NYC🫶 Delicious Thai Food for Only $30 Per Person!✨

While in Brooklyn for work, I stumbled upon a hidden Thai restaurant that absolutely exceeded my expectations! This place is a gem that not many people know about, but it’s worth checking out.

🍛 Born

💰 Average per person: $30

📍 293 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Menu Highlights:

• Krapow over rice + fried egg (Stir-fried minced pork with basil): One of my go-to dishes, and this place does it perfectly! Juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice.

• Crying Tiger Steak: We ordered it medium, and it was perfectly cooked, with a nice balance of tender meat and fat.

• Sweet sticky rice with mango: A refreshing and sweet end to the meal, with a perfect balance of creamy coconut and juicy mango.

• Sexy Duck Pad Thai: Crispy duck skin, tender meat, and a zesty Pad Thai that won’t overwhelm you with sweetness.

We were a group of 6 and only spent $200, making it an affordable option with excellent food! This place is definitely worth a visit.
