    Absolutely loved the food here. The pumpkin curry was flavorful and perfect amount of spice. The morokot cocktail was very very good. Probably my favorite Thai restaurant cocktail so far. Very nice and cozy atmosphere. Great service as well. Would highly recommend!

    Green Curry
    Laila F.

    Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night with a party of 4 at 730. The restaurant was crowded but we were able to get a table within 15 minutes! We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that they have a happy hour that ends at 8 pm with drinks discounted as well as discount on edamame and spring rolls (we got the rolls and they were great!) Super cute vibey ambiance. Service was quick and food came out super fast. This was one of the best Thai spots we've had in the city with great prices. We tried the: - green curry: 5/5 amazing spice level and so flavorful, comes with rice - pad kee mao- 5/5 also incredible - basil fried rice- 5/5 AMAZING spice, we got with veggies which was so good - Kra pao with pork- 5/5 this was one of our favorites -hed Tod- 3.5/5- only thing I probably wouldn't order again, needed more salt and flavor Highly recommend this spot.

    Roti Nam Keang
    Jason W.

    A really solid Thai place in the East Village that I can see myself going back to many times. MayRee seems to focus on southern Thai food and brings on some great Thai flavors. We had the Tom Yum Goong which was delicious, one of the better iterations I've had, and the Roti Nam Kaeng which featured a rich roti and tasty curry. MayRee is pretty casual and the restaurant leans on the louder side. It's a great place to meet up with friends and eat tasty Thai food with a cocktail in hand.

    Mango Sticky Rice
    Lila L.

    On a hot humid Sunday at 1:30pm, we walked into the restaurant and were the only diners there. The place was cozy with plants and intricate Thai decors. We ordered: - Somtum Papaya salad: can't go wrong with this classic, though the fish sauce is a tad more pungent compared to other papaya salads I've had - Kaeng Phed Ped (roasted duck curry): The duck was tender, and the curry had a sweet and tangy flavor from the pineapple & lychee. - Pad Mee Kati (vermicelli noodle w/ crab meat): Solid choice. The flavor on the noodles were on the milder side, so it was a good balance. It came with egg noodles, bean sprouts, and dried chili pepper on the side, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to mix it in or it just could've been cooked together instead being placed on the side - Mango Sticky Rice: 5/5! the mango was perfectly ripe and sweet, paired with the slightly salted sticky rice and coconut sauce on the side. Perfect combo - Manee cocktail: refreshing and light, highly recommend Service was attentive and fast. One con was there's no AC in the restaurant on a 88 degree day, only fans so it was quite warm. Overall, a strong contender amongst all the Thai restaurants nearby.

    Really really great Thai spot in the east village. Spicy basil fried rice was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more

    Roti Mataba
    Shafqat D.

    I'd call this a thoughtful introduction to Southern Thai in the East Village! Dishes that lean into heat, depth, and comfort. We started with the roti mataba and gai gor lae -- both excellent openers. The roti was flaky and satisfying, and the gai gor lae delivered rich, spiced flavor that set the tone for the rest of the meal. For soups, the gai tom kamin was especially comforting, warming without being heavy. For mains, the pad kee mao with beef had good heat and depth, and the khao nar ped stood out with its layers of flavor and rich peanut sauce. One of the highlights of the meal was the paga, which really showcased the kitchen's ability to deliver bold Southern Thai flavors without feeling overwhelming. A classic Thai iced tea rounded everything out nicely and paired well with the spice. Service was warm and attentive throughout the meal. Staff were happy to explain dishes and make recommendations, which helped a lot if you're newer to Southern Thai cuisine. Food came out at a comfortable pace, and the experience felt relaxed rather than rushed. The space itself is cozy and charming -- small, intimate, and well-suited for letting the food and the story behind it shine. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere supports the meal instead of distracting from it.

    Park Mor
    Ruby C.

