Great spot for takeout or quick lunch in the NYU area. Affordable and meets the standard of good Thai food all over the city. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance was comfortable and casual but not at all dingy. Check it out if you're nearby!
We are always looking for a great Thai spot when we're in NYC and Malii never disappoints! My partner swears by their chicken pad Thai and I love their Panag curry. Great Happy Hour too!
Such a fun, casual place to dine after work, the vibes are always great! The food was so delicious, and they had such fun cocktails to try! I ordered the lychee duck curry the last time I went for dinner with friends and it was so good! The staff is very attentive and friendly :)
Went here earlier this week for a small family birthday celebration. Thai restaurants are always hit or miss with vegetarian options, and Malii sits somewhere in the middle. I've had bad experiences with fish sauce/shrimp paste in "vegetarian" items at Thai restaurants, and I appreciated that they clearly labeled items that are genuinely vegetarian or vegan. I ordered the Chive Rice Cakes and the Massamun curry with tofu and vegetables (the only veggie curry option). The rice cakes are fried triangles of rice with chives and come in a pretty hefty portion. They're a little blah on their own, but good with the sweet soy sauce. Also, these were a toddler hit! I was expecting the Massamun curry to pack a little heat, but it was on the sweet side instead, so that was a disappointment. Also, it felt a little short on tofu. The restaurant itself is smallish with a clean/modern look including adorable bird lighting fixtures that I loved. It's reasonably priced, and they were consistently busy even on a Monday, which gave it a lively energy. Overall, not a bad experience, but I won't be rushing to go back.
This place was packed on a Thursday at 2pm. My server offered tap water right away without the upsell to still or sparkling, which I appreciated. The space seats about forty people and has a beautiful, modern decor. It was loud during my lunch and the din of voices clashed with the soft music playing in the background. I ordered the lunch special, which comes with an appetizer and entree. I started with the seaweed and tofu soup, which was tasty. Next up was the sautéed garlic entree with beef, steamed broccoli, and carrots in a garlic pepper sauce. It also came with a side of hot sauce on the side that had a nice pop of spice and a little sweetness. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Decent portions and a good lunch deal overall!
This is a really solid lunch spot in Gramercy Park, offering classic Thai dishes with a few creative ones as well. I came for lunch and booked a spot through Resy - and they have some nice, inexpemsive lunch specials. The panang curry was solid - good quantity and tasted good, although was a little less spicy that I would have expected. The pad see ew on the other hand was very delicious, and I'd definitely recommend it! I'd say if you do come here, it'd be worth checking out their more special dishes; the panang curry and pad see ew were solid but not too unique to the many other Thai spots in the area. On the other hand, I've heard great things about their other dishes like the Lychee Duck Curry, so consider trying those more special dishes! Overall - a solid spot with good options but maybe stick to their more creative dishes to get a more unique experience!
Elevated Thai Solid Thai option in Gramercy Well priced Can be a bit chilly as they have a draft Service: fast Ambiance: best for parties 2-6 Good Clay pot rice and larb. Crispy fish was perfectly cooked but lacked in a way Standard : Pad Thai.
This is specifically for the Winter Restaurant 2026 Menu. I personally got the seared scallop salad, pad ped (beef brisket), and churros with pandan dipping sauce. Overall, the food was okay, my group and I felt like most dishes were lacking depth of flavor, but it was a good deal for restaurant week ($45 for 3 courses). My highlight was the seared scallop salad, but it only came with 2 pieces of scallops and the rest was onions and dressing. A cute spot, but kind of small. Service was great though!
Saw on IG added to list to check out. Safe to say I was not disappointed. When I say this is my new favorite spot. Within the past month i've been 3x. Your tastebuds will thank you. Extremely flavorful in every bite. Cosy intimate setting. If in the neighborhood definitely stop in. It's on the smaller side and gets very busy. Reservations highly recommended.
This place is busy! And rightfully so- the food was good. I loved the seasonal pumpkin curry. I would skip the egg roll and go with the chicken skewers. I did find some of the food a little on the bland side, perhaps that's a personal preference as I enjoy Thai food with heat and explosion of flavors. We tried to order the mocktails but they were out. Instead we ended up getting lychee martini, it was tasty if you are looking for a martini with just a hint of sweet. The location is smaller, as most of boutique places in New York are, I recommend trying to get a reservation in advance. The ambiance is casual-upscale. It was a friend and I sitting next to a couple of a date. Better for smaller groups as it gives a more intimate setting. The location was bright and well ups-kept. There's no nearby parking so take your chance or uber/walk over.
We met for lunch at Malii Gramercy. It's a small, stylish restaurant, with limited seating. We were able to order from a set Restaurant Week menu. I ordered a An Chan drink -- butterfly pea infused rum, tequila, lychee juice, lime juice, Thai spicy rim. It was a pretty lilac color, though strong, and with an indistinguishable flavor. I also ordered the Cho Muang, which was butterfly pea flower dumplings filled with caramelized shallots, sweet turnips, and peanuts served with crispy garlic, and lettuce. This was a lovely light blue color and was delicious. My main dish was Tay Po, choice of fried branzino or fried tofu (I picked tofu) served with sweet and sour tamarind red curry sauce and water spinach. This was very spicy, almost a little too spicy for me. Service was friendly, for our large party. The food tasted great, looked beautiful (a little spicy), and this was a nice and relaxing meal for our group.
Really cute interior with solid Thai options. Came here with a group for dinner and we all loved our dishes. I got the sweet vermicelli noodles with tofu, and the spice level was perfect, with a kick but not too spicy. The Thai iced tea my friend ordered was also delicious. A little pricey but for the space and quick service, a solid spot!
I went to Malii Gramercy over the weekend for a lunch special. The Pad Thai with chicken was amazing. I also had myself a small appetizer. I enjoyed myself some spring rolls. The service was exceptional, I wasn't rushed, and was asked if I was doing okay a couple of times while dining at the restaurant. I accompanied my meal with a lychee ginger beer. The lychee ginger beer was phenomenal. The ambiance here is great for a date night, catching up with your girlfriends/bros and bringing your parents to come out and enjoy delicious Thai cuisine. I would definitely recommend this Thai restaurant and would like to come again to try more of their menu offerings. 10/10 Thai restaurant in NY.

