The best part about this restaurant is its EXCELLENT food. The only problem I had was with the sticky rice, but it could be because I let it sit for too long. The waiter was attentive. The atmosphere was tranquil. Street Parking was available. There was something weird going on with reservations. It said there were zero reservations for noon, but literally only two of the tables were full at noon. It let me make an 11:45 reservation. Don't miss this gem read more

Bangrak - Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I had a great experience at Bangrak! The food was flavorful and there was a nice variety of dishes to choose from. I especially enjoyed the red curry duck, which was rich and flavorful, as well as the grilled steak with fried rice. The soft shell crab was crispy and delicious, and the Malaysian roti panang beef was another standout with its flavorful sauce. They also offer a lunch special starting at $14 every day, including weekends, which comes with soup, an appetizer, and an entrée. Definitely a great option if you're looking for delicious and affordable Thai food in NYC! Follow me @foodie.elite on IG, Tiktok and RedNote for more great eats! read more

It's a locals spot for Thai food that is pretty reliable and consistent. Small place and clean with a nice decor, cozy feel. Some nights the place is crowded and on others it's empty but they do a brisk amount of take out / delivery. Which is what I did a few nights ago an order of Pad Thai with chicken and some spring rolls. The Pad Thai was very tasty with a generous helping of chicken, and the portion was large enough to split between two people. Spring rolls we hot and tasty. We pretty much only get take out from here as its close by, and the food is prepared quickly with pleasant service. Lunch specials and happy hour cocktails too. read more

They have great lunch specials everyday as well as HH items until 8pm. I got the pad thai pork lunch specials. The pork was tender but the noodles were a little too mushy and sweet for me. Just a tad bit. I got the shrimp/chicken dumplings which were good and juicy, and all the lunch specials come with a house cabbage clear soup that I enjoyed as well. read more

Place is cute found street parking right outside ! Has about 10 tables friendly staff ! Appetizer came out quick.. limited drink menu given the space but the food was delicious! We had the spiced wings as an appetizer, crabmeat fried rice which had more egg than crabmeat imo but was super delish. The grilled steak fried rice was another hit! read more

What a gem, this restaurant turned out to be . I was originally heading the the place next door but the tables were all occupied there and stools seating available. My back was killing me from walking around with some heavy bags and sitting on a stool was not would be the worst option at that time. I saw that Bangrak had some open tables and the lunch special looked fair. I went in and was so warmly welcomed in the cozy atmosphere . The shop is very cute. For those who love to take restaurant selfies it's perfect. The lucnh special had options to customize ,I like that. The portions were very filling, and the food was excellent. Thai flavors shone through and I honestly stayed much longer than I anticipated. Enjoying the mellow relaxed space. It was after regular lunch rush hours and before dinner so it was not crowded, I can see a place like this with this good food being packed for dinner. Tables are close together and the shop is small . Service was quick and everything was hot and fresh. I got Spring Rolls, (special comes with a soup as well) and the Thai Basil Fried Rice - spicy and fragrant just like i like it -I added chicken. I was too full for dessert ( I had left overs to take home) so I had a ginger tea . The girls serving were very attentive and friendly, I really liked their hospitality. Although my perfect dining experience is solo I think I would enjoy dining here with a friend. It hits all the marks . read more

Easy to miss this modestly sized restaurant which comfortably seats 18. Came here for the first time on a summer Tuesday evening, not one where restaurants are typically busy. This place was almost full. And we found out why. Service was attentive and the food was very good. We started with the chicken and shrimp dumplings. They were tasty and were correctly titled as there seemed to be more chicken than shrimp. For entrees we ordered the Chicken Volcano and Shrimp with Cashew Nut Stir Fry. The Chicken Volcano was plentiful with broccoli, pineapple and assorted veggies. The chicken was fried and while tasty was a bit too greasy for me. The Shrimp Cashew Nut Stir Fry was nicely seasoned and the veggies were cooked just right- not mushy. Pricing moderate. Overall, Two thumbs up! read more

Really enjoyed their pad see ew. Their ambience looked cute inside all I took out the food. The red curry was also good and more of a soup version. I would definitely be back. read more

Ordered delivery from here tonight since I was craving Thai food, and it did not disappoint! My food arrived quickly, hot, and neatly packaged, and the drink was ice cold. They had the clever idea to put my lychee Thai iced tea in a paper rice container, so it wouldn't spill, for which I was grateful. The lychee Thai iced tea had the traditional Thai iced tea flavor we all know and love, plus some additional sweetness and fruitiness from the lychee. It also comes with two pieces of lychee in the drink, which made me very happy. As for the food, it was delicious! Tofu pad see ew is my go-to every time I go to a Thai restaurant or order delivery. It had the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and was also garlicky, which is a flavor I absolutely love. I was also genuinely surprised by how quickly my food arrived, and it did the job of satisfying my cravings perfectly. Whenever I get around to it, I'll definitely be visiting the in-person location! read more

