crab fried rice was nothing like I was used to. Even at some of the other notable Thai restaurants I've been to, their crab fried rice presentation was basic compared to this one. The egg on this fried rice was soft and melty the soon it touches your tongue, and we didn't even have to chew it. It melted perfectly with the buttery crab and the rice was so warm and soft. It was a sizable portion but it didn't take us long to gobble it all down. Then came the steamed branzino. The presentation here I want to say is so unique that it blew me away. The fish was cut so that the head and tail of the fish was chopped off (a little disappointed but glad it was clean cut), the fish was so soft you would question if it was even fish...the soup was lightly seasoned with chili and lime and it wasn't super overpoweringly spicy that you can still taste the fish flavor. Everything was delicious and they even had a pre fixe menu that I will definitely come back and try again! My drink I ordered was also very creative and a mix of strong bourbon with the creaminess of Thai tea. Very interesting combination but I don't hate it! It was strong and welcoming and I want to try the other drinks when I come back as well. As pictured, the drink menu is beautiful and our server came back and forth to make sure everything was okay. We actually stayed past closing hours but they weren't rushing us (which was very hospitable of them) read more

I came here for restaurant week 2026 for dinner because I was craving fried soft shell crab and they had it on their menu. From the second we entered until we left, service was great. They were conscious of always keeping my water filled (I was very thirsty) and the timing of the courses was great. We weren't left sitting waiting for long for the next course but we also didn't feel rushed. The portions were large and I think it was a good deal for restaurant week. My friend ordered the pork chop for his entree and it came with two large chops. Good to take back as leftovers. read more

Was in the area so decided to takeout from KRAAM Thai for lunch. Had the Crab Volcanic Egg Fried Rice which was very good - nice large chunks of crab. It probably would have been even better if I had it at the restaurant but it traveled okay. Very friendly service at pickup. read more

Came here just as happy hour was about to end for a fairly early dinner on Friday. There weren't many people there which made the experience quite easy for us. Interior is quite beautiful. Bathrooms on the lower level were also very clean and spacious. We enjoyed a couple cocktails under the happy hour prices - the Bellini & the Martini. Both were quite good. To start, we grabbed some okra. It had some teriyaki sauce marinated in it, which brought out a good kick. The star for me was the pad tofu & eggplant. Nice and tasty with a generous portion of vegetables and spice level was perfect. It doesn't come with rice, so you'll have to order some but it was great. To end the meal, we got mango sticky rice as a dessert. That was very good, the warm sticky rice complemented the mangoes which were impeccable. read more

Great Thai spot! We loved the ambiance at the restaurant. It is upscale, and I like how the tables are a bit spaced out. Food was solid. We got the calamari, beef massaman, duck red curry, lon lump crab, chili lime branzino, ribeye garlic fried rice, suki hang seafood, and Brussels sprouts. Overall, the proteins were tender and the flavors were good, especially the fried rice, massaman and red curry, but the dishes were not necessarily standout. I wouldn't get the crab dish or the seafood glass noodle as the textures were off, the spices in the crab curry like the lemongrass were too large and the glass noodles lumped together. Service was fine. Note that there is a cake fee, and it's $4 per person. read more

Was recently in the Flatiron area and wanted to grab a late dinner, every time we walked by this Thai restaurant on Fifth Avenue, it was always full of people, so we decided to try it and very happy we did. The dining area is nicely decorated with beautifully painted walls in the main dining room. The host was very nice informing us that the kitchen was closing soon but we could be served if we knew what we wanted. We ordered the crispy tofu appetizer, a flat noodle dish with shaved ribeye and a Pad Thai. Everything was delicious and nicely plated with the cook bringing the food to the table. I would definitely go back for the noodle dish with a generous portion of shaved ribeye, it was amazing and of course the Pad Thai was also very good. For sure, one of the best Thai restaurants in Manhattan. read more

