"Hidden in plain sight just south of Rockefeller Center, Mitr Thai may be one of the city’s glitziest Thai restaurants, with gold trimmings and fancy woodwork. A luxury restaurant specializing in street food, it offers dishes from all over the country, including lots from Bangkok. The shrimp-and-betel fritter is a beachside snack from southern Thailand, a crunchy fried patty with subtle herbal flavors served with a sweet dipping sauce and a pair of fresh betel leaves." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
