Kaew Jao Jorm

I discovered Kaew Jao Jorm by chance while in Williamsburg, and it turned out to be a wonderful Thai dining experience. The restaurant focuses on Royal Thai cuisine, and the dishes feel refined with well-balanced flavors and layered spices without being overly heavy. The highlight for me was the Pad Kee Mao. The broad rice noodles had an amazing texture, soft yet slightly chewy, unlike most versions I’ve tried. The seafood was fresh, especially the shrimp, which were tender and paired beautifully with the basil and chili aromatics. The Yum Som O (pomelo salad) was also excellent. The pomelo segments were juicy and refreshing, mixed with mint, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. The chili lime dressing added a bright acidity that balanced the natural sweetness of the fruit.

Overall great spot. The decor, table setting, vibe and service are really on point so gorgeous. I would recommend the gaeng poo which is a coconut based curry with a whole soft shell crab and the pad see ew. One of the best pad see ews I’ve ever had. Honestly didn’t love either appetizer they were more just aesthetic. The rice is unlimited which is pretty nice especially for eating with the curry. I’d definitely recommend this place. It’s pretty small if you have more than two people you should reserve.

This restaurant might be the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to! It’s small but also very intimate.The time limit per table is 75 minutes, but it was not an issue for us at all. The food came out very quickly, and everything was nice and warm and fresh. We ordered the shrimp cake, gaeng poo, and the duck breast curry. I liked all of the dishes. The Thai iced tea is also great! The customer service was also amazing, as the staff checked in on us throughout the meal and offered rice refills. I’m very happy to have visited this restaurant, especially on the first day of a new year in 2026 🌟

Probably if not the best or one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in the world. The salad, soup, and drunken noodles are all super delicious and authentic. The restaurant is small, and we were lucky to make a last-minute reservation. The service is top-notch, and the wine selection is nice as well. Really happy to have discovered this gem and will be back for sure.

Firstly, as soon as you walk into the place, you feel like royalty! It’s a cozy space but very well decorated, you can tell the design was carefully thought through. Besides the decor of the place, the presentation of the food was also great. I had the purple flower dumplings which had a chicken and peanut filling that was delicious with the perfect hint of sweetness. Also, the lump crab meat salad was perfect as I wasn’t too hungry and came recommended by my waitress, Amy, as her favorite. The salad had a perfect savory and sweet combo with the grapes and tomatoes. It was a bit on the spicy side for me but still very flavorful. I’m not a fan of spicy food so Amy asked them not to top it with chili as they normally do, which I was very grateful for. Amy also recommended the Thai Tea which
