Two years later, they're still serving great food. Their lunch is really nice, not too crowded and reasonable for the quality, if you're in the area it's great to stop by and eat a delicious meal pretty quickly at the bar. I usually get their ka prao smash burger at lunch, but yesterday I tried their pad thai with a chunk of pork belly on top and it was also sublime. Their service is always very fast and very pleasant. Still on my highly recommend if you're in Brooklyn and craving some interesting Thai. read more

Little Grenjai - Pad Thai lunch with pork Belly - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dropped in here for some to-go bites. Even though they were busy, they let us hang out at an open table while we waited for our order. Retro diner vibe inside with very friendly service. We ordered the Grenjai Wedge, Pad Thai and Crab Fried Rice. Good portions Great flavors And just the right amount of heat The price is a bit on the higher end, but well worth it. Looking forward to coming back to dinner in and try the Thai burgers and a cocktail read more

Got the famous burger with eggs and bacon and I see why it's famous. Very favorable, amazing smashed patty. Simple burger with a few frills but very very good. It was also quite decently portioned. Served as my entire meal even though I had no breakfast. It's only served at lunch time btw. Sat at the counter when I came facing the semi-open kitchen so I saw my burger coming together. The staff is super nice and very chill. Service was rather quick even with a full house at brunch time on a Saturday. I definitely want to try The rest of the menu. It's a small spot but feels very homey. read more

We ate brunch here, it is indeed a small restaurant, but they have made excellent use of the space! That said, a reservation (easily made through RESY) is a must, though we did see a few walk-in parties get seated. Very nice decor and relaxing atmosphere. The service was attentive and excellent. The food was amazing! The crab rice with yuzu miso butter was so flavorful, I was tempted to order a serving to take with me for later! We also had the Kings Hawaiian Pandan French Toast which had an excellent pandan flavor, the everything seasoned roti, and the Massaman hash browns which were both perfectly seasoned. For drinks we got the Pandan Matcha Latte (we love pandan) and the House Made Thai Iced Tea, both were delicious. Overall, we enjoyed a stellar brunch with Little Grenjai, and I can't wait for our next time dining with them! read more

Little Grenjai is so bomb!! It's a Thai fusion diner concept in BedStuy. I was in the area for the day and so happy I finally got to eat here..it's been on my list forever. First of, the service is beyond great. They were very attentive and accommodating. They remembered small notes about our dining preferences and followed up about it later on to see if everything was ok. But also just great attitude and very welcoming! We shared a few plates: 1. Chicken Peek Gai Tod Crispy Thai Wings 10/10 the texture is perfect and flavors were amazing. Not super greasy. 2. Coconut Shrimp 7/10 nothing really wrong with it, I'm just not a fan of coconut and shrimp together. My friends really liked it though! 3. Fries 7/10 a little mushy.. I'm not a fan of this shape for fries. I also ordered a single patty Krapow smash burger 10/10 and I wish I got a double!! It was SO GOOD!! All the flavors perfectly blending to give slight heat. Obsessed. (I recently had the Golden diner burger and I think this one is much much better). Thai tea cake for dessert. 10/10. Not too sweet, light texture. My friend said she wants it as her birthday cake. We inquired and indeed you can order the full cake for from them! read more

Looks like a deli from the outside, with classic diner vibes on the inside. We tried two things - the burger and wings! The burger really tasted like ka prow in burger format, I enjoyed it very much. The wings were also very flavorful with thai flavors. Though, it seemed like they were 'reheated' from earlier and flavors coated on - not made to order (? fried). That was a little disappointing. read more

After a tiring day of traveling from the West Coast, I needed nourishment. My friend had been wanting to try Little Grenjai, so that's where we went. However, the item he looked at was on their lunch menu. Their dinner menu had different items, but we were not disappointed. We started with the crispy rice salad, which I loved! I love sour flavors, so the fermented pork sausage was right up my alley. The lime dressing added spicy and citrus notes, while the peanuts, toasted coconuts, and crispy rice added a wonderful crunch. The Thai arancini ball added a different textural sensation of crispness. I just wish the dish was bigger because I could probably eat their entire stock of it. As our main, we got the fried chicken dinner. I love fried chicken, and the Thai flavors made theirs unique. My friend was allergic to one of the ingredients in the salad that comes with the chicken, so we were able to substitute it with more crispy rice salad. So that made me very happy. And I loved the tamarind dipping sauce, that added a sweet tanginess to the fried chicken. Service was excellent! The staff was very helpful in explaining their concept and menu. The space is tight and lively. We sat at the bar, but I feel like you can easily strike up a conversation with the table next to you. I would totally come back here again when I'm Bed-Stuy. read more

