Kaew Jao Jorm Thai williamsburg Brooklyn

Found this gem near my apartment, it’s not a big space but very cozy. The service was amazing, staff were attentive, and frequently came by to give us rice and water. The food was delicious, dishes are definitely on the pricier end but the portions are well sized. Highly recommend and would come back again!

Upon entering the restaurant, you can see how beautiful the decor is and it transport you to Thailand royalty times! Each dish is plated with meticulous attention to detail, featuring vibrant colors and textures that promise an explosion of flavors. The soft shell crab dish paired with a rich, creamy curry sauce was the star of the meal. The delicate balance of spice, creaminess, and fragrant herbs creates a symphony of taste. The freshness of the ingredients is evident, especially in the seafood, which is cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and complemented by aromatic seasonings. The duck in tamarind sauce is sooooo good! Sweet and savory! Make sure you get the rice to pair with all the entrees. All the food was 10/10. Overall, this meal is a harmonious blend of creativity, taste, and tradition. It's the kind of dining experience that lingers in your memory, leaving you eagerly planning your next visit. Highly recommended for food lovers and culinary enthusiasts!

The ambience of this restaurant is amazing. Perfect for an intimate or romantic dinner. The decor is tasteful and warm. In addition to all that the food is immaculate and delicious. The dumplings we had were an excellent slightly sweet and savory start. The prawn salad has HUGE DELICIOUS PRAWN HEADS which is a must! The entrees were excellent with a perfect mild spice. I love mega spicy dishes but the food is so delicious I don’t even care. Lastly, the royal coconut ice cream dessert was the perfect finisher. I wish I had another one and didn’t have the share the one I ate 😂 The service is wonderful also. They checked in regularly, constantly kept our glasses full of water and made sure we had as much rice as we wanted.

This was such a great experience! We loved the atmosphere of the place, it’s very authentic and cozy! The food was delicious, it felt like I never had good Thai food before and this was totally the best! Amazing service, not every place has it, but here we felt welcomed, thank you Kat! Will definitely be back!

One of the best Thai restaurants i have ever been. It was a total vibe. The atmosphere was so cozy, and the service was top-notch. Especially Royal Pad Thai, Crab Curry and Salted egs with Five Spiced Pork I ordered- they were delicious. The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced, and the portion size was more than generous. I'd highly recommend this spot to any fellow Thai food lovers out there. Plus, the prices were reasonable, which is always a plus. Overall, a solid dining experience. Can't wait to go back again. Definitely, worth booking in advance and trying!

Super pretty little restaurant with tasty royal Thai food. I really loved the pomelo salad and the Tom yum fried rice. Full of flavor and good portion sizes. The Thai flower dumplings were pretty but lacking in texture and flavor, this I thought most not worth getting. The Penang beef curry had good flavor but some pieces of beef were too chewy, this dish would’ve been great had they used braised beef instead of slices. Steam squid was tender but needed a little more salt. And we really loved the chewiness of the dessert gnocchi.

Nothing else to say than my belly is full and that the food was amazing. I would say that it is my favorite Thai restaurant so far in NYC now. Everything felt really authentic. Can’t wait to be back probably next week.

Visited with a group of friends and had an absolutely delightful experience. The flavors were uniquely complex, showcasing authentic traditional Thai cuisine in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The service was warm and attentive, making the evening even more enjoyable. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was fantastic. We’ll definitely be coming back! **P.S.** The **Yum Som O** is a must-try — highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious Thai food at Kaew Jao Jorm. Every dish ordered was 10/10 and I plan on coming back asap before they become too popular. I made a reservation a couple of weeks in advance for a Wednesday night but walking in would have been fine. However, keep in mind that this restaurant is tiny (less than 30ish seats I think) so once they do become popular or on busier weekends, reservations are probably better. For a group of 3 we ordered the Yum Som O (Pomelo Salad), Phed Ma Kham (Duck Breast), Salted Eggs with Five-Spiced Pork, and Crab Omelette. This was a perfect amount of food for our group and every dish was phenomenal. The only dish I thought that was good but not necessarily special enough to re-order was the Crab Omelette. Solid dish but nothing stood out compared to the other dishes. Also unlike other Thai restaurants that charge $$ for a side of rice, this place offers free unlimited rice. Unheard of in NY where nothing is free. Make sure to come try the food here before it becomes impossible to grab a table!

