Golden Thai Brooklyn Reviews
The Food is Delicious, The Customer Service is Excellent. I recommended anyone to come to this Restaurant. I am positive to come back to dine in at this restaurant.
Some of the best drunken noodle I’ve ever had and good price. Little small but great if you want a take out place.
Very affordable food, lunch special is great! The staff was very kind too
The presentation was very attractive. The tofu had the perfect flavor and texture.
Very nice and friendly staff. Food is amazing! My girlfriend and I come here very often and are never disappointed! Would absolutely recommend this spot to a friend. :)
Lovely spot! I got the green curry and it was excellent. I recommend this place if you are in the area and craving Thai food.
This is one of my favorite loval spots! The prices are very reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious. It’s a very quaint spot so if you want to go alone and get some work done or come with a friend or two this is the perfect spot!
Very good drunken noodles. I came here after rehearsing with my hardcore band ACT. We’re playing on Sunday in Rockaway. Our set in 9 minutes.
I’ve tried many things on the menu and the food is always served hot and fresh, flavors always hit the mark, prices are very fair. I suggest dining in some time, Nancy provides excellent and thoughtful service.
Get the drunken noodles w peanut sauce - SO GOOD. No alcohol here but there is a deli across the street you can get some. Service was amazing and I’d happily come back.
so tasty, such a quite space. only a few tables but friendly staff and great music. i got the drunken noodle with tofu, would recommend!!!!!
The mock duck is insane. So good. And I love the curry puffs. Highly recommend.
I come here at least once a week. Love this place. Great food, great prices, great atmosphere. I’ll be back next week :)
The host was super hospitable , soft spoken and kind. I tried the Drunken Noodles and it was a 10/10 . I highly recommend this place if u want variety and rich flavor .
This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Bushwick!! Wonderful staff, great portions, and beautiful plating! Highly recommend the Drunken Noodles and the Pad See Ew :)
Food is good! Usually only get it for delivery/pickup and never have any issues. Would recommend!
I love this place!! I live nearby have been coming here for a few years food is always incredible and prices are great! And decorated so cute the mango sticky rice is my fav
Always friendly! I always get the spicy fried lunch special. Large portions for the price as well! My go-to spot.
If I could give 6 stars I would! The service is always impeccable and the food is delicious. Thank you again.
Such a cute spot! The vibe inside is so relaxing. Food was just what we needed and hit the spot.
TL;DR Golden Thai is excellent, high quality Thai and a cool atmosphere. I came for lunch and tried the spicy fried rice and some fried tofu and it was awesome. The flavors were on point, dry sweat Thai heat broken by bright crisp veggies and the tufo was crispy without being dry. The atmosphere inside is small but well laid-out with a very Brooklynish vibe. I've been a Bushwick resident for 8 years and Golden Thai is our neighborhood's answer to the likes of Williamsburg Thai; excellent Thai food, at a good price and in a cool setting. I no longer have to choose between my love of Thai food and my hatred of the L train. This is the restaurant the neighborhood needed!
I really enjoyed the food. Whenever I’m in town, I always try to stop by.
The food is delicious and the amount is very generous. You can eat twice because the plates are big , totally worth the cash. The place is small but cute and chick. The Thai Ice tea and the Mango juice are horrible don't waste money on that. But again , the food is Yum. The lady was alone and the restaurant was full so I had to call her to refill my water. I will buy from here again inside or take out. I recommend this restaurant.
Great value and generous servings. Food is flavorful and staff are kind. I liked Penang curry.
The best Thai food in the area. 10/10 would recommend, I order from these guys at least once a month.
Take out from here is consistently very good. Eating in is great too- thoughtful decor and friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend this neighborhood spot.
Amazing food and a great atmosphere. The crispy pork and tom yum are definitely worth trying.
Love this place! The food comes fast, and is delicious, the service is great and love the decor. No complaints here!!