The food is always so fresh and tasty, burger is well cooked and full of flavor. (On the low level of spice) I recommend the burger, chips and wings! The iced coffee is delish as well. (Not all at once unless you're trying to be stuffed) Keep in mind when dining in the spot is small and gets over populated asap. Staff is incredibly quick when serving meals and very friendly! I love this spot wish the store hours were more flexible, I seem to crave food from here when they are closed mid day. read more

Little Grenjai - Burger + Thai Iced Coffee - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is charming - it's the first Asian fusion diner style restaurant I have been. They must be going for a fast casual diner experience. They either had the food already made or the staffs are just really efficient. We ordered the peek gai tod wings and the krapow smash burger. The wings came out within 2 minutes of ordering and the burger came pretty quick as well. Regardless of when the food was made, it still tasted delicious! The flavor profile was well balanced. We visited during lunch hours, I think they have a separate menu for dinner. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

Came by for lunch on a Thursday at 12:30pm. Upon entering, there's a diner-esque vibe, you order first at the register and take a number card and sit wherever you want. I got the Thai iced tea which was perfect (not too sweet) and the single krapow smash burger with fried duck egg. I feel like the burger was delicious but definitely not the number one I've had. Maybe it could've been cheesier or the sauce/chili flavor could have made more of impact. Nonetheless, good fast casual food. read more

Loved this spot! Service was very quick despite a completely full house for dinner. We got crab rangoons and drunken noodles that were flavorful and perfectly spiced but the crab fried rice was the star of the show- with chunks of crab meat and buttery yuzu sauce. Incredible meal, would love to have it again! read more

The inside gives diner vibes. You order in the front, and get a number. From there, you can seat yourself either at a table or on a barstool. The food itself was super flavorful and delicious. It does have a spicy kick but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I felt it but my tongue wasn't burning or anything. That said, if you are intolerant to spice, it might be advisable to ask them to lower the spice levels. Overall, I'd definitely come back for other things as everything looked pretty good. read more

Food packs a lot more flavor than it appears! The minced pork with rice was my favorite of the night and is a comforting, savory meal. Love the interior.

Very patient and accommodating. read more

The food is the reason to be here. Got the chance for the glorious breakfast burger after so many months missing breakfast service. A hard to book reservation finally knocked off my list. Though a small loud restaurant the air is thickly coated with warming kitchen smells and good plates being shared. Though it's my 2nd visit I would recommend the peek hai Tod wings, curry puff chaat and the delicious Hassan short ribs read more

A cozy spot with wonderful service and yummy food! We ordered the crispy rice salad, pad thai, massaman short rib and sticky rice sundae. tl;dr: Crispy rice salad - yes Massaman short rib - yes Pad Thai - no Sticky rice sundae - yes My favorite was definitely the short rib and we saw a lot of short rib orders being made that night (we sat at the counter which looks directly into the kitchen). Crispy rice salad was delicious as well. I was most looking forward to the pad Thai because it was so hyped on the website, but it wasn't my favorite. The noodle texture was a soft and sauced pad thai, but the other ingredients got lost in the noodles and sauce so you couldn't really taste or distinguish them. I felt there was only one wet/soft texture and one predominant flavor. If you're picking carbs, I'd suggest the crab fried rice instead -- we saw a lot being prepared and it looked good. The sundae was tasty and different because of the sticky rice flavor and salted peanuts -- that gave it nice varying textures and tastes. However, it was not my personal favorite but it was very good. It was tough not comparing it to Thai Diner's coconut sundae (though they're different) because I recently had it. My companion loved it. Little Grenjai's service was lovely and I'm eager to go back for the burger. read more

WOW. My husband and I were in NYC for seven days for vacation from CA- hubs lived in NY for 8 years and we were staying with friends in Bed Stuy... I work at a 2 Michelin star restaurant in NorCal and we dined at several starred restaurants in the city and we both agreed our dinner at Little Grenjai was our favorite meal of the trip! It's cute and cramped (in the best way) we had a 4 top in the corner, perfect for us. Service was prompt and friendly. Drinks came fast. I ordered multiple small plates from the menu, 2 of the specials, crab rice and the short rib for mains. Honestly I wanted to order everything. Plates came out rapid fire one after the other, and we inhaled them. Flavors and textures were complex, spicy enough for me but not too spicy for more timid palates. I'd eat here weekly if I lived in NY. Little Grenjai- open an SF spot read more

The khao soi was just fine. Quite savory, and I did like the crunchy fried noodles and pickled green toppings. However, I also found it a bit too salty and there were a few notes of burnt garlic. I feel the prices are too high - most entrees don't come with a protein, so adding a couple of tofu puffs cranked the price up to $32 with tax and tip. This is noticeably higher than most other Thai restaurants in the city, and not justifiably so. read more

