    Such a yummy spot conveniently located in East Village with exceptional service. I love all of the flavors and textures, but the accompanying sauces stand out to me the most! The cocktails are a sweet treat and are perfect brunch additions.

    Genuinely one of my favorite Thai restaurants! Their staff is so friendly. Service is quick and I'm never waiting around for food. The lunch special is one of my favorite parts - $13 for an app, salad, and entree! Great happy hour too, $5 for wine. I love the vibe here, and would recommend this neighborhood gem to anyone!

    This is a cute Thai spot, my friend and I came here for lunch. Appetizers: appetizers platter and crab Rangoon both was delicious. Entrees: curry duck and salmon drunken noodle is amazing, the best I ever had. Trust me and get this dish. Of course we had to get the mango dessert. Service and staff was great and friendly, can't wait to come back

    The food was delicious, the space was small but cozy with beautiful frames on the walls and decorative plates, the service was prompt and the waitstaff shared suggested meals, which I always appreciate! Try the Mango Sticky Rice Cocktail and the Bangkok Wings!

    Hanging with a friend, we impulsively decided to stop in to get some lunch before heading back home. Love the decor! The walls were covered with baskets, art and random kitchen utensils and pots. So fun! The waitress/hostess greeted us immediately and led us to our seats. Given that we were the first customers of the day (they had just opened), we pretty much had the pick of the tables. Settling in our seats, she handed us the menus and glasses of water. I LOVED their Bangkok chicken wings. Both crunchy and tender, it was a great start to the meal, followed quickly with the spring roll and the dumplings. The sauces were great and complimented the appetizers well, with a lovely, balanced flavor. My friend ordered the Pad Thai noodles, which she reported as being delicious, and I went with the waitress' suggestion of the Sautéed Healthy Ginger meal, which came with rice in a heart shape. Everything was so good, and the flavors were rich and deep. We happily munched our way through our meal, and the waitress kept stopping by to top off my water anytime it fell to half-full. She was so attentive and kind, and we made sure to express our appreciation in our tip. If you are in the area, I highly suggest eating in rather than take out, as it is a charming environment with really good food.

    One of my favorite go-tos! I feel like its reasonably priced and the pad thai is great! The service is very VERY quick. Limited seating, but I make a point to not go during a rush :)

    Papaya salad
    Shaji K.

    No reservation necessary on a Saturday afternoon for a group of four people. Bright interior and plenty of space between tables. Wanted to share, so opted for the Papaya Salad ($9ish) and the Crispy Duck over Rice ($17). Salad is thankfully a small portion, stacked with beans, carrots, roasted nuts, tomato, and papaya. Refreshing flavor and a good light meal. Duck is well portioned, crispy skin on the outside and juicy in the middle. Not much seasoning in the meat, so it needs a lot of help with side sauces. Probably would have been better as the curry entree. Service is okay as there was only one lady working the place. Hit or miss depending on what you get.

    You can dine in or take out. We ordered the food to go. The servers were friendly. We ordered Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. Food was good.

    This restaurant is one of my favorite in the East Village, is a cute and cozy spot to enjoy Thai food. Service and atmosphere are great and the food is delicious.

    Almira S.

    Omg ! This was the best Thai food I've had in manhttan . Simply amazing experience . Came in after a long Dr appt and was ready for delicious food and Thai tea. Thai Terminal didn't disappoint. From the moment i walked in the ambiance was very calm and welcoming . I knew what i wanted so i order Penang curry and some Thai iced tea. Both came very quick and tasted even better . The service was so great. I can't wait till the next time I'm in the city and can visit . I'll be back very soon ! Thanks again for the amazing experience and food .

    I see this restaurants marks themselves as having gluten-free on seamless, but I don't see any information provided. I'm sensitive to even low amounts of gluten so wanted to know more about this. Does anyone have experience with this?

