Becoming Chontong Thai Restaurant

"You don't need a silver fork to eat good food." -Paul Prudhomme

Our Story

Chontong’s Thai Restaurant has been a home-style thai cooking, family-owned and operated Thai restaurant located in upstate New York, Delmar.  Welcome to you all to be part of our family! 

We love this quote which found from internet, "You don't need a silver fork to eat good food"  It is so simple but true. You don't need the artificial thing to make you happy. Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed. 

What is Chontong?

The word "CHONTONG" in Thai language is a spoon made of gold which is synonymous with wealth, especially inherited wealth, like someone someone born into a wealthy family is said to "have been born with a silver spoon and gold spoon in his mouth". In USA the expression "silver spoon" is also used, with nearly identical meaning.

Another meaning for "CHONTONG" is eating good food with good spoon. That's why we would like to spoiled you with very good thai dishes which make from fresh ingredients with this gold spoon.


"You don't need a silver fork to eat good food, you do need Chontong"
