This is an excellent restaurant to go to for Thai cuisine. We went after watching a Broadway show. And made reservations for 4 people for 9pm. We were seated promptly , then given our customary beverage orders (Thai iced tea, of course). And while mulling over the menu with excellent choices , our server Salina suggested certain items for dinner. Her recommendations were spot on. We tried the papaya salad, soft shell crab, deboned duck, crispy pork with noodles. And the crispy branzino... everything was devoured quickly!! The dishes were full of flavor, but some were lacking in spiciness(our request really since we had a friend who could not tolerate spices). The post-meal dessert was very good as well. We had a wonderful time dining, and the service was top-notch. Thanks, Salina...!!! read more

I came with few coworkers for Friday lunch. The place was packed, we initially got a 10 minute wait time but they got us a table within couple of minutes. The interior was super nice, with very nice decors hung all around the restaurant. They had two floors, especially second floor was massive, so they were able to sit a lot guests. They had the both regular, lunch special and drinks menu. I ordered the crab fried rice dish from lunch menu. It came with a salad bowl. The salad just had lettuce and cherry tomatoes, mixed with some delicious dressing. The crab fried rice came with some cucumbers and two sauces. The sauces had such spicy kick, they enhanced the flavor of the rice and crab so much. They were excellent dipping sauce for the cucumbers too. Just loved the whole dish. Being lunch special, the portion was small, so I was sad when the plate was empty but I was still craving for more. For $32, I feel they could have served a bit more. But other lunch menu dishes were mostly around $18. The service was excellent. Several staff members constantly walked around the floor like Marshals, takings ordering, serving dishes, refilling water, taking out empty dishes, and doing checkouts right on the spot. After guests left, they were turning over the empty tables super quickly. No wonder we a table in such short time. Since it's so close to my work place, I'll be back here soon for sure to try other dishes. read more

I know the ratings are great here and it was a nice spot with good ambiance but the food wasn't the best Thai food I've had in the city. There are many spots that are way better and less hyper. The vibe and music selection are both great however so it was still a positive experience but not the best place for Thai in the city in my opinion. read more

I recommend making a reservation even if you're going for lunch on a weekday. I love going here for work lunches because it's upscale enough to feel fancy but cheap enough to not break the bank. I love pad Thai and I love crispy pork so pad Thai with crispy pork will always be my go-to. read more

Mitr Thai - L. Pad Mhee Korat. - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

My friends and I chose this place again. In New York, Mitr is a safe bet for Thai food. Ped Pa Loh: My friend recommended the roast duck, which was surprisingly sweet and sour - quite a novelty. The skin was a little soft though. Pla Tom Kha Hang: A summer limited-time menu item. Fried sea bass with Thai sweet chili sauce, practically no spiciness, refreshing and appetizing, perfect for summer. However, I personally didn't think the mushrooms went very well with it. Shrimp Pad Se Ew: The best Thai rice noodles I've had in the US. Very wok-fried, slightly sweet, but without masking the chili aroma - everything was just right. read more

Came to Mitr Thai for dinner with some friends. We made a reservation ahead of time since we had heard about all the buzz surrounding this restaurant, and I'm glad we did! We got there around opening and the line outside was already very long. Since we had a reservation, we were able to go straight to the door and were seated immediately. The menu is very extensive with a ton of different Thai dishes to choose from. I really liked how they organized the menu based on the different regions of Thailand, and everything seemed very authentic. Our waitress was still in training, but she was very nice and welcoming. She took the time to explain a lot of the menu and dishes to us and gave some great recommendations. We started with the skewers and sauce, which we were told was one of their more popular appetizers. They were pretty good, but not the best skewers I've ever had. For my main, I got the Pad Mee Korat, which reminded me of Pad Thai but came with crispy pork belly. The pork belly was very flavorful, although I wish it had been a little crispier. My friend got one of the steak dishes, and the steak bites were rubbed in spices and seasoning that gave them a ton of flavor. It was served as more of a salad, so the steak was slightly cold, but it paired really well with the onions and everything else in the dish. We finished with the mango sticky rice. It wasn't the best mango sticky rice I've had since the mango was slightly bitter, but it still paired nicely with the warm sticky rice. Overall, we had a really great experience. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the servers were attentive and responsive throughout the meal. I've definitely had better Thai food elsewhere, but this place is still up there and worth checking out, especially if you want to try dishes from different regions of Thailand. read more

