    Crab fried rice
    C W.

    I was thinking to get dim sum across the street, but the guy didn't even want to serve me. He said he was short handed. I decided to walk across to the other street to get Thai take out. The place was very small. Price may be a bit higher, but the cashier was very helpful. She helped me to choose what best for me. I ordered crab fried rice and Thai ice tea. They were fast and got out of there in less than 5 minutes. The crab fried rice was delicious. Thai ice tea was the usual. I highly recommend and will come back whenever I'm in Manhattan area.

    Rad Nah chicken
    Steph C.

    The most disappointing takeout I've ever had. I scoured the city for Rad Nah because I grew up eating it. Paid $20 for it and it was the tiniest portion of noodles and NO Thai flavoring whatsoever. It was chicken soup. It was a few noodles with shredded chicken and sauce that tasted like unseasoned shredded chicken. I was so disappointed. Not worth the price at all.

    Drunken pad Thai
    Robert C.

    Nice little Thai spot. Friendly staff and pretty comfy sit in area. It's small but worth a spot to try.

    drunk man noodle with steak
    Vanessa M.

    Food (5/5) - Food is spicy here! For reference probably XFF mild for the pad thai and XFF regular for the drunken noodles. I enjoyed it, it was a very fragrant kick, not just hot / burn your tongue. Service (4/5) - Prompt, it's counter serve. Food came out in 10 minutes or so and there was space to sit all three of us, but could probably get crowded in busy times. Ambiance (4/5) - Cozy, has a counter lining the window and a big wooden table in the middle. Price (4/5) - Cheaper than your sit down restaurant, and the rice bowl deals were pretty good (12+) but a pad thai / pad see ew / fried rice is 14-16. Decent portion.

    Dead roach
    Savages for life m.

    First time coming in here, My mom wanted to try this place so bad, so we did and the first thing I notice are dead roaches on the floor. She bought 4 dumplings, a side of rice and one drink. $29 dollars and it tasted so regular. The dumplings were microwaved you could taste the freezer burn. When I was sitting down there was a FLYING roach climbing on the wall behind me and they had dead roaches in where they had their food. The service wasn't good. They didn't feel welcoming at all and they was talking bad about me because I was calling out of how dirty their place was. Don't come here be careful with the roaches.

    I was craving Thai food and saw this place near the office. It was just average from the food to the service. I didn't particularly like the slow cooked Thai beef over rice too much. The dressing on the salad was a bit much, too. Maybe their other dishes are better, but the one I got wasn't that great. Also, since this place is small, there should be a better distinction on the line. Where does one stand after they order, and where do you stand to order? It was quite confusing. All in all, I doubt that I'll be going back again.

    Wow, at first I thought I found a Gem. Been going to this place for a year now. Yesterday June 22, 2025. I ordered two things one was crispy basil fillers(onions and green peppers) very littleb basil and chicken nice spice at all. The other was Drunk Man Plate. Both had no taste and more fillers(sweet green peppers and onions eggs) very little noodles and chicken. This place has now turned from a Gem to Coal. Also check the food grade on this place and very bad. They do not post the grade anywhere in the restaurant. Please do not good here.....

    Pad Thai Plate w/ chicken
    Heidi M.

    You know a Thai spot is legit when the default spice level for a basic Pad Thai leans medium. I picked up lunch on Tuesday via Allset and had some credits so I scored a Pad Thai w/ Chicken for less than $11 which is so worth it. The famous noodle dish was a bit on the saltier side, but again I really liked the spice level (without having to request a specific level). I loved the casual-ness of the dining area - I decided to just eat my food there since it was pretty empty. They are pretty strict with checking for vaccine cards which I respect. The lady at the counter seemed very patient and kind and I'd definitely return to try their other menu offerings.

    Green Curry portion almost half of the container

    One of the worst places in the city. For the price they give fraction of portion. I mean as much as half of the regular portion you get elsewhere. In green curry you can count 2 tofu and 4 veggies that's it. Taste is not authentic either. Dont waste your money here.

    Ordered Catering from here for our week of catered foods and one of the days is thai food!! And honestly everything was delicious! We had the duck pad see ew, beef pad thai, tofu yellow curry, chicken satay, veggie spring rolls, pineapple fried rice and some thai salad. Everything was fresh! Staff from the restaurant helped us get everything together and set up, brought an abundance of utensils and everything absolutely loved every dish, there was NOTHING Left over. Will definitely order from here again! I have not one complaint of any of these dishes. High recommend. P.s the whole staff was extra in love with the yellow curry, spring rolls and the chicken satay!!

    Pad Thai Plate
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed visiting this spot! They serve a healthy, organic twist to thai food. The associate at the front was very welcoming and friendly. The dish was a lot more saucy that other places I've tried before, but it was a really neat take to it! Usually the noodles I've had were a little more dry. The chicken was also very fresh and delicious.

    Drunken Noodles, Spring rolls, and pad thai
    Karishma S.

    Not sure about these mixed reviews - Tam Sang is my GO TO thai place to order in the city. I know it's "fast casual" and a bit expensive, but hear me out... Their portions are top notch. Sometimes I can't even finish my meal in one or two sittings! I've feasted on Tam Sang 3 days in a row once lol. Also their spring rolls are super tasty, I love how crispy they are and love the sauce. Their Pad Thai is so good - super tasty, tangy, and also a bit spicy. Their drunken noodles are also amazing. Whenever I order from here, the food always comes quickly, and it's always really good. I highly recommend Tam Sang.

They had a very respectable pad see ew beef - sweet and savory, good amount of egg, a little stronger bitter broccoli but otherwise a good dish, good quantity to fill you up even though in the bowl it seemed smaller than it actually was with the rice noodle cooked well. The steamed sea bass with garlic and lime (Pla Neueng Manow) had beautifully cooked sea bass with a very nice spicy/sour/savory green garlic sauce which I'll have to try again. The fried version is supposedly very good, too, and the one person that always gets the basil fried rice had a wonderful aroma that we'll have to try again later. Mango sticky rice was a tasty dessert (although we probably didn't need the 3 orders they recommended for our table of 6), though usually like I like the purple rice version better, and came with a very cute shovel spoon. They gave a free birthday dessert of caramel delight which was ok, crumbly and sweet (I'm not a caramel fan but others liked it). Overall, good experience and solid food - while not the best Thai I've ever had, this certainly is a keeper for the Midtown East area. Will come again soon to try the lunch specials! Service was a little slow due to how busy they were, but do appreciate the birthday candle for the birthday friend!

Of course, we opted to try things that were out of the "norm". We started with the Khun Pan Pld Fashioned (which is old fashion with a Thai tea twist), of course, Thai iced tea, soft shell crab larb (omg so mouth watering) and the Pla Muk Tod (Fried Tumeric Coconut Calamari). These were new on the summer menu and I hope they stay! The dipping sauce in the calamari was sweet, tangy and syrupy with some heat but not too sweet. It was good without the sauce but with it, made it even better. The soft shell crab larb, wow, blew us away. The crunch and heat factor with the basil "salad" was out of this world. It is definitely spicy but is soo tasty. From their "privileged" menu, we had the duck chu chee which is a crispy roasted duck in a creamy mildly spicy red curry - the duck and curry was soo bomb, super crispy and stands out from other places. Finally the Royal Thai Spiced Lamb which is grilled lamb chops with karee curry sauce, snow pea tips and roti, sooo flavorful and so good. The veggies and the lamb paired so well with the curry sauce. It was not gamey or chewy but after all the appetizers I could not finish this dish.
