This was my second time here, and it was just as delicious as the first time! This was my first time trying their mixed drinks, and we were there just in time for Happy Hour. I like how they have it on weekends too, which isn't always the case. For only $8, I got the Thai Breeze, which is their take on a classic rum punch. I drank every sip! It's also the kind of drink that doesn't have a super alcohol-forward taste, but it creeps up on you. All I can say is, if was very well-made and had amazing flavor! That's definitely a common theme for me at this place. My parents and I also ordered their vegetable dumplings, as well as their shrimp summer rolls, which are both appetizers I would very strongly recommend. The wrappers on the dumplings were delicate, yet didn't break apart. The dipping sauce was mild flavored and had a very subtle sweetness. As for the summer rolls, those are an iconic item I can't miss at a Vietnamese restaurant, so I'm always happy when Thai restaurants have them on their menu. It's served with a thick, tamarind-based sauce, which adds a ton of flavor. They were also pretty sturdy. When it comes to Thai food, pad see ew has been my go-to for several years. I had Spice's pad see ew the first time I had went, but I figured I'd switch it up. I instead got their tofu and mixed vegetables with garlic sauce, which I've discovered in recent years is another favorite dish of mine. They use minced garlic on top that's stir-fried until it has a slight crisp. The entire dish was bursting with flavor. I'm not kidding when I say that every last drop of it was gone when I finished it. As for the servers, everyone in this place is very welcoming and accommodating. They serve everyone with a smile and a good attitude. Our server brought us our water soon after us sitting down, and was very pleasant the whole time. I'm also impressed by the versatility in their menu- they have a zucchini pad Thai, which uses zucchini noodles instead of regular noodles- my mom got it to eat, and she said she didn't miss the noodles. They also have a pretty substantial section of vegan dishes, which makes this restaurant even more amazing. Go support them! read more

Take advantage of their lunch specials that come with an appetizer for roughly $15. I was skeptical of the serving size of a lunch special but to my surprise, the portions are more than enough for lunch. The fried shrimp dumpling appetizer is a must try along with the pad Thai. Service was attentive and quick. Nice quiet place to grab a bite during a busy work day. read more

I recently popped into this Spice location after planning to eat at a not so distant place that told us we had to wait for an hour. We walked straight to Spice and it was a great consistent experience. I had the Roasted Garlic and Vegetables which was good and I tried the fried rice which was also good. Curry Puffs are always a go to item. read more

Excellent service, nice ambiance, and the food was amazing. We had the appetizer sampler and the chicken pad Thai. Would recommend to anyone craving a great Thai meal. read more

Ordered takeout on 12/16/25 7:40pm from Server Tanner: blackened noodles w/beef, nabon steamed dumplings & spring rolls. My receipt is so faded (lack of ink by restaurant) I cannot read it. All 3 dishes were lower in quality of ingredients ... some inedible. This chain was better in 2007 on West 20th & 8th Ave. I will not return. total came to $54. So disappointed. I do not recommend this place. Sad. I used to go 3-4 days a week for lunch @ the Chelsea location for years. Nothing lasts forever, I feel this chain will permanently close soon. ‍ read more

Classy little restaurant with excellent Panang curry!! It was nice to have Panang with green beans instead of bell peppers for once (I'm not a bell pepper fan), and the curry itself had a nice kick to it as well. The servers let me and my dogs wait at a table while they worked on my takeout order. They were super sweet with my pups. I'll for sure go back by myself for the full sit-down experience! read more

Had a delivery today and it was perfection! Mean oversaw my order and took my order on the phone. 100% efficient and helpful. So caring and sweet. Everything I asked for and it was packed to perfection and everything came up hot. Thank you to the chef also! I think he had something to do with The food being delicious! The best petite in the city and the best bean sauce For the dumplings! I love the lunch special and order it often. One start taking off until it regained its "a "health inspection. Right now it's a "B," but they already corrected the situation and just waiting to be reevaluated. It had nothing to do with the food. They just needed a new fan of which was replaced. I've had almost everything on the menu over the past many years, especially in the 13th St. restaurant because I lived in the village up until three years ago ago, but I find this restaurant, not the same beautiful atmosphere, but it's great for ordering or picking up or just to sit down with a friend to talk And enjoy good food and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant and thanks again, Mean read more

