Visited for my first time on a busy Saturday night for dinner and drinks! The location of this place is incredible if you have plans at Lincoln center. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful offering three different dining areas: the front section with the bar, the back main part of the restaurant, or traveling through a fun mirrored hallway to a section that feels like a restaurant next door. For food we ordered the ribs and Wagyu fried rice. Absolutely loved the fried rice, but I personally wasn't crazy about the flavor of the ribs. There's a lot to explore on the menu so I would definitely come back to try more! The bathroom situation is honestly a bit of a mess. The bathrooms themselves are beautiful, but there's nowhere to wait without feeling completely in the way of people working there. You're standing right next to that mirrored tunnel which is where the food comes out and also where the servers are entering food orders. It's just a bit chaotic in that area.
We went here for my man's birthday! He said that it was the best branzino that he has had in the city! I enjoyed the food tremendously especially the wagyu fried rice! The drinks were good but they weren't very strong ! That was the only thing I didn't like. Very clean, and the service was g Amazing!
This is a delicious, upscale Thai restaurant near Lincoln Center - Columbus Circle area. While the concept started as Thai-style BBQ (Unglo refers to the grill or stove used for Thai BBQ), plans changed for the restaurant which is now focusing on a la carte dishes. As someone who doesn't typically go out for BBQ, this is a win. I dined with a friend, and we had to ask for recommendations because everything on the menu looked great. The staff pointed out the wagyu khao soi (which is similar to Soothr's khao soi if you've had. It's creamy and blended so well, while the wagyu meat is thin and very delicate) and one of the fish options - two of their big fish dishes are grilled and fried. We went with the fried one as it came with a sweet and sour sauce. We were very satisfied with our choice. While the fish was flavored with the sauce, the fish still kept a crispy texture. The apps didn't quite do it for me. We ordered the wagyu tartare (which were served in the shape of a taco) and the yum sen lek (the fish sauce was overpowering and too much - if you're a fan fish sauce this is def for you!) I would try other apps next time, but also maybe it's because we've compared to the second course of entrees that were divine.
Unglo Thai BBQ, which opened on the Upper West Side this past December, was a great find while I was in the area. I stopped in for lunch and quickly knew it would be added to my go-to spots for Thai food. The space has a warm, inviting feel, with soft lighting and bronze-toned accents that give it a nice glow as soon as you walk in. The staff were attentive, and the overall service was excellent. Pad Thai - 5/5 Packed with flavor and really reminded us of the authentic versions we had in Thailand. Chicken Green Curry - 5/5 Absolutely delicious. We're more accustomed to a thinner curry, but this one was richer and thicker, loaded with bold green curry flavor. Definitely a must-order. Overall, I really enjoyed this place--it's a fantastic addition to the UWS scene.
UPDATE About 6 months ago they stopped doing BBQ, but they still have beef dishes on the menu. They no longer have that delicious corn salad. Now, you can sit anywhere. The restaurant is still very charming and dimly lit. The bar can make classic cocktails. Their Manhattan was well-made. Their dishes are well composed and full of flavor. Our server was friendly and knew the menu well, plus they had busers.
This is a real special place if you love inventive Thai food. Came here for a dinner on the weekend and glad we got a reservation as this place was poppin. Very cool and chic interior with a fun menu to pour over. The drink menu is also quite something to pair with their delicious dishes. Love all of the tasty things I ate specifically the Crispy Pork Belly. If you love pork / pork belly, this is the dish for you. Deliciously marinated with a lovely sweet chili sauce. The Rib Satay was so sumptuous. Big chunks of beef with that incredible peanut sauce. Not pictured was the Beef See-Iew or the Crab Karee Fried Rice, which I shared with my wife, and WOW. We were so starved for really special Thai food and Unglo really hit it out of the park! Highly recommend the Lychee Clouds! Would come back any day of the week!
Walked in thinking this place was more about food, but the cocktail menu actually caught my eye first -- lots of interesting combinations I wanted to try (saving that for next time). We ordered a few dishes to share and overall had a great experience. The grilled branzino was a standout -- big portion, nicely cooked, and the sauce had a real kick. Tom yum seafood was different from most places, richer and less acidic. The yellow curry was comforting and very rice-friendly. For four people, we spent about $40 per person and still had leftovers, which is rare in this area. Solid spot with good value and daily happy hour.
Fabulous Funkytown music playlist. I knew all the words. Relaxing and happy. Spacious. Gorgeous copper lighting. Felt like being inside a magic temple / alternate universe Wonderful staff. Friendly. Energetic. Waiter was a snowboarder. Great calamari and Pad Thai and Green Curry. Next time I'll try the barbecue. Big booth tables with copper barbecue pit in the table. Great for conversation. Jasmine tea surprised us at $9 for a bottomless cup. Good tea bag. Clean ground floor bathrooms. Chic. NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. I HOPE THEY GET A RAMP. PLEASE MAKE THE TEA FIVE DOLLARS, NOT NINE, THANK YOU There's a back room for private parties.
The Khao Soi Chicken is so good. The sauce is spicy and creamy and the egg noodles are cooked perfectly. Excited to try their other items next time. The cocktails look really good too
Unglo is the latest creation from the team that runs Soothr, and is very delicious! However you are definitely paying for spacious seating, for the service of having your meat bbq'd for you, and it is slightly over priced. But overall decent, and nice for a special occasion. It was a little loud but that's fine. The lighting is a little orange as a heads up
Very cool vibe hanging out with friends here. BBQ meat is fresh, Waygu fried rice is very tasty! I like the Thai sauce for BBQ! With 5 stars service here, $75 per person 5 stars recommend for all of you.
I usually don't have too many bad things to say about a restaurant, but there was a couple things that I had issues with. Regarding their menu, I did not have any issue with their traditional Thai dishes. There is a scent in the restaurant that I'm not sure what it was exactly, but the smell didn't sit right with me. Their water also tasted really strange. NYC tap water taste perfectly find with me but for some reason even asking for a new glass, something was strange about their water. We went for restaurant week and we ordered for apps: prime rib finger satay, northern Thai beef tartare, for entrees: grilled porterhouse, Khao son wagyu, and for dessert: golden pung-cha and mor gang Fok Thong. We got 2 orders of the restaurant week which cost $60 each. We also ordered a Thai ice tea that cost $15, which feels very absurd and overpriced. The appetizers were both good and we had no issues with it. The grilled porterhouse did not look like the way they marketed on their instagram. The cut looked different, it was much thinner and was also not cooked to medium rare. It also got cold faster than you'd expect making the last couple bites not as good. Their Khao Soi Wagyu was also not as expected. On their instagram the noodles looks fried and crispy on the side of the dish, but when we got it, the noodles were under all the sauce, so it loss that crunchy texture I was hoping for. The curry sauce with it was good but neither of the main dishes came out as they were marketed on their instagram. I included the photos of what we expected the dish to look like. The dessert was strange too, I'm not sure if it was intentional but the golden pung-cha had some alcohol taste to it. And the Mor Gang Fak Thong tasted stale and store bought. Overall I really would not reccomend coming here. There are much better Thai restaurants in the city for a much fairer price.
The moment I walked in I already knew this was gonna be bad. This restaurant is across from Lincoln Center and caters to the pre-theater dining crowd. However, they were seating tables way late, taking forever to come out with food, and generally just super not on it with staying on schedule for all the diners who had to leave. We were seated maybe half an hour after our reservation time, were immediately ready to order, and did not receive our food until over an hour after our reservation time. We had to gobble it up super quickly. The table next to us also had 45 minutes between appetizers and mains. The ambience is also super chaotic and loud. The food was nothing special either. My pad see ew was too sweet and the flavor of the beef was off.
We went here for a double date night with friends and I'm so glad I found this spot on Resy. The vibes are sexy, perfect for date night and you'll definitely need a reservation because it was packed on a weekend. We got seated and served really quickly which was a nice surprise given how busy it was. We went family-style and started with the mee krob and rib satay. The mee krob had this super unique crunchy noodle texture with a tangy sauce. It was really interesting, I'd give it an 8/10. The rib satay was a standout though, such a unique take and the sauce was honestly addictive. Solid 8.5/10. For mains, we shared the prawn pad Thai (7/10 -- good, but not the star). The real highlight and the reason I'd come back alone is the Khao Soi Wagyu. The broth had so much depth and the meat was insanely tender... I'm literally tempted to order takeout as I'm writing this. Definitely coming back. This place really impressed me and I'm excited to try more of the menu next time. read more