Great Thai spot with great lunch specials! I've tried their panang curry and their pad see ew now - really appreciated their generous portions and the variety on their menu! I'm a bit of a spice baby, so it could definitely be me, but heads up that the curry was on the spicier side for me. I ended up ordering a side of their pandan sticky rice (delicious, by the way) to compensate. The interior of the restaurant is also decorated really nicely which makes it a great place to catch up with friends. It definitely gets busy, so grab a reservation! read more

Crab fried rice: Delicious! They gave a lot of crab on top of the fried rice and the spicy sauce that came with it gave a nice kick. Really enjoyed the smoky wok flavor to the dish. Massaman chicken curry: The curry was rich, creamy, and delicious. Very flavorful with the right amount of sweet and savory. The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. My one minor feedback would be that the potatoes were a bit undercooked. Basil stir fry with crispy duck: Stir fried string beans with crispy duck as our choice of protein on top. They fry the entire duck instead of just crisping up the skin, which I felt dried it a little but the duck was still good and juicy. The string beans itself is were okay, but I liked the basil sauce it came with. Probably my least favorite out of the 3 dishes. Overall I'd give this place a 4.5/5. The flavors were spot on and the portion sizes were good. It was also cheaper than other high-end Thai places I've been to. read more

Took my picky mom & aunt to get Thai food at Malii while they were visiting me in NYC over the weekend. I had never come here before but my brother's gf gave a good recommendation and Resy had a table of 5 available last minute on a Sunday night. The servers were friendly and this place had a clean and charming vibe. For food, we tried the tom yum wings, pad see ew w/ beef, tom yum soup w/ shrimp, crispy pork belly basil, basil fried rice w/ shrimp, and lemongrass sea bass. I thought everything we ordered was really tasty and portioned well. The shrimps were cooked perfectly and I loved that they were able to make the tom yum soup extra spicy for our party. My one qualm would be that the wings could've been crispier and less doughy. For dessert we had the pandan coconut sundae and mango sticky rice, which were also really good even though the mango might not have been fully ripe yet. Would've loved to see lod chong on top of the sundae but I know that's hard to find around the city. Anyways, the lychee lemonade and lychee Thai tea drinks were also refreshing! Overall, we enjoyed great Thai food here and had no complaints from my mom & aunt! That's a win in my book! I'd definitely come back here. read more

