Profile

For years, Sripraphai has been the defiantly delicious rebuttal to complaints that you can't get good Thai food in New York. A recent, relatively glitzy expansion gave some pause—would a dressed-up Srip become a watered-down victim of its own success? Not at all: Crispy dried catfish, fiery beef panang, and minced pork with chilies, peanuts, and lemon juice are as good as ever. The pad might be fancier, but not the pad Thai. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Crispy Thai catfish salad, $13.50; sauteed pork with chili and basil, $7.50

I haven't had Thai food this good since I went to Thailand. I had heard so many good things about this place when I moved a couple of blocks away and want to hit myself for taking almost a full year to visit. The service wasn't that fast but they were swamped the night I went so it's totally understandable. They were all very friendly. Want to experience heaven? Order the green curry with duck. Absolute bliss!

Eat there at least once a month and the food is excellent. I have not found a better value in New York. The service is extremely quick, but do not expect to hang out for hours on end, for it is an extremely high volume restaurant. The decor is extremely simple, so do not go there expecting white linen. The bottom line is it is if you want a quick lunch/dinner, exceptional Thai food, at an extremely cheap price, this is your place. Suggestions: Order family style; my favorite dishes include roasted duck salad, fried soft shell crab with shredded mango, curried pork with string beans, soy noodles, drunken noodles, and sauteed fish with garlic and lime. As a heads up, they are closed on Wednesdays.
