Khao Soi and Thai Tea French Toast From the Uncle Boons Team

Thai Diner comes from the married chef owners behind Uncle Boons, where Thai flavors meet classic American diner comfort food. For two, split something sweet and something savory: the Thai tea elephant ear French toast at $17, with Thai tea butter and salty condensed milk, and khao soi at $26, a northern style golden curry with egg noodles and chicken leg.

Weekend doors open at 10 AM, and breakfast runs until 4 PM. Peak brunch hours can mean a long wait, and reservations are limited, with no same-day table guaranteed. Take the J or Z to Bowery, about three minutes on foot, or the 6 to Spring St, about four.