Lovely cozy atmosphere, decent sized menu and had a tasty seafood noodle soup to warm you up during the winter
The food is amazing, my husband orders all the time. Nancy who works there is also amazing, always inviting energy & smiles. My fave dish is the green curry :) Pernilla & Chino
amazing service!! incredible, delicious food!! LOVE it here!! really good vibes inside :) food came out so quickly and filled my tummy up
A very comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy dinner. We had a great time and the low lights and the vibe really made a difference. The food was really tasty and I will come back soon.
fresh, colorful vegetables made my curry a joy to eat. service is great and the decor inside is memorably weird and entertaining to look at if you ever come to dine in.
Where else can you get a lunch special for under $11 (that will probably be enough food for two meals)? The service is always great and it’s a lovely atmosphere if you want to eat inside.
I love ordering from here and enjoyed the food everytime. Such nice staff and comforting atmosphere. I recommend and would go here all the time for Thai
I’ve become a regular here! The food is amazing! The staff is always friendly and fast. Definitely one of my fav pad Thais I’ve had!
Pad Cashew Nuts Sauteed is the best dish, I order this regularly. Quality is the best. Highly recommended.
first of all, it’s so cute in here!! second - the service was outstanding (Nancy is so sweet) and the food is 10/10!! wait also so cheap like thank you so much this place is such a gem
Definitely one of my fav thai experiences ever! Very fresh, authentic and with a hint of unique soul to the food, hard to describe! So good! And the prices are very compassionate!
The team here strikes the perfect service balance. Eating lets us travel through cultural experiences. Their various items all demonstrate quality. Their team treats customers attentively. The wait won't prevent my regular returns.
Very good! We had the duck rolls appetizer which was flavorful and perfectly crisp, and the massaman curry with pork which had very well rounded flavor! I’ve also had lunch here and they have great deals!
The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Tom Yum soup with beef and shrimp, and it had the perfect balance of hot and sour flavors. It’s by far the best Thai food I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back with my friends and family! The service was excellent, and the lady serving us was so kind and friendly. 💚 A must-visit for all Thai food lovers! The coconut custard is cherry on top! 😍
restaurant has incredible yummy food. I recommend the spicy drunken noodles and spring rolls. So good. This place never disappoints. And the server was really nice and attentive
Golden Thai have singlehandedly gotten me through this pandemic. They are efficient and the food is outstanding. At this point I have had the pleasure to try all of their curries and each one is better than the next. I highly recommend helping them out and placing your order. If my review doesn’t have you convinced I am attaching photos of their delicious meals. The sauce on the ribs is going to make you wish you had bought a second order. Curry is always smooth and has a lovely kick but never super spicy. There are a few fried appetizers that might be a little too greasy but overall they are very good. I’m looking forward to normalcy when I can visit them in person because the decor of the restaurant looks very nice too.
I ate all of my food because it was so delicious!!! I also had a friend with me who want very hungry and she said the food was yummy. I had ribs for the appetizer, drunken noodles with crispy pork, and Thai curry rice for the entree. It was flavorful and happy!!! Whoever cooked the food put joy in it!!
I love this place — warm atmosphere with lovely staff, and very solid food. I got extra vegetables with the curry and the veggies were plentiful and fresh
It’s really cozy, great food and service too! :) will definitely be back the atmosphere is very nice.
I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and have ordered from them countless times, they never disappoint. I've gotten other folks hooked on them, lol. Today I was rushing to a meeting and only had a short window to eat, so I called my order ahead and stopped in on my way to the train. When I arrived, they had already set a table for me with my drink ready, and my food came out within minutes. I wasn’t expecting that level of thoughtfulness, but as others have said, they truly are the sweetest people. I was able to enjoy a delicious lunch and still make my meeting on time.
Love coming here. The music and atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food is delicious. Great customer service. Sam behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. I’ve had their pineapple fried rice with chicken and it was very yummy. The desert sticky mango rice was also amazing. The mango was fresh and juicy. Thank you! I will continue coming back.
Authentic Thai restaurant in Bushwick. With nyc being saturated with upscale expensive Thai restaurants, Golden Thai offers affordable prices and cozy atmosphere that has its own character. really good lunch special deals too! We ordered duck noodle soup (15$), drunken noodles (11$), fried fish cake (half eaten) - all delicious and on par with the expensive Thai food I’ve had in NYC, except much more affordable. Recommend!
we had a lovely time here on a snowy night :) we got a drunken noodle and panang curry. both delicious and excellent value! we felt full and had leftovers. i especially liked the eclectic wall decor.