Little Grenjai's Thai-styled smashburger caught my eye so came by for weekend brunch. It wasn't super busy on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. We tried the smashburger with fries, and drunken noodles with cracklin pork belly. They were out of their Thai tea so didn't get to try. The smashburger wasn't too greasy with the pickled veggies and we enjoyed the blend of pork and beef. It was missing a bit more sauce imo, could've been a creamier sauce since it wasn't too greasy. Their drunken noodles are actually pretty spicy!!! They were on the greasy side but veryyyy well flavored. The cracklin pork belly was also crispy and yummy. I would recommend trying! It's pretty unique and the flavors are authentic (def with the spiciness). read more

Came here to check out this infamous burger and let me tell y'all... I will be back for more!! That burger was so IMMENSELY marvelous! The spices on that meat and the toppings are something that has never touched my lips before! I mean.. DAMMNNN I want to tell everyone to come here and try it. Keep in mind that they are only served during lunch. They have a cute menu which I will try more items off of when I return. The fries I could've done without. Nothing to write home about with those. But that burger... mmmm mmmm good! Spot is on the smaller side. The service and staff were very helpful and attentive. Love it here. Nice little gem in the hood! Will most definitely be back!

Colorful, trendy, cramped space now housing this former takeout/delivery-only darling. The burger is genuinely unique - it tasted a lot like pad krapow in sandwich form. "Street style" pad thai had good flavor but the portion of rice noodles was disappointingly small, and just disproportionate compared to the decent portion for the $5 crispy pork belly add-on. Yes, I know that's the typical portion at a street stall in Thailand. It still feels underwhelming for a $22 dish at a gentrified Brooklyn eatery. Rice noodles barely cost anything, c'mon now. Also tried the thai tea cake - okay sponge with good thai tea flavor. Glad I tried it but a bit too out-of-the-way and pricey for the portion size for me to come back. read more

Little Grenjai - Single burger, pad thai with crispy pork - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here on a really busy Sunday, but we were the first to arrive and so we were seated immediately. They had a few outages that day, but they were able to work around it and give us other options for the dishes that we ordered. They were kind enough to make sure that we got reimbursed on the parts of the order that they could not fulfill And I will say that all the food that came out was really delicious. I especially really like the burger and the Matcha that I got. The space looks like a diner and service seems really fast and friendly, the owners are from the Neighbourhood and so they have a really good feel and vibe for the place and they also seem to welcome a lot of locals here. I definitely would recommend checking this place out. read more

Came here on the rainiest of Saturdays at 12:15pm because I knew there wouldn't be a line or a wait like usual. We lucked out, no line no wait for the only thing we came for--the SMASH BURGER. It was worth the wait and the effort of being out in this weather. It was pretty damn good. Melted cheese, spicy and you could definitely taste and smell the basil. Definitely will be back and have food in house as the burger would've been so much better if the egg wasn't cold when we got home. The menu is def a lil pricey ($20 for pad Thai with shrimp and $15 for a burger) as I have learned to accept this living in NYC. read more

The concept of this restaurant is v interesting. The inside is diner like except you have no servers/waitstaff like a reg dining place. You come in and are able to sit anywhere you like and then walk up to the counter to order and then your food is brought to you. I opted to sit at the counter facing the open kitchen (we love an open kitchen concept). I got the crab rangoon to start and then the krapow smash burger. The rangoons were tasty although there was v little crab and more cream cheese than anything else. I enjoyed the sweet chili sauce that came with it. The burger is what I really came for -- It honestly was one of the more flavorful burgers i've had in a while and that's obvi due to the thai flavors incorporated into the patty. The thai basil and chilies were a nice touch to the burger however I wish the sauce that came on there was a little more. Would I come back for the burger? Possibly. Am I interested in trying their other thai menu items? for sure. read more

What a great new little spot! The interior and decorations is 10/10 and serves was so kind and attentive. The food was overall really good but I think a couple things could have been done a bit better (I think the pork belly deco changed? It seems to be less crispy). I'd still 100% go back or give it a try if you haven't gone! Super solid Thai food and can't wait to come back and try the burger and wings! read more

This place is amazing. Awesome staff. Taking classic Thai dishes and making them really yummy without changing too much. It's not your normal turn and burn Thai place and they didn't open just to start a business, they're passionate about the food. Can be hard to get a table so reserve a day before at least for dinner. Burger is stupendous. Love their grapow and pad thai even. Their Nam Khao Tod (rice ball dish) is done really well. I've had it twice and it was presented differently both times and tasted slightly different but both were amazing. This place feels very chef driven. Nam Khao Tod is A. hard to find because it's a laborious process to make and not very profitable since it's essentially rice. B. When you can find it, it's not always done well because restaurants will find shortcuts to make the cooking process faster. I'm talking about you Night + Market in LA. Their Nam Khao Tod is disgusting and fake. Sorry. So as a Thai/Lao person who grew up eating Nam Khao Tod or just Nam being made by aunties, it always makes me so happy to eat a good version. So thanks Grenjai for killing it! Wish you continued success and I'll keep spreading the word. The chefs and staff are super nice too and will talk to you when you can. Feels like a nice neighborhood addition. My only gripe is that people will post up at the few tables they have inside for a while, even when they're done eating. I totally understand that these hipsters are enjoying themselves and it's probably their event for the evening, but yeah get to getting! Kop Jai! read more

