The place has a nice ambience, very clean them lighting so it give a little romance a little sex appeal. This is it's like my local go to when I'm hungry and I want a good drink. read more

I haven't been to this hood in a verrrry long time. Major changes in the area is an understatement, but the sense of community seems to still remain. This place has a neighborhood homey vibe. Service is good, but they're not gonna overdo it, they know they make good food, and you'll know it when you're done eating. The bar is lively, seems like there are regulars, and they don't eff up the overall vibe. I had: Musaman Curry Chicken. Niiice. Warm spicy, with a great creamy sauce. With a side of jasmine rice. Perfect for a chilly day, but not crazy spicy to annoy your tastebuds for anything else you order. Enough to share, but maybe you won't, I don't judge. Curry Puffs were guuud. Nice, light, but filling. Dipping sauce was on point. I tried to share, but I may have taken more than my share. Tofu Tod, I'm only guessing here, cuz it was triangular, slight crisp, and green and tasty AF. My friend ordered them and I was stunned at the flavor, but totally forgot to ask what it was. NY Panang Duck. This was ordered by my friend, but dang, I wish I ordered one to go, it was guuud too. Succulent sliced duck, with crispy skin edges, and the sauce was the perfect flavor companion. I stopped eating my curry to get another bite of this dish. I would definitely go back based on the sauces alone. I'm assuming they run a good bar, and the customers seem happy with the food, there were several couples and singles in their Eating Zone, no words spoken. Takeout if you need to, but I recommend goin in, having a seat and getting your food hot from the kitchen. Every time that door opened from the kitchen, the smells of goodnisss paraded past your table. Yums! read more

I've been coming to Thai 101 for years, it was a Fav. . I visited today for my sister's birthday and ordered the garlic and pepper fried snapper. After a few bites, I noticed the fish had a pungent smell and an off taste. I politely brought this to the attention of our server, who initially responded well by offering to remove it from the bill and asking if I'd like a replacement. I declined the same dish and requested the garlic palate entrée with shrimp instead. The server returned to inform me that the chef tasted the fish and found nothing was wrong with it , therefore, they would not be serving me anything else. I was stunned. I've never experienced such dismissive and unprofessional treatment, especially as a long-time, loyal customer. I told the server she didn't need to bring me anything else and just asked for the check. Sadly, this experience has completely changed how I view this restaurant. The lack of respect, accountability, and basic hospitality was disappointing. I won't be returning, and I can no longer recommend this place to others. read more

I usually only order to go since I work in the neighborhood but today decided to sit and eat since I wanted a drink. They have happy hour from 4-830pm & the drink list isn't super limited like other places during happy hour. Reasonable prices beer was $6, wine was $7 and mixed cocktails were $8. We got a plum white wine which was sweet but good and an island breeze mixed drink . It wasn't packed inside , but can tell it starts to get more service as the night goes on and more takeout delivery happening. Vibes inside was calm, I liked the Thai music they were playing too. As for food! I always get the shrimp wonton soup because anything with Chinese broccoli, sign me up! The firecracker shrimp was good, and it came with a crispy edible shell, not sure what it was made of but similar to a pork rind. The star of the night was the fried snapper which was fried hard aka crispy but not burnt (if you're from Brooklyn and like your chicken wings fried hard, you'll appreciate this), we got it with the tamarind sauce and asked to add alittle spice to it. It was sweet but a nice balance of spice, could've been more spicier but you have to be careful with Thai spice so we played it safe and added our own hot sauce they have. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. *a heads up, they added gratuity to the check for two ppl, with no warning. Makes things easier and not a problem for us but some people do not like that. Will def be back soon to try more things off their extensive menu read more

I haven't actually dined in, it's always a delivery because my family in the area is still not ready to be in restaurants post Covid. The food is always delivered fresh and promptly, even when it may be noted the delivery can arrive between 35-40 minutes. We stick to the same items most of the time. Veggie dumplings, Thai 101 dumplings, basil fried rice, chicken wings, crispy rolls and my favorite...the Thai tea. I noticed a few times with the Thai dumplings, they can have more gristle than chicken. Mainly when I order late in the day this occurs... The chicken wings are Spicy and have been chewy at times. read more

This place is walking distance from my home so I called ahead to order take out. The duck dishes intrigued me, so I asked if the Spicy Basil duck could be made mild. Thankfully the restaurant was able to accommodate my request. I also ordered the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer and Thai iced coffee. My meal was ready upon arrival. The Thai iced coffee was decent, but didn't have enough condensed milk to my liking so it wasn't as sweet as I'm used to. Firecracker was crispy shrimp in wonton wrap and shrimp chips. It also came with a delightful mayo sauce which had a little kick, but was not too spicy even for me. I enjoyed the crunchiness of the shrimp and it was well seasoned. I ate the shrimp and chips together, which gave it an extra layer of crispness. The Basil duck consisted of a medley of vegetables on top, including green beans, carrots, onion, along with really tasty basil sauce, as well as garlic and a few other potent seasonings. Underneath the vegetables was roasted duck, which was nicely tender and full of basil flavor. It think I would have preferred it with crispy duck though. I would consider trying other menu items from this establishment, but there are so many different Thai restaurants on Myrtle Ave that I would like to sample some other places first. read more

