THEP Thai Restaurant - Cashew King - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

A much needed end of the week girls meet-up. Reservations were made and are STRONGLY suggested. A CC is required and you must agree to terms and conditions upon making said reservations. One of those terms is that there is a $25/pp fee for late cancelations or no shows. **Given the rules, I think it would be nice if THEP informs everyone when they book reservations that there is a great likelihood that you will be seated at a communal table.** Upon arrival we were seat when 3 out of the 4 arrived. Yes, we were seated at the communal table, which was off putting initially because we were looking for a more private experience and opportunity to catch up. However, we powered through and made the best of it. Service started off shaky and rushed initially, with incorrect drink orders presented. However once we all settled in things improved. The food was good and the atmosphere was lovely. A few entrée dishes were unavailable and required a little flexibility in the night's taste palate. Overall Thep was enjoyable and I would like to return now that I know what to expect. Just A Note: If a communal table is not ideal I would suggest reaching out directly to the restaurant to see if something can be arranged. read more

We walked in without a reservation for dinner and were able to grab seats at the bar. The bartender lady and overall service from the team was friendly and I appreciated the attention to detail with my food allergies. We ordered a few different plates among which I found the steak was my favorite being cooked well and the rice being a good compliment. The Pad thai was good and as you'd expect from similar restaurants. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance and would be good for both dates and groups. They have outdoor tables as well. read more

I hate to say it, but this experience was subpar for me and my girlfriend, unfortunately. We made a reservation and most of us were there within the timing, but we were sat at a communal table, which was a huge disappointment. One of the reasons we picked this spot was because the reviews noted that is was a quiet spot and a good place to catch up. That was not the case. It was loud and we were a group of four people that were seated on the end of a long wooden table with about two other parties on the other end. The place itself was pretty and had a great aesthetic. I wish I could say the food made up for it, but unfortunately, I was not wow by what we had. One of their signature dishes, the duck dry pot, they did not have. I made a pivot and saw that they had crab fried rice, one of my all-time favorite dishes, and was super excited when I saw it came in a coconut shell. And although the dish was beautiful, it lacked a little something. It wasn't bad, it was just not as flavorful as others I've had. Not sure if this was an off night, if they were expecting this crowd given the nice weather, but I'm glad I had the company there. Otherwise I would've been really upset on the experience. read more

While looking for Thai food on the Upper East Side, I had THEP Thai saved on my list and decided to stop by based on the strong reviews. I arrived right around opening, so service was excellent throughout the meal and the staff was attentive and welcoming. The space itself is very pleasant, with hanging plants and warm, relaxing lighting that gives the restaurant a nice ambiance. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me, especially having been in Thailand fairly recently. Krapow Puff - 3/5: I'm usually a big fan of Thai curry puffs. This version was good, but I personally prefer a more traditional preparation. Pad Kee Mao - 4/5: Solid flavor overall, though the dish was a bit heavy on the onions for my taste. Green Curry - 3.5/5: The curry leaned more orange in color, which left me unsure if it was meant to be a classic green curry or the restaurant's own interpretation. Overall, THEP Thai is a decent option for Thai food in the area, but considering the price point and what you get, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to revisit. read more

Came here on a weekday dinner without a reservation and was able to be seated right away. They have smaller tables for 2 and larger tables for 4+. The vibe is dark, moody, elegant. The service was very good We got a starter (that I'm now forgetting the name of) that was excellent. The shrimp was well cooked and the sauce was great. I also got a cocktail which I thought was good. For mains we got the pad kee mao and massaman curry. Both were great! I personally wish the massaman curry would've been spicier but I like my food spicy. The portion size was decent too - we had some leftovers to take home. Overall I recommend and I'd definitely go back! read more

Delicious comfort meal! I had the spicy udon noodles with beef and the noodles were perfectly soft and chewy. The beef was super tender as well! Service was excellent- very attentive and detail oriented! Please try it if you're on the UES :) read more

