KRAAM

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.

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.

Beautiful decor to delicious foods!! It's not typical Thai food but it's gourmet food made with quality! Every dish was delicately presented and yet with excellent taste. Great service and atmosphere!! Can't wait to go back again!

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!

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!

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.

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. we orderded⤵️ -Muek Yang -Hoii Yang -Kang som -Neu Yang -Pad eggplant -Lump crab -mango sticky rice -ice cream/sorbet -Drinks : White samui and purple Phuket If you’re in the area, you HAVE to check this place out!

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!

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 to enjoy with friends or family.

Definitely in my curry era. It doesn't even matter what type of curry right now, but Thai curry is some of the best. And when there is a lunch special that features Thai curry I have to jump on it. Kraam Thai Kitchen is perfect for the area. The interior itself is bright. Since it was a nice day we say closer to the opened front of the the restaurant. I mentioned a lunch special before and it was a good one. It came with an appetizer and a main. I got the kale salad as my starter and the peanut dressing was exactly what I love about Thai cuisine. So many strong and delicious flavors in the dressing alone. My mane was the crispy confit khao soi curry. It was so yummy and the portion was HUGE.

Cute, clean and modern Thai restaurant on 5th ave. We were able to walk in for dinner without a wait. I got the crab egg volcano fried rice which was just as eggy as it sounds. The rice was covered on top with a layer of soft egg and chunks of crab. We shared a mango sticky rice for dessert & thought the mango was perfectly ripe for the dish. Overall great experience for dinner, but on the pricier side of Thai restaurants.

Kraam Thai Kitchen was an enjoyable meal. From the moment you enter, you are welcomed by a cordial host and an attentive wait staff. The restaurant is not large, but it is decorated in a way that is calming and aesthetically pleasing. My Thai Iced Tea was milky, sweet, had the perfect mixture of tea, and recommended. I have to highly commend Kraam's restroom appearance. It was pristine, had a Thai themed decor, and it says A LOT about their attention to detail throughout the rest of the business. I selected the Fall Prix-Fixe Menu and it was a good choice. I started with the Hoi Yang (seared hokkaido scallop, crispy shallot, mint, chili jam, cherry tomato infused umeshu, and spicy chili lime sauce). This dish was delicious and surprisingly...and pleasantly...SPICY. The presentation was exceptional and a recommended starter. My entree was the Soft Shell Crab Phong Karee (crispy soft shell crabs on top of stir-fried egg, curry powder, scallions, onion, celery, and milk). The dish was flavorful and the white rice mixed well with the seasoning. The Sweet Mango & Coconut Sticky Rice dessert was AMAZING! My goodness.... every spoonful of rice was sweet, evenly infused with the delicious coconut, and every piece of mango accompanied the rice like a happy piggyback rider. The other item we ordered was the Chicken Curry Tart starter (savory curried potato, minced chicken, sweet radish, caramelized onion, and vegetable relish). Once again, this dish had an appealing presentation and thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Kraam and am certain that you'll enjoy a charming and flavorsome meal.

We all ordered the pad Thai and it was pretty good. The crispy tofu was delicious but I thought the noodles were kind of oily. The service was excellent! I will return and try a spicier dish next time. Also, sitting near the front would probably be a wonderful dining experience due to the natural light.

First of all this is so aesthetically upscale. Great place for a date. super fancier than anticipated. Pad thai was delicious and filled me up. Curry was on the saltier side (not sweet) but very enjoyable and filling. Papaya salad was delicious, corn was super sweet. Drip coffee was fun you can pour yourself, it was good too. I would skip the mango sticky rice, wasn't great. Overall food was pretty tasty, but lost points for dessert. Service was so great and kind. Fast too. The bench seats we were sat at had a rattan bench back which stabbed me a couple times-- sorta uncomfy. I'd rate 4.5 but will point down for those two minor things. Plus There are just too many great places in nyc to compare to

Had such a delicious meal at Kraam, my friend and I came on a Tuesday at 7 pm so it wasn't crowded and we were seated and attended to right away. The overall decor and vibe was elegant but not stuffy which I liked. I started out with the Ginger Yuzu Mojito which was good but not very strong flavor or alcohol wise. My friend got a beer. I got the pad see eew with chicken which was delicious. The noodles were so tender and yummy and the chicken was well dispersed and flavored nicely. My friend got the green curry and said it was also good! I do with the pad see eew was slightly more flavorful so I asked for soy sauce which came in a very tiny dish. Overall a great meal although I wish the cocktail was a bit stronger and the soy sauce more plentiful - although that could just be my own preference lol.

First time having food from this establishment and oh boy, the food is Delicious!!!!! I ordered the Pad See Eew with chicken. I would definitely order again!!!!

I have never reviewed any restaurant before, so this is my first review - but my husband and I had dinner on Friday night and it was so good I had to tell others! We were seated at a cozy table in the back corner, which was an amazing place to feel the great energy of the location and see the beauty of the space. We ordered Khao Soi, black pepper ribeye, crispy rice pork sausage, and Koi tuna - everything was DELICIOUS, with great flavors and delightful presentation. The food paired perfectly with Singha beer! Definitely strongly recommend and will come back very soon!!!

