Pranakhon is a large Thai restaurant on University Place just south of Union Square, inspired by the outdoor alley food scene of Bangkok.
Eater New York notes that it is decorated like a Bangkok outdoor market, complete with a lottery-ticket window and fake electrical poles. Reviewers mention its Michelin Guide listing and friendly staff; kanom jeen green curry, pad Thai and green papaya salad are favorites.