    This low-key Thai restaurant has quietly earned recognition, being featured in the Michelin Guide for two years in a row since its opening. Nestled on a quiet street in the East Village, MayRee offers a homey and authentic Southern Thai cuisine.   In my opinion, most Thai restaurants in NYC are either "good" or "very good," and MayRee easily falls into the "very good" category, with its delicious food, drinks, and warm service. *Park Mor $15 ** I always order park mor, a sweet peanut steamed dumpling, whenever I spot it on the menu, as it's a rare find. It quickly became our favorite dish of the night. The chewy dumpling skin encased a peanut filling that was crunchy, sweet and savory. The dumplings were also beautifully presented in shades of blue and white. *Somtum $16 My all-time favorite thai appetizer. Crunchy, tangy and refreshing. Be warned--they really mean it when they say "medium spicy".   *Kaeng Phed Ped $31** We've had crispy duck curry at several Thai spots, and this one served the most tender duck by far. The curry was addictive, with pineapple, lychee, and cherry tomatoes simmered in the rich and spicy curry sauce. We couldn't stop digging into the dish--it was that delicious.   *Pad Mee Kati $27 It was a southern thai style sautéed vermicelli noodles, topped with lump crab meat and omelette. Not only was it picture-perfect, but it was also absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the thin, chewy noodles. *Fried Ice Cream $12 Undoubtedly a showstopper. I was stunned to see the ice cream not melting in the fried ice cream! It was coated in breadcrumbs, garnished with coconut flakes and chocolate drizzle. Then the server set it aflame, turning it into a mini fire show. The crust did have a taste of alcohol for the flaming purpose, and was a tad too thick for my liking.   *Lychee Thai Tea $6 Very refreshing and served with real lychee. Less heavy than an actual thai iced tea because it didn't have milk in it. *Prysob (Mekhong rum, mango, lime, honey) $17 Our server strong recommended this cocktail to us. It was served with a slice of dried mango. Sweet and tropical. I personally disliked alcohol, but this drink was so smooth and sweet that I would have thought it was just a juice!!

    Great Thai food! I loved my pad see ew. We started with the roti mataba which was good and had a really good sauce with it. We also tried a rice dumpling app which name I can't remember but it was ok. My entree was delicious. I loved my pad see ew, and I tried some of the green curry and drunken noodles as well which were all great. We were a party of 4 that walked in and had to wait maybe 10 minutes before a table was ready on a Saturday night. It was overall a great spot!

    MayRee in New York, NY specializes in Southern Thai food and it's right in the LES! They have a cute cocktail bar to make some delicious cocktails to go with their delicious Thai food. They have a great happy hour! Mayree has the Thai classics along with some specials like the roasted duck curry. You can't go wrong here! Malai()- Malibu Coconut Rum/Homemade Coconut mixed/Pineapple juice/ Topped Maekhong Rum and Coconut IceCream Lumpao ()- Phraya Rum/Peychaud's Bitter/ Pineapple juice/Lime juice/syrup KAENG PHED PED- Roasted duck curry with pineapple, lychee, tomato, chili paste and coconut milk served with jasmine rice BACON HOR NAM/ Deep fried Thai pork sausages wrapped with bacon served with sweet chili sauce SOMTUM- Papaya salad with green papaya, tomato, chili, peanut, string beans, fresh lime juice with a choice of Original style with dried shrimp or Esan style with fermented fish sauce and salted crab PAD KEE MAO- Stir fried wide noodle with egg, bell pepper, onion, fresh chili and fresh basil

    Pad Thai Hor Khaithai
    Ozzy M.

    This place was great! Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was comfortable with some decent mellow music playing in the background. We arrive around 9pm and the place wasn't super crowded but all the chairs seemed to be filled. The place seats I would say around 40-50 people. Reservation aren't needed if your party is less than 6. We wanted to try a mix of everything. We started with the spring rolls and the Gai Tod Hat Yai fried chicken wings. The spring rolls were good but mid at best. The Gai Tod wings were extremely good! I highly recommend. Our main dishes were the Tom Yum Goong soup, the Kaeng Phed Ped soup and the Pad Thai Hor Khai noodles. The Tom Yum soup was really good but the bowl that they serve it in is a little uncomfortable to try and scoop from when the soup is getting towards the end. It also takes a lot of space on the table. The Kaeng Phed Ped was really good! Very flavorful and the duck was very soft and not chewy which scares a lot of people away from eating or ordering duck at times. It comes with a side of rice. The Pad Thai Hor Khai noodles were slamming! It comes wrapped around in an egg and on the dish they give you crushed peanuts and sprouts to put on it. Very delicious. We got two different drinks and a beer to go with our meal. The Badura drink and the Malai. Both decent. The Malai didn't have a lot of Alcohol to me but that might be a matter of preference. The waitress were friendly and attentive and the bathroom was clean. Overall really good spot to bring a date or eat with some friends. I hope you enjoy!

