    Basil instead of ground chicken they put dry chicken pieces
    Gabriela M.

    Wanted to like this place, but during my second time ordering from them I found out that they do not honor their bogo specials they have posted on ubereats. Despite trying to speak with them over the phone about the promotion, they refused to honor the bogo special posted online. Additionally they got my order completely wrong and gave me shrimp wontons instead of chicken--I'm cannot eat shrimp and the basil was also incorrect because instead of ground chicken they put dry chicken pieces. I would have chosen a different food option had they told me they were not going to honor the buy one get one free special. I think this is really poor customer service to refuse to honor a promotion they listed despite my calling them and ubereats calling them, even though they had not yet finished preparing my order. This is the last time I will be ordering from this restaurant.

    Basil Fried Rice with shrimp
    Chris A.

    After a local favorite Thai spot shut down and relocated to Queens, my coworkers, and I have been on a quest to find our new favorite spot. We tried a couple locations in the neighborhood, but ultimately found this place to be all around quite good. The food was yummy and left us feeling full. I got a basil fried rice with shrimp with a side of vegetable dumplings that I enjoyed. My only feedback would be that I am really not a shrimp tail on kind of person (personal preference). I would actually try to go eat at this place in person to see how the vegetable dumplings would taste if they were fresh, as they were a little gooey and stuck to the delivery tinfoil. My other piece of feedback is that they could inspect the the labels are right on their food because me calling and I almost ate each other's food by accident because they miss labeled it. Overall really happy we found a spot - it's our lunchtime favorite!

    Red curry with chicken
    Laina F.

    Such a cute Thai restaurant with cozy interiors and lovely workers. The red curry never disappoints and food is always fresh and yummy! Servers are always so friendly and I love coming here. It is a hidden gem and if you're in the area definitely go visit :)

    This is an excellent restaurant to go to for Thai cuisine. We went after watching a Broadway show…read more And made reservations for 4 people for 9pm. We were seated promptly , then given our customary beverage orders (Thai iced tea, of course). And while mulling over the menu with excellent choices , our server Salina suggested certain items for dinner. Her recommendations were spot on. We tried the papaya salad, soft shell crab, deboned duck, crispy pork with noodles. And the crispy branzino... everything was devoured quickly!! The dishes were full of flavor, but some were lacking in spiciness(our request really since we had a friend who could not tolerate spices). The post-meal dessert was very good as well. We had a wonderful time dining, and the service was top-notch. Thanks, Salina...!!!

But the employees were everywhere and they look to be working in unison with each other. It almost felt like a fine dining restaurant without quite the price tag. I would strongly recommend you make a reservation. The tables are not that big so you might want to think about ordering too much food. You only get 90 minutes to dine, but our server was a little generous with that time limit as there wasn't any one waiting when we left. All of the dishes we ordered was good in it's own right. The pork belly fried rice had a hint of sweetness to it. I think it might be tamarind or something. But I could totally be off based. The crispy bits of pork belly added a nice texture. It's nothing like I've ever had before. The short ribs was fantastic. Full of flavor and fall of the bones tender. The papaya salad is something that was very familiar to all of the others I've had. Very comforting. Overall, I would definitely come back here and receiving great service on top of the great tasting food was all I could have asked for.

They had a very respectable pad see ew beef - sweet and savory, good amount of egg, a little stronger bitter broccoli but otherwise a good dish, good quantity to fill you up even though in the bowl it seemed smaller than it actually was with the rice noodle cooked well. The steamed sea bass with garlic and lime (Pla Neueng Manow) had beautifully cooked sea bass with a very nice spicy/sour/savory green garlic sauce which I'll have to try again. The fried version is supposedly very good, too, and the one person that always gets the basil fried rice had a wonderful aroma that we'll have to try again later. Mango sticky rice was a tasty dessert (although we probably didn't need the 3 orders they recommended for our table of 6), though usually like I like the purple rice version better, and came with a very cute shovel spoon. They gave a free birthday dessert of caramel delight which was ok, crumbly and sweet (I'm not a caramel fan but others liked it). Overall, good experience and solid food - while not the best Thai I've ever had, this certainly is a keeper for the Midtown East area. Will come again soon to try the lunch specials! Service was a little slow due to how busy they were, but do appreciate the birthday candle for the birthday friend!

A quick ride on the LIRR or E Train will have you enjoying some of the best Thai food NYC has to offer. For me it all started with their Shrimp Croquettes that were fried to perfection and packed with flavor, then it was the Crispy Pork Belly, and for a second, I had to ask myself, am I in the Dominican Republic?! The crunch, seasoning, and flavor in every bite let me know immediately that they understood the crispy pork belly assignment! Let's not forget the cocktails! Each drink paired beautifully with the appetizers and dishes throughout our dining experience. Now, let's talk about the entrées. Their menu ranges from specialty seafood dishes to authentic, modern Thai cuisine. As a seafood lover, I especially appreciated the generous amount of Lump Crab meat in the Southern Crab Curry. The flavor was rich, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. But the unexpected STAR of the night was the #TaroCustard! Who knew that the "everything bagel energy" could transfer so effortlessly into a dessert?! It was those crispy fried shallots that did it for me! If you're a true #Foodie, you already know sometimes it's that unexpected flavor assist/combination that creates pure magic on your tongue. I've had some great Thai Food Experiences in NYC but Charoen Krung Restaurant & Bar has now entered the chat as my new found favorite!

Of course, we opted to try things that were out of the "norm". We started with the Khun Pan Pld Fashioned (which is old fashion with a Thai tea twist), of course, Thai iced tea, soft shell crab larb (omg so mouth watering) and the Pla Muk Tod (Fried Tumeric Coconut Calamari). These were new on the summer menu and I hope they stay! The dipping sauce in the calamari was sweet, tangy and syrupy with some heat but not too sweet. It was good without the sauce but with it, made it even better. The soft shell crab larb, wow, blew us away. The crunch and heat factor with the basil "salad" was out of this world. It is definitely spicy but is soo tasty. From their "privileged" menu, we had the duck chu chee which is a crispy roasted duck in a creamy mildly spicy red curry - the duck and curry was soo bomb, super crispy and stands out from other places. Finally the Royal Thai Spiced Lamb which is grilled lamb chops with karee curry sauce, snow pea tips and roti, sooo flavorful and so good. The veggies and the lamb paired so well with the curry sauce. It was not gamey or chewy but after all the appetizers I could not finish this dish. For dessert, we did try the Khao Neaw Puak which is a taro sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Again different but I think I will pass on this next time. We loved the food and will definitely be back!

We ordered two with shrimp and one chicken: the shrimp was a little overcooked but super flavorful. If it had something with a crunch - peanuts or otherwise - it would have been 5/5 for me. Thai Fried Rice (3/5) was just ok. Chilean Sea Bass (5/5) was cooked to perfection and it was the best tasting dish on the table, and it was the most beautiful dish.

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)

My friend ordered the pork chop for his entree and it came with two large chops. Good to take back as leftovers.
