honeywhatscooking.comDecember 12, 2015Flavorful food. Loved everything. Papaya Salad to Drunken Noodles to Chicken Chili Thai Basil. Well made, chicken was cooked to perfection and not stinky as in some other places. Lychee Martini great!
Beware of the spice level! Stick to mild or maximum medium. Have their pad thai, green curry, papaya salad, tom yum soup and drunken noodles. Savor the flavor, excellent food.
Geoffroy BablonFebruary 9, 2013I went for spicy, felt slightly bullish about it, confident about my taste receptors. And now I feel like a dragon that got kicked in the balls. The food is amazing, but don't overestimate yourself.
Great lunch special. Authentic. Best Pad Thai. Spring Roll, Drunken Man Noodle and Kai Kua - all awesome. Order mild and spice to your liking with condiment tray. Food is HOT.
SavoredSpoonNovember 8, 2014The green curry and pad thai! Other vegetarian options are yum too, and they are accommodating for other dietary restrictions (no garlic, onion, root vegs, etc). Also, spicy really means spicy!!
Can't go wrong on this menu - drunken noodles, red curry, and chicken pad ga prow are especially good. But be careful with spice! Even medium is quite hot
PhillyMay 21, 2013Great food, nice atmosphere but I don't know what the whole dried chillies (with seeds) have to do in my food - HOT!!! the Mochi Flight is the best pain relief... :-)
Connie WilliamsJuly 24, 2022The soft shell crab is so good, omg!! But their coconut shrimp are delicious. Get the whole fish lava sauce. It’s is amazing!!!
Most authentic Thai food you can find in NYC and when they say spicy they mean it! Recommend Tom yum Kum, golden rock calamari, pad Thai and pad chili with onions
hands down the best thai in manhattan. get the naked shrimp appetizer! taste/price can't be beat or even compared. oh, and extra spicy is deadly; stick to medium!
TanyaOctober 29, 2012I came here straight from the gym (yelp said it was casual!) and they treated me like all the other suits. Small, intimate spot with great red curry.
Nat EliasonSeptember 1, 2014The chili and basil with chicken was amazing. Only order it hot if you have an extreme tolerance for spicy food--they're not messing around here.
Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Jungle curry, pad Thai and papaya salad. Love that they are the one restaurant that can make super spicy Thai food.
Kevin SkobacOctober 20, 2011Some of the best Thai food in the city. And *trust* them when they say "medium spicy = super hot" because they mean it.
Amit JotwaniMay 2, 2014Pay attention to the tips. Medium = Super Hot. No exaggeration. Excellent food though. Pad Thai + Chilli Basil absolute worth trying.
Great Thai food amid the Murray Hill chaos! Be warned, they are NOT joking around when they say it's spicy.
Chintan ShahNovember 5, 2017Pad Thai noodles , Tom Jha soup and red Thai curry. Very spicy so just be careful
Amol KJune 2, 2015Medium spice is actually really spicy. Get the drunken noodles and volcanic tom yum.
Mona DJune 10, 2012Unequivocally the Best Thai in Manhattan. Oh yeah, don't exhale near an open flame after drinking the Thai Zombie.
AmritOctober 14, 2012Def try their Tom Yum soup !! Served with flame shooting from the center of the bowl. Dramatic & delicious :)
Vivian VoNovember 23, 2014Squid salad, eggplant appetizer... Super crowded for weekend dinner though
Piyush PardeshiSeptember 13, 2014Ever in this area... Dont miss this restaurant. Best Thai food I ever had!!
Bo Beyer-JohnsonMarch 15, 2015All the noodle dishes are great. Go mild unless you really know what you are doing.
The eggplant. The eggplant. The eggplant. You won't regret it.
Rumana SiddikyMay 4, 2015This used to be some of my favorite Thai in the city but it seems like the chefs have changed - it's really gone down hill.
Andrew CJanuary 24, 2017Shrimp spring rolls were the only enjoyable dish... pad Thai was bland and chicken pieces were miniscule + ginger sauce chicken dish was wayyyy too saucy and some parts were undercooked
Stephanie MoyersJanuary 4, 2014Incredible Thai! Really accommodating to Gluten Allergy an GF requests
Mike PanMay 25, 2011Finally, they made it very spicy the way I like it. She warned me, but I told her I wanted it spicy like her. It was awesome!
Mike HOctober 9, 2012Really good stuff, but order dishes mild if you don't like spicy. The medium was incredibly hot
सिद्धार्थJanuary 30, 2016I ordered the drunk man noodle with chicken extra spicy. It was extra spicy. 👍
MUST get the chicken in special sauce. It's a hidden item on the menu. Super delish & addictive!
- one of the better Thai spots around the Murray Hill area, especially compared to ThaiNY next door
The food is good but $20 for an order of tom yum soup? It's not THAT good.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Long list of tempting appetizers include deep fried fish cakes and Chinese sausages with lime and chilis. - Inspector
Rachel ZhengNovember 14, 2011the TomYum soup is amazing here. plus the pot it comes in lights up on fire in the middle!
Stefan GlueckMarch 1, 2016Excellent service. Effective organization food is OK. At least dishes we tried.

"This place is really good. Nice to have a new spot that is not Northern style (which I love as well). Shrimp. Ink soup. Curry. Chicken and basil. All good."

"A two-story eatery in Hell's Kitchen serving up solid Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Their lunch special, with includes two courses for $9, can't be beat."
