If I could return the food that I had to eat to this restaurant, I would! My friend and I were extremely hungry when ordering our food from this restaurant, and once we arrived the woman taking orders was VERY rude (wish I had a photo of her). She denied our requests for simple condiments, claimed she didn't take card only cash (she accepted card from the next customer!) and refused to hand over our food that we ordered 45mins prior until 30mins after we'd arrived. The food was not tasteful, and I am very disappointed to have had this experience especially during this time. We need more love and compassion in the world, hate breeds the downfall of our world today! read more

This place might be a hidden gem because you wouldn't except the food to be good based on how this place looks from the inside. It definitely needs to be renovated to say the least, but if you're looking for good Thai food in the area, I think it's worth checking out. The service was great - the waitress checked on us a few times and made sure we were enjoying our food. The food itself was pretty good. I got the Spicy Basil Friend Rice with Chicken. A lot of the reviews seem to be based on the takeout experience this place provides, so I can't speak to that, but for a sit-down dinner, I'd go back if I was in the area. read more

Ten years in Brooklyn, and this place is still my go-to. Great food, great service, glad they're still around. Highly recommend the pineapple curry w/ shrimp read more

I had heard about this place for a while and decided to check it out on my way home. Its a brightly lit restaurant in the Prospect Heights area of Brooklyn. There are quite a few menu selections, its not that big a place but it has a nice vibe flowing. I had fried vegetable dumplings with a ginger soy sauce which was quite tasty. They had a great selection of drinks with excellent happy hour prices which is a plus. Formy entree I had thai fried rice with shrimp whuch was nucely seasoned with onions, tomatoes, eggs, and scallions, wuth cucumbers and a slice of lime on the side. The waitress was very attentive and gave great suggestions. Most importantly of all is the price was light. There was a big table across from me celebrating a birthday and they were very lively. The only thing is that it was a little too dark for me. The prices are extremely reasonable and you just cant go wrong. Check it out, you wont be sorry. read more

Been here twice, very good Thai food, tried the red curry once and the "herbal duck" next time. They also make their own home-made chili-garlic condiment that is delicious. Good attentive service. For Covid times they have constructed outdoor "booths" that offer relative privacy but with good ventilation and also protect from the rain. I will note that sometimes requests for "extra spicy" preparation are not honored, but the original recipes are still good nonetheless. Would definitely return. read more

Great little find! I'm not familiar with Brooklyn at all...actually wanted Mexican but didn't like the looks of the place we picked and this was next door. Delightful!! Had a great sake by the bottle, it was happy hour on a Sunday afternoon, discount on appetizers....really, you can't go wrong. Food was quick, delicious and price was definitely on point. Service was very good, our waitress was training, but everyone was super pleasant, so not a big deal! Would definitely come back if i was in the area again! read more

Udom Thai - Yum! - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It pains me to write this because I love Thai food. I came here one weekend afternoon with a friend. We were sat down quickly in a nice cozy area by a darkened window. We wanted to try a few things so we ordered four appetizers: fried wontons, pan-fired dumplings, chicken satay, and some spicy fried chicken. Everything tasted so blah. I was really hoping for tasty food so I was really disappointed. The only thing with any kick was the fried chicken, and I wouldn't consider that Thai. The service was fine.The ambiance (especially for an afternoon) could be a little brighter. The decor was nice. I'll give this place another shot (as I believe in second chances) if I'm ever in the neighborhood again. But for this first experience it was rather lackluster in taste. read more

This restaurant is quaint and cozy, decently decorated. My husband and I stopped by for a quick lunch and sadly to say I was disappointed. Maybe it was an off day I'm not certain. Appetizers Golden wing: Flavorless and the dipping sauces was nothing to write home about. Calamari: Flavorless, overcooked, The sauce was good. Meals: Pad Thai with chicken, it was good, flavorful and decently presented. Volcanic Shrimp : The meal came out cold, I mentioned it to the server she was very nice and took it back. She didn't go to far I could see and hear her place it in the microwave, the shrimp was fried so when it got to me it was chewy so I had to send back the entire meal. They were very nice about it and offered for me to order something else. I gave two stars because the place was clean and they were sweet but honestly in New York and specifically in this area there are better places to eat, that won't give you chewy microwaved shrimp. read more

