The servers was not so bad . Just the only thing I will say is the server gaslighted me and my friend, we placed an order from the special on the menu the premium thai. This cost $30 it came with shrimp, prawns and other seafood scallops and I believe squid & when we received it there was only prawns& shrimp in it . when I asked they would not show us the menu agin and said that's what it came with, I will never go back agin & they were probably prejudice. read more

We dined here when our of town relatives were visiting us. The food was good and the prices were decent. It felt like a date spot. The lighting was low and dark and a bit noisy for my taste. read more

I've been coming here for over 14 yrs but it's the first time I've been back since covid. I was so excited at first til my food came. I ordered the marinated pork chops that I used to love and ate them every time. But today one piece was all bone and the 2nd piece was mostly bone which explains why I was unable to cut it. Barely ate any pork. Also they tasted allot like freezer burn and they didn't taste fresh. They were precooked and extremely dry. I was very disappointed. Not sure if I'll come back again. It was also very slow so I don't understand the poor quality of food. read more

This is literally my 3rd or 4th time here at Spice. The food here is delicious, I really love it! When I ask for all my food to be spicy, they deliver. Prices are very reasonable, affordable and the portions are chefs kiss!! Could be a 5 but service isn't superb! You can't have everything at a restaurant but that needs some tidying up. read more

Four years later tried to give them another chance after my first terrible experience because everyone told me it could have just been a one time thing. Tried to call the establishment to make a reservation twice with no answer. Made a reservation online and followed up with a phone call a few hours later as I was skeptical they would allow a reservation of over 10 people on opentable. The person on the phone confirmed. This was about a week and half ago. My mind was put to peace until they cancelled my reservation on me today. For this Saturday. 4 days before my 25th birthday dinner. No phone just an email. Their food may or may not be good, I don't know about that since this is the second time I am unable to dine at this place. This place sucks. read more

First timers here .. we walked into this restaurant from a busy street and crowded places in NY and surprisingly saw so much room inside .. lots of seats .. they also had 2nd floor .. look and feel of the restaurant was great .. loved the service too . They always smiled and served us ..

It was different to what we normally have . Was dry . Overall a good experience and good restaurant in a busy street .. read more

This was my first time here at this restaurant and overall I would say that it was a pretty decent experience. If it was possible I would've rated this experience a 3.72. So technically it was closer to four stars than three stars. We were seated pretty quickly. The aura in the spot was very chill and serene. It's the perfect date spot for you and your partner to stop by on a nice Friday night. Nice and cozy with dim lights. The drink was amazing as well. However, when it comes to the food when comparing to other Thai food places it isn't quite as good. It's very possible that I would also just choose something that was not as great ! This is also pretty common with vegetarian options. The portion size was definitely worth it. read more

Spice - Fried rice with vegetables. - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with a large group and the experience was pretty great. Since we did make reservations, we were seated pretty quickly. The waiters were nice, patient, and helpful. We didn't have to wait too long for our drinks and food. In terms of the drinks, they were strong and delicious. For the food, it was not the best for the prices they have. Yes, they have different flavors and tastes compared to other Thai restaurants, but I still don't think it is worth the price. Would I be returning to Spice? Maybe, but not often. read more

I've been a fan of Spice for over five years now. I think this was my introduction into thai food when it was first starting to get popular in the city. I remember everyone from high school coming here for special events like birthdays. I haven't visited since then until recently. I came after trying thai at a multitude of other restaurants and this place still remains superior. In the past I'd always get the pad Thai with tofu or shrimp. It was always beautifully presented. The tofu was never seared that well so it was a little bland so this time I chose the mock duck when I ordered by red thunder fried rice. This rice was delicious! It wasn't spicy at all, nor did it have a tomato flavor. But it was beyond a simple fried rice. The mock duck sealed the deal for me. The chef had taken time to sear it and give it some flavor. It had absorbed a lot of the flavors from the rice and you could eat it on its own! My one suggestion would be to make the chunks smaller to get it to be more crispy. My bf got the drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp. It was good but he liked my rice better. For him, the flavors were nothing new and could be found at any restaurant. Beautifully presented though. For our appetizers, we got the Asian fish taco. I'm not sure what kind of fish they used but it had a strong fishy taste to it. I prefer cod or halibut. The spicy mayo sauce was amazing though and the bun was super soft! We also got the crab Rangoon which we loved! You could actually see the crab inside and it wasn't just cream cheese. It came with a sweet chili dipping sauce. We got our food rather quickly which we appreciated. There was a hostess who was also clearing dishes and bringing out food. We tried to get her attention a couple of times to ask about the menu but she never seemed to hear us or look in our direction. She was kind of in her own little world but other than that the service was good. read more

I ordered yesterday and I should never have eaten it, but I'm a fat pig, so what can you do? The lettuce was rancid and the chicken looked like road kill--it was giving Ryan Murphy American Horror Story. Long (horror) story short, I started throwing up around midnight and didn't stop til 8am. It's really unfortunate because I love my luxury bedding and I don't know if the stains will ever come out. I guess I'm giving it one star because Spice could be a good option if you're trying to lose weight fast. read more