Finally visited this place and loved it! I'm so glad they are now serving Thai dishes along with the grilled meats. I wanted to try everything on the menu. For a table of 5 adults we ordered the grilled branzino, wagyu rib fingers, wagyu fried rice, chicken khao soi, tea leaf salad, the green and NY strip. We were stuffed. I will definitely be back for more. read more
The team behind Soothr is bringing Manhattan's first Thai BBQ & hotpot just steps from Lincoln Square! The interior is giving disco with the lights and mirrors. We got the premium set for $260 and the Moo Krata set. Like Korean BBQ, you can cook at your own pace. But with hotpot around the grill! Dishes we tried: A5 Wagyu (9/10) American Wagyu flank (7/10) Dry aged NY strip (7/10) Scallop crudo (10/10) Wagyu fried rice (9.5/10) Assorted veggies (9/10) The presentation is second to none and the quality of meat is superb. There's a nice balance of flavors. The scallop crudo was the real standout with the chili lime dressing. The wagyu fried rice was seasoned well and the cured egg yolk is excellent. Staff is very attentive with grilling and the hotpot throughout the meal. Follow my Instagram and TikTok @thephotographerfoodie for more! :) read more
Walked here after the opera at the Met and was immediately wowed by the beautiful design of the space and the amazingly warm welcome. We've done plenty of Korean BBQs so this was our first Thai BBQ and loved it. We shared the Premium and added an additional Wagyu fried rice and marinated pork loins. There are a few differences with Korean bbq one being the "soup" that is created in the sphere surrounding the bbq area. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. read more

