    I think I went off the grid and ordered a non traditional Thai dish on my first visit here. Granted, most of the menu outlines dishes unfamiliar to me since they're noted as authentic, Northern Thai cuisine with "street" food selections. When an initial check in (can't delete check ins on Yelp) at a local Greek spot didn't work out, we landed here. And it was getting to be on the later end of the night so we wanted something "light". Decor was gorgeous and our server was friendly albeit a bit lackluster in terms of service. I found it odd since there weren't many patrons at all, but she was super nice. I ordered a Jasmine tea (huge cup) to accompany the Steamed Chicken dish with Ginger rice. A side bowl of broth was part of the meal. So I've had Steamed Chicken at Chinese spots and hoped theirs would be similar. It wasn't. The most off putting thing was the soft skin still attached to the boneless Chicken of which I hurriedly swallowed a piece. The chicken was bland but the side dipping sauce jazzed it up a bit. The rice had the Ginger flavor but the broth was too salty. I used some of it to wet the chicken. I'm summary, I'm meh on my experience here but won't write it off. Will give it another try and update my review. Stay tuned.

    Side note: At least for now, they're using the same website as the old Ghang Thai for ordering but it seems they're making a site via Toast (which means you can order from there eventually which is good as the prices will be more reasonable for delivery compared to Grubhub/Seamless.) Other side note: As per below, if you order spicy here, it'll be very spicy (upper my tolerance and I am used to very spicy food.) I'd recommend mild or medium for folks used to let's say Pad Kee Mao. Anyway, this is the newest of the many (many) Thai spots in the area but this one is a bit different. While their lunch special mainly has the standard Thai dishes outside of a few notable exceptions like Pad Ped, Num Tok, and Yen Ta Fo, the main specialty of the restaurant is Northeastern Thai, i.e. Isan food. It's my personal favorite region for Thai food as I like the spicier, sourer, and bitterer side of it. The closest thing are a couple dishes at Boran which is a good 15 minutes walking away from here in Carroll Gardens. I went with the Yum Naem Kow Tod to go shortly before they closed for $19.00 listed as "crispy rice & soured pork sausage. Double fried rice croquettes with sausage, kaffir lime, ginger, chilies, mint, and roasted peanuts." The staff in front was nice and the music was light and as noted, they were closing soon. This is one of my favorite dishes from Isan and I've had it at their other spot along with some places in Elmhurst. I ordered spicy which was a slight mistake but it was delicious. A bit of crunch, a bit of sourness and sweetness from the sai ua/northern Thai sausage and the kaffir, and some nuttiness. It was excellent though I'd likely order medium next time if I wanted to not have to drink a good amount with the dish. Just as good as the other location so nice to have this dish around here.

    pork skewers

    A genuine authentic northern Thai restaurant in the heart of Cobble Hill. Just a heads up their spice level is drastically different to what the normal person deems as spicy so choose accordingly! The pork skewers we ordered were extremely tender and flavorful. Definitely a must order for the table! Loved the papaya and fried rice pork salad. A really great place to grab dinner with friends. The servers are super sweet and attentive. The only issue we had was there was a sign outside that read cocktails, wine and beers were discounted during happy hour but when we ordered cocktails they had charged us full price and told us cocktails were not included in the promotion.

    @zabbputawn with Michelin-starred Chef Therdtus "Tony" Rittapromis offering an authentic taste of Northeastern Thai cuisine is easily added to my fave Thai places list . Everything served is so flavorful and gave me a memorable impression. I was genuinely impressed by both the food and the atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the warm lighting and subtle Thai decor created a cozy, welcoming vibe. Northern Style Pork Ribs are so tender and juicy without being overcooked. Crispy Duck Red Curry had a rich coconut flavor with just the right kick of heat. The vegetables were cooked to perfection -- not mushy, not raw. Whether you're a longtime fan of Thai food or a newcomer eager to explore authentic flavors, this restaurant promises a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended ! What we ordered : - Gaeng Hunglay ribs (Northern Style Pork Ribs Stew) - Chef Tony's Winning award from Rib King NYC 2022. It's a must ordered dish ! - Crispy Whole Red Snapper with Tamarind Sauce - Crispy Duck Red Curry - Gaeng Om Isan Style Soup with dark meat chicken and vegetable.

    Hopefully I labeled everything correctly here -- Our group of 3 ordered 4 dishes to share. We were hungry and everything was delicious -- the sausage was surprisingly my favorite though my neighbor liked the salad best. And my son seemed to like everything! The place was calm and the waitstaff were pleasant. Many of the dishes were spicy though I'd think that one could ask them to be prepared less so. The menu also labeled well -- gluten-free and vegan items. Well done!

    Be aware. The sign reads 4pm but they meant to say 3pm

    Taste is just average but be aware of the lunch special scam. They place a handwritten sign for lunch special till 4pm but once you enter, they proceeded & showed me a printed menu with lunch special till 3pm. When I pointed out the wait person said "oh the owner has to change that ( outside hand written sign ) " and she offered me to have appetizer that I've get from lunch menu but she never did. A few other customers came in after me inquiring lunch special so the scam signage is definitely working. I would value honestly in business so I would not return.

    Blue crab papaya salad
    Benjamin B.

