From the same owners as smash-hits Thai Diner<\/a> and Uncle Boons<\/a> comes Mommy Pai\u2019s<\/a>, a Thai chicken joint born in arguably the best era for chicken joints: People cannot stop eating chicken fingers<\/a>. This is not your average fast-food chicken tender spot, nor does it want to be. Here, New Yorkers can experience the viscerally sweet, sour, acidic, and chile-spiked flavors that make Thai cuisine so compelling. Find chicken fingers that are halal and gluten- and dairy-free, punched up with lemongrass, garlic, soy, white pepper, and coconut; its nine sauces include Thai hot honey with orange and makrut lime, and the Phuket Island with galangal and green peppercorn. What makes Mommy Pai\u2019s so good is its specificity \u2014 the slate of tropical frozen drinks only sweetens the deal.<\/p>\n

The window ordering system and small outdoor dining parklet make it feel like a roadside Thai food stand planted in the middle of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve not really done Mommy Pai until you\u2019ve tried all the seasonings and sauces \u2014 it might take more than one visit, or one if you bring enough people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From the same owners as smash-hits Thai Diner and Uncle Boons comes Mommy Pai\u2019s, a Thai chicken joint…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":375643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,174767,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-375642","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dining-reports","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkcity","14":"tag-ny","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115541709015714679","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
