Glur is the best Thai food in NYC. That is all. The food quality, spices, flavors, and presentation are so head and shoulders above any other Thai food in the city. It's a gustatory revelation. read more

The restaurant has amazing food, and great service! The menu has a good selection of vegan dishes. I highly recommend it.

Delicious food and great service! We got there early ~5:30pm and did walk-in :) our third member of the party came really late but the staff let us sit and order drinks at our table while we waited. They were super attentive the whole time. Loved the green curry (medium wasn't too spicy). read more

Glur - Green Curry (Squid) - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

This small Thai spot packed a big punch. The red curry was truly one of the best I have had, a perfectly light flavor with good spice, and a generous portion. If I had gotten this as takeout it would be a 5 star night for me. We also ordered the veggie spring rolls, which came out piping hot and crispy, as nature intended. In this case, I have to remove two stars for a few reasons. 1) the timing of our service was a bit odd. We were a group of 6, and our food came out by twos in 5 minute increments, meaning the last two in our group were waiting 10 minutes for their dishes while everyone else ate. 2) a few in our party got the duck with their meals, and the level of done-ness was inconsistent. While one persons seemed to be well cooked and even a bit moist, another persons was over cooked, dry and leathery. Definitely think this place is still worth a visit, or for takeout, would just say that an order of the duck is a risk. read more

Had amazing everything!! I think the best pad see ew I've ever had. Was only in New York for a few days and visited here twice. Will definitely come back again if I'm ever visiting again! read more

THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING! But my rating is based on the service, which might have been some of the worst I've experienced at any restaurant. Now that indoor dining is closed, they have a small tent outdoors with 2 heaters, one of which that doesn't work. Regardless, we decided to sit there and enjoy a meal. Our server, Brittany, from the start was a bit rude about the heat and questioned our dog (which is usually never a problem when outdoor dining). Once we sat, she brought us water. We kindly asked if we could have warm water since it's freezing out, and she rudely declined. After asking her 3 times and her saying "we don't have hot water, only tea, $3" she finally agreed. She was unhelpful and unkind while we ordered, and then when she brought out the curry it had a lid which she took away. We asked if we could keep it on since the curry would get cold if not, and she asked if I would BREAK it! I said no, and she said "sure?" 5 times and said I can't break it since it's imported from Thailand. It's ridiculous to be asked not to break cutlery when being served at a restaurant, do they expect us to eat off our hands? Eventually she hesitantly gave us the lid, but next time I'll just order in to avoid the bad service. -Navya J @nyconthetable read more

Had such a lovely experience at Glur. Lunch was amazing and the staff was super friendly. I started off with a Thai Iced Coffee, which I've never heard of or had before. It was good! Maybe a bit sweet but I definitely enjoyed it and I usually drink my coffee black. For starters, we had chicken satay and veggie spring rolls. Both were very good. As far as entrees, we ordered beef pad see ew, tom yum fried rice, and the pork chop. I LOVE tom yum soup and the fried rice had shrimps and squid in it and you could just taste the tom yum flavor! The noodles were amazing and the pork chop was good (a bit tough but super flavorful! loved the glaze). Ended off with a Thai coconut custard, which I've also never had before, and it was very different and interesting but I loved it! The best part about this place is that they offer a LOT of vegan options. They do not use any dairy at all and actually use oat milk instead. read more

With so many thai restaurants in the city, Glur Thai ranks more of a 3.5 for me. Everything tasted good but nothing truly stood out. The pad thai was tart and flavorful. The tom kha was definitely on the sweet side and the mushrooms were not fully cooked through. The green curry was not as flavorful as i expected. Service was ok, not over baring. However, the space is very small so you will be sitting very close to others. read more

Glur Thai is a fantastic restaurant with great Vegan options in the Chelsea area. I went there for lunch with a few friends and we all had a pleasant experience and loved the food. I ordered the Chicken Katsu and thought it was great. The portion size was perfect as well as I was given my entree with rice as well as a soupy dish on the side. We got the Vegan curry puffs as well for the group and they were a hit. I would highly recommend this appetizer if eating here with a group. I will most likely order them again when I go back! Overall this place is great and a solid option for whenever there is a vegan in the group. I will be back! read more

I always love Thai food. This is alright. Fancy and fun. Service is good too. Want to be here to try other foods next time.