Extremely cute restaurant and wonderful and attentive service It was beautifully decorated and the servers were kind and attentive. Amazing place for date night. The food was surprisingly good. They use special tofu which is more rubbery. The drunken noodles had good taste. However the quantity is less for the price The Thai iced tea was okay. You're better getting bubble tea from nearby since it's near Korea Town read more

Everything tasted really good and you can tell the chef did a great job with combining the flavors. At the end we all wished we got more food. As you can tell, the curry needed more liquid and felt like portions weren't enough. read more

Went here with a friend to celebrate her birthday and had a great experience. The space is modern, spacious, and lovely, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations. We ordered a few starters and a soft shell crab curry with jasmine rice and vermicelli noodles--everything was delicious and perfect portion for two girls! We also enjoyed our non-alcoholic drinks alongside the meal. A special touch: the staff surprised my friend with ice cream and a candle after I noted her birthday in the reservation. Such a thoughtful gesture! Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had Ka Prow off the lunch special menu. Frankly, I wasnt expecting much- it was just before they closed for their mid-afternoon break and the restaurant was almost empty. The lunch special came with shrimp and pork wonton soup (they call it wonton) which was outstanding- delicate and flavorful with a slightly thickened but clear broth. The chicken in the Ka Prow was tender and was very lightly sauced with a mild caramel flavor - delicious but not sweet. Even the rice was superior (hard to accomplish at the end of lunchtime. I asked for chilis and fish sauce. I was brought a little dish with fish sauce and finely minced chilies. Service was friendly and charming. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. I'd go back for dinner. read more

It's after midnight and I'm still thinking about my dinner. I had the massaman beef curry with potato pavé. The sauce was damn delicious!! It was served to me a little warm but I didn't even care. I ate all of it! The beef was soooo tender. Just fell apart. Melted in my mouth. My mom had the crab fried rice and we shared an order of Brussels sprouts. Her dish was good. Not as memorable for me but definitely solid. The Brussels sprouts were cooked well. Could use a little less soy flavor but I enjoyed them. I took home some pad kee mao for the next day. Also very solid from the little taste I had. The prices are a little "up there" but the restaurant is cozy and well decorated. The staff was kind and did generally well even though they completely forgot to put in my order. I'd return on a special occasion. read more

What a pleasant surprise to stumble upon a delicious Thai restaurant offering one of the best braised beef cheek in the city. The host was very welcoming and even went out of his way to accommodate our early arrival (by 45 mins). The restaurant had a modern and sleek decor with the bar being the center piece. It was a narrow restaurant but didn't feel overly crowded. Aside from the very tasty beef cheek, we really enjoyed the ribeye garlic fried rice. The meat was tender and the garlic flavor wasn't overpowering; but I did wish the portion would be a big bigger. Although the chili lime branzino was fresh, as far as steam fish goes, this one didn't catch my attention. Services were great and prompt and our server provided great recommendations. We had a small issue during dinner but it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend this Thai restaurant if you are in the area. read more

Visited here on a Friday night for dinner and it was quite quiet when we arrived for a 7pm reservation. By the time we left it was definitely much busier with people waiting for a table, but we never felt rushed to leave. I also appreciated that they let us sit at the table before our entire party arrived. We ordered the beef fried rice, chicken pad Thai, shrimp wontons, tuna tartare, the chive sticks, and the mango sticky rice. Between three of us, we practically licked the bowls clean! All of the food was tasty and flavorful. One thing to note is the tuna tartare is very spicy. They warned us and I didn't believe them, but it packs a punch! Would return! read more

Overall rating: 4.7 Stumbled on this place which was absolutely gorgeous. Went with a group of 5 and they were able to split the check which we really liked. I had the Soft Shell Curry which was delicious. Definitely get with white rice. I wanted to take some of it to go, but it was soo good I ate it all! The spot looks great solo, on a date or with friends. I loved it. When I came it was slow. But towards the end, it was so crowded and had like 3 birthdays. Highly recommend! read more

