4.3 stars. Birthday dinner for our son and couldn’t have picked a cooler spot! Located in a questionable neighborhood from our trek out there, Mao Mao is a gem in the rough. We actually walked past it and had to double back. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be solid.
Started with a Thai Iced Tea ($7), Khao Kriap aka Shrimp Chips ($5), Pik Gai Zaap aka Wings ($11) and Kung Sam Rot aka Fried Shrimp ($12). All were brought out shortly. Shrimp chips were good though small in size. Wings were small as well but had nice seasoning. The fried shrimp were very good and super crispy!
We all ended up ordering Khao Soi for our entrees. Yes, we are HUGE fans of this most delicious Northern Thai noodle dish. Our birthday boy added some extra egg noodles (+$6) which filled him up.
Note that they do not have dessert here so any sweet cravings will have to be filled elsewhere. Very friendly employees who work well together to keep things moving smoothly throughout the restaurant.
All-in with tip for dinner was right at $160.

Loved this spot! We came for NYE for a quick dinner – the service was excellent and the dishes were perfect (we got the mango appetizer twice). The vibe is great, service was quick and friendly, and the aesthetics are engrossing. Had a great time and will be back – thanks to the team!!

This Thai restaurant in the Broadway, Brooklyn area is truly unique. We stopped in for dinner around 9 PM, and as expected in New York, parking was tricky—we ended up parking about half a mile away and walking.
The ambiance stood out immediately: very dimly lit, almost to the point where you could barely see your food, with low, close-set tables and eclectic décor. A Thai movie was projected on a big screen (without sound), which added to the charm. However, we were seated next to a rack filled with condiments, possibly fish sauce, which gave off a strong odor that was a little distracting.
For appetizers, we tried the steamed dumplings (shumai style), stuffed with chicken and shrimp. They arrived hot, juicy, and perfectly steamed, with a light soy-based dipping sauce—simple but excellent. For my main, I ordered my go-to Thai dish: minced meat with basil, served with rice. The portion was generous enough that I had leftovers for lunch the next day. It was flavorful, though I wished for a bit more chili heat and a stronger punch of basil. A fried egg on top would have been the perfect touch but was missing. My husband chose a soupy noodle dish with a curry-like broth and chicken. The broth was mild but aromatic, the chicken tender, and the fried noodles added nice texture. The menu itself was fairly small but thoughtfully curated, with some interesting options like Wagyu beef.
Overall, despite the very dim lighting and the occasional strong condiment smell, the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I’d recommend this spot for anyone looking for a slightly off-beat but tasty Thai dining experience in Brooklyn.

Solid food, all the dishes I had were excellent. The decor is nice and unique. Seating is a bit awkward if you’re taller but if you get any other seat than the bench it should be ok.
The service was great, quick and I was seated quickly every time I came here.
The noodle soup was excellent!
Overall, great for a nice night out.

I think that this is a really unique space to have a casual dinner with friends. I love the ambiance, old Thai movies playing and just an overall really cool vibe.
I recommend getting a few things on the menu to share. I highly recommend getting the curry puffs.

The ambiance here is seriously one of the best in NYC – you feel like you’ve stepped straight into Thailand. The food was excellent, and our server was lovely and attentive. The chairs are a bold, unexpected touch that shake up the usual dinner vibe in a great way. Definitely a standout spot.

This Thai restaurant has a cozy, unique vibe with decor that blends Thai elements and an old-school cinema store feel. A live DJ spinning vinyl added a cool, laid-back atmosphere with great music. The food leans toward street food style — decent flavor and portion sizes — though everything was served in paper plates and cups, which took away slightly from the dining experience. The low tables added to the casual, intimate setting, but made eating a bit awkward. Overall, a fun spot for a relaxed night out, especially if you’re into music and street-style Thai food.

Such a great spot! The food was absolutely delicious — we loved everything we tried. The vibe is amazing, especially in the evening. It really feels like you’re somewhere in Bangkok. I also have to say, their drinks are incredible — especially the lychee one. Everything was just so tasty!

I’ve been here over 7 times and used to love it because the dishes are generally flavorful and the atmosphere is very cute.
I have a big problem with the prices of the dishes since the cutlery is all plastic and paper plates that fall apart. I get that it is street food themed but then the prices need to be lower.
There are still some appetizers that I still love but I have been increasingly disappointed with the food. I just ordered the chicken massaman curry to pick up and it was extremely dry and overcooked 🙁

Overall rating: 4.8
Price: $24 pp w/ tax & tip (total of 2x)
I saw this place pop up on my TikTok and have been wanting to try it for awhile.Admittedly I thought they had like movie nights but realized it’s just old Thai movies. It’s a super cute spot, but wow the seats are so uncomfortable. They serve on paper plates which is fun. I really like that the menu is easy to understand. And when you don’t drink, it’s actually pretty affordable. Items my friend & I ordered:
– Curry Puff chicken: 5/5 very good, def recommend
– Sai Krok Isaan: 4/5 not sure what I was expecting but nothing special
– Khao Kaprow Moo: 6/5 so simple, yet so good. A tad spicy, but not too much.
There were a few large parties here & I don’t know how they do it. I could only come here on a date or with a friend. The seats are not comfortable, but that shouldn’t stop you from grabbing a snack.
