About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Great for creative cocktails
BKK New York is a contemporary Thai restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, inspired by Bangkok Street food. BKK creatively combines the cultures and flavors of Bangkok and New York City, with fresh takes on NYC staples, like the BKK Hot Dog with Chiang-Mai pork sausage and a brisket sandwich with Thai spicy beef jus. Thai comfort food and classic dishes abound, such as Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Green Curry and Kra Pow Gai Kai Dow to name a few. Executive Chef Teerawong "Yo" Nanthavatsiri, leads the way with unique and innovative twists on Thai and New York dishes, alongside rising stars Joy Andeggplant and Prik Pimploy.
 
BKK's cocktail menu features a variety of playful, ingredient-forward cocktails and mocktails that also pay homage to Thai and New York items, along with Thai beer on tap, and a comprehensive wine selection. Raw and textured design elements such as neon lights, fluted glass panels and white brick walls mirror the lively atmosphere of Bangkok's street food scene.

    We enjoyed this creative and contemporary Thai food. The dishes with American components ("hot dog," shrimp donut and brisket noodles) were memorable. Look forward to next visit.

    They offer traditional Thai dishes and some New York fusion dishes such as everything spring rolls. My favorite is the kao moo dang moo krob (roasted pork and crispy pork over rice).

    A great new addition to West 56th Street. A vibrant menu full of variety even for those new to Thai food because of the street food twist.
