    Basil Fried Rice
    Pratima M.

    An outpost of a popular Thai spot tucked into Time Out Market on the ground floor -- I've been meaning to try their Manhattan restaurant for a while, so this was a great way to sample some flavors. Their Basil Fried Rice was delicious and hearty, with a pretty large serving size -- it was plenty filling to split. I appreciate they have so many vegetarian-friendly options. The market has a limited menu, but this has inspired me to hit up the actual restaurant too!

    Came here recently to get my Thai food fix and was super happy. This is an outpost in Time Out Market in DUMBO. It can be a bit tricky to find this spot as it's in the very back of the maze of different food spots. We ordered the dumplings and the drunken noodle with chicken. Both were made so well. The dumplings were juicy, chock full of delicately spices chicken, wrapped in paper and fried crispy on the outside. What a crunchy pocket full of delight!! The sweet sauce that came with the dumplings, accompanies it so well. The drunken noodle was also so delicious. Noodles come in bite size portions with thin slivered chicken and fried basil. I loved this dish. I aired for extra spicy and they did not disappoint. They even gave me chili pepper on the side which was super spicy and hit the spot for me. I highly recommend coming here and trying their food, especially if you're not in the mood to trekk all the way to the city to their restaurant. I will definitely be back to try more options on their menu, especially the chicken wings. Those looked amazing.

    Red curry with beef
    Aleena G.

    Cute little spot to get a Thai craving. The food is very good with decent price meals. I got the red curry with beef yesterday and the broth was very tasty with the right amount of spice. There is also some seating area so you can simply watch as they make your food haha. Great service and good local spot :)

    Scallion & Egg Fried Rice

    I ordered from my table and the food was delivered to my table in good time. I ordered the scallion & egg fried rice- it was perfectly cooked & flavored.

    Pad Se-ew
    Elianny S.

    This is one of the many food spots in the Time Out market at 55 Water Street. There are a bunch of different food stalls and plenty of seating throughout the market. If the weather is nice, I would recommend eating outside so you can enjoy the beautiful views of the Manhattan Bridge. I ordered the Pad Se-ew with chicken. The food is definitely overpriced, and any protein is charged as an add-on. The food came out quickly, and it was good, not great. This area caters to tourists, so most places tend to be overpriced for no reason. Keep your expectations to a minimum, and you won't be disappointed.

    Pad Thai with Egg and Chicken Wings.
    Cindy Z.

    With so many choices in the Time Out Market, I decided to eat at Wayla as the chicken wings looked really good. It was a busy day, so the food took 15 minutes to be ready. I ordered the Pad Thai with Egg ($15) and Chicken Wings ($14). The wings were crispy and good, but could use a bit more sauce. They were decent-sized, but overall pricey for 7 prices. As for the pad thai, it was okay. Nothing too special about this one, but I didn't want to wait in another line for different food. Nothing too special about this spot and a bit pricey as with all the spots inside of Time Out Market.

    Wayla serves up their fair share of good Thai food in NYC's Brooklyn area; aka Dumbo. Was excited to seem them located in the TimeOut Market. The staff was welcoming and the line moved quickly. On this visit I decided to try the See Krong Moo Yang, "ribs" and Peek Gai Tod - "chicken wings". The food was great and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the Dumbo area.

    thai tea & drunken noodles with beef
    Thea A.

    thai tea was delicious and refreshing, drunken noodles were good also. though, i wouldn't mind sprinkling some chicken boullion on top for more flavor. its a bit difficult to find seating inside, especially if you're a large party so i recommend finding a seat first. they have qr codes on the tables and they serve the food out to you!!!! this market/food hall is a short walk from dumbo and its a great spot to take friends and family who are visiting the area. that said, prices are a bit high, especially if you want to add meat to your dishes. my cousin and his gf got chicken pad thai (mid) and beef pad see ew (too sweet)

    Fried rice
    Daniel L.

    This is inside the Timeout market. I got the fried rice and my friend got a Pad Thai. Kind of pricey but it was good! The staff was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

    Probably the best pad Thai I've had on the east coast! One star minus is because of the steep price--$25? For pad Thai with tofu. Everything is add on: tofu, shrimp, chicken, etc. service was super friendly and nice. Not sure whether traditional flavor but definitely authentic and delicious. Would try the independent location next time.

    Spicy basil fried rice
    Ayesha A.

    Stopped in the Timeout Market after attending an event at Sohoworks. Decided on Wayla because the Thai food display looked really good. Ordered the spicy basil fried rice with fried chicken thighs. This food was so good. It looked good but it tasted even better than I expected. I couldn't stop eating it.

    Pad Se-Ew with Beef.

    At this limited menu outpost in the Time Out market, I rolled the dice between drunken noodle and pad se ew, and i added beef as my protein. This time the pad se-ew came up and it was as fantastic as the reviews. I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind a chain of these around the city.

Our group of 4 started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few appetizers to share, namely: Som tum papaya salad and dumplings curry. For the main entree, my eyes caught the attention of clay pot mix-fried rice with shrimp, chicken, sweet sausage, and my partner chose shrimp pad thai. Nothing really stood out with the dishes; I found it to be a bit Americanized, having eaten in so many Thai restaurants around New York City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here; our food came in timely fashion, and the customer service is good as well, but it's probably not your place if you are seeking a more authentic Thai-style cooking.