Food: 8.5/10 Service: 7/10 Roti Massaman: 9.5/10 -- The fried roti was incredibly soft and flaky. Every bite was decadent, and I couldn't stop eating it. Short Rib Prik Kang: 9/10 -- The beef was fall-apart tender and came off the bone effortlessly. Add a spoonful of rice--bomb. I was in paradise. Goong Muk Prik Klua: 7/10 -- This dish was a mix of fried shrimp and squid. Both were plump and well-cooked, but overall, the dish wasn't particularly impressive. We really enjoyed our meal. The food was impeccable, and you can't go wrong with most of the dishes. The service was fine, although the restaurant was a little too loud. Expect to pay around $55-$60 per person after tax and tip. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and no regrets! Mitr Thai absolutely lived up to the hype! The restaurant has a beautiful, modern atmosphere that's perfect for dinner with friends and family or even just because you want to eat. The service was friendly, attentive, and the food arrived quickly even they were a full house and rush lunch hour. Very quick and our server was amazing! We started with mango salad and chicken satay as these were the most popular. Their salad was purely mango with cashews and cherry tomatoes. Their chicken satay was also to die for! It was very flavorful and was perfect and went well with the salad. Their pad thai was so perfect it brought me back to when we visited Thailand few years ago. The crispy pork belly was a standout for me perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, with just the right amount of richness. (Reminds me of Filipino Lechon Kawali) The fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and squeeze of lime balanced everything out beautifully. The soft shell crab in creamy curry egg sauce was also a must try! And lastly, we tried their mango sticky rice!! Absolutely no words... IT WAS DIVINE!!! If you're looking for authentic Thai food with elevated presentation, generous portions, and excellent service, Mitr Thai is definitely worth the visit. I'll absolutely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

Came here to eat before watching Broadway. We booked 5:00pm. When we arrived ~4:50pm there was already a line out the door waiting for them to open. I'm surprised people queued and surprised they actually lock people out. They have a policy of only seating whole parties. My friends were literally stuck amongst the world cup crowds in Times Square such that they struggled to get through and had to detour when they did. They have a 10 minute grace period, but my friends wouldn't make it in time, so I asked if they'll let us sit first as long as we start ordering immediately. They said ok as long as we returned the table by 6:30pm. I thought the 1.5 hour seating time was based on when we actually get seated which considers the grace period. Anyways the timing ended up being sufficient. I think this spot is good for pre-theatre dining due to the large storefront and quick service, but I wouldn't necessarily choose to come here for the sake of coming. Their menu is extensive and slightly confusing given the way they organize by regions in Thailand. I'm uncultured so I won't know what's the difference between each region. It's easier for me to comprehend if the menu was categorized by the ingredients used or size of the dish. Most dishes do not have a photo/drawing included so it was hard to skim through all the options. Their online ordering was way more helpful since it had photos. It was so hard to look for the corresponding line item in the printed version. We ordered: green curry, kao soy kua neur, khao mok neua, curry puff, kaeng hung lay, gai gor lae, and mango sticky rice. Most of the stuff tasted alright without much standout. We requested mild/little spicy for everything and it was true to request. The spiciest dish was probably the green curry, but I think it's tolerable if you eat it with rice. Crowd favorite was the kao soy kua neur which is braised beef with egg noodles. I like how tender the beef is and how chewy the noodles were. My friends didn't like the khao mok neua biryani because of its dryness, but I think it's meant to be like that. I appreciate the spices in it, not too strong but still sufficient. I don't like how they don't have a printed menu for desserts and relied on the servers to recite out what's available. We couldn't hear everything properly and resorted to referencing the online ordering menu for the dessert options. Glad they're the same. Mango sticky rice was the highlight of the night for me. The mango size could be slightly bigger, because right now it's much smaller than the rice. However, I enjoyed the rice a lot. It was hot, fragrant, and not too soft. It definitely felt comforting. The coconut milk on the side had rice puffs (?) in it which gave additional texture. read more

