Tong – Thai
Tong captures the electric energy of a Thai night market, where the air hums with the scent of smoky skewers and the bright, pungent aroma of fresh galangal. Small plates deliver a masterclass in balance, layering the searing heat of bird’s eye chilies with the silky sweetness of coconut and the crunch of toasted rice. The industrial-cool space serves as a vibrant backdrop for an evening of bold exploration, where every bite tells a story of tradition reimagined through a modern lens.

What diners are saying
Diners are blown away by the bold, authentic Thai flavors at this Brooklyn spot, with one reviewer from Thailand confirming its genuine taste. Guests rave about standout dishes like the khao soi, hoy jor, and the unique Yum Mangosteen, while the "midnight market noodles" are hailed by one fan as the best they've ever had. The atmosphere is celebrated for being beautiful, cozy, and lively, perfectly complemented by kind, attentive service. While most love the intensity, a few note the spice levels can be quite high. Drinks like "The Bucket" also earn high praise.
