very very yummy! strongly recommend the drunken noodles, it was so delicious. the staff is extremely nice and always so attentive, my water cup was always filled! sadly mangos were out of season so i opted for the other dessert choice - chocolate lava cake with ice cream. it's also very yummy! the restaurant is on the dim romantic side, great choice for a date or gathering! read more

Cute little Thai eatery in upper east side, but there are a handful a tables for dining in. Loved the lunch specials which come with a choice of appetizer. I went with the spring rolls, which is the correct choice when pairing with a pork pad see ew. I really enjoyed the flavor and consistency of the protein. My wife went with the chicken pad see ew, and she found it a bit salty. Regardless of the salt level, the grating sounds of a jackhammer tearing up the street directly outside the front door does not make for appealing ambiance, especially when the door keeps sticking in an open position every time someone enters or leaves. read more

Lovely spot! Got there not too soon before they closed for their between lunch and dinner break and I didn't feel rushed at all. We ordered the coconut roti, which was deep fried and filled with fragrant coconut and mung beans, the Brussel sprouts, which were crispy and tasty, the steak khao soi curry (delicious broth!), and the five spice duck over rice which was perfectly tender. The spicy lemongrass cocktail complimented the food well. A great spot for a tasty and filling lunch! read more

Came here mid day for work lunch. Cute spot. Menu had so many good options and love the happy hour lunch specials. Price is decent. Staff quick on their feet and friendly. Food was amazing! Portions are a good size for an individual. Mom would be so proud I ate all my food. Ordered the pineapple fried rice with beef and side of spring rolls. I'd come here again. read more

Jes was very nice in helping us to secure a table in a busy Saturday night as we were running late. He was very helpful in making sure the night went smoothly and even gave us a complementary scoop just to wish happy birthday as we didn't opt for dessert. His personable interaction and gestures were really appreciated. Customer service was chef's kiss! Overall, the food was delicious, as usual. Lychee sake is so smooth & yummy. Always pleasantly pleased. Always will return. And let's not forget the art on the wall.. read more

Great food near Central Park after a race in Harlem. Service was fast and friendly. It was pretty inside and was comfortable for a small space. Our food was great! We had the chicken pad see ew and the chicken basil over rice. Thai classics that were cooked perfectly! There is also some outside seating when the weather is nice, restroom is clean, street parking, and BYOB. Would recommend! read more

Cute little Thai spot in East Harlem/upper east side! The interior decoration is fun. I ordered the chicken massaman curry. The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor of the curry was delicious. The waiters were attentive and refilled our waters constantly. Overall I had a good time. read more

Plue - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Plue is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in Harlem. The food is creative, delicious, and vegetarian-friendly. The cocktails are fun, unusual, and more complex than their reasonable price points would indicate. The pandan vesper is my favorite! The space is cozy and there aren't many tables but it's usually easy to walk in for dinner as a party of 2. Service is warm and the vibes are homey. Don't sleep on the mango sticky rice, which is possibly the best version I've ever had - excellent fresh mango, warm sticky rice, and a creamy milky sauce that isn't nearly as sweet as the usual canned condensed milk. read more

Plue is a vegetarian-friendly Thai spot on the Upper East Side with a surprisingly diverse menu of both classic and specialty dishes. I came here for dinner with a friend who primarily eats vegan, and we were both drawn in by the wide selection of mock meats. Most traditional dishes can be made with either soy chicken or mock duck (both seitan-based, I believe), which is impressive for a Thai restaurant that caters to both vegetarians and omnivores. I ordered the Five-Spiced Duck with rice and Chinese broccoli. While the flavors were delicious--especially the seasoning on the duck--the portion was quite small. It felt more like a lunch special than a dinner plate, and I was left wanting more. I even ended up sampling my friend's Red Curry with mock duck, which was very vegetable-forward with a solid flavor, but I still preferred the five-spice duck overall. Just wish there had been more of it. Unfortunately, my food arrived very cold--not just lukewarm, but genuinely cold, which was disappointing. I asked for it to be reheated, and the staff took care of it promptly. The service overall was polite and attentive. Despite the portion size and temperature issue, I really appreciated the menu variety. It's a step above your average Thai takeout, with interesting offerings like shrimp cakes and crab entrees I'd be curious to try next time. If they can improve consistency with plating and temperature, Plue could be a real standout. read more

Stumbled upon this nice little Thai place on 100 and Lexington. Thank you fellow Yelpers... your reviews are spot on and I trusted you since I'm not to familiar with this neighborhood Great for dinner and even better for lunch. One of the best lunch specials in NY. Choice of soup, or an app, and a main course for $14. Steamed dumplings were light and tasty. Thai basil with chicken was very good and just the right spice. Service was good and attentive. read more

