Would 100% come back and this is probably my favorite Thai restaurant I've been to in New York so far. The drinks are pricey, but the drinks are absolutely stunning. We got the rose quartz and the diamond and they were both lovely. The chive cakes were a bit sweet, but honestly they came in clutch because the chicken khao soi was so spicy (but also sweet though) I needed something to offset it besides my cocktail. Would recommend honestly just getting rice if you get this dish. The curry itself is insanely flavorful though. I wish the chicken was boneless obviously, but wasn't bad and they fry they do on it is so light I didn't mind it. The chicken ki mao was also very spicy, but so yummy. It also came out piping hot, which I love them for. The mango sundae was solid. The mango ice cream was a sorbet on the icier side, so wasn't in love with that. I'll never complain eating the mango sticky rice though. Not the best one I've ever had, but still good. read more

Went to Soothr, a Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in the East Village, on a weekday for an early dinner with a friend. I was able to book the reservation on Resy about a week in advance, and closer to the date I was able to adjust the time in the app, which is often a challenge. We arrived a little late, but it was not an issue and we were seated shortly after both of us arrived. The restaurant is quite large, with multiple dining rooms, maybe four or five in total and we were seated toward the back. Tables are on the smaller side and fairly close together (typical for many East Village and Lower East Side spots). Despite being in the back, service was attentive and prompt. After being seated, we were directed to a QR code to view the menu. We skipped cocktails and just had sparkling water. For food, we started with the duck rolls. They were very warm, but I did not find them particularly flavorful on their own, though the accompanying sauce added a nice kick. We also ordered the Soothr jeeb dumplings (ground pork and shrimp) with a spicy soy vinaigrette. Similar to the rolls, I found them somewhat bland without the sauce, and I was not a big fan of the ground shrimp texture. The standout was the ribs, which were extremely tender and fell right off the bone. The flavor profile was different from what I usually expect, I prefer a sweeter flavor, but they were well-executed and enjoyable. Lastly, we shared the karee pu noodles ($30), with jumbo lump crab in an egg curry sauce over yellow noodles. The dish had great flavor, but it was served at room temperature, which took away from the experience. Service was very efficient, we were in and out in about an hour. The four dishes were more than enough for two people. Overall, I thought the food was good, but I was not particularly impressed. The ribs were well-prepared and the noodles had strong flavor (temperature aside). I'm a big fan of Thai food, but I would likely try another Thai spot before returning. read more

Exceptional Thai food in an area surrounded by great options. Recommend reserving on open table at least a week prior if you're going here on a Friday/Sat night! Khao Soi was excellent, bartender/server was very kind to me and I felt at ease, even as a solo diner. Really appreciate the great service and awesome food! read more

Great experience at Soothr with my family recently. We went at lunch time given the usual dinner rush, and still had to wait ~25 mins for a 1:30pm Saturday lunch. The restaurant itself isn't very large so wait is to be expected. The staff was kind and knowledgeable (my mom doesn't love spicy and the server was able to steer her in the right direction). Now the food... absolutely amazing. It was reminiscent of a fantastic restaurant in Philly (Kalaya) but on a slightly more causal scale. The duck dishes and Karee were my favorite, but everything we ordered was delicious and high quality. I would absolutely return given the amazing food and reasonable pricing at Soothr! read more

Aesthetically pleasing restaurant with energetic crowd. Food was delicious and very tasteful. I recommend the roasted eggplant salad and the shrimp curry. Will be getting the shrimp pad thai next time I visit! This restaurant lived up to the hype and deserves its Michelin stars! read more

Really wanted to love Soothr as I've heard only positive things about them, but lesson learned: just because it's for everyone doesn't mean that's necessarily a good thing. I tend to deter from the crowd and actually tread the opposite of everyone which proved the point of the masses vs. my opinion on it. No offense but offense provided-the clientele and neighborhood is already a dead giveaway to the authenticity of the food and restaurant. As a table of two with no reservation, we only had to wait around 20 minutes for a table inside. The menu is based off a QR code with no photos just descriptions for guidance and there are no substitutions allowed-the pad see ew only comes with chicken, no mock duck/seafood/protein alts which was a bit odd. Majority of popular dishes are meat based; the highlight of our dinner was actually the crab fried rice! The seafood tong yum was mid at best however the broth went really well on top of the rice. It can be hard to navigate around the restaurant let alone carry a conversation, so I'd be interested to see if the sidewalk dining experience is any better... read more

