replying to u/Throwaway1234498766: What do you think of Somtum Der (EV)?
“I personally prefer the Bangkok-style Somtum (i.e., Somtum Thai) at Wondee Siam and the Esan-style Somtum (with crabs and a hint of plara) at Hug Esan. Wondee Siam also has a delightful Somtum Kapi (with shrimp paste).”

“Wondee Siam in Hell's Kitchen serves up a Crispy Pork Basil that stands out for its homemade crispy pork, perfectly balanced fattiness, and the authentic use of Thai holy basil. The infusion of real Thai spicy flavors, courtesy of the basil, elevates this dish above the rest in the city.”

replying to u/Healthy-Ordinary-592: If you are going to go to Brooklyn for Win Son make the right choice and get your pizza and bagel fix there too. Also, Leo in Williamsburg has been serving Apollo Bagels for 3 years and you don’t have to wait in line with the hipsters.
“I would choose Wondee Siam on 9th Ave in Hells Kitchen over any of the fancy upscale Thai spots and not just because it’s a better deal. That’s the most authentic Thai food I have found in the entire country.”

replying to u/xkmasada: Wondee Siam at Chelsea has the best Thai, followed closely by Pure Thai a block or so away. Pure Thai has the lead on noodle dishes, but Won Dee is better in general cuisine. Hug Esan at Elmhurst has the best Esan/Isarn/Northeast Thai food.
