Came for lunch (we were a large group so I made a reservation in advance) during the week and had a nice meal. Some dishes were better than others and the portion size varied (not ordering off the lunch menu), but the service was quick and friendly and we did not have to wait long for the food to come out. The space isn't large, but isn't small either, they probably having seating for about 25 people. We ordered the khao soi and hung lay to share (both a northern Thai specialty you can't find in most places). The khao soi was mediocre, I wanted it to have more flavor, specifically thicker, richer curry. I have had much better khao soi at other places and would not recommend coming here for it. The hung lay on the other hand was very good (I thought it usually comes with peanuts but this one didn't), my only complaint was the portion size as it came in a small bowl with a small side of sticky rice. I would eat it again, just wish it was a bigger serving. The prices are reasonable and others in our group enjoyed the dishes they ordered.
I have officially found the best thai food in the world. Popped in for lunch on a weekday and it was so cozy. Only a few folks in, all appeared to be regulars based on the way they were talking. You can certainly tell this is a community hot bed. The workers were awesome. Kept my water full, a smile on my face, and my food hot. Vibes are cozy, and the food is spicy. They have some crazy solid consumer friendly lunch specials.
Ordered delivery for dinner one night - Tom yum soup, Gang massaman and Pad see ew with chicken. The pad see ew was the best of the three, though it was a little salty. Overall I thought the food was solid, if nothing special. Will stick to Tuk Tuk and Entaice for delivery in my area. 3.5 stars.
I'm rarely in Greenpoint, so I took an opportunity to try a restaurant while I was there, and picked from a couple of Thai places near where I was, so that's how I ended up here. I use Pad Thai as my measuring stick for judging how much I like a Thai place, and the Pad Thai here was good - not the best, but good. The flavors could have been a little stronger but it was otherwise a nice dinner. I appreciate that the tofu was steamed/not fried and that there was a generous amount of crushed peanuts. Very friendly and attentive staff. They weren't too busy yet when I was there since I came in right after they opened in a weeknight, but they were on top of filling up my water glass, checking if I wanted a box to take home my leftovers, and when I wanted the check - al with a courteous smile.
I love revisiting favorite restaurants and Little Tiffin is one of my faves when I'm in Greenpoint. As I've stated in previous review, Little Tiffin means a light midday meal. It's impossible to have a light meal here because everything tastes and looks delicious. First, the ambience is soothing and when I walk in, I feel like I'm in the owner's house. There is a cozy rustic feel to it and the bar is a great place to sit on a rainy day. The chairs are multicolored wood alongside wooden tables. Then there is pretty pottery and plants adorning the walls. Second, the menu from 12-4pm offers Lunch Specials: entree plus appetizer, choice of broth or Thai salad. Today I ordered my usual, Pad se Ew with chicken and Thai salad, and of course, I ordered their delicious Thai iced tea. Consistently delicious! Next time I am going to try other options judging from the Yelp reviews, the dumplings are scrumptious. Lastly, today I met the owner who happened to service me. I didn't know at first and I told her how much I loved this place! Her name is Monurai Bhakdina. She is a lovely person and should be proud of her restaurant! Khob Khun Ka to the entire Little Tiffin team! ( Thank you in Thai)
Decent but not fantastic! I came here with my fiance and tried a variety of dishes. We had the papaya salad, fried calamari, morning glory, pad kee mao and Thai coffee/tea. The food was okay but nothing was fantastic. The Thai food scene has really exploded with phenomenal options in NYC, so I sadly can't see myself coming back. Additionally, my fiance had an intense stomach ache after the meal. 3/5, not bad but not great
Amazing Thai place and great service in Greenpoint, Brooklyn! Very lively it was a Friday night we walked in around 8pm. It was packed but they soon after take us to the bar counter which was even better that all the noise you can behind it and lovely bartender :) all the food was amazing, the Basil Fried Rice you must to try and feel the Thailand!
I came to this place for the first time as suggested by a friend who's Thai. I arrived first and they still sat me without my entire party which was surprising because the dinner rush was already in full swing. The ambiance is so cozy and precious, love the woodsy feel and retro yet modern vibe. The ceiling was really high too, or maybe just made it appear that way from the decor on the sides. Our server Gigi was friendly and attentive, was helpful answering any questions, we were particularly looking for her recommendations prior to us ordering. An observation I noticed was that all the staff members assist in making sure your water is filled to the tip top of your glass, everyone helps run food to the tables etc. Impressive teamwork! What we ordered: Apps: Khanom Jeeb Pak (veg dumplings) Tom Kha (soup) Entrees: Yum Pak Boong Grob (crispy morning glory salad) Kua Gling (string beans in Thai paste) I met the sweet, small and mighty owner, Moni! She's a burst of energy and so hospitable. Thanks so much, I plan to come back to try lunch!
This place was such a vibe. I didn't make reservations but did a walk in for bar. I got the Khao Soi Gai. The chicken was so tender and the noodles were perfect. The soup was amazing and flavorful. With the addition of fried noodles on the side hit the spot. Also got myself a thai iced tea. Would recommend coming back here!
I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews on yelp! It is the best thai food I've had in nyc so far. I came here with my friend who recommended this place and we shared everything. I highly recommend their fried tofu, roast duck red curry and pad thai. They also have tasty cocktails.
I'll start by saying I don't really like Thai food. I don't like the smell of fish sauce, and I usually find the noodles too thick. But my foodie wife loves this place, and another couple wanted to try it, so we met there. My wife says their soup is the best in the area, a perfect blend of sweet and sour. I'm on a diet, but the mango sticky rice looked amazing. They're getting five stars because I love the ambiance: cozy, with space for our stroller, upbeat Thai music from the 70s, and interesting photographs from Thailand on the walls. Our server even took our picture twice. So even though I don't like Thai food, this was a very pleasant experience, and if you do like Thai food, it will probably be even better.
Delicious and affordable spot in Greenpoint with friendly and efficient service! Highly recommend sharing a variety of plates with friends; my group of four shared the khanom jeeb, pad see ew with beef, massaman curry with shrimp, bamee puu, khao mok gai (chicken biryani), sticky rice with custard, and thai tea tart (+ a bottle of sake). It's hard to pick a favorite because everything was so delicious! Great service was icing on the cake. I'll be back to Little Tiffin :)
My husband and I discovered this restaurant while out bike riding one day in Greenpoint. Ever since then we love coming back. We sat twice outdoors during the summer time and once indoor during the fall. They're always busy so I recommend checking with the restaurant. The restaurant is cozy and intimate with dimmed lighting. I love tne bathroom decor.. it's filled with vintage photos and makes it enjoyable to stare at while you wash your hands. We tried several dishes on the menu but our must haves whenever we come are the Crab Fried Rice and Beef Pad See Ew. Then we usually add in 1 or 2 more appetizers to complete our me. Dishes are plentiful and always fill us up. Can't wait to dine in again!

