I can't decide which is better: the food or the service. That's how excellent both are. Don't miss out on their ice cream medley!
Bubblez SinclairAugust 8, 2014The food is great. I had the volcanic chicken and a margarita tequila and it was delicious. The prices were more than affordable and the portions were perfect. Love this place....just wish it was bigg
My favorite Thai restaurant for its taste & ambiance, but also for its desserts. Get the TriStar: flourless chocolate cake w/ green tea ice cream, fried banana w/ vanilla ice cream, & creme brulee.
Xian XianJanuary 24, 2013Delicious martini shrimp. Good place to get a solo lunch/dinner or meet up with friends. For those going solo, there's bar seating (full bar) too. Friendly quick service. Good green curry shrimp too!
Nikhil AbbotJuly 8, 2013The name of this restaurant is Spice & not Cafe Spice. Please fix the error on Foursquare. The menu is moderately priced & better than most other Thai restaurants. The flavors are authentic. Go for it
The portions are generous and the prices are fantastic, especially the lunch specials! The shrimp pad Thai and the sea food tom yum were both really good.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 23, 2011The food is good, the portions are very generous and the price is right. Try the Drunk Man Noodle, The Thai BBQ Chicken or the Thai Spicy Crispy Pork.
Santia ValerioApril 7, 2013Drunkman noodles are the best. Love the ambiance however I would appreciate being able to see my food. They needed a real waiting area! All in all it's always a good time here :-)
TribecaApril 7, 2014In honor of the Tribeca Film Festival, try the "SAPPHIRE® East Cocktail", an exotic variation of the gin & tonic featuring BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® East Gin and fresh cucumber.
Justin WylieDecember 29, 2012Great food, better price for the quality. Intimate atmosphere. Love the imported beers. Highly recommended. It is a little small, so a reservation at peak times might help you.
Corey WallApril 10, 2012Have gone to Republic in Union Square for Thai many times but after great calamari and shrimp pad thai at about 2/3 of the price, I'll be going back to Spice (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Mason McCoyAugust 20, 2014The cocktails are strong and the Lemongrass Chicken Breast never fails. Somewhat tacky interior and the crowd is heavy. If you don't have a reservation, it's better to try the East Village location.
Brittany GoodwynAugust 17, 2014The nabon noodles and pot stickers are great. The atmosphere is also very nice. Great place for lunch. Very reasonably priced.
Kazem EdmondAugust 21, 2014One of the fastest and highest quality lunch specials in the area. The service is impressive. This place even has a cool waterfall!
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011We love the dumplings at this Thai restaurant, and they also have awesome lunch specials. If dumplings aren't your thing get the Drunk Man Noodle. Yum!
Deven MarteFebruary 15, 2016Maekong Aged pork Chop, so flavorful! Pad thai and spring rolls are also a perfect pair! Decor is enchanting!
Frank RimalovskiMay 26, 2012Good ultra mod Thai just off Union Sq. very reasonable for lunch with good service. Aged pork chop was pretty tasty. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Mike SimonAugust 16, 2013Lunch for 3, only $30 bucks. Good food great portions. Chicken curry, and shimp fritters awesome. Quick, friendly service!
Khalid ElachiSeptember 3, 2013best lunch specials with great portions. spring rolls with the dipping sauce and spicy basil with veggies are staples.
Keith KaplanJanuary 30, 2015Can't beat the lunch specials. I got a pot stick appetizer and drunken man noodles for under $10. Not bad at all.
Simone CareagaAugust 30, 20122 apps will fill you up for cheap! Get the curry puffs, lettuce duck wraps, calamari, and their bigger dishes are great too
Bella LApril 14, 2014Portions were good. I ordered the Bacon Fried Rice... Got way more bacon than I expected. My friend got the Shrimp fried rice loaded with shrimp as well. They don't skimp on the meals.
KaitlinJuly 7, 2013Great portions, quick service. Hawaiian ginger & pineapple is good. Music is basically last year's NOW cd on loop.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾January 14, 2015The crispy spring rolls are everything. Great lunch special- free appetizer with and entree.
StephenDecember 27, 2012Pork chop is amazing. Everything I've had on the menu is really delicious. Great prices with generous portions.
Benazir MartinezJanuary 24, 2018Love the food. Drunk noodles are bomb and the lunch special is super cheap.
Kelly MaesAugust 17, 2012Affordable AND tasty authentic Thai (under $10 a plate) in a very cute little spot. The green curry is delish.
Annie TNovember 20, 2012Shrimp fritters is the best app. Crisy pork belly (yeah it's cripsy, well cooked) with broad black noodles!
Grishma PatelMay 21, 2016Good lunch specials! This was a quick easy stop and the food was worth the price 👍🏽👌🏽
Erin PettigrewAugust 31, 2011If you require a substantial helping of rice to sop up your main course, then consider ordering an extra side of it for $1. The portions are miniscule and cone-shaped otherwise.
Drunken man is really good. Best dish on the menu. The spare find are a great starter too.
Michael VenzkeMay 3, 2014Fast service. Food is good, but if something's labeled spicy and your restaurant is called Spice, it should probably at least be a tiny bit spicy.
Sari NicoleAugust 1, 2013Avocado salad is delicious! The noodle dishes are great but there's way too much noodle and not enough veggies.- Eggplant with holy basil and pork belly is the best. After going 25+ times the manager finally remembered my name!
- Great food, slow, iffy service. I come here 2-3 days a week at least and they still don't know my name.
Incog NicoDecember 5, 2013Food was great but the service excruciatingly horrible. We were constantly rushed through our meal and they had the nerve to bring the check BEFORE we even got our dessert. Un-freaking-believable!!!
Try the Samui Pad Thai With Tofu - Stir fried carrots, bean sprouts, peanuts and scallions
Khary RobertsNovember 13, 2011Good food but sometimes it takes a while to get a table. Go next door to Bar 13 and get 2-for-1 drinks while waiting to be seated.
D C🐧December 5, 2011Drunk man noodles r official!! A MUST!!!! & the beef fried rice! Drinks aren't all that but very cheap prices for great Thai food :)
Meghan KathleenMarch 26, 2011Their lunch menu is available on the weekends & is super cheap. For $7.50 you can get an appetizer & entree. Yum.
Kayiesha Jeans-CityflexxJuly 13, 2014Yow the food turnt up. I recommend no appetizers unless ur really hungry. Great place.
Dee MyaOctober 24, 2010the service was horrible, but the food was pretty amazing.. fresh summer rolls and crispy spring rolls are so good, the sauces r what make it good,
Walter ArevaloJune 23, 2013Red curry chicken was very good. Highly recommended, but only if you don't mind the spiciness.
