Diner Review №2

Food was cold until it was brought to the table.
Flavors weee milder compared to other nyc favorites

Diner Review №3

Found Kraam Thai Kitchen via yelp. Visited back in Sep'24.

Two of us ordered:
confit chicken khao soi $25
chicken pad see ew $22

Flavors were good. Portions were on the smaller side. So value gets docked a star.

Nice ambiance inside.

Diner Review №4

Saw some recommendation social media posts and decided to give it a try! I went there for lunch with my friend and we got the soft shell crab curry and the beef cheek massaman. Both are super flavorful and well-cooked. They’re perfect to company with rice. The restaurant has a cute interior and it’s not too busy even on weekends. Totally recommend!

Diner Review №5

The options for vegan and vegetarian dishes were quite limited, but the ambiance was excellent, and the service was good.

Diner Review №6

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Diner Review №7

Great elevated Thai restaurant amazing dishes! Loved the prawn Satay and the ribeye with rice was very soft and delicious! also i highly recommend the desert! it was amazing loved that coconut ice cream with the lava cake!!

Diner Review №8

Food was delicious! We absolutely loved the crispy Branzino! My friends didn’t enjoy their cocktails as much, but I loved my drink the Yuzi cocktail. The ambience was nice, can be a bit loud, the waitstaff was friendly and explained the dish well. I would come back!

Diner Review №9

Kraam is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city! They have a very creative menu which gets refreshed constantly, and the ingredients taste fresh and delicious.

We love bringing friends whenever people are in the mood for Thai food. The decor is also very cute!

Diner Review №10

Went here with the wife for date night. Made reservations ahead of time. It was fairly busy when we showed up. They sat us at one of the tables with a bench as the inside seat. The service was top notch. They were very attentive and my glass of water was always full. I ordered the Choo chee (branzino) and my wife had the pad Thai. I also had the mango sticky rice (cocktail) Which was very tasty and tasted like a boozy mango lassi. The food was very much on point. My fish dish hit all the marks and was spicy with a little bit of sweet. They didn't hold back on the spice either. The pad Thai was quite flavorful and the shrimp in hit were huge. Ok so with all the positives out of the way, I do have a small complaint. The bench style seating was quite uncomfortable. By the time we were ready to leave, my back was in pain from sitting on the bench for so long and I don't even have back issues. It felt like I had been sitting on a rock for an hour. I would highly recommend they put some cushions on the bench or just do normal chair seats and get rid of the bench altogether.

Diner Review №11

the dessert was scrumptious

Diner Review №12

Lovely decor. I especially adored the light fixtures and the silverware.

Sea bass was amazing. However the pad see ew was overwhelmingly sweet... Chive sticks were great, especially the sauce they came with. Lava cake was served a bit too soft to hold shape.

Diner Review №13

They've done the impossible. They made braised beef dry.

Diner Review №14

Diner Review №15

Totally would recommend this place. The food was great, they put a twist on Thai food and it was tasty with good size portion will return.

I recently visited Kraam Thai Restaurant, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for the evening. The service was impeccable, with special mention to Gavin, who went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable.

The food was nothing short of amazing. We indulged in the lobster dish, curry chicken, and drunken noodles, all of which were bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The non-alcoholic drinks were refreshing and paired wonderfully with the meal.

To top it all off, the owner was extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. They truly made my friend’s birthday celebration extra special – she said it was the best birthday she’s ever had!

If you’re looking for exceptional Thai cuisine with top-notch service in a welcoming atmosphere, Kraam Thai is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back!

Diner Review №19

I celebrated my birthday here, and it was an incredible experience! Our server, Gavin, was so sweet and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The entire staff was super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Diner Review №20

I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Our server, Gavin, was incredibly sweet and attentive, and the entire staff was so caring and welcoming. The lobster was absolutely amazing—definitely a must-try! I also really enjoyed their signature coconut chicken, which was delicious. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service!

Diner Review №21

We visited Kraam early on a Saturday morning, drawn by its beautiful ambiance and high expectations. The restaurant’s design and atmosphere were undeniably inviting, creating a great first impression.

