    Excellent Thai food and a great addition to the neighborhood! Everything was well done, and the inside decor is lovely. It’s a great place to grab a bite with a partner or friend (it’s small inside however) and it’s BYOB right now (eventually they will serve cocktails). The service was prompt and friendly, and we’ll definitely be back. I’ve eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants and homes, and this place hits the spot!

    I had a group of people having dinner here, so I tried many different dishes. The best was curry puff, I never had this type of food. It seemed fried and heavy but actually it was lighter than I expected, and the dough was a bit chewy which I really liked! Drunken noodle and beef dishes were so yum, my pad thai was also good but next time I'd get drunken noodle :) I don't recommend steam veggie dumplings, it had almost no taste😂 Somehow it took very long to serve the main dish, like more than an hour after the order, even other members who came later got it first. Atmosphere was nice, well decorated with gold, loved the gold cups, very kind staff, and the bathroom was clean. But it's a tiny space, there are a few tables:) Overall, it's a nice place! I enjoyed so much!

    Even though it's small inside, the decor of the place really made it stand out among the other restaurants surrounding it. They had good prices as well, both of our meals were ~$16 each, drinks were about ~$5. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and they were fantastic. Had a small kick to them spice wise, and great flavor to them. The curry was delicious as well, very creamy but not overly sweet. We also got the Dang Soda, it is supposed to have a sweet and sour taste with popping bubbles but it was a little too sweet for my taste. I did get the Honey Yuzu Soda and loved the light citrus flavor, would recommend. They have a lot more interesting drinks, as of this review they had a BYOB sign, and the menus had no beer / cocktails in them. Overall a great experience with the food, and the waitress was adorable and super friendly. My last note is kindly requesting to consider the bugs. One had fallen from the decorations above almost into my food, and letting our server know was not much of reaction other than giving us a new napkin, it did impact the experience a bit as I was pretty conscious of it afterwards. 🥺

    Found this place on our way back to hotel after visiting Hudson Yards. And the small place but cozy and lucky to get a seat to have our dinner and the waitress very friendly and efficient even though she is working alone at front. The food is really good. My fav is the beef salad, so fresh and delicious. The sauce for fried fish dish is a bit bland, didn’t go well with the crispy fried fish.

    The food was great! , the best pad Thai 🍲I've ever eaten! I recommend everyone to come and try it, the atmosphere inside is great, cozy and elegant. I also recommend taking tea, I don't remember the last time I drank such good tea 🍵

    We had the pleasure of dining at The Thonglor in New York for an unplanned lunch, and it was a delightful experience. We opted for the Thai green curry and drunken noodles, both of which were bursting with authentic Thai flavors. We also received complimentary spring rolls as part of the lunch menu! It's a restaurant worth discovering for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.

    Thonglor is a relatively new Thai restaurant in an area already saturated with a lot of Thai restaurants, but its food, ambience, service, and prices make it a worthy competitor. The interior is small with limited seating, and decorated lavishly and beautifully in gold. The menu is large with a diverse array of curries, noodles, rice, etc. dishes to choose from. The server gave us a complimentary bowl of shrimp chips to start. We ordered Golden Curry Puffs as an appetizer, which were wonderful— crispy exterior with a soft, warm interior bursting with savory flavor. For the entree, I was craving some mock duck, so I ordered the Stir-Fried Eggplant with Mock Duck ($2 extra). It was well-sautéed, well-spiced, and very filling. I do wish there was more mock duck in the dish though, as the ratio felt a little off. My friends ordered the Khao Soi and Sweet Sausage Fried Rice, and enjoyed them. They are currently working on getting a liquor license, so they don’t sell cocktails yet even though they’re listed on the menu. The ones on the menu looked unique and delicious though, so I’d love to come back to try them once they get their license! Currently, it’s BYOB. Overall, the prices are reasonable and pretty standard (often cheaper too) relative to surrounding Thai restaurants. My friends and I came for dinner, but the lunch special is among the best I’ve seen— ~$11 for most options. The staff are also extremely kind and friendly. — Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

    The decoration of golden leaves was beautiful. I went during lunch. The inside also has golden leaves on the ceiling and was very clean. It was not so busy. People chat lightly. Ordered pad Thai and Tom kha soup. The soup was relatively thick in texture with a sweet and sour taste. Pad Thai was a bit unusual but also great. The sauce on the noodles is a bit red. It looks like some ketchup was used when stir frying, not too sure. It made the dish sweeter and more sour than other pad Thai. Personally this is a little too sweet for me, but it’s a good innovation. They gave me a bowl of crispy rice for free, which was really nice. The waitress lady was very nice and sweet from the start to finish. Lunch special made this meal only 13 dollars. Overall, this is a great experience. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.

    Went for a midweek dinner and was just slightly disappointed with the slow service.. took a while for the food to come out and there was only 1 other table of people! Food was delicious when it came though.. a very big menu.. we just went for some dumplings and a green curry!