Love this low key spot in Greenpoint! Stumbled upon this on a cold Saturday night and it satisfied my Thai craving perfectly. Food was all delicious - no notes. Split the papaya salad, pad see ew and massaman curry. Good amount of food for 3 people, but depending on how hungry you are - you could throw in one more app. My favorite thing about this place is the authentic old school Thai decor everywhere!! The walls are covered with decor and it's so cute & fun. Very eclectic. The bathroom was also playing Thai music. Felt transported to Thailand. Wait staff was also very friendly & food came out quick! read more
Cute, cozy spot in Greenpoint. Service was very friendly, warm, and efficient. The food was solid and had some high points, but was overall just "okay." Here's what we had: Drinks: two of us had the mango signature cocktail. Really delicious flavor and nicely presented. Apps: chicken dumplings and chicken skewers. Portions were fairly small, though had good flavor. For example, the skewers were each fairly thin cuts of chicken, but did deliver on the promised lemongrass and turmeric flavors Main: I got the crab curry and was warned by the staff that it would be spicy and was not changeable. I'm okay with that. It was indeed spicy, but had good flavor and solid pieces of crab in the sauce. The ratio of curry to noodles to extras felt a little off, though looked beautiful when presented. My table also got the pad kee mao and another curry; I didn't try them but they looked good and my friends enjoyed their meals. Desserts: Thai tea tart - really nice crust and whipped cream - and the Thai coconut pudding, which was the star of the show for me. Very unexpected and delicious! Small portion, but the coconut pudding was a really satisfying way to end the meal All in all, a nice night out in a cozy spot near the G train. There are other Thai restaurants with larger portions and excellent flavors elsewhere in NYC or even just across the bridge into LIC, but enjoyed the standout moments of the meal (the cocktail, the dessert) and the service for when you want to dine in somewhere. read more

