I have had a lot of Pad Thai at a lot of different places and THIS WAS THE BEST PAD THAI I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! The service was great! TK was amazing!! The place has a great vibe as well! read more

Grabbed a same-day reservation for lunch on a Sunday and came with a group of 4. We ordered: + Thai iced tea + Pla pla - shredded grilled salmon + Pak mor appetizer + khao soi chiang mai with chicken + pla nueng manow - branzino + Pad kee mao with vegetable + Thai tea flan + Coconut cake Pad mee mao was the highlight. Pak mor and branzino were also great. Desserts were meh. Overall liked it but I prefer Chalong and LumLum nearby. read more

Great Thai food in Hell's Kitchen with plenty of veg-friendly options. Taking off one star due to our time limit on our table and being very rushed out which was quite disappointing. I love how they offer mock duck as a protein option - the Kaeng Kiew Ped Jay (basically green curry with mock duck) was very flavorful, as was their Pad Se Ew with tofu. The Pak Mor was a delicious appetizer that leaned on the sweeter side, and the fried tofu appetizer was also very flavorful despite it being such a simple dish. The drinks here are very strong - I had the Lychee Martini. If you dine here, make a reservation so you're not rushed out like we were. read more

Nice ambiance and staff. Disappointment in duck as it was fatty. Dumplings had no taste. Fish was good. Been to better Thai restaurants. read more

The atmosphere is great. We walked in as 2 people but they seated us in the back in a space that could probably fit 4-6. It was a really cushy couch. We ordered the Nuer yang and the pad kee mao. The Nuer yang came with sauce and lettuce and cucumbers that added to the flavor. It was great! The servers were really attentive and would refill our water. We enjoyed it and would go back again! read more

We stopped by starving after work and have no regrets. All the employees we saw here were Thai. Our server, TK, was very enthusiastic and friendly! We ordered two appetiters, 3 entrees, Thai coffee and Thai iced tea. With our entire order, we were moved to sit in a 4 seat table to fit all our food! Everything we ordered here was amazing. It's been a while since I've been to Thailand but everything resembled Thailand here except the spice level - assuming that's to accommodate Americans haha. The butterfly pea rice dish was his favorite since it was different. I always enjoy the curry dishes but was drawn in by the lotus chips and cashew dish. Overall, great experience. We were seated immediately and the wait time for food was speedy. We will be back! read more

Manhattan, NY (Hell's Kitchen) - an intimate little spot with solid Thai food and interesting dishes on the menu that I would like to tour more of. The cooking is traditional and authentic with modern touches, and well presented. In hindsight, I wish I'd branched out more, as we accidentally stumbled into a mostly all-beef situation: one diner doesn't eat pork, I'm the only seafood enthusiast in the group, and the child needs something "safe" like pad Thai. The non-pork eater loved his nuer yang (grilled NY strip) which was tender if dainty. My nuer Panang (brisket in Panang curry) had a richly flavored curry, but the brisket itself didn't quite achieve that fall-apart tenderness I had hoped for. My husband's nuer nong kaeng kiew (beef shank in green curry) packed a nice kick with deeply layered flavor, though something tasted slightly off. Mom's pad Thai with chicken again had an excellent flavor, a touch sweet, though I prefer the noodles to be less saucy than this version. Tables are quite small so the dishes crowded the surface, but we made it work. Service was great. read more

Came here for a girls lunch and it did not disappoint. The crab roll (Hoy Jaw) was unique and full of flavor. The beef soup (Gao Lao Nuer) was the standout -- rich broth, super tender meat, and perfect for a cold day. Seafood dishes were also solid. The steamed seabass was fresh and simple, and the grilled seafood platter had generous portions. Dessert isn't on the menu, but what we tried was interesting and refreshing. The place gets busy, especially on weekends, but the food is worth it. read more

Walking into the location is a little tricky because there are two sides - the side we sat on was like a long hallway with no greeting table, so it's a bit unusual. The menu has lots of different options compared to other Thai places and the food is really tasty. Their dumpling appetizers with coconut sauce was amazing. It seems like it's run pretty bare bones, so the waiters work very hard here. Lighting is very dim here for atmosphere. They were very accommodating when I said I have a very bad spice tolerance and even offer to give me a different sauce for my salmon wrap. read more

Great restaurant for solid Thai food and a nice, intimate date. Amazing service and lovely ambiance. TK was the nicest and accommodated all of our requests. My favorite dish was the Moo Krob Kra Pao and the Tom Yum Mor Fai soup was delicious. The Rak Bua Tod was so simple but good, and the mushroom dip it comes with is unreal. The Thai Iced Tea is also great so don't miss out on it. read more

