    I came here one evening with my boyfriend for a quick bite before an event and thought that it was okay. The interior is dim and vibey, and service was impeccable--we sat at the bar and the bartender was so sweet and attentive. We got their salt and pepper calamari and the pad kee mao to share. Portions are definitely on the smaller side compared to other popular Thai spots in the city, and prices are about the same (if not a BIT more expensive). I thought that the calamari was good but had too much breading. I enjoyed their pad kee mao and thought that it was very flavorful and yummy. Overall, although it wasn't bad I think there are other Thai spots that I would prefer in NYC.

    Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup

    Lenlen was a last minute solo visit while running errands in the neighborhood. I sat at the bar and ordered Wagyu soup and papaya salad . The salad was fairly standard somtum version. Average size which was good wake up call for my palette. The soup came out piping hot and the beef raw was slowly cooking while I was wrapping up somtum. The broth was deep and rich and didn't require much adjustment . I added fresh basil , bean sprouts and lime and everything came together. The Wagyu on top was tasty and another cuts of beef rounded off the noodles. Overall a satisfying lunch.

    Really large shareable portions! Would recommend the dish with the durian as that was the most unique

    Came here on a Thursday night without a reservation. Managed to get a seat by the bar for the three of us. Good options available for both cocktails and food. I asked the bar man what he would recommend and basically ordered it. I started with the chicken wings which was nice and crispy. Also tried the calamari but the serving was pretty small. For entrees we got the pad see ew (spicy), the chicken kaprow (even more spicy) and also the Durian crab curry. I was a bit unsure about ordering the durian dish as it's usually pungent from flat u have experienced. All was very nice and we also ordered ice cream for dessert which was really good. I had the Thai tea cocktail which came with some thick condensed milk forth. It was nice but i was expecting something sweeter. It was still good though!

    LOVE this newish thai spot so much, i think this may be my new favorite in the flatiron neighborhood. my friend and i came on a fri evening and it was a very lively and vibey atmosphere! the lighting and beautiful decor takes you back to another time - being here makes me feel like i'm on the set of "in the mood for love". definitely try the crab durian curry! it's very unique! w also got the pad kee mao, which was well spiced, and the salt and pepper calamari appetizer. service here is friendly and attentive, checking in multiple times throughout our meal. looking forward to returning to try the other menu options!

    sticky rice ice cream
    Morlene C.

    I've been known to enjoy durian on occasion, as well as crab curry on others, but together?? It might sound too pungent to work but it's better than it sounds. Or it's as good as it sounds, depending on your palate. The durian wasn't overpowering at all. Instead, it infused the crab with a mild sweetness that countered the richness of the coconut cream in the curry nicely. I would gladly return for this dish again. The phed udon larb, which is made with duck breast, was a spicy, flavor explosion served over crunchy lettuce. Branzino can be bony, but don't let that scare you because their fried fish pacha was deboned and served with a powerful chili, garlic, and basil sauce. The side of market greens was as large as our entrees, and was just the veggie side we needed to round out the meal. Every dish was meant to be eaten with white rice, so you get full fast. This didn't stop us from indulging in the sticky rice ice cream, and we're so glad we did. Sometimes rice flavored ice cream is too subtle in flavor for me, but this one was just right, and was served with a delicious crumble and perfectly sweet strawberries. They run such a great bar program that I have been back to the bar just for cocktails. While I loved the tomato som tum, which was so savory from the fish sauce, basil, peanut, and basil, what wowed me even more was the Jasmine Martini. I usually find martinis too spirit forward for me but this one is so smooth and has the right touch of sweetness that complemented the jasmine tea flavor so well. The space looks very cool, transporting you back to Southeast Asia in a previous decade. Versatile enough for a small or large group, casual or elevated.

    Crab durian curry
    Laura O.

    The city's Thai restaurant scene has been great in recent years. LenLen one of the most recent additions, and it has some familiar classics but also distinguishes itself with some singular dishes, drinks, and decor. Food: Papaya and seasonal fruit som tum (tomato, green beans, roasted peanuts, chili, garlic): This was one crunchy, fiery, vinegary starter! Enjoyed it but I would try something else in its place next time. Crab Durian Curry (lump crab, coconut milk, spaghetti squash): I was a little bit nervous about the durian (like many, I've been victimized by it in Southeast Asia), but this is an absolute must-order dish. It was so delicious! The curry is on the sweet side, but it has a gentle fruitiness and a spicy kick to it as well. Crab fried rice: Great version of the classic dish, but I forgot to try green sauce and fish sauce with chilies that were served with it (was genuinely too distracted by the durian curry). Thai tea creme brulee: literally tastes exactly like Thai ice tea, but with the creme brulee crunch on top. Perfect. Lemongrass gimlet (gin, lemongrass, quinquina, yellow chartreuse, lime cordial): excellent and easy to drink. The lemongrass pairs well with the herbal yellow chartreuse. Thai tea (Mekhong, blackstrap rum, Thai tea blend, toasted rice orgeat, lemon, orange condensed milk foam, cardamom). Where the brulee had a true-to-tea flavor, this mai tai riff (mai thai tea would've been a great name) is more of an ode than an exact alcoholic replica of Thai tea. I loved it, though I love the molasses notes in blackstrap rum, which was dominant here. The condensed milk foam on top is thick and almost functions as a whipped cream. Other notes: -the front of the restaurant appears to double as a little shop with Thai products that you can presumably purchase. -presumably you can actually shop at the -The space looks great and the vibes are trendy but casual. -smaller parties can sit at the bar or at round tops near the bar. Generally larger groups were seated in the back dining area. -Our server was so nice and very chill.