Our group of 4 decided to drop in on a Tuesday night and there was still a 15 min wait. This place is fairly small and located in a seemingly random location without any other restaurants around. I decided to deviate from the normal curry and noodle options and ordered the gra prow kai dow which is minced chicken, string beans, basil sauce, chili garlic puree, and fried egg. This was a chef's special on the menu that I thought was absolutely delicious. A nice bonus was that the special includes jasmine rice. The fried egg is actually runny on the inside and the minced chicken has tons of flavor especially with the basil. The portion size was larger than expected and I thought this dish was a huge success. read more

Awesome Thai Food in a very cozy (err tight) location. The food's worth it all. I went here with a friend for lunch. I thought ahead a bit to make a reservation, which was smart given the very limited space indoors for eating. (pro tip!) Maybe 15 people at max and a few barstool seating. It's really cramped. Once you forget about that, you get to the important part - the food. We got the lunch special which ends up being a solid deal. One appetizer and a main course. I got the spring roll and the tofu pad thai. At first, people might wonder why I'd settle for the pad thai. Reason was that the waiter actually recommended it to me (yea I did a double take). But honestly it was so good. Not the stereotypical pad thai either. All for $15/person, not a bad deal. Other thing I recommend is the vegan white wine. Never heard of vegan wine, but it was actually pretty damn good. Worth a try if you want a drink with your lunch. read more

Man, this place is good. And as a vegetarian who loves Thai food, a restaurant that doesn't use fish sauce is a dream come true. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wow- I finally got to eat here and it is special. Mobbed at lunch and offering some vegan options without an additional app like at some restaurants at lunch. Ate: Edamame Shrimp eggplant Brown rice Right away you notice the edamame are perfectly steamed not mushy. The shrimp eggplant tasted super clean not like some Thai sauces taste gloppy. Will definitely try more at quieter hours. read more

This place just opened up, so they're trying really hard to impress and build a loyal customer base. When we came in at 7:45pm on a Thursday without reservations, we were lucky to get a table that just opened up. The small seating area [fits no more than 15-20 people], remained busy throughout the night. Very casual restaurant. Bare, brick walls, minimalistic décor, no frills. The service was the best part of our experience. Just like everyone on Yelp mentioned, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We specified to ensure that our dishes have zero spice, as we are white and can't handle that. However, our appetizer was spicy. The manager, who is out in the dining area, constantly checking in on customers to ensure a perfect experience, apologized profusely, and a new dish, without spices was brought out to us quickly. The prices are reasonable and portions are filling. For an appetizer we got lab gai $11 minced chicken with cilantro, red onions, and chili lime juice, on a lettuce leaf, which was tender and light. Perfect for anyone wanting a lighter meal for the night. Nothing extraordinarily crazy in terms of flavor, so don't expect to be mind blown. We got $15 beef pad med mamuang and $15 squid pad makua for mains. Both dishes are sauted, and served with a bowl of white rice, which we didn't touch. The beef and squid were in good proportion to the veggies. The sauces were not greasy, but on the lighter side. Pad Makua was our favorite, as it had a wider array of veggies and the purple egg plant was sauted to perfection. Appreciated how we were not rushed to leave right after finishing our meal. We took our time chatting and it felt nice to be welcome in a restaurant even after we paid the check. Overall, a simple, inexpensive, no-frills place with good service that is worth returning to. read more

Delicious! Welcome to the hood! Ordered delivery from here on a rainy night, and gobbled up two awesome dishes: one is the minced chicken-and-egg-and-jasmine-rice entree, and the other is the fried chicken-on-ginger-rice. Both were so tasty and fresh, with the minced chicken one being especially good. The ginger rice is incredible, the egg is runny. 5 stars!!!! read more

Amazing authentic Thai food. We loved all of their dishes. My two favorites are Pad Kee Moa with seafood and Tom Yum Fried Rice. Pad Kee Moa has nice charred texture with generous seafood, great for sharing. We loved it so much we ordered another one to-go with extra noodles ($3). Tom yum fried rice was divinely flavorful. For dessert, I recommend Khanom Tuay (2 cups for $6) was fresh and hot, thai steamed coconut pudding (top layer is coconut milk). The restaurant is small with about 20 seats, we had 6 people and called to make our reservation in advance. Our server was very attentive and friendly (brought us fresh chili and lime, refilled water constantly). I also met Glur, the owner. He was very friendly. He paid attention to detail for his Restaurant sign (the letters are also in Thai when you flip them). The plates, bowls, and cups are from Thailand. We will be back often! read more

I found this place through Yelp because of the great reviews, but had never heard of it before. It's a super hole in the wall establishment. Very small and limited seating, but the food was great.

