A cozy, casual Thai restaurant in Caroll Gardens. The interior is charming, with florals covering the ceiling. My sister and I went here for lunch special, and included was salad, our choice of appetizer (she got bankok wings, and I got the spring roll) and our choice of entree (we both got chicken pad see ew). We both enjoyed our appetizers, but the peanut sauce for the salad was quite heavy. The chicken pad see ew was tasty and a decent size for the lunch special. I also ordered the lychee lemonade, which was just okay, though I didn't really taste any lemonade in it though. Overall a nice spot for casual Thai food.

About 3 - 3.5 Still holding its own after all these years. I took a long pause from Thaism due to the inconsistency of the food quality. Yes, I sang its praises in a previous review but shortly thereafter my opinion changed. I felt that the food became mediocre--better at times but not great on other occasions. Passed by a few days ago when a chalkboard signage outside mentioning lunch special for $12.95 lured us in. The menu was limited but enough choices for lunch. We both chose salad (instead of soup) with Steamed vegetable dumplings (count of 3) for appetizer. Our mains were the same--Sweet and Sour Chicken. The lunch special value increases depending on selected protein (example shrimp). The main portion was generous/sufficient for lunch and overall, everything was pretty good and satisfying. Sweet and Sour Chicken tends to be too sweet for my liking and this was no exception. I normally don't order this entree and shook off the excess gravy. There might be a new owner in place but I'm not sure. The interior was much more decorated with garlands of fake flowers which was appealing/nice touch. Overall a good choice if stuck on lunch choices and looking to keep cost at a minimum. I'll return again.

I stopped by Thaism around 3:15pm on a Wednesday since I had business in the area. Their lunch special runs until 4pm, and it's a great deal! I was the only person in the restaurant the entire time. The ceiling is decked out with hanging orchids, which gives the space a nice aesthetic. The restaurant seats around 25 people, so it is on the smaller side. The in-person lunch special is $12.95, and it comes with soup or salad and one side. That is a rare steal these days! I ordered pad see ew with salad and the chive pancake. I enjoyed the peanut dressing that came with the salad, but I hate raw onions and had to pick those out. For the chive pancake, the inside of the pancake was a soggy texture. I prefer to have the crispy texture throughout. I also felt like the pancake needed more seasoning. I typically enjoy this without sauce but I needed the soy sauce because it was bland. The pad see ew sauce tasted like pad thai sauce instead of black bean sauce. My first bite was also heavy on the fish sauce! I like pad thai sauce, so I thought the dish was fine, but just a heads up for people who aren't a fan of fish sauce. I had my water refilled and got checked in on, so service was nice. Overall, there were some flavor misses that won't make this my favorite Thai restaurant in Brooklyn. However, I think the deal is great, so if you are in the area for lunch, check out Thaism!

Chicken Satay
Austin L.

Get the curry puffs over the chicken satay for an appetizer. It had a great amount of filling. The satay skewers were slightly dry and bland. The crab meat fried rice was delicious. I love the flavor of the Tom Yum in it. The Garlic Noodle also tasted like Pad See Ew but with garlic. It uses the same flat noodle and has the same chewiness! The Mango Sunrise mocktail tasted like a mango piña colada. It was tropically refreshing! We finished the meal with Mango Sticky Rice and the mango was in season for sure! The waitress was wonderful and the inside is floral and a beautiful space.

Inside

This restaurant had been on my list for a while and then I saw some really beautiful photos of some of the recent dishes so we decided to go for dinner. The space itself is quaint, yet beautifully, decorated with flowers murals and small touches that create the ambience you'd really like for a night out. The service is incredibly friendly, pretty and they allow you to enjoy your visit without hovering. The food is pretty good. I like my dish and my friend's dish as well. My only issue was my basil crab fried Rice didn't have nearly any of the ingredients deferentiating it from the others listed on the menu. Had I known most of those items, like the broccoli would not be in the basil fried rice, I would have gone with the original. Next time!

Massaman Curry Avocado
Taylor K.

I loved it here! The staff were very kind and the portions were huge. They offer happy hour deals & lunch specials if you're looking for a good deal. I loved the curry - the coconut flavor wasn't overpowering and it was a comforting meal. I would totally recommend this place if you're in the area! It's also beautifully decorated, perfect for a date night.

I love Thai and couldn't wait to try. When I arrived I found parking right in front. I walked into a cute restaurant. I was served by Silly and Pam, and they were nice! We started with the drinks of the long island, and my friend had a yummy looking cocktail. For our appetizers, I got the curry puffs, and my friend got the wings. It came out quickly, and the wings tasted good with the chili sauce. I enjoyed the curry puffs! For our meal, I got the hot sweet basil red snapper, and my friend got the drunken noodle with shrimp. Both of those dishes came out quickly, too! I really enjoyed my snapper, and my friend enjoyed her noodles. We lastly had dessert of the tiramisu cake and that was delicious! All in all, we had a really great experience!

Crispy Calamari
Amber D.

