Ghang Thai Kitchen
“Pros-
-It never seems overly crowded, so it's a great alternative to the loud, and over-packed Joya.”
“He raved about that soup and said it was pretty much as good as what he had in Thailand so if you like that coconut milk, lemongrass, and chilli broth, go here!”
“The drunken noodles with tofu and extra veggies are at the top of my list, followed closely by the super delicious pumpkin curry.”

My experience here was quick, cheap and delicious. What more could you want in a Thai place?
The restaurant was pretty empty when I visited, considering it was a Friday night. There were only a few other tables filled. My friend and I each got their special, which gets you an appetizer (from a select menu, from which I couldn't get fresh spring rolls. Le sigh.) an entree and a glass of wine for $12. Pretty hard to beat in NYC.
The food is really delicious – I got the steamed dumplings, chicken pad thai and a glass of Pinot Grigio and it was all at the table within 7-ish minutes. My friend's food took a little longer, which we think was due to the frying of her spring rolls. The portions are definitely big enough to warrant leftovers, but I had a few drinks in me and proceeded to clear my plate.
I'll definitely be back if I'm in the Brooklyn area and craving Thai. The decor here makes you feel a little fancy but the prices leave your wallet and belly full. Can't beat that.
Main reason for a low rating is the service experienced here..
Food: food was decent, as a table we split some appetizers (fried tofu, summer rolls); for my meal I had pumpkin curry with beef-medium spicy, I enjoyed it.. Perfect amount of spice for me; my boyfriend likes things VERY spicy so he got jungle curry made extra spicy and it was not much spicier than my meal. For drinks I recommend the coconut mojito (made with real coconut milk and not too sweet), no light beers available
Service: we were a large party but there was only one other table seated while we were there.. Waters were not filled, my friend had a fly in her sangria and had to ask for a new glass twice; we felt as if we had to flag someone down everytime we wanted something, no one was checking in on us
Ambience: cute garden in the back for smaller parties, clean inside; full bar
Tons of great Thai in the area (Joya is a personal fave if you have cash), but Ghang stands out. This place is great and inexpensive. Everything from the curries, stir fries, noodles, soups… everything is fresh, tasty and plentiful. On my last visit my friends soup tasted like straight salt water and the waitress was nowhere to be found (despite an empty restaurant) BUT Ghang is still a solid choice for Thai in Cobble Hill.
These freaking people are great and if you disagree you're someone I assume I'd rather not associate with. Solid go-to's include pad Thai shrimp (pro tip: ask them to remove the tails for you if you're lazy like me) and the crispy angel wings (recipient of my vote for most adorable chicken wing name 2 years running). Never really dabbled in their curry or wok but the other reviewers seem to enjoy them so you probably will too. What really sells this place are its staff who have always been kind, courteous, and gracious, even when I'm desperately calling them after class just 30 min before closing. Great restaurant.
Good food, HOWEVER, here are my criticisms: I ordered a tom yum soup, which was not indicated spicy on the menu & it was. So they brought the soup, boiling hot (which is great, but then you know it's going to take some time to eat it) & then next thing you know, after a few spoonfuls, they brought the entree! I found that annoying. So I left the soup & ate the masaman coconut curry with chicken, which was the ONLY main dish on the menu that didn't have a red paper next to it indicating it was spicy, yet it was. It was very good, however, the sauce did not permeate the chicken & the carrots were a bit undercooked. All in all a tasty meal, but sorry I can only give them 3 stars.
I had a chance to eat here recently. I like the ambiance and wood grain made this Restaurant look unique. Although it's a small space it was well laid out and comfortable. The food was good. We had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and drunken noodles with chicken. While we enjoyed our meals service was incredibly slow. We were one of only two couples in the place and yet it took forever to get our drinks. The drinks when they came were very good. I had the coconut mojito and I truly enjoyed it. Better service would have made this a 4 star experience. Truly unfortunate.
You know sometimes you just get in the mood for something different. Not the kind of different that leads to trying something new all together but the type of different that is familiar but when prepared differently makes you feel as if your having an all together new experience. I know that was a lot but I hope you get my point. I found that with Ghang Thai Kitchen.
I've enjoyed Thai food may times before but I was most impressed with my meal. The service was prompt and attentive. The honey ginger Martini will make you run in circles it's so smooth. I image most of their drinks are the bomb.
Now, as for the food, I had the Brooklyn Basil for my entree and my partner had one of their signature fried rice dishes. Truly, we both barely looked at each other during the meal because the flavor and spice left us speechless!! We also had their Thai dumplings. The food and appetizers we had should receive an A++ . I really believe both our meals were rather exceptional. My partner usually likes spicy and I do not but that night, I decided to go spicy and it made my dining experience phenomenal. I must try Ghang Thai Kitchen again real soon!!
Well, I came in with my boyfriend on the night of July 4th after the fireworks, so maybe that's where I made my mistake.
The wait staff was slow, understaffed, and not attentive. They forgot our order, clearly since we waited about an hour. I stopped one waitress to tell her but she was too frazzled to care. She just brushed me off and said it was coming but didn't check with the kitchen. This pissed me off.
After 10 more minutes, I asked another waiter who finally checked with the kitchen. They clearly forgot our order since everyone who sat after and around us already got served.
They never admitted to their error. And they never gave me any discount.
Food was fine if it were on time.
Not coming back due to terrible customer service.