Husband and I were out, craving Thai food to take home for dinner. We were close to going to a location in the Heights, but found this and gave it a shot. So glad we did!! We went in to order, wait time was about 15 mins or so. FOOD: I got the basil fried rice with chicken (medium spice) and my husband the pad see ew with beef. This is the best Thai food we've had so far! So flavorful and FRESH. I didn't get tired after eating, which I always do (carb overload). AMBIANCE: Very cozy, on the smaller side so long as you don't mind being close to other tables. Beautifully decorated, chill music. This is officially our new to go Thai spot from now on! (Ps: the Belgian wine bar is right next door, might hit it next! Ha) read more

Plue - Hot Basil Fried Rice, Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I've had Thai food at many restaurants in the Detroit area and in Toronto, too. This place beats them all. I got a lunch combo of Pad Thai and spring rolls. The spring rolls were perfect: steaming, not greasy, crispy but not brittle, cabbage-filled but not overly cabbagy, with bits of corn. They were drizzled lightly with a mild sauce with a slight bite. The Pad Thai was the best I've ever had: a delicately tangy sauce, wide rice noodles, savory scallions, chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, and perfectly crisped al dente tofu. Both of these items had a subtlety that I seldom taste. The restaurant had a pleasant, relaxed, small dining area with wood floors, about 10 two-seat tables, and a three-seat bar. 70s and 80s soul and R&B background music played softly. Service was relaxed and friendly. If you love Thai food and you're in the area, you should go here. read more

Two years later after opening and this place is still great! They had some new menu items I decided to try out with my fiancee. Worth venturing up to the UES to try this Thai spot out. For drinks, the fiancee had the Thai Iced Tea ($5) which was delicious. I tried the Midori ($12), which I don't recommend. Why did I get it? I was curious what it was. For appetizers, we tried their Turnip Cake ($9), which I really liked. It's a bit more friend from the turnip cake I'm used to having in Chinatown, but I liked the flavoring with the five-spice soy sauce they use. Another unique appetizer that I've haven't seen on our Thai menus is the Homemade Beetroot Dumpling ($12). Two of the dumplings are filled with beetroot while the other two are filled with peanuts. It comes with a salted coconut sauce to enhance the flavor to the dumplings. They do fall apart very easily, so it can get messy, but worth the try if you're feeling adventurous. We also had a cup of the Shrimp Tom Yum Soup ($7), which was flavorful and nice for a cold winder day. For entrees, I got the Steak Khao Soi Curry Noodle ($26). You may have heard of the traditional Khao Soi which they usually serve with a big chicken drumstick. So I was intrigued by the substation of the chicken with steak. Not bad. The fiancee got the All Natural Duck Udon Soup ($24). I liked her entree a lot better than mine. The udon and broth were fantastic, but that duck was the real winner, which the meat was prepared nicely. For dessert, had to get the Affogato with Thai Coconut Mochi ($10). They used cold brew Thai coffee instead of espresso and coconut ice cream. Delicious, but did not help keep me awake from the inducing food coma. read more

I love how cozy and intimate Plue is - I was lucky enough to be a walk-in and get the last available table immediately, but you're better off making a reservation. The service is phenomenal and the staff is so kind and very chatty! It is a smaller restaurant so every interaction felt very personal :) The food reminded me of a perfect warm little meal on a cold day - I think the food itself is very well-priced, but the real charm of this restaurant is the intimacy. Perfect for a date night, stunning decor, and delicious drinks too! One of my go-to's for a quick dinner with one or two friends or did date night! read more

Best thai restaurant for me in NYC! Hidden gem in the upper east side! The food is better than the food I ate in Thailand! Location: It is located along Lexington Ave! The interior is quite small but very nice bar where you can wait for you to be seated. Service: omg this guys are awesome! They gave us free thai tea while waiting! We are well taken care of. And they gave us good recommendations! Food: Everything was good! Like for real all the food was on point! CHIVE CAKE: crispy on the outside and soft inside, the sauce compliments the cake! Perfect appetizer. WINGS: crispy fried chicken wings! They tossed it in garlic sesame soy sauce! So good! PAD SEE EW: so the noodles here is what I like! I felt like they just made it. It was soft and chewy at the same time. The seasoning is perfect. PAPAYA SALAD: so good, very refreshing and again the seasoning is perfect.

