Thai Diner
Featured In
Opened in February of 2020 by wife-and-husband team Ann Redding and Matt Danzer (Uncle Boon’s), Thai Diner in Nolita specializes in diner-inspired interpretations of beloved Thai and Thai-American dishes. With reservations in high-demand since its debut, one of the most photogenic items of the food program is the Suvannamaccha’s Offering. A three-tier presentation, the signature tower includes a wide variety of flavors and seafood like oysters; shrimp; mussels; crab legs; scallops; octopus salad; green mango salad; and crispy squid with sides of Tom Yum cocktail sauce, guava nam prik, and ginger aioli.
The dish: Tom yum soup
While chefs Anne Redding and Matt Danzer’s beloved Thai staple Uncle Boons has shuttered, their newer spot, Thai Diner, continues to serve. Within a kitschy, retro diner space decked out with vintage Thai embellishments, the team continues to plate their lauded Thai cuisine, inclusive of a flavor-packed tom yum soup. Expect a sour and fragrant soup with the surprising addition of rice––untraditional, but how Redding likes it.
