Best Thai in NYC

by bkratchtech

I'm a vegetarian working in the Flatiron District, so I'm always looking for something tasty to suit my dietary needs. I've been to Rohm many times and they never disappoint! Although I have never sat down to eat in the restaurant (I always stop by to order take out), it is always very clean. The atmosphere is very peaceful and serene, and the ladies who waitress there are very kind. The food is cooked quickly so you never have to wait long to eat. The portions are HUGE and always tasty! They offer a great variety of veg dishes, and I recommend the vegetable pad se eww. It's to die for!

I plan on going back every time I'm in the mood for Thai.

• Pros: Vegetarian dishes, ambience, quick service
• Cons: Some dishes are a little high in price

Amazing Pad Thai

by roahmed

Rohm is a decent-sized, dark Thai restaurant with very good food. As an appetizer I had the calamari, which was a very small portion, so make sure each person orders an order. As my entree I had the Rohm Pad Thai which I asked to make spicy, and it was just that. I usually don't like pad thai because it's always too salty, but this pad thai was amazing! For dessert I had fried bananas with red bean ice cream, which was delicious as well. The service was very good as well, and the manager was a sweetheart. Definitely go if you're in the neighborhood.

• Pros: Great food, good service, cheap
• Cons: None

Cozy Thai restaurant with many choices in the Flatiron/Chelsea area

by MadM

I am often in the Flatiron area for lunch and this along with Pongsri (on 23rd btween 6th and 7th) are the only two Thai restaurants that I am a regular patron to, the others I've tried and have been disappointed (esp. with "ThaiNYC" on 3rd Avenue next to Jaiya - that was the absolutely worse!).

If you're here for lunch, there are lots of lunch choices and they are very good. Generous portions and it also comes with soup or salad - the soup changes daily (not the usual tom yong gun). I've had the curries and also the fried rice here and I was pleasantly surprised. My friend ordered a duck fried rice - in which the duck was served over the fried rice (so the duck was nicely cooked, not pan fried along with the rice). There are good choices for vegetarians as they serve their meals with choices of vegetables& tofu, chicken beef, shrimp or duck. I've been here for dinner and I think it's okay as well. The portions are bigger at dinner but so are the prices. They have a small bar so alcohol is served - their wine selection is ok for a small restaurant.

• Pros: Vast selection (authentic), offers brown rice as an alternative (not many Thai restaurants have this)
