I want to say I never got the opportunity to try the food here but I was very unhappy when I left yesterday as I was very much looking forward to dining here. We had a candlelight concert down the block and I made a reservation for 8:30 last night. We arrived earlier than our reservation and were seated quickly. That was all fine and dandy. We ordered drinks relatively quickly as well. Great. Now onto the food. We wanted to order the moo ping, were told yes, then 5-10 minutes later told no they didn't have it. They recommended the dumplings, we said we'd look at the menu more, and she said okay and walked away. 5 minutes later we said okay sure we'll take the dumplings then were told oh sorry sold out. Not feeling so great by then but kept going. My husband went to order the duck. Guess what? No duck. We can do fish instead and he agrees as I become more agitated. Then I go to order the short rib. Guess what!? No short rib can we do sliced steak instead? No price change or anything when we asked either. So I was still supposed to pay a premium price for a less-than-premium cut. That's when I decided to leave. By the way this was like 30 minutes in, no other appetizers we ordered or the drinks ever touched our table. Felt like they meant for us to never be served as the table next to us got their appetizer (same one we ordered) before we did and they sat 15 minutes after us. Go to Khaosan down the block instead. read more

TLDR: Friendly, super accommodating staff, fresh food, strong Thai iced tea, and a calm early evening vibe - just wish the drunken noodles had a bit more punch (likely was because of dietary accommodations). Would def recommend! Honestly had a great experience at Xisan De Classic and would definitely come back. We stopped in around 5 PM on a weekend before a show nearby, and it was surprisingly empty, which was honestly perfect. We were seated right away and able to enjoy a relaxed meal without feeling rushed. The ambiance is cute and cozy, with bamboo lighting elements and subtle Asian-inspired decor. Bonus points for having clean restrooms!! The staff were incredibly friendly and super accommodating to dietary preferences. We needed dishes without fish sauce, shrimp, or oyster sauce, and they were happy to modify things, which made it very vegan / vegetarian friendly and much appreciated. We ordered a bunch of food and drinks: -Mango Fizz mocktail - refreshing and light think mango x lime flavors -Thai iced tea - one of the strongest I've had (in a good way!) - Chive pancakes (more like chive bites) - crispy with a great dipping sauce. I loved the sauce so much I asked for extra and poured it over my drunken noodles. - Drunken noodles - fresh and well cooked, but a little lighter in flavor (likely because of the modifications). Mostly tasted basil-forward and could've used a bit more depth. Friend ordered chicken satay, roti massaman, and mango sticky rice which she said all were really solid and satisfying. Overall, the food felt very fresh, service was warm and accommodating, and it was a great pre-show dinner spot. Just a small note that the drunken noodles could've used a little more flavor. read more

The takeout from here was excellent! We tried the branzino mango salad, shrimp pancake, and roti massaman. The pancake was my favorite--surprising and delightful combo of shrimp, bean sprouts, flavorful egg, and light, crispy fried salmon bites with a sweet spicy-ish sauce. The branzino was well-prepared, and the mango was a nice counterpoint, I think the entrée version might be better if you're wanting the full effect. The roti massaman was delicious, and not too spicy. Great thai food in Downtown BK! read more

Xisan de Classic is an Essan/Isan Thai restaurant on Montague St in Brooklyn Heights. They are bright, trendy, and have authentic Thai food to please western and eastern palates. Xisan offers outdoor seating (8?), bar seats (10), and a dining room with flexible 2 tops and three booths that seat 8 each. Decor is bright, airy yet down to earth, with lots of wood and woven lampshades strung from the high ceilings. The booths in the back have cozy curtains. The dining room leans casual, the bar feels more date night, the price point leans reliable neighborhood nice dinner. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, quick to accommodate spice tolerances and allergies. The staff speak Thai to each other (which is always a great sign!) and they're very fluent in English. Plates were delivered very quickly and the staff check in enough without hovering. I ordered: Papaya pok pok salad (hot, sweet, sour, peanuts). Tasty and tangy! Pad Korat noodles - a sweet soy based stir fried noodle with egg and crispy pork. I have to admit I didn't love this dish. The noodles were too sweet and the pork was overcooked. I won't let this stop me though, I really want to try more of the menu because it looks and sounds awesome. Clean bathrooms, the place is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, and note when they say spicy they really mean it. Best of luck Xisan! read more

Lovely dinner here with friends. As I've come to learn, Xisan specializes in Northeastern Isan cuisine. A nice experience to taste less common Thai dishes versus the ones that are popular in nyc. Although, the menu does have the classics as well. Service was friendly and prompt. The chef came out and served a few of the dishes and he was so smiley and jovial. That was nice to see. The interiors are cute and feel like you're eating in a South Eastern Asia marketplace which is a treat. These things really added to the overall positive experience. Got a few items to share family style and happy with each dish. Everything was flavorful, stand out for me was the red snapper. I did feel the sweet and sour sauce was quite plentiful but I liked that the fish was not covered in it so that you could add to your taste. Was too full for dessert this time, but I'd come back for the black sesame ice cream I peeped on the menu. read more