Food was fantastic, drink menu was very creative and the presentation was amazing as well. We got placed under a freezing AC but they turned it down for us and the wait staff was very friendly. Pretty dang crowded even on a Wednesday night! The chicken khao soi lived up to the hype, but the seasonal mushroom dish fell flat. It feels impossible to accurately rate Soothr after one experience since there are so many dishes to try, but it was really delicious. I'm just not entirely sure it's that much better than other authentic Thai restaurants in the city. Needless to say though, I'll be back to try more (probably at the LIC location next!) read more

Always people waiting to eat here.. my friend made a reservation a month out.. The ambiance is cool- hip Asian, playing Wong car Wai movie on the screen. Trendy. Noise level is busy but the music isn't loud so you can hear conversation over the table. Food and drinks are pretty excellent. I loved my ba mii, SO delicious. Not a huge amount of food for the price though. Service is very fast but I wouldn't say superbly friendly. read more

We ordered the Chicken Khao Soi (8/10) and a summer special -- Ba Mii Jap Kung (9/10). Both dishes were packed with flavor and really hit the spot. A friend tried the vegetarian Massaman curry, which was just okay (6/10). I'd skip the basics here and go for what they're known for -- the more unique dishes definitely shine. The service was great -- our server was super friendly and helpful. The vibe of the place was fun and energetic -- perfect for a casual night out with good food read more

The ambiance is great. As a vegetarian options are limited and substitutions are not permitted. Based on reviews of the vegan curry being sweet, we opted for the eggplant and sautéed pea shoots curry. The former was tasty, though not as garlic-y as other eggplant curries I've had. Appreciated that each dish came with rice. Overall worth a try, but given the number of Thai restaurants in the city, not sure if we'll return. read more

Very busy, I recommend making a reservation a few days in advance to get a specific time to eat. The duck rolls were great. The beef si-iw was a little too sweet but it you do get it then ask to increase the spice level if you like spice read more

Soothr - Beef Pad Si-Iw - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Soothr is a great spot to show visitors so I tend to come here a lot. There are dishes I always get (Chicken Khao Soi, Beef Pad See Ew, Duck Noodles, Crab fried rice) but then I love to try new dishes each time too. This is a review of the new dishes. Pork salad - this is being added to my list of repeats. It was sooo good!! Tangy, spicy, perfectly cooked. Moo dang puff - it was good, but light flavor. Not a stand out to me. Fried dumplings - also good and better than the moo dang puff but I think I also would skip this one. Shrimp curry - actually pretty good! Shrimp was cooked super well and the curry had a great flavor with a hint of spiciness. I would recommend this one, but it's hard to get two curries since they're similar in flavor and so I'd prefer the khao soi. read more

The Thai food scene in New York is insanely good and Soothr definitely shines as one of my favorite spots in the city! Whenever we visit the city we make it a point to make a reservation to Soothr as the Thai food here is authentic and delicious. We have tried the Duck Curry, Sticky Ribs, Pad Thai, and Shrimp Curry (Koong Karee). The duck curry was really good and the flavor of the lychee and okra help highlight the flavor profile of the duck. The sticky ribs appetizer was also good and had an umami and sweet flavor to it which we really enjoyed. For the pad thai it was really good and I love how they plated it with their egg net which made it visually stunning. Lastly the shrimp curry was not bad but the texture is very interesting. It was like almost like a grated radish texture in a curry almost. The flavor was good but the texture was weird initially. The service was great and the staff was very attentive and made sure we had our drinks refilled without any issues. They checked up on us a lot which showed that they actually pay attention to their customers. For ambiance it definitely gave an immersive experience and made me feel like I was almost in Thailand with the paintings and decor. 5/5 read more

