One Dee Siam New York City
One Dee, which has been in business for more than 25 years, is described as a “cozy hole-in-the-wall” restaurant located in Hell’s Kitchen at 792 9th Avenue in New York, NY. It is known as “one of the most popular spots for Thai delivery in Manhattan and is even one of the hottest spots for takeout in the entire city,” according to Uber Eats. The reviews prove its popularity, given the ratings are stellar: it has a 4.5 rating on Trip Advisor and 4.6 on Google Reviews.
One person wrote, “This place is a hidden gen. Definitely worth a visit. Authentic fresh food A+++ Very small restaurant but service was great. Very reasonably priced,” while another commented, “I’ve been a regular customer for years and go nearly every week. Every time I go there are Thai customers there. They have the famous ‘secret menu’ which are very authentic Thai dishes. The service is wonderful, they really make you feel at home and the prices are very reasonable. Try the ‘Shrimp in Love’ – delicious!”

Only time will tell how closely the Jersey City location mimics the NYC one. We do know the well-liked restaurant is taking over the same spot where the previous Thai restaurant, Sawadee, has been in operation since the summer of 2008. It unexpectedly closed at the end of 2019, making it one of Newark Avenue’s longest-running restaurants.
Sneak Peek of the Menu
The diverse menu has endless options and is vegetarian friendly and includes vegan and gluten-free options. There’s so much to choose from, any patron who enters should be able to find something to satisfy his or her taste buds.
Appetizers include three-piece curry puffs, beef and chicken sate pieces, tod man pla, and fried tofu. Some entrees include pad gra prow, pad woon sen, pad gra tiam, pad khing, and spicy bamboo among other items. Chef’s specials include crispy pork with Chinese watercress, crispy pork basil, BBQ chicken, mincemeat basil, and more.
