This place is one of my favorite Thai restaurants! The consistency is unbeatable. Not once have I visited this establishment and something was off (or not the same) with my order. During this dine in experience, I ordered the Thai tea (not pictured) but absolutely delicious, a prosecco with lychee syrup & lychee fruit on top (not pictured), the chicken wings as an appetizer, the Long Island duck as an entree & the minced spicy ground beef over rice and topped with an egg. This was my second time ordering the chicken wings and I am a fan! Now, they are not the best chicken wings by no means, but they are crispy, juicy, flavorful and surprisingly not messy. The dry seasoning is slightly coarse and similar to the taste of lemon pepper, but better. I am not a fan of lemon pepper wings, but whatever seasoning they have on the exterior resembles the taste slightly. I enjoy that the flavor (although its dry seasoning) does not just stop at the bite you take, but trickles over into the interior of the wing as well. Most times, I taste the flavor of a wing with the first few bites and it misses as your chewing (generally with sauced wings). With these, the flavor remains both after your first bite and while you are chewing. I think these are a great choice as an appetizer. The duck over rice is a personal FAVORITE! I used to come here and only order that with a Thai tea and have recently decided to try more of the food they offer as everything really does look delicious (pictures may not actually do this place justice). Duck is one of my favorite meats, if it's not yours, then maybe I would advise to steer clear, they have a plethora of options on their menu. Spicy minced ground beef over white rice and topped with a fried egg is also unbeatable. Simple, flavorful, spicy (maybe a little too spicy) and is also customizable. Rather than the minced beef, there's a choice for pork and also chicken. I think the flavor of the minced beef is quite phenomenal. My only quirk with this meal is the lack of veggies. I always forget that the duck comes with veggies that would pair perfectly with the minced beef entree. I am sure you can get it on the side, but I always forget until my food comes out and I see the steamed Chinese broccoli on the duck platter. I FINALLY got to try the mango sticky rice for the first time due to mangos now being in season (yayyyy)! I actually asked for more coconut cream sauce to drizzle over the dessert and they gave me extra no questions asked. I had been wanting to try the mango sticky rice for sooo long and although I was stuffed already from my meal, I found a way to make sure I DID NOT leave without trying it. It was good, would get it again, but do not think it is the best mango sticky rice out there! I enjoyed the hot & cold textures of the dessert and that even with the coconut cream sauce (and extra) it was not too sweet. Sweetness level is probably perfection. NOTE: This place gets packed and they do not take reservations. read more

Lan Larb Chiang Mai has a nice cozy setup, but the food ended up being pretty middle of the road. Service was friendly and quick enough, but for a place specializing in Northern Thai, the flavors felt a bit dialed back across the spread. Out of everything ordered, the Kra Pao Moo Grob was the best dish -- crispy pork belly with a solid basil kick and a nice runny egg over rice. The Som Tum had a good sour kick to it, just needed some extra chili heat. I thought the Khao Soi Chiangmai was okay, though the broth leaned pretty sweet and mild instead of packing deep aromatic spice. The Larb Kua Chiangmai was fine too, but could've used more herbs and dry spice to give it flavor. Overall sitting at 3 stars, mostly because half the table was a miss, but it did look pretty. read more

If I could I would rate this a 0. Me and a group of 6 family and friends went in to order in and some others out. For those who ordered out, they were told they could not eat in. Sure, if thats policy so be it, however the manager Paris rudely spoke and escorted some of my family members out, who were paying customers and then bothered them outside, saying they too could not eat outside, after they PAID for the food. As for the food, I've gone to countless of Thai restaurants. This was the worst, which makes matters worse. Not only was service poor but so was the food. The curry puffs had cheese, looked and taste like mozzarella, which ruined the taste and I ordered duck which was not fresh and cooked and brought out rather quick which was a huge concern. The duck too came with broccoli that tasted that it had been cooked from two days before and sitting out. Absolutely never, never again. read more

straight fireeeeee Flavors were on point and the food tasted really authentic. We got the papaya salad, moo ping, braised short rib, pad kee mao, crying tiger, crab fried rice and khao soi. NO NOTES. Only wish they chopped up the lettuce more in the papaya salad and crying tiger. For five hungry girls this was just the right amount of food! Would love to come back! read more