Came here with my friend and she loves Thai food. She had fried rice and I had the drunken noodle. I could say tho the drunken noodles didn't come packed in full flavor compared to other Thai spots I've been to but overall was pretty good. I would say the fried calamari was top notch and service was pretty attentive to us. We came during lunch hours so not much people were eating and relaxing music was playing in the area. Spice is a place to start your exploration of Thai food for sure. A good 7/10. read more

. My partners vegetarian dumplings were good and the spring roll were ok-but 3 small average spring rolls for $10! Cmon. Waste of money

Quite impressed by the food. Better than many other Thai places in UES who serve non authentic Thai fare. This place had good flavor and simple / clean dishes Service was quick and efficient read more

I have always been a fan of the Spice restaurants. My family have been patrons for years. One night I stopped in to pick up some dinner for the family and once again, the food was amazing. Hubby had the pulled pork sando which he loved. I ordered a half crispy duck, crab fried rice and pad Thai for the rest of us to share. We also had the appetizer sampler because, golden fritters, hellooooooo! Veggie dumplings and lemongrass Tom yum soup rounded out the meal. The portions are big enough to share and the flavors are so good. The prices have definitely increased from when we first started eating here but the quality of the food is worth it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Thai place in the upper east side makes me worried that things are bougified and westernized and there's definitely evidence on the menu of this. Fortunately the food is still good. More like 3.5 DRUNKEN NOODLE Nice wavy and chewy noodles, a little on the wet side, tender chicken. Not spicy in and of itself so you'll have to maybe ask if that's what you're looking for. Good texture to the noodles though CHICKEN SATAY The peanut sauce was very thick almost like a paste and one of the skewers was over cooked but the rest were enjoyable still. THAI ICED TEA What you expect from a thai iced tea - sweet, creamy, yummy. read more

The food is blind no spice and personality it's sad because the ingredients are fresh but the salmon over cook and the mushrooms was row and my dishes was ok but the mussels was cold if the restaurant was making and effort to have a real chef who love to cook it's wool be much better and maybe this place will have more costumers and more ambiance read more

I like this restaurant. I prefer visiting in person but often opt out for delivery due to "work at your desk" culture unfortunately.. sad face. I tried pretty much everything on the menu and usually left with yummy in my tummy feeling. However if they can reduce the amount of potatoes in curry puffs and add a little more veggie it'd be fantastic. Shout out to workers as they are always so kind :) have a great day! read more

Solid fare at a nice price point. Iced Thai coffee was refreshing and balanced the heat from the Drunk man noodles. The appetizer lettuce wraps with chicken was also tasty. Great lunch special with lots of options. Attentive service and the kitchen was quick to send both courses out. read more

Great experience ordering take out lunch here. Food was prepped on time and the order was accurate. I had the chicken pad Thai with the shrimp fritter appetizer. The pad thai was a bit sweeter than I expected and would have been a bit better if I could adjust the spice level. The shrimp fritter was more like a fried chicken shu mai, I'm not sure if there was any shrimp in it, but it was pretty good with the sweet dipping sauce. A nice place to stop by for lunch! read more

My office ordered from Spice Thai today. The curry puffs were horrible. Only diced potatoes in it and some other stuff coud not figure out what is was, but it is a disgrace to call them curry puffs. 2nd dish was the pineapple fried rice which was edible. The only issue is there was undercooked chicken and shrimp. Make sure your food is cooked right, so people do not get sick. Never would I eat here again. read more

Quiet corner restaurant with plenty of seating! I came here for a quick Thai fix and left satisfied. The place has a modern look to it and the service is efficient. It's a bit on the expensive side, but understand me considering the location and ambiance. We ordered pad Thai spring rolls to start which tasted oddly sour and the vermicelli was undercooked on the inside. For our entrees, we ordered the drunken noodles with less spice which they easily accommodated. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and not over cooked. Their pad Thai has a twist on it -- it was more saucy than other pad Thai dishes and had a red hue to it which was unique. The panang curry had just the right of spice to it. I wish the dish came with a bit more chicken in it. The food is pretty standard here for a Thai place. read more

Nice quiet restaurant just a short walk from the gym. Servers are very friendly and food arrived very quickly. I ordered the Zucchini Pad Thai because it comes with shrimp and chicken and vegetables in the form of zucchini. They were generous with both the shrimp and chicken, both of which were juicy and tasty. A nice well balanced meal that hit the spot after my workout. Would come back again! read more

