This UES Thai Restaurant Is One Of NYC's Best, New List Says

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — An Upper East Side restaurant has been named one of the most "thrilling" places to get Thai food in all of New York City, according to a newly updated list.

Eater's list of 28 exciting Thai eateries across the five boroughs was published Tuesday, building on the food outlet's 2017 list on the same theme.

Among the new additions to the list this year: Maison Bangkok, a neighborhood restaurant on East 78th Street just west of First Avenue.

Eater critic Robert Sietsema said that Maison Bangkok, which specializes in food from Thailand's capital city, includes a number of "crowd pleasers" including a variety of soups and salads with green papaya and ground meat.

Other highlights include basil stir-fries and curries, small savory meals like curry puffs, "roti canai" flatbreads and savory "shrimp blanket" pastries, Sietsema wrote.

Among the other restaurants that cracked the list is an East Harlem spot close to the Upper East Side: Malii Thai Kitchen, on Second Avenue near East 104th Street.

Standouts at Malii include a Massamun curry with flaky roti, according to Eater.