I found Mitr Thai via Yelp ages ago, and had it on my list to try for quite some time. Conveniently, I was looking for a pre-theater lunch, and the stars finally aligned. I'll note that I was previously warned about large portion sizes and was spending the day with spice-sensitive individuals (why Thai food, you might ask? Well, they both love it!), so this limited my ordering options a bit, since we wanted to eat family style and share. All of that being said, lunch was a great success. We arrived early for our reservation, prior to open, and were seated promptly as soon as the doors were ready to open. The space is beautiful, the staff were ready to start service. The tables are a bit close together, so don't plan on having private conversations. Our waitress explained the menu and made some suggestions. Yes, this is expensive for Thai food, but not at all surprising given the location. I tried a cocktail and it was lovely. The food came out quickly (very efficient service), was hot and fresh. The soft-shell crab special was not our favorite, a bit over-fried and the sauce was just ok for my taste. The curry puff was great, as were the noodles and the rice. I would definitely want to try some other dishes next time, the hot pot at the table next to us looked and smelled fabulous. This is a 4.5 stars spot, and a great option in midtown. read more

Was crowded when I arrived but thankfully allowed walked ins. Had me on a text-based waitlist for less than 15 minutes before they found me a seat on the bar. I suspect it would have been much harder if I wasn't alone. The restaurant was decorated simply but tastefully. After choosing my meal, they plopped some utensils and a salad in front of me. In another 15 minutes, I was slurping down some Massaman Gai. The curry was thick, nutty, and delicious. The chicken drumsticks were well cooked (ie fall off the bone) but not flavorful. However, I believe the chicken's quality was more lacking than the chef's skill. Would absolutely come again if they incorporated better ingredients. read more

Absolutely beautiful, delicious Thai restaurant right in the heart of manhattan. This place gets crowded at peak times but service moves quickly. The menu is broken up into different regions of Thai cuisine which I found very unique and interesting. The green curry with duck was an excellent rendition. Packed with depth of flavor and heat in the curry, it was magnificently accompanied by one of the crispiest duck breasts I've ever had. read more

More like a 4.5 but it was really good. You do feel a little rushed as they are quite busy, they turnover quite fast, and they do limit you to 90 mins. The food came out insanely fast, as in too fast, imo. When you go out to eat, you appreciate the breaks between being seated, ordering, waiting for the meal, and the check. It really felt like everything was rushed. That being said, the food was excellent with the Short Rib Prik Kang standing over the rest. Biriyani was just ok but the broth they gave with it was a nice complement. Mango avocado salad was decent. The rest of the table said the pork belly was also quite good. Didn't try the drinks, but they looked great and from overhearing the adjacent tables, they were actually quite good. I would def recommend giving this place a try. TBH, because they are so fast, it's a great place to dine before a show. read more

So this was an unexpected treat! Hubby & I had theatre tickets nearby so decided to get a bite to eat here before show. I wasn't expecting this level of authentic Thai food! Place was very busy when we got there but we were lucky to snag a table without having made reservations. The waitress, Emmy was super cheery and helpful. Reminds me to review her service. We got the papaya salad appetizer and for entrees hubby ordered the duck while I ordered one of the specials she recommended the shrimp and squid coconut. This was both our favorites. The flavor was fresh and lots of fresh herbs and micro greens. The sticky rice was a nice treat. Hubby got a drink. It was interesting taste of alcohol with cucumber. They had an upstairs and pretty nice decor. read more