By and far one of the best meals we had in NYC. Wait time was practically nothing, and the service was top notch. Coats taken from us to check in, water refills constantly, and smiles all around. Food was excellent, great flavor profiles and portion sizes. Our friends with us have never really eaten Thai or been out much, so for their first real Thai experience it was an exceptional one and set the standard pretty high. read more

My friend and I came to Kraam for Summer Restaurant Week and while the environment and foods is decent, I was a bit disappointed with the flavors, especially as there are so many amazing Thai spots in Manhattan. We started the watermelon salad and burrata. The menu said the saiad was topped with seasoned crispy branzino but honestly I didn't see any pieces of fish and the combination of watermelon and crispy garlic and shallots was a bit odd and the dish was pretty oily. The burrata was yummy with chili jam but nothing special. For mains, we got the wok-fried crispy seafood (this was my favorite of the meal) and the ground beef with rice and eggplant. The fried seafood was nicely seasoned with a light breading. The ground beef dish though I could make myself and while it had a nice flavor and spicy kick, I thought it was deceptive marketing to call it dry aged ribeye when it's really ground beef. Finally we got the coconut puff with butterfly pea coconut ice cream for dessert as the shaved ice was sold out. The coconut puff was rich and creamy which was a nice decadent way to end the meal but the coconut ice cream was way too sweet my taste and fairly generic. Overall not bad but a little disappointing as the flavors were just ok and for the price ($60 per person) for restaurant week, the meal really wasn't worth it. read more

They were having restaurant week which was 1 appetizer, 1 entree, and 1 dessert for $60 (dinner). We shared a restaurant week and got an extra entree. The waitress was extremely patient and helpful in helping us choose our dishes and giving us recommendations. Appetizer - Yum Som O Lobster I've never had Pomelo salad before. The flavors were good, similar to papaya salad though I personally prefer the crunchy texture of papaya over pomelo (similar to grapefruit). The lobster tail was cooked well, but they gave half a lobster tail and it was relatively small (about the size of a large shrimp). Entrees Tom som Chilean sea bass: probably my favorite dish of the night. The sea bass was super soft and melted in my mouth. Even the mushrooms were nice and soft. The broth itself was a nice clear sour soup, but wasn't as flavorful as some other Thai restaurants I've been to. Again I felt the portion was a little small since they only gave four chunks of fish. Seafood Pad Kee Mao ($30): One of the rare times that they do give a lot of seafood, but I wish they gave more noodles instead. Good flavor and overall a good pad Kee Mao. Dessert - thapthim krop The shaved ice in coconut milk reminded me of the Vietnamese dessert, Che. Except the ice here was hardened so I couldn't break it into the coconut milk. There were very few pieces of jackfruit and the chestnut jellies were hard as if they had just taken them out of the fridge. Very disappointing end to an otherwise good meal. Overall, I would say the flavors were good but not worth the price. However, if you're looking for good Thai food in East Midtown area, it's worth giving this place a shot. read more

Summer Restaurant Week returned late July and ran three weeks ending August 17th. However many places are continuing it till the end of the month and into September. Kraam Thai's menu was appealing. I ate there last week. Located in the Flatiron District, this restaurant was pretty. Limited outdoor seating but an interior that has flowers, foliage, overhead fans and lovely seating. It almost felt colonial. What did I choose? To begin, I had the Chili Prawns Wonton served in a spicy lime sauce. The chicken and prawns were tasty combination and were filling. The broad rice noodles with Peking Duck were silky and seeped in flavor that I have been dreaming about them all week. Normally I don't order a drink but the mocktail sounded interesting. Lychee, passion fruit and coconut was not in my opinion a good combination. What I should have had was the mango mojito. Several customers had ordered it. Service was fine and Joshua had I'll Ed in Thailand and was familiar with the cuisine. The restroom is downstairs and it is such a lovely well decorated large space to freshen up. Summer Restaurant Week here runs through the end of this month so I hope I can go again. This time I want to have the corn ribs as the appetizer and pair it with the mango mojito read more