They provided terrible service through Seamless and refused to give me a refund. I asked for a dish medium spicy and it looks like they dumped all the spice they had on it. They were also late and did not give me the free ice tea that you are supposed to get when you spend a certain amount. read more

Udom Thai - Udom Basil Lunch Special - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The hostess outside was very friendly and sweet. The food was fresh and flavorful. My cocktail was a little sweet for what I expected but it was good. My mom and sister used to frequent this restaurant and stopped because they said the quality went down. I bought her some food to go and she tasted everything I bought her and said she's excited to start ordering again because it used to be her factor Thai restaurant. The only thing negative I have to say was the behavior of the waitress about tipping. She was very aggressive towards my date which was a bit off putting. Other than actually giving us our food she didn't do much. I would've preferred to tip the hostess. I'll definitely be returning though. read more

Unsure why they have 3 stars. I've ordered multiple times in the last month. Pad Thai, roti, chicken satay, spring rolls, etc.--all super tasty at a great price! read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in Brooklyn! I especially recommend the duck thai herbal, but everything is delicious. The owner is a really nice person and cares a lot about her customers. Great place! read more

I have only ordered takeout 4-5 times but have always had a good experience. I tend to go for the spicy basil noodles (tofu or shrimp) and bok choy. read more

My son and I just visited nyc for his first time. We planned to take photos with the Brooklyn Bridge. So, we searched for a Thai restaurant in the area and found Udom Thai. We had Curry Puff, Barbeque Pork, Papaya Salad and Shrimp Tom Yum Fried Rice. All of them were deliciuos and tasted like we ordered specifically. We liked the barbeque pork the most as the pork was tender and fatless, tasting the mixture of Vietnamese and Thai spices - sooo perfect. Worth trying! Highly recommended! read more

This review is for the spicy basil flat noodles with shrimp. This tastes really good, but it only came with 4 large shrimp. Most entrees with shrimp elsewhere come with at least 6-8 jumbo shrimp. I feel kind of robbed. This is a cute, little spot and the customer service is good. read more

Udom Thai - Spicy Basil Noodles with Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We had such delicious takeout dinner from Udom! Fabulous phad Thai and SUCH yummy mango and sticky rice. The best Thai meal we've had in Brooklyn! read more

On a cold Sunday, I arose at 2 pm, surprisingly not hungover but desperately craving thai. There was no way that I was leaving the house but I really really wanted some pad thai. I found this place on yelp where it received mixed reviews. I didn't have high hopes to start off, but I still feel that if you call a place a "Thai" restaurant the ingredients should be fresh and the food should have alot of taste. I had craving for a couple of things so I ordered: basil beef - The sauce was ok but the ingredients were not good. Beef was overdone and barely submerged in the basil sauce. Subpar..the chinese restaurant across the street could make much better! Chicken pad thai - major disappointment, it tasted more like one of those do-it-at-home pad thai kits that come with rice noodles and a mix. It was gross, had barely any taste and the flavor that was present was not appetizing. A complete failure...but there was plenty of tasteless whitemeat chicken though! Papaya salad - WTF was this! It was full of thick slivered carrots and very little papaya and was just...nasty. Peanut dumplings or something like that - These were pretty yummy actually. The peanut dipping sauce was pretty good too! Ugh, I felt like a very unsatisfied and sad fatty! But to be honest, I only ate a little bit of everything and then served the rest to an unwanted houseguest who loved it! LOL! Idiot...and of course I felt guilty about it... See what bad thai does to you! read more

I have only ordered from Udom Thai once, and I will never make that mistake again. I live about three blocks from the restaurant, and it took over an hour and a half for delivery. My food arrived cold and had almost no flavor, and this whole experience set me back over $20. Easily some of the worst take out I have ever had. read more

I really, really wanted to give Udom a better review because they're in our neighborhood, but I just can't. I had panang curry, which was overly spicy without any real depth of flavor and the chicken didn't taste like chicken and was rock hard. My girlfriend had the Pad See Ew, and she ended up picking out the beef because it didn't have any flavor and looked and tasted like rubber. As for the feel of the restaurant, they use neon lighting under frosted plexiglass at the bar. It's kind of tacky. I will say, though, that the male waiter who was serving us was very sweet. read more

