MISC Thai is such an awesome lunch spot. Their specials are a great deal, affordable and you get really solid portions. The pad Thai and curries are both amazing, packed with flavor and consistently done well. The peanut dumplings are a standout, unique and incredibly flavorful. Definitely not something you find everywhere. If you're looking for a go-to Thai lunch spot that hits on both quality and value, this is it.
Solid Thai spot right at the borderline of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. Relatively spacious interior with a decorated front of the house and cozy back room. Extensive menu with plenty of noodle, rice, curry, and all other in-between Thai options! What we got: - Rock Shrimp (app): Perfect shareable dish between 2 people! The sauce is a bit sweet, but it goes well. Overall, tasty! - Duck Roti Wraps (app): Another great starter! I really liked the sweet sauce that was drizzled on the plate, yum! - Fried Rice with Crispy Pork (entree): Classic Thai dish that was very good! Prob my FAVE of the things we got! Slight spice, but very tolerable and it doesn't take away from the great flavor! - Pad Thai with Cod (entree): This one was a bit of a miss for me. The noodles were a bit sweeter than I'd like and I would've loved if they added egg and bean sprouts to the noodles to dress it up a bit more. My least favorite dish, but huge portion size! Overall, we enjoyed our time at Misc! Staff were friendly and very attentive as well. Next time I return, I'd love to sit at the front of the house for a brighter, livelier space!
Reservation recommend. 90 minutes dining period. Strict will not seat you till all of your party arrives policy. Our experience here was excellent. Having not made a table reservation (we had just been walking by and decided on this place) they accommodated us. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was fantastic. Fresh ingredients, very flavorful and they can adjust spicy heat levels according to your preference. The menu is like a magazine, full of photos for those who like visual aspects. Its a busy restaurant, small in the front and they have an additional space in the back . The place was packed and if you managed to look around you'll see everyone enjoying the food. It's bustling with take out orders, delivery guys, waitstaff checking on guests. This place is doing it right. The drinks we had were also very delicious. A good variety of cocktails and you can order mocktails to go (no alcoholic drinks to go). We had the Spicy Thai Basil with triple fried duck. Of course I ordered the spicest level. Yes it satisfied my craving. Also enjoyed the pork Belly with basil fried rice. My daughter ordered the lava fish - sweet chillie sauce , she loved it. Personally sweet for my liking but thats because I like spicy more. The fish was delectable and tender. The sirracha wings were equally fantastic. There is a good variety of dishes and vegetarian options. I've already ordered take out twice since my first visit. I'll shamelessly be a regular here.
This place is definitely top 5 on my Thai list. Located in crown heights I stopped in on a Saturday evening, no wait straight to a table. Great customer service. The drinks are so delicious and refreshing I had the lychee martini so well made. For starters I tried the crispy chicken stirring rolls, and the calamari 10/10 the dipping sauce paired with was so tasty. I had the crispy pork over Basil fried rice spicy. Yum yum and yum, large portion great taste, my cousin had the fried whole branzino it was so nice and crispy tender on the inside fresh vegetables. Cute ambiance great for a date night, birthday dinner, groups. Highly recommend
The drunken noodles were so good with just enough spice to really bring it to life! big fan of the green beans in it, still a little crunchh but didn't mind it for more texture! We got the Mama J'0 dish and my friend said it was the best tom yum he has had so far! The shrimp were cooked really nice and the pork belly was a great addition too. The moscow mule came in the cutest mug with an elephant trunk as the cup handle! really loved their non alcooholic drink Ginger Tamarind. It was bursting with flavor and I even ate the candidaed ginger that it came with!! The drink menu has a lot of options and is very nice looking too. The Itim Boran has a lot of coconut flavor too it and the scoops of ice cream in the cup were big scoops. The sticky rice at the bottom was great for a textural contrast but also provided a bit of a saltiness to pair with the sweetness. It had some crunchy peanuts on top too that went well with it. This place is around a lot of other food options and not foo far from the trains so it is pretty easy to get to. Very cute inside in the front and surprised to find there's a back room down the hall too. The service was ok, nice people but maybe because we were im the back they didn't check on us as much or refill waters too often etc. All of the ither tables in the back were full too so maybe they were just busy. Would recommend a group of 2-4 to come here but if a bigger party then let them know ahead of time.
The food here is always good and comes out super fast. The duck in the pond is always good, but this time I got Mama Jo's special, which was kind of like pho but with a bunch of different proteins in it which was cool. The service is always good, and the servers are nice and attentive. It's super clean and cozy inside, pretty small but that's the neighborhood
