finally tried this place after walking by it a few times and honestly wish i had gone sooner. the food was packed with flavor and everything tasted really fresh. got a couple dishes to share and every one of them was good, especially the curry. portions were decent and prices felt pretty fair for nyc. staff were friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. the place isn't huge but it has a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay awhile.
Tum Sen Lek is Chef Special, only reservation. Larb Moo & Yum Seafood Noodle are my favorite 😍 Taste just the same as I always have in Bangkok 🔥
Tried their new menu items Thai Chicken Biryani and Chicken Wings Zaab and both were great! The Biryani flavor was subtle and not very overpowering of the dish, the chicken thigh was juicy. 5 stars for the chef experimenting with new and interesting flavor combinations - where else are you going to find a Biryani dish in a Thai restaurant!
The vibe is cozy and the staff is so nice. This is the best Thai food in the city. We got the crispy dumpligs which were fried to the perfect crunch. As well as their beef and noodles cooked amazing. My partner and I will definitely come back to try the curry dishes next time!
This Thai restaurant in New York City has to be one of the best I’ve ever had, if not the best. The food is incredible, and I can confidently say it’s authentic. They source their produce excellently, and the service is impeccable. But the real star of the show is the chef.
My new favorite Thai in Brooklyn. So glad I found this spot ! Food is superb and staff is extremely kind. My new go-to
Great take out spot. Took care of me in less than 10 min. Ordered the pad see ew and tom kha soup and both were delicious! Excellent example of a Thai hole in the wall neighborhood spot, definitely give them a try and add to your rotation!
Food is top tier and their Thai tea is the best I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend
The best chicken basil thai fried rice in all of NYC, hands down. Simply delicious and good prices. Can’t recommend enough!!
It’s such a warm and welcoming place the vibe is cozy and makes you feel comfortable right away. The staff are very friendly, and you can tell they really care about their customers. The food is amazing! I keep coming back for their tom yum fried rice it’s so flavorful and perfectly cooked every time. And their Thai coffee? The best!
