At Pranakhon, you can taste and experience various foods, inspired from outdoor alley (soi) of Thailand. After my friends and I had dined here for a birthday celebration, we can see how they earned Michelin Stars for three years!
For starters, we ordered Klui Goong and Gai Manow. The Klui Goong was light, crispy, and the combination of pork and seafood was delicious. The sauce added a nice sweet-sour taste too.
We also ordered various entrée such as Khao Soi Haeng, Khao Na Ped, Kang Dang Moo, Moo Grob Prik Khing, and Ped Ruan. The Kang Dang Moo was creamy with the coconut milk and fragrant with the basil leaf. Luckily, it was not too sweet, although I would prefer it a little bit spicier. The highlight of the night was definitely the Moo Grob Prik Khing, stir-fried crispy pork with string beans, kaffir lime, and chili paste! The pork had a nice crisp crunch. It was perfectly cooked so it was not too tender and not too crispy. The seasoning made the crispy pork flavor burst and it was a delight to share amongst the table!

So good. All the food hit. Not too oily or salty, but strong flavors and good spice. Underrated starters were the curry pancakes. They had an Indian profile and the sweet sauce on the side paired so well either way it. Khao soi was a dry dish which was interesting. Steak was cooked to perfection.
Service was fantastic. Server came up periodically to refill in the water. She was present but never pushy despite the long line of people waiting for weekend dinner.
Interior vibes are cool and take me to Thailand.

Pranakhon is one of my favourite Thai restaurants in the city. The atmosphere is always very lively, and they have such a wide variety of authentic dishes that I’m always very impressed by.
I often order one of their rice dishes, and they are all so delicious. My favourite is the kaprow moo sub, which comes at a very (authentic) level of spiciness; I also liked the pad krapow and khao moo dang — pork is always so juicy and tender (crispy pork belly so flavourful).
The mee kati was a pleasant surprise when I tried it — I liked how the flavour of the fresh mangos paired with the tamarind flavour of the noodles / sauce. It was a bit heavy, and some of the noodles started to clump together.
For a less spicy option, I really enjoyed the preaw wan. The sweet and sour flavour was a refreshing contrast from the richer flavours of other dishes like the curries, and I liked the eclectic mix of pineapples, tomatoes, nuts, onions, etc. Made for a very interesting overall dish.
While the menu is a little pricey, the lunch special is quite worth it if you’re able to come for a weekday lunch. I am a big fan of the Pranakhon salad (which comes as a side for the lunch combo) — the mango ginger dressing is so delicious and the shredded mango is always SO fresh.
Always very keen to come back to try something else off their menu. They can get a bit busy at peak times, so definitely try to make a reservation in advance.

I came here with two others on a very cold Saturday in early February for lunch at 12:30pm. We made the reservation a few days in advance. The restaurant was very lively and seemed mostly full but I did see open tables and space at the bar. I would generally recommend a reservation.
We were seated in the upstairs dining area which is less open feeling than the main floor dining area. Overall, the restaurant has a great vibe and decor. The servers we had were mostly attentive and nice, but they didn’t outwardly seem concerned whether not you had a good experience. The food we ordered all tasted somewhere between mediocre and good. The portion sizes were pretty reasonable.
I wouldn’t resist going back to this restaurant, but I likely wouldn’t seek it out again.

Everything was delicious and fresh. Absolutely phenomenal, every item. The fish came out under heat and the sauce to die for. Beau P was our server she was the sweetest person ever! She gave us some recommendations like the Curry pancake, and we loved it! We will definitely be back.

We reached the place 15 minutes earlier than our reservation time and had a short wait. The ambience was on point. They tried to replicate a little street food vibe but still keep it a little classy.
Place was a little loud with it being completely packed and also the tables are placed a little too close. We enjoyed our time here.
We ordered the curry pancake to start our meal with. It was a little bland for our taste but still tasted pretty good. And then we went with the Pad Thai, Green curry with chicken which tasted amazing. Prices are a little on the pricier side but expected for a NYC restaurant. We ordered some mocktails as well which tasted amazing too.
Would definitely visit again to try the other items on the menu. Staff were very courteous and accommodating when we were trying to make some customizations to our food

It’s a two-story restaurant that’s absolutely gorgeous, but the tables do feel a little smushed together, which I didn’t love. That said, the place was packed – practically every table was full – yet the service was impressively quick. We barely waited for our food despite how busy it was. I would highly recommend getting a reservation and being on time for it, as they do give the table away if you’re late.
For the size of the space and people it holds, I definitely think the restroom situation isn’t handled well, as I saw a line outside the restroom pretty much all the time I was there.
For food, I tried the curry pancakes and the fried chicken, both of which were really good. For my main, I played it super safe with a red curry, but it did not disappoint in the slightest. It was spicy, and comforting, basically a warm hug in a bowl. I also had some of the crab fried rice, and the portion was surprisingly generous for a “small” size.
I loved the food here and honestly can’t wait to come back and try more.

Rated as one of the top Thai spots in NYC and a recent Michael Bib Gourmand, this restaurant is the perfect spot to enjoy some great Thai food. I would recommend booking a reservation here ahead of time (by a week, especially for weekends) as it gets very busy. The interior is spacious with lots of tables and beautiful decor reminiscent of Thailand’s streets.
We ordered their papaya salad, shrimp egg rolls, and curry pancake for appetizers. For mains, we got their braised beef, soft shell crab curry, tom kha, and crab fried rice. Portions here were so generous and everything was delicious. My favorites were the braised beef and the soft shell crab curry as they were so rich, creamy, and flavorful and paired really well with rice. The crab fried rice was another favorite at our table.
Service here is very attentive, but I did notice that they REALLY tried to upsell us on everything. We definitely were recommended more dishes than we needed (we didn’t even order as much as our waitress recommended) and for dessert, half of our table didn’t want dessert so we told our waitress we wanted something small. She recommended four orders of the coconut pudding, but did not tell us that each serving already came with FOUR bowls. Had we known, we would’ve only ordered one.

I absolutely loved this place. From the moment I walked in, it genuinely felt like being back in Thailand. The staff were dressed like Thai motorbike taxi drivers, which was such a fun and authentic touch.
They were also very friendly and welcoming.
I ordered the Tom Yum Goong (shrimp) and sweet basil minced pork, both at Thai spicy level, and they were perfect-bold, aromatic, and truly authentic. The spice level was real Thai spicy, not toned down at all. No wonder this restaurant has been recognized by the Michelin Guide.
The atmosphere was great, free Wi-Fi was available, and even the restroom was impressively clean and well maintained.
Every detail, from the food to the ambiance, made me feel like I was dining in Thailand.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Thai food in New York.

Literally my go to thai spot. Tried my first ever papaya salad here and have been obsessed since! I love majority of their dishes, they’re so flavorful and authentic.
SK Tra was super helpful during our time there and was very patient with us when we were deciding on which new dishes to try from the menu!