Kraam appears to embrace the trend of showcasing chef-driven dishes, which I understand and appreciate. However, while the food was decent and thoughtfully prepared, the service fell short and diminished the overall experience.

One particular server stood out for his lack of warmth and attentiveness. From the moment we arrived, his demeanor was unwelcoming. When asked if we had a reservation, I replied that we did not, and his response felt dismissive and lacked professionalism. He barely smiled, and we had to flag him down for basic needs like water refills and other requests. My husband was also confused about his dish, thinking the meat was undercooked, though it was clearly stated on the menu as “seared.” The server handled the concern politely by explaining the preparation, but this moment didn’t make up for the rest of the lackluster service.

That said, the food runner was polite and efficient, offering a small positive note in an otherwise underwhelming service experience.

While the ambiance and the concept of chef-driven dishes are commendable, the service needs significant improvement. The current level of service detracts from the upscale dining experience Kraam seems to be aiming for, making it feel less refined than other comparable restaurants.

Diner Review №24

Kevin the bartender and Binh the host was amazing and took care of us.

Diner Review №25

The vibe is very nice. The appetizer and the beef is pretty good. The fish dish and the dessert w. Durian is interesting, but not quite to my taste.

Diner Review №26

Really good food and atmosphere, we will come back!

Diner Review №27

worst experience, arrived early for reservation but still have to wait for more than 30 mins, served never came check in, showed attitude the entire time

Diner Review №28

The restaurant is quite nice looking inside. I liked their roasted vegetables green curry. Their pak mor was pretty tasty and had a spicy kick to it. The pad see eew was okay. Dessert was a matcha yuzu cheesecake with ice cream and it was okay. I enjoyed their White Samui non-alcoholic cocktail, made with fresh coconut cream.

Diner Review №29

뉴욕은 세계 음식의 전람회 장소입니다. 세계적으로 유명한 태국음식을 제대로 즐길 수 있는 식당입니다.

Diner Review №30

Grilled sweet corn and papaya salad followed by green curry with chicken. Perfectly made.

Diner Review №31

Food wise - I wanted something more thai authentic but this was more towards a fusion? Its not bad but I guess its not something I am looking for... the pad thai is kinda delicious. The fried fish is pretty good as well.

Diner Review №32

Tom Yam was very rich in seafood and tasty. Pad Thai was tender and delicious. Loved their mocktails

Diner Review №33

Pleasant Thai restaurant with decent food and good service. Came in for brunch. Not cheap. Portions were not big, but ok . The atmosphere is also very pleasant

Diner Review №34

Such a beautiful restaurant, great ambiance, really amazing food (and iced tea) and the staff are so friendly! Had an amazing experience here, I didn’t get to try a dessert but they sounded fantastic and presentation on everything was beautiful!

Diner Review №35

Good food and amazing service. The Tom yum talay is dope

Diner Review №36

What a delightful lunch we had. This pretty, aromatic, peaceful spot with fresh flowers was incredibly tasty with super service. The flavors were specific and unique on the sea bass with a lime chilli dressing& microgreens. The spicy tofu was perfection, & plentiful!

Diner Review №37

Excellent flavors! We thoroughly enjoyed the Sea Bass special and the Spicy Basil Tofu (Ka Prow). Peaceful decor and chill vibe. Friendly and patient service.

Diner Review №38

Food was excellent, starters to deserts. Especially Pad Thaï and sticky rice. I would 100% recommand !

Durian cheese pie does not look like the picture that it is online at all. Waiter seems to know that and I won't recommend this place this again.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

“Kang Som” is so good and portion is great for sharing. Ribeye garlic fried rice is my favorite too. Their service is amazing. Will definitely come back

Diner Review №45

Wonderful Thai restaurant around NoMad area.
I had Beef Ribeye fried rice really good.
Don’t miss Koi tuna(spicy tuna tartare) that was amazing. The staff and service was very nice and helpful. Very recommended and I will come back again.