I never write reviews but this was probably the best Thai I've ever had! I got it to go but everyone there was super friendly and the inside was cute. Definitely will be dining in soon. Delicious Thai iced tea and the Gang Keaw Wan was the perfect amount of spicy read more

One of my favorite lunch specials in Greenpoint, and my go-to Thai spot in the neighborhood! I've been here a handful of times and this was my first time trying the green curry. My friend got the red curry, which he reported was fantastic. The green curry was deliciously spicy (the eggplant is an excellent touch) and the vegetable broth appetizer was so wonderfully flavorful -- love the heavy use of ginger! Overall, this place has great dishes with ample portion size (their pad Thai and fried rice are both fantastic as well), lightning-fast service, and a lovely ambiance that I've never experienced at night but I'd imagine would make for a great date spot. Highly recommend! read more

If you're looking for an authentic taste of Thailand, this is the spot. Every bite reminded me of the freshness and flavors when I was eating in Thailand and I haven't had that in awhile! The appetizers were amazing. I'd get both the tofu and fried dumplings again. The sauces they were paired with were perfectly fitting too. We decided to try something new other than pad thai or fried rice so we got the BAMEE PUU, which was very good. Not spicy. There were large clumps of crab and a really good broth on the side. They also have both Leo and Singha Thai beers! The ambiance is very nice, it's small and very vibey inside. The service was very fast, somewhat to a fault. Which is the only reason I took off 1-star. We were at promptly and not told there was a reservation coming after, so right after we finished our food - but still had full drinks we were Super rushed out of our table which was unfortunate/inconvenient. So, we had to stand by the bar til someone got up (it's pretty small, only 6 chairs up there). Otherwise, it was very good and because of that experience I would recommend making a reservation , which I hope would allow you to sit at your table longer til you finish all your food and drinks... read more
Little tiffin is a cute little Thai restaurant, this place can get packed really quickly, however we were able to score some seats at the bar! The employees were friendly and answered our questions. The bartender was pretty friendly as well, he made us our drinks as soon as we placed our orders. My husband ended up getting some kind of noodle dish and I ended up getting the chicken pad Thai. The food was good, the place was cute and staff members were so friendly! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! read more

Super cute Thai place in the same place where there's been so many other iterations of a Thai restaurant over the last two decades. They do usual lunch options, the ambiance is nice, the staff is very accommodating, but unless I work in the neighborhood, I probably won't be back. read more

Cozy Thai joint with reasonable prices! The pad Thai was enough for two meals for me and it reheats well. We came at peak dinner time on a Saturday and had no problem getting a table. Service was super quick and the food came out in record time! read more

Cute little Thai spot that serves great food. We came on a Friday night and wait for about 40 minutes. We ordered the KHAO SOI GAI (Chiang Mai style curry with egg noodles, chicken drumsticks, coconut milk, pickled mustard greens, lime, shallots and crispy egg noodle), BEEF PAD SEE EW (Flat rice noodle stir fried with eggs, garlic, Chinese broccoli and sweet soy sauce), THAI ICE TEA and LYCHEE SODA BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER. read more

