Chicken Khao Soi
Michele S.

We showed up at 4:45 on a Wednesday and were third in line. Upon opening we weee called within 10 minutes. The duck rolls were hot and the inside was flavorful. The sweet sauce on the side complemented it well. I had the Karee Pu because the waiter said it was really popular. It was so creamy and like nothing I have tasted before. Delicious! The consistency was so thick and flavorful! I could have made two meals out of it. My companions had chicken kao soy. I've also never had that flavor. It was spicy, almost too spicy for me but that flavor! That's a "last meal" request type of dish! We drank multiple Saratoga little bottles, my only change was that I would have liked larger bottles offered. The staff was quick and helpful, it ran seamlessly. I felt we were in good hands. This is an outstanding establishment that makes me rethink other five stars I've given, wish I could rate it higher. My daughter tells me the portions are the same if Doordashed.

Overall: 5 stars Soothr was a Michelin rated restaurant that has some solid quality Thai food so I was eager to go back for a second round since its been a while. The quality seems to have lasted between the gap and maintains very consistently solid with good service, an interesting menu, and well executed tasty food. I greatly appreciated that they take all dietary restrictions very seriously, reaching out about dairy beforehand and checking in multiple times at the restaurant. (Hoi Johr: C) - Meat forward appetizer encapsulated by a crisp wrapped bean curd. The meat filling is tender and pairs well with that classic thai glaze. The presentation could be made more appealing though. (Pad Thai: B) - Petite portion of Pad Thai, but the flavor profile is solidly there with the sweetness, saltiness, and sourness such that no component overpowers. This one makes a particularly great lunch deal. (Crab Fried Rice: A) - Light but hearty fried rice that is subtle on the palette and paired well with tenderly delicate crab meat. The green sauce adds a herbaceous acidity that gives a second life to the dish. Food: +1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: +2 Menu: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli: @amei_eats Insta/TikTok: @ameizing.race

Moo Dang Puff,  Khao Soi Moo Todd (Spring 2026)

Soothr has great Thai food and an incredible interior and ambiance. Great for a cute lunch or dinner, and very Instagram worthy food and decor. We made a reservation online for around 3-4 PM, and the service was accommodating and polite. The food was excellent and the portions were generous too. We ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer for 3 people and it ended up being the perfect amount if not a little too much. We ordered the khao soi moo tod which was a noodle dish with katsu on top. It was very fragrant and spiced, with a curry like sauce and bouncy noodles. There was a lot of meat on top so it was very filling. The stewed beef was also delicious, a little spicy and very tender. It came with rice too. The moo dang puffs were probably our favorite, and they were recommended to us by the server. They were light and crispy, and the filling inside was warm and hearty. Overall, definitely recommend Soothr. There's definitely a lot of hype around this place and I get why!

Unfortunately we were underwhelmed. I've had many Thai Boat noodles in my life and this one, even vinegar and chili condiments couldn't fix it. Something was just missing! The pork meatball app was ok. It was just 3 small cooked meatballs with something that tasted like a sweet and sour sauce topping it off. The fried tofu app had the same sauce on top, except the fried tofu was actually good. My husband's duck noodles--- this was the biggest let down. The duck was perfection. The egg noodles though? Tasted exactly like instant ramen noodles that have been overcooked. My husband couldn't bring himself to eat the noodles, and I tried it, and understood why. A good cut of duck meat with overcooked instant noodles--- no, thank you. Service was good overall. The seating is a bit of a tight squeeze and the music was so loud it caused everyone to speak so loudly over it.

I visited Soothr in New York recently after hearing a lot of great things, and while there were some positives, my overall experience ended up being pretty average. First off, be prepared to wait. The restaurant was extremely busy, and the wait time to be seated was longer than expected. Even after getting a table, it still took a while for everything to move along--from placing my order to actually receiving the food. It definitely felt like they were a bit overwhelmed. As for the food, I ordered the duck curry, which unfortunately didn't quite hit the mark for me. The flavor leaned noticeably sweet--more than I was expecting for a curry--and it overpowered the other elements that usually make these dishes rich and balanced. It wasn't inedible, but it just didn't have the depth or complexity I was hoping for. The service was okay overall. The staff was polite, but interactions felt a bit rushed and not especially attentive, likely due to how busy the place was. We didn't have any major issues, but nothing stood out in a positive way either. The atmosphere itself is lively and trendy, so I can see why it's popular, especially for a night out. However, between the long wait, average service, and the food not quite meeting expectations, I'd say it was more of a 2-3-star experience for me. I might give it another try someday, but it's not at the top of my list to revisit.

Had this place recommended to us so grabbed a weekend lunch reservation. We arrived 30 minutes early and waited in line for check-in for about 10 minutes or so. Soon after we were brought in and taken to our table. Service was friendly and frequent. When we needed something, someone was always close by to help. The food was as good as we've heard. The duck curry and pad thai were excellent with excellent flavors without being too salty which I experienced at other similar restaurants. The place itself is right but beautifully decorated. Nice spot all in all on the east side of the city - recommended.

