Thai-American all-day cooking on the corner of Mott and Kenmare — the tom yum fried rice, the Thai disco fries, the pancakes
Ann Redding and Matt Danzer followed Uncle Boons with Thai Diner, on the corner of Mott and Kenmare, and the concept is exactly what the name promises: a diner, in the American sense, cooking Thai food from open to close. Breakfast is roti with curry or pandan pancakes. Later it is tom yum fried rice, khao soi, and disco fries built on Thai gravy and cheese curds. The room is bright, tiled, and full of plants, and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Weekend waits are genuinely long and there is no reservation system, which the neighborhood has collectively accepted. Go on a weekday morning.