My son brought home his leftovers from work from this restaurant. After driving an hour and a half to get home I was able to sample the leftovers of Drunen Noodles. Let me just say I was willing to drive to New York from New Jersey. The flavor of the spices, the tenderness of the beef, the Noodles being just right. If this is how good leftovers taste, I cant wait to visit this establishment. Chef's kiss to the chef, amazing dish!
If you are looking for a great quick Thai spot to either eat in or take out, this place hits it right on the spot! Came here after a gym session and wanted Thai flavors but didn’t want to wait too long and a large crowd. I got the pad Thai and my lady got the Drunken noodle, if a Thai place can’t make those two right they probably aren’t going to stay for long. Luckily Golden Thai made those two dishes perfectly. I would highly recommend this spot!
Love this place. Highly recommend the noodle dishes, they have a wide variety of protein sources including vegetarian options. The yellow curry is okay, not like stellar but definitely not bad. The vibe inside is eclectic. The staff is very kind. Garlic-free options are available as well!
Golden Thai had been one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Brooklyn forever!! The portions are huge yet so affordable, especially for New York. The quality of food is on par- my personal favorites are their pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, red curry, beef pho, etc., and all of their apps and desserts are great. The ambiance is so cozy and intimate- I love the interior decorations. Really could not recommend this hole in the wall gem enough!! The staff is so kind and friendly as a plus :)
Small space inside but perfect for a smaller groups of 2-4. The food is delicious and the service was amazing as well. We ordered the wings, duck rolls, nam sod salad, drunken noodles and mango sticky rice. I would order them all again. Decent prices as well
Had the crispy duck salad and Penang curry. Both dishes were super flavorful. The atmosphere is very cozy as well. Great for any company. Also my phone was dead and the server was super kind and let me charge my phone. Overall highly recommend!!
I recently visited Golden Thai restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a nice balance between casual and stylish. The staff was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, which made the whole visit feel comfortable. The seafood noodle soup was comforting and flavorful, with a rich broth that carried a nice balance of spice and depth. The seafood tasted fresh, and the noodles were cooked just right, soaking up all the flavors. A hearty, satisfying dish I’d gladly order again. Overall, it’s a great spot whether you’re looking for a relaxed dinner with friends or a quick meal full of flavor. I’d definitely come back to try more dishes from their menu.
We had a wonderful meal here! The mango salad was so refreshing with just the right balance of sweet and tangy flavors, and the cashew nut tofu was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The owner is Thai and was very kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Everything was delicious and we left very satisfied. Highly recommend!
Golden Thai Restaurant is truly a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for casual meals. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. Every dish is packed with authentic Thai flavors you can really taste the care and quality in every bite. I can’t recommend Golden Thai enough; it’s one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again!
I've been a loyal customer of Golden Thai since they first opened, and it consistently delivers exceptional Thai cuisine in Brooklyn. What keeps me coming back is the authentic flavors and quality across their entire menu. My absolute favorite dish has to be their pineapple fried rice - it's simply outstanding. The rice has that perfect wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor, and the sweet chunks of fresh pineapple create this amazing balance with the savory elements. They don't skimp on the ingredients either - you'll find plenty of shrimp, cashews, and raisins mixed throughout, giving every bite different textures and flavors. The portions are great too. The tom yum soup is wonderfully aromatic with just the right amount of heat, and their onion soup is absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Whether you're craving something mild or want to test your spice tolerance, they nail the heat levels perfectly when you specify your preference. After being a customer since they first opened, I can confidently say Golden Thai maintains consistently high standards. It's become my go-to spot for reliable, delicious Thai food in the neighborhood. Highly recommended for both Thai food newcomers and longtime enthusiasts!
Finally! A Thai place that actually has flavors of Thai. There so many Thai places everywhere and yet it’s very hard to find one that has spice and full flavor. This place has it! Delicious fried rice and drunken noodle that is smothered in spices and seasonings. Definitely would recommend coming in or getting take out. It’s not a very large place so good to go in a small group, alone or just with another person. The server was very kind and our food came very quickly. Delicious! I will definitely be back.