Thai is one of my favorites cuisines, and this is THE best Thai food I've ever eaten. While visiting NY, I found this gem in SoHo. A quick subway trip on the D dropped us off a couple blocks from the very small, quaint restaurant. The service was friendly and warm. The food was flavorful and tasted as good as it looked. The presentation was amazing, and the portion sizes were large, and the prices were beyond reasonable. My partner had the duck. I sampled it--out of this world delicious. I had a Spicy Basil dish and it was equally as memorable. With all these things going for it, one can understand why this joint was jam packed with patrons. read more

Great Northern style Thailand cuisine. Ordered my favorite Khao Soi with beef. Flavorful broth, tasty noodles, good tender beef. About 25 people can be seated and my friend and I didn't have a wait time around 5pm on Saturday (got lucky, one table available). We also ordered curry puffs and fried calamari. Both were excellent. read more

This tiny SoHo spot seriously surprised us! The Mango Whole Fish is one of the best things I've eaten in NYC--crispy, fresh, not greasy at all, and the mango salad on top was perfect. The Boat Noodles are packed with flavor and comfort--braised beef, rich broth, pork skin. Sizzling beef comes out on a hot plate with ribeye chunks and rice--SO good. Great cocktails too--fun names, not too strong, really balanced. Everything was flavorful, authentic, and worth the hype. Definitely coming back! read more

Small and casual environment; great place for a quick bite. Service was also friendly. Giving 3 stars because I thought the food was mid. The beef was too chewy, the apps tasted like they were from frozen, and the most of the meals were just slightly too salty. The pad see ew was good, with a generous portion size and a decent amount of seafood. read more

Back again in Manhattan and I was ready to get some Thai food cause it has been a while. There was this one spot I had found from my pre-planning and it was right in the heart of Soho. On a Friday night it was packed! Luckily since I was a solo dinner I was seated in minutes despite them having a long waitlist. The inside of the restaurant was so colorful and fun and a bit tightly squeezed in space. They also have two other locations, one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn The menu is like 12 pages long with some pictures of the food and drinks. I was definitely overwhelmed lol. I started off with my cocktail which was ginger beer mixed with fruity flavors and ginger beer and it came out fast and was surprisingly underwhelming especially considering there was ginger beer which I like, the taste wasn't really there. I asked the staff for a recommendation on what to get. She recommended Prikking Moogrob and I made sure to mention I wanted it a little less spicy because I just never know with Thai spice and its better to go less spicy then fight the HEAT lol. The dish was essentially crispy pork belly, peppers and beans with a side of rice. The flavor was on point and at first I couldn't even tell it was spicy but as I ate more & more I felt the light burn. All of the staff were incredibly nice. They just chit chatted with me during my dinner and even complimented my bag and were so kind and such sweet. I left literally with my stomach about to burst and it was only about $45 with tip which isn't too bad. If I came again I feel like it would be efficient to go with people who can EAT to get to try a bunch of stuff. $$ Food 8 Atmosphere 8 Service 8 What I got Wai Jai Dai Ga Prikking Moogrob read more

A small Thai place on the edge of Chinatown. We came on Saturday for a later lunch and waited about 10-15 for a table of 3. We ordered the chicken satay which felt a little dry, khao soi which was a good portion and a curry with sticky rice. Service was fast and our server kept refilling our drinks! read more

Work trip and am exploring the local restaurants i felt like some thai food i ordered pad thai tofu and Sai Oua (Chiang Mai Sausage.with a lichee tea. The pad thai was a bit one note and middle of the road I would skip that but the Sai Oua sausage with an order of the sticky rice is one of the best I've ever had spicy with great taste like Thailand in a bite and the thai tea was great as well.

Such a great find! The food was delicious, service was good, and it wasn't a huge restaurant, but it filled in minutes! We went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a Pad See Ew and basil mixed vegetables and tofu with rice. Had I known that the restaurant was northern Thai, I would've tried something new! I will have to go back to try some of their specialty dishes that reflect northern Thai flavors. read more

I have been walking past this place for awhile now. And today I decided to go and try what they have. I order from their lunch specials menu. I got chicken pad see ew. It comes with your choice of side order. I got the tom yum soup. It was tasty. My only comment is that the soup could have been more hot in temperature. The portion was a good size for lunch special. read more

I came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with a group of three people since we were in the neighborhood. This place specializes in Northern Thai cuisine: milder, featuring herbs and vegetables, with influences from Burma and Laos. The place was a bit small but we didn't have to wait for a table. We ordered the roti massaman, the boat noodles, the khao soi noodles, and the pad see ew. The portions were pretty large. The roti was a pass though, the sauce was a bit too watery and not enough roti pieces. The boat noodles were very flavorful and there was a lot of beef shank. Service was very fast and friendly. I would definitely come back! read more