I was recently charged for an item I did not order on my bill and didn't notice until I got home. I called the restaurant to ask them to refund it from the bill. They claimed they went ahead and did so, but it has not been reflected in my bank account at all. Very fishy and their staff should be more careful about this when handing out checks. read more

Soothr - Dry Sukhothai noodles - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Service: fine, but inconsistent. Many people at 6pm were walking up to put their names down. However, I was told I couldn't put my name down until my full party was here while the hostess accommodated someone after me to put her name down despite also not having a full party. The service is fast and they make it clear that it's 1 hour and 15 minutes at the top, so if you have a big meal you order, it feels rushed towards the end as they keep eyeing the progress you're making on that last big bowl of dessert every few minutes. Food: Khao soi sai ua was my favorite dish. The texture of the soft bouncy noodles with crisp fried egg noodles plays well together, all dressed in this creamy sauce that is the drier version of a typical Khao soi broth. If you love dryer noodles, this is the one for you. Hat yai chicken, I would pass on next time. It didn't carry as much flavor as I would hope. Spice level on all things was very manageable. Maybe spicy enough for you to sip water but not too spicy to the point where you need to hose down your mouth. I also came here to redeem the Infatuation deal ($75 statement credit if you spend $150). They said that it has to be menu items that total up to $150, not the total bill. It's unclear based on Infatuation's terms and conditions but just as an FYI if anyone else is going for this deal. read more

Visited for the first time (regular weekday) for lunch as it was recommended to us by friends. Nice ambience and decorations. We were seated quickly when we had no reservations which was great. We were sat at the back of the restaurant which is fine with us. So far so good... Our server came briefly however she had the worst attitude! Very rude and just a blank face the entire time we were dining in. When we asked for recommendations she told us the name of the dishes in Thai with no explanation of what those dishes are so, of course we did not understand her and had to ask her again. All we got was another blank face and utter silence. We had to scroll the menu on our phones really quickly to find what she was saying and just ordered the dishes she recommended. We got the Karee Pu noodles $30, dry crab noodles $27 and the soft shell crab appetizer $22. Good amount of lumps of crab in the dishes. Soft shell crab was also crispy. We did not complain as it's our first time here and wanted to give this place a chance. Unfortunately our server made the whole experience unwelcoming and a no-go for us. Sorry but you need to train your servers better and not dish attitudes to their customers. P/S: This is not in-reflect on other male servers who at least gave us a smile when we were paying. read more

Was able to be seated quickly with reservations. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Seating in the back was crowded, but didn't take away from the experience. The oyster dish was recommended by the waiter. 10000/10 would come back just for it. The oyster paired with the curry sauce and rice was an explosion of flavors. I have never tasted something so delicious! read more

Vegetarian apps missed the mark, but the drinks and entrees are stellar! I made a reservation a few months in advance for a Saturday evening. We checked in and were promptly seated. Service was fast and efficient! Food & Drink: - Passionfruit Cooler: The most delicious cocktail! The Passionfruit is sweet and tart, perfectly complimented by the savory cream cheese foam. Must order! - Apps: Eggplant Buns and Chive Cakes - both were bland. We wished the eggplant had been spiced and the chive cake had zero chive flavor. - Vegetarian Massaman Curry: perfectly nutty, sweet, with a hint of spice. The veggies were so tasty. Loved! read more

Celebrate my birthday here with a reservation at 830. Only thing that annoyed me was that we didn't get sat until 845. Let's get down to the food. It's great. The service is good and efficient and the speed to which our food was delivered surprised me. We shared the vegetable masamun curry trio and the tom yum seafood hotpot. These two dishes really complemented each other well. The sourness of the soup, the richness of the broth, and the seafood was great, too. For dessert we had to do the mango sticky rice which I really enjoyed as well. read more

