SAITONG THAI
Another newish Southern Thai spot in the Theater District. Sleek, dark aesthetic that seems to be popular these days.
The menu has an interesting range, from the expected classics to some traditional dishes not often seen to a few fusion-y modern takes.
Tried some classics for a first visit, which were well-prepared. Noodles were well-flavored, but saucier than at other places. Good portions (compared to Chalong, at a similar price point).
Table next to me had the Spicy Pork Hock Soup, which looked more like a stew, and which they devoured in short order. Also the Black Spaghetti Pad Cha and the Grilled Pork Jowl.
I’ll be back to try some interesting and larger format dishes.