Diner Review №46

Best beef fried rice in the city! And the new espresso martini is to die for. Staff is so sweet and attentive, it’s become my new regular spot, can’t recommend enough!

Diner Review №47

Phenomenal. Egg fried rice was incredible. Fluffy rice that doesn't stick to itself with flavor bursts everywhere. The pad Thai was also a stand out. Chewey noodles not too heavy on the sweet or the fish sauce. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №48

Great customer service…not the best Thai food

Diner Review №49

Best black pepper steak I have had ...

Diner Review №50

Came in for a late lunch on a rainy day. The service is friendly and the space is beautiful. Ordered the lunch special khao soi and pad kee mao which basically gets you a complimentary little appetizer. Kee mao was nice and spicy, khao soi was tasty as well. The beef cheek massaman was very tender, but the sauce was bit too sweet and the over fried potatoes did not positively impact the dish. Does not come with rice so we ordered a side of the sticky rice and were presented with the smallest rice known to man.

Diner Review №51

We walked past at lunchtime by chance and was lucky to get a spot at this place. Food is so flavourful and service is fantastic. Some of the best Thai food we have had. Sorry about the photo…food didn’t stand a chance the get a before 😜

I love this place. It's such a beautiful restaurant with delicious authentic Thai dishes. The food was so phenomenal, and the service was brilliant.

Diner Review №54

Mediocre, overpriced food

Diner Review №55

Amazing food. The massaman curry was phenomenal.

Diner Review №56

super yummy food. we tried a lot of entrees and all were delish

Diner Review №57

The food here reminded me of days traveling in Thailand. The lunch portion is generous with very fresh seafood. The service is extremely friendly and fast. The atmosphere is cozy and very clean (even the bathrooms). Thank you for the most delicious lunch!!!

Diner Review №58

First, the interior is beautiful & serene with kind, attentive staff. I always look for a Thai restaurant when I travel and taste green curries everywhere I go.
This is now my top choice. Fresh market vegetables and the perfect green curry.
If you're looking for fresh, savory Thai bursting with flavor - stop searching.

Diner Review №59

This is a one of a kind Thai restaurant!!!!! Beautifully appointed, lush atmosphere, and food is beyond amazing!!! Try the beef massaman curry- out of this world!! Other menu highlights- green vegetable curry, the mango sticky rice drink!! The soft shell crab dish…. Also the Mango sticky rice dessert. The list goes on and on- not to be missed!!

Diner Review №60

Awesome.

Diner Review №61

We tried 5 dishes: confit Chicken, pork belly, Peking duck etc. they are all amazing! Note that portion is really small.
Also ordered matcha yuzi cake, but personally don’t like it (yuzi too sweet and cannot taste matcha flavor)
5 dishes +1 desert $160 before tips

Diner Review №62

So beautifully done from the restaurant decor, warm service and delicious dishes. I will definitely be back!

I have an amazing time at KRAAM. Awesome food! My most favorite dish is Pad Thai. As a Thai, this is one the best Pad Thai I have ever has. The taste is authentic Thai. The staff are so pleasant and helpful, which literally enhances dining experience. The ambience and decoration are stylish, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. I will definitely come back to KRAAM.

Diner Review №69

Great seafood. Fast service. Fair price.

Diner Review №70

Delicious high end Thai food with plenty of gluten free options! My favorite was the crab fried rice

Diner Review №71

I was there last week and ordered Pla Yang that such amazing with flavorful sauce. The plate so fresh. I definitely to back there again.

Diner Review №72

“Chilean Sea bass” is a MUST

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

I had a fantastic dining experience at Kraam with three friends! Despite no reservations, the staff found us a perfect spot and helped us choose delicious dishes. The food was not only super tasty but also beautifully presented. 🤤 The cocktails were equally amazing. We randomly picked this place while in town, and I’m so glad we did! A big thank you to Kraam for the great food and service! Can't wait to return!

Diner Review №77

This was a perfect spot for a date night with my wife! The restaurant is beautiful, the ambiance is energetic & fun, and the food is wonderful - filled with powerful & amazing flavors!! Would highly recommend and plan to go back very soon!

