    Ribs, Koong Karee
    Tanya A.

    We were so excited to finally try Soothr and we already can't wait to come back! We came with a reservation on a Saturday night and were seated quickly after checking in. The restaurant was very busy and we were told we had an hour and a half time total to enjoy our dinner. We started with a Thai beer and Thai iced tea followed by a delicious fresh eggplant salad. We then got the spare ribs, the duck noodles, the shrimp koong karee and the chicken khao soi. Would repeatedly get the chicken, ribs and eggplant salad but looking forward to trying more menu options next visit! Service was quick and the food was plated beautifully and delicious!

    Perhaps I had too high of expectations but I was honestly not impressed by this meal. The tofu khao soi was really tasty, and I have never before seen a veg khao soi offered so that was exciting. Other two dishes were very spicy but otherwise average in taste and preparation. We got a vegan duck dish which was decent and the real duck rolls which completely lacked flavor. Probably would not return given the difficulty of getting a reservation + multitude of other thai options around the city.

    eggplant buns

    This was a big let down. After hearing rave reviews about this place and fighting for a reservation, I was super excited to try one of New York's most famous Thai restaurants. I will preface by saying I have dietary restrictions, so could only order vegetarian/pescatarian dishes. To share, my table got the eggplant buns. I was super excited for this as an eggplant lover and was really let down. The eggplant wasn't crispy, and the sauce wasn't flavorful enough to add anything to it. Just overall could have used more flavor, especially since bao is so light and a great vehicle for complex flavors. For my main, I got the Vegetable Masamun Trio. I don't know why I expected three different curries. We had to order rice separately, which is not a huge deal, but just something to note. This dish was tasty, but nothing that blew my socks off. Just a homey curry. My friends got the duck noodle and also found it average, maybe too salty. The service was friendly and they were accommodating to my late friend.

    Duck noodle - more simple and plain flavors but very good. Duck was perfectly moist Crab fried rice - decent but the green sauce it comes with is amazing. It's fish saucy, sour, cilantro Khao soi - great and more soupy than most. Other places do give more crispy noodles but the flavor on this is very good. Typically had it with chicken but this has crispy pork belly which I love. Get extra noodles to soak it up. Hat Yai - idk why I always get this it's just plain fried chicken with like sweet and sour dipping sauce Pork jowl - typically fresh sour salty Thai tastes Cocktail - forgot the name but see photo. I very much enjoyed it

    Overall: 5 stars Soothr was a Michelin rated restaurant that has some solid quality Thai food so I was eager to go back for a second round since its been a while. The quality seems to have lasted between the gap and maintains very consistently solid with good service, an interesting menu, and well executed tasty food. I greatly appreciated that they take all dietary restrictions very seriously, reaching out about dairy beforehand and checking in multiple times at the restaurant. (Hoi Johr: C) - Meat forward appetizer encapsulated by a crisp wrapped bean curd. The meat filling is tender and pairs well with that classic thai glaze. The presentation could be made more appealing though. (Pad Thai: B) - Petite portion of Pad Thai, but the flavor profile is solidly there with the sweetness, saltiness, and sourness such that no component overpowers. This one makes a particularly great lunch deal. (Crab Fried Rice: A) - Light but hearty fried rice that is subtle on the palette and paired well with tenderly delicate crab meat. The green sauce adds a herbaceous acidity that gives a second life to the dish. Food: +1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: +2 Menu: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli: @amei_eats Insta/TikTok: @ameizing.race

    Duck curry
    Daphne L.

    You get around 1.5 hours to sit down and enjoy your meal. Had the had tai chicken, fried dumplings, duck curry and the pork belly summer special! The pork belly was super tender and the duck in the duck curry was also super soft! The curry was a bit sweet but super yummy! Portion wise I would say the curry was a tiny bit smaller than expected? The had tai chicken was a bit dry as well

    Chicken Khao Soi

    We showed up at 4:45 on a Wednesday and were third in line. Upon opening we weee called within 10 minutes. The duck rolls were hot and the inside was flavorful. The sweet sauce on the side complemented it well. I had the Karee Pu because the waiter said it was really popular. It was so creamy and like nothing I have tasted before. Delicious! The consistency was so thick and flavorful! I could have made two meals out of it. My companions had chicken kao soy. I've also never had that flavor. It was spicy, almost too spicy for me but that flavor! That's a "last meal" request type of dish! We drank multiple Saratoga little bottles, my only change was that I would have liked larger bottles offered. The staff was quick and helpful, it ran seamlessly. I felt we were in good hands. This is an outstanding establishment that makes me rethink other five stars I've given, wish I could rate it higher. My daughter tells me the portions are the same if Doordashed.