My last few pad Thai experiences have been so turrrible that I was beginning to think that I don't even like pad Thai. Thai 101 has reset my thinking. Treated myself to an early veggie dinner after an MD visit up the block. My basil vegetable noodles, were filled with tasty carrots, broccoli, peppers, egg etc. Flavors were great but be warned, super spicy. My crispy rolls were delicious. All the food was smoking hot, fresh and why I'll be going back soon. read more

First my group of three all received appetizer dishes that were chipped in varying degrees; when this was brought our waitress's attention, she replied, they are all chipped" meanwhile another employee brought unchipped plates to our table. Then my rice had a long hair in it, when shown, what do you want was asked. I responded a new one and a takeaway tray that I want to pack myself. Said rice was taken away and returned in a takeaway container already packed along with a separate container for my other food. I specifically stated I wanted to pack myself own food! Why wouldn't you provide a replacement side of rice for me to pack myself as requested. How do I know that's not the same hairy rice! Never again! read more

Came for lunch. Walked in to an empty restaurant. The young lady who was the hostess/greeter stared me in my face and never said a word. No greeting, no welcome to the restaurant, not a word. Just stares. I initiated the interaction with a good afternoon and her response was "to go". Clearly she didn't want to serve me so I proceeded to leave. I hear a loud sigh as I'm walking out the establishment. Safe to say I will not be back and Will patronage an establishment that at the least will welcome you to their business. read more

I had hair in my damn lemonade Lost my appetite and didn't even bother to take it back! By the time I got home I regained my appetite, judge ‍ me lol. I figured I'd at-least eat the food. Crab fried rice is good but could use some soy sauce. I like it though. The chicken wings made my stomach hurt! I'm watching the nfl playoffs in pain. I took off all my clothes to use the bathroom. Never going here again. The hair in my lemonade is crazy! I've never seen anything like that! read more

I am searching for that perfect Thai food restaurant in Fort Greene area. I ordered from this neighborhood spot Thai 101 bistro . I got - Basil fried rice: the tofu was perfect and the basil flavor was strong. I just wish it was a tad bit more spicy. Not pictured but I also got their dessert fried banana with matcha ice cream- this was unique and I enjoyed it. This is a great spot, tbh I can't complain much coz all that food was only $10 and the delivery was quick . I gotta try other spots in the area but for now glad that I found a cheap and quick Thai place. read more

Exceeded my expectations! Stop in here to grab dinner a few days ago and really enjoyed the food. It's a small restaurant, also has a bar. We went during happy hour so drinks/shots were $6. Tried a couple and they were definitely fruitier than I like but still enjoyed for the price. Got chicken satay to start and the peanut sauce was delicious. For my meal I tried chicken pad Thai (extra spicy) and it was great! I'm a huge pad Thai fan so am extra particular about it but it was flavorful and spicy, exactly how I would've wanted. Food is very reasonably priced so will definitely be back! read more

This restaurant, packs on, the flavor for a very affordable price. The servers are attentive. The appetizers are awesome - curry puffs, dumplings, fire cracker shrimp, chicken fritters, and satay - and most of the main dishes are tasty too. I must say that two of my favorite dishes are no longer my favorites at this restaurant due to the decrease in the quality. The snapper tasted old last three times I've ordered and the red curry was changed to be watered down with extra sugar instead of using rich tasty coconut milk. I've mentioned this to the severs, but those dishes I eat elsewhere at other Thai restaurants that don't have great appetizers. Hopefully they fix these issues. read more

Ok in a pinch. Dinner portions were more like lunch specials. Service was quick and friendly.

Definitely one of the better Thai restaurants on the block. Pretty good menu with a lot of the standards and some house specialties. Really cute decor inside. Very friendly and prompt service from the staff with some happy hour drink specials. Options to sit and eat at the bar or in the formal dining area make it very convenient for everyone. Great prices and portions, if you like Thai and your on Myrtle I dignity suggest this spot. read more

So, I happened to park in front of this restaurant to go to the bank and noticed their lunch special ($7.95 for an appetizer and entree) and figured hey - I haven't treated myself to lunch in 5011 years (that's fifty-leven for those of y'all not from the south). Anyhoo, I came in (and here's the reason I couldn't give 5 stars), the young man stops me by the bar and gives me the to go menu. I felt rushed because he stood there with the pen in his hand waiting to take my order. I ordered the Golden Fritters appetizer and Pad Thai noodles with vegetables as my entree. I advised I wanted to sit and eat ... Sat and was served my appetizer promptly. Ordered the Lychee Iced Tea - quite sweet, but delightful. The Fritters and Pad Thai were also quite tasty. I will return for lunch again. read more

