What People Are Saying About Vong Thai Kitchen

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 on the menu. VTK Rocket Rolls are a great starter too, wrapped in lettuce leaves and begging to be dipped in tangy garlic sauce. Signature entrees include shrimp and crab pad thai, panang curry chicken and miso-glazed salmon.

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.

The ambiance is the best thing about the restaurant. The food is decent, but not great and it's not cheap either. It is a lovely restaurant though. And I remember service being about average as well.

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.
