    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

    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

    Park Mor

    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!!

    Pad see ew
    Anushka M.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Chandni N.

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

    They've got authentic Tom Yum soup (so hard to find!) and the special Halloween drinks are adorable!    - @GoerToEat

    Came here to try this MICHELIN-recommended spot specializing in Southern Thai cuisine. The restaurant successfully creates a cozy, storytelling vibe, and the cocktail menu is a strong point. The signature Mayree drink (pandan/cucumber) was a refreshing, creative start. Dish Breakdown: The flavor execution in the Tom Yum Soup and Pad Krapow was excellent--complex and authentic. The Fried Chicken Tendons were unique, featuring a great crispy texture and bold fish sauce seasoning. Honest Feedback: While I appreciated the bold, authentic direction of the cuisine, the saltiness was unfortunately overwhelming in every dish we ordered. It really detracted from the nuanced flavors. This might be their standard or just a one-time issue, but as a friendly piece of advice, if you are sensitive to salt, you should certainly request "Less Salt" or "Easy on the Fish Sauce" when placing your order. This place has great potential, and I hope the seasoning consistency improves.

    If you're looking for bold, authentic Thai flavors in a cozy, modern setting, Mayree NYC is a gem tucked right into 1st Avenue. This spot brings serious street food energy with a polished NYC twist -- and it absolutely delivers. The vibe is casual but trendy, with great music and even better service -- super friendly staff who clearly care about the food and the experience. Price-wise, it's very reasonable for NYC, especially considering the flavor and quality.

The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. 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!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
