Agnes Kumala: Order the ribs, curry puff and papaya salad for appetizers. Pork and crab noodle is great and so does the sukhotai noodle. Pad see euw beef is tasty. Close it with mango sticky rice! Nyammm
Serious Eats: One of the better Thai restaurants on this stretch of Ninth Avenue. Crab and pork with stir fried noodles is the signature dish, well worth ordering on a first visit.

Serious Eats: Totto Ramen's specialty of chicken ramen might sound mild, but their chicken broth is as rich and creamy as the best pork broth.
Compass: Slurp authentic bowls of ramen topped with grilled pork, scallions, and sake-soy eggs.
Anne Lac: This is the newer location in midtown west. ~ 1.5 blocks from original location- larger, less crowded, same food. Roast pork buns are a must. The mega ramen is sinfully good, but gut-bustingly huge.

Steven Y: Get the crispy pork off the secret menu at this BYOB gem, and they provide a corkscrew if you need one; be prepared to wait though as there are only a few tables, but it's well worth it
Kevin Phan: Larb. Soft shell crab. Crispy pork and watercress.
Anissa: BYOB and secret menu! (Just ask for it) Everything we ordered was bomb! Start with the mieng ka na (spicy lettuce wraps) then get the fried pork basil and softshell crab with mango salad! 😛