I've been going to Spice for a long time, starting in the early 2000s when they were in a different location a few blocks south. It's always been a solid lunch option and continues to be. I came by today around 2pm and the service was fast and attentive. I'm impressed that the prices are still so low for the lunch special given how expensive NYC has gotten: you can still get an appetizer and entree for under $20. I had the chicken/shrimp dumplings and grilled salmon entree and I think it came to around $20 with the tax/tip. All of the food was great. Way to go, Spice! read more

Great spot!! I was walking by on my way to an account and their big red sign caught my eye so I stopped to review the sign in the window that was advertising their excellent happy hour specials. Since I am working and it's too early for that, this led me to their menu posted by the door where I discovered the interesting menu and lunch specials. I selected the 'vegetable wok holy basil' which included a complimentary appetizer choice. I opted for the seafood Tom yum soup. Both were excellent - packed with flavor and the Tom yum soup did not leave me searching for one small lonely shrimp in the bottom of the bowl. The flavorful citrus spice broth was loaded with shrimp, octopus and calamari. All of this goodness for just $10!! Casual friendly and quick service. Chill ambiance with bar and table seating and loungey music. read more

Definitely some interesting items on the menu that could be worth a try for you. I made my order to go, and was glad with how quickly I received my stuff. Rating the food: I ordered with the lunch special and chose the Salmon chili that comes with a "free" appetizer which I chose the seafood tum yum soup. The salmon was cooked pretty good, although I felt it was slightly overcooked, and the seasoning was just ok. The tum yum soup was pretty good, but wasn't blown away or anything like that. The lunch came with white rice which was perfectly cooked, no issues there. Overall, I'd say my experience was ok, and the price for the lunch special was worth a try. Would I try this place again, maybe...but I'm not running back here either. If your looking for decent Thai food at a reasonable price, and you happen to come across this place, then I'd say give it a go. read more

I loved the Tom Yum Soup. It was sour but not too sour. It wuda been perfect with some hot sauce but it was still pretty damn good. It came with shrimp & squid. The Thai tea was really good. I prefer less sweet but it's all good. The mango & lychee Thai iced tea are amazing! I'd go back just for those. Each are very fruity & flavorful. The seafood rice bowl was somewhat sweet which I didn't like since I only like my dessert sweet. I wuda appreciated it if it was spicy instead of sweet. It came with squid, shrimp, mussels, fish, bamboo, mushroom, etc. The Pad Thai Fried rice was really good. The seafood mix wok holy basil was ok. The sauce was too sweet for me. read more

We came here on a Tuesday night and got seated right away. This place has a dope vibe without all the fuss. We were able to be casual. The Thai Breeze was flavorful but still strong enough for my liking. The duck was so delicious and crispy. The curry had a little kick to it but was so well flavored. The service was fast and the staff were friendly and non-invasive. Two meals, a drink, tax and tip came out to $70 which is pretty good for this neighborhood. We will definitely be back! read more

I love Thai food especially noodles, so I've patronized Spice at several of their locations before including this one. The food is good and their lunches are a great value as well. Two people, Two appetizers and Two entrées for $20.69 (tip not included). Sometimes you are made to feel a bit rushed and that can take away from savoring the extra spice you requested in your Drunk Man Noodles. This particular locations can also feel cramped, you will become real cozy and involved in the convo of the table next to you. So, I recommend not to reveal any secret passcodes while dinning.

Spice - Drunk Man Noodles - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped in for a quick bite before seeing a show nearby. There was a wait for table seating, so my girlfriend and I sat at the bar. She ordered a specialty cocktail while I stuck with plain old water. For a starter, we ordered the wings ($8.50), which the kitchen whipped up quickly. They arrived hot, crispy, and coated in a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. No holding back, we rapidly devoured all seven wings. I highly recommend this appetizer. Next, an order of, as Spice calls it, "drunk man noodles" (pad kee mow), with chicken ($14). The dish arrived steaming hot in a metal bowl, a mixture of bell peppers, onions, noodles, and chicken, prepared with a tasty sauce. Once again, I couldn't help but eat and eat and eat. The bar service was speedy and efficient. We were out the door with ample time to stroll to the concert. Personally, my first visit to Spice was a pleasant one, and I would be happy to return. read more

This is one of the better Spice location. I've been to the one at LIC, smith street in Brooklyn, and 4th Ave (before it closed down) and this has better flavors. They have 2 floors and gets crowded during the evening. If you come in a group, they won't seat you until your everyone in your party arrives. The staff is not that friendly and attentive. I really like their lunch because it comes with an appetizer and an entree ranging from $8-$11. This is city price lunch and you definitely will get your value out of it. My favorites are shrimp fritters, dumplings, and chicken wrap for appetizer and pork chop with coconut sticky rice ($2.50 extra) and pad see ew. I would pass on the chicken basil over rice, Tom yum soup, and curry dishes. I also like their Thai iced tea. They offer happy hours from Monday thru Friday. read more

This place never disappoints me. P.s: Almost of their drinks are amazing!!!! My favorite to get is the Prosecco float (one glass of that and you start feeling real good).

