“ Amazing food! We ordered the smash burger, the wings, and the drunken noodles. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I found the burger to be extremely unique for a smash burger it was filled with peppers and onions, and had a lovely sweet, tangy, savory sauce. It wasnt like any other smash burger Ive tried in NYC. Definitely recommend coming as a group and trying a variety of dishes. The burger is only available for lunch 123! ”
“ This is simply a 5 star experience. I came for the smash burger, my taste buds were smashed. Size, flavor, spice, 1010 Thai iced tea 910 Ambiance, service, music, design 1010 Warning if youre not used to Thaiasian spice it can be a lot but I thought it was just right ”
“ How could I have lived for 40 years of my life without a Krapow Smash Burger? Did life even exist before this moment? It is hands down a life changing experience to eat the food at Little Grenjai. Everyone should be running to try the food here. I love a little familyowned and local restaurant to BedStuy. Definitely love supporting small businesses that make amazing food. Ill be dreaming of this stuff until my next visit ”
“ I came here on a really busy Sunday, but we were the first to arrive and so we were seated immediately. They had a few outages that day, but they were able to work around it and give us other options for the dishes that we ordered. They were kind enough to make sure that we got reimbursed on the parts of the order that they could not fulfill And I will say that all the food that came out was really delicious. I especially really like the burger and the Matcha that I got. The space looks like a diner and service seems really fast and friendly, the owners are from the Neighbourhood and so they have a really good feel and vibe for the place and they also seem to welcome a lot of locals here. I definitely would recommend checking this place out. ”
“ Walked in on a Friday with no reservation and had to wait approximately 2 hours but it was so worth it. Crab Rangoon was absolutely crack. The crab pad Thai was amazing, it had this sweet and spicy vinaigrette chutney on top I was in love. We sat at the bar seating facing a window, which was annoying because the seats kept spinning. Otherwise service was great and prompt! ”
“ One of my favorite dinners in Brooklynmaybe it was the company, but Im still savoring every bite. This cozy, vibrant spot has that easy, feelgood energy that makes you want to stay awhile. We went familystyle thanks to Penn, our fantastic waiters suggestion, and every dish was a love letter to Thai flavors. Charred Braised Cabbage? Unreal. Massaman Short Ribs, Drunken Noodles, Crispy Rice Salad, Papaya Saladeach bite packed with bold, balanced flavors. We had a vegetarian in our group, and the kitchen happily adjusted dishes to meet her needs, which made the experience even better. Thoughtful hospitality like that always stands out. And dessert? Thai Tea Cake Ice Cream Sundae were the perfect sweet ending. Great wine, warm vibes, food made with love. Cant wait to go back. ”
“ Best fried chicken Ive had. The smash burger is great but note they serve it only for lunch of happy hour Thursday. The wedge salad was also the best ever had. Great quality of ingredients used in everything. Unpretentious environment and open kitchen. Congratulations, great hospitality. ”
“ This place of Thai style cooking is by far one of the best places Ive ever tried in NYC! I do recommend their Bangkok Street Style Pad Thai dish because of how flavorful it is. Also staffs are very welcoming, outgoing helpful with suggesting dishes ”
