DSC00244Pongsri Thai (on 48th btw. B’way+8th) has completed the renovations to their front room, which shut down half the restaurant for the past couple months. And the big surprise is the fact that they didn’t raise their prices!  The lunch specials are still a very cheap for the neighborhood $6 to $8. If you have time to venture over to Ninth Ave. the thai restaurants are far superior over there (and for the same price you usually get an appetizer and/or salad with your lunch special.) But if you don’t have the time, Pongsri is a decent in bounds option (one that has been recommended often by commenters, bloggers, and Profiled Midtown Lunch’ers.)

The two noodle dishes I had on my most recent trip, are after the jump…

Pad Thai (top) and Pad See Ew (bottom).  Both were fine, with a slight edge going to the Pad See Ew which was slightly above average.  You could do a lot better… but you could also do much much worse. Next up on the Thai Train… either Topaz (on 56th btw. 6+7th) or the new’ish Chai Thai (on 8th Ave. & 55th.)

Pongsri, 244 West 48th St. (btw. 7+8th), 212-582-3392