Well, it's safe to say this New Restaurant in the Hood has been tempting me for months and months. It has been sitting there looking like the shell of a restaurant since the summer and then finally it had a sign that said THAI FOOD COMING SOON in there maybe about two months ago. At that point I had already decided that this place is going to be the shit because it's a block away and it's Thai food, and as my dad says, Thai is the new Chinese. Then, what a surprise, I go in there and it's just exactly what I wanted out of my Thai food restaurant on the block!!!!! BYOB, neon bar (no drinks in it), real nice Asian waitresses, did I mention it's BYOB? Runch specials at 6 or 7 dollars, with spring roll AND soup (not OR soup). It's reasonable at night too!!! Eliza and I went. I had pad see ew (can someone PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHAT THIS REALLY IS sometimes it is flat noodles with brown and broc, sometimes it is spicy thinnies) that was $7. You know, I liked it, but to tell the truth I'm a real "quantity over quality" guy and would prefer to be chewing on a mountain-sized box of noodles with a little broc than a wide plate with lots of veggies, mitigating the huge number of noodles there could be (price, etc) so that was the only thing that kept me from giving it five stars, not enough noodles. Eliza got the "combination rice" or something that was TWELVE dollars but luckily it had all different kinds of fish in there. She seemed to enjoy it and we both had a great dinner AND THEY GAVE US 20% OFF THE BILL WHICH WILL BE HAPPENING UNTIL 1/5!!! BOOYA! For dessert, why not cross the street and get some sushi at Gen ;) LONG LIVE UDOM AND GEN - SIMULTANEOUS PAIR OF EXCELLENT RESTAURANTS (You might be interested you can go here noon - 10:30 on weekdays and then noon - 11:30 on weekend) read more

Udom Thai - Paper Rose in a Straw at Udom - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

3.9999999999 stars QUICK THAI DELIVERY. Extra points goes to them based on the delivery alone. Sorry. Look many places do NOT deliver to my hood (Nostrand/Atlantic) so any variety that is quick and nice is welcome. That said on to the food. My pad thai (based on reviews below i ordered it "spicy") was not too greasy and tasty and full of white meat chicken--- Now while this place is no destination or a place i would go if I REALLY wanted a thai food experience but for good delivery Thai on a cold night in the hood. They have my vote ---- read more

Ordered a chicken Hawaiian fried rice and a pad se ew. Got rice with no chicken and spring rolls instead of pad se ew. Called the restaurant, they argued about whether the rice contained chicken or not, and told us to dig through the dish because the chicken must be there somewhere. Dug through the dish with a fork, no chicken. Obviously we got a completely wrong order. Then, we overhear someone in the background saying that 'the customer is lying.' (!) They finally agree to bring the right order, but demanded they get the wrong order back. Were they going to serve this food to other customers after we dug through the whole dish in search of nonexistent chicken?! Ridiculous, uncourteous, unhygienic. read more

It's safe to say that with the addition of a Thai restaurant on Washington Avenue, the neighborhood isn't looking back. Next thing you know, we'll even get a coffee shop! I think there's enough hair salons and liquor stores already, don't you? And the surprising thing is, Udom ain't half bad. In fact, I would challenge you to come up with a better Thai restaurant in that great Yuppie haven to the West. I stopped in here for lunch on a random Monday and was pleasantly surprised to see the place half full, even at 2 PM. The service was lovely, and the lunch special was both reasonable in price and quantity of food: $6 gets you a full entree, vegetable dumplings, salad, and a spring roll. My chicken with garlic was very good, slightly sweet and made with white breast meat. So, welcome Udom to the 'hood, and may you live a long and happy life. Cheers! read more

Good food, good atmosphere and good service. It was late when my friends and I got there and we felt a bit rushed to order but they were closing the kitchen soon which was understandable. We ordered appetizers and our entrees which came our pretty quickly. The food was tasty and the prices were average. I would definitely go again. We didn't have time to try any of the desserts on the dessert menu but they look good too. Will be back! read more

wow, I don't know if I've just been incredibly lucky or if all the other reviews were incredibly unlucky or have unrealistic standards for thai food....but I have eaten at Udom at least three times and have only been pleased. I've had their grass noodles, pad thai, and shrimp fried rice and enjoyed them all. I have plenty of veggies and tofu and maybe 5 or 6 shrimps, which is decent. I did wish my pad thai had a little more spice and peanut sauce, but it didn't ruin my meal. I'm definitely going to eat there again, so you should give it a try, too! read more

