    Spicy Thai Basil Cheesesteak
    Wajhi K.

    Snuck in on a rainy Sunday, wanted the breakfast and added the cheesesteak because everyone raves about...it's a star. It's freaking amazing. The breakfast sandwich became an afterthought, that sandwich let me tell you. Flakey light bread, top notch Thai seasoning, good spice, perfect bites and needed nothing. Worth a visit just for that

    Mango shake and pandan coconut shake (until 4pm)

    We have been hearing the hype about this place for a while now. Did it live up to the hype? Unfortunately yes. Why unfortunately? Because now we are going to have to go into the city again soon, and traffic is such a pain and paying congestion fee is annoying. But it is so worth it! We ordered the Thai Diner egg sandwich, crab fried rice, Thai disco fries, phat see ew, khao soi and Yum Kai Hua Pli. This was for 3 people but we wanted to try everything. We also ordered a mango shake and the Pandan coconut shake. The shakes and the egg sandwich are only available until 4pm and the egg sandwich and pandan are worth getting here early! As for rest of food, the highlights were the disco fries, khao soi and I will be dreaming of the crab fried rice for a while. Make sure to pour some of the citrus sauce on the fried rice. The acid really complements it: it is not like the rest of dishes were bad, just that those are must gets. We will be back to try some more.

    3.5 stars Thai Diner is good but may be slightly overrated. I went on a Tuesday night and there was a 45 minute wait (we only ended up waiting 30 minutes). We sat outside where they don't serve alcohol and got eaten alive by bugs. The food was very good and had a very fresh feel, including the papaya salad and pad thai with tofu and vegetables. The wait time for our food was longer than most Thai places and our entrees came out 10 minutes apart. I am not sure why Thai Diner is so popular since the food was on par or below other Thai restaurants that don't have long to waits and better service. While I enjoyed the food and it was good quality, I would not come back again. There are so many amazing Thai places in the city that have equal or better food and don't have a long wait or incessant bugs.

    Our second time coming here and it never disappoints! Thai brunch here is incredible This time, we opted for the crab fried rice with the spicy green chilli sauce which was DIVINE. a must order for sure The pad see ew was good as well but a bit on the sweeter smokier side The Thai iced tea was just ok! A bit bitter and watery but it was okay!

    Lobster omelette and Thai diner egg sandwich
    Dorothy Y.

    It's solid but not worth me waking up at 7am to get here for their 8:30am opening. My friend and I shared: thai diner egg sandwich, thai tea babka french toast, lobster omelette which is the order of my ranking and the order I ate them. Thai diner egg sandwich is a great comfort savory item. The egg is fluffy and cheese adds funk and creaminess without being too heavy. Thai basil jumps out at various bites to diversify the flavors. The sausage was more of a background item here but in a way I appreciate how it wouldn't overpower the others in a way that some sausages may with their spices. The dish comes with a red chili sauce. We have no idea what type of sauce it is but it was spicy yet we kept going back for more. It packed so much umami. I also like how they use roti for the bread here since it has a nice chew without tiring my jaws or chipping my teeth. The french toast was made well for not being too sweet or oily. I like how they spread thai tea filling inside before rolling the dough like a cinnamon roll. The thai tea butter was too heavy and not strong enough in flavor to be worth adding. I just added a little to try. The condensed milk was also not too sweet but not really needed. Lobster omelette basically had a lobster on top of an omelette with red curry poured over it. I'm not sure what I was expecting instead but this seemed to be disappointing. I think it's more expensive just for the lobster which it is nice but I'd rather have other more unique items. The egg was overcooked. The red curry tastes good but a bit too salty for me even after eating it with the rice. They gave a lot of rice. It was in a satisfying spherical shape.

    Thai Diner is one of my favorite Thai places in NYC! Although they're more of a Thai-fusion place. I came here around 8:30 on a Friday night and was able to get outdoor seating within 5-10 mins. I had their crab fried rice, pad see ew, and a lobster fettuccine. I would say the fried rice was my favorite! I would also say the fettuccine is on the spicier side. To finish, I had their coconut sundae. So I really like the coconut gelato itself, but I wish there was more gelato. There's quite a bit of whipped cream and you do have to dig quite a bit before you can actually reach the gelato.

