The food here is exceptional! Some of the best Thai I've ever had, hands down! 1000% recommend their beef pad see ew, it is a go to. Also tried the papaya salad and massaman curry and they were both delicious. I am still thinking about this meal. The prices are also amazing, especially for the city. The restaurant is spacious and there is plenty of seating. Comfortable for any party size. The service was quick and very attentive. They are quick to clean up after you and are very approachable. I wish I could rate them 1000 stars! read more

Spot clean place with good vibes and friendly staff. I liked the fact they offered Grewustraminer (fragrant wine pairs perfectly with Thai food) by the glass. Not impressed with the spring rolls but prawn soup was good. Drunken noodles were delicious and the portion more than satisfying. Set lunch US$ 16,00 with starter and main. read more

Absolutely incompetent staff and avoid at all costs if you have allergies. I walked in and said I was allergic to garlic and onion and they claimed they could make anything on the menu without it, which I knew immediately was untrue. They then went back and forth 4 times about whether certain dishes had garlic and onion or not. They had no idea. They have no clue what's in their food and it's actually really unacceptable and dangerous for those with allergies. I ended up leaving without eating anything at all. read more

It's a small romantic intimate place with great vibe and service. I loved the Som Tum; Papaya Salad. One of my favorite Thai dishes, and CNN's one of World's Best Dishes. The Steak Khao Soi Curry Noodle was a total perfection, with a mouth watering steak in a rich curry sauce. The Lychee cocktail helped me wash it all down.

Ventured from lower east side to check out this Thai newcomer . Lots of Thai comfort food options including a seasonal fall add on menu, which had a few pumpkin dishes. We got Panang curry with beef and drunken noodles with beef. Lunch entrees come with a choice of rolls or dumplings or a small bowl of soup. I opted for Tom Kha with chicken and veggie fried rolls. Both were tasty and authentic. Mains didn't disappoint. We both thought flavors were in point and beef was thinly sliced and not chewy. Worth coming in for dinner but I suspect a wait since the place is small. read more

i heard that there was a really cute spot for thai food in the upper east side and really wanted to check them out! the food and decor at plue is SOOO comforting and inviting, i'm a big fan of how homey eating here felt. the food is fairly inexpensive compared to other thai spots in the city - the most expensive things were seafood entrees at $27 each. given how yummy everything was, i'd say it's definitely a great deal. and we took a bunch of leftovers home too! !!! NOTE: they're gluten free and vegan friendly!! we were able to ask them to substitute out some sauces for the gluten free version, so my friend (who has celiac's) could eat mostly everything :) we were able to share everything except the crab cake. their menu clearly labeled items that were already gluten free/vegan too! 100000/10 what we ate (* = my faves): -drinks: lychee earl grey iced tea*, homemade limeade -turnip cake (summer special)* -crab cake (summer special) -chili cloud ear mushroom -avocado summer roll* -pork drunken noodles -chili garlic crispy pork belly* -mango sticky rice RUN DON'T WALK for the turnip cake. soooo good fr. by far my ultimate favorite thing we ate this meal! the crab cake flavor was really delicious, but i felt like there were a lot of shell/inedible bits in my first bite which left an uncomfortable impression... love love loved the presentation of it though, i couldn't stop taking pictures hahaha the avocado summer roll tasted so fresh and i really liked the peanut sauce it was served with! felt good to get my veggies in too LMAO. the chili garlic crispy pork belly was a fantastic rice dish with a (very) jiggly egg. lightly sweet with a bit of a kick. great for any occasion! i want to come back and try even more! read more

This sandwich is usually not something that is available vegetarian so i was curious to see the flavors and textures. The steak is chewy and meaty so if you are not a fan of faux meat then i would proceed with caution. I enjoy the cheeses here as they are unique and different from each other. The sandwich overall was okay though not my favorite sandwich ever. - smoked Mac and cheese (7/10): macaroni with smoked goat cheese, cheddar, mozzarella baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with vegan pancetta and breadcrumbs. This was a cozy appetizer especially on a cold day. The flavors of the cheese are rich and smoky with a hint of saltiness from the pancetta and breadcrumbs. I would have liked it to be a larger portion and offered as an entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I liked the ambiance and the option to try dishes that are usually meat heavy but the cuisine is not my personal favorite.

The space was super clean, calm, and had a vibe that felt authentic to the cuisine. The staff was also incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and fast, which made the whole experience even better. But the food is what really blew me away. I got the Korean Wild Green Tea First Picked, and it was unreal. Yes, it had that beautiful green tea character, but it was so much more layered than that--smooth, complex, almost naturally sweet, and honestly one of the most memorable teas I've had anywhere. I also ordered the iced matcha latte, and it was easily the best matcha latte I've ever had: no grittiness at all, just incredibly smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. We also had the baby dumplings in spicy sauce, popcorn shrimp, fried Manchurian cauliflower, spicy kimchi pancakes, Peking duck baos, and the duck rice bowl. Every single dish was excellent. I'm still baffled by how well they nailed the shrimp texture--seriously impressive. The flavors across the board were rich, creative, and satisfying without feeling heavy. If you're in Murray Hill and want a standout vegan lunch or dinner, or you're just looking for one of the best plant-based restaurants in Manhattan, Franchia is absolutely worth going out of your way for. Highly recommend.

