"My close friend and I went here on a Monday night to catch up on life. The restaurant was surprisingly busy. We ordered 2 entrees: Khao Soi + Pad Thai with Beef, and ended with Taro Balls with coconut milk (everything to share). They did a great job with the crispy topping and spice of khao soi. But I think the star of the show was the taro ball dessert, as it was warm and perfect for a cold day like today. I just wish they had put less sauce on the pad thai so it wouldn’t be as salty. Atmosphere wise, it was nice for a friendly conversation. We sat near the kitchen/bathroom and I had a sensitive nose, so I was sometimes bothered by the smell of the cleaning products… At least we avoided the cold near the entrance. I recommend sitting towards the middle area for an optimal dining experience. Service was fast and efficient. The waiter constantly refilled our glass of water; the food came out at reasonable time and was always warm. Overall, I would come back to Koon Taste of Siam with a friend, pick the middle seats and enjoyed taro balls w coconut. Our heart would all be happy and smiling!"

"Great restaurant with good common Thai dishes. Pad Thai has good flavors, roasted duck is a great protein choice. Chicken satay was decent; personally, I would like to tone down the turmeric. Papaya salad was nice and spicy, hitting a the right flavors. Although, not sure why it would come with lettuce, which not a traditional papaya salad ingredient. Tom yum hot pot was..... warm, not hot. Despite that, I enjoyed the warm, sweet and sour soup with the large shrimps and side of rice. The restaurant is small but very well decorated. The space is very welcoming. Staffs are friendly and polite. Koon taste of Siam is a nice restaurant for a quick meal. I would recommend trying the noodle and rice dishes."

"Koon Taste of Siam in Chelsea is an absolute gem for anyone craving truly authentic Thai food. From the moment you step inside, the warm hospitality makes you feel like family. Their bold and balanced flavors is unmistakably homemade which you can taste everything is cooked with care and tradition. Dishes are beautifully seasoned with just the right mix of heat, sweetness, and spice. Portions are generous, ingredients are high quality, and prices are perfectly fair for the quality you’re getting. They also have a great choice of cocktails to complement the meal as well. Koon Taste of Siam is definitely recommended for Thai food lovers and it’s easily one of the best spots in NYC for authentic Thai cuisine. —"

"Most delicious Thai we have ever had. We were looking for a decent Thai place for dinner on cold November night before our jazz show, this was perfect. Hot pot with giant prawns hit the spot and then the love letter to Bangkok medley we shared. Perfect and delicious. Loved this spot!!"

"Located right in the heart of Chelsea, Koon Taste of Siam brings a true taste of Thailand to New York City. This family-owned restaurant focuses on authentic Thai cooking, using traditional recipes passed down through generations and the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. Every dish bursts with flavor and is beautifully presented, blending classic Thai techniques with a modern NYC touch. We tried the Yum Salmon, Chicken Satay, Crab Meat Fried Rice, Pineapple Roasted Duck Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice and everything was absolutely delicious. The mango sticky rice, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for sharing a family-style meal or enjoying a cozy dinner with friends. A must-visit spot in Chelsea for anyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine."
