Reviews
The menu is incredibly diverse and every dish felt truly authentic. My personal favorites were the folded dumplings and the salted egg calamari. We finished the night with the coconut ice cream and chiffon cake, which were top-notch. In the best tradition of Asian desserts, they were “not too sweet,” which was the perfect end to the meal.
The restaurant’s organizer was thoughtful and incredibly easy to coordinate with in advance. They were very accommodating with our various dietary restrictions, ensuring every guest had a delicious meal they could enjoy.
Our bartender and waitress were EXCEPTIONAL. They were attentive, polite, and very thoughtful throughout the entire evening, making sure no glass was empty and every guest felt welcome. Thank you again for the great evening!
All the main dishes were delicious. We got Double Mushroom Spring Roll $14, Folded Dumpling $15, Crab Curry $34, Wonton Tom Yum $24, Pad Thai $21, Goong Karee $25.
The only miss was the dessert – it was lacking the high quality execution from the main dishes.
I recommend making a reservation in advance because it’s pretty popular, even for a weeknight.
I got three cocktails “Last Kiss of Summer”, “I’ll Wait for Yuzu” and “Ask for Jan”. Last kiss was definitely my favorite the Lychi flavor was light and delicious while “Ask for Jan” was punchy and strong.
For food we started with “Folded Dumpling” which were delicious and light. The coconut milk gave the dumplings and unexpected depth. We moved on to the “Fried chicken skin” and the “Sai Ua Croquettes” the chicken skin was delicious while the croquettes were spicy and a little refreshing.
The papaya salad was light and refreshing but packed a spicy punch at the end.
The “Pad Kee Mao” was good – flavor was strong but the dish overall was light – we ended the mains with the “Marinated Ribeye Steak” – which was solid but not our favorite dish.
The toast with Thai ice tea ice desert was sweet and delicious but the lychee yuzu sort was the perfect finish. Light yet refreshing.
Short Rib Curry:
The short ribs were incredibly tender and rich without being heavy. The spices were fragrant and well-balanced, and paired with the roasted vegetables, it was extremely satisfying and perfect with rice.
Beef Tallow Fried Rice:
Another standout dish. The portion of beef was generous, and the fried rice cooked in beef tallow had great depth of flavor. The addition of crispy fried garlic added extra texture and made every bite more interesting.
Coco Thai Tea:
Highly recommend this drink . The refreshing coconut water combined with Thai tea was amazing, and the chewy coconut meat on top added a fun texture. Super refreshing and memorable.
Overall, the food came out at a good pace, and the service was efficient. Definitely make a reservation in advance.
I also really liked that the crab fried rice actually had big chunks of sweet crab throughout, and the rice itself had a great smoky flavor from the wok.
The fried branzino was served deboned, so it’s easy to share.
For drinks, I got the Made in Thailand, which had a hint of tropical flavors without being overly sweet.
I definitely have to come back to try more!
We skipped the cocktails and focused on the food. The dumplings, while serviceable, were the only note that felt restrained. Pleasant, but not particularly memorable.
The entrées, however, told a different story.
The duck in green curry was executed with precision. Perfectly cooked, tender with rendered fat that carried the depth of the curry beautifully. The sauce was layered and balanced, aromatic without overpowering the protein. Every element complemented the next; nothing competed, nothing fell flat.
The beef tallow fried rice with steak and egg yolk was unapologetically indulgent. Rich but controlled, luxurious without crossing into greasy excess. The egg yolk folded seamlessly into the rice, creating a velvety texture. Thin slices of fried garlic added both visual elegance and a sharp, aromatic lift. That said, a few burnt fragments in the rice disrupted the otherwise refined execution , small, but noticeable.
The décor is thoughtfully designed, the atmosphere warm and polished, and the service attentive without being intrusive.
Chadda is a strong addition to New York’s Thai dining scene. If not for the charred bits in the fried rice, this would have been a five-star experience. As it stands, it’s impressive and absolutely worth a return visit to explore the rest of the menu.