TLDR: Very small space but BIG on flavors! Affordable and delicious food that tastes like home cooking! I can't wait to come back! Came here around 7:30pm on Saturday with my friend after a comedy show. They only have 3 tables. (There's another table by the door but I think they use it as a work desk?) The server was so sweet. The Thai iced tea was not too sweet! Perfect for my geriatric millennial Asian palette. 😂 We split 3 items. The beer braised crispy ribs with sriracha dipping sauce (4 pieces) was sticky and sweet. I was impressed their sriracha was the OG Thai version that's less spicy and more umami than the American version. I gauge Thai places on their drunken noodle. Got mine with pork and it was spicy and the noodles was impressively chewy! The pad prig khing with beef was spicy and delicious! My friend said she doesn't eat vegetables but she ate these! Both entrees were ordered medium spicy and I thought it was the right amount of heat. I have a pretty high spice tolerance though. If you can't handle spice, order the mild! Cute decor, prices are very affordable, flavors were very authentic, and portions were generous so great for sharing! Clean unisex bathroom in the back (they will need to unlock the door for you). Seems like this place is more popular for delivery rather than dine in. Looking forward to coming back here soon to try more dishes! ***UPDATE 2/18/24: Came back a second time with a different friend and we were very impressed with the food! We ordered vegetarian spring rolls, pad see ew with tofu (especially loved their tofu preparation!), and penang curry with pork (I would get it without pineapple next time and spicier). I guess my new goal in life is to try everything on their menu. See you soon! 😂
Good vibes! Very kind staff, pretty good food 💗💗
Staff was polite and stay engaged with me throughout my meal. The food was delicious, definitely would come back !
Have ordered delivery a few times. Very consistent. Fast delivery. Food is solid. Not the best Thai you'll ever have but it is good. Errs on the saucy side. Only critique is portion size for the crab Rangoon. They aren't exactly cheap and you only get 4 tiny ones with an order with hardly any sauce. Expect more like 6-8.
I live a few blocks from the restaurant so I always order. Starting with the lovely lady that takes my order, very amicable, the food is always delicious, well prepared, well packaged, always hot. Absolutely the best all around. That’s a rare thing nowadays. Thank you for caring, such great people, all around.🫶
Not sure what happened here but I specifically asked for mushrooms in my drunken noodle and I did not get any when they used to have that in the drunken noodles
I ordered the “Pad Cashew Nuts” with chicken. Rarely any decent sized pieces of chicken. It also got delivered at the very last minute of the delivery time frame… I live three blocks away- I regret not going to pick it up. By the time I called inquiring about my order they said it had dispatched already…… food arrived cold and soggy.
Ordered the Drunken Noodle & Thai iced tea for delivery, and had a disappointing meal. The thai tea tasted more watered down than I would expect, even though there was no ice in the cup. The noodles were spicy, but managed to have very little sauce or flavor. In addition to that, there were large clumps of the rice noodles stuck together that had no sauce whatsoever (pictured). Finally, I understand there are variations in recipies but I have never had drunken noodles without basil, and this recipe either had basil that was so bland it didnt taste like basil or only used spinach. The additions of mushrooms (and possibly spinach) were also not what I am accustomed to.
I have been ordering from this place on a regular basis for a while now and every time it was really good. Excellent flavors. So I am sad to leave this review. I recently made an order and got very sick the next day. The only other thing I ate that day was prepackaged so I am confident I got food-borne illness from the takeout. Since I noticed the dumplings changed flavor slightly too recently, I’m wondering if they have a new cook? Either way, to the restaurant: please double check your food temperature and handling.
I ordered drunken noodles, calamari, chicken screw. Drunken noodles: very very dry, no flavors and extremely spicy, like I like spicy food but this was so spicy my lips and tongue were red and swollen. Calamari: dry and soggy, do not recommend for delivery Chicken screw: not even sure if it was chicken, the texture was a bit off for chicken but it’s taste pretty good and the peanut sauce went great with it. Sadly will not be ordering from here again.
