I came here for a weekday dinner at 6pm (early style) and the place was empty. My expectations were very low but I must say, their food was top notch, exceeding some of the fancier Thai places I've been to recently in NYC. It just goes to show that popularity doesn't always equal quality! The papaya salad and pad Thai hit the spot. The ambience was solidly casual so it is perfect for so many occasions without being too stuffy. I will definitely be back here to satisfy that low key Thai food craving! read more

Soho Thai - pad thai with veg and tofu - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I've eaten a lot of Thai food and even make it at home. It's one of my favorite cuisines. Unfortunately, I would rename this place So-So Thai. I had the $19.95 lunch special. I chose chicken basil stirfry, tom yum soup and Thai coffee. The stirfry was watery instead of having a stirfry consistency. Flavor was OK but the soggy texture brought it down. Not that many vegetables. The chicken was sliced very thin and it was too chewy. Tom yum had very few mushrooms. To sum it up, this is uninspired Thai food that delivers the bare minimum. The service was OK, but they tried to take my food before I was finished. They do make an effort for the ambience with Thai movie posters. read more

Soho Thai - Chicken basil + tom yum - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

This restaurant was designed with such a unique style. The furniture is made from cherry wood and beautiful. The seat had curves to really hold your body. The lighting was dim. The ceiling was dark with black and trimmed in a lighter color with the perfect contrast in asymmetrical squares. The lighting was warm. I loved it! I ordered the Golden punch, crispy dumplings with pork and the Pad Se Ew with shrimp. Ughhhhhhh, when I say everything was delicious. I mean it! The crispy dumplings came out first and they were hot and stuffed to the brim with meat. They were crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor. I loved the fact that they weren't greasy. Next up, my alcoholic beverage with vodka, passion fruit and pineapple juice garnished with thistle and a dried blood orange. It was visibly pleasing and tasty. The only disappointment was the tiny black straw given that assured tiny sips. LoL!!! The entree was sooooooo good! It had broccoli, scrambled eggs, flat rice noodles, and shrimp in the most satisfying sauce. I ate every drop! Listen, the service was 10/10. Our server gave appropriate wait time. Downside, she didn't recommend any dishes or weigh in when I was indecisive about my meat choice. However, everything was brought to the table in a timely manner. The water was cold and had an appropriate temperature with ice. Which was a great way to start a dining experience. It ended with her asking, "would you like anything else from the menu? The kitchen is closing shortly". I appreciated that. If you're ever in the area and want Thai, I recommend SoHo Thai. read more

I'm surprised this restaurant does not have a higher rating because I had a positive experience here. The lunch special was pretty great. Given how pricey restaurants usually are in SoHo, it was nice to discover somewhere budget-friendly. The lunch deal comes with an appetizer, main course, and a drink. I chose the clear broth soup as my starter and the basil chicken for my main dish. Both were delicious. Overall, 4 stars. read more

I went to soho Thai for lunch and I ordered the crispy vegetable rolls, as my meal I ordered a Pork Pad Thai. The vegetable roll was delightful. I greatly enjoyed my pork pad Thai; it was great portions of both the noodles and the pork. The service was fantastic, quick, but I also didn't feel like I was rushed out of the restaurant. My waitress let me hangout for a bit in the restaurant and enjoy my lunch meal as I take a long time to eat. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very nice; perfect spot for a date night, or to come with friends. I liked their dim lighting it gives off a cool vibe. The restaurant was quite busy with people having lunch and also with pickup orders. 10/10 Thai restaurant recommendation in Soho. read more

Perfect neighborhood staple. Happy to see this place is still here. I was in the neighborhood & stopped by for lunch. They've got a great $20 special- appetizer, entree, & drink. Had the Tom Yum Chicken Soup, Drunken Noodles, & Thai Iced Tea. Everything was delicious & I'm still thinking about that soup. Staff is friendly & attentive. Quiet & calm ambiance. Small space but still spacious enough where it doesn't feel like you're sitting on top of other people. read more

I got the Tom Yum soup with chicken to start and it was packed with flavor with a kick of spice. For my main, I got the udon noodle with beef which was delicious! My friend got the woon sen soup and the wok which she loved as well! Can't wait to come back to try more read more