We ordered in, so I can't comment on the ambiance , service, or bathrooms unfortunately. I had the green curry with tofu and my lover had pork fried rice. We both enjoyed, they gave us a lot of food so I could barely finish it when combined with rice! He enjoyed his. The green curry had a rich and buttery texture, very satisfying. The tofu was I think a little overcooked but still good. The peppers were very good. I didn't like the eggplant so I just took it out. Thank you! read more

Had heard some good things about this spot via the internet and happened to pass by and popped in for an impromptu weeknight dinner. Cute and cozy interior, people working here are very sweet! I opted for some sort of crab noodle soup. It was the first time I had seen it and it piqued my interest what can I say. Flavors were a tad more muted than I expected, even considering that it was Northern style. Don't think I'd go out of my way to come here but in a pinch it does the trick! read more

It beats me why some of the best Thai restaurants outside of Elmhurst have all decided to congregate on the northern edge of Chinatown. While Lan Larb unfortunately does not offer a vegetarian version of its signature dish, they do have a sizable vegan menu with excellent other options. We started with the pak mor, as of late my favorite Thai snack and in my opinion the greatest incarnation of the cheong fun family, with a slight bit of crunch and sweetness from the peanut filling. For a main, I had the excellent vegan beef kra pao, which is seasoned heavily with tulsi and gave me a bit of that satisfying dense minced texture I was looking for from larb. read more

Known for their Northern Thai food and Chiang Mai, this restaurant boasts a wide variety of dishes that are delicious and filling! Would recommend their house Khao Soi Chiang Mai, the Prikking Moo Grob (crispy pork belly), and the Pad Prik Sod Moo (tender chicken), although honestly, I can't wait to come back and try all their dishes. Their specialty is Zha Jein, a northern Thai beef tartare that has 3 chili peppers next to it. And it is QUITE spicy, but sooo goood. They recently have 2 cocktails that are absolutely delicious. The Lin-Ping with lychee and black salt is my preferred of the two, and surprisingly not as sweet. It's a small restaurant, so it can be hard to find a table, but it's well worth it. The servers are all so attentive, constantly refilling the water cups and checking in on how we were doing. Note for groups of 6 more, the gratuity is already included. read more

This would have been a five star review except for the fact that we went in late- which caused them to rush us, and the staff waited for us to finish which we get and we had to order ASAP. We got the chicken larb salad, fried calamari, and I asked them what was the spiciest thing on their menu and if they could bring that to me- the beef larb. Flavors were delicious, very authentic and a tribute to Northern Thai cuisine. They had an amazing sticky rice, it came in cute little baskets. Everything was excellent and we hope to come again with more time to enjoy our meal. We also got lychee cocktails to go with everything which were a great palate cleanser. read more

This place was recommended to me by a local, and he set my expectations high, saying it was "the best Thai" of his life. A group of 4 of us decided on coming after a long day of exploring the city, at around 7:30 PM and they gave us an estimated wait time of 15 to 20 minutes. The wait time was very accurate and we were seated within 20 minutes. Such a cute restaurant. They were very busy considering they were also doing online orders, but our food came out very quick. My friends got the green curry (8/10) which was very bright, the red curry (7/10), which lacked some flavor for me, and the eggplant basil (8/10), which had a delicious sauce on it. I got the Gaeng Hoh (6/10), which also lacked some flavor for me. I thought it was going to be spicier, and have a distinct flavor but it fell short for me. We also got the Mango Tango (6/10) which was a little too sweet for me but my friends enjoyed it, and the Ka-sa-long (8/10), which I thought was a perfect drink. Overall, a good first experience. Service was quick, and food was good. Definitely will have to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

Food is good and flavorful. Nothing I thought was super spectacular but for the cheap price it was definitely good. We kept it light as it was hot with salads and larb. The summer rolls with shrimp were also very fresh with crunchy veggies. The peanut sauce was pretty good too.