    Mayree is an incredible east village destination! This warm and cozy Thai restaurant boasts friendly staff, phenomenal cocktails, and delicious food! It was an amazing experience from the moment I walked in. Some of the highlights of this visit were the roti nam keang, the park mor, and the benjawan cocktail. This is one of the better Thai restaurants I've been to in NYC, and it is certainly understandable as to why it has been included in the Michelin Guide. I will be returning soon!

    Kayla Y.

    No wait on a Saturday night which was great! Located on a side street, the inside of the restaurant was super clean and well decorated. The service was fast and the servers were attentive, constantly refilling our waters and asking if we needed anything. The food itself was great! Our noodle dish contained a good lump of crab, though the taste of the dish was mild, which is a bit unexpected with Thai food. Our seafood curry dish was very good and the clams were super fresh! This place was solid but the price point for Thai food was a bit high, but I guess for the ingredients used it made sense.

    Absolutely amazing, the food the ambiance the service was all amazing. This is a hidden gem in the east village.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

    Dear Strangers? Yes, they certainly treat you like one! This place is not good. They seemed…read moreunprepared to handle restaurant week. There weren't enough servers to handle the crowd and that was reflective in our dinner service. Despite being checked in on 0 times and having to flag them down for water, to order, and to get our check, their attitude wasn't warm or accommodating at all. It even came off like we were bothering our server when asking for basic things. The food was subpar. Didn't try the drinks. Maybe that's the savior? -Tuna tartare acceptable; nothing to write home about -Chicken dumplings tasted like chicken but had no bite to it. Weird and served on paper that resembled a crumpled receipt or used tissue. -Chicken cutlet was warm and soggy. No truffle flavor as advertised on the menu. Some creativity points for the accompanying foam dip but it didn't work. -Beef short rib was tasty but the single potato that come with it felt insulting and cheap. Really? One potato? -Pecan pie dessert and sorbet were really good. Sad way to finish, only enjoying the final course. Ambiance was good. Floors were super slippery because they were tiled on a snowy day. They should warn their guests about that. Lots of work to be done here and I will not be around to see it through!

The food (dingle pie and spice bag chips) were also really good. The spice bag chips seasoning was really good. We walked in Wednesday 8:30 PM and they had a couple of high chair seats at a side bar in the parlor room available. Really fun decorations and ambiance.

The expansion into the building next door tripled the Taproom, and the crowds tripled with it. Here's the thing though. The Irish Coffee is still the best in America. Served warm, not scalding, cream whipped to order and floated so it sits like a lid. Three tables around me ordered rounds at 2pm and nobody was wrong. The Parlor upstairs is where the actual bar still lives. Sixteen cocktails you can't get downstairs, table service, relative quiet. Downstairs, skip the fried chicken (it's tenders, whatever the menu says) and get the fish and chips, which are honest. Service was fast and a little impersonal, which is what happens when your ground floor is 60 percent tourists photographing the dollar bills on the ceiling. The 1828 building still does a lot of work, low ceilings and all. Is it the world's best bar anymore? No, and half the old bar team has scattered to open their own spots around town, Limo in the East Village being the latest. But a Guinness and an Irish Coffee here on a weekday afternoon is still one of the better hours you can spend below Chambers. Book the Parlor, treat the Taproom as the warmup.

The tea was strong and fragrant - it is on the sweeter side, a bit like dessert, so i had to pair it with water, but it was still yummy and would recommend yuzu contact - this was alright! Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only

It's a very small space, so it may be a bit of a wait for a seat. We came around 8:45 PM, and got a spot at the bar after about 20 minutes. We tried the yuzu contact and the ma-chet baker, and the ma-chet baker was definitely our favorite. It tasted just like a matcha latte, and I liked the bits of gen maicha in it. It wasn't very strong however. The yuzu contact was also very light and citrusy.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!
