Surprisingly great find in the Upper East Side. This spot is not another Chinese Take-out. This…read moreplace was very spacious for a small spot, classy with a full bar. The staff was really flexible with our reservation for 14 people. It was originally set to 8pm, but due to unavoidable circumstances, we had to push it to 8:45pm. They were more than happy to accommodate us. The food was really good. It was so good, that people started to eat once the dishes were set down on the table. I didn't have time to snap any pictures. The food came out really quick, impressively quick. Yet, all of the dishes turned out to be delicious. The Scallion Duck was my favorite. It maintained its crispiness despite being in sauce. The Pad Thai"s noodles were a bit overcooked, but the whole dish was still flavorful. The Yong Chow Fried Rice could have used a little more seasoning or MSG, but it was still delicious. If you have high blood pressure issue, this one's up your alley. Overall, it was a great experience and if I'm ever in that area again, I would definitely come back there. I highly recommend this place.

It does well with doing the whole "fusion" schtick without losing the essence and flavor of the dishes. Pad Krapoa Moo Krob, the meat on the pork belly was so juicy - the pork skin was crunchy and chewy at the same time, flavors of Thai spice, basil, and bell peppers harmoniously working together to bring a balanced meal. The shrimp basil fried rice was delicious, a great alternative if you're not feeling the crab fried rice. The service at Obao is always prompt and helpful, whether it's questions about the menu or recommendations, anyone is willing to help. Inside Oboa is dimly lit, a moody vibe that is fun and invites playful conversations.

The hostess stated how she had a long reservation list, but was able to get us right in! Once we sat down, our server, Spaghetti, came over to us. He was extremely friendly and took our drink orders right away. I ordered an Espresso Martini, and it was delicious. My father ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was extremely tasty. For our entrees, my mother ordered the Pad Thai, and my father and I ordered the Pho Bó. My mom absolutely loved the Pad Thai! The Pho Bó was incredible. The broth was so delectable, and it was honestly the best broth that I have ever had. The portions were also incredible, especially for the price and being in the city! Once we received the check, we noticed that next to the Pho Bó, it stated that it is Michelin Recommended, and we completely understand why! We are looking forward to going back!

The restaurant was empty upon our arrival, other than one other table, and our waiter was very attentive at that time. We started with the fried chicken wontons which were delicious and then shared the chicken and broccoli and beef lo mein. While the main dishes were fine, the were nothing extraordinary and you had to pay extra for a bowl of steamed rice. I have never experienced that before. The main issue I have with this place is that a large party came in while we were eating and our waiter forgot about us. Someone else brought us to~go boxes and after about 15-20 mins our waiter finally brought over our check and when I selected 20% for the tip, which was more than deserved given the fact that he ignored us for half of our visit, he got an attitude and walked off. Did not even thank us for coming or anything! Or bill for the two of us was $85, for anyone interested in knowing. Needless to say, we will not be back or recommend.

The ambiance is stylish without feeling overdone, making it perfect for a nice dinner out. We tried a mix of drinks and dishes: the Pomelo Mai Thai and Thai mojito were both refreshing and well-balanced, presentation goes awfff! For starters, the chicken dumplings and sweet potato tempura were great...crispy, flavorful, and a solid way to kick things off. For mains, the pad see-ew was rich and satisfying, and the Chef's choice - Ba Mee Gyo Moo Dang stood out with its depth of flavor, the noodles were so dang GOOD. The miso soup was a nice surprise! light but still packed with flavor and tasted like a warm hug. And of course, we had to end with fried ice cream, which did not disappoint. Overall, this is one of those dinners you'd happily repeat. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The nigiri was standard. The roll was better than expected. It was quite pricey at $72. The Sushi Moriwase was ridiculously pricey at $62. It had 8 "chef's premium pieces" and toro roll. The fish included toro, squid and scallop. So, they definitely had a higher tier of fish. One of the nigiri tasted the same as the "Sushi for Two." I just couldn't justify the price of this one. Especially since Sushi Goal (very close by) has a Sushi omakase premium for $50 (10 pieces with a roll). I don't think I will come back, especially since Sushi Goal Omakase has similar or better fish for less $ and more pieces.

I requested extra peanuts and they did it! I love the texture of extra crushed peanuts and they did not skimp on it! Great attention! Banana sticky rice - one of my favorite desserts... I always find that lots of places don't give enough coconut cream sauce... and my request for extra coconut cream on the side was also honored. I'm a very happy camper. Good portions and perfect to share but I kept both to myself lol In Conclusion: the service and attention to detail... even for a to-go/delivery order was really awesome. This tells me that a dine in experience will be even better. The quality and taste of the food was also very good. There's so many Thai spots and some can be hit or miss, especially as a first time experience... but 10/10 I would recommend this spot.

Also, one of our members who I trust when it comes to food recommendations raves about this restaurant. We ordered a few dishes. Vegetable tofu noodle soup ($15)- The broth was light, the vegetables were plentiful and there were a good number of noodles too. I loved that with the vegetable tofu noodle soup, you can add any protein for free. I added shrimp and they were super generous. There must have been six shrimp in my soup! Chicken satay ($12)- I have to say, this was the one thing we ordered that I felt missed the mark. The chicken was tough and definitely not tender. The accompanying sauces were very good. Pad see eiw ($18)- This was very delicious! I love the flat noodles and there was a nice amount of sauce. There was a generous amount of chicken too. I'd return to Thai At Lex, especially for the soup and pad see eiw. I'd recommend you check it out too!

The service was pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful from the minute we walked in without a reservation. The ambiance and decor was gorgeous and took me out of NYC for a moment. The phenomenal taste of the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea that paired so well with the rest of my meal is the reason behind the first picture I took. For the apps we ordered my favorite- Chicken Curry Puffs and Chicken Satay. The Chicken Curry Puffs were soft and perfectly mashy on the inside and had a perfect crisp to the layered outside. The Chicken Satay was so different here and yet so savory served with this soft garlic bread. The sauces were so fresh, vibrant and distinct and added to both the appetizers. The peanut sauce had crushed peanuts and was such an accompaniment to texture. For the mains, we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Braised Beef Short Rib in Penang Curry. The Pad Thai was a great standard and tasty with the crisp sprouts and zesty lime. This Braised Beef Short Rib is where it is at! One of their house specialties- the decadent flavors and textures of this dish is something that will be memorable and just the right touch of spice. Lovely bright orange sweet potatoes and beautiful green beans went so well together with the beef and curry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and not defaulting to my usual. Warmed up Chicken Pad Thai on the pan over the stove today in a little bit of butter, this was as delicious as it was going to get today. I missed one of the most exquisite Thai Iced Teas I've had in a while, it truly set the tone of how great this late lunch was.

The vegetarian spring rolls weren't too heavy and clearly freshly fried with a little sweet and sauce. 3 for $9.

The Moo Dang was super flavorful and came with 3 different kinds of prepared pork. $18 - so good over the rice! The Kao soy is always gonna be a hit over rice as well. We got it with chicken ($20). The staff was very efficient and sweet here! It does get really packed and loud but still do-able. I wouldn't come with more than 4 people haha