I came in here with my friends since we were hungry and I thought we should go to a Thai place. we were just walking and I noticed the sign that said it was happy hour and it was my friend's 21 birthday so I suggested we go there (so I could get her a drink AND EAT!) Once we stepped it in it was pretty dark (to set the mood?!) As we were being seated , every table that I passed by I was able to smell the delicious dishes that the people had ordered. I ordered the tofu green curry fried rice and a princess cocktail for my friend. My friends ordered the duck dish and another ordered just the crab dumplings. My dish came out first- there were A LOT of rice so I shared with everyone. There were plenty of tofu, which was awesome!!! There was a lot of flavor but not too much. And while it did say it was supposed to be spicy it wasn't at all. Although one of my friend couldn't take it (weak sauce!) Maybe the cook had altered it ? but it's totally fine- it was so good . When my friend's duck dish came out I didn't see the duck due to the fact that they had topped a lot of veggies on top of the duck. So the duck was under all that veggies and the duck was sitting in a small puddle (not a bad thing) of coconut milk sauce. The sauce was light and the duck was cooked really well. It wasn't tough or dry at all. It was simply to die for! My friends and I couldn't stop eating it. I wished there was more duck to go around! I would deff come back again to get the duck and try their other dishes. While the food are great the service was iffy. I mean they took out orders and brought it out- that's about it. They liked to sit in the back to do I dont' know what. Other then that the food was great. :D read more

The panang curry is very good! It's not overly sweet and has good flavor to it. The curry also feels like it had depth to it. They only give a small side of fried rice though. I also ordered the firecracker. It was an appetizer around 6-7 bucks, but I don't think I would ever get this again. It's just puff cracker pieces with fried shrimp. But the fried shrimp is not good! It felt like I was biting into unpeeled shrimp. read more

Thursday, September 1, 2022 early afternoon, party of 4. We were greeted and seated at a table toward the back which was out of the way of the foot traffic. We ordered: Appetizer of spare ribs which were tender, well season,, cooked, and plated. 2 Tom Yum soups with shrimps which were perfectly prepared and flavorful. 1 steamed salmon with ginger sauce with white rice. Was a nice portion that she ended up taking half home. 2 fried salmon in ginger sauce. One could not stop eating hers and ate it all...rice as well. The other got full off of her soup and picked at be fish dish and took it home. Papaya Salad was tasty with just enough to punch the taste buds. Chicken Drunken Noodles were well prepared and seasoned well. A little Sriracha kicked it up a notch. Gratuity was added to our bill which made it so, much easier to figure out. Service was good and Food was delish and plentiful. Will be back for more. read more

The service is 5/5. The food not so much. This was a first time experience for me in downtown Brooklyn area, so I was hoping that the experience would be worth it. When we first went in there were no customers. This was on a peak time during a Friday. Anyways I ended up getting food poisoning. The dishes are a variety, but I am not sure if it was the undercooked shrimp from the Tom Yum soup or the stale tilapia that did it for me. Only giving them a two star because they were kind as a host. read more

Bad experience with a Grubhub delivery! I ordered from Thai 101 via Grubhub on Friday night, Dec 1, 2023. The order went though and I got alerts that it was on its way. Then the delivery never arrived. I checked my lobby and nothing was there. I got an alert saying it was delivered but it never arrived. I called the restaurant and they were unhelpful. Perhaps it's fine for dine-in, but I do not recommend delivery. read more

I should've looked for these reviews before dining here. I got distracted because my MIL is in town. Anyway, we didn't feel like driving to SEA (tried and true) so we settled for Myrtle Avenue. Well, this was below settling. Imagine going to a Thai restaurant where seafood is the top cuisine and getting IMITATION CALAMARI! How?! Then the staff did not listen - we asked for 2 sweet chili sauces, she brings 1 soy sauce. Then, when we repeated it, she brings a second soy sauce. I finally thought I should make sure she could hear and understand me but she still only brought us 1 sweet chili sauce. We shared chili sauce! Ugh. And guess what... all the sauces were listed on the bill. Yeah, don't go there. read more

Is it me or when eating in are the portions on the small side??? I normally eat at Joya down town & get more than double what I got at Thai 101... Establishment was clean. Food was ok.

I don't really like Thai food but wanted to try this Thai place, I'm still not too crazy about Thai food but I have to say this place is very clean. Very decorative design to the establishment and they have a full bar. The soup was really good it had nice fresh chunks of tofu and fresh cilantro. The dishes come out very decorative as well. You can see the effort and that the chef takes pride in his work. read more