WOW. What a spot. This is still a relatively new restaurant, aka a hidden gem. I lowkey hope it stays this way for my own sake, but also hope that a lot of people find out about this spot and start coming because it's just that good. Service was excellent -- our server was very attentive with us, seeing if we needed more water or rice, and asking if the food was okay. We began with Chor Muang (royal flower dumplings). These were chewy on the outside from the rice dough, and soft and savory on the inside with a chicken-peanut filling. They're beautiful too. We opted for the Gaeng Ped Phed Yang (duck curry) and Pad Kea Mao Seafood as our two entrees. I loved how each dish bursted with flavor, all with sweet, spicy, tangy, acidic, perfectly salted and incredibly delicious. Definitely will come back here again for some authentic Thai food.

Wow. Just wow. Incredible food, service and ambiance! I don't go into Brooklyn that often but will most definitely go for food and Kaew Jao Jorm is top of the bar! Everything we had was a flavor explosion of salty, tang/sour, and spicy. I love spicy and some of the dishes here had a good kick so be forewarned to ask if you are averse to spicy food. Seafood ingredients were especially fresh and you could taste it. Service was impeccable. Workers were very helpful with recommendations and refilling water. Someone came by with a fancy container of rice and offered refills (trust me, you need to get the rice to sop up all the sauce from other dishes). Highly recommend Kaew Jao Jorm to get your Thai Royal Palace fix in. Ordered: Drinks *pandan lemongrass juice *bael juice Appetizers *banana blossom salad *phla pla too (Thai mackerel) Entrees *run juan curry (this was the only thing I would probably not order again just because I'd like to try the other curries which sound amazing) *salted eggs with five-spiced pork Dessert *Thai gnocchi in coconut milk

Kaew Jao Jorm Thai is a true gem in Brooklyn! I love the beautifully decorated space and warm service here. We started with the Chor Muang (Royal Flower Dumplings), and they were my favorite. The soft, chewy purple rice dough was not only visually stunning but also perfectly complemented by the sweet-savory chicken and peanut filling. The Yum Som O (Royal Thai Pomelo Salad) was equally delightful--refreshing, citrusy, and packed with layers of flavor from mint, shallots, and kaffir lime leaves. For mains, the Gaeng The Po (Thai Curry with Pork Belly and Morning Glory) was rich and comforting, while the Young Coconut Tom Yum Prawn stood out with its bold, spicy, herbal broth and tender jumbo prawns. The "mild" spice level here still packs a kick, tho FYI! The meal ended on a sweet note with the Thai Gnocchi in Coconut Milk, a delightful dessert featuring chewy pandan gnocchi in creamy coconut milk with young coconut--an absolute must-try. We paired everything with their teas, and both the Turmeric Mango and Wild Thai Black were aromatic and perfectly brewed. Bonus points for the unlimited rice refills, which goes perfectly with the curry! This spot checks all the boxes: delicious food, attentive service, and great ambiance. Can't wait to come back! Hi

Found this gem near my apartment, it's not a big space but very cozy. The service was amazing, staff were attentive, and frequently came by to give us rice and water. The food was delicious, dishes are definitely on the pricier end but the portions are well sized. Highly recommend and would come back again!

While the food is undoubtedly delicious, I mainly am rating five stars due to the exceptional service and hospitality. I felt so welcomed and comfortable, even amiable, throughout my entire experience thanks to every staff I interacted with. My favorite dish is the Chor Muang appetizer. The pomelo texture unexpectedly but perfectly fits with the Southeast Asian flavors. The side rice is unlimited! As a devout carbs addict, I couldn't ask for a better perk. Love the interior as well. Very full and lively without feeling disorganized.

The food here is authentic and tastes delicious! The La Tiang and Chor Muang appetizers are so unique and the texture of the purple dumplings was chewy and had a nice savory filling. The crab curry was not too spicy and had lots of meaty crab in it. The duck was very tender and had a nice crispy skin! It's small inside, but it's very clean and beautifully designed. The waitress was really helpful with menu recommendations and was very efficient!