We ordered an UberEats pickup, and it was ready within like 5 minutes which was wild. The Kai Tod ($12) came with 5 to 6 pieces of Southern Thai style fried chicken topped with crispy shallot rings. They were actually pretty good. The Nuer Yang ($28) is a grilled NY strip steak with crispy chili garlic and cucumber on a bed of lettuce. The tamarind sauce was good, and the steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare. That said, we made the mistake of microwaving it later and it ruined the steak. This one is really best enjoyed in store since I wouldn't recommend ordering it for delivery or takeout. read more

Would highly recommend trying here sometime. It's one of the best Thai spots I've been to in the city, up against some fierce competitors. The Sai Ua (sausage) and Pak Mor (steamed rice roll) were both excellent appetizers and aren't items you see on every Thai menu in NYC. The entrees were just as outstanding--my personal favorite was the Fried Rice with crispy pork belly, as the meat was ever so flavorful and had the perfect texture. Service is friendly and super fast, and the ambiance is quaint yet relaxing. Definitely stop by sometime! read more

It's a cozy little place in an unassuming location. Service was prompt... a bit too prompt as they kept asking us to order right after seating us down. They give you a welcome drink right away as well which was a nice touch! We went for Saturday lunch hour and place was not packed so no reservations required I would say. Food came fairly quickly and was delicious. We got their Thai Iced Tea 3/5 Green Curry Fried Rice (Spicy & Wet) 5/5 Pad Kee Mao (Thai Spicy) 5/5 I would probably dial down to just Spicy on my next visit and skip the Thai Iced Tea. read more

Very solid Thai spot! Got the crab fried rice and 2 pork dishes. I don't remember what they are called, but one is their special pork dish and one is a pork app. The pork app was fried and just okay. But the other 2 dishes were great! Service was also solid and the ambiance was nice as well. There's not too much seating though so would recommend making a res during busy hours! read more

I loved the variety of the menu, and loved that Valla Table had a lot of unique items I haven't seen elsewhere. The staff was very friendly and were eager to provide their recommendations. I tried the Miang Salmon and it was super tasty! Loved all the dipping sauces. The salmon was cooked well, but was kind of a lukewarm temperature. We were also sitting right by the front door, so it's possible that as I was enjoying my meal with friends that the food just cooled down more quickly because of where we were seated. Otherwise, very solid food. Small, intimate environment but can get a bit noisy. Super friendly service, which is what made this place stand out. read more

I haven't been to a thai place in a while and I love all of the food options in Hell's Kitchen. My friend made a reservation which is definitely recommended. It's a small yet cozy place and poppin on a Thursday evening. The food came quickly and everything was very good. We did not eat family style but it was a good call. The portions are perfect not to be shared. Everything had a beautiful presentation and no complaints from any of us! Will love to go back and try more of the menu and drinks. read more

Valla Table is this little cozy Thai spot that has a bit of an upscale vibe. The staff is really friendly but definitely make a reservation as there are only a few tables. Their menu has quite a bit to choose from. I decided to try their Pad Kee Mao with beef - its drunken noodles. It was packed with flavor and spicy. The noodles were tender, and the dish had plenty of vegetables and beef. Overall, 4 stars. read more

We came here with friends from out of the country. Previously, I've ordered from this place for company lunches and the food was amazing. I finally had the opportunity to come here in person. Take out was amazing. The food in the restaurant was also out of this world. I felt adventurous and tried the Tia Pla set which the waiter wanted to see if I could tolerate. The food was incredibly spicy, but full of flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend the desserts which were not too sweet. The service was friendly and efficient. I would recommend making a reservation as the place is a little small. Overall a great place to take friends and family coming to the city! read more

Have been a couple of times now and everything I've tried is delicious. Their noodle dishes are great, the drunken noodles pack a good punch. Their curries are silky and come with a lil heater underneath so they stay warm. The service here is top tier and attentive without feeling like you're being rushed. A bunch of stuff here I still want to try! read more

We went to Valla Table for an early dinner before a Broadway show. The restaurant is quite small with a train car layout, so we chose to sit by the entrance for some privacy. However, I was disappointed to find out that they don't serve alcohol despite having different information online. Therefore, I deducted a star from my rating. Upon checking in on Yelp, we were offered Thai iced tea. As we were short on time, we skipped the appetizers and ordered the main entrees instead. We shared the crispy pork belly with fried garlic, grilled New York steak strips served with chili tamarind sauce, and crab meat fried rice. All the dishes arrived at once and we were pleased to find that they were flavorful and perfect for sharing. Our server added another table for us, which made our dining experience more comfortable. We thought that all the dishes were good and served in a timely fashion. However, I do hope that they have started serving alcohol as I believe that spicy dishes pair well with a glass of wine. read more