THEP Thai Restaurant - Spicy Udon - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I came in to pick up my order and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. The staff member I interacted with was rude and not welcoming at all, which made the whole interaction uncomfortable. On top of that, when I got home, I noticed the container was only about half full, which definitely didn't feel like what I paid for. Hoping they improve both customer service and consistency moving forward. read more

THEP Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered takeout the other day from here after all the hype. I've been trying different Thai places around the city and this is how it stacked up; Thai Tea - 7/10 - could be stronger but not too sweet Pad Thai - 7/10 - thinner noodles, could be more flavorful read more

Came here with a friend on a Tuesday night. There was a slight wait. Started off with the Kra-pow puff ($15) which came in three with a sweet sauce and that combo together was tasty. I got the pad see eiw ($20) with chicken and it was solid. Service was good. Great Thai spot. I would recommend if you're in the mood for Thai. read more

I went to THEP with my partner for Valentine's Day and let me just say it was amazing! We made a reservation maybe a week before and there were still a few options for times. The restaurant itself is very nice and we both really enjoyed our dishes. I ordered the Khao Soi ($24), and he ordered the Cashew King ($22). I had never tried my dish before and it was so flavorful and delicious. It had a lovely depth of curry flavor and the crunchy noodles and red onion were great complements. The food also came out less than 5 minutes after we ordered it, which was insanely quick! Let me also shout out that they have Shirley temples on their drink menu! I love that so much because they're my favorite, and they wouldn't have to be ordered off menu! We will definitely be coming back, the food was really great. read more

I heard so many good things before coming to Thep, and it lived up to the hype. Firstly, it's noticeably clean, which always makes me feel better about dining out when I can tell a restaurant is serious about cleanliness. The service was excellent--each staff member was attentive and polite. I had a rose Thai tea that was extremely refreshing on a hot day, perfectly sweet, and rosey. Our appetizers were the spring rolls and papaya salad, both vegetarian but still very flavorful and hearty. I had the red curry with chicken, which was phenomenal. It was a very tolerable spicy red curry that paired well with the chicken and vegetables in the dish. I really loved my experience at Thep Thai, and I am looking forward to coming here again! read more

THEP Thai Restaurant - Red Curry with chicken that was - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Thep has an amazing menu, I will be going back to try more! The interior felt very trendy and modern, and the service was friendly. I enjoyed that they have many creative cocktail options. I had the mango sticky rice and appreciated the fresh mango flavor in the drink. For an appetizer, I got the chive dumpling massaman, and for the main dish, I had the khao soi. The dumplings were good, however I wish the curry was more flavorful and had a kick to it. In contrast, the curry in the khao soi was incredible! The dish has a mix of freshness from the vegetables and warm and hearty flavors from the chicken and noodles. It was one of the best dishes I've had in New York. read more

I have been a takeout fan of THEP for a while now, but this past week I finally got to eat in! The space was so much smaller than I always thought so I was glad we had a reservation. Eating in and sharing with friends I also had the opportunity to try some new dishes -- my favorite of which was the pineapple fried rice which was served in an actual pineapple. I look forward to coming back again soon! read more

This was a yummy vibey Thai spot, but for better pricing, more intimate ambiance and lower pricing I think you could get more authenticity / better service. We felt rushed by our server who had us order eveyrhting at once, and asked us mid bite if we wanted to take anything to go. The corn cakes are definitely the star! read more

Had a great time at Thep Thai Restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Our waitress "Som" did an excellent job. Food and ambiance was excellent!!! Will definitely come back here read more

First stop driving into the city at the recommendation of our host. Quiet space with a wonderful interior that allows 1-14 to dine easily. Eclectic decor and a great chef. Felt slightly overlooked by our waitress, but we got what we ordered as we ordered it. Tom Yum was phenomenal, shrimp dumplings were a great value. Pad See Eiw was amazing, all except the broccoli. The stems were very hard and the 'leaf' if you will was slimy and nearly impossible to swallow. read more

