CorTHAIyou.

Where to Eat in Ditmas Park Right Now | Eater NY

"Corthaiyou is reminiscent of a hip Chiang Mai street cafe with an open kitchen, bamboo walls, and Thai pop playing over the radio. Woven lampshades hanging from the ceiling and old photographs from Thailand provide a serene backdrop for the Thai comfort food — from the northeastern Issan region of the country to be exact — with its wide ranging flavors. Not to be missed are owner Alina Tran’s dishes like the khao soi egg noodle coconut curry served with chicken thighs or tofu, fried egg noodles, and pickled mustard greens for garnish and the gai yang roasted half chicken plated with a side of spicy papaya salad. For vegans, there’s a mock duck that can be paired with a variety of curries and noodles. Come spring and summertime, snag a picnic table with a group in the backyard, surrounded by bright blue and yellow fencing, more bamboo, and hanging white string lights. Be sure to order at least one plate to share of the gui chai, the piping-hot fried chive pancake." - Gabriella Cascone
