• Return to Little Thai Kitchen

  231 East 53rd Street New York, NY 10022

  It’s been over four years since i’ve ordered from Little Thai Kitchen, and i wanted to try it out again, as i’ve been having pad thai cravings of late, and i’m always trying to look for cheap but good pad thai. This time it was lunchtime, and i was checking out Seamless, when i found out LTK was having lunch specials…SO WHY NOT?!?!!?

  FOOOOOD!

  
  

  Set Lunch Special w/ Noodle Entrée (Papaya Salad and Shrimp Pad Thai): Food arrived fast, and at the proper temperatures. $11.00 (note, special does not include spring rolls or Thai Iced Tea.)

  Thai Iced Tea: i liked it. $3.00

  Spring Rolls (2 Pcs.): $3.00

  
  

  as you can see, the spring roll had way too much ‘wrap’ and not really that much filling….and for three bucks, this was way below par….don’t order these. =P

  
  

  the papaya salad that came with the lunch special looked very poor…but it was good. I’ll most likely get this again, cause it was nice and crunchy, proper flavor…but not enough peanuts. The thing about Papaya salad is, i always felt that its a symphony of many ingredients coming together to create a masterpiece…if any ingredient is skimped or poor, the masterpiece breaks down and you’re left with a bootleg…which in this case, you got a HD camcorder version of X-men first class. =P

  

  
  

  Shrimp Pad Thai…was good, and i would definitely recommend it. Shrimp was not over cooked and the tails were taken off. I squirted lemon all over it and it enhanced the flavor to another level. I’d definitely say that Little Thai Kitchen is probably still probably best bang for buck in Midtown for Pad Thai.

  

  Summation: definitely going to try other joints for pad thai, but this place is pretty reliable. I look forward to trying other items on the menu, but will definitely stay away from the spring and summer rolls from this joint. CHEERS!
