    Chiang Mai Lady
    Jacky C.

    I really enjoyed my dinner at this Thai spot in FiDi. The interior design from the entering the restaurant to being seated really makes you feel like you left the city temporarily. Looking through their cocktail menu, I noticed everything was made from sake. Not hating on it, just an observation I noticed. We got the Chiang Mai Lady ($16), which was made from Japanese plum wine, sake, lemon juice, cranberry juice, ginger-infused syrup, and fragrant rose water. Sounded like an interesting combination of ingredients and tasted pretty decent. I personally ordered the Thai Coffee Martini ($15), which was on their specials menu. This is made from Thai coffee, sake, and Baileys coffee cream. Good drink to get to stay awake with a Thai twist. For appetizers, we ordered the Thai Dumpling Curry in the Ocean ($14), also from their specials menu. This was more of a vegetarian dish made mainly with chives and mushrooms soaked in Massaman curry. Great for the vegetarians out there. We also got the Grilled Shrimp Mango Salad ($16), which I was surprised how well it tasted. It may have been my favorite dish out of everything we ordered. For entrees, we ordered the Drunken Noodle w Duck ($27). Duck was prepared well. I ended up having this as leftovers for lunch the following day and the duck still tasted great along with the noodles. We also got the Seafood Pineapple Curry ($38), which was massive as they served the dish in a gutted pineapple and anything that didn't fit in the pineapple in its own bowl. Comes with white rice. This definitely can feed two people alone. Did we have room for dessert? No, but we always make room. We settled on their Ube Ice Cream Cup ($12), which was a lot larger than I thought it would be. It's meant to be shared. I loved the touch of diced fruits on the side, which goes well with the ube ice cream.

    Cute interior No wait on a Friday when dropping in around 7pm Quiet street location, very close to south street seaport's main entertainment strip Crab Rangoon - ok Mango sticky rice - ok; just wish the mango slices were thicker like Ayada's Thai shaking beef (seasonal special) - burnt and dry Chicken pad Thai - too sweet and the chicken tastes rubbery (perhaps overboiled) The service here was great, friendly, and attentive Personally, would not return but

    What a cute little restaurant in the Financial Distract. The restaurant is bright and fun. The staff was attentive but rather loud. Probably do to customer base. Restaurant was basically empty. Good was delicious!

    Salad

    Came here while in town celebrating the Knicks win. The spot was not far from the Pier 11 area. We walked here from our hotel in the Wall street area. Most restaurants were over crowded with long waits but we lucked up when we popped in! There was no wait. We ordered drinks and food. The chicken satay was good. It was paired with a peanut sauce and a pickled sauce. Both were good with the chicken. I got the shrimp pad thai which was also good. Not that many shrimp but i do know it is expensive these days. I would go back while in town

    Cute interior space with cherry blossoms and other colorful decor. Service is good, waters are always refilled and they take your order quickly. Onto the food, I loved my half chicken with papaya salad and sticky rice. This was so so good. The papayas salad had some sort of fish sauce dressing which cut through the richness of the roast chicken. The sweet chili sauce was also a great addition. Sticky rice was wonderfully chewy with a crisp exterior. Unfortunately, my friend did not like her pad see ew at all and barely touched it all dinner. I felt terrible but she didn't want any of mine. She said it's very hit or miss here and to be honest, it really just looks ok to me as well visually. The noodles don't seem very bouncy or fresh and the sauce wasn't great. Maybe was an off day. Prices are very reasonable for FiDi.

    Conveniently located near South Street Seaport and Circle Line Cruises. Not super authentic Thai ( don't expect Thai level spice), but the food and portions are good and the staff was helpful. Lovely decor and a lot of seats, but can be a long wait for walk-ins. The lemongrass soup didn't have much flavor so I would skip that one.

    Drunken Noodle
    Shefali A.

    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.

    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.

    Drunken Noodle  (Lunch) with chicken
    Cyrus A.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

Fast forward to 2026 (where I'm finally not broke as hell), the day has finally come, and I am ecstatic about stepping foot into this diner that surprisingly is still standing in 2026. The inside certainly feels like a diner, but not quite the old-school dinginess that I'm used to--it's clean. Given that it was Sunday at noon, it was very crowded in there and mainly flooded with tourist groups, but a table opened up for us pretty quickly. For a NYC diner, the menu is certainly small - this is probably done to keep tables moving faster. I got the Pastrami Hash & Eggs and it was just overdone and super oily and dry--almost as if they just refried everything except the sunnyside egg. Not gonna lie, I was very disappointed, given that I had waited for so long to come here, only to get food that was an attempt to give the staleness another chance by refrying and reheating. I actually beat myself up a little the rest of the day for finishing the whole thing, knowing that the oversaltiness was flirting with opening up some high blood pressure. It was also not moderately priced by any means (was close to $30), but I know I'm helping pay for that Midtown and proximity to Central Park pricing. Not sure if I'll return, which saddens me, but also knowing that they're part of a conglomerate at Fireman Group (and still run independently in a sense) makes total sense