Diner Review №78

Me and my wife were passing by and we decided to try this place, we had not seen any reviews, it was a nice surprise. My wife lived in Asia for many years and she visited Thailand, she loves Thai food. She felt like those days when she visited Thailand. The staff was super helpful and made all adjustments we requested.

The restaurant exudes an enchanting ambiance, offering exquisite cuisine complemented by attentive and gracious service. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №86

The restaurant is beautiful decoration. The staff were very nice and welcome. The food is creative and so good. I recommend Shrimp stay and Hoi yang.

Diner Review №87

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, with delicious food and warm, welcoming service.

Diner Review №88

So tasty, so much flavor, great service! We highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №89

The food wasn’t anything special. It was good, but there was nothing that stood out between the four popular items that we’d gotten. The service was alright — not the most attentive and no introductions or recommendations. I like when waiters ask if we’ve dined with them before and decide whether or not to offer recommendations. The space is beautiful, I’ll admit, but given the cost, it’s way too expensive for Thai food. I left hungry after spending $55/pp. I’m going with Soothr or Sappe if I’m dipping into this range.

Diner Review №90

So so so good!! Nikki was an amazing server and everything we had was delicious. From meuk yang to prawn satay for apps, choo chee for the main dish and butterfly coconut and black sesame ice cream - each was very flavorful and tasty! Would be here regularly if I lived in NYC.

Diner Review №91

Absolutely delicious amazing vibes and Nikki was the best!!!

Diner Review №92

Will become our neighborhood Thai spot! This is a newly opened restaurant in NoMad with beautiful interior, friendly staff, and a great menu. We got the curry tofu, pad see ew with rib eye, and the shrimp with glass noodles and it was excellent. The depth of flavor was great, and the protein serving service was also generous. Would definitely come back.

Update 2:
Came back for dinner and another excellent meal. For two, we shared the crispy branzino, black pepper beef, pad kee mao w tofu and the crab fried rice. Everything was delicious but we especially enjoyed the beef and the fried rice. The fish was over fried in my opinion.

Diner Review №93

Perfect!!!

Diner Review №94

Good food! And excellent service!! Also nice atmosphere. Recommend to make a reservation the restaurant is busy but they are well managed

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Sometimes, you just need a cozy little spot where you can stroll in—no reservation, no fuss—sit down, and instantly feel like you’re in the cutest place ever. That was exactly my vibe on Thursday night! This place is adorable (seriously, the decor is on point), the food was soooo delish, and a fun twist on your usual Thai. Every bite felt fresh and creative, and the service was spot-on. It’s perfect for a laid-back but still super fun dinner date or girls’ night out. Highly recommend if you’re craving good food and great vibes!

Diner Review №97

Good vibe and the food so good. The staff friendly and cocktails so unique.

Diner Review №98

best thai food I've ever had. Pad thai and beef cheek curry is recommended. I've loved every plates

Diner Review №100

PAD THAI is superb yummy and flavorful.Durian cheesecake must try.

Diner Review №101

Food and atmosphere are very nice. Unusual menu but the favor is still authentic.

Diner Review №102

Kraam Thai Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that captivates all the senses. From the moment I step in, I feel welcomed by an elegant yet warm ambiance that blends modern décor with traditional Thai elements. The soft lighting and tasteful design make it an inviting space, perfect for a relaxing meal or a special occasion. Each dish bursts with authentic Thai flavors, crafted with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. The service at Kraam Thai is another highlight. The staff is attentive and friendly, offering recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of my meal is perfect.

Diner Review №103

I had a great experience at Kraam! The food was delicious, and the Crab Volcano Fried Rice is a must-try. The decor is lovely, and the service was excellent—very friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable, making it a great spot for quality Thai food. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №104

Good service. The food was okay nothing especial. The restaurant is very loud as the voice echos, it’s hard to eat and have a conversation with someone. I thought the portion was small and bit expensive.

