    Supposedly Mango Sticky Rice
    Julie P.

    Went in to have dinner, cozy spot , nothing fancy. We ordered duck noodle soup, pork boat soup. Shrimp thai fried rice, thai iced tea, a beer and mango sticky rice. . Soups were very sweet, the broth tasted stale. Shrimp rice was ok, lacked the typical thai flavor. We never received the thai iced tea, the host/ waitress was awful. We asked for hot sauce, she brought some out in a jar and while we were eating came and took it away. She insisted in giving a beer I didn't want and brought the check 15 mins before bringing dessert. While still drinking the beer she came and took the glass, attempting to pour out the remaining contents and ended up spilling it. I would not recommend nor return. Not worth it.

    Very nice! Living nearby, we get lunch from here often. Small, cozy neighborhood place with good food and friendly staff. We usually get drunken noodles, or fried rice and mango sticky rice to finish.

    Massaman Curry with tofu

    Great food! Great service. I had the pineapple fried rice with veggies and the massaman curry with tofu. Both were fantastic! The $12 lunch deal is even on Sundays.

    Tiny, clean, simple space. Not suitable for parties larger than 4. The whole restaurant seats 14ish people at most. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Dropped by for lunch. The lunch special (noodles/rice dish with a side of a spring roll/dumpling/soup) portion was small, so I decided to order the regular $15 beef drunken noodle portion. Sad to say that the portion was small. The sauce was watery. The dish was too mild even for me, someone who does not like spice. But I did not even ask to make this dish mild. Exactly two tiny slices of carrot and bell pepper. Mostly noodles, barely any protein or veggies.

    Drunken Noodle lunch special, not so special
    Jessi L.

    Lunch special drunken noodle $12. Not worth it. Super small portion and holy salt! Ridiculously salty! No utensils even though I asked for it. Plus the delivery guy was supposed to come to the reception area, he didn't even come in the building.

    Lauren C.

    Had the lunch special and it was a great amount of food and affordable. Pad Thai w chicken , i loved. Crab rangoon was so yummy especially with the sweet chili sauce. Shrimp n chicken dumplings fried were sooo good. Chicken thai rice was so yummy n flavorful. Would go again

    Duck Noodle Soup
    Carlos D.

    Wonder around this area with my friend and we decided to check Kare Thai out. The restaurant is small, good for a group of 4 or less. The hostess was really sweet and was attentive to us. For appetizer we did the popcorn shrimp and the dumplings. The dumplings were really good, the popcorn shrimp was good as well, but I felt like it should've had a bit lesser breading. For entree I had the Duck Noodle Soup and it was amazing. The duck and noodles were delicious as well as the broth. It was smooth and not salty. I definitely would recommend this soup. Overall, great food and experience, a small hidden gem away from the nearby touristy area. I also recommend trying out the thai iced tea!

    Crab Meat Fried Rice Special
    Michael T.

    Delicious fried rice with real crab meat and a smooth buttery taste. can't go wrong with this dish! great service too. thanks.

    Chicken Pad Thai Noodle Lunch Special
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed having lunch from here! I started off with the chicken pad thai with spring rolls, my usual go-to. The drunken noodles with tofu were delicious and the shrimp and chicken dumplings were delicious as well! They have a very extensive lunch menu selection available. The portions were probably a touch smaller than some other spots I've been too, but there was a generous amount of protein and veggies in both the dishes.

    Drunken Noodle
    Paige A.

    The drunken noodles are delicious!! You also really can't go wrong with the pad Thai, too good! I got takeout so I can't speak for the dining experience, but my food was delivered hot & quickly! Very pleased!

    Came here after I saw the sign for happy hours on my way from work. $8 for 2 Singha? Sure. I like it! Atmosphere: small but clean and cozy. Service: The owner(?)/waitress wasn't that friendly unfortunately. Wasn't really able to tell me much about their dishes either. Food: Overall was o...k.... -- Beef in beef salad was so rubbery and over seasoned. Not too much vegetables either. -- Chicken satay was also not too impressive. Oh....too much curry powder on it. Will I come back? Provably not :/ I'd rather pay for the full price for drinks and get better quality Thai food.

    The staff is friendly I don't know her name but she is very helpful. I went there on Sunday afternoon not busy. The food is good, oh and they have lunch every day

    Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

    first time trying chinese halal food and it did not disappoint!…read more had a mix of more common chinese dishes and uyghur dishes. got several of the popular noodle dishes and the bun. all were very flavorful!! service was fast. the portions were a bit smaller than I would've liked but still fairly filling. overall quite good and a good regular spot in murray hill.

    OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't…read morewalk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

Save room for dessert for the huge shaved ice in all sorts of flavors. We had to wait for our whole party to arrive before we were seated. After that, the service was really fast and helpful. It's not a huge place, they have a mix of small tables, one or two larger tables, some booths and counter seating.

    Is it Japan? No, you're in NYC. But is it good enough? Absolutely. Just expect to pay NYC prices…read more My biggest recommendation: stick to the classic ramen. I usually order spicy ramen at most ramen spots, so that's what I went with my first time here. Big mistake. The spicy ramen really takes away from the depth of flavor. If you actually want to appreciate the broth, the classic ramen is the way to go. You can always add spicy oil yourself. A few things could definitely be improved. For an upscale ramen spot in the heart of NYC, I was surprised the tap water was straight-up lukewarm. Nobody wants lukewarm water after eating a piping-hot bowl of ramen. I'd also avoid the bar seating if you can. The seats aren't very comfortable, especially if your back tends to get tight from sitting hunched over. Another small but surprisingly annoying issue is the front door, it doesn't have a slow-close mechanism, so it's constantly slamming shut. Depending on where you're sitting, it can get pretty loud and distracting while you're trying to eat. On the positive side, the service was great. The staff was attentive, and the food came out incredibly quickly after ordering, which I really appreciated. The ambiance definitely fits the upscale NYC ramen vibe without feeling overly fancy. You don't need to dress up, casual clothes are completely fine. I'll definitely be back, classic ramen next time, no question.
