Yelper Tingki L., who reviewed KROK Brooklyn on Feb. 11, wrote, "New favorite Thai place in the neighborhood! I have ordered twice for delivery, and both times food came fast, hot and delicious! Highly recommend the chicken wings with fish sauce."

Davina L. noted, "We opted out of the fish sauce wings and went for the Gai Rard Sauce Si-Sa-Ket Wings — delish! My absolute fave: pad kra-prao (minced pork). So flavorful and rightfully spicy. The weeping tiger was alright. Didn't really dig the texture, but overall, we will keep coming back for the wings and pad kra prao. And they deliver!"

KROK Brooklyn is open from noon–10 p.m. daily.

Yelper Nazia K., who reviewed Thonglor Thai Restaurant on Feb. 6, wrote, "I would have given it a five-star review, but I just wish the Drunk Man Noodles would have been a little more saucy and the duck in the duck salad would have been crispy ... I had the best tom yum soup; great environment, good price, love the place and I would recommend.

Yelper Ava W. wrote, "I would definitely recommend this place for their lunch special! You can get a mini salad, an appetizer and one main course meal for just around $9. I ended up getting spring rolls and pad Thai for my take-out order. The food was pretty good, especially for the price."

The skin was really crispy, and the wings were flavorful. I would definitely order these again. I also ordered some other dishes, which were all good: khao soi, roti canai, beef curry puff and pad Thai. Overall I really enjoyed my experience."

Yelper Pat L. wrote, "We were blown away! The dishes' flavor profiles were totally on point. The ped ka prao (basil ground chicken with fried egg combo) was fabulous. Wonderfully flavored. The green curry was the best Thai curry we've had in Brooklyn."
