Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsSeptember 29, 2013Some of the favorites are the Northern Thai Noodle, and the Black Noodle dish. As an appetizer you should try the artichoke and sausage dish. The special Pan Seared Branzino is also divine! Read more
Sam HodgesMay 30, 2015Duck red curry was surprisingly lean and served with fantastic kind of roti bread. Ice creams are super cheap and delicious. Toasted almond is really good. Mango sorbet is sweet and rich
Mandar MAugust 27, 2012The braised skate and calamari is great ... If you like it spicy get it ... I have eaten spicier hotter Thai so don't be put off by the 3 stars warning. Eat it with roti. Crispy !
RCJuly 20, 2015Awesome Thai food for a little more money. The spicy duck salad really is spicy! Each curry is so unique and flavorful. -1 for being out of 4 menu items at 8:45 on a quiet Monday.
Their $15 lunch specials make it one of my favorite lunch spots. I can never say no to their goat curry, and pair it with their roti!
SunainaFebruary 27, 2015Modern take to Thai food. Fresh and interesting though I still prefer the authentic version. It's a nice place and def worth a try.
Giulia VillafrancaSeptember 22, 2014Try the short rib khao soi, perfect thai comfort food, it's spicy and flavorful. Skip the nom prik narok!!! Very nice staff
Margot MazurFebruary 19, 2015Delicious Thai food with vegan options. Dont sleep on that tamarind Margarita. PS, the spicy flakes are hotter than you think.
Kevin SkobacAugust 23, 2014A few of my favorite dishes are the (seriously) spicey duck laab salad, the fried broccoli, and the curry short rib
Alexander McJuly 20, 2012Food you'll remember for a while. Very unique take on Thai food. Didn't think I'd like the squid ink soup. I was wrong. Laab pretty good. Brisket yellow curry was excellent. Roti+jams a fun appetizer
RisaMarch 28, 2014Get the $65 tasting menu--you won't be sorry. They'll even bring you some milk (or Thai iced tea) if you're a wimp about the spice level.
EaterJanuary 11, 2012Dieterle has a knack for fusing Thai cuisine with his own New-American style, and the result is one of the most unique menus in New York right now. [Eater 38 Member]
Chefs FeedOctober 2, 2015"Harold really knows his way around a meatball. These little guys are baked in the oven and then poached in a delicious consommé." Chef Seamus Mullen Read more
Serious EatsAugust 25, 2011Second restaurant of Top Chef star Harold Dieterle, try the Spicy Duck Laab, Warm Sliced Snap Peas with Bay Scallops, Rabbit Leg Yellow Curry, and Goat Massaman Curry Read more- Sam HodgesMay 30, 2015Overall really great. The oyster and pork salad is a heavy appetizer but tasty. Goat massaman is fattier than expected but just falls apart, really good.
Corinna PFebruary 27, 2014OMG the goat curry. Omg omg omg. Also the duck laab salad will set your mouth on fire and is great. Andalusian smoke cocktail - go!- Serious EatsApril 23, 2013The goat massaman curry is rich with shallots, toasted coconut, and dry chili, with braised goat neck that actually melts in the mouth.
Isaiah GreeneAugust 12, 2012Fried Broccoli & Chinese Sausage. Garam Masala & Tomato Soup. Red: Roasted Duck Breast. Thai Fried Chicken. All w/ a side of Crispy Roti. You'll love yourself for ordering any of the above.
Chris BarredoJanuary 22, 2013Duck laab ftw. so spicy, so good. Fried brussel sprouts with chinese sausage, Massaman braised goat, Thai curry noodle with brisket, Thai fried chicken... that is all.
Andrea BarrezuetaOctober 21, 2012Must haves: drink? Shiso crazy. Gotta love the name! Food: Fried Brussels sprouts with Chinese sausage and Northern Thai curry noodles with the most amazing braised beef. Hmmm... So good!