Cute little restaurant on the UES. Definitely tucked away in the 90s. Was trying to get away from my usuals and this spot did not disappoint. Pretty small but definitely mighty. The host/waitress was so sweet. They have weekend happy hour with wines, sangria and sparkling drinks for $8 alongside selective appetizers. Ordered shrimp basil fried rice and it was great. There were some noodles tucked away in the meal but who am I to complain. lol will definitely return read more

We've been regulars here since the restaurant first opened, and it's always been a favorite. The food quality is consistently high, the prices are reasonable compared to other nearby Thai restaurants, and the flavors are far superior. Portions are also generous for the price. We've never had a disappointing meal, and the staff is incredibly sweet and polite. Some of our favorite dishes include: Tom Yum Soup Tom Kha Soup Curry Puffs Chive Rice Cakes Coconut Shrimp Pineapple Duck Curry Cream Shrimp Tom Yum Noodles (with glass noodles!) Chicken Volcano Pad Thai Basil Fried Rice Pineapple Fried Rice All the curries, salads, and soups! Honestly, there's no bad dish on the menu--everything is perfectly flavored. The restaurant itself is charming, with a pink, Instagram-worthy decor that might appeal more to younger crowds. Since it's near my child's middle school, we often grab takeout, stop by for a quick bowl of soup on a chilly day, or simply enjoy dining in. It has a cozy, homey feel and adds a fantastic dining option to this area. read more

Tried out this teeny Thai restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. It can accommodate 20 people, tops. The staff were lovely. They have not one but two lunch specials- one with two courses and one with three. My wife had the salad, which was one of her favorites. I had the excellent chicken and shrimp dumplings. For mains, my wife gave 2 thumbs up to the chicken with cashew nuts. I loved the creamy shrimp Tom Yum soup. The portions were generous. I scarfed down a potent Thai iced coffee. Prices are amazingly reasonable. This place has vaulted to the top of our Thai restaurant hierarchy. Highly recommended! read more

I went with friend for lunch on 5/20/26. I had a chicken rice dish which was bland and had very few vegetables. Chicken portion - was the size of sugar cube about 1 inch each and I counted maybe 8 pieces total. Vegetables total - 1/8 slice of zucchini, 2 cherry tomatoes sliced in half, broccoli rabe 4 small slices 1 inch, 1/4 slice of lime. Furthermore, they were very generous with the rice though. The dish was mostly rice. I had the curry puffs appetizer and a glass of wine too. I've eaten at this restaurant several times last year in 2025, the food was good and portions of meat/ veggies was generous. However, this year they changed the menu and the portions of meat/veggies are much less. But the price has gone up! Very displeased with the food. I know the cost of produce/meats has gone up, but that's no excuse for restaurants to scale back on portions and raise prices to consumers. For the cost of $72.00 and tip, I would of expected better quality and quantity of food. I will not be eating there again. The service was just ok. read more

The food here is stupid good. The kind of good that ruins other restaurants for you.

Walking by after work and it looked like a cute spot so I stopped. I tried the crispy tofu salad and it was yummy and healthy. For dessert, I tried the mango sticky rice per the lady's suggestion.

The place is very small, but they do have seats inside. It really seems that many of the local people that came in got their food to go. The shrimp drunken noodles was really delicious, and the curry appetizer with potatoes and roti, was the best! The service was decent and they had decorations, cute ambience. They were able to seat a large table. I ended up ordering food to go as well. I definitely would recommend this place for solid Thai food. read more

We regularly order from Bangrak but today we decided to come in person. The food was spectacular, as usual. It's also nice that they added a 3-course lunch special for the weekends ($22).

I went to Bangrak Thai for the first time yesterday for lunch and I'll definitely be back! It's a small restaurant and there were a few people dining but they could accommodate us right away. They have a lunch special (I believe it's seven days a week) and the staff were very hospitable. The lunch special is advertised as $14 for several dishes. For $14 you get an entree and an appetizer such as spring rolls, chicken and shrimp dumplings or tofu soup. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken (maybe the chicken is $1 extra, as it was $15 on the receipt) and I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($5) which was very good! Sometimes I find Thai iced tea to be cloyingly sweet, but not this one! I was very glad! I'm happy to have found this Thai restaurant. read more

Ambiance (3/5): The restaurant is super cute but TIGHT. It can only accommodate under 20 guests. Be sure to set a reservation in advance. We were a party of 5 and squeezed into a corner with hardly enough room to raise your arms. Service (4/5): Due to the small number of available parties, we were helped quickly and often. The establishment is also BYOB! Food: The price point compared to the portion is worth giving this place a try. Massaman Curry w Roti (Starter) (5/5): The roti pieces were thin and crunchy. I could have easily just eaten the roti for a meal because they were that good. The curry had spice, depth, and thickness. It had a generous portion of sliced chicken breast. Red Curry (3/5): Compared to the Massaman, the red curry lacked creaminess and was not as spicy or flavorful. There was definitely enough to last for another meal. Pad Kee Mao (3/5): While the overall taste was good, it didn't stand out very much to me. read more