Diner Review №105

Really disappointed with this place based on the reviews. Massaman curry ($36) was overly sweet and there was barely any meat. Also rice was not included. Waiter didn’t check on us during the meal and we did not have water.

Diner Review №106

The music didn’t quite match the restaurant vibe, but the Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai were delicious! The prices were on the higher side though.

Diner Review №107

We visited this restaurant on Thursday for Dinner and it was amazing. The ingredients were fresh and the food was very tasty. We are from Sydney, and would describe this as 5 star dinning. The presentation of all dishes was very good. Well done to the kitchen staff. ถ้าคนไทยมาเที่ยว New York ขอแนะนำร้าน Kraam เลยคะ อาหาร อร่อย น้องๆบริการดีมากคะ 👍

Diner Review №108

Came in for dessert and drinks! Such a nice place.Gavin the manager is amazing and super friendly.

Diner Review №109

This place is fantastic. Super fresh. Great ingredients. Farm fresh. Well spiced. Unusual flavors. The service is great. Our server named Sea was so helpful and accommodating. This is a really special place.

Diner Review №110

Discover the flavors of Thailand at Kraam, Manhattan's newest Thai gem! Let our taste buds travel to Thailand!

🦀 Poonim
A perfect bite of indulgence, where the soft shell crab is seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. Paired with the crunch of crispy kale and dipped in a sweet, tangy plum sauce, each bite will have you craving more!

🍲 Tom Yum Talay
Dive into this aromatic, hot-sour soup bursting with ocean treasures! Jumbo prawns, baby squid, and mussels dance in a fragrant broth of lemongrass, kaffir lime, and galangal. The spicy kick and creamy finish will warm your soul!

🥩 Ka Prow
Tender sautéed ribeye beef infused with the bold flavors of chili, garlic, and basil. Paired with a soft boiled egg and fluffy jasmine rice, this is comfort food taken to the next level!

🍹 Guava Lychee Bellini
Finish your meal with a refreshing twist! The sweet, tropical blend of guava and lychee, paired with the floral notes of elderflower and a bubbly Crémant, makes for the perfect toast.

Diner Review №111

Great service and cute restaurant but subpar food. We got veggie dumplings and braised beef cheek but found portion too small and overly sweet.

Diner Review №112

I highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Food is delicious. Wine choices are excellent, they all go perfectly with the menu. The ambience is beautiful and the staff is super welcoming and attentive. Great location on 5th avenue as well.

Diner Review №113

I think this restaurant was decent, but not the best Thai food I ve had and kind of hard to be close to it. As for authenticity, I also don’t believe it is the most authentic. The dishes were missing the aromatics and spices I expected, and I felt like overall experience left more to be desired. It tried to be fusion in a way that doesn’t quite work for Thai.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Loved the tuna tartare and tom yum soup!!

Diner Review №116

We got papaya salad, pad thai, green curry, and mango sticky rice, as well as a beef, mango mojito, and lychee limonade. Pad thai is great, would def come back for it, very chewy noodles and just the right amount of sweet/savoury. Green curry doesn’t come with rice and it was an extra 4$ for it, not sure why they don’t just include it because who eats curry just by itself 😭 Portions are quite small tbh for the price especially the papaya salad. Mango sticky rice is lovely but the mango needs to be more riped.

Diner Review №117

This place is slightly upscale but not over the top fancy. The food was really delicious. I had the soft shell crab and Chicken curry tart my friend had the shrimp Pad thai, all were 10 out of 10. They also had vegan options that looked really good.

Diner Review №118

The best thai place!

Diner Review №119

We tried Kraam in Nomad due to the high rating but found this Thai restaurant pretty disappointing. The decor and service were good. We tried the soft shell crab salad with apple which had the most authentic flavor of the dishes but didn't warrant the high price. The vegetables in curry were overcooked and the curry was not flavorful. I found the fish, prepared with a salt topping, unique but others felt it wasn't appetizing. Finally the noodles were pretty average. Overall, we felt Kraam was not particularly authentic and that it lacked the unique Thai flavors that we were hoping for.

