So I finally tried the newest neighborhood Thai place, but I must admit that I didn't actually go in... I got it delivered because I was tired and lazy and... whatever. BUT, I had my food in record time! I ordered during prime dinner time, and was so pleased that the delivery took less than 30 minutes. Best delivery time I have seen yet in Kensington. And, we really enjoyed our food. I have the Duck Pinapple Curry which was absolutely delish. :)

My second time eating at 2 B Thai was just as yummy as my first. This place is still relatively new and seemingly undiscovered, which for me was perfect since it wasn't that busy. The dining room itself is quite small and certainly nothing spectacular whatsoever in terms of decor (though candle-lit tables always had a hint of magic), but the food more than makes up for the lackluster interior design.

The crispy basil duck with chili sauce was dynamite...so much so that it was the second time I had tried it and couldn't resist ordering it again. The crispy calamari appetizer with sweet chili sauce was lightly battered and fried perfectly, though I thought the pieces of squid were a bit small and there were no tentacles, which are my absolute favorite portions of calamari. The mango salad with Thai spicy dressing, thin-sliced red onion, and cilantro was remarkably fresh and delicious.

If you're looking for fancy schmancy or atmospheric dining, this is probably not the place. But if you're looking for inexpensive awesome Thai food on a quiet corner in an unpretentious neighborhood in Brooklyn, then this is definitely a place to check out.

i haven't eaten here but surprised when i passed by and saw the food presentation.  Great for this side of town.  Descent prices, especially for the $5.95 lunch special.  

Smart businessman or woman to try and make a quick buck off this place before spending anymore on decor.  After all this area isn't that hip or well known for hanging out, but many locals who discover this place should be greatful there is such a place here where you can eat good, affordable, and sit in with a guest, and not be embarassed that the price of the food reflects the look and presentation of it too.  Glad to see this place bring up the neighborhood's social potential.

I really dig the flavor of their Pad See Ewe and the great noodles they use. The sponginess of them has the perfect bounce and gives great consistency throughout this dish. The gravy is juicier than usual (kind of like lard nar), but taste pretty delicious.

The owners of this restaurant are really friendly and I would recommend going to this place.

Another suggestion would be to try the tilapia mango salad when mango is in season. The mango was not ripe enough, but the dressing made up for it. I'll fill you guys in more once I try more dishes!

Great menu, such a relief from all the dingy places in the area. They had only been open two days, but aside from bringing our second order of rice late, the service was great. Above all else the food was delicious, clean and fresh tasting. The Massamun Curry was thin and delicate with a strong spicy finish crisp vegetables. The coconut rice was moist and subtly sweet. The owners are young and seemed excited and eager to please  their customers with low priced quality food, served in an inviting atmosphere. We will be going back!

ps-they currently are cash only

Kensington is slowly transforming into being the international headquarters for Nail Salons and Thai Food Restaurants.  Although this place has alright Thai Food, it feels like the place was put together at lightening and didn't pay much attention to the details.  

The setup is the exact same as Cafe Regina give or take a coat of paint or two and getting rid of the display cases.  The paint is cracking near the lighting fixtures in less then 2 months of being open, which saddens me because the food isn't all to bad.  It feels like the place was thrown together to start making money, and although the meals are cheap and service is nice ~ I would rather go for a sit down at Thai Tony's any day of the week.