First Impressions: made reservations for a birthday party... it was a party of 9 and they wouldn't make the reservation without a contract guarantee that we would order at least $75 worth of food per person. I signed the contract just to ensure that we would have a reservation... but $75 is a lot of food... way more than any person was capable of ordering... not because of the price, but because each dish was about $35 so you would have to order two entrées just to fulfill the contract and none of us were hungry enough to eat two dishes each. The Noms: unfortunately this review was for a birthday dinner back in March 2025 (it is now July).... So I can't really remember everything that we ate. We did eat mostly family style (in the sense that everyone ordered an entrée and then shared bites of each other's food). I'm planning to come back despite my experience with the reservation contract.... I'll update my review then. I will say that all of the food was very good. In Conclusion: 10/10 would come back here again. I would do it as a dinner date, or dinner with a small group of friends... I would not do it for a large party. Anything more than four people would probably be too much of a hassle. If I can make a recommendation, I wouldn't mind putting my credit card down for a large party reservation... you can even charge a $35 per person penalty for no-shows... but requiring people to order a minimum cost of food each was a little bit difficult to reach. The restaurant ended up charging us the balance in food that we didn't eat or order to get the $75 per person charge that was in the contract. I think we each ate about $50 worth of food each, which was a huge waste. read more

I was in NYC for a day and my friends recommended this place. The food, service and ambiance were top notch. We went on a weekday for lunch and they have a special where you get a side dish plus soda with every purchase of a main entree. We got a few dishes to share, including the beef si ew, dry sukhothai noodle, karee pu crab noodle. Along with the grilled meatballs, dumplings and a Thai ice tea. My favourite was the beef si ew, although the beef could be a bit more tender but the noodles and wok hay really hit in the spot. The dry noodles and crab noodle were both really good too. We devoured everything. The Thai ice tea was delicious and a perfect pairing to this meal. The decor, plates and ambiance was a vibe. Everything was overall really good and I won't hesitate to come back again. read more

Finally snagged and reservation here and it was worth the wait! The three of us split 4 entrees and had plenty of food to take home. We got crab fried rice, pad see ew with no beef (I'm pescatarian), chicken khao soi, and the koong karee. My favorites were the pad see ew (some of the best I've had) and the koong karee but everything was truly so tasty! The proteins were perfectly cooked. I usually love khao soi but this wasn't my favorite- it was a bit too thick for me. Don't skip on the mango sticky rice, it was great! read more

I haven't had much Thai food before, but my dinner at Soothr definitely makes me want to try more. We had a 7PM indoor reservation on a Sunday and ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes to be seated. Once we sat down, we ordered cocktails and three dishes to share. The standout was the Chicken Khao Soi. Such a rich, flavorful curry with egg noodles and chicken. We couldn't stop eating it, and I'd come back just for that dish alone. The crab fried rice, on the other hand, was a little underwhelming and surprisingly bland. The shrimp pad thai was excellent and worth trying. Service was fine. Our waiter gave that "rushed" vibe and wasn't particularly friendly. Reservations are now through OpenTable (I recommend setting an alert). Takeout also seems popular, with a pickup table set up outside. read more

Absolutely loved the chicken kee mao and chicken khao soi. As far as Thai food goes, the flavors were very good! We also got the Thai iced teas and they were so much better than many others I've had, not as sweet! The only thing we didn't love was how fast all the food came out, we ended up with all our appetizers and most of the main entrees all out at the same time and really quickly too. Didn't give us enough time to fully enjoy it all. Our server was super nice and attentive though! read more

Delicious & stylish! Went on a Friday night & had to wait but not nearly as long as expected. The interior decor is very charming & immersive. Service was solid & they brought our food out impressively fast (less than 10 minutes after ordering)! The food was excellent, we tried the Yum Kaw Moo (tossed pork salad), Karee Pu Noodles (crab curry noodles), & stewed beef curry. All three were top notch. The Yum Kaw Moo was fresh & had a mild kick to it which contrasted nicely with the rich, creamy curry dishes. You might think two curry dishes is too many, but they were different enough (& delicious enough) to work well. read more

From outside looks v small it's v deceptive n but it's narrow n big inside. We were greeted by the host who told us that we had only 90 mins for our meal. The waitress took our order. And within 5-10 mins our food was out . Had the roasted eggplant salad w fried poached egg. Was different but tasted good.