I feel like this place is a 1 and done - but not something that you have to have... more like, if…read moreyou have FOMO and want to try the hype. I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

Combo (chicken and lamb) over rice and fries was well seasoned. Would recommend dranks while waiting with friends in line hehe!

Guess when you have lines everyday, you get a solid idea about how long it takes. The employee who I later found out was a manager was doing a lot of yelling. That included yelling at customers to keep moving and to hurry up ordering. It did not include telling his one employee taking orders to stop chit chatting with certain customers. Interesting. When I was finally able to order, I got a pepperoni and a fig jam bacon slice. Total was like $15 which seems a little steep but whatever I guess. After about 10 or so minutes, my pizza was ready. The pepperoni was about an 8/10. Very good slice of pizza. Nothing noteworthy to me though and no better than other slices I had. A very good piece of pizza. The fig jam bacon was more like a 7-7.5/10. The amount of toppings was lacking. The bites that did have toppings were quite good. Better than the pepperoni. Unfortunately, there were few bites like that. This is very good pizza. It's not the best in the city. Far from it.

Something about regular crust is just meh to me...but this thick crust is fluffy, chewing, soft, and is the perfect canvas for some toppings! I was telling my brother that to me, the perfect pizza would be mama's too crust and the L'industrie toppings... and THAT my friend, would be the BEST pizza in the world, haha. I ordered the pepperoni on a saturday evening... or was it friday evening? around 9:45pm. It wasn't too crazy busy, but it was busy and loud. The line to order was quick, roughly a 1 minute wait? But to get your slices... the wait wasn't too bad, even though it felt longer than it did. I probably waited 15 minutes or so? Given the fact that there were 20 others ahead of me, that was not bad at all. By the time you get your food, if you wanted to eat there, you could easily find a spot to slide to, to stand and eat. Pepperoni pizza was delicious. Sauce is on the tangier/more acidic side, more tomatoey. and the pepperoni was great. Slight spice to it, but not as good as L'industries. Nonetheless, this slice was delicious. Hot, melty gooey cheese and lots of pepperoni overload. Crust is divine. I could just eat that by itself. Definitely a great bite whether on the go, drunk, or just because.

I'll start by saying I ordered the wrong thing. Hand up. I'm partially to blame because I ordered a…read moreround slice instead of the Sicilian which is what they are seemingly known for. If I ever return, I'll have to try a square slice. I was able to order right away which was nice. Having waited in line for 15 minutes and then another 10 or so immediately before at the supposed #1 place within about a 1 minute walk nearby; I was glad that this had no wait to order. I did the Uncle Joe which was a vodka pepperoni sauce and I added pesto. The total was $8.50. WTAF. NYC I guess. I waited less than 5 minutes before getting the pizza. Of the 6 slice spots I had, this was by far the best tasting dough/crust. I had an audible reaction when tasting the crust. Extremely good. Unfortunately, the pizza had too much sauce. It was overwhelming. Simply too much sauce. I could only have about half before giving up. Both sauces tasted good, but the vodka sauce was so loaded that it was hard to taste anything else. A shame because this had potential to be a great score.

After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

Plue Thai is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a charming ambiance, highlighted by a beautifully decorated wall of elephants that instantly transported us to Thailand. We visited on a chilly, winter weekday, and it was pretty quiet inside, but we didn't mind at all! As we perused the menu, we were intrigued by their seasonal winter offerings and decided to try the oxtail pho. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The oxtail was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the broth was bursting with flavor. It was the perfect dish to warm me up on a chilly day, and the addition of gluten-free rice noodles made it even more enjoyable for me, as someone with gluten sensitivities. My sister opted for the chicken fried rice, which was equally impressive. Packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat, it was a comforting and satisfying choice. For appetizers, we couldn't resist the steamed dumplings, filled with a delicious blend of chicken, shrimp, and veggies. The accompanying sauce was a delightful complement to the dumplings, adding an extra layer of flavor. One aspect that truly stood out was the attentive and friendly service. In an age where good service can be hard to come by, we were impressed by the staff's warm hospitality and attentiveness throughout our meal. It truly enhanced our overall dining experience and made us feel welcome and valued as guests. To top it all off, they offer a fantastic selection of non-alcoholic beverages, including the lychee Earl Gray iced tea, which was a refreshing and delightful choice. I hear their Thai iced tea is amazing, but unfortunately I am lactose intolerant, so I had to pass on it! And let's not forget about the takeout experience! I ordered the Chili Garlic Crispy Pork Belly for my husband, and he absolutely loved it. He devoured every last bite, and said it had the perfect amount of heat. I stole a bite of the pork and it was so good, even after sitting in my car ride to the airport for over 40 minutes!! Overall, our experience at Plue Thai was nothing short of fantastic. With its delicious food, welcoming ambiance, exceptional service, and mouthwatering takeout options, it's a restaurant that we'll be returning to again. They offer tons of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine in the area! read more
