‘Thai Food Ger Fi’ restaurant Goes Viral on Twitter
New York City is home to some of the best Thai restaurants in the world. There are classics like SriPraPhai in Woodside, and brand new ones that celebrate regional cuisines.
Soothr serves a variety of family noodle recipes in a contemporary setting. You will also find fiery dishes from Isan in the north-east, and seafood platters featuring delicacies such as fish cheeks.
The restaurant’s Twitter account posted a photo of the restaurant’s front facade.
The restaurant’s bold branding strategy caught the attention of many Twitter users, and many people praised the restaurant for its creativity and effectiveness. The tweet also sparked conversations on the power of marketing and the importance of using social media to promote restaurants.
The restaurant has a unique design that teleports diners to Thailand, complete with an outdoor cinema playing old Thai movies and posters. The menu focuses on traditional dishes such as pad Thai, basil chicken over rice, and five-spice braised pork.
This hidden gem in Park Slope has earned countless rave reviews for its delicious, authentic Thai food and unique wow factor decor. The huge restaurant is decorated to look like a Bangkok open-air market and features a lottery ticket window, fake electricity poles, pigeons, and different dining areas on two levels. The chefs are from the south of Thailand, and their menu includes a mix of street food from Bangkok, regional recipes from all over the country, and invented dishes.
People often search for a restaurant on Google, especially if they are looking for a specific meal or food. Apparently, one restaurant in New York was smart enough to capitalize on this trend by giving itself an online name that will be easy to search for. The Twitter post quickly gained traction, going viral with more than 2.8 million views. Many users praised the restaurant’s innovative marketing idea, calling it “brilliant” and “genius”.
A video showing the tweet has also been posted on YouTube.

In New York City, Thai food goes far beyond the cartons of pad thai you might get from your delivery. The Thai restaurant scene is more diverse than ever, with classic spots like SriPraPhai (a Queens’ Woodside Avenue stalwart) and up-and-comers celebrating regional dishes.
One such promising one, Kitchen 79 in Jackson Heights, Queens, is led by chefs from different regions of the country and specializes in Isaan dishes. The menu includes dishes such as krapow kai daow, a mound of chile-coated pork served over rice with a runny fried egg.
Meanwhile, in the Upper East Side, Thai Diner is a charming spot that combines Thai cuisine with its old-school American dining culture. The restaurant’s menu includes dishes such as som tum salad, rice noodles, and much more. It also includes cocktails such as the pina colada in pineapple and the strong shot full of Thai medicinal herbs.
The restaurant’s Twitter account has since deleted the tweet.
Opening a restaurant in NYC comes with a unique set of challenges. But it takes even more tenacity to do it during a pandemic. Fortunately, this restaurant gets the job done.
Located in Woodside, Thep is an authentic Thai spot with a menu for everyone. The crispy flavors are all paired with delicious dipping sauces, and the main courses offer a wide range of flavours. From creamy coconut curries to Isan staples like krapow kai daow, this is one of the best Thai restaurants in New York City.
The East Village noodle bar offers a unique take on classic Thai recipes, influenced by the owners’ different home regions in the country. The menu is also halal certified, and includes unique dishes such as yai fried chicken (chicken breast marinated in garlic curry with scallions and a sprinkling of peanuts ). The noodle soups are also standouts. Thep’s khao soi is rich, sweet and spicy and has a nutty taste.
