Reviews of Boran

Authentic and delicious Thai food that are priced reasonably for the neighborhood that it is in. Interior design is warm and gives a nostalgic vibe of Thailand decors. Staff are friendly and nice, albeit often a bit busy rushing around. The appetizer platter is a must-get and is only served as a dine-in option, which was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious with its multiple dipping sauces. The duck curry was decent but not my favorite, for the bamboo shoots was a bit too overpowering in my opinion. My favorite was the special fried rice which I forgot the name of, but if you show them the picture they should be able to tell you. It comes with a mixture of ingredients and you simply mix them together, which ultimately gives you a variety of textures, flavors, and vibrant colors, highly recommended! Thank you for reading and good luck! (:

Food: Very selective menu serves in a very fine dining style. Taste is really authentic Thai cuisine. All dishes are neat and served in right portion. Duck Tamarind - excellent, 5 stars, better than even peking duck. Massaman Curry - slightly hot, milky curry. Tom Kha - excellent, 5 stars, Tom Yum - good, Dorado fish fried but not crispy skin Service: Staff are attentive and provide very comfort atmosphere. Great service. Price: Reasonable comparing with the quality of food, portion size and fine-dining style It is disappointment that they are closed at 10 PM Saturday night

Boran serves more of a Northern Thai flavor than your typical NYC Thai restaurant that serves Pad Thai. Boran does serve that here too, but don't order that since you'd want to taste the other dishes. Order the mixed appetizer platter that it has a variety of flavors to choose from. It comes with fried prawns, fried dumplings, beef and chicken satay, samosa, steamed dumplings, and the feature would be the sausage; it has a gingery sweet hot taste that I've never had before and it's worth ordering the platter alone. In terms of seating, it's limited. So expect to be asked to vacant once you pay the bill. Even though it's limited, Boran it's still worth the visit if you want a different flavor of Thai.

Felt like I was transported to Thailand. The service and decor and vibes were amazing and the food was really cultural. I had the appetizer sampler and the coconut green curry chicken, and in the appetizer. sampler really loved the curry puffs and beef saute with the peanut sauce. definitely use the peanut sauce on the beef saute instead of the chicken. The Thai iced teas were also decent but the appetizer sampler really knocked it out of the park. with definitely come back again

This is my family's go-to Thai restaurant and we have not found any Thai food better than this so far in nyc - including the ones in Woodside Queens. We've been here numerous times and tried almost their entire menu. Below are some of our favorite dishes in case any first timers wonder what to order. 1. Khao Kook Kapi - so many things going on in one plate. My favorite dish among all other amazing dishes. If the owner sees this - can we get that dried crunchy shrimp back in this fish please? 2. Duck basil - this is what we believe the best duck dish on the menu. The sauce is just so amazing - a perfect balance between savory and sweet. 3. Pad Thai Boran - you won't go wrong with this Thai classic. 4. Crispy basil red snapper - best fish award winner! The fish is deep fried to perfection with Thai style sweet and sour sauce. Yum! I think this place excels at their own specialties, not only regular Thai cuisine such as pad thai or curry dishes. so it is a great choice for someone who wants to try something new, you won't be disappointed. The staff is always nice, which is a big plus :)

This place came highly recommended by my friend who also heard the recommendation from two of her own friends so the word of mouth of how this restaurant is a must-go-to, is really phenomenal. Came here with my friend for the first time and was blown away by the excellent appetizer sampler. It's a perfect way to try out all the different appetizers to see which you like best-- the only problem was I loved all the appetizers and wanted more of each! I tried out their duck curry and enjoyed it so much. My friend ordered their pad thai but wasn't too impressed with it. Go with the duck curry, friends. Anyway, the interior is nice and cozy, albeit a bit tight on space, and their dining seats and table could use some upgrading as they creaked and seemed a bit old. Staff were welcoming and nice, and overall the atmosphere was super pleasant whether you're eating out with your girlfriends, or if you're on a date. I brought my new (at the time) boyfriend here for his birthday and he also enjoyed the food and experience and he wasn't too big on Thai food before coming here so that says something. If you do like Thai food then this is the best place to become a regular at or to save for special occasions. I think the prices here are fair and not too inflated for the portion sizes you receive. If you think you'll like it, you definitely will so come try them out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Delicious at every bite! This lively Thai restaurant is so authentic! Everything we ordered had many layers of flavor one more enticing that the other. The mushroom appetizer was crispy with the perfect balance between sweet, tangy and the bite of spiciness. Every dish super fresh and light! Love it and will be back!

Amazing Thai food tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Was very surprised with how delicious and authentic everything way, especially being so far away from the busy streets of New York. Highly recommend trying something out of the ordinary since you’ll never know what you’ll end up liking. Can’t wait to come back!

Authentic Thai food found in Brooklyn! Love everything here. We ordered all of this for 4 people and could barely finish everything. The appetizer platter is so worth it! The lettuce wrap is spicy but so good!!! I think that was the star of the show. Fish was good but it did get cold pretty fast by the time it hit our table. Tom yum soup was a generous portion. Service was good and must have the Thai tea!
