SaiTong Thai - New York, NY

I've been here a few times solo and enjoyed all my visits. Sat at the bar a few times and the service was very friendly and efficient. The food is seasoned well and full of flavor. Last visit I started with a curry pancake - like an empanada with I believe ground chicken, scallions, onions and curry powder. Served with the ubiquitous cucumber and onion tangy dipping sauce. It was nicely done. For my main I had a basil stir fry with chicken which was good as well. Portions are a healthy size. I'll be back for sure.

The food at SaiTong Thai exceeded my expectations, especially for a restaurant near Times Square. The Golden Sea appetizer was fresh and flavorful with a bright orange glaze, and the Chicken Satay was tender with a rich peanut sauce and refreshing cucumber relish. The Short Ribs Chu Chee stood out as the highlight, with soft, slow-cooked ribs in a creamy, aromatic curry. The Mango Delight made a great finish, pairing coconut sticky rice with mango ice cream.

In NYC to see a Matinee and went here after for dinner. I had the Chicken Sata and the peanut sauce was very good. Then my main was the 'Chumphon' Pineapple Curry. A Thai pineapple southern curry with mussels and basil, topped with grilled sea bass fillets. Probably one of the top five Thai meals I've ever had. It was simply amazing, I highly recommend it, it's special.