    Thai Disco Fries
    Nakia A.

    Came on a Friday at 3pm and was so happy to be seated right away (party of 4)! The restaurant feels like you travelled internationally which adds to the ambiance. Service was great, the server described the entire menu and gave us great recommendations. We ordered... - Thai Disco Fries (5/5) AMAZING!! - Uncle Boon's Crab Fried Rice 4/5 - Crispy Snapper with 5 Flavor Sauce 4/5 - Khao Soi (5/5) - Phat See Ew (4/5) Amazing food - worth the hype!

    Visit June 2026: The family voted and our first meal was definitely our favorite meal on our summer NYC trip. This place is FUNKY, HIP, and hella POPULAR. We thought we'd try to sneak in for an early dinner. Told 45 minutes wait and it was raining too. Okay, we bit the bullet, gave our cell, and proceeded to walk the neighborhood. We got about three blocks away and we were called! YIPEEE! Furniture has a tropic rattan vibe. Lots of plants. For some reason Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom crossed my mind lol. Thankfully there was not monkey brains on the menu. What was on the menu was an eclectic fusion of Thai based dishes. Coconut Chicken Thailandese: recommended by our super friendly and attentive server Joey. Juicy chicken cutlet with a coconut crust like Milanese style. 5* Khao Soi: Recommended again by Joey but this a dish we are familiar with so had high expectations which were met! One daughter isn't a fan of curry but she is willing to try and she absolutely loved it. 5* Uncle Boon's Crab Fried Rice: Another recommendation but a dish I usually am wary of bc you never know just how much crab you're going to get. Thai Diner was very generous. And not just shreds. Literal chunks. 5* Phat See Ew: Our pick. A staple for our family and this one was excellent. 5* Larb: Our pick. We do like Larb and had this ordered with mushrooms. Medium heat. This one was "off" to me. We usually get mock duck when we get Larb but that wasn't available. The mushrooms were way too earthy for me and the dish was salty imo. Should have gotten chicken. They also do it with duck but ironically Joey said the duck is too salty for him. 3* Drinks: I had the Mr.Banana which had bourbon, Giffard Banana liqueur, Disarrono, and Campari. All booze, no brakes lol. This was awesome! 5* We were pretty full so we passed on dessert though the menu looks tantalizing. Very interestingly they also open for breakfast (I don't know of a Thai place in SD that does breakfast) and serve interesting creations like Thai French Toast. If we had stayed longer in the area we probably would have come back for that. As mentioned, Joey was a fantastic host. He chatted a bit and was excited when we mentioned this was our first meal on our first night of the trip. I felt he really took it upon himself to make sure we understood the menu and was quite thrilled that we loved his recommendations. A great stop!

    I swear by this egg sandwich and it never misses for breakfast/brunch. Wrapped neatly and cut into two satisfyingly equal triangles, the sandwich holds a hefty combo of soft scrambled custardy eggs, the best Thai sausage you'll have EVER in a breakfast sandwich, and a few Thai basil leaves that really hold its own against the other bold flavors happening in the sandwich. The roti has a slight doughy chew to it, which you need in a sandwich like this to hold everything inside, and is given its structural integrity from the griddle lightly browning the crust. Beware! Some of it will ooze out, which is a good sign--it means they packed it just to its limits. The sauce will get on your fingers and that is a good thing, because it really is finger-licking good. Every bite is another surprise and its own experience. The sausage is herbaceous, the eggs run like lava, and even the last tiny remaining folds of the roti dipped in the sauce (a little goes a long way) is its own worthy statement. WAIT TIME: If it is a party of 2 or more, I've had the wait to be 2 hours for dinner on a weekend. Would recommend swinging by 2 hours before you actually want to eat to hold your spot and carry on with your day around Lower Manhattan. But at 10am on a weekend, and you just want to do solo breakfast--which I'd highly recommend--they can get you a bar seat for walk-in instantly.