    Had a curry craving and this did not disappoint! When we weren't able to get a table at our favorite thai spot - we walked in here and were able to sit at the bar. The vibes are cozy and upscale all at once. We were unfamiliar with the menu so asked for recommendations from the bartender and got the durian crab curry and the crab fried rice - these together were absolutely amazing. We were licking the plate clean. I wish we got more food to try honestly considering. The curry was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy with very large chunks of crab meat so you dont feel jipped on protein. We got the thai tea creme brulee to top it off and it could not have been a better meal to cap our craving!!

    Mott street sling and lemongrass gimlet
    Nickey L.

    Awesome retro inspired Thai restaurant near the union square area. The decor was apparently derived from 1970's Bangkok- loved it. Came for lunch and tried the Mott street sling to start - super refreshing cocktail! We ordered the som tum, pad kee mao, and egg curry. All dishes were amazing. Super flavorful! The egg curry was especially a must have. Our server Rose was friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Overall great experience, will return to try other menu items.

    We were able to walk in at about 8:45 on a Saturday with no wait for bar seating. It's a very cool vibe. We only ordered dinner - shared the fried chicken appetizer and I got the Crab Durian Curry. Everything was yummy and spicy. Would love to come back for drinks & dessert next time.

    Pad Kee Mao
    Maggie Z.

    Really enjoyed eating here! I've been here with groups for both brunch and dinner. Their durian crab curry for dinner and tornado egg curry for brunch are both top hitters. Would skip on the pandan pancake (a bit too dense) but everything else on the menu is great. Really enjoyed the steak frites as well

    Crab Durian Curry/Kaeng Kua- Lump crab, coconut milk, spaghetti squash. $36. Our favorite. Delicious and perfect for a durian fan such as me
    Glenn C.

    Minor side note/mini review- Was with some folks sharing everything with one person who doesn't eat meat, so we got all seafood. Luckily, it was stellar, with our favorite being the crab durian curry, and I would say the flavors make up for the prices, at least for what we ordered. Would go back. I went to this new crowded Thai restaurant with a group about a week ago. They have a funky and fun atmosphere with plenty of odd and amusing pictures on the walls, and they were a bit loud. The lighting was a tad dim, so I had to use night mode, which resulted in some of my images not turning out the best quality. The staff was friendly and very receptive regarding allergies, and we had a good time here with a couple of excellent dishes and a couple of good ones. To drink, a bunch of us split a bottle of the French 2021 Petite Manseng Ode d'Aydie from Vignobles Laplace. This is $19 a glass or $76 for a bottle and was tasty, reminding me of a minerally version of a Pinot Grigio. I haven't had this type of grape before, but I would look for it again, and obviously at a cheaper price at Astor Wines or another wine store. The first dish that arrived was the Salmon and Market Fruit Yum for $24 with raw Ora King salmon, cherry tomato, onion, and chili. The raw salmon was of good quality with several large meaty pieces, and the fruit in this case was grapes. There was a pleasant amount of heat, with some nice sourness, and the dish reminded me of a smaller, slightly fancier version of the sadly closed SamMuk in Jackson Heights, with better-quality and thicker pieces of salmon, but a bit less spicy and a bit less complex. The best dish of the night was the one I was looking forward to the most. This was the Crab Durian Curry/Kaeng Kua for $36 with lump crab, coconut milk, and spaghetti squash. I love durian, and this is the first time I've seen it cooked in a dish outside of desserts in a good while. The crab was plentiful, and the delicious durian mash was at the bottom, and became a pleasant contrast to the curry after mixing. This paired perfectly with the rice, though I do believe we had to pay an extra $5, but that is the case with most Thai spots now, unfortunately. There was also the Seafood Tom Yum for $36 with head-on prawn, mussels, squid, milk, tomato, garlic, galangal, lemongrass, lime, chili, cilantro, culantro, and mushroom. This was the dish I was most concerned about due to my severe allergy to cephalopods, and they were able to serve the squid on a separate plate for the other people sharing with me. The dish had plenty of mussels in particular, and the shrimp inside were fresh and plump. It was a bit less spicy and less tamarind-intense than most tom yum, but the flavor was nice overall, and I would recommend it for sharing. The last main dish was the Fried Fish Pa Cha for $28 with branzino, chili, garlic, basil, peppercorn, and grachai, which is also known as fingerroot and is a type of ginger. This was my least favorite of the main dishes, as the fish wasn't super crispy, unlike at some other spots, though it was pretty well-portioned, being cut into large pieces. It had an herbal flavor with a mild level of heat, with the greens adding a bit of crunch. It was also surprisingly a bit sweet. While not my favorite, it was still pretty good. This Thai spot is already crowded and for good reason. It reminds me in some ways of a better version of Fish Cheeks, at least in terms of the seafood dishes. I am looking forward to trying some of the meat options as well next time. Would recommend.

    Chicken wings, Durian Curry
    Melissa H.

    We did two rounds of orders - the first round was a 10/10 - durian curry, drunken noodle, and the chicken wings. My fave was def the chicken wings. The second round was kind of mid - it was the sausage and the fried rice. They were out of the drink I wanted to order so I got two of the martinis, which were delicious and adorable in their tiny little cups. They didn't have the tables set up to handle a large group reservation so they had us get up to shift our table a couple of times in between the dinner.

The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.