Food 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 4/5 We celebrated a birthday here with a large party of 20+ people, taking up the inner dining room. This is definitely an aesthetically pleasing restaurant, and it's rare that I leave a pre-fixe menu feeling actually full, so major props for that! The appetizers were generally subpar, with the exception of the Crispy Chive Sticks which were definitely the favorite from that section. Overall, my takeaway is that if you order the right things, you'll have a great experience here! The highlights was def the soft shell crab and crab fried rice. What we tried: Appetizers: Crispy Chive Sticks: 4.5/5 - Our top pick from the apps! Grilled Squid Salad: 3/5 - A bit too much cilantro for my taste. Prawn Satay: 3/5 - Mediocre, though the prawn was decently meaty. Grilled Sweet Corn with Papaya Salad: 3.5/5 - On the spicier side but still tasty. Sweet Chili Tofu: 2/5 - My least favorite; the tofu was too hard and firm. Entrees Pad Eggplant and Tofu: 2/5 - I'd probably skip anything with tofu here. Chicken Roasted Market Vegetables Green Curry: 2.5/5 - Didn't really wow me; pretty basic. Braised Beef Massaman Curry: 4/5 - This dish was great, but honestly, the potatoes were the trurock star! Crispy Soft Shell Crab: 4.5/5 - This definitely stood out and was probably the favorite thing we got from the entrees! Choo Chee Branzino: 4/5 - Yummy branzino, perfectly cooked. Crab Volcanic Egg Fried Rice: 4.5/5 - I'm always a big fan of Thai crab fried rice, and they certainly didn't disappoint. Desserts Matcha Yuzu Cheesecake: 5/5 - Loved, loved the bold yuzu flavors, and the cheesecake wasn't heavy at all! Mango Sticky Rice: 4.5/5 - The sticky rice with mango was perfect with the coconut cream. read more

Would not recommend for delivery, maybe the dining experience is different. Got a green curry with vegetables and vermicelli. Not sure if the vermicelli was rice or gluten. The curry sauce and the vegetables came separately. The only decent thing was the sauce, the vegetables smelled of some oil that I cant figure out. Will definitely not be ordering in again from here. read more

Gorgeous Thai eatery on 5th avenue- a convenient 15 min to Penn station and close to numerous subway stations. The place is small and fills up quick, so be sure to make a reservation. They have a happy hour from 12:30-6:30PM which is nice, but prices are still high with a happy hour cocktail being priced at $13. We got the green curry and pad kee mao which was delicious! Ended the night with the lava cake. No complaints at all on the food, just that the place was small and it definitely felt like we were being rushed to wrap up (makes sense, they probably had a long line of people waiting for reservations, but not the best experience). read more

Kraam Thai on Fifth is a lovely respite from the transactional busyness of NYC. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was something special. The attention to detail -- fresh flowers, a discreet cultural altar, tamarind candy, navy cocktail napkins, gold silverware, and delicate plating -- was an absolute delight. We settled at the bar watching Kevin craft the most beautiful cocktails while sipping a few of our own -- pleased with every drop. The spicy crispy chicken rolls were chef's kiss. The ribeye garlic fried rice was bold, deeply savory & dangerously good. The chicken pad Thai struck a delicate balance between tangy and bright & perfectly restrained. If you find yourself north of Flatiron, and aren't feeling Korean - this little Thai gem shouldn't be missed; stop in on Mondays & Tuesdays read more