Diner Review №120

Such an amazing Thai restaurant the food was delicious!! The mango sticky rice drink is great and so is the dessert. I had the Khao Soi, maybe the best one I’ve had in the city, the portion is HUGE and the chicken falls off the bone. My friend had the branzino and loved it. The chive sticks are soooooo yummy and the corn and papaya salad was also fire. Overall loved this place and it was not crowded like other popular places.

Diner Review №121

The starter tofu and entree beef were fantastic.

Diner Review №122

I had diner that so great. The food good quality and interesting. I ordered chu chee which so tasty.Durian cheese cake must try so so good.

Diner Review №123

I would like to recommend branzino crispy with sour cuurry which my favorite dish that I never had in NYC before. I love the mood and tone inside here also. Cocktail many intersting.Don’t miss here.

Diner Review №124

My fav Thai rest in NYC so far. I love how there are provide with interesting twist menu. The beef cheek Massaman so flavorful and tender. Mango and sticky rice so so superb. Definitely to come back.

Diner Review №125

I had the great Thai food here. I ordered Kee mao Fusilli that so good. Durian cheeses cake also surprised me with the good taste. I highly recommend for someone who finding the thai restaurant in NYC

Diner Review №126

Beautiful restaurant ❤️ Best Thai food I have ever had. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The wine and drinks were also delicious. The decor is perfect for a romantic date night or an intimate night out with friends.

Diner Review №127

I’m so impressed with the all vibe the there. Koi tuna so so good which flavorful. The main dish like Choo Chee is delicious I recommend. The staff are friendly and warm welcome.

Diner Review №128

Restaurant is very pretty inside. Waiters are very attentive and pass by pretty frequently for a check in. My low rating is because of the high prices and low portions. I was also charged for a side of jasmine rice that was super dry but when the waiter asked if I wanted rice he made it seem as if it was included with my $36 entree. The beef curry was delicious I will say and would recommend it. My friend had a duck dish that seemed very small in portion. Typical thai spots have bigger portions of food. Also who charges $8 for Thai iced tea that is mainly ice in a cup. Also see the mango stick rice that was extremely small in size but cost $15.

Diner Review №129

This place makes you feel rich! The decor is amazing and so is the food. Add in great staff, you can't go wrong.

I follow the menu Fusilli Keemao from some IG that makes me wanna try. Finally I had the menu last week. Not disappoint the Fusilli perfect and the dish full of Flavor and plenty of seafood. I love it.

Diner Review №137

Last night, we celebrated my girlfriend birthday at Kraam, and had an amazing start to the evening! The moment we stepped into Kraam, we were transported straight back to Thailand! The architecture of the restaurant, with its intricate details and authentic Thai aesthetics, set the perfect scene for our celebration.

A major highlight of our visit was the exceptional service, especially from a bartender named Brian. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and expert mixology added a personal touch to our evening, making us feel truly special. The drinks he crafted were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, encapsulating the essence of Thai flavors and aesthetics.

Kraam’s commitment to authenticity and quality service is truly commendable. It’s rare to find a place that not only nails the culinary experience but also pays such meticulous attention to the atmosphere and guest interaction. Thanks to Brian and the rest of the staff at Kraam, our evening was nothing short of magical. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking to relive their memories of Thailand or to simply enjoy a fantastic dining experience.

Cheers to Kraam and to many more visits in the future!

If you really like to have a good Thai food in Manhattan , you should go check out Kraam , a newly opened Thai restaurant in Nomad Manhattan! 🌿
The food at Kraam absolutely blew my mind! Each dish was so flavorful, despite the small portions. We started with the Hoii Yang - bursting with spicy chili lime sauce and umeshu infusion, it was an explosion of taste. The Muek Yang, a baby squid with spicy chili garlic lime sauce paired with Asian pear, is an absolute must-try! For the entrée, we had the Neu Yang - the beef was incredibly tender and delicious. 🦑🍈🥩

This spot has quickly become one of my favorite Thai places in Manhattan. They also have an impressive selection of cocktails and wine. 🍹🍷

The ambiance at Kraam is cozy and elegant, making it a perfect spot for a date or a casual dinner. Plus, the manager and staff are super friendly, adding to the overall wonderful experience.

