The Nuaa Table

"The Nuaa Table is one of Brooklyn’s top Thai restaurants, serving dishes like crunchy papaya salad, a sour sausage and crunchy rice salad, and Jasmine tea-smoked ribs that any pitmaster would fall for. Split a bunch of dishes in the attractive dining room with yellow walls and glowing lamps hanging from the ceiling, or, if it’s warm out, eat under some string lights on Vanderbilt Ave." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, willa moore

"Located right on hopping Vanderbilt Avenue, where a dining area in the middle of the street often banishes cars, Nuaa Table offers the familiar cuisine with lots of colorful bistro flourishes, along with inventive dishes and a section of street food, including lots of noodles. A Bangkok stir-fry of pork bites and basil comes topped with a runny deep-fried egg, while a banana blossom salad packs a good deal of heat and sourness, served with greens and herbs for wrapping bites." - Robert Sietsema

"Located on Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, Nuaa Table has some lesser-seen Thai dishes. There’s banana blossom salad with quail eggs, crab curry noodles, and jasmine tea-smoked ribs. The restaurant is pretty reliably easy to get a seat at if you’re trying to cram in a meal before a Barclays event." - Eater Staff

"You wouldn’t know it by looking at the picture, but this dish highlights licorice-like basil, almost as a main ingredient, and it’s hot as hell with two kinds of chiles, including the small but incendiary bird’s eye variety." - Robert Sietsema

"Chef Pitipong Bowornneeranart strives for uniqueness in many of Nuaa Table’s offerings, including a crunchy banana blossom salad, flower-shaped dumplings, and this street food selection from Bangkok, which features gnarly nuggets of pork stir fried with basil, two types of chile, and other vegetables, finally crowned with a fried egg with a drooling yolk. The yolk makes a delectably rich sauce, and mellows an otherwise tongue-scorching dish." - Robert Sietsema