We have been to Kraam many times now and the food is always excellent. I was sad they removed the khao soi from the menu, but they like to change dishes out seasonally. The newest Autumn addition that I love is the kua duck noodle, I hope this becomes a regular menu item. It is delicious and comes with a spicy sauce that elevates the dish. Luckily the duck noodle is on their lunch special list (the dishes on the lunch special come with a free appetizer, chive sticks, soup or kale salad). We also tried the choo chee and beef cheek massaman and both are excellent, full of flavor and depth. The ribeye garlic fried rice is a must and we have it each time we go. The peking duck salad is also extremely good and has a nice hint of spice to it. So basically everything we have tried we have very much enjoyed. As I mentioned in my first review, the space is beautifully decorated with a bar in the front and has a good amount of tables. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and we have had a great experience every time we have dined in. I have only ordered their takeout once and it arrived hot and was still delicious. My only concern is they are never very busy when we go and I really want them to stay in business since the food is so good. While their typical thai dishes are good (curries, pad kee mao etc) this is a place to come for less common items (eg duck kua noodle) and more elevated thai dishes. read more

Had a lovely upscale casual date night with my partner at Kraam recently! My partner really enjoyed the Octopus appetizer (it was less up my alley preference-wise but objectively a great dish). We got the Soft Shell Crab Khao Soi (seasonal dish) which was super fun because you assemble it yourself! The crab, broth, etc were all fantastic. We also really enjoyed our pork belly appetizer too. All in all a solid meal!! read more

A morning at NYPL in Bryant park, a late lunch, with Kraam as the venue. Mostly deserted, I was flanked by two male pairs, two friends exchanging stories and two others on a date. Charmed. Later, another sole female diner like myself showed up. The waiter was at my elbow when I needed him. I had the pad kee mao or drunken noodles with tofu. Spicy, chewy, smoky and undeniably greasy, this absolutely hit the spot. Also, deep fried chive rolls, bone dry, crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Did I have to discreetly loosen a pant button or two? No, gentle reader. Because I have sensibly learned to wear pants with elasticized waistbands. Enough about my sartorial choices. This place is great. Just go there. And enjoy. read more

I went to this tasty Thai spot that has been open for a while a good while ago as per most of my recent reviews. The prices might be a tad higher than some of the other Thai spots but they do some very worthy elevations of general Thai food and also offer some dishes which are not found in other places outside of having to go to Elmhurst or something with the location partially contributing to the prices (see Nomad Tea Parlour next door for a similar much worse example.) They also occasionally have some very unique rotating dishes and the portion sizes are generally big enough that it's worth it as well. We went here around happy hour and I had a Passion Fruit Bellini which is a rather uncommon cocktail for me as I generally don't like Prosecco which I believe was $13 and was pretty tasty with a artful presentation with a flower in it. The service was friendly. As they were out of the Krapow (Kaphrao) Peking Duck that day, we started with something that I don't think is on the current menu which is one of my personal favorites; the Nam Khao/Spicy Herbal Crispy Rice & Pork Sausage Salad listed as a Laotian salad with chili, roasted peanuts, shallots, scallion, cilantro, and ginger which was around $20 or so (I honestly don't remember the price.) The dish is Laotian in origin and is primarily found at northeastern Thai/Isan spots (which is easy to tell from the Laotian sour sausage/sai krok Isan in there) and I was very happy to find it here and introduce it to some of the people who had never had it before. The dish was presented deconstructed which was a fun touch and we mixed in everything. The dish had crunch, sourness, spiciness, and some freshness as expected and was a good take. There's a few other Isan spots with better versions but for a non Isan spot, this was a very good variant and I hope it comes back on the menu. We otherwise ordered a bunch of main dishes. The most expensive but excellent was the Braised Beef Cheek Massaman for $36 with potato gratin, crispy shallot, and braised shallot. Many places make their massaman curry a bit too sweet but this was a good exception with a balanced mix of sweetness and curry flavor. The beef was cooked wonderfully with the fat being rendered properly and the potato was a better spin compared to the usual boiled potatoes found in this curry. The price might have been a tad high but this was an excellent interpretation of this dish. Most reasonably priced and closest to a dish found in other more generic Thai spots was the Pad Kee Mao/Drunken Noodles, which is available with a variety of toppings as per the other noodles, but we got it with chicken for $21 with chili, peppercorn, sweet pepper, egg, and basil. The noodles were cooked better than most other places with a very nice wok hei and the bits of chicken were tender. The holy basil was also fried nicely. This was also very tasty though the portion wasn't the hugest. The Black Pepper Ribeye for $29 was simply stir-fried with black pepper, scallion, young peppercorn, and onion. It reminded me of something you would find in a good Chinese place with the steak being roughly cut into thin tender pieces. The sauce already there added a good bit of flavor already but I think the flavor would work even nicer if it was paired with nam jim jeaw. It was good. My least favorite, though more because of personal preference rather than flavor, was the Moo Palo for $26 or 6 hour braised pork belly, tofu, and soft-boiled egg in five spice broth. Though I do like five spice (especially with duck soup,) I've never been the biggest fan of this Chinese-Thai dish as it's usually pretty one note. That being said, the pork belly was cooked nicely and the tofu pockets were a fun unique touch so they did elevate this. Not much to complain about for this place if you ignore the price point which is honestly Justified based on the flavors and unique creations. I would definitely go back here and try more dishes. read more

