Long Tan Restaurant

Brooklyn's Premiere Thai Restaurant & Bar

  • Authentic Thai cuisine
  • Delivery available
  • Extensive wine list

For those of you who don't yet know us, I'd like to introduce you to Long Tan. Long Tan is a neighborhood modern Thai restaurant in a beautiful space. Our open kitchen is center stage, serving clean, fresh classics as well as inventive interpretations late into the night.

"I was rewarded with excellent Thai cooking every time the yellow curry was like a spiced elixir the crab and mango summer rolls were delicate and subtle" New York Times July 02

"The lemongrass is always greener at Long Tan. Jeff Hardinger's jungle curry is spicy but not menacing, and Junior's pork, rice and garlic sausage evokes descriptions like demure and supple but friggin excellent is the final verdict." Time Out NY 02

"Hip young things" keep this "sleek" Park Slope Thai "buzzing" while chefs wok out a "spirited" menu in the "great open kitchen" It proves one can be "trendy" at Brooklyn prices". ZAGAT 2003

Editorial Review for Long Tan Restaurant – by Kat Kinsman

The Scene
Loungified Long Tan brings Park Slope a reasonably priced, late-night date spot. The restaurant has several distinctly different seating areas--red banquette-flanked main hall, secluded back patio, grill-side counter seats, darkened couch nook--allowing diners to pick their desired level of privacy.

The Food
Heat-seeking curry fans, as well as less daring diners find much to savor on the lengthy Thai menu. Portions are generous and flavors surprisingly sophisticated. Specialties include sweet corn and succulent duck peeking through a creamy red curry, a fruity tease of mango wrapped in a delicate crab summer roll and crispy fish cakes kissed with kaffir lime. Round the meal out with tangy lemongrass, ginger, mango and coconut sorbets and adjourn to the candlelit front bar for a mellow nightcap.

My kids love it, I love it, my friends love it. Whether in a large group, a family, or by yourself at the bar-a great place. I love the chil atmosphere, and the hot scene at night. Kids like to watch the food being cooked, and the servers are kind and patient. Great bar staff too!

Pros: Great for everyone, excellent bar scene, good with kids

Cons: food can be spicier

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I came to Long Tan with some family members, 5 in total on Friday night to have dinner. As we were being seated I noticed the table had only 4 chairs, so I asked the manager how are 5 people to fit in such a small table. I also noticed there were 2 other tables available that seated 6 which he said had to be reserved (were not), mind you I called earlier and asked if a reservation is needed, I had a response of "no". We asked the manager to please seat us comfortably at the table for 6, but the only result he could come up with is to seat us at a big table which we might have to share with others. My family and I looked at each other and immediately said "no way", we did not come to share a school table and left. I have never had that kind of experience at any restaurant, and at another establishment the manager would probably seat us at the table for 6. For this reason I would not recommend going to this restaurant even though the food might be good(and I say MIGHT) the rudeness of the staff and manager is reason enough not to find out.