Stopped by for dinner with 2 friends and were seated inside immediately. Soho Thai has a great menu, especially for those new to Thai food. Highly recommend the Thai iced tea as well! I had the drunken noodles, which were super filling but not too greasy and had a good amount of vegetables, and my table split the fried tofu appetizer, which I enjoyed. One thing I liked about Soho Thai was that it was very straightforward, but in my opinion, a good place to bring someone who has never tried Thai food and doesn't typically choose to dine out at Asian restaurants but still wants to venture a bit outside their comfort zone. The prices were fair for what was provided, and the menu has options for different kinds of moods one might be in, and the variety should accommodate dietary needs (GF, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc.) This restaurant was good and the food was tasty, but there wasn't anything about it that truly wow-ed me, if that makes sense, and I do feel like I would probably want to try another spot the next time I'm craving Thai. read more

Soho Thai - Udon Drunken Noodles ( spicy), Fried Tofu - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

A tried and true favorite, I've eaten at + ordered delivery from Soho Thai since 2016. I get the same few things every time. Their Pineapple Fried Rice is a favorite (my personal hangover cure) - I get it spicy and with no tomatoes. Love the roasted cashews in there. I love the massaman curry as well. Delicious + flavorful curry that goes perfectly with the spongy tofu. Pad thai is good, nothing that special about it. They have a great lunch special too which I haven't been to in a while as I no longer work in the area, but the folks working here were always nice and the service is quick. read more

SoHo Thai, a restaurant I've been frequenting for over five years, has undergone a significant change that has left me disappointed. First and foremost, the food has lost its appeal. It's as if the new owners have altered the recipe, resulting in a noticeable decline in quality. I'm not entirely sure if this is the cause, but it's a factor that has contributed to my dissatisfaction. Secondly, the staff has become extremely rude and unprofessional. I used to overlook this aspect because I was so enamored with the food. However, during my recent visit in mid-April, the waitress crossed a line that I had never witnessed before. She acted as if she didn't understand English, even though she clearly did when it came time to receive her tip. She was particularly rude to my husband when he asked her a simple question about the soup. She seemed completely clueless and slammed his drink on the table, which resulted in it getting all over my new and expensive purse. It's disheartening to see such behavior from a restaurant staff member, especially when they know how to speak English, especially when it comes to receiving a tip. My husband, who is more tolerant than I am, did tip her, but it's clear that her behavior is unacceptable. Such a shame seeing I used to love eating there. FYI- It was just us she was rude to I witnessed her acting rude to the table sitting next to us. In conclusion, SoHo Thai has lost its charm and has become a disappointment. The food has deteriorated, and the staff has become unprofessional and rude. If you're looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant. read more

Some friends and I had dinner plans and we found this restaurant and decided to try it out. Going in, we were excited, we just moved and are new to this part of Manhattan so finding new go-to restaurants is a big deal. Unfortunately our excitement was quickly met with disappointment upon our arrival. We stood there for about five minutes just waiting to be seated (the restaurant was nearly empty) and the waitress was staring at us from the counter instead of inviting us in. Once we were seated, the waitress was not warm and did not greet us at all. Within our first five minutes of being sat at the table she came to ask what we wanted for our entrees. After asking for a little more time to decide, she left us for over 15 minutes and when we politely raised our hand to queue her we were ready to put in our orders, we were ignored and she went to another table to assist them with something instead. Once our orders were finally placed, the rest of our experience felt cold and rushed. Unfortunately, this did not seem to be the case for others who were dining it; making it feel as if our race and skin color was the true problem. The quality of food was actually decent which made our experience even more disappointing, as the service was extremely poor the entire time. There's so many restaurants in the area, you may be better off skipping this one. read more

This is for delivery only* I ordered a Thai green salad with peanut dressing and a side order of lightly fried Tofu for lunch. The food was prepared safely and neatly: sauces were secured with tape and on the side to prevent spillage. The salad was fresh: greens, shredded carrots,,tomatoes, cucumbers and I was surprised to see tofu as well. The salad was delicious as was the peanut dressing. The portion size was filling for a lunch option. The fried tofu was delicious and plentiful and the sweet chili sauce ( with crushed peanuts) that accompanied them was sweet. I'm glad I found another Thai food option in Soho. I expect to dine in person in the future as the location, on Grand Street, is close to where I work. read more

Hands down my favorite Pad Thai in Manhattan. Cozy, dim lighting, excellent service, and a fantastic lunch special!