An authentic Thai restaurant in Brooklyn? Yes please! This intimate place offers family recipes from Thailand, plentiful portions, and balanced spice-taste ratios. The bathroom is cool too, with photos and ads from Thailand in the 1970's. Quirky, cool, and authentic! read more
Very yummy and fresh tasting home cooked Thai food in a sweet atmosphere with great music playing. I was boring and had the Thai fried rice with chicken but it was just what I wanted. My friends and I shared the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was wonderful. The three of us ate our plates clean. Staff was super friendly and all had masks on. Went at 7pm on a Thursday and didn't have any trouble getting seated inside. There's also outside seating next to a beautiful mural. The vibe is definitely casual in a good way. Just super charming vibes. I saw lots of people coming in to get takeout so it seems like this is a popular takeout spot. read more
I love trying out new Thai places I have not been. I went to little tiffin today and it is such a cute spot in greenpoint. To start off we ordered the Thai iced tea which was super tasty. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and that I could actually taste the tea. Lots of Thai places make it way too sweet for my liking. Also, we ordered the green curry and pad Thai. I'm not a pad Thai expert so I can't say if it was really good, but it was tasty. The curry to me was slightly lacking in flavor. It was on the spicer side and marked spicy on the menu if you are not a fan of spice. However, I liked the spice level it was at. Overall I liked it. I would go back and try the pad see ew because that's typically my go to order! read more

My mom loves to eat dinner at home every night, so for her birthday, I like taking her out for Thai food since she's a big fan of their papaya salad and it's not a cuisine she cooks at home. Came across this spot on Google, and was excited to give them a shot. The place was listed as 'casual' which was perfect for us since we have a 4 year old and 10 month old, and didn't want anything fancy, or where we'd feel out of place. Walked in and we were seated right away in a tight corner. The waitress/hostesses were friendly enough, and we proceeded to check our the menus. My older daughter (4) was intrigued by some decorative string of lights (cheap hanging lights around the window) and committed the terrible crime of touching them. This guy (white guy, tattoos, owner maybe?) rushed over to scold her in a way you'd think she was touching some sort of sacred artifact not to be marred by human hands, let alone a --gasp-- a CHILD! It was a complete over reaction, and left me pretty pissed. Listen, kids are annoying, I'm the first one to say it, but she literally reached out to touch a shiny colorful string of lights, and you rudely rushed over to yell at her, which was quite an overreaction. I'm mindful to not go to places that are not suitable for children, or go out late to avoid dates and interrupting adult diners, but it was 7 pm, dude. Despite that dumb reaction from that guy, the food was decent. The star of the dinner was some side ginger broth that I will try and replicate at home. My mom, the birthday girl LOVED her dish (Shrimp clay pot thing, which was recommended by our waitress. Overall, we all enjoyed our food, nothing spectacular, but tasty. After the string of lights debacle, as a mom, I was so uncomfortable thinking my kids were annoying this guy, and every peep my 10 month old made, I felt like I had his wrathful eyes on me. My girls are incredibly well behaved, and my 4 yr old sat quietly and didn't even go near the lights after he scolded her. But alas, he ruined the night. I couldn't get out of there soon enough, and forfeited dessert (even though I really wanted to try the lime dessert) because I just felt uncomfortable. So, TLDR. Food OK, may have even gone back if it wasn't for the child hating white guy with tats. Just avoid if you have kids. But maybe go in for a bowl of their ginger broth. read more

Tried Thai food for the first time and it was here. I don't want to try it anywhere else! Greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately! Small restaurant but warm, cozy, and has an authentic feel! Favorite thing to order is the Pad See Ew and a good ol' Thai iced tea! read more
