SaiTong Thai

We stumbled upon this Thai restaurant by chance and it was a fantastic surprise! Since I’m not very familiar with Thai cuisine, we basically ordered blindly, but everything turned out to be absolutely delicious. Even the drinks were refreshing and perfectly made. The atmosphere was very pleasant and made us feel right at home. If you are looking for a great meal even if you don't know the menu well, this is the place to go.

Food Every dish we tried at SaiTong Thai was absolutely delicious, with vibrant flavours and great balance. The highlight, without a doubt, was the dessert, rich, well prepared and the perfect way to finish the meal. It’s clear that the kitchen puts real care into every plate. Service The staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Ambience If there’s one point that could be improved, it’s the décor. The space isn’t the most polished or visually appealing, especially compared to other restaurants in New York. Still, the quality of the food and the kindness of the team more than make up for it. Conclusion SaiTong Thai delivers excellent food and lovely service, even if the

A full Thai feast at SaiTong Thai and every dish delivered. The mango salad with grilled tiger shrimp was bright and refreshing — sweet, smoky, and beautifully balanced. The grilled branzino was delicately crisp with fragrant herbs, while the shrimp pad Thai had that essential wok-kissed depth. The crab meat fried rice was decadent without being heavy. The crispy duck with spicy tamarind sauce? Absolute standout, sweet, tangy heat with perfectly rendered skin. And the pork belly… indulgent, crisp, and unapologetically rich. Elevated Thai in the heart of Midtown — stylish, flavorful, and worth the visit.

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.