The shrimp donuts were a must!! Famous for its crispy, savory, and addictive flavor. Easily our favorites!! The Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns brought real heat, creativity, and tang. We also tried the crispy chicken with egg noodles, which was rich, saucy, crunchy, and a fun twist on comfort food. Our dessert was mango coconut sticky rice which was soft, sweet, and the perfect finish!!

PLEASE get the mango stick rice cocktail omg it was gone in like 5 sips because it was so good. The tuna ceviche was so refreshing and the sauce had a little kick to it which I absolutely loved! It was like a sprinkle of Thai on a classic tuna ceviche. Note the taro chips are a little thicker than a typical chip! The pork jowl wasn't as crispy as I expected but it was still flavorful and the portion size was huge, considering how it was an appetizer. We got pineapple lychee crispy duck, crab fried rice, and kana crispy pork over rice as our entree. ALL WERE SO GOOD! The curry for the pineapple lychee crispy duck was so creamy and flavorful, with the duck portion being huge and being the perfect texture. I loved that it was crispy and didn't get soggy fast in the curry. The crab fried rice was top tier as there were SO MANY HUGE CRAB PIECES!! You can definitely tell that it had flavors of seafood/crab.. they did not skimp out! And the kana crispy pork over rice was huge portion as well, but note that it was a big strong/saltier than the other dishes. For dessert, the pandan coconut pudding custard was SO yummy. It was warm and so flavorful and creamy!! I fell in love with Brooklyn even more after coming here. Highly recommend!!

Loved that every table had fresh flowers; you can tell they really care about the little details. We ordered quite a bit and honestly, everything was on point: · Lychee Thai Iced Tea & Yuzu Pop - both refreshing and not too sweet (huge plus for me since I don't have a big sweet tooth). · Moo Ping - solid start to the meal. · Salmon Mango (GF) - the salmon was cooked through (which I asked for), and the mango salad underneath was light and tangy. The sweet fruit with the savory fish worked way better than I expected. · Pineapple Fried Rice - came with shrimp, nice wok aroma, and that perfect sweet-tangy pineapple kick. · Pineapple Lychee Crispy Duck (GF) - duck skin was nice and crispy, and the coconut-based sauce with lychee and pineapple kept it from feeling heavy or greasy. · Branzino Chili Lime (GF) - came out piping hot, classic Thai-style sour broth that paired perfectly with the fish. No fishy taste at all, and the texture was tender. Even the drinks and dessert weren't overly sweet, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, really enjoyed the meal here -- flavors are solid, service was friendly, and you can feel the effort they put into the experience. Definitely coming back!

The food was so authentic - we ordered: 1. shrimp pineapple fried rice, the shrimp was perfectly crispy and the flavors of the pineapple fried rice were so delicate, it complemented it very well!

I tasted lemongrass too, which is usually missing in a lot of the Americanised restaurants. The rice was perfectly cooked. 3. Rose petal- the drink was delicious it had lychee boba in it. So good!

    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.

The restaurant is tiny, so be sure to make a reservation. As a lover of spicy food, the spiciness in the dishes really brought out such a great flavor. Since my friend didn't eat as spicy, we found a happy medium getting just slightly spicy dishes which were all fantastic. We ordered the Khao Soi ($33) and Pla Tod Nam Pla ($40). The khao soi wasn't too spicy, especially since the broth has a creaminess and the spicies are on the side before mixing, which you can exclude. The chicken was so tender, but did come with bone so this can be trickier to share. Then the pla tod really surprised me, but I can definitely see why it's the best seller. It is a fried branzino with a marinated fish sauce which goes so nicely with all the crunch. There are a few remaining pieces of bone, so be careful. The fish had a nice balance of fish meat and crunchy skin. If you're looking for a unique Thai spot, this is it. Also, perfect spot for spicy lovers too. They also offer a huge selection of alcohol.

My partner was running late, and even though the place is clearly very popular right now, they still accommodated us with a table. The staff explained every unfamiliar dish we asked about, always with a smile. I usually avoid the standard NYC Thai restaurant lineup of pad thai + generic curry situations and look for places that feel more regional and authentic. The menu here had a bunch of dishes I didn't recognize, which immediately made me excited. They even have a spice guide though the icons don't necessarily mean increasing spice levels. As I understood it, different symbols represent different types of heat. Three chili emojis and three meteor emojis may be equally spicy, but they hit differently. They recommended not to order the pad krapow nuer, and honestly, fair enough. Instead, we got the chicken khao soi, which was far better than versions I've had elsewhere - deeply flavorful, spicy, rich with umami. My partner was crying. I, meanwhile, was at "this is perfect and I'm having a great time." One Huge chunk of chicken cooked exactly right. Mix everything thoroughly before eating. Then came the kua kling which arrived with another warning. That dish became my personal challenge to impress the server, and apparently I succeeded because now they've promised that next time they won't discourage me from ordering the nuer. They kept refilling cabbage and cucumber for us to cool down from the heat. The kua kling itself was incredible. That dry curry heat was everything. It builds slowly, then suddenly punches you in the face - but alongside all that spice is an insane amount of flavor. They also recommended to order a non-spicy side dish to have a balanced meal and spice level, but we skipped it because it would've been too much food. Honestly, this is the kind of place where going with at least four people is ideal so you can try more dishes and balance the spice levels. And if you're unsure what to order, trust the servers - their recommendations were spot on. Also: really great ciders and beers. We were really happy with both choices. Overall, even though it's far from the city for me, I'd absolutely go back.

What I personally liked is the 2 dishes took a bit, not slow or long but IMHO taking a little bit always seems it was cared for in prep. Who knows just my thing.

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.
