Great little Thai place in Manhattan. Restaurant is dark and intimate with just a few tables. Very interesting wall art. Service was quick and friendly. Menu was extensive. They even have poh tak soup. I only know of 1 other restaurant that serves poh tak soup!! I didn't order this though as it would've been too large of a portion for just me. We ordered the papaya salad and pepper steak. Both came out within minutes of being ordered. Flavors were vibrant. I did ask for my salad to be 4 star spicy and it wasn't spicy at all Would recommend for a quick lunch. read more

Just go. Get the veg dumplings and kra-praw-Kai sub with minced chicken and vegetables in a spicy basil sauce. It comes medium which was the perfect heat level. The dumplings were outstanding, adorable purse like shape with crisp veggies and topped with fried garlic flakes. Still thinking about them. Beautiful dark glam decor and friendly service. Reasonable prices and good portions. read more

We came to Thai72 on Sunday evening for dinner. Found street parking right across the store, lucky!! We entered the restaurant within couple of minutes of opening, and I was surprised to see they were fully prepared. The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous, modern rustic look with brick walls all around. I started with the Seafood Tom Yum soup that was excellent. Had the spice and plenty of zest of the citrus. We got the roti canai as well that came with soft roti, but the chicken and the curry tasted average to me. For entree I ordered the Kao-obb Bkk, a unique rice dish with deep fried chicken, shrimp, scallops and sausage. I had mixed feeling about the dish. I liked the sauce, shrimp and scallop but the chicken seemed too chewy. The staff were super friendly. They stopped by the table every few minutes. The appetizers came out quickly but the entrees needed 10-15 minutes. Though some of the dishes were underwhelming, overall we had a decent dinner experience. read more

Great Thai food on 72nd. The restaurant is clean. Relaxing vibes. It's a little dark in there. The service is great. The staff are friendly and attentive. The flavors are great. Heavy on the herbs and good portion. Roti canai is warm and soft. Overall a solid place for Thai food. read more

We tried Thai72 for the first time this week and had a nice meal. They had a cozy atmosphere, with Christmas decor all around. My boyfriend ordered the one of the curries ($18+ for Tofu or Vegetables) and I had the Healthy Soup ($10+ for Small) + Roti Canal ($16+). The Roti Canal felt a bit pricey considering the size / amount, but I loved it and would order it again. The Healthy Soup was also exactly what I wanted, although it too, was a bit pricey for what it was. They could make the small one a bit smaller and less pricey. (The large is $15+) The service was fine and it was a decent meal overall. I'm happy to add Thai72 to my restaurant repertoire in UWS. read more

The drunken noodle dish at Thai72 was very flavorful and I loved the spice level. Sometimes I worry that I will get zero spice when I order mild. Thai72's mild was perfect and offered a nice kick. Price was great for the portion and location. There were a lot of people here for late dinner on a Friday, but the service was attentive and quick which I appreciated! The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the ambience-- something about it felt sterile and made it feel uncomfortable. Can't put my finger on it, just didn't care for it. In any case, I would go back for the food! My friend enjoyed her fried rice. This location is a staple for her. read more

I came here for a dinner on a Friday night with a group of friends. I strongly recommend making a reservation here in advance because they get pretty busy. There were seven of us and we all got different items on the menu. We also got several different appetizers. It seems like everybody was really happy with their food. They have very diverse flavors and the spice level is pretty manageable. They even have a full bar with delicious cocktails and mocktails. read more

It was a fair meal until I got the bill $9 for a tea. Yes I should have looked on the menu for the price but when lunch was $12 a person the last thing you expect is $9 for a tea. No way would have have guessed $9 for a tea, $3, $5 but $9???? Also their lunch special feels like an airline ticket. $12-14 for lunch special but if you want salad it's $3-6 more, appetizer $3-7 more. I think i would rather go to a lunch special down the street that gives appetizer, salad, and entree for $14-18. Feels like this isn't really a deal with all the add ons read more

