    Pranakhon [ Manhattan ] 💌 : @pranakhon_nyc Michelin Guide–recommended for the past three years, and even praised by Lisa from BLACKPINK—Pranakhon has been on my list for a while, and the hype is absolutely real. From the first bite to the last sip, everything was executed with care, balance, and depth. Every dish was phenomenal, including the mocktails, with flavors that felt both comforting and refined. The service was top-notch, and the interior? Thoughtfully designed and stunning—I couldn’t stop looking around. Without a doubt, this is one of the best Thai spots I’ve tried in NYC, and I’ll definitely be a returning customer ! ✨ Featured: 🍝 Pranakhon Pad Thai 🍘 Kui Chai 🥩 Kao Pad Nuer 🐷 Jaew Kor-Moo 🥟Pak Mor Tomyum 🫖 Thai Ice Tea 🍹Piti 🍹Vera 🍦I-Tim Sundae 📍 88 University Pl, New York, NY 10003 🇹🇭 Save and share for your next hangout 👯‍♀️ Follow @nyc.foodme for more nyc gems

    Focusing on the street food of Bangkok, this spot near NYU is perfect for a quick cocktail, or even a solo meal at the bar. The decor mimics a typical outdoor market, complete with a lottery ticket window and pastel green ironwork. The staff even wear orange vests, just like the cyclists all over the streets of Bangkok do. It may not be the prettiest dish, but the Rad Naa is hands down my favorite dish! If you are a fan of the wet style flat noodle like I am, then this is a must try! 🫶🏼 Crab Fried Rice 🫶🏼 Rad Naa 🫶🏼 Short Rib Mussaman 🫶🏼 Tee Da Spiced Rum, Cinnamon, Maple, Lemon, Egg-free Foam 🫶🏼 Choo Jai (Mocktail) Ghia, Orgeat, Pink Grapefruit 📍Pranakhon | NYC @pranakhon_nyc ⭐ Michelin Bib Gourmand 👉🏻www.BiteWorthyIndeed.com Michelin | Sip | Bite Worthy reviews #foodforfoodies #foodlove #foodstagram #forkyeah #foodpassion #nyceats #nycfoodie #michlin #bangkokfood

    Some of the best Thai food in NYC! 🙌🏼 If you’ve never been to @pranakhon_nyc, you’re missing out! They’re serving up some of the best Thai food in the city. They have a huge menu with so many different dishes to choose from. Not to mention they also have an extensive cocktails menu! Their menus are absolutely gorgeous with beautiful illustrations with each item - I love when I have photos of the food/drinks so I know what to expect when I order! 👌🏼 My favorite dishes we ordered was their curry pancake, Tom yum noodle soup, pad see ew with crispy pork belly, soft shell crab curry, and of course the Thai coconut pudding for dessert! 🥥 For drinks, we ordered the mae ploy and wnali and both were delicious! The Wnali reminds me of a green juice, super light and refreshing! 🙌🏼 Follow @itskimpham for more NYC eats! ✨ 📍Union Square, NYC #nycfoodie #nycfoodinsta #unionsquare #unionsquarenyc #thaifoodnyc #thaifood #nyccocktails #nycdrinks #cocktailsnyc #newyorkfoodies What would you want to try?

    Pranakhaon is one of the best thai in the city. the only disappoint is there is no mango sticky rice for dessert. the steamed fish is phenom. so is the softshell crab curry and non-alcoholic drinks are great. they are friendly and helpful in ordering and menu has pictures.

    The food is good but definitely not worth the price and portions are stingy. They run that place like a factory too, they’re under pressure to turn tables quickly so you kind of feel like you’re on an assembly line. They dropped the check even when we told them not to. We’d been there for 45 mins tops. It’s a big loud open space that does not feel very personal or warm.

    My food was way too salty to eat and service staff seemed in a rush to get us out. The food was absolutely not worth the $54 I ended up spending. Chive pancakes were just not it