Kaew Jao Jorm, a new restaurant located in East Williamsburg, has easily become my latest favorite thai restaurant in NYC. Walking into the restaurant is an experience itself. The ambiance is relaxing with dimmed lighting, soothing music and luxurious decor to match. The menu features a variety of little-known traditional thai dishes. While the dish names are written in thai and lacks images, our server is sweet and knowledgeable. She enthusiastically introduces us their best didjes and is attentive throughout the dinner. ＊La Tiang*** La Tiang is a type of traditional royal snack made of shrimp, pork, and peanuts envelopped together in a square shape of a thin mesh omelette net. I've never seen such dish before. The delicacy and uniqueness leave us in awe. ＊Gong Sa Rong** The deep fried jumbo shrimps are wrapped with crispy noodle. The outer layer is crispy, while the shrimp is bouncy and fresh. The sweet chili sauce on the side adds tangy sweetness to the dish. ＊Salted Egg with Five-spiced Pork*** The thickly sliced pork belly is simmered in a sweet and deeply flavored broth with herbs. The salted duck egg is too salty on its own, but it gives an umami taste to the dish. This pot of braised pork is a rice thief, but don't worry it comes with a giant silver pot of rice. ＊Poh Tak Talay It is a spicy bouillabaisse served with mixed seafood, including jumbo shrimps, mussels, squids, and more. The broth is really spicy, but the spice doesn't overpower the seafood. You can still taste the freshness of ingredients and a slight hint of zesty lemongrass. ＊Thai Gnocchi in Coconut*** Now I wish all thai reataurants serve this dessert. The thai gnocchi is TO DIE FOR! The pandan coconut milk is incredibly rich and creamy, as they don't dilute the base with half & half or milk other than coconut milk. Different from regular gnocchi, this one is softer and has shiny blue and white stripes.

Spent a wonderful evening @kaewjaojorm.restaurant . It's a Thai restaurant that uses recipes from the Royal Thai palace. The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and seasonings. My favorite was the curry with the soft shell crab and the shrimp rings. The server was so attentive and explained each dish perfectly. The vibes and decor were amazing in this small intimate restaurant. What we ate: Chor Muang - purple flower dumpling Fried Shrimp ring Curry with soft shell crab Whole fried branzino

New Spot Alert! If you're in East Williamsburg, you've gotta check out Kaewjorm--a hidden gem serving up some seriously delicious Royal Thai Food . We had the Royal Thai Spicy Herbal Shrimp Salad and it was packed with flavor! The La Tiang is this cool, thin omelette stuffed with shrimp, chicken, and peanuts--so good! And the Pla Lui Suan... just wow. The place is super pretty, the service is awesome, and they give you unlimited white rice with your meal. Definitely a must-try! Feature: -La Tiang 15 Shrimp, chicken and peanuts minced together and wrapped in a thin mesh like omelette casing -Saeng Wa Goong 18 Royal Thai spicy herbal shrimp salad -Pla Lui Suan 40 Fried marinated whole fish with Thai aromatic herb -Gaeng The Po  25 Thai curry made with pork belly and morning glory -Chu Chee pla too 25 Thai mackerel with red curry sauce -Bael juice 8 -Thai ice tea 8  -Siam red ruby in coconut milk 15

This is definitely a new go-to Thai spot! Every dish had such unique flavors and definitely hit the spot. We started with the Chor Muang, dumplings in a sticky rice dough. For entrees, we had the Gaeng Poo, a soft-shell crab curry, and the Massaman Neua, a beef curry. The soft-shell crab was perfectly fried, and everything comes with unlimited rice. They're still working on their liquor license but they are BYOB for now.

