Pongsri Thai Restaurant

Pongsri Thai Restaurant Restaurant Review

The oldest family-run Thai restaurant in the city, this Chinatown hole-in-the-wall is good and inexpensive, but beware: It's not for the tender of palate, as most of the seafood, beef and whole-fish courses are very hot. The shrimp cooked in lime juice was so hot it brought tears to our eyes as did a sautéed chicken with a flavorful thick peanut sauce. An exception is tom kah kai, the classic...

"Authentic curries" and other "quality" Thai eats are "delivered with real spice" at these "bargain-priced" veterans; the decor's "not fancy", but "convenient" locations and "fast" service make them a "good choice" when you're "pressed for time."

Bailiffs, stenographers, jury duty depressives, and prison wardens get their spice on at the city's oldest family-run Thai. Interior renovation is Asian-Lite generic; we miss the circa-1972 wood décor. Impress your server with copious use of all three condiments: dried chilies, pickled chilies, and jellied chilies. Knock out that flu with combo of tom yum goong (lemongrass soup), pad kee mao...

Known by two different names, old-timers usually refer to it as Thailand Restaurant. Sitting squarely on the Chinatown corner with view both of a park and a jail, the lunch specials are legendary with jurors and law-enforcement types. Late evenings are a free for all, with film crews, TriBeCa denizens and wanderers from all around eating in the packed dining room. While newer Thai restaurants...

The Scene
Lunch at this Chinatown institution can be a sunny spot in an otherwise dreary day of jury duty. Decorative touches like Thai masks and travel posters offset the cafeteria feel...

Delicious thai food. Most things on the menu are delicious (although I would avoid the larb. It kind of smells like something that would be found at the bottom of a trash bin in the bathroom that...

Had our Wedding Lunch here! Loved it!!. Pongsri is conveniently located close to the New York City Clerk Marriage Bureau. It being so close helped because we had elderly in our wedding group who could not walk too far. After our wedding we took a quick stroll through Columbus Park and our group of 12 people headed into the restaurant shortly after 11 AM. The restaurant has a clean look to it...

I saw the reviews that say there are a ton of lawyers here. It's true. I mean, what can you say - the courts are literally around the corner, across the street, etc. Hey, at least the clientele is...

Had dinner here today. The service was great, and the Pad Thai and Green Curry were both above average. Good thai food at a very reasonable price. We would return.

This place isn't nearly as good as it use to be. I was excited at the prospect of sinking my teeth into pad Thai & yellow coconut curry with shrimp. The pad Thai was clumpy, bland & missing both peanuts & the lime garnish. Terrible. The yellow curry was watery, had 3 shrimp, a few small pieces of green …

Business Dinner, Asian: Pongsri, one of NYC's oldest Thai restaurants, is one of those diamonds in the rough, so to speak, making it immensely popular with the "in" crowd and many celebrities. This spacious restaurant offers diners the chance to dine in a traditionally decorated eatery whose waitstaff is both fun and attentive. In addition to their yum yum and noodle entrées, several spicy...