Thep has long been my go-to UES Thai spot. Their pad Thai, pad see-ew, and massaman curry are staples--they always hit the spot! I haven't dined in in years but have always been happy with pick-up orders. One thing is, I wish they had the option to get fried tofu for the noodles. read more

Maybe the best Thai food I've had in NYC! Absolutely everything was perfect! Highly recommend read more

I've been going to this Thai spot for years -- both dining in and ordering takeout -- and I've always loved it. The food is consistently delicious, the space itself is really cool and inviting, and they're incredibly accommodating when it comes to allergies or dietary needs. Their menu is clearly marked for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and they're always willing to adjust dishes, which I really appreciate. That said, during my most recent visit, the experience felt a bit rushed. Our server came over repeatedly to take our order, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy and we were still settling in with cocktails and appetizers. It didn't ruin the meal, but it was noticeably different from the relaxed, welcoming experiences I've had in the past. Despite that, the food was--as always--excellent, and this place remains one of my go-to Thai spots in the area. I'm hoping the rushed service was just an off night, because I've had so many great meals here and definitely plan to return. read more

SERVICE - located on the upper east side walking distance from the met - quaint interior with lots of plants and dim lighting - seating for groups of 2-4 - mild wait during busier periods - servers attend to the table quickly to get orders - food served relatively quickly - restrooms available for customers MENU - thai selection of classics and some modern fusion dishes - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price FOOD - chive dumpling massaman (8/10): four pandan infused rice crepes filled with chinese chives, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu in a creamy massman curry sauce. Visually, this is a work of art. The color contrast between the curry sauce and the rice wrappers is incredibly appealing. It was also a unique appetizer that I have not seen commonly; i wish there was more filling in each dumpling and that the dumplings were easier to pick up as the wide circular shape made them fall apart easily. But overall this was a great start to the meal and I would recommend ordering to share between 2-4 people. - massaman curry (8/10): choice of protein, sweet potato, avocado, onions, and peanuts in a spicy and sweet massaman curry base served with rice. The curry sauce is the same one from the appetizer which I was glad to get more of. I liked the sweet potato for creaminess and peanut for saltiness. I could have done without the avocado as I felt it did nit go well simmering in the warm broth. This is the only vegan curry option. - pad kee mao (9/10): stir fried wide rice noodles with choice of protein, bell pepper, and onion in a spicy chili sauce. This was exactly what I would expect out of a pad kee mao. When eaten hot, the noodles were coated in just enough sauce fir flavor but not so much that they felt oily. I would have liked it even more if it defaulted to coming with more vegetables but it pairs well with a curry for a complete meal. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The flavore were great and the ambiance was enjoyable read more

the food is great but the staff are rude and the atmosphere isn't enjoyable when they rush you to eat and clear the plates as you eat! and half of these REVIEWS ARE FAKE. They have a promo offering free thai iced tea if you leave a 5/5 review with 2-3 sentences WITH THE WAITERS NAME. I eat here often with friends and coworkers, so I decided to bring my family here. The woman in the front who wore a silk navy button down shirt had a disgusting attitude from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. I will break down the evening for you below. I did not realize they were closed for lunch 4-5 (usually come after 5) so we arrived around 4:30 and asked if we could just wait outside until they open. The woman who I assume to be the manager or owner in the front said sure and emphasized no service until 5. We said it was fine & ask if it was ok to wait/sit in the outdoor seating area (where we also planned to remain after 5pm) and she agreed. Throughout us sitting there, she came outside twice within 30 minutes. One time to pick up a fork on the floor with a baby dropped & we quickly apologized for (it didn't happen) & remind us that they are not serving until 5pm then AGAIN at 4:50 to remind us that they are not serving. She did this both times with a nasty attitude and even rolled her eyes at the baby with us while picking up the fork.Not once did we ask for anything before 5pm so I am unsure where the annoyance comes from. Again, if it was a problem to seat us - she could've said no! We live nearby - it would've been no issue. Instead our entire experience was shaped by this rude tone. Then again, she comes at 5pm on the dot and tells us "you have to stay seating here. there is no space inside." in a very NASTY tone almost as if we weren't allowed inside? It was also empty inside until we left. Nonetheless I made sure to tell her we were planning on staying outdoors anyway. When our server came, they were very abrupt and rude then slowly got nicer as they communicated with me. However they were rushing to clear the table as we were eating. It was uncomfortable and really rude to have your plate taken mid bite. This was by far the worst experience i've experienced at THEP and I have been a loyal customer for over 7 years. I am SO disappointed because the only difference between today and every other time was that I came with my baby brother. I'm not sure if it was an issue with the woman in the front or what - but this is a restaurant advertised for all ages so why would children be an issue? it is completely unacceptable. I can tell the staff were bothered or uncomfortable by the presence of my muslim american family. I get it, babies are a little extra but hold it together! You were a baby once too! That fork dropped ONCE before 5pm and we received disgusting tones and attitudes until 6:30pm. read more

