Gothamist was excited to see this sign pasted in a window on 23rd between 6th and 7th Avenues the other morning. The Chinatown location of Pongsri touts itself as the oldest family-run and operated Thai restaurant in New York City, and there are two additional locations -- one in Gramercy and one in the theatre district. We definitely welcome this addition to our neighborhood, as we are in dire need of some decent Thai food within delivery range of the office. And we particularly like the chili pepper dotting the "i" -- a very nice (and spicy) touch, just the way we like our Thai food.
Other locations:
106 Bayard St at Baxter Street, Chinatown, (212) 349-3132
311 2nd Ave at 18th Street, Gramercy, (212) 477-4100
244 W 48th St between Broadway and 8th Avenue, (212) 582-3392




chelsea thai in the chelsea market has excellent thai food, better than pongsri as far as i'm concerned.
I'll check it out -- and keep my fingers crossed that the delivery range extends far enough uptown to include my office!
Pongsri in Midtown is one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in the city. The Pla Rad Prik (deep fried fish, usually red snapper, with a sweet and tangy chilie sauce is really tasty). The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable.
