Nora Thai ended up being a great fit for the occasion. The decor was beautiful, with so many statement pieces and cute photo-op moments throughout the restaurant, which was perfect for a birthday. I celebrated with a group of eight, and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful, fresh, and the portions were really good. From the sampler to the snapper, crab fried rice, chicken and peppers, and Pad Thai noodles--everyone at the table enjoyed their food. We ordered a variety of dishes and were able to share everything family-style, which made it even better because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. There really wasn't anything we didn't like. The service was a little slow, and the drinks weren't my favorite, but the staff was attentive, friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the menu. They were able to answer our questions and help with recommendations, which I appreciated. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight for me. Great portions, lots of flavor, and just delicious all around. Between the beautiful decor, photo opportunities, atmosphere, and food, Nora Thai gave me exactly the birthday vibe I wanted. It was perfect because we didn't have to be overly dressed up after a relaxing spa day, but could still dress cute and stylish and fit right in. I would absolutely return!

Starting with the water, it was fairly gross (image included) to the point where I didn't want to drink it. The summer role I subbed with tofu and it was extremely dry. Would have been good to include something juicy to balance the noodles and tofu. The Hoison sauce also didn't pair well with the tofu. Got pad Thai and it was very mid. The tofu was soft to the point where I ended up picking it all out. My partner had pad se ew and it was similar to the point he didn't eat any of it at all and threw it out. The best part where it does get 2 stars is because of the mango sticky rice. It was phenomenal. Probably the best I've had so far in the city where the mango is perfectly sweet and the rice is moist.

We were seated immediately, the staff…read morewas quick, helpful, and efficient, and the food came out fast--but still tasted like it was made with real care. We started with the popcorn shrimp, and the sauce that comes with it is unreal--I literally asked for a second cup because I couldn't get enough. My fiancée ordered the Tom Kha, and she said it was the best she's ever had (and that's her go-to order at Thai restaurants). Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced. We also got a couple different curries and the drunken noodles, and all of it was top tier. The curries had that expansive, layered flavor that keeps unfolding as you eat, and the drunken noodles had a great grilled/wok-char flavor while still being saucy and not dried out. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, but it's not trying to win awards for décor--and that's fine because the food is the entire point here. If you want a "food-first" spot with incredible flavor, Sage is the move.

Can't go wrong for a 14 dollar filling lunch meal when in the area. And the Thai coffee had a great balance and pick me up to continue with my day. Will certainly come back!

Was visiting friends in NYC and they suggested we should check this place out…read more Upon entering Sura, there's a boutique grocery store with an assortment of "snacks on the go" type foods, candy, sodas, coffee, and sparkling water. My favorites were the Fanta watermelon and Fanta melon soda. After we explored what the grocery store had to offer, we went to check out the speakeasy. The atmosphere was very chill and service was great and friendly. At first, we were going to order individually, but after looking at the menu, we ended up ordering quite a bit so we could all try the food. Although we all had our favorites, everything we tried was amazing. The creativity that went into each dish and drink let's you know this isn't an average fusion spot! The Oiji cucumber salad had so much flavor. The way they prepped the crunchy garlic along with the furikake, it almost had a slight bacon flavor with a hint of spice. The Crispy Ginkgo Stuffed Olives tasted great but dipping them in the kimchi marinara took it to another level. Both dishes great for appetizers We then go to try the Miso Cod Tacos. The miso Cod was cooked perfectly. The pickled Fresno went well with the fish taco and with the hint of wasabi, there was so much flavor. The Braised Pork Belly Bao was my 2nd favorite dish. The pork belly was so tender and just so much flavor in each bite! My favorite dish was the "Soo Jae Bi" Spicy Boscaiola...wow. The go chu jang ragu sauce was out of this world. The perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and creamy. I highly, highly recommend trying this dish! During our meal, I tried the Bushwick Seoul mezcal drink as well as the Sesame Conspiracy. Definitely worth getting if you're into mezcal or bourbon. There's really nothing I can say negatively about this place. I can't wait to visit again so I can head over to BK to eat at Sura again. I love that the fusion of Korean into these dishes didn't overpower and take over the original flavors but complimented them so well and again, in such a creative way.