Personally I'm not sure why and how this place has so many good reviews ): There are so many Thai restaurants in NYC but this is probably one place I left feeling very disappointed. The space is tight, and there's a lot of menu options (appreciated that there's a lot of pictures so I didn't have to come digging in Yelp/Google). I thought the dishes were pretty underwhelming as it was either really salty or made me think I could make it at home ): They are pretty strict with the time limit and will kick you out so do keep that in mind! read more

Met up with two friends so requested a quiet area when making my reservation. When I got there I didn't realize that they had two spaces right next door to the other. The side that we sat on was small but we didn't feel on top of the other patrons. I ordred the Panang Jay medium spicy and when it came out it was in a bowl that they put atop a burning flame. It was perfect.. it was so cold out that no mattter that we had a wait a bit for the other food to come out mine was hot and tasty. It smelled so good my friend asked to taste it. they got the pad thai and the fish and they both loved the place. I would totally recommend! read more

Slightly upscale thai place in hells kitchen, definitely need a resy as it gets quite busy Great for date nights or special events, wait staff was very attentive and polite the whole evening We got the pad thai, pad kee Mao, and rainbow salad as recommended.

Nice spot for Thai food with an upscale feel. The restaurant is split into two buildings, with reception on the right. I walked in for dinner and was seated right away at the bar. Nice atmosphere inside, with noise at conversation level. Service was great and very friendly. You start the meal with a free cup of tea, which is apparently made from bell fruit. Sweet, rosy, and interesting. I ordered the Moo Krob Prik Kluer, crispy pork belly served in a piping hot plate with crispy bits of garlic on top, accompanied by rice and 2 sauces. The meat was great and tender, although the skin was inconsistently crispy. Tasted amazing when it was, but sometimes it was hard or gummy. By itself, the pork was somewhat simple, just salt and garlic, but you could add tons of flavor and spice with the sauces. Large menu, and I'd come back for other dishes. read more

Absolutely love this Thai spot in Hell's Kitchen area. It's not too far away from the busy Midtown/Broadway chaos but you wouldn't know. I appreciated how this spot had several unique Thai dishes to try (ie not just Phad See Ew or Phad Thai) and I hope to come back and explore more. Service was insanely quick. Almost felt rushed which is the only reason I took a star off. The ambiance is warm and inviting which was nice on a chilly evening. For food we tried Pak Mor per their recommendation and it was excellent! I absolutely LOVED the Khao Yum salad which they toss table side. So unique. It doesn't sound all that light but it still was. If you like spice try the Kaeng Som Goong. We got this and I made the mistake of initially saying something like "oh it's spicy but not numbingly spicy" Whoops! The spice level would grow and damn was it good. It is not for the faint of heart though. read more

Came here after checking out anime nyc. The food was okay. The size and portions for the price and quality was a bit disappointing. The steak too much seasoning over bearing. The appetizers were okay. The Thai iced tea way too sweet. Wagyu pho was a rip off and too sweet. The noodles were meh. Their house made tea was interesting also sweet. First time here and last time here. The place is very narrow. read more

The search was on for a place to take the kids to that would not break the bank and was not fast food. We were thinking a place with a lunch special and we landed here! They had a nice selection of lunch specials that would run anywhere from$12-$15, more or less. We tried the pad see ew, pad kee mao, thai fried rice and pad thai. All were delicious. I expected the pad thai to be boring, and thats what we got the kids and the thai fried rice. They both really liked the fried rice over the pad thai. I was surprised and thought the pad thai was excellent. Our other two noodle dishes were good and the portions were not crazy, nor were they tiny. I felt ok with the price point and the amount of food we got. I would def come back. read more

The food was tasty, spiced as described and cooked well, and served super fast. Our drinks took around 15 minutes to come, well after the food arrived. The decorations were nice and the music was lounge house, creating a cool ambience. But the space was very dark, very cramped, and they tried to seat us at a circular table of 4 in a corner when we had a reservation for 6. Overall unhappy with the service but the food was tasty as expected. read more

Nothing special. I wouldn't come back. It's expensive and not great flavors. Forgettable. The tofu app has so much butter garlic or something. Tastes burnt, but it's all in the seasoning. Kinda tasty but very dry. We got a noodle soup, because it seems like this place is mainly good with noodles. The pork belly was fine, the sliced meat was good. The middle egg-like thing wasn't tasty. Tasty soup and noodles tho. We waited a long time too, like 30+. read more

Booked a reservation for a Friday night. 1/2 the side is waiting for a liquor license, other has one. Was escorted to our seats, but some sort of confusion as the hostess said it wasn't ready. Later was offered a random table outside next to a closed store and declined. Finally got seated, they give you a welcome mini sip of tea which was good. Ordered the shrimp appetizer wrapped in noodles which was ok, not s as lot of depth to it. Had the pad kee mao and pad Thai. The pad kee Mao could have used more noodles and was too greasy, asked for it spicy and boy was it spicy. The pad Thai was sweeter so took some of that to mellow out the heat. read more