Jeeze, I feel the need to give Udom some love - because it deserves it! This place is just around the corner from where I live and on my walk home from the subway. The dinner prices are slightly below average - $8 for curry and $7 for noodle or rice dishes (this if for vegetable and tofu options). I have their number programmed into my cell phone and can place a call when I'm at Vanderbilt and it's ready when walk in 5-10 minutes later. The green curry is fantastic and is what I end up eating almost once a week. I also love their Pad Ki Mao and suspect that the noodles are hand-made in the restaurant because they are very different (in a good way!) than any other place I've tried. So the food and the prices are good, but my favorite thing about Udom is the staff. Each time come in to order the cashier girl asks if I would like to have some water and strikes up a really nice little chat with me while I wait. I probably wouldn't go there as much she didn't make it such a pleasant experience. I'm thrilled that this place is in my neighborhood and am always pleased to note that each week it seems that more people are in the restaurant when I stop by. read more

amazing food, amazing vibes! i loved the duck roll; and the house roti. Also the spicy basil noodle is mouthwatering

Really? Did I get really lucky? My friend who lives in the area thinks not. He orders from Udom all the time. We got the pad thai, green papaya salad, calamari, and basil seitan. Everything was really good! I was particularly impressed with the basil seitan, it had great flavor and texture, and I am really quite the meat eater, so I think it's a good compliment for Udom! Yes, the pad thai could use a bit more peanut sauce or spice or both as Holly mentioned, but I think that can be resolved while ordering in the following fashion: Me: Can you please give me some peanut sauce on the side? Udom: Sure. See? Easy! Overall, I had a good experience. It took a little while for the food to come, but it was worth the wait. perhaps things have changed for the better and future reviewers will agree! read more

I was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised by many of the things on the menu. We only had delivery, so I can't comment on service or decor. Appetizers ======== Shrimp Dumplings: B- Not as flavorful as I was hoping. A bit dry. Golden Wings: A These are spectacular wings. Char-Broiled and tasty. Curry Puffs: A- Light, tasty and delicious. Only fault is that it tastes like it was cooked in margarine rather than real butter. Giant Shrimp Rolls: A Big shrimp coated with batter. Inside batter is buttery and soft. Outside is crispy. Absolutely delicious. Salmon Dumplings: F Inedible. Smelled like rotten fish. Grilled BBQ Pork: B Meat was rubbery and flavor was slightly weird - can't tell if the flavor is sweet or not. Some may like that faux-sweetness; I don't. Soup ==== Lemongrass Tom Yum Soup: B+ Lacking the "accoutrements" of Tom Yum (lemon grass stalks, kaffir lime leaves, etc) but otherwise a very, very nice flavor. I'd get it a second time. Tom Kha: C+ Terrible. Tasted like pure coconut milk with no lime, fish or spice at all. The ingredients were good: at least they used authentic straw mushrooms rather than button mushrooms. Chef's Signature Dishes ================== Mongolian Beef: B The noodles were awful. Wasteful calories. However, the dish is tasty. Sauce is great: brown and gingery but the beef is a tad hard to chew. Over all flavor is a tad too gingery (and I love ginger!) Roasted Honey Ribs: A Phenomenal cuts of meat. Nicely marinated and very well cooked. Not overly sweet. I loved these and would definitely order them again. Desserts ======= Mango Sticky Rice: C I just didn't care for it, but I'm not a huge fan of sticky rice. Beverages ======== Thai Iced Coffee: B- Nice flavor, but not enough cream/milk. Noodles ====== Pad Thai: UNRATED My wife ordered this but I didn't try it. Her comment was that the Pad Thai itself was very good -- she said she tasted the fish (nam pla) and lime flavors, but the chicken was dry as sand. read more

Boo. Boo! Shame on you, Udom. This food sucks. Someone should have paid ME to eat it. I ordered delivery for the first time tonight and got the pineapple red curry with tofu and veggies and the shrimp dumplings. BOO! The curry tasted like water. The vegetables are CLEARLY canned and old. The tofu is chewy. It was probably the most bland food I've ever had. And the dumplings are actually, legitimately, disgusting. They were cold to the touch, as in, chilled (so much for "steamed hot dumplings"). I understand it's delivery, but the guy got here super quick. They were clearly pulled from a fridge and probably wouldn't be good if I even heated them up. I just wasted $17 on a meal that was less appetizing than a Lean Cuisine, and probably four times the calories. Oh, AND I'm stoned and it didn't even taste good! Ick!! read more

