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 and has fewer peanuts than usual, but there are no complaints about the generous portion.…

I could eat here every night - if only I lived there
by jjpmom
I had two of my three best meals in NYC at Pongsri. I like already liked Thai food, but this Thai was absolute perfection! The first time I stuck with my traditional favorites likethe Thom Ka Gai soup and Green curry, but on my return visit I branched out and tried something new and I was not disappointed. The manager, Tina ,was gracious and warm and the food delivery was paced just how we wanted it. And if that weren't enough, the prices here are very fair - I ate at a few other restaurants that were not nearly worth the money they wanted for their food. This place is a terrific value....excellent food that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg (or your first born) ! A rare find in NYC!
- Pros: The food
- Cons: Can't think of any

Very delicious Thai dished
by WatanabeI
I went there with a group of my friends and found that this 37-year-old restaurant offered very friendly services and delicious foods (well, since they have operated the restaurant for 37 years, I would say they must have something good). The price is very reasonable and they would even go so far to customize their dishes to satisfy customers (e.g. one of my friend is allergic to many foods and they did not hesitate to change their dish for her). If you like curry, this is a place you could find many delicious special curry dishes (try Soft shell crab curry sauce). I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.
- Pros: Services, delicious foods, convenient location
- Cons: They don't take Visa or Mastercard, only Amex and cash