Ambiance (5/5) - The inside has a lovely décor and it is not too loud inside. Service (4/5) - We were attended to throughout the service. We had no issues with timing of our ordering and dishes. A little difficult getting our checks to pay/leave. Thai Crepe (5/5) - The exterior reminds of a steamed rice roll. After some wresting to pick up (and if not punctured in the attempt), the inside has loose meat filling. It tastes delicious on its own with good flavor and mix of textures. Braised Pork (3/5) - The presentation was gorgeous. The meat however fell flat because it was almost too dry despite the lovely marinated flavors. The dish needed like double the sauce as the curry was only enough to complement a few bites. Drunken Noodles (4/5) - Can't go wrong with the drunken noodles. I think next time I'd go for a little more than medium. Was hoping for a little more in portion. I've ordered their take out before. The massaman curry while tastes good, could be a little thicker. read more

We came here lunch over the weekend and all enjoyed our meals. I got a lychee thai ice tea to start. This wasn't overly sweet. It was refreshing. I had their pad see ew with chicken. It was a generous portion and really good! We all enjoyed our meals. Our waitress wasn't the friendliest, but thats ok. Would come back if in the area again. read more

The pad Thai is amazing but not very many shrimp! Maybe 5 total. They need to add more shrimp! I would give it 5 stars if there were more shrimp. The crab Rangoon supposedly has king crab in it. It's tasty but I couldn't really taste the king crab. read more

Romantic, cute, warm, nice ambience, nice staff, good food. Nice drinks. Gender neutral bathrooms. Easy to remember where it is bc it's on 72nd street and Broadway avenue. Very small bowl of jasmine rice so we had to order an extra bowl which is $3. The food is good but just a bit salty. This is as of 8/11/2025. read more

Several year ago I visited Thai 72 shortly after it opened and the food and service were very good. Since then, it has gone downhill. I visited it again on January 3 and was disappointed. It was a time when they were changing shifts, and the employees just wanted to serve you and get out of there. I ordered a lychee martini (I've had better), five-star dumplings (good) and moo ping (bbq pork on a skewer) - awful. To her credit, the waitress noticed that I didn't eat much of the pork and took it off the check, but the experience left a lot to be desired. The atmosphere is a bit stark and resembles a diner rather than a nice dining experience. I don't plan to return, a resolve I had made before. read more

Ordered delivery from here: dare I say it's the best pad thai in the city! It wasn't soggy, it had great flavor, and it held up well even after a delivery! The dumpling appetizer was also exquisite and I hope to come in sometime and try it even fresher! Cheers! read more

Enjoyed a re-visit here last night after recalling the restaurant from a previous and satisfying visit in May, 2023. The service was attentive and considerate with my group of 4. Our timing was perfect to get in just ahead of the Saturday night rush, and the food arrived extremely promptly. My pad see ew was a pleasing option and maintained its flavor. The others in my group - also all from out of the city - were pleased with our choices and the overall atmosphere. I appreciated the reminder of this place and would certainly consider coming in again when the timing is right! read more

Very cute interior and fast and attentive service. I think I just made the bad choice of ordering the chicken noodle soup given it was a cold day. I shoulda known it wasn't gonna be good as I don't think it's a Thai dish at all. It is not super flavorful and super bland, I wish there were condiments to add. Their Thai tea was very good though and I will come back to try other food and update my review based on other options. read more

Great meal I'm stuffed. $39.19 for a filling meal. The crème brûlée was delicious for $9. The egg was delicious. The sugary top was a drug. Very tasty. The massamang curry was very tasty but also could've used more flavor too. The stripped chicken was perfectly cooked. Tasty. Loved the sticky rice (it comes with white rice fyi, I didn't know). Good. Nice mood lighting inside and service. They filled our water lots. read more