My friend and I decided to hit up Plue for lunch today. He was hyped to try their mango sticky rice, only to face the tragic reality that mango season (or maybe just their stock) had disappeared faster than we thought. Out of season? Out of stock? Out of this dimension? Who knows! The mystery remains unsolved. We ended up going for their lunch special because, well, we were already there (and starving). I went for the chicken drunken noodles, while my friend opted for the tofu pad Thai. Both were decent enough, but let's just say neither of us had our minds blown. We did felt slightly rushed since the staff came up and mentioned they were closing at 3:30 pm -- probably some New Year's Eve prep? Yet somehow, a party was seated after us. The place is tiny, so maybe they were just playing table Tetris. Would I call this my most unforgettable dining experience? Sure -- if we're talking about being rushed, confused, and slightly let down. Would I come back? Meh, probably not. There's plenty of other great Thai restaurants to support. Two stars for effort and an extra half-star because my friend didn't cry over the mango sticky rice heartbreak. 2.5/5 read more

SERVICE - located on the upper east side near Mt Sinai - quaint interior with small tables for groups of 2-4 diners and limited outdoor seating - not very crowded for weekend lunch - service is friendly and welcoming - ambiance good for a casual meal MENU - classic selection of Thai dishes - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price ($18 per entree) FOOD - shiitake fried rice (6/10): rice berry sautéed with ginkgo nut, goji berry, and pecans. This was one of their signature dishes and it sounded quite unique. It is worth a try especially if you have never tried ginkgo before. I liked the addition of the pecans and goji berries for slight sweetness and tartness. Personally I was not a huge fan of the ginkgo as it tasted astringent and was not the texture I was imagining. - red curry (8/10): bamboo, eggplant, beans, bell pepper, fried tofu, and basil in spicy coconut curry sauce. This is exactly what you would expect from a curry. The sauce is rich and creamy with strong flavors from the spices. There is a good balance of vegetables to curry so it does not feel dry or watery. I did find some of the eggplant pieces to be a bit raw but otherwise a solid option. - drunken noodles (8/10): wide rice noodles with mixed vegetables and tofu. Another classic option, exactly what you would expect from this dish. Because of the fried tofu and fried noodles, it was a tad oily but not unbearable. - mango sticky rice (6/10): sticky rice topped with sweet mango and bathed in coconut milk sauce. The mango was the star of this dish. It was a variety that is deep orange and rich in flavor, unlike many of the ones conventionally available. The rice was for some reason slightly salty but it was fine when eaten as a collective bite. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It was a great option for times when you want comforting Thai food read more

Happy Birthday to Me!!!! My family took me out to eat one of my favorite cuisines "Thai Food." Plue Thai is a cozy little spot in the UES of NYC. We had reservations so we were seated upon arriving. Server was great and very attentive. Food came out piping hot and drinks were serve promptly as we sat down. Food was pretty quick to be served. Server was great at asking for the spice level I wanted because he knew Thai chilies are extremely hot and can harm someone. He recommended mild to begin and said I could add more if I wanted. MILD was more than enough lol. Restaurant is very small so strongly suggest making a reservation in order to be accommodated. Food was very good and I will definitely be back to try other dishes. Great birthday dinner read more

Plue Thai is a charming spot with ample tasty dishes on the menu. It is an intimate space so so you will be seated close to the next party, but you likely won't mind as the food is very good. We ordered massaman curry and pad see ew. The curry had a nice little kick to it, but was not too hot. The pad see ew was good. I ordered it with chicken and it had a good amount of chicken inside. The cocktails looked very good and I will definitely want to try them on another visit, particularly one with lychee. If you choose to take out, I found the service was pretty quick. Plue Thai is a welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

Today was the 2nd time going to this place. The first time it was on Father's Day, the service was excellent. The young woman serving us was very polite and attentive to our needs. The food was good. Today, the service was terrible. The gentleman serving us was more attentive to the people dining outside. We placed our orders. The appetizer came in maybe 20 minutes. We were done with the appetizer, 1 hr and 15mins. And no food. Our server passed our table several times and not one time he checked on us. Other people who sat afterwards received their food before us and we ordered a salad. Our food never arrived and the server really didn't care that we decided to leave. Never again, I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

3.5 stars. The desserts were amazing, especially the vegan coconut flan. The entrees for Restaurant week were a bit underwhelming. The Hokkien tofu texture and flavor were missing something. The dish didn't really come together. The cream pasta was interesting but a bit oversauced. Overall, great concepts with a lot of creative elements, just needs some work on the execution. The rest of the menu seemed more affordable and enjoyable than the prix fix options which may be a better way to go here! read more

The flavors were exactly what to expect in any typical Thai joint. My only gripe is that the chicken was not as smooth as I would have liked it. The interior is super cozy, and service was good.

Came here after a race in Central Park. We originally were going to a different spot but when we saw Plue, we knew we needed to try this. We sat outside and the service was prompt. Everyone ordered different dishes but I got the pad Thai. It was so flavorful and some of the best I've had in a very long time. I loved every single bite. Everyone at the table loved what they got.
