Authentic Thai food with a vast dessert selection
"Khao Nom in Elmhurst is from the folks behind Khao Kang, one of the top Thai spots in NYC. Unlike its sister restaurant, this place has a vast selection of desserts, which range from taro custard and steamed pumpkin cake to sticky rice and coconut pancakes. You’ll see them lined up at the counter all packed up and ready to go. Grab as much as you can carry, starting with the pandan crepes." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
"Khao Nom is Khao Kang’s sister spot. It’s just a few feet away, but here, all the food is made to order. There are things like curry puffs, khao man gai, and khao moo dang with a soft boiled egg and three kinds of pork. We slightly prefer Khao Kang (due to the depth of their curries) - but it’s not like you have to choose between these two very different places. Come here when you want a little more variety, and maybe several courses to your meal, and get a bunch of dessert to-go on your way out." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim
"Khao Nom is a counter-service spot from the people behind Khao Kang, another counter-service Thai that’s just a few feet away. Unlike Khao Kang, the food here is made to order, and the menu consists of things like curry puffs, khao man gai, and khao moo dang with a soft boiled egg and three kinds of pork. It’s a great spot for a quick sit-down meal (at a table made from an antique sewing machine), and the desserts here are especially good. Get a few to take home on your way out." - Bryan Kim
"Krong krang krob — peppery, sweet-and-salty fried Thai crackers — that are sticky from caramelized palm sugar and coconut milk and stand out among the world's best chips." - Grub Street
"A Little Bangkok spot that added economical $10 prepackaged meals, including khao man gai (steamed chicken with a gingery sauce) and nam kra duk moo (garlicky fermented ribs served with sticky rice), for convenient takeout." - Joe DiStefano
