The food itself tasted great, not overdone or heavy, and portions were just right. The Thai iced tea especially hit the mark. Water was filled quickly. Only real downside was the noise situation. There seemed to be a birthday celebration every 10 minutes, and each one came with the same loud music blast and the same birthday song on repeat. It kind of breaks the flow of the meal after a while. Once in a bit is fine, but it felt like it was on a loop. Limit it to 1 hour minimum between celebrations.

I often opt for the same dishes every time I go to a Thai restaurant, so my friend and I decided we…read morewere going to diverge from our usuals and try something new - and honestly 0 regrets because they were all SO good with solid service and a vibrant interior. Okay so I couldn't give up my papaya salad, so we ordered the tum thai kai kem, and then we got the isan chicken rolls and mama e-la noodles. Honestly, I've never had anything like the isan chicken rolls, but I was genuinely obsessed with the crispy yet thin crust wrapping around the most succulent and savory filling. And the tamarind dipping sauce was, truly, a match made in heaven 100/10. The mama e-la noodles were this stir-fried noodle dish slightly reminiscent of pad see ew but with marinated brisket and curly noodles. I'll be going back fosho to try more of their dishes and would definitely recommend anyone else who likes Thai food to check them out (and try the chicken rolls + mama e-la noodles)!!

Came on a Saturday with a resy for 2 at 6pm. We were lucky to be seated in the side room as the…read moremain dining room was quite noisy with loud music. We got - Papaya Salad: crunchy, spicy can't go wrong. Enjoyed the addition of the salty duck egg, it added a creaminess - Wing Zaab: wings could have been a tad crispier. The spices on the wings really made it flavorful - Kaw Moo Yang: delicious & tender. Good ratio of fat to meat. - Crying Tiger: tasty, tender and nicely medium rare - Isan Crab Rice: least memorable. If it wasn't for the sauces the rice didn't have much taste. Overall, a solid thai spot. Happy to try but nothing outstanding.

We were warmly greeted by the host and our table was ready for us as soon as we checked in. It was my first time here and loved the ambiance of the tastefully decorated restaurant. At the table there was a hand signed card congratulating our anniversary, which was a nice gesture. We both ordered a cocktail to start, which were pretty unique. For dinner we got the uni crab tartlets, citrus salad, lobster, pork jowl, and chicken thighs which were all delicious. We got the coconut cake dessert and the staff gave us a complimentary ice cream for our anniversary. Overall I was happy with the food and service received and definitely will be back to try the tasting menu next time.

I've had the pleasure of eating from here twice (kinda) and I can say I'm a fan (kinda). The first…read moretime was when my gf came home with leftovers to one of the most delicious steaks I've ever had. I truly would've never considered to get steak from a Thai spot but here I am craving more. The second time was unfortunately on a busy Friday night and you can tell the high foot traffic was at the cost of the food quality. The food was a little more cold on arrival and the meats were a little more dry. I have full faith that if they had the time, love and care would go into them but I guess business is business. So my advice: don't go during peak hours. We had the massaman curry, pad thai, crab fried rice, and steak with crispy noodles. For appetizers we got the recommended curry pancakes, yum apple, chicken labb, and the crispy pork belly. Of those that stood out as living up to the praise Pranakhan gets is the Steak, Yum Apple, and Crispy Pork. The rest were standard fair. Again, I'm sure it's because of the time of dining. Also we got seated at 9 if that makes a difference. The apple and thai sauce pairing was the biggest surprise delight. And yeah service was great. Overall pretty good to ok experience. Would come again but maybe during the week.

Husband and I were looking for a quick bite before heading to our son's concert. Grandpa Thai caught our attention on Yelp search but it was in the opposite direction. The interior was quite spacious, with a semi-open large kitchen. After sitting down, we told our waitress that we were in a mad rush. She said that any stir-fry could be churned out within a few minutes, and recommended noodles or fried rice. We ordered vegetarian Pad Kee Mao (spicy drunken noodles) and Basil Fried Rice. Sure enough both dishes turned up within a few minutes. The portions were much bigger than we expected - well, no matter, we were hungry! And both dishes tasted fresh, flavorful, authentic and satisfying, with our votes leaning a bit more towards Pad Kee Mao :-). When the waitress mentioned "Tofu" we thought we'd get the usual cubes, but their version was the more fluffy Tofu puff. The menu is bilingual in English and Hong Kong Chinese, to which our Thai waitress explained that it was due to the cultural combination of the owners: one partner is Thai while the other Chinese. Quite a lucky find in the busy area of NYU, the Strand, and Washington Square!

I had high hopes for Grandpa Thai, but was sadly disappointed. The restaurant had an odd…read moreatmosphere where half of the space looked like a fancy takeout counter and the other half offered a casual, sit-down experience. We were immediately shown to a booth and scanned the QR code to pull up the menu. As we perused it, the waitress dropped off what looked like a personal, plastic water bottle for the table. It had cute stickers on it, but was like nothing we had ever been given before at a restaurant. Regardless, the water was so crisp and refreshing that we all commented on how good it was. After we placed our orders in the slowly emptying restaurant on a late weeknight evening, we wound up waiting an extremely long time for what should have been our quickly-prepared meals. Once they finally arrived, my Pad See Ew with Chicken was garlicky and flavorful, but extremely salty and oily. The included poultry was rubbery and not high-quality. I actually think it might have been thigh meat, as that had been referenced on some other menu items. My friends had both ordered the Stir-Fried Eggplant with Basil and agreed that it was similarly very greasy and full of sodium. The portions were generous, and we all took home close to half of our meals, but I had debated even doing so because of the unhealthy preparation. Overall, Grandpa Thai was mediocre, and we would not be rushing back there.

The vibe inside is dark and intimate with plenty of seating. The waitress was so friendly and offered to run down the menu with us and help us decide what to get. For apps (forgot to capture a pic :( ) we got the Roti Canai, Crispy Calamari and Chicken lettuce wraps. The calamari was literally the best calamari ive ever had.. The batter and seasoning that was dusted on top made it sooo delish! The chicken wrap was also a fan fav. We couldn't get enough. For the mains we ordered the malaysian curry, massaman curry and the Sambal.. Alll the dishes were seasoned so well and you get plenty for the price. I would absolutely go back to Rasa, anytime. Soooo good!

Grilled Chicken - was surprised to see how big the chicken piece was, if you're looking for a cleaner option, try this! Pineapple Fried Rice - was missing acidity from lime and was missing texture, perhaps nuts or bean sprouts would have elevated the dish Chicken Pad Thai - perfect, there were a lot of chicken pieces in it too Nasi Lemak (curried chicken) - great as well, loved the anchovies Would love to try the Malay wings, roti canai and egg noodles next time. I also had to wash my hands and the staff was cleaning the bathroom. The individual cleaning was so nice and accommodated me instead of having me wait.
