What People Are Saying About Vong's Thai Kitchen

Citysearch
The Scene – The clean, open space evokes subtle Asian accents, set off by a striking, fiery-red wall, gauzy gold lamé drapery and, in the small bar, a cluster of booths. Curtains hang lazily over the floor-to-ceiling windows, filtering out the city and creating a serene urban oasis. Trip-hop and cool acid jazz music provide a hypnotic soundtrack. – – The Food – VTK attracts loyal fans for Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's graceful French-Thai fare. Signature favorites like chicken and coconut-milk soup and the popular Black Plate appetizer platter remain constant…

very unique
by FamousAnus at Citysearch
I have eaten here twice. The food both times was outstanding and was served uniquely! The Passionfruit Souffle [sp?] and the banana dessert is to die for. Some apetizers and desserts need slight assembly! Which is fun! I don't quite know how to explain it other than they had great plating. Their thai food was much different than any other thai restaurant I've been too. It had a different fresher flavor. It was a cozy nicely decorated environment.
- Pros: food, plating, environment, service
- Cons: parking

Worst Hostress
by tliny at Citysearch
I have always been a food lover, enjoy a great meal either with friends or by myself. From New York and had a decent exprience at Vong midtown, I decided to give this one a try to while on a business trip.
What a mistake! I have never felt so humiliated by a hostess. Was told that the dining area doesn't have any table for one and suggested to sit in the bar area as it offers the same menu.
I waited for 5 minutes before she pretentiously noticed my presence and rudely implied to help myself. Not until I layed my backpack on the booth chair, she commented that the table was reserved.
Although I never got the chance to criticize the food, was glad that I walked out of it. I went to next door called Vermilion, an Indian Latin restaurant. What a day and night experience, one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to.

If you love CABBAGE...
by seelephile at Citysearch
I've been here several times and enjoyed myself. But last week I had the chef's special and honestly, $20 for a small bit of fish and a big plateful of cabbage is not what I'm looking for when I go out. Not that it was bad tasting, I just couldn't believe they'd serve that dish in a restaurant. That being said, the curries are good, and the appetizers & deserts are very good, although far more American than Thai. The drinks are also very good, especially if you have a sweet tooth. I would definetely recommend this restaurant but stick to items on the regular menu as the chef lacks inspiration when he's left to his own devices.
- Pros: Drinks, appetisers, ambience
- Cons: Strange specials
