Thai food is always so affordable and tasty. We ordered a few dishes to try and the bank wasn't injured by it. Starting off with the Thai iced tea and coffee which was both refreshing. Then we tried some of the noodles, skewers and chicken and they were all good too. There was a bit of a wait time before we got seated for lunch as it was extremely busy. Their service took a bit of time for the food to come out too. The interior was nicely designed and the noise level was slightly above moderate. read more

I've had Lan Larb bookmarked for a while, so I had a craving for Thai food at work. So I went here since it was near my job. I have to admit that prices are a bit on the higher side, but that's pretty expected for a Midtown spot. I did notice they do offer lunch specials so I would like to go back for that. For this order, I went with the Chicken drunken noodles, and overall, it really hit the spot. The portion size was generous, easily enough for a filling meal. The spice level was exactly what I was hoping for which is flavorful with a nice kick without being too much. Overall, I'm definitely glad that I finally tried this place. read more

Did a takeout from Lan Larb Chiang Mai (2nd Avenue) on a late Friday afternoon when the restaurant was relatively quiet. Had the Nur Nham Man Hoi Lunch Special with the Veggie Soup and an order of the Veggie Dumplings. The Nur Nham Man Hoi had great flavor and the fried egg was nicely prepared. Not a huge portion size but not bad for a lunch special. read more

This is such a cozy, hidden gem. The space is cute, the service was amazing, and the food was incredible. We ordered: Gaeng Hung Lay - Chef Kenny's grandma's recipe! Tender pork belly stewed in a rich, aromatic curry and pair with sticky rice. This is a must order! Yum Woonsen - Glass noodle salad with seafood, it so fresh, zesty, and one of my faves. Kanom Jean Nham Ngiaw - Fermented rice noodles in an herby pork broth. Comforting, flavorful, and a favorite! Khao Kriab Pak Mor - Sweet savory tapioca wraps, a fun and unique Thai street snack. Som Tum - Classic green papaya salad with a perfect chili-lime kick. Ka Na Moo Grob - Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly Cocktails: Lin-Ping and Ka-Sa-Long - both were light and refreshing! And we ended with Mango sticky rice as our dessert. read more

I decided to eat here after my hair salon appointment since it was close by my hair salon. The service was amazing and the food was even better. I ordered a classic dish Pad See Ew with beef and it was nice and warm. It came out loaded with veggies which I love. Flavorful dish. I was so hungry from spending hours at the salon; I have to admit waiting to have dinner here made the wait worthwhile. I ordered a mocktail (a lychee soda) it was cute and tasty. It was a peaceful dinner and I didn't feel rushed out of the restaurant. I would certainly would love to come back. 10/10 Midtown East Thai restaurant recommendation. read more

Amazingly well! Did a work pickup order lunch and they're very efficient and fast! Got the pad Thai which is perfectly seasoned. The massaman Thai curry is a little bland for my taste, but the cashew nut chicken is amazing. A quick go-to Thai place! read more

As a New York local, I was excited to bring my friend who is originally from Northern Thailand to Lan Larb on 2nd Avenue. We were both so impressed. We ordered the dipping sauce with vegetables, spicy red curry stir-fried string beans with crispy pork, along with beer and red wine. Every dish was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. My friend remarked that it tasted just like home. Equally memorable was the service. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated in a Northern Thai style, which made the experience even more special. And the staff were all so nice, smiling, and friendly the whole time. Our waitress, Patty, went above and beyond--she was attentive, warm, and truly made the evening special. Lan Larb offers some of the most authentic Northern Thai flavors in NYC, paired with outstanding hospitality. A must-visit. read more

I came with a group of six to try out some Thai food! We were seated quickly, and our waitress took our order as soon as we were ready. I had the chicken green curry and also shared the Larb Kua Chiangmai. The green curry was absolutely delicious--any of the meat options would be a great choice. The Larb Kua Chiangmai was also super delicious & tasty. It's definitely on the saltier side, so I recommend also adding a sparkling drink to balance it out. read more

I didn't snag a picture of the smooth, velvety creaminess of the delicious masaman curry because I was busy inhaling it! I really enjoy this place and I realize I should have been going here way more often than I did over the last three years living so close. It's a hard city to leave because of the places like this that are really worth the price. Alan Larb had reasonable prices and the foods just so good... The steak salad, the pad se ew. It's all so good. Next time I'm getting that roast duck curry for sure. I'll report back on some more soon too. read more

Ordered from them again! Pad Se Ew (with beef): The noodles were good and chewy. Flavorful sauce but what a shame because we paid an extra $2 for beef that was too dry. 3.5/5 Crab fried rice: They do not skimp on the crab and this dish is just so filling and the lime balances out the greasiness of the rice and equalizes any fishiness of the crab. Tastes like real crab. I wish there was an option to add some hot sauce or like fish sauce though. 4.8/5 Chicken wings: There were 2 drumsticks and 2 wings. Fried but juicy and had some light peppery chilli flakes sprinkled on it. Wow. Just so good and wish there was more than 4! 5/5 read more

