I feel like everyone I talk to loves Thai food but every time I try it, I tell myself never again. But recently, I discovered a Thai restaurant in New York City that I absolutely love. It's called
Blue Chili and located on 51st Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.
There seems to be some confusion about the name of the restaurant. It's sometimes called Blue Chili/Siam Inn Restaurant and sometimes just Blue Chili, but the Siam Inn sign is the most prominent when you reach the restaurant. It may not look very nice on the outside, some of the signs even leave you wondering if you're actually looking for the fast food Thai place next door, but don't hesitate and walk right in to the dimly lit cosy little restaurant. If you go around 7pm for dinner, expect it to be full and wait a little for dinner.
The restaurant has a bar area that serves happy hour drinks such as fruity cocktails, beer and wine from 4pm to closing. The lychee Martini and pomegranate Cosmo are delicious!
The food is the best Thai food I've ever tasted. There are options for meats, rice, noodles and even a few vegetarian entrées. For starters, try the chicken skewers. There's four per order and they come with a cucumber relish and amazing peanut sauce. For the main course, try the chicken satueed with mushrooms and bird's eye chili served with jasmine rice is one of my favorites. Be careful of the spice meter, this dish only has a medium spice warning but can be quite spicy for those of you who aren't used to eating such food. The Thai fried rice with chicken is also yummy and once again a little spicy. The shrimp with peppercorn is perfect for people who don't like spicy food. The shrimp are fresh and the dish is flavorful but easy on the tastebuds. To end the meal, order the chocolate soufflé for dessert, a perfect light treat to share for two.
Blue Chili is definitely a restaurant I'll be visiting again!