Ranked One of NYC's 20 Best Restaurants by Tasting Table! We started with the Malii Platter -- perfect if you want a little bit of everything to share. Then it just kept getting better: Lychee Duck Curry -- rich, slightly sweet, super comforting Soft Shell Crab Curry -- crispy + saucy in the best way Lemongrass Sea Bass -- fresh, fragrant, and addictive Clay Pot Rice -- My Favorite! Smoky, savory, and so satisfying (don't skip this) Pad Ped (slow-cooked beef brisket) -- one of their specials, insanely tender and packed with flavors And you have to try their Thai sizzling roti dessert. Crispy, buttery roti served on a hot sizzling plate with melting Thai tea ice cream... the contrast alone makes it a MUST TRY. Come hungry... and save room for that sizzling dessert. F0ll0w me @foodie.elite on IG and TikTok for more great finds. read more
Loved this place! The food was so flavorful and prices were great for NYC. Reservations are made through Resy app. It wasn't too busy around 3pm when I came Saturday. They have a lunch menu- entree and free app. Highly recommend the creamy tom yum and lemongrass seabass. The pad thai was delicious as well. There was a perfect balance of citrus and spice to all the dishes. Service was great and the food came out quick. The interior is beautiful, modern and clean. read more

Visited here for my husbands birthday after hearing fab things on social media, and was not disappointed! We got there a little before 5 so got to try some of the happy hour specials including the tom yum wings and spring rolls for $9! We also ordered curry puffs, and two of their mocktails, the kiss of lychee and golden embers. Everything we tried was really good, the mocktails were a standout! The chicken wings were sweet, sour, sticky and delicious, I'd def get these again! The curry puffs tasted homemade - so good and flaky! The actual food we ordered was great, but standard Thai! We got the basil chicken, basil fried rice w shrimp, and massaman curry - all really very good!! The kha soi was good, spicy, and warming but the huge piece of chicken on top was weird to me - It felt so out of place. The desserts were ok to me - my husband wanted the mango mousse cake, which he liked, I didn't. And I opted for the sizzling Thai tea roti which sounded innovative, and was good but I think was missing a little pizzazz. All in all, this place was great for a one time try - I would recommend!! read more
Solid Thai food. They provide a unique spin on some of the classics such as the Pad Thai Boran which comes with jumbo prawns and wrapped in a fried egg nest. Was a huge fan of their papaya salad, probably the best I've had in the city thus far. Love the addition of dried shrimp and pork rinds in it, giving it extra texture and flavor. Their dessert menu was also quite delicious with the Thai Tea Sizzling Roti, fun to prepare and eat. Service was friendly but a bit on the slower side since it was a busy night. Wish it was more centrally located but otherwise a great pick for the area! read more

My friends and I went for happy hour. small dishes and drinks were yummy and affordable. The drinks were fun and flavorful. I loved the yuzu margarita Entrees were very nicely seasoned. We all agreed the portions were perfect for sharing. The green curry was spicy but not overpowering that it was too strong to enjoy. Service was attentive and kept our water full. read more
Good food in a nice little nook in Gramercy. The food came out super fast and I really did enjoy what I was eating, but it wasn't ground breaking on any fronts. I have no complaints here, just that it didn't stick out too much. read more
Malii is excellent. This isn't your usual Thai restaurant -- the menu is much more adventurous, there are so many unique dishes to try. Almost all of them are phenomenal -- from the papaya salad to some of the great beef dishes, they come with lots of flavor and just the right amount of spice. The cocktails are good too, with Thai flavors and a rotation of interesting seasonal drinks to keep things interesting. I've been a handful of times and only on the most recent visit did I hit my first snag -- the crispy lime chicken appetizer wasn't up to the usual standards. But I won't let one bad dish on one visit bring down how impressed I've been at every other meal here. And while it certainly isn't cheap, I do think prices are fair for the high quality meal you can have here! read more

Second visit to Malii and this time I brought friends! Everyone loved it!!! They have an amazing and very affordable lunch menu which consists of an appetizer and an entrée ranging from $13.95 to $22.95 depending on the protein you choose to get. I got the spring rolls to start off with and my main was the chicken basil fried rice. Oh my, that food was REALLY *expletive* GOOD. It came out super quickly too! I did also get the lychee Thai tea. It was a lot more than I expected (ended up taking it in a to go cup) and yummy. I love (!) that this place has kept to its high standards and now that I know about this lunch menu, they'll be seeing a whole lot more of me! read more
A casual Thai restaurant in Gramercy. We ordered a papaya salad and the sweet chili vermicelli. I was slightly hesitant about the vermicelli, but I would highly recommend! The noodles were super soft, and I loved the subtle sweetness. Also really enjoyed the papaya salad, but it's difficult for me to dislike a papaya salad. read more
Had a late lunch here. I really liked how flavorful the sweet chili vermicelli was and the plentiful shrimps it came with. The noodles were a little clumped together though. The pineapple braised pork was good but could use a thicker sauce or more flavor. The Choo chee prawns were my least favorite. While the sauce was good the prawns were a little mushy. Service was good and the place is roomy and smartly decorated. read more
