    PAD KEE MAO
    Ayana A.

    Stopped by Viv on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The place has lots of seating with a bar area in the front and more seating in the back. They have a really great happy hour that lasts from 12-7pm with so many flavors for the drinks. I liked my lychee margarita. It wasn't too strong. The servers are really kind and get you your food quickly. The portion sizes aren't too large, but they are the perfect size for 1 person. For appetizers, I tried the steamed Kanom Jeep which was flavorful. I also tried the fried rice and the pad kee mao. If you are not a spice fan, do the medium spice. I like spicy so I ordered one up from that and it was spicy which I liked.

    Saturday night dinner at ViV was a great choice! 1st I ordered a cocktail ON CLOUD 9 (Ketel One Grapefruit & Rose Vodka, Orange Liqueur, grapefruit & rose juice, Orange Liqueur foam, Peychaud's Bitters). I love a cute looking cocktail and this one did not fail and it was so good! For my appetizer POR PIA TODD (Fried vegetable spring rolls, sweet plum dip). These spring rolls are at the top on my list - crispy and the filling was so fresh! I wanted to order more but I knew I would not finish my entree. Speaking of entree KHAO PAD SAPPRAROD (Fried yellow curry rice, pineapple, eggs, cashew nuts, onions, scallions and cilantro garnish). The rice was served inside of a pineapple. Absolutely delicious (10/10)!

    Service was wonderful, food could've been better and ambiance was super cute. The lights were super dimmed and there's a whole dragon flowing in the ceiling from front to back of the restaurant. Again, super cute! I only enjoyed the crab fried rice bc there were actual chunks of crab in it. The razor clams didn't taste fresh, just spicy and extremely chewy. The beef skewer was too rough maybe overcooked for too long? The pad kee mao was spicyyyyyyyy to the point where I teared everytime I took a bite lol We should've asked for mild or least spice as possible.

    MASSAMAN NUA. Short rib dish, oddly served in a cast iron skillet

    Viv has been my go to Thai spot in Hell's Kitchen since they opened about 13 years ago. The food was always so great while the service could be hit or miss. The staff was always so chic. The space so hip. I hold this place so close to my heart and change is hard. So imagine my surprise when I went for dinner and asked for the hard copy of the menu (not doing a QR code), and instead of the big gorgeous book of a menu, I was handed a one sheet plastic laminated menu which looked small and as if things had been simplified. I asked - are you under new management or owners? They said no, just revamped the menu. Hmmm?! Gone were my favorite apps - the fried tofu, and signature long thin crispy spring rolls. In its place the new spring rolls are short fat things that look like a crushed eggroll. It was fine. Also got the chicken satay which was very good. As for mains, my favorite dish - the avocado chicken massaman curry served on the bone (as they insisted) was gone. I got my other favorite the drunken noodles with chicken which was great. Now also served with a scrambled egg on top. We also ordered a new dish - the massaman nua, short ribs in the most delicious sauce. When ordering the curry dishes they have gotten rid of most of the options - gone are pork, beef, duck; only chicken, shrimp, tofu remain. The plates they're serving on were different. They use to be unique. Now they're small simple white plates that seem better fit for a diner. The music that was usually pumping, was on low. The dim lighting was turned up, and the place felt bright. The stylish staff, replaced by people in everyday clothes. The whole thing felt a little 'invasion of the body snatchers'. Same space, but it all feels off. I must give them credit the food was good. Prices seem a little higher now. I imagine in the tough restaurant landscape their old menu which was huge, was proving to not be profitable. I will be back, but it just doesn't totally feel like the Viv I knew.

    Vegetable dumplings
    sanjana m.

    hecked out this Thai spot in Hell's Kitchen with a friend after seeing it had over 4,500 reviews--figured we had to see what the hype was about! We started with the vegetable dumplings, which were surprisingly unique compared to the usual--definitely a standout. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (8/10), which I don't usually go for (I tend to stick with Pad Thai or drunken noodles), but I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. The flavors were bold, and it totally paid off. Heads up: they take their spice levels seriously. I ordered medium and it was already pretty fiery--so be cautious if you're sensitive to heat! The vibe was cozy, decor had a warm and inviting feel, and the service was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Thai Iced Tea with Milk & Thai Ice Coffee with Milk
    Caitlyn F.

