Dannee Thai

Smor Serves Artistic Danish Rye Sandwiches in the East Village — and Other Cheap Eats | Eater NY

"While it lacks the spiciness of Ugly Baby or the scholarly approach to Thai food that once characterized Pok Pok, Dannee Thai is just the kind of neighborhood restaurant I’d love to have a few blocks from my apartment: a seven-day lunchtime special ($10) that begins with soup, fritters, or dumplings and leads to a broad range of mains—drunken noodles, red or green curry, or a basil stir-fry with a choice of meats—washed down with a free soda. The curry puffs are particularly fine, crisp pastry bulging with a savory chicken filling, and my favorite noodle dish so far is pad kee mao (drunken noodles); I go with pork or the mock duck, which are cooked with eggs, basil, bell peppers, and chile paste and finished with a squeeze of lime." - Robert Sietsema
