Nate DorrNovember 23, 2014Incredible unusual Thai variations. Pomelo salad, the namesake soup with fried sweet potatoes and. Tower of noodles and a very dramatic red snapper with bitter melon soup -- all great.
Erika PerziJuly 11, 2016Kao Soy noodles delicious, asked for shrimp vs chicken; totally worked. Calamari super tender. Pad Thai next time, looked great. Def best Thai in Bklyn. Cash only.
Liz CourtneyJuly 29, 2015My favorite new place to eat in Red Hook. Try the Kao Soy, a sort of noodle curry stew with chicken legs that just fall off the bone. Also the sausage is spicy and delicious.
Malin Ali BeySeptember 6, 2016The Kao Soy dish is excellent, It takes me to Chiang Mai. Authentic, great Thai food no long lines like other Thai restaurants in the neighbourhood. This place gets my whole hearted endorsement.
Ben RMay 4, 2015Pla pad cha spicy fish with herbs and LOTS of chilies may have been the spiciest dish I've ever had, and I've done the phaal curry challenge. Intense! As everyone says, the food here is on point.
Andrew JorqueraOctober 19, 2016Massaman curry is absurdly good. I was in Chiang Mai two months ago and the food here brought me back to the flavors of Thailand i experienced during my backpacking trip. gotta check this place out
Sue ApfelbaumSeptember 14, 2014everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and seriously spicy. had and loved the papaya salad, pad kee mow, crispy shrimp rolls, and the Chinese sausage, broccoli and sticky rice dish.- Phenomenal authentic Thai. Would suggest you arrive early as word is out on how good this place is. Get involved!

Nick ContiFebruary 15, 2015Best For: Noodle soup aficionadosTrue to the restaurant’s name, the must-order item here is kao soy, the fragrant, coconut-scented curry native to Chiang Mai. Thai native Kanlaya Supachana doles out
Chris SeshieApril 9, 2015The pad thai with chicken (I added shrimp) was absolutely exquisite. Perfectly seasoned and the presentation was amazing. Although this is waaaaaay out of my way, I'll be back.
Charles BJanuary 4, 2015absolutely delicious, authentic northern Thai. a Red Hook gem. opened recently, no booze yet, but go before the secret is out.
Oliver DelgadoJune 22, 2015Get the kao soy at this eponymous restaurant. And anything else that strikes your fancy — everything is fantastic. You'll probably get a wait. Luckily there's several bars right nearby.
Emily ScheerJuly 16, 2016Fried banana blossom is amazing and unusual. Hide portion. Also had a dish that was sausage and pork. Delicious!
EllenJune 7, 2015Best Thai food we've had outside of Thailand! Kaosoy, Thai sausage, pad kaprow, calamari, dumings and curry puffs were all fantastic! We will be back!
AmateurConciergeMay 26, 2015The namesake curry noodles are amazing. Skip the som tum, it's a let down. Thought the puff, like a Thai samosa, was pretty good too! Take out IS available!
Suneeth KmSeptember 27, 2015Shrimp pad Thai, chicken dumpling ,crab Rangoon , banana blossom,papaya salad is must have
- Liz CourtneyNovember 8, 2014The namesake dish = way good. So happy to have this addition to our neighborhood.
Sarah T.July 25, 2015The Kao Soy dish was awesome! Get it! If I could redo the meal, I'd skip the Steak dish off their signature dishes..
Premshree PillaiJanuary 28, 2015Delicious, unpretentious northern Thai food (read: not Americanized). Order pretty much anything, but definitely get the Sai-Oua.
Auri GhatakMarch 10, 2015The Kao soy is one of the best things I have eaten period. You will not regret the long trek here.
Tori KJuly 11, 2015Something's changed :( bad music, surly service. Empty @7pm..wouldn't let us sit at a table of our choice; made us sit in the front where the sun was overwhelming. Rushed us.Not sure I'll be back!
