Lantern Lit Thai Street Food With Claypot Rice
Order khao soi, pad see ew, and a round of cocktails on Second Avenue, where the kitchen sends plates out fast.
🥢 Lantern Thai Plates
Up Thai strings lanterns across a cozy Upper East Side dining room on Second Avenue, and the menu pairs regional specialties with familiar classics. Diners keep pointing to khao soi, basil fried rice, and bouncy pad see ew noodles, with Penang curry, kee mao, and claypot rice close behind.
Start with crispy spring rolls, split a claypot rice, and save room for the sweet mango mousse cake. Cocktails round out the table, which makes the room a steady pick for date night or a small group dinner. The kitchen moves at a quick pace, and plates tend to arrive shortly after the order goes in.
On weekdays the doors open at half past eleven AM, and lunch specials are available for anyone eating midday. Monday through Thursday service runs until 10 PM and Friday runs until 11 PM, while Saturday runs from noon to 11 PM and Sunday from noon to 10 PM.
