AlexOctober 2, 2016trendy place with a cute interior and nice bar section. great + fast service. must-gets are: coconut crab curry, fried chicken, grilled pork, & fried branzino. the mango sticky rice cocktail is solid.
AmateurConciergeOctober 18, 2016Finally another super high quality Thai offering! Calamari is lightly fried and delicious. Crab fried rice rivals Uncle BoonsUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Insanely spicy and quite delicious new Thai spot with authentic ways like coconut crab curry, the pork starter, and the greens side dish.
Mike WinstonJuly 21, 2017Damn good Thai food with a specialty in seafood-focused dishes. Crab Curry and Crab Fried Rice are outstanding and loaded with a ton of crab. Dollar oyster happy hour is great too. WinstonWanders.com
David ZhangJanuary 2, 2017Prefixe is the way to go - everything was great. Reminded me of Burma Superstar. Watch out for the peppers though.
Kiwi WangApril 17, 2018Super authentic! Pork cheeks were a yummy surprise for starters and all the seafood mains were amazing. Bright punchy flavors and friendly staff.
CharlottesMay 29, 2017I've been craving the fresh flavors fish cheeks delivers. The chefs selection for 3 is a great deal and more than enuf food for 4, maybe 5. Calamari was my fave, followed by crab curry.
Rose AhnJune 7, 2017The food is solid but it doesn't make up for the disappointing service from the hostess. But do order the crab curry (really spicy), the pork and shrimp noodles, calamari (👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻), and any fish!- Chris BurchSeptember 29, 2016Fantastic Thai food. I love the name of the restaurant. I've been told fish cheeks are the best part of the fish- tender meat! #nopadthai
T ZMarch 18, 2018Best Thai meal I’ve had in New York! Grilled pork cheeks and coconut crab curry are must orders. Can’t wait to come back to try a load more dishes.
The most versatile restaurant ever: casual enough for a weeknight catch-up sesh with friends, nice enough to bring your parents. Family style! Coconut crab curry!
Love this place both for takeout and for dining at their outdoors set up. The crab curry and the corn salad are my faves.

Ami H.September 17, 2016Lofted by the chuggable nam jim seafood sauce, the smoky Grilled Porgy pairs well with a pakboong side. Nicely lit, open space. Ima come back and steal that washroom faucet.

Vivian RamirezJanuary 26, 2017I went back for more! Shrimp and pork belly noodles! Curry fish not to be missed! Calamari so delicately fried it tastes like a zeppoli !
AditiJuly 7, 2020The apps were actually my favorite! Oysters, poached shrimp, and corn salad were my favs. You can’t go wrong w the baked fish either
Liza FrybergerOctober 6, 2018Everything we had here was great. Highlights were the full snapper - herbaceous and sweet, and the fiery fried chicken wings. Spicy mango cocktail on the side = magic.
Marianna FierroNovember 27, 2018Steamed fish and crab curry were phenomenal. Wish there were more veggie sides as the corn salad and sautéed cabbage were amazing.

Marie La RueJuly 4, 2021Flavorful Thai cuisine. Enjoyed Corn salad, Veggie green curry and Crab curry. The latter was a lot spicier than we expected!
Marcie TranJanuary 12, 2019Not as spicy as some people are saying.. if you're familiar with southeast Asian food it's a comfortable level of spice!
Janis HuangSeptember 20, 2018Happy hour 5-7pm is great for $1 oysters and discounted cocktails. Standouts were crab curry, crispy calamari, and morning glory. Decent whole fish too.
Chez OngNovember 2, 2016The steamed branzino was excellent! Though they run out of reservations pretty quick they take walk-ins and if u get there on the early side u should be able to snag one of the tables they set aside.
Ra JangAugust 12, 2017Generous portion. Paradise for lemongrass and cilantro lovers. Crab meat fried rice, Tom Yum and fried pork were excellent
- JoyceDecember 19, 2022Great spicy mango cocktail, but skip the thank you kha if you want something tart b/c it’s more lemongrass flavor. Great oysters and rice salad appetizers!!
Obsessed with the shrimp sao nahm, clams with sweet basil, crab aob woonsen and morning glory
M HOctober 22, 2016Authentic and really tasty Thai dishes. It's recommendable to book a table, the place is quite crowded.

Sam GilMarch 25, 2019One of best meals in nyc. Crab fried rice and Thai steamed fish both perfect. Pork cheek also great. Wings very nice. Coconut curry solid.

Giulia PratiFebruary 19, 2017The Namtok pork, coconut crab curry, and fried calamari were some of our favorites! Perfect blend of flavors: sweet, sour, and some heat! 💥
Bradley KayMarch 11, 2017Short menu chock full of the spicy, sour, sweet flavors of great Thai. Frequently changing specialties well worth ordering. Shockingly empty for weekend lunch.
Adam RiceJune 27, 2017Make sure to get the crab curry, branzino, and woon sen noodles. The desserts (mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream) are also great.
Nicole RocchioJune 10, 2021Fried wings, coconut crab curry, crab fried rice are incredible - also recommend spicy mango cocktail
Lili BazFebruary 22, 2020$1 oysters and $10 cocktails during happy hour! The crab fried rice and coconut curry were delicious!

Mark MunroFebruary 16, 2018Oysters are delicious as is the orange sour curry, pork cheek, and calamari. I found the coconut crab curry to be underwhelming.
