    I love this little Thai place. I can't wait to go back. Not to far from the Brooklyn Bridge. All our meals were excellent!our drink were exceptional. Cute small inside. Staff was very nice.

    Drunken Noodle

    We went to Hey Thai for our lunch with friends. It has cozy interiors. We ordered Appetizers platter and it was delicious. For main course; we ordered pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles. They were fab too. For dessert: We got mango sticky rice. The mango wasn't ripe and was definitely not a Thai mango. However the rice pudding tasted good despite the odd coloring. The staff was humble too. Will definitely visit again.

    Drunken Noodle  (Lunch) with chicken

    Lunch from Hey Thai was okay. I ordered the drunken noodles as part of an office group order for delivery, and found the spice level to be pretty good. There was a nice heat in each bite, evenly spread through the dish. The noodles were okay, the consistency was decent, if not a bit soft for some bites. Chicken in the dish was fine. But the dish overall was a bit bland and a little heavy on the oil for some bites. There wasn't a lot of taste to the noodles beyond the spice alone, it left a bit to be desired.

    We went to Hey Thai for dinner on a Saturday night. It's a beautiful restaurant and they have delicious Thai and Pan-Asian Fusion food. The drinks were great! The staff members were friendly and accommodating. We had such a great dining experience.

    We were downtown for a couple of dog adoption events and when it came time to eat, we were not quite sure where to land. A quick search brought up Thai food in the area and Hey Thai came up, so we decided to give it a shot. The lemonade was a pleasant surprise, tasting legitimately homemade rather than the standard fountain variety you find most places. The calamari came in generous pieces, heavily breaded but with a satisfying crunch, and the sweet chili dipping sauce delivered on flavor. The pork chop was equally solid, a respectable portion served alongside white rice that held its own as a side. The ambience leans dark with an abundance of artificial plants scattered throughout, giving the space a tropical feel that is either charming or a bit much depending on your taste. The staff was a mixed experience, some genuinely warm and attentive, others appearing less enthusiastic about being there. That is not unusual in food service and it did not take much away from the overall visit. One thing worth mentioning for the sake of honesty. The restroom needed attention during our visit. Staff was notified and they did respond, though the cleanup was not as thorough as it could have been. Small detail, but worth noting. Overall Hey Thai was a solid find for a casual meal downtown. The food is the reason to come here and it delivers. The lemonade alone make it worth the stop, for me that was the champion.

    Crab Rangoon Pad Thai Curry Roti
    Tung Y.

    Feels like a solid 3.5. Ordered a takeout and they taste not bad even after a five mins walk. Pad Thai with shrimp $18 was alright. Noodles is Al dente not mushy. It's also right amount of sourness. Shrimp is big, deshelled and bouncy. Crab rangoon was not good. Four piece for $9. But I couldn't taste any crab, not even fake crab meat. It's just sweet cream cheese inside. Don't recommend. Curry roti appetizer $10 was pretty good. Roti probably is deep fried so it's super greasy so it only taste good for the first two pieces. The curry however is the highlight of this meal. Taste so good and flavorful.

    Hey Thai was great. So glad my hubs and I stumbled in. We were really hungry and had walked past this restaurant the entire time we were staying at our Airbnb in NY. It sat right on the corner of the block. We finally wandered in after my daughter mentioned that she loved it and that we should try it. We walked in and it was so cute, and the greeting was the best. They were very warm and friendly. The service was amazing. As for ambiance -- SO CUTE! Very well manicured, clean, and curated. Now for the main question: how was the food? Wonderful! The pad see ew was excellent, the shrimp curry was on point, and the portions were shareable. We loved it and will be back! It's a great, quiet, and chill vibe -- perfect for a reflective or deep conversation, or a "I just want to be with you" date. Check them out!

    Pad see ew
    Christopher Y.

    This is actually my second time at this spot (first time we ate here but this time was takeout). Just wanna start off and say the decor of this place was very nice and calming. Pretty standard & traditional Thai menu with a nice drink section as well. This time around we ended up getting the chicken pad Thai & chicken pad see ew. The pad see ew was great, had a nice sweet but savory soy flavor with the flat noodles being the perfect texture. The pad Thai was mediocre as we've had better from other Thai spots. However I do feel like the food did taste better the first time around and probably because we had eaten there instead the first time around. Overall a good Thai spot in the seaport area that I'd go back to again :)

    I got lunch to-go here and thought that it was just okay. I ordered their duck pad see ew and thought that it lacked a bit in flavor. It was also an additional $13 for duck and thought that the amount of duck I got (5 thin pieces) wasn't really worth it. Their salad rolls were also really thick, hard, and unevenly cut while their mango stick rice came with really thin and dry slices of mango. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend.