Udom is an always-pleasing standby. I've never had a bad dish from here, neither take-out or dine-in. It's certainly not the most amazing Thai food anyone could ever ask for, but it's still very good (and it's in Prospect Heights... need I say more?). Take-out orders are always fulfilled very quickly -- once ordered, it's usually ready by the time I leisurely walk the three-ish blocks to pick up the food (giving a 5-min head start for good measure, of course). Favorites are: - Pad Thai (served not with a super-sweet, gooey peanut sauce like most places, but a tasteful coating of the rice noodles with crushed peanuts sprinkled on top, always with a lime wedge for flavor/garnish), - Pineapple Fried Rice (everything in the dish is always in perfect proportion and well-cooked -- my top favorite for sure). Bottom line: for a little cash, you can have a solid, delicious, filling, well-made meal in 10-15 minutes that will make you want to order from them again. read more

I've been going here since the place opened in 2007. The staff is always friendly and is pretty quick. I thought it wouldn't last, but they are still nice. It's not the best but it is tasty. It is the best chicken pad thai in the neighborhood, in my opinion. The pineapple fried rice is really good. I cannot say the same for the delivery. It is usually a wait and the food is not that consistent. You are better off making a trip into the place. Besides, it has a nice ambiance. read more

I ordered for delivery. The food was cold when it got here and honestly not worth the wait for the quality. Maybe eating in is different. read more

We ordered delivery from Seamless and weren't disappointed. Their spice barometer seemed to differ from ours, though. One friend ordered a curry with mild spice and there was zero. I ordered the basil fried rice with medium spice and there was just a hint of it. If you prefer spicier foods, perhaps order a step above what you'd normally choose. Other than that, my only other suggestion is to avoid the scallion pancakes. They aren't what you're imagining; they're dense triangles, almost gelatinous, with speckles of scallions. Dipped in soy sauce, they aren't terrible, but we were a bit shocked when we unpacked them. read more

I was walking by and decided to give it a try. I ordered the won tons to go and within an hour I was calling for dinner delivery. The Crispy Duck Fried Rice was new and I'm glad I tried it, it's become a new favorite. The Won Tons are the bomb :-) and the Jumbo Shrimp are also very good. read more

I order from this place all the time and it makes complete sense the myriad of reviews this places gets. A lot of times they're great, but when they suck, they REALLY suck. I once had an order of dumplings with peanut sauce and in one of the dumplings was a piece of steel wool. Yes. Steel fucking wool. I was shocked. I'm like I'm NEVER ordering from these people AGAIN! But I've never had any other problems with them and their food is fast, and usually delicious. I've introduced at least 5 other people to this place who have loved what they got - Pad Thai w/ shrimp is good. Pad See Ew, good. (Beef not so good) Crispy calimari can sometimes be slightly rubbery, but comes with a great plum sauce. Roasted cashew chicken is GREAT! Roommates love spicy basil rice. You get the picture. I'd say, take a chance on Udom Thai, especially if you live in the area. Every once in a while you get a dud, but in general it's solid, reasonably-priced, and fast delivery. read more

The food is great, but nothing life-changing. Awesome lunch special, and super fast, reliable delivery. Love the dumplings in peanut sauce, and the cashew nut with chicken is definitely a staple for me. Best in the 'hood, and great for those lazy-day-in deliveries. read more

I have eaten in the restaurant twice now, and ordered once. All three times the food has been delicious! The dishes are large, but not greasy or heavily sauced, and super reasonably priced. Last night my partner and I ordered 3 apps and an entree each, plus a large bottle of sake to split- bill came to $50- including tip!! We particularly the steamed broccoli app and the vegetable gyoza app. It's definitely a place that you just can't go wrong :) read more

Decent for what it is. I work frequently in Crown Heights, and this is within walking distance; so when the other options are pizza or bullet proof glass Chinese food, I'll take Udom's massaman curry and Thai iced tea. The service is fine. read more