Reliable as always for dine-in and take-out; called in order and it was ready in the ten minutes it took for us to get there. Good portion size, excellent ratio of veggies and chicken to broad noodles for the pad see ew. The definition of comfort food. read more

Next time I'm here I'll definitely be trying what they're known for which is their Larb (they seem to have a tofu veggie option as well). However, I played it safe and got a tofu pad see ew, and shared a mango sticky rice for dessert. Overall dinner portions are pretty big so I would try and come during lunch since their lunch specials are a great deal. The food here was okay, both my dishes were pretty good, but didn't stand out. Though, I will be updating my review once I try the Larb itself! read more

I got some lunch here with friends and it was really good. I think the lunch special here is pretty unbeatable. The specials range from $11-16 dollars and include an appetizer and main dish. The appetizer is a bit small but the main was big! There isn't a strong AC so the space was a bit hot but I cooled off with the lychee Thai iced tea and it was good! The server was very attentive and friendly. This is a good lunch spot if you're in the area. read more

Very authentic Thai flavors--bold on spice and great use of acidity, especially in the green curry and tom yum soups. The basil fried rice was fragrant with excellent wok hei. Overall, a nice but slightly pricey lunch spot. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting the city and he was craving for some larb. We were staying with friends and this happened to pop up as one of the first options when searching. We decided to check it out as it was also the closest. We did a take out option but could have done dined in. The restaurant has the perfect atmosphere for a cute date night or even a girls night out. We ordered the chicken larb and the pad khee mao. I was looking for some drunken noodles but was informed by Google these were the same. Personally, they didn't taste like drunken noodles I've had before, but they were delicious. The noodles were the perfect chewiness but also smoky with wok and spice level was perfect. The larb was perfectly seasoned, not overly sour or wet. The portion sizes were perfect for two people or even for one and leftovers. When we went to pick up the workers were very friendly, but will have to go back to dine in. read more

My boss was taking me for lunch and I suggested Thai food. Originally we were suppose to go to Thai Food Near Me. However since both restaurants were 2-3 stores apart, we ended up mistakingly walking into Lan Larb instead. The restaurant is nice and has a good lunch special deal. An appetizer and an entree for $15. I got the crab rangoon appetizer and pad see ew. The crab rangoon was good but the pad see ew was lacking some flavor. Would recommend if you are going for price/portion size. read more

Wow ...Great taste ever !!! I think they have changed the whole thing from previous Thai Esan restaurant to Lan Larb Chiangmai (same as the one in Soho location) Their food always amazing !

Love that there's a reliable Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Ordered take-out and it was ready in 20 mins. Friendly staff. Here's what we ordered: - Red Curry Duck: Delicious. Duck was cooked well, skin crispy, but not dried out. Curry was delicious as well with fresh veggies. We even had leftover and saved it to eat over rice the next day. - Shrimp Pad Thai: Shrimps were fresh and not mushy at all. Pad Thai had the balance of flavors - sweet, tangy, spicy. Would definitely come back. read more

Ordered from Lan Larb for the first time via GrubHub. The order was delivered fairly quickly but the tupperwares the food came in didn't close well and all the sauce leaking from the dishes was all over the bag and the dish itself. We got coconut shrimp, drunken noodles with beef, and minced pork Thai basil. Both dishes were great but they were VERY spicy. Definitely have to tell them to reduce the spice level next time we order from here. Overall a solid choice for take out! O read more

Just had the pad tai lunch special here, awesome flavor, great portion. Very satisfied and will be back.

good food, not happy about the price increases. they also need to send their drivers out with change

only have tried takeout but have not been disappointed. drunken noodle is my go to and runs on the spicy side. solid thai iced tea

Ordered from this place for delivery for lunch and it was DELISH! Quite unexpected and they definitely delivered flavor! I had the chicken fried rice and asked for chili sauce on the side along with their calamari. Chicken was good enough for 2 servings and the chili sauce was just the cherry on top. The calamari arrived nice and cripsy, no fishy taste and very satisfying. Recommended this place to the rest of my coworkers and I this will definitely be added to one of my regular restaurants to order for lunch! read more