Walked in on a weekday evening and there were many open tables to sit at. The restaurant slowly filled throughout the night, but I truly believe Kraam is a hidden gem that I could see potentially attracting crowds ala Pranakhon and Mitr. First of all, the restaurant is adorable. Beautifully decorated, with tall ceilings and a gorgeous bar. The volume is not too loud, so it would be a great spot for a date night. The menu was incredibly intriguing to me, far more expansive than your typical Thai fare. We didn't order drinks, but the Happy Hour menu seems like a great deal. We started with a grilled sweet corn salad, which is basically papaya salad with some corn on top. Beware, this dish is very spicy!! My friend and I were almost crying eating it, but we prevailed and eventually the spice subsided. Solid papaya salad. Next, we got the drunken kee mao with tofu. This dish was very good, topped with lightly fried thai basil. No notes. We were really impressed by the choo chee, which is butterflied and deep fried branzino fillet in a choo chee curry (similar to red curry). The presentation was beautiful and the curry was delicious. The fry on the fish was pretty good, although my one complaint would be that it was slightly overfried and hard to bite through at times. For dessert, we ordered a poached banana in warm coconut milk, which was the cherry on top of a lovely meal. This dessert was so comforting and sweet, perfect for a cold NYC night. It's topped with more of the grilled sweet corn, that we started with in the papaya salad. The poached banana was so soft and the flavors were perfect with the sweet and creamy coconut milk. Love an asian dessert soup. read more

Definitely in my curry era. It doesn't even matter what type of curry right now, but Thai curry is some of the best. And when there is a lunch special that features Thai curry I have to jump on it. Kraam Thai Kitchen is perfect for the area. The interior itself is bright. Since it was a nice day we say closer to the opened front of the the restaurant. I mentioned a lunch special before and it was a good one. It came with an appetizer and a main. I got the kale salad as my starter and the peanut dressing was exactly what I love about Thai cuisine. So many strong and delicious flavors in the dressing alone. My mane was the crispy confit khao soi curry. It was so yummy and the portion was HUGE. read more

The good is that it is located a couple of blocks down from the Empire State Building, so you can avoid the tourist crowds and take in the city. Outdoor seating is also available. Our group RSVP'd before attending. The service was attentive, and we were seated promptly upon arrival. However, the space is linear, so there are few seating options for multiple groups. Now the food & the bad, the calamari was horrible. It was definitely not fresh. Tasted like it was frozen and overcooked, literally tasted like old rubber bands. The crab volcanic egg fried rice was magnificent with a healthy clump of crab meat. Other items on the table included pork and seafood, no complaints from the other members at the table. read more