I really enjoyed dining at Thaism in Carroll Gardens. Everything I had here was delicious and I loved the beautiful floral aesthetic and great customer service. Here's what I had on the menu : The Mojito The Margarita Coconut Fried Shrimp Fried Calamari Crab Meat Pineapple Fried Rice (You can get it without egg as well) My favorite dish was the Crab Meat Pineapple Fried Rice. The crab meat was delicious, and the pineapple fried rice was cooked to perfection , I would highly recommend it. They also a great happy hour and lunch menu. It's the perfect restaurant to have a nice lunch or dinner, I would highly recommend Thaism.

This spot was cute with flowers hanging from the ceiling and a mural on the wall! The service was fast and the owner came up to us to check in on our experience. The food was yummy! My fav dishes were the Crispy Duck Roll, the Massaman Curry with Coconut Sticky Rice and the Mango Mousse Cake

On a Saturday evening, we ventured in for dinner. We ordered the ginger tea which was warming -- and it came out at the same time as our edamame appetizer. I appreciated they had labeled the menu with what was gluten free and ordered the lemongrass Tom Yum soup with chicken - it was a bit spicy by tasty. I had the shrimp and avocado curry -- it was so flavorful and delicious! My husband had the salmon curry which was a mix of tasty vegetables with salmon on top. The servers came by regularly to see if we needed anything and refilled our water. If looking for Thai food in Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens, this would be a top choice.

Pineapple Crab Meat Fried Rice
Simone E.

Ordered lunch from here via Seamless and was excited and then my hopes were lost. On a good note, the packaging is good. The food is secure and there was a fork and knife included. When I ordered the food, I wrote no egg and peanuts, and upon opening, there were eggs and peanuts. I picked out all the peanuts from the dish, when I shouldn't have had to. In addition to this, the rice wasn't as flavorful as it could. The vegetables and the crab meat are what saved this dish.

This area is filled with restaurants but we were looking for some Thai food this afternoon. The brunch places nearby all had +45mins wait so we decided this place could work. We arrived and were seated quickly and after quickly looking at their menu we knew what we wanted. This basil beef stir fry was the BEST I've ever had!! The food here is super flavorful and delicious! I can't say much more the place is nice for a date or casual dining. We will be back!

Reaaaaalllly good Thai food at Samyan. We came here during lunch and they have a very reasonable…read morelunch menu! $15-$17 dishes and some drink and appetizer add ons if you wish. I ordered the green curry with beef from the lunch menu. The curry is very watery but tasted really delicious. The beef with boiled texture and lots of peppers were in the sauce. It came with white rice and I loved it. The crispy tofu add on was good if you like tofu! The sweet peanut sauce went perfectly with the fluffy tofu. The beef pad see eww was one of the best I've ever had. From the texture of the noodles, to the sauce, to the veggies and beef. It's a must have here! Tom yum soup came in a huge tower and was perfect to share. We ever had some leftovers. Good amount of shrimp and veggies inside. Quick and attentive service! And the worker's little son helped her bring the check for fun. It was adorable

Lunch in Brooklyn during in-between meetings of my professional duties of a Wednesday afternoon…read moresummons Thai cuisine. Pad Kee Mao (aka Drunken Noodles), chicken $15.00 Stir-fried flat rice noodle, bamboo shoots, garlic, basil, fresh chili, onion, carrot, string bean, bell pepper, long hot chili The flat rice noodle quantity was sufficient, but minimal and there were too much onion, insufficient string bean, two paucity pieces of carrot. I dislike bamboo shoot which is not a standard ingredient for this particular entrée. I think the bamboo shoot tainted this entrée. I am a traditionalist conservative which bean sprouts is a good substitute variation for bamboo shoot vegetable including string bean. This entrée is my favorite default and as a caveat, if any Thai restaurant or cafe do not offer on their menu I refuse entry to patronize. This entrée enticed my interest and embedded the lunch meal menu for the reasonable price. I personally despise and do not consume spicy hot foods, but occasionally consume mild or very mild in the smallest measurement of the Scoville scale which I specifically requested, but received medium hot spicy. The waitress forewarned me the intense heat level on the Scoville scale as Thai cultural spicy with two or more bird's eye chilies for a high level of spiciness. The spiciness of chili peppers were, in my opinion, medium spicy. Despite the intense medium heat spiciness, the stir-fried noodles lacked flavor with, tender chicken, minimal vegetables, and Thai basil in a bland taste. I wish I chosen shrimp as the protein. Pad Kee Mao sustained my hunger pangs and ate my fill. When eating Thai intense heat spicy foods, I visualize to think of the TV segment "Niall Horan & James Corden Take On Hot Wings" on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in March, 2020. High heat spicy foods! Thai ice tea, large $3.00 This was a delight and neutralized the heat spiciness because it contains milk. It was served chilled in a large highball glass. Samyan is a Thai cafe located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC and accessible via MTA NYC Transit C local train at Clinton-Washington subway station. This cafe is a independently owned and operated, thankfully. The waitress did check-in with me during my meal for attentive customer service. The atmospheric conditions were a simple small dine-in cafe. There were many paintings, portraits hanging on their walls of white subway tiles. Gold metallic metal chopsticks and fork are provided. If utensils are gold then the interior cafe should contain these "gaudy" feature extensive gold elements, including gilded moldings and furniture. Peony rose are very simply and made pretty table centerpiece decorations. Takeout menu and business cards are available for grabs. I did received my sales receipt. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 18%, 20% and 22% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. I paid $23.00 in cash as the waitress' informative knowledge of the ingredients and preparation of the heat level on the Scoville scale.