    Walked in to this place after a movie and we were pleasantly surprised! It's a nice spot, that looks like would be good for group dinners. We ordered the thai tea and thai iced coffee, the thai tea was solid, but the thai iced coffee could have been a bit more creamier and colder, maybe if they added more ice or used pebbled ice instead. The crab fried rice was really good, and the sauce made it even better. They packed our food to go as well, which always adds a point to good service :)

    It's kinda great how they took regular old Thai food and put it in the middle of a clubby vibe. Prices are reasonable and the food is reliable. It's not really a foodie destination, but it's holistically a lot of fun. Pad Thai: Pretty standard. Flavor soaked noodles. Nicely marinated shrimp. A bunch of egg, oddly not mixed in. And various other pieces making this a mélange of flavors.

    Lychee Margarita
    Kiana T.

    This place is always a wonderful experience. The food menu is large and I have yet to try anything I didn't like. One of my favorite dishes are their curries. There massaman nua with sticky rice is chefs kiss. It's beef short ribs, pink potatoes, onions, carrots, peanuts, massaman curry. The short ribs is tender and melts in your mouth. The service here is always amazing. The staff are quick and attentive and super helpful if you like asking for recommendations. The space can seat a lot. It's a popular spot and gets busy most nights. It's a great location for dinner with friends and with a partner. Not so much for a first date.

    Another 10/10 experience with Viv! I used to come here a LOT a few years and finally made my way back. I know folks say absence makes the heart grow stronger but wowwww was that the case here. Every piece of our meal was incredible but the major highlights for me were the appetizers. We ordered the Kra-pow puffs and the fried tofu and they were both so so good. The texture of the fried tofu just melted in your mouth and the sauce that came with the kra-pow puff really danced along your palette. Service-wise I had no complaints! The person taking our order seemed to be a new hire and they did an excellent job attending to us all night. I am someone who likes to ask the wait staff's opinions on menu items and they also did a great job of sharing some helpful insight. Please check out Viv if you haven't yet (if it is been a while!)- you're really going to love it!

    Pad Thai
    Meryam A.

    We came here after work with a group of friends and made reservations early. I had no idea what to expect, but I was blown away as soon as I walked in. The decor is absolutely stunning, especially the lit dragon that spans across the restaurant--it's a real showstopper. Once seated, our server was attentive and helpful right from the start. As big fans of Thai food, we started with the spring rolls and shrimp and chicken dumplings. Both were delicious, though the spring rolls are exceptionally large, making them perfect for sharing with a group. For our mains, we tried the pad see ew, pad Thai, red curry, and duck tamarind. Each dish was flavorful and cooked to perfection, but the standouts for me were the red curry and the pad Thai. The combination of the incredible ambiance and delicious food makes this a place I'll definitely come back to. Highly recommend it for group dinners or a fun night out!

    This was probably the most expensive plate of fried rice I've ever had... that being said, it was probably the best fried rice I've ever had in my life. It was so fresh and delicious and filling and I would absolutely splurge on this again. The service was also really good and the restaurant had such cool decorations. Great for a date night.

    Volcano Chicken
    Grace Nicole C.

    The place is very spacious and a dim lit area which to us made it the perfect date night spot. We called to place a reservation since their website didn't show availability and they were very accommodating, that vibe and attentiveness from the employees translated to our dinner too! We had the Volcano Chicken (which gets poured an actual flame on top and was such a fun thing) and the Kee Mao noodles. The chicken was a tender rotisserie style chicken but the vegetables it came with weren't really good. The Kee Mao noodles were very flavorful but unfortunately were not spicy despite us asking for them to be which was surprising since most Thai places have a pretty good spice level when asking for it to be spicy. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend!