    Overall: C // 3 stars Running a generous promotion on Uber Eats with significant value takeout food. However, it seems like the flavor profile is also on discount as there are some critical ingredients lacking from what otherwise could've been a solid arrangement of food. (Chive Pancake: C) - The sauce has a delicious savory, acidic, and sweet profile. I like the chive component, but it needs more chive to make it taste like eating a big blob of mochi. (Pad Thai: C) - A large plate of pad thai, but when I first tasted it, I was incredibly disappointed to find that it had no flavor. When I retossed it on a wok, it seems like the flavor profile was correct, but it just seemed like someone forgot to add any amount of salt. (Pad See Ew: B) - Similar to the Pad Thai, this dish needs to be better seasoned. That said, there was a light soy note that could be tasted, and would be even better if it was intensified. The beef was tender. (Tom Kha: F) - The flavor profile of this soup was incredibly problematic as it tasted like coconut water and lacked most of the spices built to make the soup have its distinctively captivating flavor. It's lacking kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and perhaps even fish sauce. Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    Ran in for a quick lunch. Service was quick and efficient. I had a shrimp pad Thai. I was impressed with the pad Thai. I hate a dry noodle but this one was saucy! The shrimp were large. Love a good NYC takeout and this hit the mark.

    Hidden gem alert in Downtown NYC -- Hey Thai on John Street (just a 10-min walk from Fulton Center) totally won my heart! Cozy ambience, friendly service, and the warmest welcome -- it's one of those rare spots that instantly makes you feel at home. Their Thai Iced Tea? Pure love in a glass Don't miss their special dumplings -- soft, flavorful, and absolutely mouthwatering . The Basil wok entrée was incredible, and the Massamun Curry with veggies & tofu hit all the right notes -- rich, creamy, and comforting. Generous portions (rare for NYC!) + great prices = total win If you're craving authentic Thai flavors with cozy vibes, Hey Thai deserves a spot on your list! Would you try this spot next time you're around Downtown?

    Food and drinks were delicious! Friendly staff as well. Would definitely visit again :)

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

Perfectly cooked, crispy without being oily, and packed with layers of flavor. The caviar might sound extra, but it makes total sense here, adding this salty, savory pop that turns each bite into something special. For noodles, we split paths: I went with the Wagyu Ramyun. Rich, beefy, deeply satisfying, basically comfort food dialed way up. My wife ordered the Gochu Ramyun, which was spicy, soulful, and loaded with pork belly so soft it practically melts on contact.

The TORO SSAM BAP was absolutely DELICIOUS and incredibly fresh. Every bite felt well balanced and thoughtfully put together. Our favorite dish of the night was easily the GOCHUJANG BOKUM -- so flavorful, with the perfect ratio of beef to rice to potato crisps. The textures and spice level were spot on. The last thing we tried was the Wagyu Ramyun, and honestly this is the only reason I'm giving Jeju 4/5 stars instead of 5. Given all the awards and hype, I expected a little more depth and flavor from the broth/ramen itself. That said, the wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and beautifully cooked. Overall, still a really memorable meal and definitely worth trying if you can get a reservation.

We ordered the beef rendang, chicken satay and singapore noodles (with tofu and vegetables). I had been hoping to try the soft shelled crab but perhaps it's out of season or no longer on the menu as I didn't see it. The chicken satay came out first, it was 4 sticks of skewered chicken drenched in a slightly spicy creamy peanut sauce. This was the second favorite dish of the table as the chicken was tender and the peanut sauce paired well with it. The singapore noodles were unexpected the favorite of the table. The flavor profiles weren't too crazy just a simple curry flavor but mixed with the thin noodles and other ingredients, it was savory and not too heavy to eat a lot of. The beef rendang was the last dish to come out, the beef pieces were very tender and this was the spiciest dish out of all 3 that we had ordered. It came with about a bowl's worth of white rice on the side and some cucumbers and purple cabbage salad. It was a pretty okay lunch. Not the best Malaysian food I've had (Chinatown is still the best spot for me) but it's a good spot if you're craving Malaysian food in the west village area. Bathrooms were immaculately clean which is always a plus.