This is definitely depends highly on the fact of what time and day you to Holic Thai Bistro. Here for a good time to chat but in a chill environment . I would lunch special hours and the beginning of the evenings are your best bet. Otherwise you're here with the party crowd. But looks like all good vibez only, Please. Let's get to the food. First off the most delicious group of appetizers. I wished their potions size were more decent. It's pricey for what is offered. Since curries are my favorite I tired those entrees first. Love the masala and green. Like them so tried with different types of proteins. My only draw back to this place or gets too rowdy at times. Also the place is too small . They need to expand so there more movement around. I would come back during the lunch hours to try the noodles and rice. I've seen come out to the kitchen is pretty tempting. If you want to socialize mingle with the crowds of the locals come after 6pm.

Quality was on par with the prior Thai Holic and portion sizes are large! Inside had a similar style to the prior restaurant, albeit a little dark. Service for both drinks and food was quick. Also, if you pay with cash, you get a 10% discount! We came here on a weekend afternoon and was happy to discover that it was happy hour, so my friend and I each ordered a drink for $10. He got the Rum Punch and I got the Zombie and both were good. Since we already knew we liked the prior restaurant and it was hard for us to get back to this location, we went with items that we usually don't order - Duck Pad Thai and Salmon Curry. Both was delicious, we loved the flavors of both dishes.

Newsflash: Ugly Baby is back on its bullshit. Ugly Baby's…read moreconceit, if you can call it that, was that it was really, really spicy. Spicy food, in case you didn't know, connotes authenticity. Call it suffering for beauty, in a culinary wrapper. Ugly Baby took this S&M theater to its logical conclusion in all regards: tuck it in an inaccessible corner of South Brooklyn; use tiny chairs and brusquely inform diners they have an hour start to finish at their table. The more inconvenient it was, the better. I held my applause after my single visit to Ugly Baby, which closed amidst wails and lamentation last year from people who liked rough treatment. But something drew me back to this reincarnation, started by the same people. Maybe, I thought, they'd found a way to bring us that magnetic authenticity, and hold the ball gags and chain flails? The answer is no. I should have known from the name alone: another mysterious two-word phrase (both of whose words again end in -y) that sounds like it could be an overly literal translation of some ineffable Thai concept. I should have known when it opened in the same godforsaken corner of ... what is that? Gowanus? I should have known from the protracted negotiations for a suitable table that followed when my husband, mom and I arrived punctually for our 5:30 reservation and were primly informed we'd be squeezing onto a two top, then were refused an obviously empty three-top ("it's reserved"....oh you mean by a party of three with a reservation like us?), and then grudgingly seated at a four-top, half of which was literally in the kitchen. I should have known after being apprised that "you have one hour at the table." I should have known when there were no appetizers or desserts, and only two vegetarian entrees. This is the same thing as before. We're so back, baby. The mushroom curry, with its single fire emoj, was nowhere near the spiciest thing on the menu, but gosh was it still spicy. How do they make food with such complex flavors that's still hot enough to have emanated from the bowels of hell? It has to be one of the best curries I've had. It's a talent, special even, but it could easily coexist without Hungry Thirsty's other downsides. But I think all those inconveniences and discomforts are the point. They serve to reinforce the specialness of the special parts, counterintuitively increasing your mental investment in internally extolling Hungry Thirsty's virtues. They are to each element what spice is to food: it hurts, and you're proud that it hurts. It all adds up to the second coming of Ugly Baby, and why wouldn't it? Enough people liked being slapped around; maybe they felt like they deserved it. You know if that's you or not.

I enjoyed the food and the event so much that I've returned and told others to go as well. What I like the most is that Chiangmai's expansive menu showcases aspects of Thai cuisine that you're probably not getting at your neighborhood spot. Many items are Northern Thai style dishes. I'd never had Khao Soi before coming here and I was blown away. The chiangmai sausage is also delicious. The roasted duck curry boasts deep flavor while also maintaining the crispiest duck skin. For appetizers, we started with the crispy salmon belly bites and the moo ping. Frying salmon is risky, but the fattiness of the belly keeps it from drying out. The moo ping is nicely grilled and served with a sweet sauce. You just can't go wrong ordering meat on a stick. As an entree, I tried the Gaeng Awm Nur, a soup-like beef dish served with a side of sticky rice. Our server had been really nice and welcoming, so I felt ok asking how I should eat my meal. She advised that I make a ball of some sticky rice with my hand, mash it a bit, and then dip it into the soup. Thai food achievement unlocked! Now I know what to do next time I'm served sticky rice. There's so much on the menu it can be hard to choose. This is encouragement to go with someone else who enjoys food so you can choose things to share! You won't be disappointed and in fact may find that your regular Thai spots could step up their game in comparison.