    Thai Diner has been on my NYC to-do list for a few years. I was shopping in Soho on a Monday and walked in at lunchtime and sat right down at the bar. How cool is that? After some deliberation I went with the Cheesesteak Phat Bai Horapha (Spicy Ribeye Steak with Chiles, Garlic, Thai Basil & Cheese in a Hoagie Roll) served with French Fries. I want to try multiple things but I am just one person and decided I'd have the most FOMO if I didn't try this. It was delicious. The ribeye was tender and it had a pleasant heat. The fries were perfectly cooked. The bread was perfect. Hopefully I'll get back to try more things. Nice service at the bar.

    Thai Disco Fries

    Thai Diner was one of the restaurants I eventually wanted to check out in NYC, but I knew securing a table was difficult. I was in a party of 3 on a Friday night, and we were quoted 45 mins. It was around double that, which was a bit frustrating because we were getting really hungry. When we finally were seated, I was amazed at the decor throughout the restaurant. It was so immersive! Service was wonderful, food came out fairly quickly, and our water glasses were always filled. I loved their limeade, it was sparkling and super tart. We shared the disco fries, which were incredible - super flavorful and unique. For my entree, I ordered the green curry fried rice with tofu - it was a little spicier than I expected (and I can do spicy pretty well), but the tofu was arguably the best I've ever had. I will return and hope to try more selections! Thai Dinner was great and definitely lived up to my expectations. Taking away 1 star for the long wait because I understand it isn't 100% accurate, but over 2x the quote is a lot.

    Coconut sundae and Monster Coffee Chiffon Cake. Get them both!
    Glen N.

    Normally this would be the place to go, not for great Thai food, but for fine Thai food. For "not far away" Thai food. However... small, overpriced bland pad Thai aside, this dark, hip place is special because it has some inventive food. We came for the Instagrammable "Disco Fries": a spicier, more Asian-er curry plate of fries, and they did not disappoint. The pad Thai was in need of heat and the acidity of an extra lime, but they offer fried chicken as a fun, crunchy, hearty upgrade. And if you are up for dessert, the coconut sundae (which is no fun after you eat the topping half) and the monster coffee chiffon cake (good, but very rich) are B- items on their own, but order them (and eat them) together and it's a deconstructed A+ dessert.

    Khao Soi (vegetarian)
    Renee B.

    I love this place. From the atmosphere and decor, to the menu, to the staff and service, my visit was excellent. I definitely want to return to try other things from this inventive menu and also to try their breakfast options. I dined in for lunch and had vegetarian Khao Soi and the Thai Disco fries. There are lots of vegan and vegetarian option to choose from. The food was delicious and the fries were cooked perfectly. Every dish that passed by me looked impressive in presentation. If you are in the area, definitely try this place. You don't need a reservation, just try going slightly off of the normal busy dining times and on the weekdays to avoid the long wait.

    When do they open reservations for the next week? Looks like it only books for 7 days ahead.

    What is the difference between the outdoor dining and the patio outdoor dining?

    They have an indoor space with very large windows that open--the patio? They also have an outdoor pavillion and some tables on the street as well.

    Does anyone know if the disco fries are vegetarian?

    They are!

    Is there restrooms?

    Two unisex bathrooms inside the restaurant

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!

I also tried a little bit of the crab fried rice which was also incredible. I also ordered the lychee mocktail. The drink itself was fairly average, but it came with a lychee mochi that completely stole the show. I honestly enjoyed the mochi more than the drink itself. Overall, this is just good, no-nonsense Thai food. Nothing feels overly gimmicky. The restaurant focuses on solid flavors, a beautiful space, and warm hospitality. I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu.

For appetizers, we ordered the Sate, curry puff, chicken dumpling and shrimps. Everything was on point. The main course was the shrimp dish, chicken and tofu panang was our favorite. The fried rice and pad tai were just about okay. We ended the night with free celebration dessert my loved ones birthday celebration