Had a great meal at THEP Thai on the Upper East Side. The Tom Yum Shrimp Fried Rice was delicious--bold, spicy, tangy flavors with plump shrimp. The Khao Na Ped was also excellent, with tender duck. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive staff made us feel welcome, especially with the table . Modern, cozy vibe too. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back when I travel to New York again. read more

Fantastic Thai food. I came with a group for a birthday and everyone enjoyed their food- vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The Thep platter (several varieties of dumpling/wonton, spring rolls, and scallion pancakes) and cocktails were especially big hits. The service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. My only complaint is that my group of 5 had to sit in the center of a ~15 person table. It was kind of hard to get in and out and was otherwise cramped. read more

Nice Thai spot in the UES, open on the later side. We were seated quickly without a reservation, although we came later in the evening. The cashew king was flavorful, although the rice portion was too small to match the dish and we found ourselves wanting more. The pad Thai was cooked well, one of our top ones in nyc so far! The texture was good, it was saucy and sticky, flavorful and a generous shrimp portion. The bok choy was meant to come with oyster sauce but the sauce was lacking, couldn't really taste it. Was a large portion though. Overall, will come back! read more

Restaurant was super accommodating by letting us sit a bit earlier than our reservation - even on a busy Saturday night. Our server Minnie was also fast so we got our food with little wait! We ordered the tom yum soup, pineapple fried rice, pork belly rice, and branzino. Our group's favorite dish was the pork belly rice. Highly recommended this restaurant! read more

We were seated with a party of 6 no reservation and no wait on a Saturday night. The food was delicious all around. We all ordered a variety of dishes (pad Thai, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, and Khao Pad Mun Nua) and Everyone's plates were left clean. The meat in the Khao Pad Mun Nua was so flavorful and tender. The dishes are a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors are great and the portions are solid. We did get confused about the drinks-thought the rose/lychee Thai iced teas had milk like the regular Thai iced tea, but they don't. Still tasty though. read more

Average food, small place, pricier than normal. Given all the other Thai places in NYC, this place doesn't make the cut. read more

Thep Thai is an absolute standout not just for its delicious food but also for its surprisingly amazing cocktail menu. The drinks are artistically crafted, with each one looking like a work of art. Hats off to the talented bartender! As for the food, it was delicious! I started with the Papaya Salad and the Thep Platter which was a mix of different starters that gave me a little taste of everything--perfect for sharing or if you love variety. For my main, I had the Pad See Ew, and it was absolutely delicious. read more

My only other visit was wayyyyy back in 2018 when they just opened; they've definitely gotten so much busier (and cramped) since! Food was better than I had remembered. My massaman curry with bone-in chicken (no actual bones though) was really good! The sweet potato and avocado garnishes were unexpected but thoroughly enjoyed. The seasonal mango sticky rice cocktail was also really good. Other than the tables placed way too close to each other, everything else was great. read more

