Check out Red Hook's first Thai restaurant, Kao Soy. It offers offers pad thai and som tum, and more authentic dishes of Northern Thailand, like the namesake kao soy, or curry noodles. Read more

Incredible 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.

Kao 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.

My 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.

The 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.

Pla 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.

Massaman 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

Best 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

The 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.

absolutely delicious, authentic northern Thai. a Red Hook gem. opened recently, no booze yet, but go before the secret is out.

Get 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.

Fried banana blossom is amazing and unusual. Hide portion. Also had a dish that was sausage and pork. Delicious!
EllenJune 7, 2015
Best 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, 2015
The 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!

Shrimp pad Thai, chicken dumpling ,crab Rangoon , banana blossom,papaya salad is must have

The namesake dish = way good. So happy to have this addition to our neighborhood.
Premshree PillaiJanuary 28, 2015
Delicious, unpretentious northern Thai food (read: not Americanized). Order pretty much anything, but definitely get the Sai-Oua.
Sarah T.July 25, 2015
The Kao Soy dish was awesome! Get it! If I could redo the meal, I'd skip the Steak dish off their signature dishes..
Emily ScheerJuly 22, 2016
Banana fritters were the best and I had never heard of them before.
Auri GhatakMarch 10, 2015
The Kao soy is one of the best things I have eaten period. You will not regret the long trek here.

Something'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!