I had been to various Spice locations (including this one) a handful of times in the past couple years and always favored this chain for its Thai food and decor. This time around, the food was unfortunately a miss. I came here on a Friday for lunch and was seated downstairs. The lunch special was well priced for an appetizer and an entree. I picked the golden fritters (minced shrimp and chicken with sweet chili sauce) to start and the drunk man noodles with shrimp. The golden fritters were fine, although I would rather try something else next time. The drunk man noodles were overly salty and spicy so the water was much needed to help wash them down. Finished the noodles but not the veggies in the end. I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars despite not enjoying lunch this time, because I do enjoy going here for dinner and have ordered better tasting entrees in the past (go for the massaman curry!). read more

This place can be anywhere from average to below average. But definitely isn't a 4 out of 5. Ever. It's a 3/5. At best. If you're craving Thai food and for whatever reason this is the only place that's around, then I'd say give it a try, but don't expect it to blow your mind or anything. I got the usual pad thai (extra spicy). They delivered on the extra spicy part which I appreciate! I love spicy. In terms of flavor, it was alright? Average, decent, nothing out of the ordinary. The free appetizer that comes with the meal is meh, whatever. Nice to have but it isn't anything special. The only negative thing worth writing about (for me) is how close the tables are to one another.....they definitely need to be spaced out more but maybe they just wanted to have more tables? It really felt like we were packed in, especially when you have groups of people on your left and right. Tables need to be spaced out more. You can just barely leave your seat without your ass brushing against the neighboring table as you're getting out lol. read more

I loved my lunch here! The spring roll appetizer was filled with veggies and noodles and a great start to the meal. The chicken pad thai was just the right blend of noodles, chicken, sprouts, and veggies. Service was very friendly.

Ordered the thai fried rice lunch special. The chicken fried rice was fine. My son thought it was good but didn't like the taste of the eggs. I had the shrimp dumplings and it was delicious.

Been here a few times out of convenience. I've eaten at several Thai restaurant around NYC which have soo much more flavor and you can feel the fusion of the spices merge together in your dish, however that's not the case at Spice. This chain restaurant to me is a bit overpriced for the lack of food it serves. This particular location the customer service is inconsistent. They seem more pressed to get the food out and get to the next table. I had asked the waiter for the ingredients to a dish and was unable to speak on it along with another question later asked and still didn't know. This wouldn't be my go-to spot or recommendation for Thai food. read more

Absolutely awful noodle dishes. Ordered the Black noodle with beef, which is their take on pad see ewe, and all I could taste was black pepper. I look down, and the noodles are completely covered in black pepper flakes. This is not normally a heavy ingredient in this dish--so were they trying to hide other flavors...? read more

Definitely a fan of Thai food and Spice is one of my favorite Thai spots. This is my second time coming to this location and definitely happy I made the choice to come here for Vegetarian options. I also love on the menu there's a code for the vegetarian options this was super helpful ! Food: Being that I'm a newfound vegetarian I figured what better way to have veggies then thai. I got the vegan dumplings which were okay the plum sauce tasted a little burnt to me. -I also got the garden delight with a side of brown rice. It was good but way to salty, I could barely finish it. Drink: I loved loved loveddddd the fresh coconut water, the presentation had me thinking I was drinking an exotic after work cocktail. Definitely some of the best coconut water I have ever had. Decor & Experience: I love the dim lights, good music and amazing customer service this is one of my favorite things about this spot Definitely a great date spot and I hear the lunch special is amazing as well as the happy hour. read more

States they close at 10:30pm , we showed up at 9:25pm and did not wanted to serve us. Very disappointed!

Spice stepped up their game and added new dishes to their menu. As a hardcore lover of Thai food, this brings joy to my belly. Lmfao. I've been here a few times and generally pleased with the prices. Free appetizer which comes with their lunch special. Last time I went to visit, I ordered the lettuce wraps and this really spicy beef dish (can't remember the name.) Lettuce wraps were so fun. Good sized filling of chicken that was spicy and flavorful. The beef dish was certainly filling. It has a very subtle heat that creeps up on you well after you've finished your meal. Be very careful. It's nice to see a restaurant update their menu for their customers. That's more than enough of a reason to come back. read more

This is a solid, reliable Thai-American local chain, with locations throughout the city. They do a tremendous amount of volume and people are happy with the food. That said, the flavors are good, but not entirely authentic, spicy, or fish sauce-y. The service here is friendly but can be a bit cloying. For what it is, it's quite satisfying. The lunch deals are where it's at. You get an appetizer and a main dish. The tom yum soup is quite good and loaded with tofu. The pad thai and red curry are similar to other delivery spots = A-OK. My vegan colleague loves the black noodles here. Whether you dine in or get food to go, you have a consistent option here. It's a good option if you work in the area. read more
