Best Thai in Brooklyn?
Now, as most local Thai food lovers know, you’ve got to trek over to Sripraphai in Queens if you want the real deal. We haven’t had found any restaurants in Brooklyn that compare, though we do like Em Thai at 278 Smith Street — where they serve a few dishes that venture beyond the basics….
Now, as most local Thai food lovers know, you’ve got to trek over to Sripraphai in Queens if you want the real deal. We haven’t had found any restaurants in Brooklyn that compare, though we do like Em Thai at 278 Smith Street — where they serve a few dishes that venture beyond the basics. Their crispy and spicy Duck Basil is always a winner; another house specialty involves panang curry is poured over grilled shrimp and buttery avocado slices; and the Pad Kee Mao (super spicy noodles) never disappoints. The delivery is almost instantaneous — we once received a meal in seven minutes flat (no joke) — but the restaurant’s mod decor and friendly servers make it worth stopping in now and then. Of course, that’s just one neighborhood spot. The photo above was shot at Nana (155 5th Avenue in Park Slope), which we’ve also heard good things about. Any other recommendations for neighborhood Thai joints? Or perhaps somebody can point out a few dishes at local spots that will help us Sripraphai fans stave off another journey to Queens?

Thai Sesame!!!!!
I think Joya’s food is boring, and I hate the douchey crowd
Em is pretty good. I also used to like the place that was there before it: 3 Bow Thais. Maybe it’s the same owner.
Thai Seasame is an awesome alternative to the always crowded joya.
The moo sam ros (fried pork) dish is awesome.
You all crazy, Fulton Chinese/Thai is what its all about…Panang isn’t right if it doesn’t taste like beef broth with a pinch of rooster sauce. I don’t understand you fancy other side of Atlantic and Flatbush people.
Joya!
I’m not an expert on Thai, I just like eating it. I live in East Williamsburg, and we love Lily Thai. We’ve only eaten in their restaurant once, but we order delivery once a week, sometimes more. We like their Gai Kana or winter soup. Yum.
mango thai in park slope is good at food.
Thai Rice Kitchen (7th ave/9th st., Tha Slope)
Recommended dishes…
*Crab Fried Rice
*Chicken Spices
*Pad Thai
Thai tea’s good too.
I second (third) the opinion about Em. It may not be ultra-authentic (who knows, really), but it’s the best Thai food in Cobble/Carrol and it’s service is incredible. We’ve probably ordered from there ten times and it’s never taken more than like 15-20 minutes.
Nine-D. Ingredients are always fresh and the service is good. Place has nice decor too.