When I first walked in, I was immediately impressed with the beautiful, clean, and spacious interior. This was my first time trying thai bbq and I think I'm in love. Hotpot and bbq are my two favorite foods so having both at the same time was a dream. The hotpot broth didn't have much flavor but was somehow addicting. I ended up drinking several bowls. The meat was tender and well marinated. Although the food was good, there was nothing memorable about it. The price was also quite high and the only reason I wouldn't visit frequently. $29 for a vegetable platter is outrageous. read more
Never had Thai bbq before. The place was very nicely decorated. Lots of neon lights. Service was excellent. The food was tasty too, but I probably like Korean bbq better. Everything is a bit bland. It's a bit expensive though. read more

Tried Thai-style BBQ at Unglo in NYC and it was such a great experience The quality of the meats really stands out -- beautifully marbled beef, fresh seafood, and bold, flavorful marinades. Cooking everything table-side made it fun and interactive, and the overall vibe felt elevated but still relaxed. Huge shoutout to our server Paradee for the amazing service and attention throughout the night. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

This is our second time here. It's been a while. Initially we were disappointed that the menu had changed. We remember and went back for the boiling of the meats and vegetables. But then we were pleasantly surprised at the new menu which filled our mouths with a party. Great change to the menu which is now a grilled-based BBQ style menu. read more

New upscale Thai BBQ restaurant in Manhattan that blends the communal style of moo krata (a Thai BBQ hot pot) with a modern, refined setting. It is a collaboration between the teams behind Chalong and Soothr restaurants and is located near Columbus Circle. We ordered the classic combo with an add-on of shrimp. Their cocktail menu is super fun too, all the drinks are named after meat cuts. The classic combo was plenty for two; we couldn't even finish the pork dish, though it was absolutely delicious. I loved how they added an egg to the meat, it gave the dish an extra layer of texture. What really stood out to me was the hotpot surrounding the BBQ grill! Having a light, clean flavored veggie soup alongside the meats was such a nice touch. The spicy dipping sauce tied everything together perfectly! Plus, the staff cooks everything for you, so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal and conversation. read more

I really wanted to love Unglo...we're fans of Cha Long and Soothr, both of which inspired and share management with this spot--but it fell flat, especially at these price points. The space is beautifully designed: warm lighting, stylish details, and grills built into the tables that are both unique and elegant. But the execution stopped there. Cocktails? If it's not on their list, forget it. They'll mix "fancy" drinks, but couldn't deliver a basic Manhattan. Odd. Our server seemed under-trained. Shrimp was sold out, so we tried the black cod...mushy and unpleasant. His next suggestion, short ribs, arrived as the fattiest, gristliest cuts we've ever seen. Truly classless. The chicken? Flavorless without the garlic sauce they handed out like a rescue kit. The one highlight: the vegetables, which cooked nicely in the broth around the grill. But then came the kicker: wagyu fried rice. We asked for it three times, wanting to pair it with the proteins, but it didn't land until we were halfway through the meal. By then, the moment was gone. Bottom line: I was hoping this would be a neighborhood gem. Instead, it was a one-and-done. read more

The KBBQ was incredible - especially the wagyu. The hotpot had generous servings of vegetables to mix in - but the BBQ stole the show. The wings are top choice for appetizer! The combo we ordered came with a sweet little dessert. The only thing missing was banchan. Very sleek interior design and clean bathrooms. They have excellent customer service. Our waiter, TAE, made the experience wonderful for us. He walked us thru the menu and helped us arrange our meat and cook things thru. He checked in on us frequently. I would come back just because of him! read more
