I could eat here every night - if only I lived there I had two of my three best meals in NYC at Pongsri. I like already liked Thai food, but this Thai was absolute perfection! The first time I stuck with my traditional favorites likethe Thom Ka Gai soup and Green curry, but on my return visit I branched out and tried something new and I was not disappointed. The manager, Tina ,was gracious and warm and the food delivery was paced just how we wanted... Read More On Citysearchjjpmom 6/18/2009

Very delicious Thai dished I went there with a group of my friends and found that this 37-year-old restaurant offered very friendly services and delicious foods (well, since they have operated the restaurant for 37 years, I would say they must have something good). The price is very reasonable and they would even go so far to customize their dishes to satisfy customers (e.g. one of my friend is allergic to many foods and t...

Fish is not fresh Ths soup was excellent. The fish was terrible, not fresh, left a bad taste on my mouth.
Not going there any time soon. Read More On Citysearchnacazo 2/15/2009
If you like spice, try this! These folks are very accommodating within their own style of food, not to mention very nice. Tai hot has never quite satisfied me in other places. (of course I eat habaneros off the plant) It seems the warnings on most Tai menus are just there for show, but here you will find the heat you crave. Try the Jungle Curry soup and tell them to pump it up a bit too! WARNING:not for the faint of heart!

BEST THAI FOOD IN NYC!!! I've been going to this restaurant for years. I love Thai food so you can't blame me for exploring other Thai restaurants in the city. However, I can't seem to find one restaurant that beat the authentic taste of Thai recipes Pongsri serves. I truly recommend the TOM yUm GounG soup. If you love hot and very spicy soup...you GOTTA ORDER the soup!! Plus, my favorite dish is Pad Kee Mao. The ... Read More On Citysearchle_liu 7/27/2006
Has my respect I'm eaten at Pongsri for a number of years. Its one of the first Thai Restaurants I tried. Over the years, they have gotten better in terms of service and food quality. Would I recommend this place. yes! Their service is near the top in my book. Their staff is quick, friendly and professional. If anyone has my respect.. its this place.

Thai food in chinatown This place is great for cheap eats. The pad thai is a little on the sweet side but if you like sweet, then this is perfect for you! Read More On Citysearchangelx 2/24/2006
not so good me too. i don't understand why people rate this as highly recommend? well, did it use to be good? i don't know, but I'm Thai and have been eating from many restaurant. I'd say that the food is below average. I won't go back. There are plenty of better Thai food out there... Read More On Citysearchabcthaigirl 5/21/2004
Average food. Really don't understand why this joint is rated so highly. The food is pretty average. They tend to overcook the chicken too until its dry and nasty. I've been to other thai restaurants around the city and they are all better. If you want examples , go to pam real thai or wondee siam or even rungsit.

Best Thai in NYC I was lucky enough to find Pongsri on my first visit to NYC, and I have made a point to return on every visit. Being a true lover of Thai food, I usually cannot wat to return!! The restaurant is small and narrow, as are many in NYC, but it is just cozy enough to create a very romantic atmosphere. And the food is absolutely wonderful! My favorite dish is the Pad Thai. Now I know that sounds b... Read More On Citysearcheabruner 8/20/2003
What service?? The curry is good here and they have a good vegitarian menu which is a plus. Skewers of beef and chicken was tasty..the only problem with this place is the slow service Read More On Citysearchsoogah 3/27/2003
Thai iced coffee I give it a five for the Thai ice coffee alone. The food was not the best Thai food I've had. In fact, it seemed like American style Chinese food. Perhaps, the lunch time meals are catered to the coutroom/city hall crowd and less to the natives. Read More On Citysearchlynn_nyc 3/7/2003
Best Thai Curries in Town If you love Thai curries as I do, this is the place to go. My favorite is the Penang curry. The rest of the food is great too, but I have been to places with better noodle dishes. Read More On Citysearchjason_mckeon 11/9/2002
Best Thai Having lived in NYC (Upper West Side) for three years, I would always make the trek to Chinatown. Now, whenever I travel to NYC, Ponsgri Thai (Bayard location) is my first stop.
The soups are light and delicious and cold salads VERY SPICY. Not for the faint of heart. OK, so five star environment, this is not, but come in jeans, ready to eat heartily.
I have never had to wait for a table and ... Read More On Citysearchchanelmi 9/5/2002
Good Thai Food The food here is pretty good. The price is average for Thai food. They seat you very fast since it doesn't usually get so busy at this location. The service is pretty good too, but that you can find in most of Thai restaurant anyway. Their seafood dishes are a bit too pricey though they are good. The decoration is nice, but being in chinatown makes this place not so romantic. Read More On Citysearchfoodeater 8/13/2002
