   We’ve been to P&K LES for brunch and loved it. Dinner isn’t as good here. Huge plates, tiny tables and bad pacing of small/large dishes meant a constant reshuffling of food from one dish to another to create an inch of space and we had our drinks under the table at our feet. Tables are irregularly set so that one side of the room is spacious and the other (between the bar and the kitchen) ridiculously tight. We had a neighbour at one table cursing loudly throughout dinner (not angry, that was just her conversational style) and 5 people crushed onto a 4top the other side who were almost sitting with us. The food was okay but a few lighter dishes on the menu would be nice and the service was friendly and wonderful. We’ll maybe come back for brunch (because why remove those heavenly sliders from the dinner menu?) and ask for a seat by the window or the bar.

   Hi Stew, So sorry you didn't enjoy your experience as much as our downtown location! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to return to either spots & we'd be happy to make your reservation at a more spacious table!

   Food was quite good and the service was quite bad. Our main course was given to another table and we sat for nearly a half hour without the server coming to check if we received our order. The restaurant is busy and the staff seemed overwhelmed.

   With all the previous rave reviews on-line and time to move past opening pains for their UWS location, Pig and Khao was actually quite disappointing. They need to check the cold that comes in from their garage-door windows in the front as food cools very quickly in that area. Midway through small or large plates, your orders are already room temperature and below. There's little time to drink or talk without your dishes losing all their heat Not good. More importantly, the advertised "dry aged ribeye steak" -- coming in around $74 with the prerequisite tax and tip (using only 15% not 20% as the tip factor) -- is anything but ribeye. Flank steak or maybe skirt steak: either one is a far cheaper cut of steak than dry aged ribeye. We were not served ribeye but that was what was listed on the menu at a premium price of $59. That price point signifies a far more premium cut than what was presented. Bottom line, at $74 (total price) we were significantly overcharged. The kitchen serves the entire thing pre-sliced (never a good sign that it's a premium steak), hidden under a mound of fried shallots and pearl onions both whole and breaking apart along with an excessive amount of dark brown gravy. In other words, diners don't know what's really underneath it all. Additional problem: A true ribeye steak would never be this tough to slice through with a steak knife. So, if a restaurant is going to treat diners this way -- maybe management isn't aware of the switch the kitchen is making, i.e. telling the patrons it's dry aged ribeye and then presenting them with a far less expensive cut at the much higher price -- you know other shortcuts are being taken.

   We were disappointed. The chefs counter wasn’t worth it as the chef s didn’t engage and look lost .. the music was rap , playing a strange music mix , playing very loud. We had 5 dishes— after dinner had a terrible garlic aftertaste that stayed for another 24hours. The bill was high for a basic Thai food that was advertised as French Filipino dishes

   Everything about this restaurant is fantastic. The food is delicious, the cocktails are great, the service was on point (friendly, helpful, present but not overbearing), and the value of the family meal option is incredible, especially for NYC. Highly recommend! (get the whole fish and the khao soi!)
