Stopped in on our way home on a snowy/rainy-ish wet Sunday evening. Back room was pretty busy, with one large party and a couple of other tables filled; front room had one occupied table; this was around 6:30. By the time we left, maybe 45 or 55 minutes later, it was packed! We had a simple dinner: edamame to share as our appetizer. This is a bowl filled with perfectly cooked edamame, lightly salted by restaurant standards, and we prefer it that way. Tasty! Then we shared 2 entrees: the Vegetable Trio, with eggplant, green beans and snow peas in a black bean sauce; and spinach in garlic sauce. This was a good-sized mound of obviously very fresh sautéed spinach with some garlic cloves. Usually the veg trio is spicy but my husband likes only mild spice, so this was good but I think would have been better with a "kick." Both we requested with brown rice. We ate every bit and headed back out into the slushy snow, satisfied with the spur or the moment dinner!

Was so excited to try this place on a friends recommendation. We got last minute reservations on a…read moreSaturday morning. The restaurant was quite empty. We were one of three couples dining in. It took them some time to get us seated, which wasn't a big deal since there were just two servers and no host per se so we assume they were busy. The good part - Food was a 3.5/5 maybe even a 4 overall. We got seated and got to appetizers - tried the5 soup dumplings, crab and truffle soup, and lychee shrimp. Presentation was good and taste was okay too. For mains we got the lobster udon and salt and pepper tiger prawns, both of which I liked. It was good comfort food for a particularly cold day. The food served was also nice and made sure we were doing okay. Now the bad - there were gnats flying all over which made me wonder how bad the kitchen was. The tables at the end of the room had a lot of junk (cleaning supplies and table cloth bundles) stowed on which made was very unappealing. The worst bit - we had not had the worst time and left a 22% tip. An hour later I received a phone call saying that my card had been declined and asking me for my card details. Thankfully I was able to log into my account and could see the transaction. I then asked them how much the bill amount was and what I had ordered - they told me an order completely different from mine. I'm glad I pushed back coz initially the person who called was pretty aggressive and rude about how my card had been declined and didn't want to wait for me to check my statement either. Having figured out their mistake they then quickly hung up - no apologies or explanation!! All of this left a terrible taste in my mouth. Overall, I don't think I'm going to return. If you go - beware of the gnats and please don't give them your credit card details over the phone without verification!

I had the special Gaeng Phed Ped Yang and my wife had the green curry. My dishes' lovely duck slices which were generous and are perfectly baked with the crispy skin clearly carefully set above the broth, just lovely. My wife's green curry is clearly handmade with the preferably uneven slicing of peppers and a nicely varied set of tastes which make it interesting even for the frequent green curry eater. Trivia: green curry actually contains no curry, but coconut milk. Both dishes came with white rice and are very good portion sizes, but most impressive is the quality of the dishes. As we are particular, having been spoiled by decade plus of Thai food around Jackson Heights, Queens, we really wanted the fresh and authentic style which LennoxThai does, much to our gladness. Seating is very limited with ~8 tables, most are easily moveable for varying sizes of parties. The staff is very copious thus very quick service whether for the high-volume takeouts or the dine-in which at 4:30p was just 2 other tables, but 2 more added as we finished after 5p. The Toast POS makes payment in person or online easy. It also emits a loyalty discount which comes via the usual Toast marketing streams. Its sanitation, cleansiness, and decor are all clean, confident, and comforting. The murals on the walls of varying Thai scenes are good discussion starters for the far away yet popular lands. The signage makes it easy to find on the otherwise busy 1 Av. I noticed the 2 adjacent restaurant locations are vacant but have signage saying new eateries coming imminently. I particularly liked that the mood of all the patrons, some seemingly regulars, was so upbeat, as loyalty signals good things.

It's not like any of the food was downright bad, but all of it could have been better. My favorite dish they served was the Eggplant in Garlic sauce, truly not a bad dish. The mooshu pork was depressing, tasted like New Jersey. The scallion pancake was okay, but not great. The twice cooked pork was also pretty decent, just not exciting. I'd order from them again ecause it's concentient, but I don't think I would go in for a meal. Maybe choose a slightly nicer place, or just cook at home. Does'nt seem worth it to go there.

We bought wonton and hot & sour soups, which are both very good. Their wontons have thin skins, certainly preferable to the doughy sinkers we've gotten used to. Flavorful broth and greens, a throwback to the wonton soup I grew up with in Brooklyn. Their mapo tofu is called "Ma Paul" and very spicy, tempered with spoonfuls of steamed rice. We also ordered prawns with toasted rice and vegetables. Mild, a lot of gravy -- almost like a thick soup -- and to their credit, the toasted rice was packed separately so it came home crisp. Here's where they lost a star. I was thinking of simple fried chicken with mixed Asian vegetables that I ate in Chinatown. Despite having all the components, A-jiao said it's not an option, unless we just want broccoli. I wanted more. Nonetheless, based on this meal, A-jiao is worth the walk. We'll surely return and explore the menu, without asking for anything not listed.

Would you get up at 4:30 a.m. for a hot date? Would you Walk 3 miles one way for a hot date?…read more Walked from West 57th Street to this restaurant on 94th and 2nd avenue a distance of 3 miles. Took us 75 minutes arriving at 11:00 a.m. on a Wednesday. There saving us a table was our New York Yelp friend MarianneTurned out that she didn't need to arrive that early to save us a table as the place was empty. Place looks like a typical hole in the wall restaurant from the outside with fading paint. Can't tell a book by its cover. Place looks very nice inside with attractive furnishings and decent ambience. Marianne had the the sweet potato pancakes with peanuts and the Chinese pancakes. Not your typical Chinese food but she has her own food diet. My wife had the Hunan chicken which came with broccoli bell peppers and slices of white chicken breast meat in a tasty garlic sauce while I had the spicy prawns with squash and minced beef in a spicy chili sauce. Turned out that I would usually order the chicken and my wife would order prawns at Chinese restaurants. World turned upside down. Like my dish but where was the beef? The beef was tiny particles of ground beef drowning in the spiciest chili sauce. Good thing that they served brown rice as an option to temper down the spiciness of the sauce. No way that Marianne would be sharing our dishes she has an aversion to spicy foods, and lately even chicken. Wife and I had the luncheon specials at $12.95 a piece while Marianne had the two appetizers.$42 after tax and tip a bargain for three people in expensive New York City. And no Marianne didn't get up at 4:30 a.m. just to prepare herself for a date. She gets up everyday at 4:30 a.m. hot date or no hot date.

It came with two whole soft-shell crabs that were very fresh, crisp, and satisfying--a particularly good combination with the creamy curry and noodles. We also had the Gaeng Rawaeng Naur. The dish came with large pieces of beef brisket that were exceptionally tender and juicy, and the curry was aromatic and comforting. The main downside was the portion size. For a party of two, the meal felt a little light, especially considering the price. We enjoyed the flavors and quality of the ingredients, though, and would come back. Next time, I'd like to try their lunch special, which looks like it may offer better value.