INCREDIBLE new Thai spot near Midtown! The interior decor is elegant and elevated. The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, including the pad thai, green curry, and pad eggplant. The green curry was unique and had a great variety of fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. Only recommendation is we would have liked to see more green curry with this and it should come with a side of rice. The service was quick. Despite only being open for ~2 months, our experience was excellent and I would definitely come back.

Kraam is a new Thai restaurant on Fifth Avenue, right next door to Cafe Carmellini. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service is excellent. The food is extremely flavorful as well with a small but solid wine list.

Came here on a Sat for lunch and was able to grab a table for 2 walking in. The venue is medium sized with a good amount of tables for groups as well as tables of 2. For food I would recommend the ribeye garlic fried rice! It's big enough to share among 2 people and it's so good. The meat is cooked perfectly tender.

Came here on a Friday night at 8:30pm. The restaurant wasn't very busy but could be given that it has only been open a month. The food was excellent. We ordered the koi tuna and scallop appetizer. The tuna portion was filling, and scallop was light given that they slice a scallop into multiple pieces. For mains, we ordered the chicken paid thai and seafood pad cha. The noodle dish portion was generous. The pad cha had the perfect blend of spice and most succulent ship. The only negative is the server forgetting to put in one of our mains and being charged $5 for a scoop of white rice.

I loved the pad kee mao with tofu - spicy and herbaceous, with bouncy noodles and some crispy veg to go along with it. Prices were also reasonable at $21 for a right-sized portion.

They recently opened about 2 weeks ago or so. The interior here is so pretty! The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. No cake cutting fee. Everything we ordered and tried was delicious. Must gets are: any of the fish, mango sticky rice, the beef cheek curry, the tuna tartare, & one of each ice cream. The cocktails here are standard pricing at $17 a pop. This place is big enough for group dinners. My friends and I already agreed that we'd be back in the near future to try other items on the menu. It's a bit of a hidden gem since it's so new but I anticipate this place to get very popular.

Liked this place so much that I'm rating it both in Google and Yelp. 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.

This was a lovely place. It was rather new when I went there a week of opening. It was near the Sample 260 location within a block radius, one next to it and another cross the street and it was convenient walking distance. I ate their pad Thai for dinner and it did not disappoint. Their ambience clean and the servers were so kind and accommodating. Service left a very positive impression on me.

Delicious thai food with several unusual combinations. Elegant setting with a small bar. Would highly recommend. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable.

Food and drinks were delicious! Only thing that lacked was the service. It took foreverrrrrr to order.

The food was great and the ambiance was nice. Our food was reminiscent of my trip to Thailand, which made it even more enjoyable.

Overpriced and trendy. The atmosphere was just OK. I did not find the restaurant to be accommodating to my needs. Apparently they make everything in advance. I don't understand why coconut curries now have to have dairy in them. I couldn't eat most of the things on the menu. Someone on staff helped me choose but I still got sick. And they won't prepare anything to order. At these prices, they should. I found my dish to be overly spiced as well. No reason to make things so hot that you can't taste the food.

Incredible new Thai restaurant! The food was insanely tasty and fresh. It was a great take on classic Thai dishes and some with a new twist. The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable on menu items that were suitable for a person in our group with gluten allergies. Really charming ambiance great for grabbing dinner with friends but also family friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

Not a review scribe... Yet, too marvelous not to truly applaud! Ate w/very discerning out-of-town savvy traveling foodie guest. We were awed by perfect cuisine, serene ambiance, wonderful service. Will be ongoing "must go" spot for me.

Some of the best Thai, reasonably priced food around. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent Thai fare. Well prepared and flavored dishes. Wide rice noodle in drunken noodles were exeptionally thin and delicate. I will go back.

The ingredients of the food at this restaurant needs a proper recognition. Excellent quality and presentation. Drinks were carefully crafted as well. Want to go back to this restaurant and try all of their dishes!!

This new Thai place is a gem. It's right next to 260 Sample Sale so I'll be frequenting the place. . The food was delicious . I had the shrimp with glass noodles . I like that the food was fresh and flavorful.. The staff is amazing , very friendly and helpful with the menu. They have a pretty bar as well.

Wonderful food, the best Thai in our neighborhood. Great staff too. We are very happy about their opening.

This an amazing new addition to the NoMad neighborhood in the old L&W Oyster space. Very authentic, delicious Thai food - it's clear that a lot of care is taken in the kitchen. Having traveled extensively in Thailand, I have always been disappointed with Thai food in Manhattan until eating at Kraam this week - I will now make it my go-to Thai! The decor is very tasteful, with attention to detail evident. It's more of a sit-down place than take-out. The bar area is very airy and pleasant, as well. The service was very attentive - ever so slightly hovering, maybe - but the restaurant was empty due to its newness, and all staff were clearly eager to make sure that all was to our liking. Go now, before it gets too crowded, because it will!

Gorgeous interior, great service, and most importantly some of the best Thai food in New York. The vegetarian green curry, mango sticky rice cocktail, tuna tartare, crispy tofu dish and the tiger prawns were cooked to perfection. I cannot wait to come back, bring loads of friends and try the whole menu. My neighbor at the bar was eating a fish dish that was gorgeously plated and thankfully my meal was so delicious I couldn't be too jealous.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommended! My favorite was the pad see ew! The restaurant itself has amazing design and very cozy.

Delicious. Had prawns with glass noodles and khai soi chicken with noodles. Nice spice level with extra chiles &sauce to make hotter On the pricey side for Thai food