Came here on a Thursday night and the place was about 90% at capacity downstairs. I didn't go upstairs, so not sure how busy it was. But the employees were everywhere and they look to be working in unison with each other. It almost felt like a fine dining restaurant without quite the price tag. I would strongly recommend you make a reservation. The tables are not that big so you might want to think about ordering too much food. You only get 90 minutes to dine, but our server was a little generous with that time limit as there wasn't any one waiting when we left. All of the dishes we ordered was good in it's own right. The pork belly fried rice had a hint of sweetness to it. I think it might be tamarind or something. But I could totally be off based. The crispy bits of pork belly added a nice texture. It's nothing like I've ever had before. The short ribs was fantastic. Full of flavor and fall of the bones tender. The papaya salad is something that was very familiar to all of the others I've had. Very comforting. Overall, I would definitely come back here and receiving great service on top of the great tasting food was all I could have asked for. read more

After a disappointing lunch at another Thai restaurant the other day, I was in this area and saw that I had Mitr Thai bookmarked and wanted to finally try. Walked in around 1:30pm and it was very busy but I was able to grab a table. They have a solid lunch special and as basic as it is, I love a good Pad Thai and ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. The sauce, spiciness level (asked for medium spicy and it was actually medium spicy) and noodles were all delicious and I was surprised at how juicy the chicken was. I've been to some places where the chicken can be quite dry but the chicken here was actually cooked well and would recommend. The one particular thing to note at this restaurant was that the noise level was exceptionally loud for a Thai restaurant (during lunch). They were blasting music so keep that in mind if you're looking for a more relaxed, quieter environment. read more

Really great Thai restaurant in midtown offering authentic dishes from all 4 regions of Thailand. I ordered the Ped Pa Loh ($34), which was a braised deboned half duck. The duck was cooked very well and the meat was nice and tender. I appreciated that it was deboned, which made it easier to eat. It also came with a sauce that added a bit of sweetness, although that sauce flavor got muted by the other sauce underneath. The restaurant interior is not particularly large and can get a bit crowded, but it is decorated nicely with a lively atmosphere. The staff are extremely attentive and the service speed is very fast. Overall, Mitr Thai offers above average quality authentic Thai food with more variety than most Thai restaurants, but as a result, the prices are also a bit higher than usual. I had a great experience and would give 4.5 stars if I could - definitely recommend it if you are a fan of Thai food. read more

This Thai spot in Midtown was so busy when I came on a Wednesday evening. I highly encourage recommendations as you might be faced with a long wait otherwise. They have two floors of seating (so spacious) and service is pretty quick. I got their papaya salad, roti massaman, pad see ew, ped pa loh (duck), and green curry. The papaya salad really stood out to me, but I enjoyed all of their dishes. What I liked about this spot is that they split their menu up between regions of Thailand so you get to know which dishes are from where (pretty cool!). Although the food was good, I feel like there are so many Thai spots in NYC that are better and that this spot was lacking a "wow" factor for me. read more

*this is a 4.5 star review* This place felt like a diamond in the rough on 46th street. I popped in on a rainy day and it was just what I needed. It is so beautiful inside-great artwork hanging from the ceiling and everything about it screams class and culture. The staff were so kind and attentive. In the short time I was there I received multiple water refills. I ordered the Pad-Se-Ew lunch special for $19 which is a great deal, because you get a passion fruit salad as well and the passion fruit dressing is tangy and delicious. Truly my only complaint is that the salad felt so minimal. It was so good and I would've loved if there was a bit more. read more

