$$ Prospect Heights Thai
A Vanderbilt Ave Thai kitchen that reads as home-cooking with extra polish—deep curries, snackable starters, and a menu that rewards ordering across a few lanes. Build a balanced spread (one roll or dumpling-like starter, one curry, one rice/noodle) so it stays aromatic instead of heavy.
Must-Try Dishes: Pak Mor (rice paper rolls), Crab fried rice, Duck curry (Kang Phed Ped Yang)
What makes it special: Home-style Thai flavors with a menu built for balanced, shareable ordering.
$$ Prospect Heights Thai
Born Thai is a roomy Flatbush Avenue Thai restaurant just off Barclays where woky noodles, curries, and bolder specials like duck Khao Soi and Kana Moo Krob anchor pre- and post-event meals. The menu balances crowd-pleasing standards with a few more cheffy plates, and the room can handle both casual dates and small groups without feeling cramped.
Must-Try Dishes: Pad Thai, Duck Khao Soi, Kana Moo Krob crispy pork with Chinese broccoli
What makes it special: A reliable Flatbush Avenue Thai option with a bigger menu and dining room than most, plus a few signature dishes that go beyond takeout standards.

Worthy Picks

What makes it special: A neighborhood Thai regular with a dependable duck-and-fried-rice lane.
