About this business

Editorial fromThe 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…

Has my respect – I'm eaten at Pongsri for a number of years. Its one of the first Thai Restaurants I tried. Over the years, they have gotten better in terms of service and food quality. Would I recommend this place. yes! Their service is near the top in my book. Their staff is quick, friendly and professional. If anyone has my respect.. its this place.

Thai food in chinatown – This place is great for cheap eats. The pad thai is a little on the sweet side but if you like sweet, then this is perfect for you!

Reliable Thai in the shadow of downtown's courthouses. – 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 of the wood-paneled dining room. Low prices and quick service bolster the mass appeal. The Food On this lengthy Thai menu, you can't go wrong with standbys like chicken satay, which comes five to a plate with a mildly spicy peanut dipping sauce on the side. Pad Thai tends to be sweet a... read more

not so good – me too. i don't understand why people rate this as highly recommend? well, did it use to be good? i don't know, but I'm Thai and have been eating from many restaurant. I'd say that the food is below average. I won't go back. There are plenty of better Thai food out there...

Average food. – Really don't understand why this joint is rated so highly. The food is pretty average. They tend to overcook the chicken too until its dry and nasty. I've been to other thai restaurants around the city and they are all better. If you want examples , go to pam real thai or wondee siam or even rungsit.

Best Thai in NYC – I was lucky enough to find Pongsri on my first visit to NYC, and I have made a point to return on every visit. Being a true lover of Thai food, I usually cannot wat to return!! The restaurant is small and narrow, as are many in NYC, but it is just cozy enough to create a very romantic atmosphere. And the food is absolutely wonderful! My favorite dish is the Pad Thai. Now I know that sounds boring when taking into consideration the multitude of selections on the menu. However, having visited a great number ... read more

What service?? – The curry is good here and they have a good vegitarian menu which is a plus. Skewers of beef and chicken was tasty..the only problem with this place is the slow service

Thai iced coffee – I give it a five for the Thai ice coffee alone. The food was not the best Thai food I've had. In fact, it seemed like American style Chinese food. Perhaps, the lunch time meals are catered to the coutroom/city hall crowd and less to the natives.

Best Thai Curries in Town – If you love Thai curries as I do, this is the place to go. My favorite is the Penang curry. The rest of the food is great too, but I have been to places with better noodle dishes.