I'd heard a lot about Mitr Thai and finally got around to trying it. It lived up to the hype and honestly even better than I expected. Gai Gor Lae (chicken satay): really juicy and well marinaded. Delicious! Roti Massaman: the roti comes in small triangles, easy to dip in curry. The massaman is rich, sweet, and very comforting. Khao Pad Nam Prik Kak Moo: crispy pork belly fried rice served with egg and pork rind. This is a must order! Super crunchy, packed with flavor, and just really satisfying. Crab fried rice: you can't go wrong here. Solid and well executed. Black sticky rice with coconut ice cream: surprisingly really good. The contrast in textures and flavors works so well. The cocktails were pretty good too! I highly recommend the panda with the "N". Pandan flavored, light and refreshing! They have a pretty extensive menu with dishes from different regions, which I liked. I'd definitely come back to try more. Highly recommend! read more

Just wanted to reiterate the warning in my pervious review: they are extremely strict on the 10min time limit for your reservation (and yes, make a reservation since it's absolutely packed). When returning here a second time, I didn't heed my own advice, and missed my reservation by under a minute and they gave away our table. We ended up waiting 45min for the next table. Totally my fault but just a reminder - they even put multiple signs up to warn about this as well. I'd also repeat that the pad see ew is the best taste and value here. Crab fried rice is good, but after a second try at it, I think it's a bit too expensive for what it is. I'd pass on the chicken skewers. I liked the pandan matcha drink. read more

Everything we got was amazing! We tried a variety of usual dishes and some new ones too. We started with the chicken skewers and roti Massamun. Both were great. The Massamun curry was delicious and the chicken skewers were really flavorful. For mains we shared the Kao soy gai, crab fried rice, kua gai and green curry with 6 people. I liked everything except the green curry which had a bit of a floral aftertaste. The Kao soy gai and crab fried rice were my favorite out of everything. I also got a Thai iced tea which was great too. Overall it was a good meal and easy to share dishes with groups! read more

Authentically Thai - from the service to the food - you're transported to Thailand! I was so impressed with our whole experience, I can't wait to come back here again in the very near future! I made reservations online for our Saturday lunch date, and good thing I did! This place packs up quickly and you'll give yourself some piece of mind that you did so in advance. You are in the heart of the theater district, so keep that in mind as well. We were ushered to the second floor to their upstairs dining area. It was well-lit, inviting, and had background music on that wasn't blasting for early afternoon. Cream, our waitress, was so sweet and lovely, giving us really good suggestions to try based on her own personal recommendations. She didn't disappoint! We tried the massaman roti that was addicting! Light and buttery roti and the massaman curry was so deep with flavors I almost drank the remaining bits before it was sent back to the kitchen! I would absolute try the curry the next time we frequent here. We stuck to our usual go-to dishes - beef pad thai for me, and hubby got pad se-ew. The pad se-ew was a clear winner for me, with my pad thai a very close second. The portions were generous but not gluttonous where it is a turnoff. I was so full at this point, but hubby saw the table next to us get dessert and he HAD to try it. It was thai iced tea iced cream over a thai custard pastry. Was it freezing that day? Yes - and we had to have the ice cream - and you should too! This seems to be a guest favorite and it's obvious - light with just the right amount of sweet - 10/10.

Stopped at Mitr Thai after seeing a Broadway show during my most recent visit to Manhattan. We reserved our table the night before. We were greeted by very friendly staff members who, despite our early arrival, worked hard to get us seated as quickly as possible. The space's vibe is exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Times Square area -- dimly lit, but everything was still visible, not too much noise while extremely busy, and very cozy atmosphere made super pleasant from such attentive, kind staff members. I was especially impressed by our server, Leena, who checked in with us regularly, gave excellent recommendations, and was clearly concerned about giving us an amazing experience. My wife and I ordered one of the seasonal offerings--a sweet and savory fruit salad--that was the perfect start to our meal. I ordered the massaman, and it was easily the best massaman curry I've ever had in the United States. Perfect spice level, the chicken fell right off the bone (even my wife, a vegetarian, commented on how clean the bones looked after I removed the meat), and the mixture of textures and flavors with the lotus seeds and onions really created the perfect dish. I am craving it just sitting here and writing this review! Prices? Honestly, I couldn't imagine a fairer deal given the quality of the food and service we received. I was utterly blown away. I cannot recommend Mitr Thai enough! I can't wait to return next time I'm in the city! read more

