Dinner at Chalong was the highlight of my solo jaunt to NYC. I had the crab curry with a side of roti. It was amazing!! (though a little too salty for my palate). The Thai Tea ice cream with boba and black sesame cookies was also outstanding. I highly recommend Chalong will return in the future.

The food was delicious. The staff was nice. It was loud but the space was limited so it went with the territory. I would visit again.

A pleasant find. Had dinner here, and although we didn’t eat a lot, everything we ordered was delicious. The red curry ravioli with meatballs was particularly tasty.
