Undoubtedly the best Thai in the city (comparing some of the other popular west village and UES places). I believe they were the popular joint Uncle Boon’s which became uncle boon’s sister delivery only around the pandemic and now this is their latest incarnation. Magnificent flavorful Thai food. I had the hot toddy cocktail, green curry clams and the short rib preparation- perfect combination.

Thai diner is amazing. Such a unique place. Decor is amazing and all the food is incredible. Recommend sharing food with 2 or 3 people. Their sweets are all good. Mr banana cocktail was tasty if you like a stronger drink. Penang curry w short rib was so good. So was crab fried rice. Recommend going during off hours so you don't wait forever. Like 2:00pm during the week is a great time to snag a table.

Very good food. Really like their Green papaya salad (must-try). Disco fries are pretty good too. Laab is on the spicier side, but it’s very flavorful. Laab comes with a bowl of wild rice. But due to its spice and flavor, I would order additional bowl of rice if you are in a group of 2-4 people.

Arrived on a Sunday at 6pm, waited 30 mins after getting on waitlist. Ambience is immediately warm and cozy when you walk in with red paper lanterns lining the room. Food is unique with American fusion elements. Tried the famous disco fries (my fav dish), lettuce wraps (very good), pad see ew (surprisingly small portion), papaya salad (spicy -- be warned), and monster cake (more for visuals than taste). Overall would come back to try brunch!

Incredible brunch on a Sunday. This was the best meal I've had in NYC over a 5 day stay. We had the fried chicken Phat Thai w/fried egg, elephant ear French toast, and the disco fries. I can't recommend these dishes enough. If you get there a few minutes before 10am opening, you should be able to get in without a wait or reservation.

My friend and I came here for the first time. We sat outside, which was fine as long as the weather was warm. We weren’t sure what to expect, so we just read the menu and chose what we wanted to try. My favorite dish was the Thai disco fries, and my friend really liked the duck wonton soup. I’m Thai, so I know what authentic Thai flavors taste like, but the way they adapted Thai food here was very delicious and beautifully presented, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice, and the staff were friendly and provided great service as well.👍👍

A top spot in SoHo for amazing Thai food. Expect to wait but I promise you won’t be disappointed. The lycee Martin was the best I had in NYC and I tried a few. Loved the pad Thai noodles with crispy tofu! It was plentiful, perfectly seasoned and sauced and big enough to sate or next day leftovers. Also the loved the cabbage rolls stuffed with turkey in a light curry sauce. Still thinking about the meal a week later. Put it in your NYC list!

An authentic Thai restaurant offering a wide variety of dishes and traditional sauces, all full of flavor and very well prepared. The food is excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. The restaurant is smaller than it appears, which can make it feel a bit tight at times. The only downside was the service: the waitstaff prefers that you place your entire order at once and tends to rush the process, which doesn’t leave much room to enjoy the meal at a relaxed pace.

This was an unexpected surprise and I enjoyed every minute of it! I was in the area and happened to search for a breakfast spot, and this popped up as a nearby recommendation. I was intrigued because I have never seen breakfast at a Thai restaurant. What’s sit out most was the Elephant Ear French toast. The wait was quick just 20 minutes and we were seated for a party of two. The service was just as quick despite it being a busy and packed restaurant. I’m so happy I ordered the French toast. It was so unique and delicious. It has the flavors of a chai tea wrapped up in a delicious elephant ear French toast. Highly recommended. I will be back soon for more!

The funny thing about this place is I didn’t know anything about it until recently. My coworker. I work at food for workspace would constantly talk about how this is her favorite place and constantly talk about. The funny thing is that I booked a reservation here with my partner and then the next night my coworker took us all to Thai Diner so I had this place two times in a row completely different experiences The food here is amazing. The portions are large. It’s authentic the papaya salad alone makes you wanna come back for so much more the way it’s made is perfect and I’m literally salivating as I talk about it. I haven’t had a dish here I haven’t liked we also had a loaded disco fries, which is extremely crispy and tasty. They were even delivered to work one day and got cold and I still ate them which I don’t recommend in that way they’re delicious fresh All the noodle dishes were good but there’s also a big sundae dessert thing that is highly recommended. Oh my God it blew me away Huge beautiful and exciting. See the pictures. The ambience alone is stunning. It’s very warm. I got a great feel inside and out. The look is so cool like a New York City diner mixed with a Thai restaurant, stunning authentically, beautiful all the way through they thought of everything Go here or go often the staff is amazing. I really don’t have anything bad to save this place. It’s one of my top restaurants in 2025.