Such a lovely interior with a calm oasis atmosphere. There is dim lighting, bar towards the front, plenty of space inside, brick wall, and a cool wheel with pretty lights and lanterns in the back. I ordered the Kao-Obb BKK, or special Thai fried rice with deep fried shrimps, chicken, scallops & Thai sausages. This came in a clay pot, and looked quite impressive with all the meats. It was chicken heavy, with a decent amount of sausages, a few shrimp, and little bit of scallops. My favorite meats were the sausage and shrimp. They were wonderfully tender, succulent, and well seasoned. The rice was cooked just right, but was on the sweet side which I wasn't used to. Overall, a solid dish though. For dessert, I had to get the Mango Sticky Rice, however had I known it would cost $14, I might have restrained myself. That's almost the cost of some of the entrees! I did enjoy it and it was unique, as it was served with sticky purple coconut rice. The rice was the perfect sticky consistency, and the coconut taste shone through. The mango was fresh, soft, and there was sweet condensed milk drizzled on top, which elevated the flavors. Service was solid. We were well taken care of throughout our meal. Pricing is reasonable with most entrees costing between $15-20, but the Signature Dishes are a little higher. I would be open to returning and would like to try the Fried Calamari, Three Flavored Seabass or Duck Tamarind. read more

Beat Thai food I've had in NYC so far. I got two appetizers, the roti with the side of Massaman curry, and the fried spring rolls. The roti was gorgeously flakey and perfectly fried, and the Massaman tasted like someone's experienced grandma whipped it up. Just... amazing. Not as thick as some restaurants make it, which I actually liked, and the chicken was tender instead of the tough, pan fried chicken that gets served with curries like this too often. The spring rolls were piping hot, flakey, golden, and just so satisfying. I'll be back for the fried ice cream with raspberry sauce, cause that was calling my name! read more

I have frequented this place for over 15 years. Service has been gracious; food, delicious; ambience, pleasant; and prices, reasonable. The food remains good although all the prices have climbed significantly (as they have almost everywhere.) But I was irritated by the manner in which a gratuity policy was implemented. Others may not be irritated so I simply describe it here for your information: Recently I dined there with four others and, when the bill was presented, it included the gratuity. I asked to see the menu to know that that policy was written there - since it was neither prominent nor announced by the wait staff. The menu was grudgingly presented. I found a notice in grey type on the last page stating that parties of 5 or more will have a gratuity of 18% added to their bill. This is not an uncommon policy in NYC although it is usually prominently displayed and customarily noted to diners by staff. Further, the tip added was in fact 20%, $4 more than the 18% would justify. More annoying was that, on the credit card slip, were a series of check boxes so that one might increase the tip by another 20%, 22% or 25%. In the context, the diner may well not likely be aware that a "market" rate tip had already been added to the bill. The lack of transparency and the over-charge on the included gratuity seemed a bit shady. I did not appreciate it. read more

I knew when I was seated I should have gotten up and left! The hostess sat me up front near the door where a few tables are located. For some reason I was the only person upfront while LITERALLY every other table was sat in the back where's it's nicer and warmer. I ordered the spring rolls for an appetizer which were good. For my entree I had the pineapple fried rice which had no flavor. No salt, curry...nothing, just the taste of oil. Unfortunately not a single person asked how my food was so I took a few bites and took the rest to go. It's now in the fridge where it will likely sit until I throw it away! read more

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that sets the perfect mood for a cozy meal. I ordered the chicken pad Thai, and it was delicious. The noodles were perfect, and the balance of flavors was spot on with just the right mix of sweet, tangy, and savory. The customer service was good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was to my liking, that could have also been because it wasn't a busy time when I was there. read more

Thai72's chef has an exciting story, which was only one of the reasons we chose this restaurant during a recent NYC visit. Although it was a busy Friday night, we were able to reserve a table for two while walking toward the restaurant. The food is amazing and the appetizers came out quickly. My tofu pad Thai was steaming and the seafood plate my husband ordered was full of spice and flavor. The only issue would be how loud it is, which is common for small spaces containing a lot of simultaneous conversations. read more

Heard thai72 is the go to Thai spot on the upper west side. After ordering as takeout, it was subpar. The flavors were mild and not as savory as expected. Basil friend rice did not have much chicken, the overall portion sizes were small compared to other places. The massaman curry was mediocre as well. read more
