Food was really delicious, great way to wait for our 10pm movie. Small place but nice for a quick date night or dinner before the movie. Service was quick and well informed on the food when asking questions. Haven't been here in a while, I hope to make a more updated review read more

Will be going back for the duck dish. Small spot. Staff is fun and attentive. The duck dish was exceptional. read more

Land - Roasted Duck Breast In Red Curry - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Land Thai Kitchen is a trendy restaurant located between West 81 & 82 Streets on Amsterdam Avenue. It gives the impression of being small but it's long with tables & chairs along the wall, a small bar in the back, soft lighting & tasteful modern decor. The staff is very polite & pleasant & food is served on a timely manner. My favorite things to have are the Spring Rolls, Vegetable Dumplings, Fried Tofu Sticks & my very favorite is the Chicken Galangal Soup which is a delicate & aromatic blend of Coconut Milk Broth, Sliced Vegetables & Chicken. The Shrimp Lemongrass Soup is very good too. They have cocktails & imported beer. Land also has outdoor seating. read more

One of my favorite Thai places on the UWS and they're open for lunch with a $15.50 2 course deal. Lunch special is offered Sunday through Friday until 3:30. A choice of an appetizer or soup and a main course. Shrimp Lemongrass Soup - a nice lemongrass broth with cilantro, wild mushrooms and shrimp. Spicy and good. Drunken Noodles with Chicken - flat rice noodles, tomato, Thai basil, snow pea, bok choy, and chili puree. It's listed as 3 spicy from past experience that's fire and at least a gallon of water. Medium spicy is a better choice and still has a good bite. Good deal... and great service as always. read more

I was looking for lunch in the area one Sunday and ended up here. Saw that they had lunch specials every day and we know how rare that is. The lunch specials didn't include my go-to pad see euw, so I ordered green papaya salad and pad khee mao. They were both solid. Service was very friendly. Ambiance was cute. Really can't beat a lunch for under $20 on the UWS. read more

Pretty mediocre Thai restaurant in the area. Nothing really special but it's not horrible if you're in a bind. Came here for lunch on a Sunday and ordered from the lunch special. You get to choose an appetizer and entree. We got the spring rolls and the chicken wraps and both were fine but the portion size is very very small. The entree we tried the chicken curry and drunken noodles with medium spicy and the spice is no joke. I love spicy food and I've never been to a place who was serious about their spice scale so beware. Other than that the portion was pretty small and it was fine. The only standout order was the Thai iced coffee which was $7 so pretty pricey. Overall, I wouldn't come back but it's also not horrible if you did. Pretty mid overall. read more

I wish the food matched the service at this restaurant. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Our party of six ordered the following: 1 Chardonnay, Domaine Talmard, 2021, France $15.00 2 Malbec, Catena, 2019, Argentina $30.00 2 Steamed Vegetable Dumplings (Vegan) $26.00 1 Crispy Vegetable Spring Rolls (Vegan) $11.00 2 Chicken Curry Puffs $26.00 1 Larb Duck (GF) $15.00 1 Wok Charred Chicken, Brown Rice $19.00 1 Pad See Ew Chicken $17.00 1 Salmon Fried Rice (GF) $19.00 1 Sapporo (Japanese Lager) $8.00 1 Wok Cashew Nut Chicken $18.00 1 Pad Thai (GF) $18.00 1 Cabernet Sauvignon, J.Bouchon, 2019 $14.00 Subtotal $236.00, Tax $20.97, Total $256.97 The best dishes were the Chicken Curry Puffs and the Pad See Ew. If you dined here and just ordered those two dishes, I think you would enjoy your dinner. The Larb Duck and Steamed Dumplings were mediocre, I would not order those again. The Wok Cashew Nut was unappetizing, only to be surpassed by the Salmon Fried Rice which was terrible. Would I return here? I doubt it, but if I did, I'd only order Chicken Curry Puffs and the Pad See Ew! read more

Ordered the drunken noodles and was so disappointed. Soggy noddles, no herbs and lacking flavor

Placed an order for pick up and was surprised the food was already packed and ready when I arrived. Food may have been prepared too quickly, as I found a piece of frozen chicken about 2/3 of the way through my drunken noodles. Until then, I thought everything was nicely flavored. Probably won't order carry out from here for a bit. read more

The place was pretty nice; I'd recommend for a date spot (most of the patrons in the restaurant were couples). While the food is fairly priced, it's not exactly cheap. Most dishes were around $17-20 without tip and tax. Tables are plentiful (about a dozen tables for 2 people including outdoor dining). My go-to for Thai restaurants is pad see ew, and while Land's is quite good, I'll say it's on the sweeter side. I personally like sweet-savory, and prefer pad see ew like that, but just be aware that it tastes like they added an extra spoonful of brown sugar to that dish. It also has a bit of a sauce to it, and the noodles were thin, round ones, which I'm not used to. The drunken chicken noodles were tasty. I think "medium" spice is perfect for this dish (you can adjust your spice level). Definitely try the Thai iced tea. Yes, I'm basic. But it's not over saturated or overly sweet, nor does it taste like water. Overall, I'd go back, although I do wish it was a bit less expensive. read more

