GANG PU
Tony G.

TL;DR: Great Thai spot in Bushwick area. Great for both large parties or smaller groups. Came in for an early birthday dinner with a group of 6 on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We ordered: - Taro fritters - Pork jowl - Massaman brisket - Crispy duck - Gang Pu (crab meat curry) - Beef pad see ew - Khao soi - Mango sticky rice All were really solid! I would say standout dishes for the pork jowl and mango sticky rice. I'm also always a sucker for pad see ew. If I were to come again with a smaller group I'd definitely get the pork jowl without a doubt. At any rate, good casual spot. Big space. It's not exactly fine dining, but the space is decorated well and the wait stuff was friendly and attentive. Would recommend!

I tend to consider everything in Bushwick out of the way but Tong is definitely a standout worth the trek. It's got a nice ambiance that straddles the date-night and casual dining vibe. You won't look out of place a little dressy but you can also just saddle up to the bar for a quick bite. And quick the service is! We ordered the tapas-like plates and they not only came out super fast but they were all mad delicious. The pork jowl had a lovely tamarind sauce, the Yum Naem crispy rice was fiery in the best way, the veg dumpling was outstanding and the truffle spring rolls were sufficiently tuffley. So filling for two, left feeling totally satiated. Also ordered the Jolean gin cocktail which was delicate and deeeeelicious. Would definitely come back and explore more of the menu the next time life drags me over here.

Delicious Thai food, and highly recommend eating family style. Our favorites were the smaller dishes/appetizers. The pork jowl and the grilled octopus was great! We also loved the crab fried rice, although I'd say it's similar to what you can get at other Thai restaurants (reminded me of Pranakhon's). The interior has a nice minimalistic design and custom furniture for the space accompanied with dim lighting; it's optimal for a date night.

Really good Thai food that serves flavors that are different from your usual Thai restaurant in New York. Recommend: - Crispy duck - Khao soi: I love this dish, and I think they do khao soi better than some other Brooklyn Thai restaurants. A generously sized chicken drumstick, a good sphere of fried egg noodles on top, and delicious curry to coat your spoon with - Taro fritter: crunchy on outside, soft on inside, flavorful with the dipping sauce Bigger entree dishes (kub khao) can comfortably feed 2 people and will average in the mid-$20s range. We didn't have reservations but were able to get bar seating right away. They have a $45 menu for Restaurant Week in July that I might consider trying

KHAO SOI
Gab G.

Made a same-day dinner reservation for a Friday and had a great meal here. The khao soi was by far my favorite dish - the pickles!!! - and is now on my list of top khao soi in NYC. Also really liked the Yum naem (crispy rice)- just note it is SPICY. Thai iced tea and veg dumpling also worth getting. Only skip was the oysters. Will be back for fish and more khao soi!!

My big bro is the only friend I have who can eat as much as me. Whenever we get together the amount of food we consume is biblical. We have been trying to expand our search for good restaurants outside of our normal stomping grounds, and decided on Tong, as it has been on the Michelin guide list 4 years in a row. 4-peat is crazy. Although, what does the Michelin man really know about food? We hopped off the L-Train in Bushwick and made the short walk to Tong, through brightly painted warehouses that you can't tell if they are occupied or empty. Bushwick is so unique. We arrived ready to EAT. We sat down and deliberated over the menu for longer than I care to admit, and decided on the following: Beef tartare, Yum Naem, Oysters, Beef Pad See Ew, Crab Curry, Chicken Green Curry, Massaman Brisket, Fried Branzino, and the Fillet Branzino. A laughable amount of food. I don't know why we thought we could eat all that. When you sit down, the servers first question is "are you guys okay with spicy food?" Big bro confidently nodded his head with a look of slight disrespect on his face as if to say "do you know who I am?!" Next thing I know he's running to the bathroom to go splash some water on his face after 1 bite of the crab curry. Food can be SPICY in here so if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. I normally only highlight one dish to try and keep these reviews short, but this food was sensational, so imma highlight a few. Our favorites were the Fried Branzino, Massaman Brisket, and the Pad See Ew. The Fried Branzino is really what will bring me back here. It will keep me up at night thinking about how good this was. You get the entire fish seasoned with turmeric, black pepper, fried garlic, and lemongrass. It was the perfect dish. The owner, Pat, came over to our table to talk to us for a bit. She was such a sweetheart, and so passionate. She also told us that they order the Pad See Ew noodles fresh every single morning from this market close by. Running a restaurant must be so hard, so shout out to Pat. We pride ourselves on never taking leftovers, but we took a huge L here. We walked out of here like a couple of DORKS with bags of food. I felt like a little kid bringing my lunch to school smh. Great service, great people, and great food in here. I'll be back. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

CRAB FRIED RICE
Kiley K.

WOW - this meal absolutely blew me away! Went with a group of friends and we ordered a bunch of things to try and every dish hit! I can't wait until the next time I go back. Some standouts were the crab fried rice and the mango sticky rice dessert.

PORK JOWL
Geena K.

Holy bleep. NOTE TO SELF: GEM RESTAURANT!!! Possibly the best Thai food I've ever had In order of what I liked: Khao soi: savory and sweet with a whole piece of chicken! SO GOOD! Kept mixing in white rice with the sauce. MY FAVE Crispy Duck: yum, comes with nice sauce Crab fried rice: it's crab fried rice, you know what it tastes like, it's always good. Large crab chunks Pork jowl: was good (reminded me of the Korean boiled pork dish bosam in the meat but the flavors were different, more fish sauce! Delish) Massaman brisket: VERY peanuty! Creamy and thick! Good portions. This all together fed 7 people. It was all so delicious.