Went for lunch. Ok the crab fried rice is absolutely where it's at!! Also loved the burger and the minced pork basil stir fry. Thai tea was refreshing. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Note: They do not accept cash. read more

decent thai, but for the most part thought the dishes were a bit restrained, lacking heat or flavor. the wedge salad was our favorite thing - the pork served it was delicious, fatty and crispy. the crispy rice salad was solid, but thought it could've had more citrus. crab rangoons were a crowd pleaser. the nam tok was not at all spicy and lacked caramelized fish sauce flavor, the pad thai was pretty bland, the papaya salad had no spice either. the fried chicken was decent, as was the crab fried rice. the place is small and gets busy - we had to wait about 90 minutes on a weekday for a 4 top read more

Overall rating: 4.5 I saw this place on TikTok and wanted to give it a try. I went on a date and it wasn't too hard to get a reservation. The staff was very friendly but it is a small spot. I like how kitschy it seems. We had an early dinner and had the following: - Peek Gai Tod Wings 5/5: soo good - Khan Soi Duck 4/5: tasty but not the most amazing dish - Pad Thai pork belly: 3/5 I wanted this to be so good but I thought it was just okay. I do have a high standard for pad Thai bc I've been to Asia before. But idk. Something was missing here. I def want to go back and try some of the curries. Recommend giving it a try! read more

I was excited to try this place because I've been following them online and waiting for them to open. The inside is cramped; I believe it's a converted Chinese takeout spot and it can get uncomfortably crowded very fast. You have to order at the register and then they bring your food to you. I ordered the burger, which is what they're known for, with a side of fries and my partner had the drunken noodles. I thought the burger was OK; I expected it to have a spicy kick and to be favorable but it was missing both of those things. I had them add the Thai fried egg on top, which was fine. The only interesting part of the meal was the fries. They make them like the Lay's ruffled potato chips; they're crispy around the edges but soft in the middle. Very cool. The prices here are OK. read more

This place is very small and gets packed quickly, yet I really like the setup. I highly recommend finding seating first if you decide to dine in, bc seats will go very quickly. After you sit and choose your food selection, make sure you save your seat then get up to order. Then just sit back and wait for the goodies to arrive. The staff was super sweet and handled the crowd well. I appreciated their calm demeanor amidst the crazy, but they are used to it I'm sure. We split the burger and the wings and they were tasty. Next time I'd like to try the pad Thai the pork belly and a few other options but overall. Little Grenjai is definitely a must try. It gets busy tho so be prepared lol. read more

I've now been for dinner twice and lunch once. The lunch burger is incredible! Jockeying for a seat during lunch was very stressful. You order at the counter and seats are first come first serve. There is not much seating. Dinner is easier -- just make a reservation. The service is always top notch and all the dishes I have ordered are always incredible. Great natural wine. The decor is cute -- not formal. read more

Welcome Little Grenjai to the neighborhood. The space is brightly lit with lots of daylight, with a modern retro interior, with diner style tables and seats. Staff is friendly but the layout is a little awkward due to the counter service ordering from the coffee bar instead of the front counter, so cramped lines form inbetween tables. Their Krapow Smashburger is a fantastic take on a smashburger by adding a flair of thai flavors throughout. Chili infused beef patty, american cheese, pickled vegetables (incl. carrots, peppers, and cauliflower!), thai holy basil, and a shrimp-based sauce. This burger is unlike any other burger and tastes like it came right from the streets of Thailand. Peek Gai Tod fried chicken is good with a great blend of seasoning and marinade. The exterior was nice and crispy with the chicken still tender, albeit slightly oiley. The burgers came out first whereas I had to ask about the chicken since I wasn't sure if it was forgotten about or not. Strange to have the apps come after the mains but since they're brand new they're likely just trying to find the right pacing in the kitchen. Knock on the menu variety and pricing. The small yet wide variety of dishes seems like it would overwhelm the kitchen and some items are way overpriced (ie. congee is $14 with pork being a $4 add-on). They have a wide variety of beer and wine being served but no coffees or teas despite there being an espresso machine at the coffee bar? Would love to come back for dinner service or their monthly Tender Bits pop-up as it looks like an awesome experience. read more
