Khao Soi Chicken
Theresa L.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wagyu Hamburg Steak

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.

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! :)

Fried Branzino

Great food and great service Relaxed, warm and inviting atmosphere Great for a business lunch, date night or good family dining option The music is upbeat and you don't have to yell over the to have a conversation with your fellow diner The menu options are fairly priced The menu is also great for all appetites.

Massaman Curry- We got this with beef which was cooked perfectly tender. The sauce is sweet with a hint of spice and made creamy with coconut milk. Potatoes and peanuts add bulk to the dish.

Not all midtown restaurants stay open past 10, and I was relieved to find their kitchen going strong at that hour, as well as their dining space, which was full. Turned out it was for good reason because their food was delicious. My friend and I were hoping to eat at a restaurant nearby specializing in crab, but they closed much earlier. Fortunately for us, SaiTong's menu had plenty of crab on it, and we decided to double up and make each of our entree's a crab one. The black spaghetti crab curry and crab curry noodles advertised themselves as being very different dishes in both presentation and ingredients but ended up tasting kind of similar. One was topped with deep fried crab and used a different type of noodle than the other, but the sauces were so similar. This is not to say that they didn't taste good, but I would've preferred more variance. I'm glad we got an order of papaya salad to cut the richness of the other dishes, and I also appreciated it had a nice level of heat in it. Our servers were really friendly without being overbearing, and let us linger for a bit even after we paid the bill, as it was their last seating for the evening. There are so many excellent Thai restaurants in the city and I'd put SaiTong firmly in the category of perfectly solid spots to get your Thai fix, with some special dishes on the chef's menu worth checking out.

Both of us were starving, and I had put in a birthday request at the restaurant, so we decided to stay. The ambiance is classy, and this would be a great spot for a business dinner or date night. I ordered a massaman curry with roti and chicken ($29), and my friend ordered the chuchi shrimp ($30) and curry puff ($16). Prices are a bit above average for the portion size, but justified by the area. We both enjoyed our dishes; the flavors were on point! Then, for my friend's birthday, they gave us mochi ice cream and a card signed by the staff! That was a nice touch that overrode the restaurant week debacle. Service was fantastic. There were multiple check backs and water refills. I would recommend Sabai Thai for a fancy night out, and I would return to try other dishes.

As a Thai person myself and as indicated on their menu, it's the way most Thais eat this dish :) The fried egg added that rich, runny element that really brings everything together. The veggies were nicely sautéed, fresh and still crisp, and there was a good amount of ground pork, so the dish felt hearty and satisfying rather than rice-heavy. Overall, the flavors were solid and comforting, though I personally found it just a touch sweeter than I prefer for pad kra pow. Even so, it definitely hit the spot and was very satisfying for a late-night craving. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant overall. One thing to keep in mind though is timing - if you're dining closer to closing, you may feel a bit rushed toward the end of your meal. All in all, a solid option for Thai food!