I can see exactly why this place has been on the Michelin guide for the past five years. It's on the pricier side when it comes to the Thai food, but so worth your coins . We didn't get an entree and stick to order a few apps The truffles spring rolls were stuck with mushroom and glass noodles. You can't really taste the truffle in the spring roll itself, but the sauce is full of it. And so delicious. We also asked on sweet chili sauce on the side and it was delicious Some of the best octopus I've had perfectly cooked . Perfect texture. Spicy but delicious

Sophia N.

Thai food continues to wow me in the city. Each dish was incredible, but I particularly enjoyed the pork jowl. The drinks were also lovely and pretty strong. One dish never came, but we over ordered and the staff took the item off of the bill. I would recommend Tong for dinner before any night life in the area!

Aimee H.

We came as a group of 7 to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was a great dinner! I think we got 7 or 8 dishes total but the pork jowl and beef pad see ew were my favorite. The fish was also a close second! Only giving this a four and not five because of the stiff competition for thai food in nyc (felt like the khao soi i had at soothr was better and sappe is probably still my top for thai food). Service was really nice though and they gave us mango sticky rice for our friend's bday!

Truffle Spring Roll
Candace M.

Get the truffle spring rolls! Get the truffle spring rolls! Omg - so good. Everything we had here was amazing and very unique. The taro fritter has bits of sweet potato and black beans in it giving it multiple yummy textures. The spring rolls were vegetarian, but the mushrooms made it taste like meat and the truffle flavor was divine. The duck was flavorful and juicy. Every single thing was not only delicious, but amazing. I cannot wait to come back here.

TARO FRITTER, steak tartare
Surika A.

My friends and I decided to come here in a group of 8 before going out in Bushwick and WOW was I amazed. Thai food in nyc has not disappointed me but I feel like this is truly up there. We shared many apps like the steak tartare, the taro fritters and also shared mains such as the beef pad see ew, khao soi, and the fish. What actually impressed me the most were the drinks though. My friends and I ordered different cocktails and you could honestly order any of them and you'll be impressed. The wait staff was super nice and they even gave my friend a mango sticky rice for his birthday! Definitely coming back

This restaurant is 6 out of 5 stars…read more I ate here a few times back when I lived in NYC, and now that I can afford to, I make a point of going every time I visit NYC. I bring friends and family and lovers when they're in NYC with me. It doesn't get old. Some restaurants I visit a few times and get tired of. Not traif. The value is spectacular. I think the tasting menu was up to $62 the last time I visited (up from $45 when it opened around 2010 if I recall correctly, so the price has increased less than CPI inflation), plus an obligatory service fee in lieu of a tip. (A positive in my mind, I hate tipping culture.) For 10 or so dishes. That's like $6 a dish before the service fee and tax. You can hardly buy any prepared food dish in the city for $6. The cheapest items at Woorijip are $5. A slice of pizza at a midrange pizzeria is $5. You're getting around 10 excellent dishes at a fancy chef grade quality level for $6 each. There is a wide range of flavors, spices, ingredients, and textures. The ambience is comfortable, casual, and hipsterish. You can come as you are, you don't need to dress up. The patio is really nice when weather allows. There is enough space between tables (by NYC standards) for comfort. The cocktails are also quite good. I usually order two. Haven't tried the wine pairing as I'm not as much of a wine drinker. The service is consistently good. Traif is my standard of comparison for more expensive fine-dining restaurants. Any time I eat at a more expensive meal, I ask myself, did I enjoy the food more or less than I would have enjoyed a $62 meal at traif. More often than not, traif wins. The exceptions are usually at least 2x as expensive as traif. That's not to say there's no merit in trying those other restaurants, for the sake of variety or their unique ambiance. But like I was in Honolulu recently and had a tasting menu in Waikiki that was 3x the price of traif and it was terrible. Every dish was the same flavor, umami and salt. They put all their XP into plating and textures, and none into flavors. I was at Bad Roman recently and spent $100 before tax and tip on dinner and one drink. The ambiance was sublime, but the food was just so-so. Other than their neighboring sister restaurant xixa (similar format but Mexican-inspired), I know of no other restaurant in NYC where you can get nearly this price point for such high quality cheffy food. There used to be a few others maybe. They went out of business or raised their prices. Only traif and xixa remain. I've spent a lot of time looking. I haven't found any. As an Ashkenazi atheist, I also love how the name and theme of the restaurant poke fun at kashrut.

Looks like they have a cute outside dining area in the back although I didn't venture into it. Probably would be great for a balmy evening meal. All the food we got was delicious - they have a lot of pork and seafood on the menu. Everything was shareable and so flavorful. Really enjoyed the food. They'll try to sell you on the Chef's Choice but it just didn't seem like an efficient route for our table so we just ordered the items that caught our eye. Only reason for 4 stars is because the waiter's attitude changed a bit when we didn't order any alcoholic drinks. There's an automatic 20% tip here and it's already a pricey place so seems like a strange attitude to have...

AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.

A trendy spot for modern Mexican eats! Everything was baseline yummy, standouts include Blue Crab…read moreTostada, Shrimp and Scallop Tacos and Tiramisu Tres Leches.

That level of service definitely didn't earn a 22% fee. Food was delicious, but between the slow service and high charges, I wouldn't recommend this place. There are plenty of spots that actually match their prices with good service.

The breakfast was delicious and balanced- highly recommend the merguez and eggs- tasty earthy sausage, creamy scrambled eggs, tangy kale salad, and a delicious avocado. Good vibes. Indoor and outdoor space. Highly recommend!