BlackBook MagazineDecember 14, 2012Harold Dieterle may be Long Island-born, but he knows his way around Thai cooking. At Kin Shop, the ur-Top Chef mixes traditional dishes, Western technique, and local ingredients to maximum effect. Read more
Valerie SecklerAugust 20, 2014Raw kale, pears and candied pecans combine well in a salad. Vegetable stir fry with green curry rises above average.
Olof CarlsonMarch 4, 2015Friendly service, great food. Make sure to try the spicier salads, and grab some sticky rice to the curry. Desserts not a must though.
Gentrifried ChickenJune 6, 2012Grub St: "Bell & Evans birds in ginger, garlic, lemongrass, oyster sauce, and Thai shrimp paste for 24 hrs. Dredged in rice flour and an Asian cereal and deep-fried, with herbs, fish-chili sauce." Read more
Duck laab, squid ink sesame oil soup, or bay scallops w crisp shallots & toasted coconut. You can't go wrong w any fish or duck entree. Ask for it spicy & try to snag a seat by the open kitchen
kate kudishJanuary 30, 2013Can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu but top favorites were the crispy pork/fried oyster salad, black rice noodles, and banana fritter dessert
Tara RoffersFebruary 25, 2011Thai married with classic french - fried pork & crispy oyster salad and incredibly savory steamed pork meatball soup has a lovely consomme, rock shrimp rice flakes & duck w/ red curry are spot on!
julia tNovember 16, 2014Oily and crisp roti, delicious aquatic veggie dish and the goat curry is great. Husband a fan of the coffee with carnation milk.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Curries form the core of the menu, and best of all is the sour-rabbit-leg, which comes wrapped in a banana leaf. Read more
J LAugust 8, 2015The lan larb salad is spicy but not a scorching. The curries are out of this world and goes well with the sticky rice and roti.
Meghan DayDecember 20, 2010Really can't go wrong here, but the squid ink soup is totally original. The goat is the massaman flavors you love but with insanely tender, melt in your mouth meat. Also, fun beer list!
Charles BFebruary 2, 2012Top Chef #1 Harold Dieterle's newest spot. everything is spicy as can be, but if that's your bag you can't go wrong. Sit at the counter and watch Harold do his thing.
Laab is slightly spicy, by South East Asian standards, so don't be intimidated. Follow it up with the goat massaman and you're set.- Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Use of Duck in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Duck laab is flash of ground duck and chile heat, cooled by the lettuce it's contained in.
refinery29August 3, 2014What to Order: Fried pork and crispy oyster salad; massaman braised goat curry. Read more
Tara G.February 12, 2013Our favorites were the pork meatball soup, goat massaman curry, and preserved watercress side. Lovely staff, great place.
Sean StenstromFebruary 21, 2014Harold Dieterle and Alicia Nosenzo's contemporary Thai restaurant has a relaxed vibe, a great wine list, and awesome food
Zach AaronsJanuary 25, 2012The Duck Laab dish is super spicy and delicious. The prices are reasonable and the menu inventive. I loved the experience. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more- Two rotis come in one order. They are also thicker and crispier than your regular roti; fun to eat with a great texture.
Had the bone marrow, scallops, and sour yellow curry followed by root beer float and ice cream. Everything was delish and I will be back to try the rest!
Stephanie RivkinJuly 12, 2015Everything is great. Order the Pad Thai. And the oyster and pork belly. And everything.
suneelSeptember 11, 2014duck larb salad is a delicious scorcher. red curry with duck and roti is amazing.
Gansevoort Hotel GroupApril 8, 2011One of the tastiest new openings in a while! Get the snap pea and scallop app, the fried pork and oyster app, and the "red" roasted duck noodles. Dance party in your mouth!
Melody AngelesJuly 27, 2015Everything we ordered was amazing. My bf loved loved the steamed coconut pandan rice

"Everything is amazing. Try a sampler of skewers (1 each of a dozen types) for your first visit to figure out what you like. The papaya salad with raw crab is really good and not too spicy."