There's some outdoor seating and tightly packed indoor tables. read more

My friends and I decided to hit up this spot after a shopping spree in SoHo on a pretty busy night. We had to wait a while for an open table, but we didn't mind because the ambiance was spectacular. With flowers and fake candles setting the mood, it felt like we had stepped into a Pinterest board. While the staff were friendly, the service was slower than a sloth on tranquilizers. We didn't even have basic utensils when our food arrived. Had to ask for them, and it took forever for them to make it to our table. There was also an error with one of our orders, and the process of getting it fixed was like watching paint dry. I was left seriously disappointed. I get that it was a busy night, but other busy restaurants manage to provide great service without acting like they're stuck in a time warp. I ordered the Larb Kua Chiangmai. Warning: it's really spicy. So spicy, in fact, that I couldn't finish my meal. Taste-wise, it wasn't my thing at all. It's probably authentic, but it just didn't hit the spot for me. On the bright side, the presentation was gorgeous--probably one of the prettiest meals I've ever been served. My friends seemed to enjoy their food, though. Overall, the ambiance and decor were on point, but the service and my dish left much to be desired. It's like they spent all their energy making the place look good and forgot that people come for the food and service, too. read more

(Overall: D) - Despite a pleasant first experience, it seems like three new data points are all consistent in that Lan Larb Chiang Mai's quality is inconsistent and with noticeable flaws these days. The staff were quite kind and friendly, even through this quick takeout experience, but unfortunately the food was not good. (Som Tum: F) - This green papaya salad has all the ingredients for success but is lacking in flavor. It needs more of that beautiful palm syrup and fish sauce to power through and seasoned the unflavored papaya; the ingredients also need to be pounded more in the pestle to be more absorbing of such flavor. (Pad Woon Sen: D) - This is a vermicelli based noodle dish, which unfortunately was unevenly cooked as some of the vegetable were still raw and some of the meat was overcooked. The dish was also improperly seasoned as the noodles absorbed all the flavor and the large pieces of cabbage, broccoli, and carrot were notably bland. (Short Rib: D) - This short rib curry is one of their specialities, presenting itself as a large meaty piece of short rib, but unfortunately fell short with a cross-sectional piece and little meat attached instead. The actual flavor of the curry is quite ginger-forward and earthy and goes well with the sticky rice, if that rice were a little more moist and fluffy instead. -- Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: -1 Atmosphere: E Service: +1 Menu: E Overall: -1 D Insta/Beli: @amei_eats read more

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and great service! We ordered the basil fried rice and Panang curry--both were flavorful and well-prepared. The decor is quaint, it wasn't too busy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. For drinks, the Lin Ping had a sweet, earthy flavor, while the Ka-Sa-Long was well-balanced--right up my alley.

My friends and I had dinner here after shopping nearby. The ambiance was nice. It seemed to be a quaint and popular restaurant. A we went inside the place, the first thing that caught my eye were the lanterns that were hung from the ceiling. They reminded me of the lanterns we saw in Chiang Mai, Thailand during our last trip. I loved the decor. We got lucky and got a table pretty quickly. Once we were seated, we ordered our dishes: Som Tum which is papaya salad (spice level-Mild), Pad Thai with chicken (Spice level- Extra spicy), Khao Na Ped (this dish has duck), and Kra Prow khai Dao (Ground/ minced Chicken with white rice, mixed vegetables and a fried egg). The food was pretty good. I wouldn't mind dining here again to try other dishes. I love exploring various Thai restaurants in NYC because it makes me reminisce about my a venture in Thailand years ago. You should check out this place. read more

Might I have found a reasonable Thai restaurant in Lower Manhattan? Quite possibly. Located in Little Italy, this restaurant which I am not going to try and pronounce (for now), is cozy but fits the bill when it comes to portion size to price ratio. The Thai Iced Tea is decent and is worth saving for the main course. As I say for all things dairy to all things spicy, conserve your ammunition! The Tom Yum soup is tasty, but small and skimpy. It has lots of mushrooms but it only comes with four prawns of shrimp. You might be better off getting the chicken for a more satisfying soup. Or break the bank and get both proteins. The Pad Se Ew I got as a recommendation from my server. It was between that or my usual Drunken Noodle. The portion size is generous and the food has decent flavor (I had to keep reminding myself that this is not a spicy dish), but I nearly polished the whole thing. Points are knocked for the chicken, which I feel is tough and a little bit dry. I think they could also use some more tasty appetizers as well, but good thing I did not get these or my bill would have been through the roof. Overall this restaurant is workable and will try another dish if the craving should arise again for Thai food. read more

Wow Lan Larb Chiang Mai is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants I've tried in NYC. For delivery, I got the crab fried rice and cream cheese rangoon. Both of which came in secure packaging and tasted fantastic. I thought the crab fried rice was priced reasonably in terms of quality and quantity. The entire dish was very flavorful (with or without the sauce) and had lots of lump crabmeat. I was also able to eat the other half for lunch next day. As for cream cheese rangoon, they were still warm and crispy upon delivery, and went well with the complementary sweet chili sauce. I will definitely be ordering from here in the future! read more
