★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I recently visited Samyan, a casual Thai eatery that completely exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the experience was delightful. We ordered a variety, including the Grilled Pork Jowl, Samyan Wings, Samyan Fried Fish and Crab Meat Fried Rice. Every dish was bursting with flavor, authentic and perfectly seasoned. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. The service stood out as well. If you’re craving Thai food, Samyan should be on your list.
June 07 · puntira kittinivatkulIf I could give more than five stars, I would.Samyan Brooklyn truly delivers the taste of home.Let’s start with their Signature Wings, the highlight of the restaurant — perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection. They pair beautifully with the bold, flavorful papaya salad and the incredibly tender grilled pork jowl, which is juicy, well-balanced, and melts in your mouth.For main dishes, the crab fried rice is a standout. It’s fragrant, rich, and full of smoky wok flavor — pure comfort in every bite.The short ribs massaman curry is rich, bold, and full of character — a must-try for anyone who loves beef and deeply spiced curry.The tom yum soup with shrimp surprised me — it tastes just like the one I used to have in Bangkok. Bright, spicy, and incredibly aromatic.Don’t miss the fried whole fish and the sautéed stinky beans — both full of authentic flavor and cooked to perfection.Even the simple sautéed cabbage is unexpectedly delicious — full of umami and depth.And the Thai-style omelette is exactly how it should be: crispy outside, fluffy inside, and deeply satisfying.Overall, I enjoy every single dish here.Whenever I miss Thai food, this is the place I always come back to — and it never disappoints.You might think I’m exaggerating, but I genuinely encourage you to come and taste everything I’ve mentioned.Every dish is made with care, bursting with flavor, and absolutely worth trying.This restaurant doesn’t just serve food — it serves memories, comfort, and the kind of flavor that stays with you.Highly recommended.
July 29 · Emmy Siripa V.Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was well-balanced and full of rich, bold Thai flavors. You can tell they really care about getting it right. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was great too. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Thai food that tastes just like it should!
March 28 · Janvich VanichpipatThe food was fresh and quality, the drinks were great, the ambiance was nice. Overall a nice spot. Got the pork jowl, the branzino, and crab curry, and the lemonade. I love how juicy the fish was despite being fried. Very flavorful and well seasoned. I will be back.
April 26 · William LinWhile driving through the Fulton St area, I spotted a newly opened Thai restaurant—Samyan—and decided to stop by.The food turned out to be absolutely amazing—just like having Pad Thai in Thailand!The creamy Tom Yum Goong was uniquely flavorful and perfectly spicy—one of the best I’ve had.The crab curry was rich and delicious, with a generous amount of real crab meat—great value for the price.Samyan Wing’s flavors are well-balanced and easy to enjoy.I’ll definitely be back and will recommend it to friends and family.