Glur - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Pretty solid Thai food...depending on what you order. I've ordered a bunch of different dishes from the menu over the last few weeks and some have been great but there are definitely a few misses as well. They do a generally good job with delivery - arrives on time and they've never forgotten anything in the order, even when we've placed as a large group. They tend to respect requested spice levels well. In my personal experience, the good dishes are the noodles and the curries. The massaman is particularly delicious, which is saying something because it's not usually my favorite dish. Green curry is also good (not on par with Thai Villa's in my opinion, but good). Pad Thai is always a big hit. Skip the stir fry dishes; i ordered one a few days ago and it wasn't bad, just a little bit lacking in flavor. It also tasted a little bit like it was made in a dirty pan - like it had a faint taste of burnt oil. Calamari was a little gummy, and the som tum salad was bland as well, although I may order it again at some point and request it spicy to see if it's any better. Prices are good and it's been 25 percent off on seamless for dinner recently although I'm sure that's just because it's newer. Would order again! read more

Glur Thai is a gorgeous little Thai restaurant in Chelsea right next to a fire station, and the food and service is authentic and friendly. The prices are reasonable as well (paid under $70 for 2, including tax + tip). ORDER: The curry puff is great and comes with 3, and we loved the papaya salad & Massaman Curry + half duck (add'l $11 but very worth it). Will be back to try more. FYI: We asked the waitress what "Glur" is, and it means Friendship in Thai! Support your fave local restaurants :) read more

So first the restaurant was smaller than we thought, seats about 15 people. We were seated by the door, so even though there was a barrier between us the gust of cold wind would still fill the restaurant everytime the door would open. We asked if the heater could be turned up more which they were happy to help us with, since my dad was still cold, he wouldn't take off his jacket. The food was pretty good. We ordered calamari and dumplings for the table. The crab fried rice was also good as well as their pad see ew. We didn't wait for too long for the food to arrive. Our waitress would come by to refill our water and check on us from time to time. read more

Oh Thai food the key to my heart on days when I can't figure out what to eat. I was happy to find this little gem right across the street from a JI. The service was fast and amazing which makes my hungry belly super happy. They didn't have an issue with my order and my allergies, which is always a plus. I must say I order the Thai fried rice and it didn't let me down. Seasoned well and just full of flavor I had the veggie version. The portion size was perfect. They offer recyclable containers for your extras and they have a gender neutral bathroom. I def recommend trying them out. read more

I was super skeptical about the reviews saying this was the best Thai in the city or that the crab fried rice was the best they'd ever had. Well I have to agree, this is now one of my top Thai spots in the city. Some mentioned the food was a little sweet, I do think the style here is more sweetened than other Thai places but I think it's still very flavorful. We had basic staples (pad Thai, pad se eew, and crab fried rice). All were super good. Will definitely be back to try the curry dishes. Btw - small seating area with less than 20ish seats so be prepared to wait unless you made a reservation! read more

If you like traditional Thai or quality ingredients, this is not the place. I'll give it two stars for effort but we all agreed this just wasn't it.

It was several of us who ate their Thai food and we all agreed it needed to be tweaked. read more

[dine-in] HOLY SMOKES - I was so blown away. The flavor was so on point, I wouldn't have known there wasn't fish sauce if I didn't read about it beforehand. I've also been to other Thai places that didn't use fish sauce and this is next level. Park mor - yummy. I haven't had this before, and it was like a rice roll with sweet and savory peanuts. Small portion Pad thai with daring chicken - wowowowow this one tasted just like any regular ol' (yummy) chicken pad thai. Wouldn't be able to tell in a blind taste test Penang curry with mock duck - also delicious, the mock duck was certainly mock but it's fine Pad grapow with vegetables - this one was not great. Watery, didn't taste like other pad gra pows. I was so impressed by the rest of the meal, this one paled in comparison. Would not recommend This is definitely going in the rotation whenever a vegetarian/vegan friend is in town. I would also go here regardless! The dishes are less spicy than other Thai restaurants in my opinion (I'd say their spicy is less spicy than other places' medium) and the dishes are on the smaller side. read more

Amazing Thai food! I love that Glur Thai has a lot of options available for vegetarians. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the mock duck but it was a great texture and tasted good as well! The pad kee mao is a must-have for sure though! Their outdoor seating is nice as well! We went on a pretty cold day and the seating is pretty well shut from the wind and they have heaters that you can adjust as well! read more

