Rhong-Tiam Express

I think I found out about this place from another food blog. Reviews seemed good and menu looked good too. They have some unique things but since this was my first time going there, I opted for my usual dish...

Anyway, it was one of those windy and cold new york days but I went out for a walk anyway.


This is really more of a take out restaurant, which is probably why the word "Express" is in the restaurant title. When you go inside, you'll see a big counter and a couple of tables on your right. Maybe there are more tables somewhere else but I didn't see it.

Drunk Man Noodle with Chicken - Lunch Special- $8.50 (before tax)

The noodles were pretty spicy. Certain pieces were spicier than others. If the whole thing was spicy, I don't think I would have enjoyed it. It tasted slightly different from your typical drunken noodles. It had a strong "black pepper" taste to it. The sauce was spread out evenly. You know how sometimes, when they cook noodle dishes, they don't properly spread out the noodles and so there are pieces of noodles that have no sauce? Yea, this wasn't too bad.


The lunch special came with a Thai salad. I enjoyed this. The peanut dressing was good. I liked the greens too. It wasn't your crappy iceberg lettuce ;)


I dunno - overall, the food was good but at the end, I wasn't that satisfied. I was really full but I just didn't feel satisfied. Maybe I am getting sick of pad kee mao/drunk man noodles...I guess I need to spice things up! I will get one of their roti wraps the next time.

  1. I've been to the one near NYU but they moved it somewhere else. It's a good Thai restaurant.