This Thai food won't change your life, but it's good enough, and sometimes that's honestly all you need. ESPECIALLY when they're one of the rare places that have weekend lunch specials. For $13.50 you get an appetizer and an entree. THIRTEEN FIFTY. It's unheard of. I ordered the spring rolls and the chicken pad see ew for my courses. I loved the crispiness of the spring rolls as well as the fact that it came with TWO in the order. But my spring roll preference is when the filling is chopped small so that I can't really tell what's in there, while I found this filling to be made of huge chunks of carrots and cabbage. Nothing wrong, just a preference thing. Upon first look, I thought my pad see ew was a bit lacking in terms of size, but it's a lunch special. Truly cannot really complain. I thought the flavors were decent enough. The first few bites I thought veered slightly on the underseasoned side, but I think much of the sauce sunk to the bottom of the plate, so the last few bites were better. You get what you pay for, and I truly cannot complain about the food I got for $13.50. I also got a Thai iced tea, which came in this vase-like cup. It was slightly watery, but you get so much Thai iced tea in comparison to other places I think. I really felt like I just kept sipping at it and there seemed to be an endless supply of tea. I loved it. The interior of the space is really nice, though. It's well lit and well decorated, and it would be a great place to eat with a group of friends! read more

We tried their limited-time Tiger Prawn Salad, Chicken Lettuce Wrap, Mixed appetizers, and the Roasted Duck Breast in rich red curry. Every dish was truly savory! We couldn't miss out on the perfectly Grilled Skirt steak that adds a smoky touch to our dining experience. Definitely a MUST-VISIT if you're looking for an authentic Thai cuisine. read more

Displays really surprised me! Their khao soi and crispy duck were EXTREMELY GOOD. Even having been to Thailand, I would say it's comparable or even better! The flavors were there, the crispy duck was super super crispy and tender in the middle and the noodles were just the right amount of spicy. The portion sizes are fair and they're clean and quick!! LOVED IT and my expectations were really blown away bc I wasn't expecting much. Only thing was that the Service could have been a little more attentive. Overall- It's a gem! read more

Probably the worst Thai food i had recently. Very nice folks working there. But everything we ordered tasted too sweet and not fresh. Very disappointing read more

Shockingly small portions arrived in our delivery. A couple of them looked like half-size.

Went here on a Sunday during their lunch special and was not happy with the food. I had the drunken noodles with beef and it was nasty. Noodles were too soggy and whatever sauce they used was overly sweet and tangy. Service was good and staff are kind but food is bad. read more

Really wanted to like this place and went in on a calm, not busy Wednesday evening for a walk in time around 6pm or so. Lovely decor I must say. The reason I gave this restaurant such low stars is because the pad see ew was flavorful, but the texture of the noodles was not to my liking. It was new for me is all--chewy goodness still, but a bit too chewy and kind of thin at the same time? Lumpy, weirdly as well. The second reason I gave this place low stars was because I wasn't expecting to be judged for the subjects of our personal conversations by the hostess and other guests. Mind you it was a bit empty and maybe we could have had more savory topics and maybe we could have spoken quieter. But it was an empty and calm Wednesday night and we are four young friends just trying to catch up. So I don't think it was warranted when the hostess (who at that point became our server) came up to us and rudely--with a huff, I might add--asked if we wanted dessert. Mind you we were in the middle of the conversation so I feel like she was trying to interrupt to get on with her job. When my boyfriend genuinely did not hear what she said and asked her to repeat herself politely, she rudely responded again, "DE-SSERT?" Loudly and with an attitude as if we had never spoken that word or had dessert before. We politely declined and she went on her way back up to the hostess stand. Although we politely declined, we definitely clocked the attitude. At another point in the night, the quiet elderly gentleman who dined next to us had gone up to speak to her on his way out, presumably to say goodbye. I think throughout the night, since all the seating is off to one side with a long bench against the wall--and he, for some reason, was sat directly next to us--he'd often turn to our conversation and listen. Therefore, I believe that when he greeted the hostess on his way and stopped and had a minutes long conversation, I found it quite rude seeing the hostess and this customer turn towards us and laugh at us. As this did not happen long after we had our own personal conversation, it seemed they were making fun of us. Furthermore, when the hostess took our card for the check and subsequently said bye to us as we exited, she did so monotonously and rudely. She handled both of these interactions as if serving us and interacting with us were such great burdens to her. I'll give the establishment some credit where credit is due and take responsibility for our part of the evening, but there is no reason to talk down to your paying customers. Our server who initially served us was incredibly kind and lovely, so I was surprised we did not get that from all staff. I used to work in the food service industry as well, so if the hostess was having a bad day, I'll give it to her--she's human, too. But there's no reason to belittle your customers at every opportunity, especially towards the end of their visit. Leaving after these instances left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't think I'd recommend this restaurant, and I was hoping for better. read more