Glur Thai is not a household name, not even among the foodies of New York's dining scene, but there is a coterie of devoted lovers of Thai food who have Glur on speed dial, or at least, their ordering page bookmarked on their phone, and the love they received on this very page landed them on Yelp's top 100 list this year. Admittedly I didn't love my most recent order of pad kee mao that lacked the breath of the wok flavor I seek and had a piece of shrimp whose freshness was questionable, but it is pandemic times and my first meal there left such an impression on me that I'd chalk it up to an anomaly pandemic experience and that their more unique menu items make them worth paying a visit to. Glur's claim to [niche] fame is that they don't use fish sauce in any of their dishes, so their vegan/vegetarian dishes are truly vegetarian. Fish sauce is one of my favorite condiments, so I thought I'd miss it, but the dishes I had in my first visit were plenty flavorful without it. I enjoyed the sweet peanut dumplings called Park mor, their papaya salad, a glass noodle shrimp dish served in a clay pot, and their crab fried rice, which was my favorite of the dishes I tried. I even the most hackneyed of all Thai dishes, pad thai, deeply satisfying. I ordered food to go on a recent blustery winter night, but waited for my food inside their heated outdoor tent which was empty at the time. It's a no frills set up for when you want to eat your food at their restaurant while indoor dining isn't an option, and the husband wife duo who own and operate the restaurant are some of the nicest people around. read more

Excellent Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) can be found at Glur! Also tried the tamarind duck with moist meat and skin that stayed crispy with the sauce, a tad too sweet, given on the side. Located on a Chelsea side street, Glur is small but big on pleasing decor and comfortable outdoor/indoor seating. Super friendly staff. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night after watching a movie nearby. It is a pretty small place but I was seated at the bar. It was soon packed after I was seated but they also have outdoor seating. I had tried here once before through delivery. I appreciate all of the vegetarian and vegan options since it can accomodate anyone's dietary preferences. All of the food I ordered picture below was delicious. I will say that I thought the pad see ew was slightly too salty but wash it down with some water or thai iced tea.

I came here a weeks back with a friend to try some of their food out and my experience overall was pretty okay. It's a pretty small space, with not a lot of tables inside and a couple of tables outside. I wish I came on a different day because it seemed that they were in the middle of a photo shoot for new menu items. It wouldn't have been a big deal, if it wasn't such a challenge getting our waitresses' attention from time to time because we were sitting outside and they were all inside. The food we ordered was the duck Tamarind, the Massam curry, and the shrimp pad Thai.The duck was fairly good overall, but I wish it were a bit juicier. I also liked the curry, nice and flavorful, but the potatoes inside were a bit undercooked because they were still pretty hard. The pad Thai was good but I feel like you can never go wrong with that order. Overall the food was pretty good and the staff here are quite friendly hence the four stars, they just weren't the most attentive that day. read more

Glur Thai is a vegan Thai restaurant in the Flatiron area. They serve great vegan and non vegan food options. We enjoyed the Thai Ice Tea, Chicken curry puff, Crispy Duck in Noodle Soup, and the Pad Kee Moa. For dessert: Kao Tom mud- Thai sweet banana with sticky rice. The Thai Ice tea is strong and flavorful. I enjoyed it more than the Thai Coffee. The Chicken curry puff had a flakey buttery crust with fluffy curry chicken inside. The Fried Tofu was crispy and good. The Crispy Duck Noodle soup was amazing! The duck skin was so crunchy and the soup was a little sweet with cinnamon. It went well with the duck. The Pad Kee Moa was great! Broad noodles with a little spice and lots of shrimp. The dessert was so unique and delicious. Perfectly sticky soft rice with sweet Thai banana. I would definitely reorder the chicken curry puff, the duck soup, pad kee moa and the kao tom mud read more

The food was fantastic. Very fresh. Some of the best Thai I've had. The service takes a while but it's worth it.

My love and I spent the day in NYC attending a book fair. We walked a lot, got there early and were pretty darn hungry by the time we were done. In the mood for Thai food, we did an online search of the area and Glur Thai came up first, and as vegan friendly, so we took the chance. After a quick walk, we got there and were seated in the tiny dining area where painful American pop music wafted through the air. The menu was vegan friendly with many adaptable dishes. The service was good and our waitress was attentive. Collectively we ordered the Tom Yum Soup with Tofu, Pad Thai without egg and with "Vegetarian Duck", as well as Pad Makua with Tofu. The soup came first, piping hot, though lacking many ingredients. The equivalent of a sliced mushroom and maybe 8 cubes of tofu. The broth, however, was very good. The Pad Thai was the least favorite of the dishes, very thick with sauce and sweet. I'm not sure what black tofu is supposed to be, but the tofu which was in the Pad Thai, looked and tasted like any other plain, cubed, soy tofu I've ever had. The "Vegetarian Duck" had no flavor distinguishing itself from any generic glutinous vegan chicken. The Pad Mukua was delicious. We both enjoyed it very much. In the end for what we got compared to what was advertised on the menu, we were generally disappointed, particularly with a meal that comes with a relatively hefty price. Would we go back to Glur Thai? Probably not. read more
