Hell’s Kitchen has always been home to a ton of Thai food options, some excellent, some mediocre, and some not so excellent or mediocre. Sorting the good from the bad can be difficult. A quick Google search of “Best Thai Hell’s Kitchen” returns a mess of results, and you won’t have much better luck doing the research on your own. Here’s a quick cheat sheet from The Infatuation, since we like you: For the real deal authentic stuff, Larb Ubol is the move. Pam Real Thai is an extra-spicy fan favorite, and people do a good amount of freaking out over Pure Thai Cookhouse, which is really good. However, we’re partial to the little empire known as Wondee. When it comes to Hell’s Kitchen Thai, this is where the magic happens. There’s a Wondee Siam, Wondee Siam II, and a Wondee Siam III, though that one has now shuttered. There was never a Wondee Siam IV, but there’s a Wondee Siam V on the Upper West Side, just in case you’re keeping track. Wondee I is the original, and they’ll tell you it’s the most “authentic” of their mini Thai empire, even though all the menus are practically the same. Confused? Don’t worry about it. All you need to know is that the food here is awesome. Follow the Food Rundown for the right way to do things Wondee-style, and prepare to get some spicy in your life, just a short walk from your Midtown office.