If you've got a big appetite, MISC serves the largest Pad Thai I've ever seen in NYC, loaded with triple-cooked duck. When it hit the table, not only were we in awe, but so were the tables around us. It could easily feed a small village! And here came the dessert--the sticky rice dessert got TWO generous scoops of coconut ice cream!? The restaurant is small and cozy, with a dining area in the back that feels more intimate. It's clearly a neighborhood favorite, as it filled up quickly during the dinner rush. ＊Franklin Wings $13.95 I ate five fried wings all by myself. It was impossible to stop eating. Glazed in a sticky, caramelized peanut sesame sauce, they were incredibly tender, juicy, and SPICY. ＊Duck Roti Wraps $12.95 Each wrap was filled with duck, veggies, cucumbers, wrapped in toasted warm roti. They were saucy and savory, though on the pricey side for just two wraps. ＊Pad Thai with Triple Cooked Duck $30.95 If you have a normal appetite, this pad thai can easily stretch into two or three meals. They definitely didn't hold back on the duck. The generous pieces completely covered the dish on a large plate. The duck was tender with a slight crisp on the skin. I also loved the flavor and texture of the noodle itself. ＊Emerald Green Curry with Chicken $17.95 It might not have looked as insta-worthy as the other dishes, but my bf devoured the entire green curry in seconds. The thick, spicy and rich curry sauce was a literal "rice thief". Coconut Sticky Rice $12.95 You can choose between coconut or green tea ice cream. The coconut flavor was quite mild imo. The sticky rice was served warm, with steam still rising from the cup (dig in before the ice cream melts!!). The contrast between the hot rice and cold ice cream was very enjoyable. We also got Lychee Thai Tea ($7.95) and Purple Lemonade ($9). Just a note that their drinks are on the sweeter side, and sugar level is fixed.
This is such a hidden gem! The space is beautiful, the front feels moody and intimate with deep blue walls, while the back is bright and fun with a pink floral wall and deep green chairs. Perfect for both date night and cute hangs with friends! I'm a huge duck lover, and MISC did not disappoint. The Duck Roti Wraps were crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The roti added the perfect buttery crunch to the tender duck. The Triple-Cooked Duck Pad Thai was a must-order. The richness of the duck paired beautifully with the slightly chewy noodles. Here's everything we ordered: * Duck Roti Wraps * Chicken Puff - another of my fav * Papaya Salad * Triple-Cooked Duck Pad Thai * Mango Sticky Rice - my fav Thai dessert * Cocktails: Just a Minute + Purple Love Every dish was flavorful and well-balanced, and the cocktails were refreshing, pretty, and fun.
MISC Thai in Brooklyn totally blew me away. Everything we had was packed with flavor and just so well done. You can tell the chefs put a lot of love and creativity into the food--it's not your average Thai spot. The Supreme Ribs were super tender with this amazing char and a really tasty BBQ sauce. The Papaya Salad had the perfect mix of spicy, sweet, and tangy--so refreshing. I'm still thinking about the Khao Soi--those chicken wings in the curry sauce with noodles and crispy wonton on top? Unreal. And the Massaman Curry with Duck was next-level. The duck was perfectly cooked and the combo of coconut, avocado, and curry spices was so good. The space is cute and cozy, and the staff was super friendly. Also, they have a great lunch special during the week--I'll definitely be back for that. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
This food was SO. GOOD. I was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and we stopped by Misc for an early dinner. My friend ordered the curry and I got the pad Thai. The indoor seating is cute, and there is outdoor seating, as well. The bar is nice, and all the employees are very sweet. The menu is large and has a large font size; very easy to read. A bunch of dishes have pictures on the menu, as well. The pad Thai was delicious and has yummy veggies like squash and snow peas. It was so tasty! The curry my friend ordered was also flavorful and amazing. I'd definitely be open to ordering it next! The restaurant is on Franklin Street, very close to the subway. I highly recommend!
So, here's the thing, the space is small and you'll be sitting closely to others. But, I personally feel that's part of the charm. The cozy, bustling vibe truly makes it feel like a true hidden gem. And the best part? The food holds its own against some of the top Thai restaurants in NYC. The food is bursting with flavor and the portion size is generous. Every dish I tried was amazing (check out the pics!), and the drinks were just as impressive. MISC is an absolute standout!
I will say the food was pretty decent, and I definitely think this place has a great happy hour special. However, I ordered the lychee mojito pitcher, and it was absolutely disgusting--I couldn't even drink it. It tasted like straight simple syrup. As for the food, I got the lava wings, which were pretty decent. Update after owner response: I was a bit surprised to see the owner respond to my review, especially since I noticed they don't seem to reply to others. Unfortunately, the tone of the response came across as defensive rather than constructive. Phrases like "you had every opportunity to mention it during your visit" and "you are not obligated to return" felt dismissive and unprofessional. As a customer, I think it would have been more appropriate to acknowledge the feedback and offer a more gracious response like: "We're sorry to hear the pitcher wasn't to your liking. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve." Customer experience doesn't end when the check is paid--it's also about how feedback is received and addressed.
Great food, kind service. A great Thai spot if you're a local in the area, although if you're like me commuting from Queens I can't quite tell you the food here is worth dropping what you're doing to make the trek. The entree portions here are HUGE which is a plus! And they have SOO many options. I liked the fried fish protein option, which I ordered with my pad thai. Quite good. It came with 2 types of dipping sauce for the fish - a soy sauce-based one and a sweet chili. I can only speak for the pad thai, but the fish isn't seasoned the same as the pad thai noodles, and meant to be eaten with the side sauces.