I was staying in a nearby hotel and wanted Thai food for lunch. There are several options in the area but I was intrigued by the menu and the different dishes from different regions of Thailand. I was greeted by a gentleman shoveling the sidewalk- but when I entered the restaurant was full of patrons and crowded with those waiting to be seated. Short on time, I turned to leave and the gentleman working outside asked what happened. I explained that it was crowded - he suggested I try the bar and I'm so glad that convinced me to try again. The restaurant is actually much larger than it appears from the street. They have 2nd floor seating as well. I was quickly seated at the bar. I resisted the urge to order my favorite (pad Thai) and asked the bartender to recommend a few new dishes. He recommended 3, I can't remember the name of the dish, but it was pork, basil rice topped with an egg and served with a side salad. That dish was amazing! I love that they serve food from various regions. I kept eyeing dishes as they came out and everything looked very good. I can't wait to go back and explore new flavors. read more

overrated maybe we just came on a bad day but oh my do i have some grievances. first, we came on a week night and still had to wait like 40 mins for a table for two a bit diabolical tbh. ordered the two dishes that i felt like i saw a lot and that my friends recommended (short rib prik kang and pad mhee korat) and i was disappointed by both. the short rib was soo tough and hard to chew like again maybe we came on a bad day but it was not the melt in your mouth experience everyone claims it to be. the pad mhee korat was pretty good, though the pork belly was crispy but again not a super memorable dish. good vibes though it seemed pretty authentic despite the disappointing food. would definitely recommend making a reservation if you do come and having low expectations lol also we got sat next to this couple (??) and the guy was like "yea if i married a white girl i would make her sign a prenup" alongside many other memorable quotes (for context he was asian (for context the girl he was eating with was also asian)) read more

Summer Friday lunch has started becoming our thing. Most restaurants are usually empty around noon; but not at Mitr Thai. Luckily, we had a reservation, because it was packed. They sat us upstairs, and brought the menus, specials and waters in no time. Miriam was cheerful and helped us navigate through the fairly large menu. She even made some recommendations. We started with the Curry Puffs (2), which were very filling. For mains, Kana Moo Krob over Rice and Kao Soy Kai Neur. {See Full Description on photos) They came with a small salad, that didn't look so great. But the Ginger Citrus Dressing used, made me want to take a quart of it home. The whole meal was fantastic, and very filling. Now I know why it was so busy. The place runs like a well oiled machine, and the whole lunch took about 45 minutes, from start to finish. Next time, we'll stay for dessert read more

The dishes we tried were great, and they covered a number of different Thai regions. Fast and kind service, and the waitress was ready with all the top recommendations and suggestions. The area is decently spacious inside (and very warm in the winter). If I come again, I look forward to trying some more of their staple dishes, as we ordered some of their seasonal specials this time. Nothing was too spicy, but we also said to give us medium heat at most. I can't resist anything with pork jowl I almost always get a Roti Massaman to start. read more

D-LISH! That pretty much sums up this restaurant! We were looking for someplace near my daughter's work that was open late as she finished at 9. Mitr Thai was just the ticket. Right around the corner and open for another hour and a half. When we walked in, the lobby was packed and some people were waiting outside for their tables. Every seat in the house, including at the bar, was occupied. While we waited, we noticed a second floor seating area and the to-go/ delivery pickups were constantly being brought out about every 2 to 3 minutes. The menu was unique, with food broken down into the various four regions of Thailand. Many of the names were familiar from previous Thai dining experiences. Others not so much. We tried some familiar favorites as well as explored others as well. The flavors were amazing. The spice levels were pretty extreme for the seafood Tom Yum soup. We sampled each of the entrees family style and were really happy with each. If you visit, be prepared for a wait. But also be prepared to be completely satisfied. Service was great. Aside from our server, other team members were really helpful in refilling our water glasses throughout the meal. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