Amazing. One of the best Thai places in the city if you ask me. The inside is a little small and cramped and a tiny bit loud but given its location, that's not very surprising, and the delicious food more than makes up for it. Note they do have a 90 minute time limit per reservation. The best dishes were the Koong Karee (shrimp in an egg curry sauce), Prik Pao Moo (one of the summer 2025 specials - perfectly fried pork belly), and the Panang Duck Lychee Curry (it was a little spicy for me but I'm a baby when it comes to spicy food - very embarrassing). The duck rolls and the mango sticky rice were also good. Although the chive cakes weren't bad, I probably wouldn't order them again. Note that I felt the portion size was a little small so maybe order more rather than less. The cocktails were fabulous. I loved the Pearl (whiskey based) and the Dara Citrine (mezcal based). Highly, highly recommend! Can't wait to come back. read more

Super popular Thai restaurant. We got lucky and only had to wait around 10 minutes for a party of 4. They have an hour and 15 dining limit which I think definitely keeps the waiting list moving. 4 dishes was a good amount for the 4 of us and we were all pretty full by the end Pak boong dai dang: 4/5. Pretty good but I think the sauce was slightly too salty for me Ba mii pu: 4/5. Pretty good but wasn't my favorite dish Chicken khao soi: 5/5. This was probably my favorite out of everything we had, would definitely recommend Panang duck lychee curry: 4/5. Wasn't sure what to expect since I've never had this dish before but I thought it was really good. Note that the duck fat is left on there though which I personally didn't love read more

Food was amazing. Noodles were perfectly tender (in both the pad see ew and karee pu noodles), and all the broths/sauces were so good. The duck was good and fatty, and the morning glory sauce was so good I was eating rice with it. The chive cakes were also great. The only thing I thought was okay was the summer special xiang xim yi--the sticky rice was really good, but I didn't like all the extra random stuff (millet, ginkgo, etc.) The decor was so cute and the place was bustling on a Friday evening. It does get a bit loud, and it was hard for our group of 5 to hear each other sometimes. Service was great. read more

Went here for my bday. Omgosh an experience. It's definitely Instagrammable because of its ambiance. Takes you to a very lavish Hong Kong atmosphere like in a Wong Kar Wai movie. But it's a Thai restaurant that puts a unique spin to the classics. We had the cocktails, and both are punchy and delicious. We got the main: forgot the names of those but got the puffs (HEAVEN), the dry noodles with pork belly (DELISH) and Krung curry I think, and again lovely. For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice but it's a little disappointing. I was expecting a diff kind of twist, but it's a regular sticky rice. I wished they put some textures to make it unique and satisfying. That's just me. Very very good of putting a sophisticated twist on Thai classics. The place is a little small but that's the catch to it, and there's a wait, so be prepared. The service is great and friendly. Lovely! read more

Have heard so much about this place! Stopped by on a Tuesday night around 630 and managed to get a spot at the bar without any wait time. Staff was super nice and gave me some nice suggestions to the menu. Came alone so couldn't order everything I wanted and had to go somewhere after and didn't want leftovers, so only limited myself to one dish. Got the crab curry noodles. Very good noodle texture. Curry was nice and creamy. Wish it had a little acid to it, since it was creamy and kinda on the heavier side. Lots of crab though! Def need to come back with a bigger group and try more dishes! read more

I highly recommend to not to go to this shitty restaurants if you have allergies or want to have good time because they will rush you and sent you off in 30 minutes . Awful service awful bullshit food. Go somewhere else. Take this from me I'm a professional chef. Go somewhere else don't waste your money read more

A friend recommended this spot and man, they weren't kidding--the flavors are huge. I grabbed the lunch special (appetizer, entree, and a soda) which is actually a pretty solid deal. I tried the Khao Soi and the crab fried rice; both were super fragrant, but that fried rice is definitely the winner. Lots of wok hay when they stir fried the rice. Just a heads up: definitely make advanced reservations. I went on a Monday and it was still slammed. The place is a bit of a squeeze and you'll be sitting pretty close to the next table, but the food comes out fast so it's worth it read more