I love misc! The pho broth is one of my all time faves, really hits the spot everytime. Service was great. Minus one star because the beef they use for the pho has really gone down in quality and is often hit or miss. Going forward I'm gonna be buying just the broth cause it's spectacular read more

We had an early dinner here. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, my friend had the basil stir fry with tiger prawn. We also ordered the lychee mocktails and the sticky rice with mango dessert. Everything was delicious. They are very strict here with the rules though, on the menu it states that they don't do any exchanges and that food items are final sale, meaning if you get something that you don't like and return it, you still have to pay for it. The waiter, Sean, was really nice, but there was another guy that had blush on his nose, that was a bit rude and not patient when we asked about the menu. The place is decorated nicely and the ambiance is nice. read more

Went on a date last night I never tried it. The food always smells good while passing by.. it is very small, but nice ambience & full bar. appetizers, we got the calamari fritters it was pretty good. It was whole calamari rings fried a fritter extremely crispy and delicious with two sauces that were provided. course I got salmon and for my protein and the fried rice was delicious the date got the Tiger shrimp with rice and stirfry vegetables. Omg the sauce was so hot and spicy but delicious. I want to try this place to try all dishes the food is fresh tasty & quickly made. For the drinks I opted for tequila. Sunrise was a delicious my date got a Mojito. He didn't like it and returned it for an old-fashioned and at the end I got a lychee martini which the waiter advised! Definitely returning read more

