Editorial Review for Sripraphai Thai Restaurant – by Jean Tang
The Scene
This is the kind of Thai food some consider unattainable in Manhattan. The atmosphere is squeaky clean and no-nonsense: Tables for two can be pushed together to accommodate groups--if there's room. There's a strict no-reservations policy, but even when the weekend line goes out the door, the vibe stays happy and laid-back.
The Food
A good way to judge a Thai spot is by its green curry: The all-Thai staff here fashions it spicy and smooth, filled to bursting with meat and thin-sliced bamboo shoots. Shrimp papaya salad could set you on fire, but not everything is spicy. Chicken-coconut soup strikes a good balance between sour and the raw, gingery taste of galangal. A heat-bearing rice noodle dish is chock-full of basil and chili-flecked ground pork succulent enough to be called creamy. Even the coconut rice--simultaneously moist and fluffy--transcends boundaries.

I've ordered some dishes at Sripraphai that I've absolutely loved and I've ordered dishes that were practically inedible. However, I feel that the good outweighs the bad. They make the best beef satay that I have ever had. I especially love the peanut sauce. Other dishes I can recommend are the drunken noodles, massaman curry, and pad see ew. I ordered the garlic chicken (which I've eaten at dozens of other thai restaurants) and it was absolutely awful and salty. Overall I recommend Sripraphai if you know what is good. The food is so authentic and prices are great.
Pros: some amazing dishes, low prices
Cons: servers can be unattentive, not all dishes are good
