Top Three Thai Restaurants in New York City

New York City has a huge selection of fabulous Thai restaurants. Narrowing down to the top three took a while, but your definitely should not make a trip there without checking out these three local Thai restaurants. The city is large, so plan ahead to get to where you are going!

Pongsri Thai Restaurant is a local favorite among the legal set in New York City. This little Thai place is located right outside of the courthouse in Chinatown at 106 Bayard Street, New York, New York, 10013. The setting is sort of vintage cafeteria inspired, but no one really eats here for the décor. The dining room has that trendy wood paneling from the nineteen seventies. A few Thai "artifacts” do what they can to set the mood, but the real deal can be found on the plate. Pongsri Thai Restaurant has an extensive menu with all of the expected Thai dishes. Chicken satay is especially good here. I don’t know if there is something in the dipping sauce or if their incredibly low prices and large portions make everything taste better. There is no better way to t appeal to an American’s heart then to give them a large plate of food for a very small price. They also serve very nice curries and a variety of Pa Nang. My favorite item on the menu though is their Black sticky rice. It is served with coconut milk and definitely is a must have. I definitely recommend sharing your lunch with someone so you can save room for dessert.