MISC is catering to " miscellaneous " tastes thus any hungry patron can find something here to satisfy one's palate. I was trying to satisfy my craving for Thai food on my way to Brooklyn Botanic Garden thus MISC was the right choice due to proximity or so I thought... I'm also on the search for nicely priced lunch specials and knew MISC didn't offer any which to me sounded off. There are a wealth of restaurants along Franklin Avenue that offer this but I was focused on BBG nearness thus there was a trade off. I entered around 12:45 and there were no other patrons thus I had the pick of the land in this cozy atmosphere. I was served water and asked for lime but waitress served lemons."Is that ok"? How do I answer.. a Thai food eatery has limes.. I wanted just an appetizer and salad. I decided on the Crispy Vietnamese rolls but questioned the spiciness of the lime dressing on the Som Tum salad. The waitress replied "it's not spicy" but to be safe I asked for mild. The rolls came out and I let them cool a bit then cut one open to see ingredients: Vietnamese minced chicken , rice vermicelli in a wheat flour paper as noted on menu. I saw minced chicken and a green leaf, spinach? They tasted fine once they cooled off and the sweet chili sauce was good. As I'm eating the rolls, my salad was served. I had to ask for chopsticks which were brought to me. Seriously, Thai eateries serve chopsticks or at least ask diner if she prefers them to utensils. I've learned that Som Tum means a mortar and pestle is used to pound ingredients as the crushed peanuts in the salad were certainly crushed. The salad presentation was nice but I was deceived. My salad was drowning in the lime dressing due to the " generous" two pieces of lettuce that were not enough. Additionally, the dressing saturated the avocado and everything else. Hmmm my chopsticks really needed to be a spoon. Let me cut to the chase.. I'm unsure if MISC really understands customer service: 1. Why drown a little salad? Why not ask if patron wants dressing on the side? Or even better serve a slightly bigger portion. Then again, since you don't offer a lunch special, I guess this is the standard size. At $13.95 it isn't worth it. 2. There is absolutely no interaction with your customers. My waitress never asked how I liked the food, did I want more water, did I want dessert... 3. The staff seems to be conversational with each other My trade off ended up costing me $30 for lunch. ( Take a look at the pictures of my food. ). The waitress just asks me to swipe my card, again no " How was your meal?" Hey, Eastern Parkway residents you deserve much better than this. I'm still unsure how MISC has survived since 2017??????? Now I know for my next BBG visit and Thai craving, I will be walking off the beaten path. read more

Entering the space, it's very cozy with a rustic atmosphere. The music was a vibe, just loud enough for you to bop your head and still manage to have conversations without screaming. The service was quick and hospitable. The food was delicious, good portions, and fairly priced. All in all, would go back again!!! read more

MISC stands for Miscellaneous, but to me, it stands for Mom's International South-asian Cuisine; it is because those regional dishes were by far the best in this Asian fusion restaurant. Most notably, Thai cuisine. Ambience: 3/5 Taste: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Value for Money: 3/5 On a cold spring day, we had: 1) Calamari Fritters - Fresh and great! Would recommend as a good starter 2) Panang Curry w/ Mixed Seafood - A must have for curry lovers 3) Thai noodle soup w/ Chicken - a lot of noodles but not a lot of veggies 4) Crispy duck over rice - Would recommend and is boneless (presentation was nice, you get 3-4 chunks and a leg) 5) Grandpa's secret over rice - a bit on the sweeter side, this uses Roast pork as the staple 6) massaman curry beef - the curries are good but the beef was on the chewy side 7) Duck in the pond - this was a solid for those who like duck and ramen! 8) Grilled pork and sticky rice - a bit on the sweeter side, tasted closer to honey than it should've been, but great flavours! (Needs more acidity/salt) Drinks: 1) Thai Iced Tea - Not good value for money and heavy on condensed milk 2) Hot Tea - Not complimentary 3.50 for a Lipton All in all, if you need a bite and your in the area, I would recommend it. Not sure if I would travel all the way here to just to have it but it does a good solid. read more

Misc is a cute neighborhood restaurant on Franklin Avenue. I enjoy the food it's really good I had some edamame which was really good and their fried chicken was nice as well too. I just went in there for a quick bite. Nothing too big. The service were really nice. The waitress are very attentive and brought my meal to me in great timing. I must say it was a little cold just because it's such a small restaurant and even though they have an extra door for the cold air not to come through. I guess that night was a really cold night but I ate my food. I enjoyed it and I will be back. read more

Hands down one of my favorite Thai places in the neighborhood. I always order the curry puffs (cost: 8.95 for 2) with the spicy basil friend rice with chicken (cost: 15.95). The chicken is always fresh and the spice level of the rice is perfect. The portion size is large enough to share with another person for the rice order. They give 2 curry puffs that are always perfectly fried. The food comes really quickly and the vibes are nice. It feels like a intimate bar setting and they have a bar located in the restaurant. I usually always sit at the front of the restaurant but there is outdoor seating as well. In terms of drinks, I love the lychee Bellini. They have happy hour prices before 8:30pm and after 8:30pm so truthfully it's almost always happy hour. Love the flavors and my food is always fresh! read more
