Am Thai Bistro Is Coming to Church Avenue in January

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

The rumors of a second Am Thai location moving into our area have been confirmed, and we’re excited to hear they expect to be open soon. Owner Boonnum Thongngoen tells us that Am Thai Bistro, to be located in the old In Between space on Church Ave near the corner of East 10th Street, will be ready to open toward the end of January.

Am Thai Kitchen, located on McDonald Ave near Albemarle, has long been a favorite of Kensington residents, the Village Voice, and those in our neighborhood lucky enough to live in their delivery area. Portions of the Bistro’s menu have already been posted to their website, and it looks mostly the same, with some intriguing additions–perhaps a nod to their new Caribbean neighbors, they include appetizers like the Roti Massaman and something called Rock and Roll Duck, in which crispy duck, a favorite at Am Thai, is rolled up in roti.

They’ve also got what appear to be mock-ups of the space on the site–looks like it will be cozy, but still it’s way bigger than the space that Kitchen has. It will be a great addition to the neighborhood, one that should lively up a currently quiet block of Church.

If you’d like to be added to their email list, just ask next time you’re at the Kitchen, or email amthaibistro@yahoo.com.

    Rock and Roll Duck? You betcha! OMG, if this place really opens in the desolate hole left by the little-mourned “Eatry and Pastry” I will die of joy. We will have to form a chain of “human arrows” to get folks over there.

    Um, they weren’t “rumors”.  It was reported in the New York Times.

    Is this the same Am Thai as the Am Thai located on McDonald?
