It has been three years that I discovered Thai Select, a Thai restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. As we were looking recently for a place to eat, walking towards Port Authority on 9th, we stumbled upon it and decided to have dinner there. The place did not change besides the Halloween decor that was all over and the room in the back with its backlit photo still looks beautiful.

As usual, I started my meal with a Thai iced tea that is one of my favorite drinks, that did not last long...

We then shared two appetizers: the crispy tofu with chili sauce (a bit bland so you need a lot of sauce) and the chive pancakes that were quite delicious.

For the entrees, Jodi wanted a mushroom dish that they unfortunately do not offer anymore (they should mark that on the menu) and ended up with string beans and tofu, served with a soy garlic sauce. Good but I admit a bit boring for me (Jodi loves it). On my side, I went for a chicken curry massaman, classic and safe usually. This was good, tasty and not spicy. Well made although not the best I had.

Overall it is was a good meal: Thai Select is a good choice if you are in the area. Know that they serve dishes a bit less classic than the one we had like their honey duck I had last time, so discovering their menu can be a nice adventure.

Enjoy (I did)!
