Order the fusion stuff. The , the and the get the most love, and almost everyone finishes with the . The hold up under all that too. If you want traditional Thai, people say go to Elmhurst instead. Waits run long, sometimes over an hour.

“honestly it was even better than i expected. we got the khao soi which was super rich and comforting without being too heavy, and the disco fries which were kind of a weird fusion but somehow really worked.”

“Thai Diner is one of my favorites in the city but I'm pretty disappointed in the new changes they've made.”

“It’s amaaaaazing. I don’t care if it’s been fusioned for the American palate it’s a top tier experience I go there once a month and bring anyone visiting there.”
H3
“I thought the vibe in there was really cool and it was a really good, unique take on French toast.”

“When it's great it's great. I just wish they were more consistent from visit to visit. The lobster omelet has a thin line between perfect and overcooked, the noodle dishes can be rushed off the wok, etc.”

“I've only been for brunch, but the Thai tea French toast, roti, and Thai cheesesteak are all phenomenal imo. I wouldn't go there for regular Thai food, they excel at fusion dishes.”

“I didn’t like the French toast they gave me. The sauce didn’t go through the bread because they didn’t soak it long enough in the egg and milk mixture.”

“I think the restaurant does a great job fulfilling what it’s trying to do.”

“You’re in for a treat. Place is great.”

“Thai Diner is another great option. Hot take, but I actually prefer their pancakes to Golden Diner – they have shredded coconut in the batter and are served with a pandan custard instead of syrup”

“I'm a sucker for their papaya salad and I add fried chicken on top. It's an amazing combo and the fat from the chicken and acidity from the salad compliment each other so well.”
