@lalyn.nyc is a new restaurant from the team behind
@maliigramercy and
@wib.nyc, two of my top favorite thai restaurants in NYC. Itโs near Penn Station with a more upscale vibeโจ
Our server Blue was the sweetest and even gave us NYC and Bangkok illustrated postcards as souvenirs๐ฅน
Iโm already eyeing their 2-course lunch special ($19-$27) and HH deals with drinks starting at $7 since itโs so close to my office ๐

Seriously the best thai steak fried rice Iโve had. The wagyu was perfectly medium rare and juicy. Iโm a fan of anything basil and I loved how fragrant it was with the garlic fried rice.

The curry is very spicy and the spice level is not adjustableโผ๏ธThe sweetness from the pineapple and grapes helped ease the heat, and the curry was so creamy and satisfying when paired with rice.

The presentation was gorgeous with the lacy egg netting but it looked better than it tasted. I wished there was some seafood in the noodles instead of just tofu and egg.

The croquette was huge irl, stuffed with lump crab meat and shrimp meat. The creamy shrimp roe mayo was lowkey addicting๐คค

The glutinous rice wrapper was too chewy for my liking, and the shallot-peanut filling didnโt stand out to me. The cho muang at their sister restaurants is actually better imo.

The plating was giving sailor moon vibe๐ SO PRETTY and the cake was very rich in purple yam flavor. Not too sweet๐

Their drinks were unique with a tropical twist like mango foam, pandan, and coconut water.