Ordered for delivery at around 7 pm on a Saturday to our hotel, and it came when it said it would. We decided to try a bunch of different things: Assorted Appetizer (2 curry puffs, 2 spring rolls, 2 chicken and shrimp dumplings, and 2 coconut crusted shrimp) - I loved the curry puffs. It was packed with flavor. The spring rolls and dumplings were super basic. Shrimp was good, but it's nothing you can't find at your local Costco freezer section Papaya salad (green papaya, tomato, peanut and long bean in spicy lime dressing) - the spicy lime dressing was perfect. However, the papaya was a bit soggy; kind of like it wasn't made fresh. Maybe they just make these in big batches in the morning for the entire day Nua Yang Esaan (Thai grilled steak) - this was a bit dry and it needed salt. However, I must say that the jaew sauce made up for everything. It's a sweet, spicy, and tangy dipping sauce that I probably would have taken shots of, if it wasn't so spicy. Even though I loved the sauce, this dish is definitely not worth its $25 price tag Pad Thai with chicken - chicken was a bit tough and bland and the pieces were huge (not in a good way). The flavor overall wasn't great. I think it could have used a bit more salt or a bit more of a tangy factor Thai iced tea - I get this is supposed to be sweet but this was sickeningly sweet. We took a few sips but couldn't stomach the rest. We also ordered a coconut water, which they forgot but we decided it wasn't worth it to make them come all the way back to deliver a drink Overall, the food was very mediocre. At least we got 20% on GrubHub since it was our first order here? read more

Good lunch specials at a good price - came down to around $14 with tax and tip for a pad kee mao with chicken larb side. The portions are not small, the food is delicious, and the restaurant has a fun, well-decorated vibe. It was fairly empty around 12pm but filled up afterward. Highly recommend for lunch. read more

Was looking for Thai food in the neighborhood. Stopped in for Friday lunch and partook in the lunch specials - great deal for appetizer and entree. Note: the size is "lunch size" meaning smaller than usual. My friend got chicken with pad thai noodles and I got chicken with massuman curry, which came with rice. We both got tom yum soup as the appetizer, which was delicious - tart and savory. My curry was good too, with a decent amount of chicken. I also got a mango mimosa, which hit the spot. It wasn't too sweet or watered down, as they can be. The atmosphere was fine - enough room to seat everyone and not too cramped. Service was good. Bathroom was clean. I saw some pick up orders come through as well. Would come back, especially for the lunch special. read more

Loved this place. We ate the coconut shrimp appetizer, and for our main dishes we had tamarin duck and pad Tai beef. Best we've ever had. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked great. Service was great also. Food came out fast and sequenced well. Ambiance was quiet pleasant, a little warm for my task. Will definitely return. Thank you. read more

Was just walking around hoping to spot a new place and game to this place with the window sign announcing 'Bangkok Street Food' with photos of the dishes. So I wanted to try the Khao Moo Tod, crispy pork belly over white rice with Jaew sauce side of tomato, cucumber, cilantro, topped with fried onion, Inside I was unable to checkout what could be part of the menu because it on black background in a low lite sitting. I was looking for appetizer and dessert but there was none to be found. Khao Moo Tod, was good the pork belly cooked well and not greasy but the meal as a whole is on the plan side. There was plenty of take out orders coming in so I guess the online menu has more options than what you get in person looking for takeout. read more

Consistent. Reliable. Comforting. Delicious. With restaurants tanking left and right throughout Manhattan, I hold onto hope that my favorite neighborhood Thai place survives. Each day I breathe a sigh of relief knowing it's lived to see another day. I've stopped here pre-pandemic many a time for a happy hour beer or a glass of wine. Unassuming and low key - no lines, no reservations needed, just a humble joint prepping my chicken pad Thai, crab fried rice and green curry the way I like. Lan Larb felt more of a take out place even pre-COVID. They did have a small indoor area for dining consisting of the dedicated regulars and people who work in the area popping in for lunch or post-work dinner. COVID era they have an area for pick up orders indoors and tiny tables outdoors (winter in NYC nixing the idea of sitting outdoors for a meal now). Always solid and a great neighborhood Thai joint. If you're looking for fair pricing, quality and consistency, this Thai joint is your place. Don't expect to be wowed to the moon by the food, but it's consistently solid and won't break the bank, which works for me when I'm ordering take out. read more

I wanted to try a new place for Thai food and I ordered a lunch delivery. I wasn't satisfied with their food. I ordered a Pad thai with tofu. Usually, tofu is cut into small pieces and cooked individually. However, they cooked the whole tofu and cut it later. So inside of tofu was not cooked and cold. And the noodle needed more sauce. There were two different noodle types and it gave me a suspicion that they might use the same pan for cooking different dishes. I won't order from here again. read more

Really good Thai food and my standards for Thai food are quite high! Got the pad see ew and the panang curry. My only "con" is that the pan see ew was on the sweeter side, but did really like the sauce for it. Both had large portion (can split 2 entrees between 3 ppl) and were flavorful/rich without being too heavy! The quality of the meat was also very good and they had a good ratio of protein to veggie to carbs!! The inside also has a very cute ambiance!!! Highly rec!!! read more