Diner Review №149

Food is exceptional good.

Diner Review №150

Good flavor, but the seasoning was a bit off: the softshell crab salad was too sweet, the fish curry too salty. The durian cheese cake also tasted fine, but had a strange texture and the base was also too salty.

Diner Review №151

Food presentation is very nice, taste is ok but not super impressed. Service is good and nice atmosphere.

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Overall, excellent dining experience. The bright yet sleek atmosphere is inviting and nods to the south Asian culture in an understated fashion. The Thai wait staff is attentive, respectful, and adept at describing the various dishes, which are both comfortingly classic and uniquely inventive. My brother and I enjoyed balanced cocktails, exceptionally fresh curry and pad see ew, and a perfectly spiced squid app. The Thai gentleman was well-versed in the nationality of all staff members, and gave my brother and I a warm handshake to conclude the meal. The clientele included businesspeople, couples, and families including a 5 year old Asian girl who stared at me for the duration of my dining experience.

Had a great experience at KRAAM! It recently opened and it’s clear how much effort was put into making this spot shine. Really appreciated how aesthetically pleasing the dishes were, and tasty as well! My favorite dish was the noodle dish Chicken khao soi, which is a Northern thai curry with confit chicken thigh, egg noodle, crispy noodle, shallot and vegetable relish! The service was great and I only regret not trying to pad Thai!

Great food and great service! I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu. Highly recommend Muek Yang and beef cheek massaman curry. 4 stars for atmosphere because it did get a little too loud in the back.

Love this new place! The service wasn’t the smoothest (yet) but everyone was still very nice and accommodating. We ordered the chicken pad thai and crab volcanic fried rice. Both were excellent and very filling. Some of the best pad thai I’ve had in the city. I also got the mango sticky rice cocktail which was delicious and fruity. It was a little on the pricey side but I would definitely recommend and come back.

Kraam, a newcomer to NoMad's culinary landscape, presents an impressive journey through Thai flavors. The moment you enter, the cozy ambiance whisks you away to Thailand's essence. We started with a zesty papaya salad, enhanced by sweet roasted corn, striking a perfect harmony of flavors. The okra dish was an unexpected highlight, seasoned with authentic spices that elevated this often-underappreciated vegetable to new heights.
Our main courses included softshell crab and a perfectly prepared branzino in curry sauce. The interplay of textures and tastes, coupled with an aromatic, flavorful sauce, created a truly memorable dining experience. Kraam's dedication to excellence is evident not only in their food but also in their creative cocktails and attentive service.
This establishment offers more than just a meal; it's a culinary adventure that will have you planning your next visit before you've even finished your current one. A well-deserved five stars!

Such great food! Thrilled this new gem has opened in the neighborhood. Delectable, fantastically flavorful, so much better than 95% of NY Thai restaurants. A charming space with personable service. We live in the neighborhood and have been multiple times, have yet to order a dish that wasn't wonderful. Great cocktails and wine list as well. Can't go wrong, but black pepper beef, pea shoot salad, soft shell crab with crispy kale are some faves.

Diner Review №168

Cute ambiance, great cocktail menu; service was so kind with great suggestions. The prawn appetizer is heavenly. The Thai twist on a Michelada cocktail was also delicious. Great place to share a meal with friends.

Diner Review №169

Have gone twice now and both times the food was fantastic. High quality, fresh ingredients that have great flavor.

I’ve had 10 or so things off the menu (we do everything family style) and the worst thing I’ve had so far (the peppercorn steak) was still fine, just not as outstanding as the rest of the things we’ve ordered.

Also, big props for the durian cheesecake. It’s expensive (but so is durian) and a bold play, but they nailed it and the durian flavor was nicely woven throughout the whole dish, not just a piece of durian on top.