Considering the hectic 48hrs of non-stop traveling and celebrations, I would've been satisfied with a simple takeout meal to end the weekend but to my surprise, one of the best experiences of the trip was yet to come. Thankfully I was blessed with great friends to recommend this exceptional establishment known as Mitr Thai in Midtown Manhattan. Though the trip was centered around a wedding, my experience here instantly became the highlight of my trip to the City. One very genuine friend arranged this dinner, making a reservation for 3 for 7:30pm. To our surprise, we actually made it from Connecticut, walked from Grand Central and to Mitr Thai at 7:25pm even though they won't seat you until your entire party is there. After passing through the scaffolding, the restaurant has a two-door entry, one host after another, leading to a quaint but alluring lobby area. We were greeted by both hosts even though we were bogged down with luggage. The space was welcoming and had a sense of elegance as there was a blend of hardwood furnishings, low lighting and a heavy dose of Thai art/fixtures. For context: Labor Day Monday, at 7-8pm, there was a steady demand as the waiting bench remained full. There were even guests standing but even as more people came in, people were being seated at a consistent rate. Our 3rd friend arrived closer to 8pm and we were seated immediately. Our bags were placed in a small room behind the host podium and we were seated 20-30 meters from the door along the wall facing the bar. The menus were very comprehensive: large, descriptive and filled with graphics that left me wondering if I could try it all. I couldn't praise our server (Mindy) enough. She knew the kitchen, bar and any/all offerings like her own name. She had individual recommendations for each of us AND ADDITIONAL OPTIONS. I listened, ordered the Short Rib Prik Kang and indulged in a Verdant Whisper (Tequila, Cucumber, Lime). I'm not sure how but our food arrived less than 15mins later! The short rib looked good enough to make the entire restaurant jealous: the curry paste glistened in the light, the aroma called my name while the garnishes winked at me. To my disbelief, as good as it looked, it tasted even better! The sauce was robust, smooth, creamy & just spicy enough. Since the ribs slid off the bone, I mixed in the white mixed rice and ate it as a meal. I can proudly say I've never had anything like it. Oh yeah, the cocktail? Smooth, refreshing and relaxing. Worth every penny. I was elated with the overall experience and chose to pay for both of my friend's meals. My only regret is not having more to tip! Mindy gave us the table to chat for another 30mins but in the back of my mind I was still enamored from the meal. I had no expectations when I entered Mitr Thai but I left with a sincere amount of praise and admiration. From cuisine to the hospitality down to the furnishings, dining here was one of the best overall experiences I've had in YEARS. I cannot say enough about this establishment and I hope they Always Strive & Prosper.

I came here with a group of six on a weeknight with no reservations. We were seated immediately on the second floor. The restaurant had a chic, sophisticated interior, with black and gold accents and wood furniture. A large spiral fringe chandelier hung from the ceiling. While the environment indeed was upscale, the food still retained that cozy, home-cooked element known to Thai cuisine. I split the short rib curry and pork cheek with my husband. The curry was creamy with a kick of heat. The beef pull-apart tender. I'm salivating just thinking about it now. The pork cheek was delicious as well. It had the taste and texture of pork belly, which paired splendidly with the sweet and tangy fish sauce it came with. Others from my party ordered the masaman curry and a type of noodle (I think it was the pad kee mao?), and they all approved of their dishes.

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.

He was extremely friendly and took our drink orders right away. I ordered an Espresso Martini, and it was delicious. My father ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was extremely tasty. For our entrees, my mother ordered the Pad Thai, and my father and I ordered the Pho Bó. My mom absolutely loved the Pad Thai! The Pho Bó was incredible. The broth was so delectable, and it was honestly the best broth that I have ever had. The portions were also incredible, especially for the price and being in the city! Once we received the check, we noticed that next to the Pho Bó, it stated that it is Michelin Recommended, and we completely understand why! We are looking forward to going back!

    Stopped by The Thonglor New York for dinner and ordered the pad kra pow with a fried egg on top…read more The egg is definitely a must for this dish! 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! I'd come back again (probably earlier next time) and would be interested in trying more dishes from the menu.

    Ordered takeout, was NEEDING pad thai after a night out. This didn't exactly hit the spot though…read more For being one of the most popular dishes...it's just mid. Not worth $20. The flavor is sweet with a heavy red hue to it. I typically like my pad thai on the browner side if that makes sense. The peanuts add more depth of flavor for sure but it could also use a bit of spice and should've came with a lime wedge to cut the sweetness. Great portion size though & takeout service was fast. Also beware if you don't like tofu as it comes in the eggs that they add to the dish.