Average to good pad Thai, I subbed chicken for shrimp. My friend got the ginger garlic chicken and liked it. We got the mango sticky rice and it was decent, nothing unusual but the mango was ripe. They were busy on a Saturday around 7 so we sat outside, which was chilly in early April, but they didn't rush us. They were pretty attentive given that we weee the only people outside. read more

I came here for lunch and saw some people dining outside since the weather was nice, but I felt like sitting inside since it was a bit chilly. I was seated right away, and I liked how they had plastic dividers between each table inside. They have a lunch pre fixe menu that gives you two courses for only $12.50. Such a great deal for the amount of food and service. Food: For my first course, I got the crispy calamari. This wasn't anything special, but regardless, it was tasty and satisfying. The calamari arrived slightly cold, which would've been nice to have it served warm. The outside was nice and crispy and they paired it with a sweet chili peanut sauce. For my second course, I got the green curry. I saw in other reviews that even though the green curry was considered really spicy, it wasn't that spicy at all. I would agree with all of those reviews, but it was nice since I wasn't in the mood for anything too hot. There was a generous amount of chicken in the curry, and I liked the additions of the bamboo and eggplant. The curry sauce was delicious and I finished the entire thing. By the end of my meal, I was really full, so I felt like everything came in a good portion, despite some other reviews saying the portions were small. Service: There was only one other table that was dining inside, so the service was really quick. My water cup was being refilled consistently, they took my order in a timely manner, my food came out quickly, and they gave me the bill right around the time I finished my meal. read more

Land had good service and good food at reasonable prices for the upper west side. I got the pad Thai with shrimp and a side of crab omelette. The pad Thai was basic with only a few pieces of shrimp but the sauce was excellent. I could have added more protein for an extra $3-$4 but opted not to. I think they use actual tamarind in the sauce as opposed to colored weird substitutes. The crab omelette was also delicious and fried to crispy perfection. I would go back again next time I'm nearby. read more

The food was just ok because I've had much better tasting Thai food elsewhere, but I came here with family and we found a small and hard piece of clear plastic in the fried rice. A waitress noticed our disgust immediately and helped us get rid of the plastic so I didn't have time to take a photo of it. They offered to provide a second serving of fried rice, which I think was appropriate to offer. The interior space is also generally narrow and more intimate, so not for big groups. Eat here with caution! read more

I was looking for good Thai food and came to Land. Ordered "Spicy" beef salad and Pad Thai Noodles. The salad was bland and not spicy at all. It included only 5 small strips of beef. The Noodles were dark red - not sure why, may run through soy sauce (?), also it was the wrong kind of noodle for this dish. The noodles were bland and missing Nam Pla (Fish sauce) - the most important ingredient in this dish. I spent $45 for the noodles, salad, a small rice and tip. I won't order from this place again. Very disappointing food. read more

I was seated at 3:15pm on a Friday afternoon and was told to order within 5 minutes if I wanted to order from the lunch prix fixe menu (sign says lunch is available every friday to synday, from 12:00pm - 3:30pm). I felt rushed and had to motion for the waitress several times. There was only one server and one hostess working, and the restaurant was fairly busy so the service felt understandably slow. I stopped by because the lunch special (2 dishes for $12.50) sounded like a great deal, but the portions were small. We ordered calamari (came with 6 small pieces) and the dumplings (2 pieces). For entrees we ordered the shrimp pad thai & the drunken noodles. We were still hungry so we also ordered the chicken curry puffs. Everything was a bit stale. I would recommend the curry puffs as they were the most flavorful menu item out of everything we ordered, but overall probably would not come back again. read more

This was a good quality restaurant in UWS. I had green curry with tofu, which had nice herbaceous flavors.

Food delivered was barely eatable. Four people decided to go mostly hungry rather than eat their fill of what was ordered. Worst was a "crispy market fish." The spring rolls were greasy. Forget the fried tofu. The packaging, however, was fine. read more

We did not feeling like cooking tonight so on our way home we placed a take away order from Land. By the time we arrived, maybe 10 minutes and we told the server we had placed an order, she went in to check. She came back out 5 minutes later with our order. We ordered the green curry medium spice and extra veggies. It had good flavor, with the perfect amount of spice. We also got a chicken pad thai, also really good flavor. Both portions were generous and filling. Thanks Land for making dinner so we didn't have to. read more
