    Supposedly Mango Sticky Rice
    Julie P.

    Went in to have dinner, cozy spot , nothing fancy. We ordered duck noodle soup, pork boat soup. Shrimp thai fried rice, thai iced tea, a beer and mango sticky rice. . Soups were very sweet, the broth tasted stale. Shrimp rice was ok, lacked the typical thai flavor. We never received the thai iced tea, the host/ waitress was awful. We asked for hot sauce, she brought some out in a jar and while we were eating came and took it away. She insisted in giving a beer I didn't want and brought the check 15 mins before bringing dessert. While still drinking the beer she came and took the glass, attempting to pour out the remaining contents and ended up spilling it. I would not recommend nor return. Not worth it.

    Very nice! Living nearby, we get lunch from here often. Small, cozy neighborhood place with good food and friendly staff. We usually get drunken noodles, or fried rice and mango sticky rice to finish.

    Massaman Curry with tofu

    Great food! Great service. I had the pineapple fried rice with veggies and the massaman curry with tofu. Both were fantastic! The $12 lunch deal is even on Sundays.

    Tiny, clean, simple space. Not suitable for parties larger than 4. The whole restaurant seats 14ish people at most. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Dropped by for lunch. The lunch special (noodles/rice dish with a side of a spring roll/dumpling/soup) portion was small, so I decided to order the regular $15 beef drunken noodle portion. Sad to say that the portion was small. The sauce was watery. The dish was too mild even for me, someone who does not like spice. But I did not even ask to make this dish mild. Exactly two tiny slices of carrot and bell pepper. Mostly noodles, barely any protein or veggies.

    Drunken Noodle lunch special, not so special
    Jessi L.

    Lunch special drunken noodle $12. Not worth it. Super small portion and holy salt! Ridiculously salty! No utensils even though I asked for it. Plus the delivery guy was supposed to come to the reception area, he didn't even come in the building.

    Pad Thai Noodle Crab Rangoon chicken Chicken and Shrimp Dumplings thai Thai Fried Rice
    Lauren C.

    Had the lunch special and it was a great amount of food and affordable. Pad Thai w chicken , i loved. Crab rangoon was so yummy especially with the sweet chili sauce. Shrimp n chicken dumplings fried were sooo good. Chicken thai rice was so yummy n flavorful. Would go again

    Duck Noodle Soup
    Carlos D.

    Wonder around this area with my friend and we decided to check Kare Thai out. The restaurant is small, good for a group of 4 or less. The hostess was really sweet and was attentive to us. For appetizer we did the popcorn shrimp and the dumplings. The dumplings were really good, the popcorn shrimp was good as well, but I felt like it should've had a bit lesser breading. For entree I had the Duck Noodle Soup and it was amazing. The duck and noodles were delicious as well as the broth. It was smooth and not salty. I definitely would recommend this soup. Overall, great food and experience, a small hidden gem away from the nearby touristy area. I also recommend trying out the thai iced tea!

    Chicken Pad Thai Noodle Lunch Special
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed having lunch from here! I started off with the chicken pad thai with spring rolls, my usual go-to. The drunken noodles with tofu were delicious and the shrimp and chicken dumplings were delicious as well! They have a very extensive lunch menu selection available. The portions were probably a touch smaller than some other spots I've been too, but there was a generous amount of protein and veggies in both the dishes.

    Crab Meat Fried Rice Special
    Michael T.

    Delicious fried rice with real crab meat and a smooth buttery taste. can't go wrong with this dish! great service too. thanks.

    Drunken Noodle
    Paige A.

    The drunken noodles are delicious!! You also really can't go wrong with the pad Thai, too good! I got takeout so I can't speak for the dining experience, but my food was delivered hot & quickly! Very pleased!

    Yuri C.

    Came here after I saw the sign for happy hours on my way from work. $8 for 2 Singha? Sure. I like it! Atmosphere: small but clean and cozy. Service: The owner(?)/waitress wasn't that friendly unfortunately. Wasn't really able to tell me much about their dishes either. Food: Overall was o...k.... -- Beef in beef salad was so rubbery and over seasoned. Not too much vegetables either. -- Chicken satay was also not too impressive. Oh....too much curry powder on it. Will I come back? Provably not :/ I'd rather pay for the full price for drinks and get better quality Thai food.

    Basil Fried Rice Lunch Special
    Ivan T.

    The staff is friendly I don't know her name but she is very helpful. I went there on Sunday afternoon not busy. The food is good, oh and they have lunch every day

    Pad See Eiw and Drunken Noodle
    Emily K.

    This place is okay. Got my typical order of pad se eiw and drunk noodles. Portions here are less than other places Not as many fresh vegetables Pad se eiw just tasted like soy sauce. Drunk noodles were fine (chicken was a bit hard). Overall the price is in line with other places ($13/ noodle entree with veg or chicken) but the competition for Thai food in midtown is fierce!

We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

The restaurant is near my friend's place. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, and didn't take reservations, but we were seated immediately. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan. My only complaint was that I noticed a male staff member leave the restroom without flushing the toilet, which took away from an otherwise positive dining experience.

However, the other dishes are not particularly memorable. The skewer meat was tough and difficult to chew through, while the burger had a mushy texture and lacked distinct flavor. ​The service is standard for a quick-service noodle shop; the staff isn't overtly helpful or friendly, but they aren't inhospitable either. Stick strictly to the wide noodle dishes if you decide to visit.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

It would've been very easy to miss unless you're specifically looking for this place. Upon entering you're greeted by the numerous Michelin guides lol, front desk seated me pretty shortly after ensuring my seat was set, I was sat at the bar where they have a scan menu. Server immediately was attentive and filled my glass with some water. I was originally going to get the Dashi ramen but after I shared I'm allergic to shrimp the server felt it was a bit risky he was very careful so I appreciated that. I got the Tokyo ramen instead and a side of shishito peppers (he also omitted the Dashi JIC). It was happy hour so the appetizer was $7 I/o $8 and I also got an Asahi draft for $8. Ramen was $22. I was very surprised the server even asked about the oil the pork and peppers are fried in JIC of cross contamination - he shared that they use the same batch of oil as frying tempura (but I was ok with that but just watch out if you're like super super sensitive). Ramen: 7/10, decent bowl but not the best I've had. Feels a bit more Americanized and I prefer authentic Japanese ramen. Soup was rich, flavor but again it's one you can find at many other ramen shops in nyc. Noodle was a bit lackluster it was a bit soggy, not springy like freshly made ramen. The pork slices are flavorful but felt it's bit thin, I prefer a good cut...but personal preference. There's 2 thicker slices of marinated bamboo and half a jammy egg topped with scallions. Decent bowl but don't think it's worth $22. Shishito peppers: nicely fried. Well seasoned. 9/10 Overall - good spot for a decent bowl of ramen in the area.
