"From the same owners as smash-hits Thai Diner and Uncle Boons comes Mommy Pai's, a Thai chicken joint born in arguably the best era for chicken joints: People cannot stop eating chicken fingers. 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. Grilled or fried chicken fingers, although, if you're being honest, you're here for something fried. A combination plate includes three in the seasoning of your choice with pickles, a hibiscus-dyed quail egg, one sauce, and a tropical drink for $16."
The restaurant comes from the owners of Thai Diner and Uncle Boons and focuses on Thai-style chicken fingers. The menu features halal, gluten- and dairy-free grilled or fried chicken punched with lemongrass, garlic, soy, white pepper, and coconut. Nine sauces range from Thai hot honey with orange and makrut lime to a Phuket Island sauce with galangal and green peppercorn. Combination plates pair three seasoned fingers with pickles, a hibiscus-dyed quail egg, one sauce, and a tropical drink. Additional items include a crispy tofu sandwich with pickled mustard greens and nam prik num, vegetable plates, coconut-scallion cakes, and fries. Service is via a window and small outdoor parklet that evokes a roadside Thai stand in Manhattan.
