G DaniellApril 1, 2015AMAZING food,not a fan of vegetable dumplings till now! Basil beef = delicious,order food fast and efficiently,good customer service, sampler appetizer is a must get,3 star restaurant w/ 2 star price
Arjun ModakJanuary 31, 2015The 2 course pre fixed meal is awesome and just $9... Very good value for money... Loved the lettuce chicken wrap...
Crowded, but definitely the best Thai on the UWS for dining and take out. The vegetable dumplings are a good start.
Daria BlednovaMarch 8, 2018drunken noodles are actually spicy and actually good! overall, the place is great: cozy, stylish, authentic, even though small. good lunch spot!
NearSay NYCJuly 28, 2011N-Sider love: On the search for the spiciest Thai food in NYC, we are happy to report that LTK serves up the spiciest dish of drunken noodles we've ever had! They are out of this world amazing!
The Wall Street JournalMay 13, 2010Worth trying at this posh but low-key place: the two-course prix-fixe lunch ($8) with vegetable dumplings stuffed with shiitake mushroom, sweet corn and peanut, plus steaming pad see ew with beef. Read more
SusanaSeptember 9, 2018Handy before going to the national history museum. Very good lunch menu: everything we tried was very tasty and price was pretty good as well!
Sam SNovember 17, 2015The curries here are stand out. Pad Thai also quite good. That said, stay away from the tofu. Typically it's fried but flavorless. Just order extra veggies. Great service, great food.- Yaz SAugust 21, 2019Favorite Thai spot uptown! Their shrimp pad thai is perfectly tangy & delicious. Their second location Pure Thai in midtown is just as good!
Christina ChinApril 18, 2017Decent uws thai place, not too big, tight seating.pad see ew was good and curry puffs were small but still tasty
- Bethany CrystalAugust 7, 2014Best spicy thai food in the city. Although they deliver, it's better to dine in. Other perks: They've got a fantastic lunch special.
- KarenNovember 26, 2016Best Pad Thai anywhere and delicious curry dishes in a relaxed, elegant, albeit small space, full of authentic touches.
Chris EvansApril 2, 2016Solid Thai fare, bright dishes that go really well with their custom cocktail selections - the grapefruit spritzer is really refreshing.
Ashley RosaJanuary 4, 2018Pork and shrimp dumplings. Pad thai. Green curry. Lychee margaritas. Super friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
alison zimmermannOctober 2, 2015Steamed vegetable dumplings and chicken pad Thai is everything! Spring rolls are great too. Neighborhood staple.
Jessica A.November 16, 2014Thai iced tea, mixed appetizers and shrimp pad thai! Everything was amazing. Great atmosphere and good prices too. :-)
Sabina B.October 19, 2014Best Thai on the UWS. Everything is good, particularly the mixed appetizers, jungle curry, and crab fried rice
Deb FMarch 10, 2014Great food, love coming here but just came here with someone with an allergy and were told not only could they not accommodate... People with allergies were recommended not to eat here.
New York HabitatDecember 19, 2011Good prices with unique and tasty options. Start with the vegetable dumplings and then move on to the drunken noodle. Get it extra spicy!
J.R. ReedDecember 9, 2017Pad thai and green curry chicken must-haves! And shrimp and curry puff appetizers!
Emma HackerMarch 9, 2014I had the land juice, root vegetable spring rolls, and chicken pad Thai. Everything was delicious!
Karla SosaJuly 30, 2015Drunken noodles are to die for! Everything else is also delicious. I love their Thai iced tea
Datrianna MeeksNovember 2, 2015Drunken Noodles are so good! Judging from everyone else's table, I'd say you can't go wrong here.
Serious EatsOctober 20, 2011Upscale Thai by a serious chef; it's not as boldly spiced as some would like, but the flavors are clean and focused Read more
Mark AlexanderApril 28, 2015Vegetable dumplings and those damn shrimp puffs on the appetizer sampler. Crazy good! Oh and drunken noodles. Hell yes.
💎TSeptember 30, 2015They have a $9 lunch special that includes an appetizer and an entree from a preset list.
Mike ChauSeptember 30, 2012Try the vegetable dumplings - Shiitake mushrooms, sweet corn, tofu, spinach, peanut, garlic chips, sesame soy sauce
Kristina RudicOctober 12, 2016Don't skip on the Shrimp Lemongrass Soup. Mains are easy to share, like the duck, which was great!
- Sahil KathawalaNovember 1, 2015Pretty good. The lunch special is a great deal, get the pad see ew and calamari
So good and that lunch special was on point. Two courses for $9 is just too awesome.
marcus HApril 15, 2017A bit too much sugar in many of the dishes. Green chicken curry my personal fav!- Mike ChauSeptember 30, 2012Try the Salmon Fried Rice - Stir-fried grilled salmon with brown rice, string beans and scallions
Rachael FloodFebruary 25, 2013Really delicious Thai food. Tiny little restaurant, lovely staff who didn't seem to mind that we were still in there after they closed!
Abbie WOctober 3, 2014For me, this place does not live up to the hype. Choose another one of the excellent restaurants in the area.
ChrisJanuary 11, 2014Drunken Noodles are pretty good. A bit spicy but not too bad. Enjoyable little joint for some Thai
Ben RAugust 26, 2014Not as good as it once was, but serviceable in an area lacking in good thai. They don't use the right noodles for the drunken noodles, but green curry is tasty and not too sweet.- Favorites: vegetable dumplings and salmon with caramel soy sauce.
@AriannaVarellaSeptember 8, 2010Really delicious food and great service. Never had a bad meal. Can't go wrong with the Atlantic salmon- ESPecially If you are calorie conscious !
Adam ClewleyAugust 28, 2014The green curry was enjoyable with a good amount of chicken. Interior space was a bit cramped though.