After spending most of Labor Day in upstate New York for a wedding, I was fortunate enough to have local New Yorkers arrange a dinner plans in the city. Considering the hectic 48hrs of non-stop traveling and celebrations, I would've been satisfied with a simple takeout meal to end the weekend but to my surprise, one of the best experiences of the trip was yet to come. Thankfully I was blessed with great friends to recommend this exceptional establishment known as Mitr Thai in Midtown Manhattan. Though the trip was centered around a wedding, my experience here instantly became the highlight of my trip to the City. One very genuine friend arranged this dinner, making a reservation for 3 for 7:30pm. To our surprise, we actually made it from Connecticut, walked from Grand Central and to Mitr Thai at 7:25pm even though they won't seat you until your entire party is there. After passing through the scaffolding, the restaurant has a two-door entry, one host after another, leading to a quaint but alluring lobby area. We were greeted by both hosts even though we were bogged down with luggage. The space was welcoming and had a sense of elegance as there was a blend of hardwood furnishings, low lighting and a heavy dose of Thai art/fixtures. For context: Labor Day Monday, at 7-8pm, there was a steady demand as the waiting bench remained full. There were even guests standing but even as more people came in, people were being seated at a consistent rate. Our 3rd friend arrived closer to 8pm and we were seated immediately. Our bags were placed in a small room behind the host podium and we were seated 20-30 meters from the door along the wall facing the bar. The menus were very comprehensive: large, descriptive and filled with graphics that left me wondering if I could try it all. I couldn't praise our server (Mindy) enough. She knew the kitchen, bar and any/all offerings like her own name. She had individual recommendations for each of us AND ADDITIONAL OPTIONS. I listened, ordered the Short Rib Prik Kang and indulged in a Verdant Whisper (Tequila, Cucumber, Lime). I'm not sure how but our food arrived less than 15mins later! The short rib looked good enough to make the entire restaurant jealous: the curry paste glistened in the light, the aroma called my name while the garnishes winked at me. To my disbelief, as good as it looked, it tasted even better! The sauce was robust, smooth, creamy & just spicy enough. Since the ribs slid off the bone, I mixed in the white mixed rice and ate it as a meal. I can proudly say I've never had anything like it. Oh yeah, the cocktail? Smooth, refreshing and relaxing. Worth every penny. I was elated with the overall experience and chose to pay for both of my friend's meals. My only regret is not having more to tip! Mindy gave us the table to chat for another 30mins but in the back of my mind I was still enamored from the meal. I had no expectations when I entered Mitr Thai but I left with a sincere amount of praise and admiration. From cuisine to the hospitality down to the furnishings, dining here was one of the best overall experiences I've had in YEARS. I cannot say enough about this establishment and I hope they Always Strive & Prosper. read more

I liked how the menu highlighted the cuisine of different regions in Thailand! Roti massaman was definitely my favorite dish. I would have ordered a full bowl of the curry if they had it on the menu. I also liked the flavors in the pad se ew. The tom kha gai wasn't as flavorful, and was a bit on the sweet side, but was nice for a cold winter day. It was very quick and easy to get a table for 2 on a Friday evening, and the servers were very quick and attentive. Very nice atmosphere and cute decor. read more

Super yummy and flavorful. We loved the pad see ew so much we opted to order their other flat noodle dish, the pad kee mao (but ended up much preferring the pad see ew because the pad kee mao was too spicy--which, to be fair, we were warned!) The short rib, roti, and kra prow were also amazing. The chicken skewer was a bit too drenched in sauce, while the hot pot broth was much sweeter than we were expecting. Super busy and popular place. Our full party arrived at 12:40 for a 12:30 reservation, and we waited another 10m to sit down. But we stayed for a while and didn't feel rushed out! read more