The food was good. I got green curry and my husband got red curry. It was a good price too. Medium spice was the right amount of spice. The flavour wasn't very bold compared to what we're used to. The edamame had the right amount of salt, and it was honestly bigger than I expected. I would get that for sure. So good. Also in the curries, it had the right amount of vegetables. The service was good, food came out fast, the server was really nice and patient with us asking questions. The restaurant was pretty big for soho. It has nice posters around and dimmed lights. Overall a good Thai place if you were in the area. read more

Food and customer service is always A1. I come here often for lunch special and I enjoy this place a lot

This is my "go to" place in Soho and view it as my personal cafeteria because I come her so often. It's easy, meaning no reservations required, it's fairly priced, and each and every dish I've ever ordered is prepared to near perfection. Just last night I ordered the duck with chili sauce and still thinking about the dish this morning. Cooked to perfection with crispy skin, a superb slightly sweet and spicy sauce on top, very tender duck, a side of nice fresh veggies and a bowl of rice...as close to perfection in a meal as you can get. On numerous occasions we get the soup dumplings which are kinda off menu and they are absolutely superb. My other favorite is the chicken in peanut sauce with a large helping of broccoli on the side. I know some here have said that waitresses are not overly friendly, but for me, they are extremely attentive and fast. They are not going to have a 10 min conversation with you about the weather, but they will do their jobs and with a smile on their faces! Love this place. read more

I've only gotten takeout from here not in-person but it's one of my favorites They can make it REAL spicy if you request it, and it's even more delicious Love the Kee Mao Noodles my favorite in the city read more

This place deserves a chunk load of stars! Came here on a very rainy weeknight, thinking there would be no patrons due to the weather and schedule. But to our surprise, there were quite a few parties. Moreover, it was very noticeable that the takeouts were nonstop all throughout the evening. That goes to show the solidness of this place - they seem to have great customer base; which validated our confidence to try it out. However, I was also here to support local businesses. We were immediately greeted right away. There were indoor options and really nice outdoor set up. Due to rain, we had to be inside. The safety protocols were set up in place and it's to our comfort in knowing that they took their guidelines seriously. Everything was very clean and tidy. The decor was superb and the location was also very convenient. This is actually a great lunch or dinner spot after shopping in Soho (great name, btw). The menu items were very straightforward. Tried pork chops, roti, chicken wings, clear broth noodles, and pad thai. All were very solid thai items. It also seems like overall, the entire menu was pretty decent. The curry was also very good. But one highlight that deserves some pointing out, are their mixed cocktails. They were done so nicely and their menu gave GREAT choices. We will be back again, I saw the raving reviews with the pineapple fried rice. Would like to try that out again next time, along with a few more choices. I am very glad for all these positive reviews because it means I have hit the right spot. Please consider supporting your local businesses - they are the reasons why a neighborhood can continue to provide us with various options for customers like us. Without them, our palate would be bland each night, each weekend. It is because of the diversity in nyc that we have an overwhelming opportunity to give us all great foods! I am truly grateful for being in a city that never sleeps, that has proven their resilience, and it is through these local businesses that we have a reason to keep going out and enjoying the best what the city has to offer. read more

Let me start off by saying the best thing about this place: the pork dumplings. My 5 year old was begging for soup dumplings after our visit to the Sloomoo Institute but we didn't have much time before we had to head back home. So we found this place a block away and he settled for regular fried dumplings instead. He ate 2 whole orders of them they were so good! I tried one and loved it. Perfectly crispy, lots of flavor. We also got the Papaya salad and 3 orders of the Pad See Ew but with udon noodles. All very good. The noodles were a bit over done but the flavor overall was great. The Thai iced coffee was delicious but it was a bit too sweet for my friend (I liked it). If you like sweet, it's for you. My only real complaint is that I ordered dumplings and a pad see ew to go. They forgot my dumplings even though I paid for them and by the time I got home and noticed it was too late (I live in Queens). The pad see ew wasn't sealed properly and spilled all over the bag. So dine in was great. But the takeout aspect was eh. The service was good but not anything special. I would recommend they wait until your plate is clean or ask first before they remove a plate that still has food on it. My son was still eating when the server took his plate. Anyway. 4 stars because it was a decent place besides the hiccups. We all really enjoyed the food. read more

