Jan Jao Kha Thai Restaurant

Right off 9th Avenue, Jan Jao Kha Thai Restaurant turns noodles and curries into your midtown escape. Situated at 830 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019, the kitchens here keep the lunch rush moving whether you’re at a table or scooping takeout off the curb. Curbside pickup adds another layer for anyone who’d rather dash back to the office with pad thai in hand. Solo diners slide into an open seat during weekday lulls between noon and 9 p.m., ordering off the counter while neighbors crowd the handful of folding chairs along the sidewalk. The place pours iced Thai tea and serves up fried rice at a tempo that won’t keep you waiting for the next meeting back.