    More like a 4.5 but it was really good. You do feel a little rushed as they are quite busy, they…read moreturnover quite fast, and they do limit you to 90 mins. The food came out insanely fast, as in too fast, imo. When you go out to eat, you appreciate the breaks between being seated, ordering, waiting for the meal, and the check. It really felt like everything was rushed. That being said, the food was excellent with the Short Rib Prik Kang standing over the rest. Biriyani was just ok but the broth they gave with it was a nice complement. Mango avocado salad was decent. The rest of the table said the pork belly was also quite good. Didn't try the drinks, but they looked great and from overhearing the adjacent tables, they were actually quite good. I would def recommend giving this place a try. TBH, because they are so fast, it's a great place to dine before a show.

    Came here to eat before watching Broadway. We booked 5:00pm. When we arrived ~4:50pm there was…read morealready a line out the door waiting for them to open. I'm surprised people queued and surprised they actually lock people out. They have a policy of only seating whole parties. My friends were literally stuck amongst the world cup crowds in Times Square such that they struggled to get through and had to detour when they did. They have a 10 minute grace period, but my friends wouldn't make it in time, so I asked if they'll let us sit first as long as we start ordering immediately. They said ok as long as we returned the table by 6:30pm. I thought the 1.5 hour seating time was based on when we actually get seated which considers the grace period. Anyways the timing ended up being sufficient. I think this spot is good for pre-theatre dining due to the large storefront and quick service, but I wouldn't necessarily choose to come here for the sake of coming. Their menu is extensive and slightly confusing given the way they organize by regions in Thailand. I'm uncultured so I won't know what's the difference between each region. It's easier for me to comprehend if the menu was categorized by the ingredients used or size of the dish. Most dishes do not have a photo/drawing included so it was hard to skim through all the options. Their online ordering was way more helpful since it had photos. It was so hard to look for the corresponding line item in the printed version. We ordered: green curry, kao soy kua neur, khao mok neua, curry puff, kaeng hung lay, gai gor lae, and mango sticky rice. Most of the stuff tasted alright without much standout. We requested mild/little spicy for everything and it was true to request. The spiciest dish was probably the green curry, but I think it's tolerable if you eat it with rice. Crowd favorite was the kao soy kua neur which is braised beef with egg noodles. I like how tender the beef is and how chewy the noodles were. My friends didn't like the khao mok neua biryani because of its dryness, but I think it's meant to be like that. I appreciate the spices in it, not too strong but still sufficient. I don't like how they don't have a printed menu for desserts and relied on the servers to recite out what's available. We couldn't hear everything properly and resorted to referencing the online ordering menu for the dessert options. Glad they're the same. Mango sticky rice was the highlight of the night for me. The mango size could be slightly bigger, because right now it's much smaller than the rice. However, I enjoyed the rice a lot. It was hot, fragrant, and not too soft. It definitely felt comforting. The coconut milk on the side had rice puffs (?) in it which gave additional texture.

    I'm a Thai foodie from California and I really loved SaiTong! The restaurant was busy and I was by…read moremyself so I was happy to sit at the bar, and was attended to by the most sweet bartender ever. Very polite, professional and attentive. I first ordered the crispy spring rolls, which were very good. For my main I had the Massaman Curry. Now folks, this is my favorite curry of all time -- actually one of my favorite foods of all time -- and while it's common in LA where I used to live, it's not as common where I live now, in the Bay Area. And the restaurants that do carry it usually do not make it right and it's not very good. I am used to Massaman in the traditional preparation where it's more like a beef stew made with chunks of beef and needs to cook overnight. When done right it is the most aromatic curry ever -- it's almost like an aphrodisiac! -- and the beef comes out oh so tender. Usually if places have this curry but then offer a choice of protein, then it generally is not cooked properly, and that is actually how they prepare it at SaiTong. But because of such great reviews I decided to take a chance and try it. Well, let me tell you, it was definitely not the norm...it was absolutely delicious! I had it with chicken (they serve breast as default), and the chicken soaked up the curry really nicely. I also asked for there to be no onions, which I think alters the flavor of a curry too much. It does include the traditional potatoes and peanuts, and the potatoes were fine and cut into nice little chunks, the peanuts actually were thrown in raw.. what I think is the more traditional way which is to actually burn the peanuts a little bit, but that's okay, it didn't take down the dish any. Their brown rice is of the very dark kind, which I like, and goes so well with the curry. Service was wonderful from the bartender but was also provided by the rest of the staff and everyone was so nice. I left there feeling so satisfied, and cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes.