I feel like this place has quietly become the best Thai restaurant on the Upper East Side. You can find all the usual suspects on the menu, but also some more unique dishes like Khao Soy, Sai Oua, Guay Teow Geang, and Gra Prao Moo Grob. They also have a lot of seafood options! The service is outstanding! The food generally comes very fast and the servers are quite friendly. It's a small place so get here early if you plan to come for dinner. read more

This place is great. Solid Thai spot. Had the green curry with chicken and the pad see ew with tofu and spring rolls to start. All three were good. The restaurant was super cute inside, but I think this place probably does more takeout since it was super small. But totally recommend you go check it out in person! Oh, and the Thai tea hit the spot. read more

Tiny place. Went late for lunch so almost empty and quiet. Excellent food . Good value lunch special

4.5 Stars. With so many thai options in the upper east side, it's really hard to pick a favorite. Yet this may be my favorite. I've gotten the Khoi soy beef and chicken. The broth is the most flavorful of the ones I've tried on the UES and the meat is tender and also very well seasoned. Highly recommend if you're looking to try another UES thai spot. read more

Takeout for a lazy night Thai fried rice - very fragrant. I got mixed vegetables and was pleasantly surprised. There was a nice variety of veggies. I also enjoyed that a good portion of it was veggies and it wasn't just rice with 3 pieces of vegetable. Coconut crispy shrimp was standard. I was craving a crunch and it satisfied that but I didn't really taste the coconut. The khao Soi gai is a northern style curry and tastes amazing after adding lime. Chicken is very tender and the curry has a unique creamy flavor. Pad Woon Sen Goong was very flavorful sautéed glass noodles. A good amount of vegetables and a few shrimp. I would get all of these dishes again. Like all restaurants now though, it is somewhat pricey and the portions are much smaller. read more

I love ordering from Bangrak. The portion is pretty big and I just their lunch special. Their lunch special comes with one side and you can choose from salad, spring roll, dumpling, and soup.

The interior is very small but not too busy. The server was very kind and came over frequently. I ordered the khao soy gai. There are two very big pieces of chicken in the soup. The soup flavor and spiciness was just right for me. Everything tasted very good but I just thought that the ratio of chicken to noodle was absurd! There's an entire breast and leg in the soup. Overall, the chicken was well prepared, although there was a small part that tasted dry. I think this place is great just for the size and coziness alone. read more

New Thai restaurant on the UES. The interior is very inviting and cozy - tropical themed which is fun! Tables are well spaced out given the narrow set up. My boyfriend and I came for dinner on the weekend and got the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and then I got the beef pad thai. I thought my pad thai was a little dry (not enough sauce) but the beef was tasty. I liked my boyfriend's dish more - the pad see ew - it was very moist, super soft and tender beef, and the Chinese broccoli cooked very well, too. As of now, there is no alcohol served so you can just bring your own alcohol. The service was friendly. I would come back to try other dishes - not my favorite pad thai of all time if I had to be completely honest! read more

Bangrak is really really reliable! I have gotten takeout from here multiple times and it always gets my urge for takeout Thai! The pad see ew and kra new are always my go to! Every single time they have been great and even during takeout they are always extremely warm by the time I go and grab it and get back to my apartment ready to eat! All the workers are really nice and service is quick! The atmosphere is very vibrant and a great cute small place to enjoy a good Thai meal!

New Thai Spot in the UES!! I love Thai food so much and so happy to see and try a new spot in the neighborhood! Bangrak is sooo cute - how can you pass up a bright pink restaurant?! I got to try a handful of dishes and was so happily satisfied! All the dishes I tried were delicious: Panang curry with chicken, Shrimps Creamy Tom Yum, and Pad Kee Mao with Pork. I don't usually order the soup but asked what I should get and this was recommended, I was soooo impressed when I tried it as the flavor was so good and I will definitely get this soup again! Also the Thai iced tea hit the spot!! I'll for sure be back here! Ps this place is BYOB as there is no alcohol served but open to bring your own! read more

Small. Cute. Delicious. Well priced. Quick! Wow. The decor in this place is cute, and the vibe is laid back. Came here on a Friday evening at dinner time and found that the place was empty. Based on the other positive reviews, this didn't deter us at all. Our server was perfectly attentive, and kind. All of our food was perfectly hot. Not melt your face off blazing hot, and not just warm. Truly Goldy Locks levels of hot. We got the coconut shrimp to start. Crispy, and tender. The sauce was sweet and just a touch spicy, with soft pepper flakes. I tried my hardest to get every bit of sauce out of that little dish. My partner got the Gra Prao Moo Grob. I've never seen this on the menu at a Thai restaurant before, but I will forevermore look for it. The pieces of meat were perfectly crispy, and I loved using their chili oil. You could use a good amount and have the heat build without burning your tongue off. I got the pad kee mao with tofu and although I'm not typically drawn to this dish, I was really happy with it. Keep in mind that you can ask them for a specific heat level. We asked for medium heat on our dishes and I felt like it was a true middle ground. Would definitely come back again. read more
