The Scene – Loungified Long Tan brings Park Slope a reasonably priced, late-night date spot. The restaurant has several distinctly different seating areas--red banquette-flanked main hall, secluded back patio, grill-side counter seats, darkened couch nook--allowing diners to pick their desired level of privacy. – – The Food – Heat-seeking curry fans, as well as less daring diners find much to savor on the lengthy Thai menu. Portions are generous and flavors surprisingly sophisticated. Specialties include sweet corn and succulent duck peeking through a creamy red curry,…

My Second Kitchen
by flaurena
I have been living in the Slope for a few years, and have been ordering food from Long Tan since day one. I've dined in too, although not as much. Back when times were good we'd order from LT once a week, nowadays we generally order in 2-3 times a month, and it's usually from Long Tan. Dollars are a precious commodity nowadays, and if I'm going to spend extra money ordering in then I want to know that I will be getting a delicious meal that will arrive usually within 15 minutes, even if I'm ordering at 11.45pm, with plenty of leftovers for lunch! I've never had a bad meal, and, when I've dined in, never had a bad cocktail nor had to wait for a table, even for 6 people. The chef is inventive and makes a better Massaman Lamb Curry than most of the Thai restaurants in the area (including my other favourite, Mango Thai). My foodie friends, picky friends, vegetarian friends and gourmet chef step-father want to live in my neighbourhood because of Long Tan. What more could you possibly ask for? Reasonable prices? Check. Attentive service? Check. And if you're extra lucky, you'll be greeted by the lovely maitre d' Pedro who will remember you and always make you feel welcome.
- Pros: Consistently great food delivered quickly up until midnight
- Cons: None. I haven't a bad word to say about the place.

solid place
by browneyedgirl73
i have been coming here for the past two years, and i have yet to be disappointed. their noodle dishes are great, curry is really decent, and i've consistently had great service and food here. i actually recently tried the kangaroo salad...it was pretty good, if you're the adventurous type, try it. the atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, also really good place to bring a date, as its dimly let and relatively quiet. staff is courteous and will try to accomodate you, and its a great value. hard to find a solid restaurant like this.
- Pros: food, value, atmosphere, staff
- Cons: can't think of any

My kids love it, I love it, my friends love it. Whether in a large group, a family, or by yourself at the bar-a great place. I love the chil atmosphere, and the hot scene at night. Kids like to watch the food being cooked, and the servers are kind and patient. Great bar staff too!
- Pros: Great for everyone, excellent bar scene, good with kids
- Cons: food can be spicier

"The lemongrass is always greener at Long Tan. Jeff Hardinger's jungle curry is spicy but not menacing, and Junior's pork, rice and garlic sausage evokes descriptions like demure and supple but friggin excellent is the final verdict." Time Out NY 02
"Hip young things" keep this "sleek" Park Slope Thai "buzzing" while chefs wok out a "spirited" menu in the "great open kitchen" It proves one can be "trendy" at Brooklyn prices". ZAGAT 2003
