    The food was tasty, we really enjoyed the Gai Rad Preeg and a noodle dish. If you like spice ask for the spice rack, it has a few different spice flavors to add in. Staff was really nice and prompt.

    Som tom & Pad see eww are my goto Thai dishes and these tasted just the way i like. Thai Orchid martini was delish! I love creme brûlée, and theirs tasted good, but had lychee bits IN it = odd texture

    Start with the peanut dumplings. "Gra Prow Kai Dow" was very tasty but also spicy. "Gai Rad Preeg" is a delicious sweet and spicy choice with lots of flavor. Get the Fried Ice Cream.

    This joint has some amazing calamari. Simple tempura batter, lightly fried, and not tough to chew. Paired with a sweet plum sauce thats out of this world. Coconut sticky rice with mango is too die for

    Eater: great place for those who crave Thai curries. Green is the spiciest, closely followed by Panang. Filled with minced shrimp, the Thai market crepe is another menu high point.

    Hard to find good Thai in NYC, but they do it right here. Vegetarians beware: many dishes and soups have fish sauce or chicken stock. Ask for them to make without.

    The gai rad preeg, of mysterious origin and provenance, is addictive and delicious--chicken cut into strips and then stir-fried in a fiery tamarind-and-ginger sauce, served with bok choy and rice.

    Everything - my favorite Thai place in the city. The pad kee mao with chicken is my go to, but I’ve never ordered something I didn’t like off their menu.

    Great lunch special. Thai dumpling appetizer was good. Chicken pad Thai was amazing. Best I've ever had. Thai iced tea for the thirst of course. Good place.

    Kow Soy is the best thing you never knew you were missing, second only to the Kui Teiw Kua Ped. Wash away your shame with Thai Iced Tea. Check take-out orders carefully - they tend to forget things.

    The hustle and bustle of a Chiangmai eatery. Great vibe, service and food. Loved the dumplings.

    Most wonderfully seasoned skirt steak I've ever had! Marinated in chili garlic puree and served with green tea sticky rice + perfectly sauteed vegetables. A must try!

    A good selection of two-course lunch specials is available for $8 (before tax and gratuity) between noon and 3:30 pm everyday, including weekend.

    It's unbelievably popular, especially with the Columbia crowd. So, it lacks a good selection of drinks, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Pad Thai is really fantastic. Appetizers are cheap, plentiful and good. Awesome Thai and worth the trip to 107.

    Great food! They're not on seamless but it's worth picking up the phone and calling them for takeout.

    Decorated like a Southeast Asian market this place has the quirk of one too - Here that means food far hotter, sauces more tart and even portions more generous.

    Possibly the most authentic Thai food in New York. Their Panang curry is always perfect

    More than decent Thai for the neighborhood, even if it falls short of hardcore authenticity.

    Among the best pad thai I've had in the city. Not too sweet or saucy, with just the right of peanut.
