So maybe someone else can recommend more dishes Thu Oct 29 07:52:14 -0700 2009 5139930 93566 kelea 1 5139869 In Manhattan, definitely Rhong Tiam. Zabb City is good for Isaan food but not for Bangkok-style food. Thu Oct 29 07:25:20 -0700 2009 5137161 547189 chowbie 1 5139925 I like Wondee Siam on 9th Ave near 51st. Thu Oct 29 07:43:41 -0700 2009 5137161 10147 michele cindy 2 5149929 I second Wondee Siam. I also like Pongsri in Chinatown (better than the other branches). Mon Nov 02 13:18:34 -0800 2009 5139925 1093353 fm1963 3 5164285 Wondee - actually on 9th Av. between 52nd and 53rd - is my choice for the best Thai restaurant I, at least, have been to in Manhattan in quite a few years, providing that you order off the "Secret Thai" menu and convince them to make things very spicy and Thai style. Last time I went, they actually made things a bit too hot for my preference, but I wouldn't say so, because I prefer to just eat more rice and drink more water but have the great taste that results when they don't tone anything down. My girlfriend, God bless her, sport that she is, agrees with my thinking on this. Sat Nov 07 19:21:05 -0800 2009 5149929 17058 Pan 4 5164347 I think you (and she) are right on the money! Sat Nov 07 20:03:01 -0800 2009 5164285 10936 kathryn 1 5140085 You mentioned "best Thai in NYC" but since you posted on the Manhattan board your answers are limited to that borough. If you're willing to travel to Queens the choices become better. You may want to post your question on the Outer Boroughs board. Thu Oct 29 08:36:11 -0700 2009 5137161 10162 Bob Martinez 1 5150654 Sripraphai no question. It's totally worth the trip to queens (which, really isn't that bad since it's not that far from the subway stop). The prices are great too. Mon Nov 02 17:14:25 -0800 2009 5137161 1107592 daisy326 1 5151868 Srip in the outer boroughs (and all of NYC), but I add to the chorus that Rhong Tiam in Manhattan is pretty good.
