Super busy location since it's off St. Marks. Service was fast and good, ambiance is cute. The food we had was all good. I had the Pad Thai, dynamite wings, while friends had the Khao Soi, Fried rice, Pad see ew. All of it was good, but super sweet. Pitchers of Mojito for $30. Careful because they will add on automatic gratuity. We were quoted a shorter wait time, but because people refused to leave their table.
Very impressed by the hospitality. Came as a group of 6 and our server immediately provided in-depth descriptions and combination suggestions to fill our table spread. And every dish is amazing! Love the garnishing and sauces. Wish the serving sizes were bigger--but the quality makes up for that. We ordered the Phuket pitcher, which reminds me of a Long Island, and highly recommend it. Strong and a great drink to share.
Very unique thai food. Ive been to this restaurant twice and each time I've had something different. Their take on thai food is different from your average restaurant. Their pad thai uses a different type of noodle which is thinner. The Ka-Pi fried rice was such a unique dish, its use of fish paste is definitely an acquired taste, and had a very delicious mix of ingredients. I also had a curry that I couldnt remember the name of -- it had blood cubes, a chicken drumstick, and eggplant. That dish was delicious but incredibly spicy, be warned.
4.5 stars bc why did i love this place? Reviews put it at a very mid rating, but i had a very enjoyable meals here. We got the pad thai and the curry and both were actually very very good. We got a lychee pitcher and it was suuuuper tasty. Great price point too. It definitely brings the nearby nyu students, but i can see why. Good food, cheap drinks, good ambiance. Very cute and dim lit, but was lively enough to go about our conversation in a casual setting. Service was very attentive and informative. Definitely will be back here, what a hidden gem.
Food was just okay, but honestly what more can you expect from a $12 lunch deal. It comes with an app, a soup/salad, and a main. Like, you're definitely getting bang for your buck, so I can't complain. I thought the spring rolls were lovely and crispy, and I ordered the peanut sauce chicken. It was good enough, but I think I was just hoping for the sauce to be more integrated with the chicken and the broccoli. The way it was served was that it was literally just boiled chicken and broccoli with a heaping of peanut sauce on top. The sauce was yummy, just wasn't exactly the most appetizing or the best peanut chicken I've had. But if you're looking for a good deal for lunch, you can't really go wrong here.
Came here for dinner with some others, I split the Crispy Mango Fish & Ka-Pi Fried Rice with my partner. The fish comes with a good amount of fish and true to the name with a nice crisp. The fish was nice and moist, and the mango salad really helped to cut the oiliness of the fish--making for a mouth watering combination. The fried rice probably makes my list of top 3 fried rices I've had. The lap chung is cut into small pieces that add a nice chew to each mouthful. The Thai chili's are pretty spicy, but you can easily move them to the side if you have mild-medium spice tolerance only like me. The table shared a pitcher of the Phuket, where the pineapple flavor really helped to mask/balance out the alcohol. I don't usually drink very much, but I finished out a whole glass! Very refreshing drink that goes well with the food/adds a nice tropical note to the meal. Lighting is pretty dim here, but they really set a chill mood with candles (see picture). The servers were very attentive, and kept the water glasses filled to the brim.
Can't believe I didn't know about Klong until now! I feel like I've missed out all these years but now that I know, I've definitely added it to my list of spots to visit when I'm in that area the late night happy hour is great. The drinks were strong and the food even better! Definitely get the wings and the shrimp! The rice was just ok in my opinion but great fuel for a night out.
The food is honestly kind of mid, but you come here for the vibes and good deals, not a Michelin star meal. They have good deals on pitchers and the drinks taste a bit too dangerously good, if you know what i mean. The servers are super friendly as well and Klong is always a fun time with friends!