This is an upscale Thai restaurant from the interior decor to the way they present all their dishes. It really is a beautiful place to dine at. The prices are similar to prices you'd pay at a fine dining spot so be prepared for that. Every dish that I ordered was authentically flavored, giving a true Thai cuisine experience. The Royal flower dumplings were something that I've never had before. The chicken and peanut filing was an acquired taste and had a smooth texture. It was pretty as well. The shrimp cakes were classically made. I always love a good Thai shrimp cake. The panang neua was also delicious. I loved the spice level on it. The beef pieces were thick but I felt like the serving was very small for what they priced it at. The crab fried rice was really good and I enjoyed the jumbo lump crab meat in it. I felt like they really packed it with lots of crab so you definitely get your money's worth on that. The waitstaff was really attentive to our needs. I brought my 3 year old here. I felt like they really adjusted to her being in there, seeing that the restaurant was giving more of an "adults only" feel. However, I did have a negative experience with the bathroom. There's only 1 and that's probably not ideal for any parent bringing their toddler. My daughter had to go really bad and so she ran to the bathroom, rattled the door handle. I told her to stop. But she was nearly close to tears because she couldn't hold it in. So I knocked on the door to see if the person in there would be out soon and explained that my daughter had to use the restroom. The person who came out actually ended up being someone who works at the restaurant. They asked me what was wrong with me. I did apologize and say that my daughter just really needed to pee. He had 0 empathy about my 3 year old and said "Well I have to pee too". And while I know that I am entitled to absolutely nothing as a mother, I felt like that was a really rude response for something I was being really kind and understanding about. Anyways, with that being said, I don't recommend this for families or parent(s) bringing their child out to eat. This is more for adults.

This Thai restaurant is truly amazing! The dishes on the menu are hard to find in New York, and they really surprise you. The interior is luxurious and elegant, with dim lighting that creates the perfect atmosphere, making it easy to get completely immersed in the experience! Chor Muang is incredibly high in visual appeal--its purple dumplings look like works of art. The sticky rice dough is filled with chicken and crushed nuts, creating a sweet and savory mix that's so rich in flavor that you can't stop after one bite. Gaeng Ped Phed Yang has super tender duck, paired with the sweet flavors of lychee and pineapple. The curry is rich and smooth, and each bite is simply a pleasure! What I particularly liked is that the rice is served in a large silver container, and you can ask the waiter to scoop it for you, adding a touch of ceremony to the meal. Poh Tak Talay is similar to Tom Yum, with a well-balanced blend of sour, sweet, and spicy flavors. However, the spice isn't as intense, and the addition of Thai basil elevates the dish. La Tiang features egg dough wrapped around shrimp, chicken, and peanuts, with a rich texture. For dessert, I chose Royal Thai Ice Cream, a smooth coconut-flavored ice cream, refreshing and delicious. The drink even has longan! It's sweet with a deep, fragrant dry longan aroma, definitely worth trying. The Cinnamon Plum tea is naturally sweet, requiring no sugar--perfect for cinnamon lovers.

Good experience and friendly staffs. Highly recommend, but portion size is a little small. Nice decoration.

I had my Birthday party lunch there! We had appetizers and entrees that were recommended by the hostess! The seafood boule side, pomelo salads and fish salad was very tasty! We had pad seuw and duck and curries which were great! We had the dessert knocking and Thai ice tea! Fantastic meal, ambience and music!

Really good local thai spot and very nice staff! Definitely worth a visit. More authentic vibes on the menu

i dont say this lightly but this was genuinely the best thai food ive ever had in my life so far. went with a group of 6 and ordered: flour dumplings pomelo salad banana blossom crab fried rice pad see ew tamarind duck panang neua soft shell crab curry each dish was genuinely elite and my least favorite was the pad see ew (which was still very good) if that says anything. the deep curry flavors matched the protein they were served with in an incredibly unique way. the service is excellent as they're very attentive with their provision of free rice for the curries. their teas were amazing too. i genuinely look forward to the next time i can come back and explore more of the menu

Had a very enjoyable dinner here! New spot & great addition to East Williamsburg. Menu has a lot of options, including many with seafood. We shared the banana leaf salad, crab curry, seafood pad kea mao and crab cakes - everything was really flavorful, fresh and delicious with spice, great for sharing. Rice is brought to you individually and refilled. The decor is really nice and service was great. They opened recently so do not serve any alcohol yet, but let us bring wine, not sure if this is just temporary though. Overall great weekday dinner, and will definitely be back! We made a reservation but some of the other tables walked in.
