Isle Thai
New York City, NY
Isle Thai is located at 282 Bleeker Street in Manhattan. It’s a small, trendy little thai restaurant that boasts some serious “Thai Home Cooking”. I was there celebrating a friend’s birthday and the meal was a pretty good compliment to great night out. We loaded up on sake before we headed out to the club and bars… yes it was fun.. =)
Pad Thai
Yellow Curry
Tamarind Whole FishSo we start off with some Pad Thai, Stir-fried rice noodle with egg, peanuts, scallions and bean sprouts.. It was good, maybe a little wetter than I’m use to but the flavors were all there. It’s really hard to mess something like that up. As you can see, when you go to a Thai place.. you want to get the staples and see how they measure up. The Yellow Curry, mild curry with chicken, potatoes and onions in coconut broth was flavorful but the chicken was a touch too dry. Still a decent serving..
And lastly we had the Tamarind Whole Fried Fish, Crispy fish fillet with tamarind sauce…It wasn’t bad, nothing spectacular but I think it was a lot to do the lack of meat on the fish. Regardless, I love fried fish.. it kind of sparks a childhood memory of my mom’s cooking. If you’re in Manhattan and craving Thai, give this place a shot..

Ugh, so unfair of you, I have literally been craving Thai all day and thinking about whether I was going to order Pad Thai or Pineapple curry tomorrow after I get paid, and then you post pictures of everything I want just to tease me!
Looks delicious!

Yummy pad thai!!
I beg to differ, I’ve been to a few Thai places that have messed up Pad Thai.
hehe i kinda like hearty servings of pad thai w/ shrimp =) but this still looks good
I am in Thailand for 6 mths now..I love thai food…but I need something else…Been looking for Dosai everywhere … and I am sick of Burger King, But Today I am in Hong Kong …Dim Sum Here I come…woo hoo.

Oh my, I bet it was extra $$ because it was in a “hip and trendy” restaruant! hahah… thanks for the pix.
3 questions: 1). Do you just travel all over the country, eating everywhere? 2). Are you like 800 lbs? 3). Do you need a traveling companion??
