Neighborhood Eats: Klom Klorm gives taste of Bangkok in Brooklyn
BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- New Yorkers love their Thai food and one restaurant is giving the neighborhood a sampling of Bangkok in Bushwick.
The owner of Klom Klorm on Wyckoff Avenue, Thawatchai Thadchan, has multiple restaurants, and when he opened his first location in Brooklyn, he decided that one wasn't enough.
So he opened a café just steps away around the corner. It's the perfect place for something small, fresh and on the go.
Thadchan has his hands in a number of restaurants across three boroughs, which is a nice accomplishment considering he never planned to own restaurants. But after five years of waiting tables while studying, he thought, why not.