Very very mediocre Thai food. Almost inedible. I ordered through Caviar because whoever the food photographer is, must have styled the Pad See Ew like a magician. Im talking white meat chicken chunks with the skin on. Looks traditional and delicious. (See comparison photos below.) I swear I’ve fallen for this trick too many times with this place. That’s why I’m here writing a bad review. The actual dish is shredded dry chicken covered in way too much sauce. The noodles are all stuck together into a chunk of chewy gunk and vegetables range from decently cooked to almost frozen. I honestly don’t understand how they achieved to have different temperatures of vegetables in one dish. Will never order from here again. There’s way better options in the neighborhood.
I went on Sunday night and I ordered a Thai ice tea. The person who was on the counter was not even greeting at the customer and she was very rude . She was like very mad and a person to have that kind of attitude should not working on customer service. It was a really bad impression, she even put less product on my order nothing good you should care more about the experience you provide.
I ordered Panang curry with tofu for delivery, but unfortunately the tofu pieces tasted and smelled off — almost spoiled. Some had white spots and an unpleasant texture. I couldn’t finish the dish. I’ve enjoyed food from here before, so this was disappointing. Hoping it was just a one-off issue.
Do not waste your money here the food is GROSS!!!. I have never tasted so many different things so nasty and cooked wrong it was disgusting. I do not know how the restaurant is open. I ordered for my whole family and wasted a lot of money. I would never order from there again. Close it down. I can’t believe they served the food that I received to anyone, Nothing was edible. It was disgusting.. 🤢 First of all, I do not have a restricted account so since you want me to go more in detail people will order from you and they will see themselves. The shrimp was not cooked right it was mushy nasty and stale shrimp should not be overcooked and mushy. My daughter got sick do not order the crispy. Pork is dried burnt crap, You know how when you reheat chicken and Old is stringy with no taste and you just chew it and you can’t even swallow it. The pork was an edible. Do not get the salmon so I got the drunken noodles and I got one with beef, salmon, shrimp the salmon looked like a soggy white chicken McNugget. I’m thinking I’m gonna get a fresh piece of fish, but it looked like some shriveled up nasty can’t even compare what it looked to, but it was disgusting and the beef you just chewing on it I did not eat it. My dogs would not eat it. It had no taste. I tried the duck rolls again dry and hard and that was old meat. You can tell when duck is old taste like something reheated and refried. The crab Rangoon didn’t have no crab that just taste like cream mushed in there and the ribs I bought was inedible because they were so burnt. I spent $150 with you and it was a waste of money. Nothing over here is a lie. You are a scam. Your food is trash and you should do better for your customers and then have the nerve to serve small portions that are pricey for this experience! Nobody wanna sit here and spend money for a family and waste that much money on food so yes, I will give a review because it upsets me, 4am in the morning while my stomach hurt and my daughter is sick to warn people, And by looking at a lot of your other customers, they’re complaining about the same issues also, No accountability, So instead of sitting here and just trying to say, “oh I’m your competitor and I’m lying.” Why don’t you stop lying and you do better for that trash of a restaurant and serve people quality food. There is people out here who is not even blessed to be able to own a business and you have one and you serving people trash. So instead of sitting here saying I’m a lie, like the Public can’t buy the food for themselves and see, which they already do because I’m looking at your Bad reviews on several platforms, very bad and maybe the ones that are good are your friends and relatives or something you paid for. That was not Food!! Yes What goes around comes around 👏🏽.
Very dishonest staff! They charged my card twice for the same order and were very rude and unhelpful when I attempted to get the refund. Reply to Business: I called you less than two minutes after the order was made and told you it wasnt suppose to be a pick up. I was told by whom ever answered the phone to make the second order for delivery and the 1st would be canceled and refunded. You All lied to doordash telling them both orders were made and ready and I was then charged for both! Yall are dishonest theives. When I attempted to call your store back, yall kept picking up and hanging up instead of speaking to me and also explaining to doordash the conversation we had. I also called doordash that night, and was told yall said the pickup was made and ready in the app. Yall know I never got that pickup order and your cook never made it because you got the heads up call from me. The honest thing to do was speak to doordash also and let them know what happend and what was told to me by YOUR STAFF. DISHONEST AND LYING RESTAURANT, WHO STEALS FROM HONEST AND PAYING CUSTOMERS!