Absolutely amazing meal at SoHo Thai!! The service was incredible and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful in picking out the perfect order. Even the simplest dishes were packed with so much incredible flavor. I couldn't recommend it enough. We even got to try out some authentic northern Thai dishes that were unlike anything I've had before in NYC. I especially loved the ground chicken lettuce appetizer and the udon drunken noodle. Definitely recommend for an easy delicious dinner!! read more

Came here for happy hour and dinner. Covid wise - the tables are a bit close, but there wasn't anyone there when we went so it was fine. v One of the few places that are offering a happy hour so a plus one to them. They have $3 beers and $6 wines EVERYDAY from 4 - 7! The service was decent, nothing over the top and nothing bad. The massaman curry was great! The perfect amount of spice for someone who can't really eat spicy food. There was also a large amount of chicken in it, almost wish there were some additional greens in there. The curry puffs were great. They come with four and they were delicious and piping hot. For the city, this place is definitely a great spot to stop by if you are doing something in SoHo. It was a quiet area so no one was interrupting us but there are enough people going by that you have something to people watch. The value of the food was a good deal and can't be an every day happy hour! Swing by if you get a chance! read more

You get a drink, appetizer, and entree. If you're someone who eats a lot, you may still be hungry after! The Thai tea was delicious and tasted authentic. The food was flavorful and the chicken dumpling was crispy. It was covered in sauce and it went so well with the dumpling. read more

Had the pleasure of being amongst my friends for a gathering, and what an excellent choice to make all that happen at Soho Thai! It has been a while since my friends, and I have gone up since the pandemic hit. Therefore, it was truly a very refreshing and renewed experience to finally be out, be in the company of awesome pals and specially to enjoy good food. We came on a Sunday evening, and initially it was not packed. But the carry-outs were endless. The delivery company's employees were just in and out the door all evening. Then as the night went on, the lights dimmed, and the crowds were increasing. Luckily, I arrived early enough with my group before the seats were all filling up! As for food, I have nothing much to say except that it was incredibly delicious but also the portions were quite a bit. I had to doggy bag the rest of my dinner. That also explains why the to-go's were doing exceptionally well, all through the evening. There was also a wide variety of drinks. The desserts were too hard to resist, had the fresh mango with sticky rice. By the end of the night, was totally stuffed, but also felt like I did not have to eat for another few days. That was how much that was offered, well - it was also how much we had ordered as a group. The dinner can also be served family style, given the quantity. The only down part that I had to say was that it was just so busy, that the wait staff were stretched thin. This is not their fault. It is because the food and service and overall restaurant was just that good. The restaurant and entire staff in this establishment deserves well over 5 stars. I plan on coming back for lunch because I noticed their special menu, since I work in the downtown area. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant a couple of times and always enjoyed the food and service. However today when I walked in with my daughter a woman came over and just said "2 people". I asked if we could sit outside and she said nothing but made a very annoyed face and started walking outside. I asked if there was a problem with that and she didn't answer. Outside she waived her hand at the sidewalk sign (that wasn't even for our table) and said I could scan that menu . I decided to go elsewhere . I'd rather eat somewhere that treats customers with a friendly and welcoming manner not with annoyance . We went to Top Thai on Sullivan St. excellent choice great food and service with a smile! read more

Went during lunch special hours which is from 12pm to 4pm for $14.95. We got two orders of the lunch special. Starter: crispy vegetable roll, papaya salad Main dish: pad see ew with tofu, panang curry with tofu Drink: 2 Thai iced teas We also ordered the fried tofu dish. I would say this was worth it for the cheap price. The pad see ew, fried tofu, and vegetable roll were really good. The thai tea though was 0/10. It was flavorless and watered down. You're better off getting a soda or something else. Service was also okay, we had to go up to the desk to ask for a menu. Overall cost was about $40. read more