Chicken Khao Soi
Gregg Y.

Soothr was highly recommended by the internet and friends who live in the city and it did not disappoint. The Moo Dang Puffs were a great start to the meal. Crispy, delicate, and most importantly, delicious. The main course consisted of the Panang Duck Lychee Curry, and the Chicken Khao Soi. Panang Duck Lychee Curry was delightful. Savory, sweet, spicy but not overly so. After walking in the rain all morning, it felt like a warm hug. The Chicken Khao Soi was wonderful in a different way. A tad more spicy than the curry but it's not going to knock you on your ass. We left Soothr full and happy that our expectations were exceeded. Soothr has pretty much ruined any other Thai food since we left NY and we can't wait to dine here again.

Chicken Khao Soi
Audric R.

My friend took me here on my first night in NYC. This is probably the best mix of sweet and savory coconut curry I have tried. Would definitely recommend the Chicken Khao Soi if you are a first timer. Service was excellent and fast. Restaurant has a great ambiance with dim lighting and closely set tables. Good place to get to know someone. Best Thai Place I've been to in a while.

Plum Za, IPA (?)
Amy C.

We had a wonderful time at Soothr! We went for Valentine's Day & had a reservation at 12. The place looks small from the outside but it was surprisingly spacious. It is definitely a super popular spot, after a few minutes the inside was packed with people! We ordered drinks & I had the Plum Zaa which was very refreshing with the flavor of salty plum. It helped cut through the oiliness & heaviness of everything. All the dishes were EXCEPTIONAL. I absolutely loved the yum kaw moo as it was SUPER limey, with a good kick. I highly recommend it!! The noodles were delicious as well. The Karee Pu noodles were SO creamy with generous crab lumps. Not spicy at all but OH so fragrant. The beef pad si-iw was sweet and a bit more oily but the noodles were so soft and silky. It had a good bit of smokiness as well! The service was decent for the most part & overall I would definitely recommend making a stop here! We also had leftovers :)

Mango ice cream w/ sticky rice
Evan Z.

The koong karee was extremely rich, creamy, and flavorful, yet still light enough to drink it on its own. Combined with the small bits of fresh shrimp and jasmine rice, this curry dish was super unique and delicious. If you go during lunch, you can get complementary meatballs (above average tasting) and half off Thai iced tea (which was quite good)! The mango ice cream with sticky rice was also quite enjoyable, the mangoes were super fresh and the sticky rice was perfect. I think the koong karee was the perfect choice for my first time at soothr since it's extremely unique compared to some of their other popular dishes. I do want to come back though; I will update this review when I do :) Service and ambience were pretty standard for a busy nyc restaurant, it's not really a place I'd want to spend too long at. 4.9/5

Lunar new year limited cocktail
Rafael N.

Walked in on a Sunday @ 6 o clock during the blizzard. Was able to get a spot but probably not on a normal Sunday. Was packed despite the weather when we left at 7 ish. Food: Duck curry was excellent as usual. Could eat 2 of these myself. The braised chicken was good but not incredible. Especially after eating at uncle Ray's the previous day. Tamarind cocktail was nice. Smokey and sour and a bit sweet. Ambiance: Decor was on theme. Busy. Service: Very attentive. They check your coat by the door too. They don't allow outside food and drink.

Had Yai Chicken
Seung Woo G.

This place was super busy on a Sunday afternoon but we still got seated really quickly without a reservation needed. Their interior is pretty narrow and cramped with how closely tables are put together but gives a cozy/chaotic feeling. The star was definitely the Koong Karee. The shrimp was cooked so well I've never had shrimp with a texture like this before. The sauce was creamy, so unique and addicting. I tried the same dish from a thai place where I live (NoVA), but Soothr's version takes the cake by far. The eggplant dish was also very good, eggplants were perfectly cooked but if you're looking for a more unique thai dish then you can skip this, it has a typical Kra Prow flavor. The Had Yai chicken appetizer was also very good, it's basically fried chicken with sweet chili sauce but the flavors again of the seasoning and the sauce were subtle but unique. Would definitely come back for the Koong Karee and to try other items.

The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

He even chatted with us for a bit after to tell us more about attaboy. I'm rounding up to 5 stars but I will say our experience with the "bouncer" was a bit unpleasant. He called us to let us know our table was ready but we missed the call (our fault). We returned the call immediately and got there within a couple minutes anyway. We were ready to patiently wait for the next availability but were met with some attitude and unnecessary comments from him during the waiting experience. Regardless, we had a great time inside to make up for this. Highly recommend, but just be sure to make a reservation or be on alert and on time when getting off the waitlist.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily.