Delicious! Really unique, exotic regional Thai that's so flavorful and memorable. Can't wait to come back. Loved the nourishing pad ginger chicken and the crispy yet fluffy shrimp pancake with fried/crispy salmon. The pancake is especially a standout, unlike anything I've had before, sweet like a breakfast pancake yet tangy and savory and crispy. Big place with tons of seating for couples and groups. Coming back for their noodle dishes, skewers, and more. Shoutout to our waiter Chanikan who was so sweet and helpful - she had the best recommendations. 5 stars!!!! read more

We had a spontaneous lunch here which was a blessing because we were looking for our go to Thai take out place in the neighborhood. The lunch menu was a good deal with an app and an entree. We shared shrimp dumplings and rolls. The rad na noodles were unique and reminded me of a Chinese dish actually and the pad se ew was perfect with the right amount of white pepper powder. We were happy with our lunch here that we ordered food to take out a few weeks later which included the curry puffs, pad Thai and pad se ew. We will definitely try the skewers next time and this will likely remain our go to take out Thai place in Bk heights! read more

We got seated by the window on a nice summer day, with shade and breeze. The waiters were very attentive and kind, making sure we got everything we needed. We ordered the Moo Ping (grilled pork on skewers), Red Snapper, and Beef Noodle Soup. The portions were huge and we definitely couldn't finish as two. The Moo Ping and Beef Boat Noodle Soup were deep in flavor, but my favorite was definitely the Red Snapper. It was perfectly fried with a thin layer of crust on the outside and tender fish on the inside. I would recommend this place. There are other things on the menu I would come back for! read more

The service was constant -- I felt like there was someone watching our table at all times. If our water was low, it got topped off immediately. Yet, it was way too much. The restaurant sit below a martial arts place and it sounded like people were constantly falling to the floor in loud bangs, and it made it hard to focus on eating. The appetizers -- cremini mushrooms and shishito peppers were literally just a tasting and way overpriced. The beef soup my husband said was tasty but it was pricey for what it was and my glass noodles dish was extraordinarily spicy -- my fault for not asking about how relatively spicy it was -- but it made it hard to finish. Others may appreciate this place, but it wasn't for me. read more

Absolutely, hands-down, the best Thai food I have ever eaten in my life. I travel a lot, and I eat Thai food wherever I go. The food tasted amazing, everyone was friendly and very professional, such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. I had the chicken skewer to start, with a Yuzu margarita. And then I had the penne with slow cooked beef, short rib. ! I had to take a to go box because I could not possibly finish it all! read more

Best Thai food in Brooklyn. They offer a variety of Thai dishes outside of your classic Thai menu. The staff were super friendly and the flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. Started the night off with a lychee martini and Mai tai and ordered some small plates which were all wonderful. It was my first time trying Pad Korat noodles and I was pleasantly surprised. The balance of the noodle with the crispy pork was superb. Then ended the night with a yummy banana dessert. The ambiance was also great. I was seated at the table in the front of the restaurant near the bar. The table was an indoor/outdoor space so I was able to enjoy a nice dinner with the cool and crisp fall breeze. This will be my new go-to Thai spot in Brooklyn. Looking forward to trying the other dishes on the menu. read more

Xisan De Classic is my go-to spot in Brooklyn when I'm craving authentic Esan-Thai food. The dishes are so flavorful without being too heavy, and the variety of meats, seafood, and veggies is super fresh. Our favorite dishes recently have been the Chinese broccoli with crispy pork and the grilled branzino with spicy seafood sauce! The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and quick to help explain the menu if you're new to Thai food. Perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or a romantic date night. Highly recommend! 100/10!!!!! read more

Arguably the best restaurant in Brooklyn Heights. Authentic, fresh, expertly prepared traditional northern Thai cuisine. Excellent service, warm and friendly staff. The place is super clean and fun to be in. Montague Street has been a very difficult location for sustained dining experiences. Restaurants come and go. Let's hope Xian De Classic is here to stay! read more

The food is fresh and absolutely delicious! Very reasonable priced. The staff were excellent!! The veg rolls are my favorite - ever!

Some of the best Thai food in the neighborhood. Many dishes unusual for a US based Thai menu. Flavors are bold and full of spice. Service is extremely attentive. Perhaps even a little too attentive. Ambience is modern sophisticated with pleasant Thai touches. read more

Excellent addition to the neighborhood. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant, but I think this will be our new go-to for delivery now. Everything was really delicious, not too spicy, not too sweet. read more

Beautiful ambiance, friendly service and, most importantly, flavorful fresh food preparation.

Food, service and ambiance were all great! My partner and I saw that it was a new spot in our neighborhood so we popped in for happy hour. We got shrimp pork gyoza and duck roti. For drinks we got Pinot Grigio and beer on draft. Everything was tasty, but we really liked the service! read more

reason for two stars is bc people are so nice and service was great. . food was not good (kind of uck actually). shishito peppers (two skewers w 4/5 pepeprs on each) and edamame were w soggy/tasteless (and portions were tiny). entrees were not remotely tasty. cocktails were nothing special/sweet drinks and would not recommend. note: tried twice. review based on second chance. unfortunate. read more