They even sell pantry staples on the shelves in the front area of the restaurant. I was with a group of four to stop in for some small bites. I'd say everything had solid flavor, but in particular the yang nyum wings and soft korean omelet were my favorite bites. The sweet corned cheese, disco potatoes, and cucumber salad oiji were also tasty enough for us to finish off. I found the portions somewhat precious for our group, who wanted to chow down with heftier bites, but I think that's just the nature of dining out these days. We weren't in the mood to drink but this sort of food would pair very well with booze. Our servers were sweet and eager to hear feedback about what we liked most. I'd be excited to see if they add some specials to the menu.

We ordered a tom yum soup, pad thai, and some rice, which came out very quickly. It was a decent amount of food for about $30. I liked that the tom yum soup came with veggies in it, and it had a good sour flavor. The pad thai was also pretty good. It came with a decent amount of shrimp. The food itself wasn't super memorable, but great for the price and convenience.

Too bad the entrance got 2 steps that I have to get my stroller though. It was tough but I made it after some difficulty maneuvering the stroller inside. So it is not that handicapped or stroller convenient. Other than that the ambience is very intimate especially all the way in the back and deep into the restaurant you have a nice lit background of trees. I wanted to sit over there but since I had the stroller and a toddler, the waitress made me sit by the entrance where it was empty. It was just the 2 of us. The waitress offered me a baby high chair but I denied it. I kind of regret it because my baby started running back and forth on the long bench the tables were piled up against. Luckily there was no one in that section except us. The staff were also friendly and kind and did not complain so I was happy. I got a chicken pineapple fried rice and a chicken pad Thai to share with my daughter. We had to wait a couple of minutes for the food to arrive. When they did arrive, I was shocked at the portions. The portions were huge enough to share with 2 people. The staff were kind to offered to small plates to put our food on. Initially they did not give us small plates but they did after the portions were big. The pad Thai was silky smooth and tastes really good! I liked the texture of the noodle. The kitchen cooked it really well. It did not come out soggy as other places. The pineapple fried rice was very good too although it had a lot of ingredients in it and not so much rice. It got raisins, which I didn't really like. But I was okay with the raisins since the rice had scallions, onions, tomatoes, and chicken to go mix and go with so the raisins did not really stand out in my tongue. It was just a lot of ingredients all at once seasoned so well in my mouth. My daughter kept wanting more rice and she loved it a lot! They also gave my daughter a sippy plastic cup with a tight lid in case she spills it. I got a glass cup of water. Overall, the atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and chill. Very good for couples, friends, and families who want to enjoy the lighting and good Thai food.

I really hate writing one star reviews, let a lone yelp reviews in general because I have a belief…read morethat a restaurant's credibility by yelp critics are mostly unjust, especially when it comes from critics who don't even cook as a hobby or a passion, which I do as a hobby. I hate to do this, but because this is by far one of the worst service I got in my life as a foodie and a native NYC. I honestly do not know how this place got a 5 star review, let alone even 13 reviews. The service was so poor tonight that you can tell no one knew what to do. At worst there was this one waiter who worked there who was rude as hell when my party arrived and denied us the seating that was mentioned before. That really pissed me off alot, and have never ever experienced something like that Then the waiter for our table didn't even know the menu. It looked like their whole staff wasn't even there that night and the owners were the one's running it and it was terrible. To be fair, I was told that the hostess tonight that usually works was not that, and some of the staff did try to make up for it, but to me it was a little too late. Shout out to the bartender though, she was really nice and understands hospitality. The food tbh was equivalent to the buffet style sushi rolls, full of rice and not a good ratio between the fish, rice and seaweed. It was overpriced and much better at other locations. I definitely would not recommend spending your money there. I really had hope that this place would be a good sushi spot, given the decor, it looked promising with it's 5 star yelp reviews. Leads me to believe it's fake The lack of customers on a Friday night and lack of respectable service spoke for itself. This place either needs to get it's act together or just sell the damn spot to someone who actually cares about being a good restaurant. Again, I really don't write bad reviews ever, but this really pissed me off tonight and is my first 1 star review. DO NOT GO TO THIS SPOT! WASTE OF MONEY! AVOID AT ALL COST!