    Thai restaurant with a focus on the northeastern Thai food of Isan. Originally located in the Upper East Side, this location in Cobble Hill makes for a strong new addition to the many Thai restaurants in the neighborhood. The decor feels kind of what you'd expect and the restaurant itself feels like a really long hallway although the table spacing is kept comfortable. Although they have the standard fare you see at most Thai restaurants across the US, this place really shines in dishes with flavor. We ordered a variety of things and ate family style to try things out. The waitstaff are quite nice and accommodating, also seemed like they were all speaking Thai to each other which is honestly a bit of a surprise considering this isn't even their main location. The Isan style papaya salad, som tum pu, comes with some absolutely delicious marinated blue crab pieces. Everything in the salad is just deeply savory and seafoody with a pleasant amount of heat, more-so than a lot of other Thai restaurants in the city but nowhere close to unbearable. Maybe not for you if funk and seafood isn't your thing but it was probably my favorite papaya salad I've had in the city. The laab moo kua was super flavorful and also pleasantly spicy. The dish had a really nice balance of textures between the ground pork, crispy skin (that is kept super crunchy by leaving it on the side, outside of the sauce), and the crunchy cartilage and the spices and chiles keep everything feeling quite light. The naem gradook moo are these deep fried, cured pork ribs that are deeply crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I honestly find lots of skewers and grilled meats at Thai restaurants really disappointing because they lack the char and crisp that I'm looking for with that type of food but this dish fully satisfies that need. Although there are certainly some people who will find the meat to bone ratio disappointing or even a bit too much work for the reward, I personally found that gnawing to be just pretty satisfying and a bit nostalgic. Only complaint is that the dish comes served with slivers of raw onion and some massive slices of raw ginger. Maybe it is custom to just gnaw on some ginger to cleanse your palette but it just feels like a bit much and I was the only one who even tried it. Just a bit of explanation of what to do with it would be nice, silly as it may sound. The yen ta fo noodle soup is fairly mild seafood soup brimming with toppings. The broth tastes like a mix between a clean pork broth and a bit of funk and savoriness from the red soybean paste. The seafood was all satisfying although kind of made me wish I had the massive sweet prawns common to South East Asia. A surprise delight was the snow fungus which just gave a little soft, slightly crunchy textural experience while also serving as a perfect little mop for broth. Only disappointment was the nuer yang. The beef suffers from being cooked a bit too much to be really beefy and tender but also lacking the char I would want from a grilled marinated meat. The jaew dipping sauce was lightly sweet and salty although I would have loved more depth or spice. Not even really a bad dish by any means but just really disappointing considering how good everything else was. This is definitely a product of how new the restaurant is to the neighborhood but this restaurant hits the holy trinity of being easy to get into, pretty reasonable in price, and just plain delicious. I can't imagine that the first point will last all too long but even with a wait, this restaurant deserves to stand alongside the other really great Thai eateries in the city although a lot of the flavors and textures here are really quite catered to my palate and what I grew up with. Honestly, my only complaint is that I want to try other dishes next time I'm here but I also want to relive some of the bites I've already had.

    Staff are attentive and preempted my accommodations for the kids (straws, plastic plates etc)…read more Very adorable and filling meals. I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well.

    The restaurant is bright and clean. The staff is friendly. Food overall is decent…read more The cucumber salad: first bite was just ok. But after a few bite, it gets better. The scallion sauce isn't too strong and no aftertaste lingering like garlic sauce. If you're not allergic to peanuts, definitely add the peanut bits. It adds an extra flavor. 8/10 The woodear salad: very vinegary and crunchy. 9/10 The potato salad:crunchy and the flavor is just right. Mild spicy. 8/10 The original soup noodle: too mild. Barely any flavor. 5/10 The mala pork intestine soup noodle: I got the regular spiciness level and it was actually quite spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, try mild or medium first. The pork intestine is bit chewy. Otherwise the flavor is good. 8/10 The seafood tom yum soup noodle: mild tom yum flavor. The soup base is slightly on the sour side. Overall is good. 8/10 Thai style soup noodle: the soup flavor is good. Not too spicy. 9/10 We also tried the brown sugar rice cake: it's just ok. Not crunchy enough. The brown sugar is missing some caramelized flavor. So it is a sweet rice ball. 5/10 I think the temperature inside would be fine if you go during a cool day. When it's a hot day, the restaurant could get very hot even if they turn on both ACs. With just 2 ACs insides, and eating a hot bowl of spicy soup noodle, we were all sweating inside. Though the food is good, I would not return during summertime. It's just too hot to enjoy a good bowl of hot soup noodle.

We walked into a simple, fast casual setup that focuses more on the food than the atmosphere, with a clean, functional space designed for quick meals and takeout rather than lingering. The ordering counter is straightforward, and the staff moves efficiently, keeping the flow moving even during busy lunch periods. The hand pulled noodles are the biggest highlight, with thick, chewy strands that have a satisfying texture and hold onto the sauces well. We ordered a few different noodle dishes, and the flavors leaned bold with chili oil, spices, and savory seasonings that give the dishes their signature Shaanxi style profile. The stewed pork and beef options were both generous and filling, but the lamb dishes stood out with a strong cumin flavor that brought a deeper, more aromatic taste to the table. The lamb burger is another unique item, combining seasoned lamb with a crispy, handheld format that feels different from typical restaurant offerings. The noodles themselves are the main draw, but the lamb burger is worth adding to the order if you want to try something beyond the bowl. Service is quick and efficient, making it a convenient option for lunch or a casual dinner. Portions are generous for the price, and the menu has enough variety to try different dishes across multiple visits. The spice level can be adjusted, but many dishes naturally lean toward bold and spicy flavors, so keeping that in mind is worth it if you prefer milder food. Xi'an Famous Foods is a reliable spot for anyone craving hand pulled noodles and strong, flavorful Chinese dishes. The chewy noodles, cumin lamb, and unique menu items make it stand out from more traditional Chinese restaurants, especially for a quick meal that still feels distinctive and satisfying. It is not a place for a long, leisurely dinner, but for a fast, flavorful bowl of noodles that delivers on texture and spice, it hits the mark well.

The dumplings were filled with meat and fried with a skirt. The cheese part was topped over it like a melty dressing, so a delicious and special dish here. Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls.
