Samyan - Review - Clinton Hill - New York - The Infatuation

"In Clinton Hill, Samyan is a Thai restaurant named after a neighborhood in Bangkok that’s known for its food scene. Their Thai classics include green curry and pad kee mao, as well as whole fried branzino with caramelized fish sauce and massaman with short rib. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman

New to Clinton Hill, this Thai spot serves finger-cut winglets caramelized in fish sauce or dusted Esan-style. Grub Street singled out the split-wing prep in 2025; the menu channels Bangkok street-flavor with Brooklyn swagger.

The Best Food and New Restaurants of 2025 (So Far)

"Wings here riff on a celebrated Vietnamese-style preparation using only the flats split into single-boned winglets to double the surface area for crunch; after breading and frying to a durable, non-flaking crust, they’re lacquered with a concentrated sweet-and-salty caramelized fish-sauce glaze that recalls—and in the critic’s view improves on—the long-missed classic." - Grub Street

I happened to be in the area on some errands and felt like having Thai food. I searched on Google for a Thai restaurant that looked appealing and reasonably priced. This place immediately caught my attention due to its excellent reviews and the fact that it had opened fairly recently. Most importantly, the prices were mid-range and very reasonable for me. Once we were seated and ordered our drinks and food, I was impressed from the very beginning by the warm welcome. The restaurant atmosphere was comfortable, clean, and inviting. When the dishes arrived, we took our time to truly savor the flavors, and I can honestly say they exceeded expectations by a wide margin. The waiting time for each dish was short, which was another pleasant surprise. As for the taste, it was outstanding—well-balanced, rich in flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. The overall experience felt like dining at a high-quality Thai restaurant in a five-star hotel I once stayed at in Bangkok.

Yep, the hype is real. The coconut beverage was delish! The wings were crispy and flavorful, the crab curry and brown rice was divine, and the coconut pudding was one of the best desserts I’ve had (not overly sweet)!! I will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was well-balanced and full of rich, bold Thai flavors. You can tell they really care about getting it right. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was great too. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Thai food that tastes just like it should!

The food was fresh and quality, the drinks were great, the ambiance was nice. Overall a nice spot. Got the pork jowl, the branzino, and crab curry, and the lemonade. I love how juicy the fish was despite being fried. Very flavorful and well seasoned. I will be back.

Honestly, I want to gatekeep, but I love Samyan and the staff so much it's more important that they are known and have great business! This is one of the best Thai spots I've been to in NYC. Highly recommend the tom yum goong soup and crab fried rice. I have as yet to try to khao soi but I'm dying to! There are so many great things on the menu it makes ordering tough! They also offer lunch specials and happy hour! Tisha provides the most friendly and wonderful service -- she does it all and often takes care of everything all by herself! Cozy, quaint ambiance, amazing food and exceptional service. Samyan is a must-try!

So far so good! Tried out this relatively new Thai spot and was impressed with the bold flavors and attentive service. We sampled a few dishes, including the pork belly appetizer and crab curry. Everything was tasty and well spiced. Speaking of, Samyan actually offers Thai spicy level of spice, and I believe it! The medium here is more like a medium-high spice elsewhere-- cool. They have a terrific happy hour and pretty fresh flowers to go with the dim lighting. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.

Super cute new Thai place in Clinton Hill!! The place has a bit of an old school antique vibe, and it felt very calming to walk in. All the recommendations were delicious, and we had three of the dishes: Crab meat curry - incredible balance of flavors, and they give you a REALLY generous portion of meat! Five Spices Pork Belly - braised to a softness and tenderness that melts in your mouth, and the flavor is so deliciously cooked all the way through Tom Yum Goong - this dish comes in a traditional steamboat, and the sour flavor hits you immediately. I like a bit more milky texture, but still really enjoyed this!! Dessert - the coconut cream is no joke, it was garnished and decked out with nuts and jelly and all the textures worked so well together. They also have a mango ice cream available as well! Overall I loved my experience here - the service is so attentive and caring, and I really appreciate the care they have for each and every one of their dishes!

If u can handle the heat (spice) Get chicken wings!! I honestly wanted to inhale the whole plate n not share w/ BF Get the ground angus beef w/ egg! Popping the egg over rice was so satisfying. The whole dish is rice annihilator! Can probably eat 2 bowls of white rice per person. Bell peppers do not overtake flavor of this dish (so many other Thai places let bell peppers rumble thru too much) Less spice - non spice Get the crab fried rice! (And this is coming from a crab hater) Impress ur seafood loving friends w/ this dish, u won't regret it. Get the chive appetizer~ love the bean sprouts and fluffy chive squares. Not on the sticky side. All the savory dishes we had were grease / oil-free. Plates were cleared and no excess oil to be found. U feel like u had a non-heavy meal.

Great Thai food and service. It is a new spot in the neighborhood. Wok chive is a vegan friendly Thai styled chive cake.

This place is a great new addition to Clinton Hill! Great tasting Thai food. Very cute, clean and warm. Enough vegetarian and pescatarian choices for us and of course plenty for carnivores. Service is quick as well. Everything tasted clean --not too oily or sauce y.

Best Thai food I've ever had!! Every bite was unique and full of flavor. Their special for the night was particularly incred-- a fried fish salad with basil, thin sliced apples and veg, garlic, YUM! Every dish was so fresh and always finished with a beautiful sauce. Amazing service and drinks as well. Go here!!

Wolf D.

Place is great, lots of authentic options, and of course all of the classic Thai-NYC menu options like pad Thai and basil fried rice.

They may be paying for reviews because I had the opposite of these cliche experiences, granted I did not eat in. Everything on their menu is incredibly overpriced 14 bucks for crab Rangoon? 18 for pad Thai? The Thai place that was formally at this location was way cheaper and better. Booo to this spot.

Catie S.

Yelp

Everything we ate was great - so flavorful and fresh!! The short rib was a stand out and some of the best pad Thai I've had.

Wendy N.

The reception was exceptional! And I'm so excited to try their dishes because their Thai iced tea was superb!!