Loved finding a new Thai spot to add to my rotation of Thai restaurants! I had the shrimp spicy udon noodles. The spice level was really good (though if you don't tolerate spice it may be a tad too spicy for you), the udon was the perfect texture, the shrimp was really tender and flavorful. I also had their seasonal watermelon mocktail, it was super refreshing and perfect for this summer heat. The service was really quick, staff knew the menu items well and were able to provide great recommendations. The interior was nicely decorated as well, had an upscale mini tropical feel. Will definitely be back especially when I'm near Central Park. read more

THEP Thai Restaurant - Spicy Udon - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

walked in on saturday early afternoon and the restaurant was already quite full. the tables are rather small and the lighting is slightly too dim to see much, but the food was extremely tasty. the tables were very close to one another, so be prepared to hear the conversations of other guests! extremely welcoming staff, but was hard to get their attention. my favorite dishes here were absolutely the hoi jor and pad see ew. the hoi jor was paired extremely well with a sweet sauce, and the pieces themselves were pretty large. I was filling up just after the app! we also got the branzino, which I would have preferred broiled/grilled rather than fried, and the massaman curry. I've never had massaman w avocado slices, but my boyfriend loved the pairing. both my boyfriends and I's stomach hurt pretty bad after this dinner, but was tasty regardless. Quite pricy, I'd prefer to eat at Tha Phraya a few blocks up. read more

We came here last minute and thankfully they were able to accommodate us. I did not like my chicken khao soi. It was too sweet. The pineapple fried rice was good. The decor was nice. The place was pretty busy. read more

This is a must try in NYC. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've eaten here (pad Thai, drunken noodles, crab & basil fried rices, satay, pad see ew, thep platter, curry). Also for as busy as it can get, I've never had any trouble getting a table at the last minute or with their waitlist. Definitely recommend getting the THEP platter as a starter to try a bunch of their best apps! read more

Elegant decor and inventive Thai dishes await your visit at this busy UESider, where you can't make reservations and need to sign up in a waiting list. We went at a weird time (4pm) on a Sunday afternoon and didn't have to wait. By the time we left, a few people were already waiting for a table (even at 5pm). Expect a rushed service. Although they're not rude, they constantly come to your table making sure you order as fast as possible. We were asked 4 times if we were ready to order, and it only took 10 minutes to navigate their menu for our choices. The food came in less than 2 minutes, even the entree. It wasn't steaming hot, but it was good nonetheless. Spare ribs: tender and really yummy. Listed as "bites" on the menu, it's a sizable portion of 4 succulent skillfully marinated pork spare ribs. Get them. Crispy calamari: I had to order this for my 6-year old daughter who would eat little else. They were fine. Seared duck in red curry: very good. $30 well spent. Somehow, pineapple and lychee work perfectly in this sweet red curry. The duck is brought perfectly medium rare and you'd bathe in that curry sauce if you could (luckily there's plenty). Overall, it's not a cheap meal ($70 before tip for just those 3 dishes), but the ribs were delicious and the duck something I'd never had before. They have lots of dishes I'd like to try, so I think I'll go back to try some. But don't go if you want to take your time eating: they're fast and furious. read more

Good ambience and food. We got seated very quickly for a table of 4. The servers are also very quick and polite.

We made a reservation for a quite a large party and were lucky they were able to make accommodations. They warned that there would only be a 10 min grave period after our reservation before they let the table go. When most of our party arrived, they were able to seat us at a long table. Due to the space, it was shared with a smaller party but no big deal. There were so many dishes to choose from. I ended up sharing a pad kee mao and green curry. The pad kee mao was a tad too sweet for me but overall flavor profile was good with bits of beef and veggies throughout the dish. I enjoyed the green curry with chicken -- it had a good savory, lemongrass, coconut milk flavor that melded well together. The restaurant was pretty busy during this time but I appreciate the staff's patience with our large group. read more