    Craving for Thai food and found this amazing restaurant/bar in east village. Food was amazing and it has the chic local bar feeling even though it was only the lunch time. Servers were attentive. Crab fried rice was really outstanding. Simple the best! Goes so well with the sauce. Chicken Khao Soi is one of the signature - Rich, strong coconut flavor and sweet. Next time gotta try the Nam-Tok Moo - I think I like something rich but not so sweet. Mango sticky rice, good as always to end this meal.

    Moo Dang Puff,  Khao Soi Moo Todd (Spring 2026)

    Soothr has great Thai food and an incredible interior and ambiance. Great for a cute lunch or dinner, and very Instagram worthy food and decor. We made a reservation online for around 3-4 PM, and the service was accommodating and polite. The food was excellent and the portions were generous too. We ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer for 3 people and it ended up being the perfect amount if not a little too much. We ordered the khao soi moo tod which was a noodle dish with katsu on top. It was very fragrant and spiced, with a curry like sauce and bouncy noodles. There was a lot of meat on top so it was very filling. The stewed beef was also delicious, a little spicy and very tender. It came with rice too. The moo dang puffs were probably our favorite, and they were recommended to us by the server. They were light and crispy, and the filling inside was warm and hearty. Overall, definitely recommend Soothr. There's definitely a lot of hype around this place and I get why!

    Unfortunately we were underwhelmed. I've had many Thai Boat noodles in my life and this one, even vinegar and chili condiments couldn't fix it. Something was just missing! The pork meatball app was ok. It was just 3 small cooked meatballs with something that tasted like a sweet and sour sauce topping it off. The fried tofu app had the same sauce on top, except the fried tofu was actually good. My husband's duck noodles--- this was the biggest let down. The duck was perfection. The egg noodles though? Tasted exactly like instant ramen noodles that have been overcooked. My husband couldn't bring himself to eat the noodles, and I tried it, and understood why. A good cut of duck meat with overcooked instant noodles--- no, thank you. Service was good overall. The seating is a bit of a tight squeeze and the music was so loud it caused everyone to speak so loudly over it.

    I visited Soothr in New York recently after hearing a lot of great things, and while there were some positives, my overall experience ended up being pretty average. First off, be prepared to wait. The restaurant was extremely busy, and the wait time to be seated was longer than expected. Even after getting a table, it still took a while for everything to move along--from placing my order to actually receiving the food. It definitely felt like they were a bit overwhelmed. As for the food, I ordered the duck curry, which unfortunately didn't quite hit the mark for me. The flavor leaned noticeably sweet--more than I was expecting for a curry--and it overpowered the other elements that usually make these dishes rich and balanced. It wasn't inedible, but it just didn't have the depth or complexity I was hoping for. The service was okay overall. The staff was polite, but interactions felt a bit rushed and not especially attentive, likely due to how busy the place was. We didn't have any major issues, but nothing stood out in a positive way either. The atmosphere itself is lively and trendy, so I can see why it's popular, especially for a night out. However, between the long wait, average service, and the food not quite meeting expectations, I'd say it was more of a 2-3-star experience for me. I might give it another try someday, but it's not at the top of my list to revisit.

    Had this place recommended to us so grabbed a weekend lunch reservation. We arrived 30 minutes early and waited in line for check-in for about 10 minutes or so. Soon after we were brought in and taken to our table. Service was friendly and frequent. When we needed something, someone was always close by to help. The food was as good as we've heard. The duck curry and pad thai were excellent with excellent flavors without being too salty which I experienced at other similar restaurants. The place itself is right but beautifully decorated. Nice spot all in all on the east side of the city - recommended.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

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.

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.
