Overall the meal was good and I would go back to try other dishes. Sometimes lunch special appetizers are very skimpy on portions, but the 3 large shumai (very slightly spicy, stuffed with shrimp, chicken and mushrooms, doused with a bit of soy sauce and a sprinkle of fried minced garlic) were filling. The pad see ew portion was generous as well and the chicken (white meat), noodle, Chinese broccoli, regular broccoli and bits of scrambled egg was well-proportioned. My only complaint would be that some of the chicken pieces were a tad dry and the sauce could have been stronger. It definitely wasn't overly salty, which I often find to be the downfall of many pad see ew dishes. The Thai staff was very nice and service was quick. Maybe I'll try one of their curries next time. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/new-thai-spot-mt-east-rain-thai#post-20710 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 16:14:47 -0500 idontknow 20710@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Has anyone tried yet?

I finally registered at ML just so I could respond to you. Thanks to the M'Lunchers on some random post (freak of the week maybe?) I read about Little Thai Kitchen on 53rd Street, between 3rd and 2nd Aves. I think. Not bad, not bad at all. Esp. for that area. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown/page/2#post-1798 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:22:42 -0500 BrooklynLou 1798@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Posngri on 48th (Near 8th) is pretty tasty and their lunch specials are under $10 </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown/page/2#post-1649 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:12:09 -0500 dmax 1649@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>that's a great dish, the crispy catfish salad on that menu is unbelievable as well </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown/page/2#post-1632 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:20:15 -0500 rinda 1632@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>i tried wondee siam on 9th ave yesterday. ordered the crispy pork with chinese brocolli off their not so secret "secret menu". like woah, is all i can say. this place definitely will become a regular in my lunch resto rotation. thanks ML! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown/page/2#post-1505 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:28:41 -0500 talida 1505@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Zach, you and me both!

I enjoyed it and had it twice there. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the fact that they used sliced chicken breast. Taste kinda flavorless and dry to me. It has egg noodles and pickled cabbage in a curry broth, topped with fried noodles and onions. Very addicting flavors. Last time I had this was last year so I can't vouch for the quality now. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown/page/2#post-1496 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:15:04 -0500 Zach Brooks 1496@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I *love* khao soi.

When done right, their food is great! I'm also a fan of their Khao Soi. I once ordered Pad Kee Mao, and they didn't have the broad rice noodle so they used the thin one, and it clumped up and was flavorless. I once ordered a vegetable dish and ended up with bean sprouts, cabbage, and lots of onions and scallions. Maybe bits of carrots here and there. Just cheap stuff. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown#post-1493 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:14:43 -0500 sandra 1493@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I always liked Aceluck on 9th Ave between 39th/40th. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown#post-1492 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:12:50 -0500 amymazz 1492@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I'm out of bounds on the east side, but I recently got a craving for drunken noodles and went to the closest place that had them, which turned out to be Chada on 2nd at 35th. I can't speak for any of the other dishes, but the drunken noodles hit the spot. Not the best Thai food I've ever had, but good enough, and they have very reasonably priced lunch specials.</p> <p><a href="http://www.chadanyc.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.chadanyc.com</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/thai-in-midtown#post-1477 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:37:38 -0500 wayne 1477@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>How is that Chili Thai place on 9th &#38; 49th? - they get great reviews </p>