Spice Thai - Zucchini Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

The lunch special is great. Spice does not skimp on the portion-sizes or the appetizers. Unfortunately, the flavors were underwhelming. The Drunk Man Noodles must have completed a 12-step program or something because they were parched. The dish--and especially the beef--was so dry and flavorless. A fun fact about Drunk Man Noodles (also known as Pad Khee Mao) is that the name comes from the idea that the dish is so spicy, it should be enjoyed with a tall glass of beer or three. But these noodles were about as spicy as the Cheerios I had for breakfast. Still, given the excellent price and portion-size, I'd be willing to try again. But I'll probably avoid the beef and make sure to ask for extra spice (and just flavor, in general) the next time. read more

Good variety with several dumplings, 4 curries and specials. Food is good, service - not so much. Get to go, or delivery.

I have gone to this place for a long time, but it has run it's course. The food has become dry and mediocre. I ordered food last week. Not only did they get my order wrong, but the food was disgusting- totally inedible. I think they might have added food that was not finished from people's plates in the restaurant. I felt a bit sick the next day- I have pictures of the food for backup too! Go to Up Thai on 2nd avenue&74th- their food is delicious. read more

I was craving for some good Thai in the neighborhood & ordered from here after reading the reviews. The vegetable dish was too salty & soggy with a hint of MSG & the fried rice was too oily & bland. What a huge disappointment. I ate just one third of the food & dumped the rest. I won't order anything from here again for sure, read more

Excellent food. Great service. Small but comfortable restaurant. Can be quite spicy so you may want to ask to tone it down a bit.

I order-glass noodles, Jade seafood dumpling, shrimp shumai and the house soup. The food arrived without chopsticks (so annoyed by this). The noodle and the soup was good but I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if I had chopsticks. The dumplings were just ok and I don't think I would order them again. Over all the food is worth another try. read more

Chicken satay was great- good peanut sauce When I saw the chor muang under the royalty bites, I thought of the purple flower dumplings I had from Nuaa (now closed I believe, but the dumplings were heavenly and haven't had anything like that ever since)... so I was super excited but it didn't live up to its picture. The filling didn't have much flavor, couldn't really taste the chicken or any flavor besides peanuts. The outer layer was a bit too much as well. Quite a disappointment The Thai iced tea was way too sweet, and I know Thai iced tea is usually pretty sweet but I've had my fair share of these and unfortunately, had to throw out after a few sips. Overall, probably wouldn't come back especially since there are more Thai places in the UES to try. read more

We live in the neighborhood and decided to have some lunch here. The food was surprisingly good. The lunches came with an appetizer. We ordered the green curry, sausage fried rice and Pad thai. We also ordered the calamari and chicken saté as extra appetizers. The curry was very good, slightly spicy and creamy. My husband raved about the fried rice and the Pad Thai was one of the most flavorful ones we've had in awhile. The service was attentive and the food was very inexpensive. $65 for the 3 of us. This restaurant goes on our list for neighborhood favorites and we'll be ordering and coming here often. read more

Great lunch special - appetizer and main for less than $15. They also make a great Thai iced tea. I love the green curry fried rice, broad black noodle, and grilled aged pork chops.

Really great Thai at even better prices. Went with a friend for dinner to catch up. We got a few appetizers- my favorite of the night was the Chor Muang which was purple dumplings with ground chicken, onion, peanut with a spicy sauce. I got a Panang curry which was rich with coconut milk. My friend got the spicy mince pork dish, and she loved it. We both got cocktails, my ginger mango-Rita was sweet and strong. All in all a great spot, beautiful presentation of the dishes, and a lovely atmosphere. read more

I like this place. Excellent (and well priced) lunch entrees. Interior of the restaurant is awesome - it's very calm and it feels like you're not in NYC. Service is excellent.

I recently came back to this place and went in person and then ordered in one night the food is excellent they give you a lot for your money and quality is good.

I love the food here. I usually get takeout but have eaten there in person a few times too. The place itself has a chill vibe with good quality amenities. I've ordered the panang curry, spring rolls, and papaya salad, but my absolute favorite is the kao pao kai sub (ground chicken with a bunch of delicious spices on a pile of rice and topped with a fried egg). There's a lot of Thai places out there, but this place is arguably one of the best! read more