Diner Review №170

Thai food, elevated. The flavors and presentation were all thoughtful. A must return location as there were other dishes I can’t wait to try. The crispy fish choo chee and the ice cream desserts were tasty.

Found Kraam in Midtown and was blown away! From the decor to each beautifully presented dish, everything was a treat. We started with five appetizers, and the Koi Tuna salad was a perfect blend of tangy and spicy. The Chicken Curry Tart was a delightful mix of savory and sweet, while the Lump Crab was packed with generous amounts of crab meat.

For the main course, the Black Pepper Ribeye was incredibly tender, and the Tom Yum soup was loaded with seafood, including baby squid.

The highlight was the Durian Cheesecake—rich, silky, with a hint of coconut milk. The Mango Sticky Rice drink was like a mini dessert, and the bartender was super friendly. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №181

Kraam new Thai restaurant in NYC, beautiful restaurant on 5 Ave, NoMad New York. The food was great and wonderful service. The place was clean feel comfortable with the staff and people working there. Check it out with nice and lovely tested ice cream, We enjoyed 😊

Diner Review №182

Highly recommend for authentic Thai! Our perfect meal started with the sweet & spicy shishito peppers, Hoi Yang seared scallops, an order of the black pepper ribeye, and chicken pad Thai that is not to be missed. We finished off with the sweet mango & coconut sticky rice + butterfly fly pea and jackfruit which were divine. This place has it all: elegant and vibrant ambiance, superb service, authentic & beautifully presented dishes with quality ingredients & flavors that awakened our tastebuds. Cannot wait to come back!

Diner Review №183

Incredible new Thai restaurant! I’ve been to lots of Thai restaurants all over the city and it’s by far the best. Everything was amazing, but my favorites were the Tuna Tartar, Grilled Corn and Papaya Salad, and Chicken Curry Tart. Cocktails were also delicious with such great flavor combinations.

Diner Review №184

Incredible food, delightful staff, and such a soothing environment to enjoy it all in! I will be back and bringing all my friends so we can go through the entire menu!

This place is one of the best Thai places I’ve been to and I’ve been to many! The food was delicious and the service first rate. We had the Best Thai Sugar Snap Pea salad and Tuna tartare (Koi) the chicken aka Prow and the Black Pepper Ribeye. Everything was amazing. Well done Kraam! We are from the UK and have eaten all over the world - this was right up there with the best.

It's an elegant contemporary Tai restaurant. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is sophisticated. I had an okra dish as an appetizer and pad Thai as a main. Highly recommended!

The menu is different than other thai restaurants I’ve been to. It was inventive, beautifully presented, light and tasty food. The decor is elegant, staff is friendly and attentive. Will go back!

Diner Review №194

Checked out this new Thai restaurant yesterday and were so glad we did. I loved every dish - the flavor was bold and sophisticated (some can pack a surprising amount of heat). Service was impeccable and staff super friendly. I'll certainly be back soon.

Diner Review №195

We went to this new Thai place on 5th Ave. with huge white glass door opening to the street and dark ocean blue walls, it has a deep inviting and elegant vibe. We ordered tuna tartare, and okra as starters, kitchen is bold and our dishes surprised us with burst of huge flavors. Our branzino fish is lightly fried and came creamy and thick curry which is hearty and satisfying. We also ordered a beef cheek dish that is perfectly soft and melting. Service is attentive for a new place just opened. Overall quite impressed !

Diner Review №196

The food was immaculate and the bartender, Tom was on it and super nice. Will totally go back.

Diner Review №197

The attention to details makes this place so beautiful. Food is out of this world, especially the papaya salad and green curry vegetables. Service is top notch, and Tom the bartender is an exceptional host. Loved everything about it!

Diner Review №198

Absolutely the best Thai food I’ve had in years! Everything was immaculate, the papaya salad is so good and the veggie curry is so delicious. 10/10. And the service is amazing! The bartender, Tom, makes the best drinks and was so awesome. A must when coming to NYC!

Diner Review №199

Very delicious and a more unique menu than the usual Thai we enjoy.
