Harlem’s HungryApril 10, 2015Every bite was delicious. The staff very clean and friendly. I enjoyed the luncheon atmosphere and giggled at the jealousy of people who were afraid to challenge the menu
- Harlem’s HungryAugust 4, 2015The calamari was light and crisp. The atmosphere was almost like a Chinese BBQ the tables were way to close. The spirits are really tasty and not too expensive. My steak was nice and tender.
Christoph'e LangstonSeptember 9, 2014Just about all their dishes are delicious but my favorites are the Pineapple Rice, the shrimp shumi, and my regular "Aged PorkChops "... I recommend you try them all!
Wonderful lunch happy hour and dinner has some great choices. I have only been here twice and got the Pad Se Ew and they were both great. Only disadvantage is getting in and out of those damn seats!
Juan JuarezJuly 26, 2014The $8 lunch special amazing! The shumai shirm and chicken apetizer great! And $1 Thai Iced Tea is golden!! 👌
Try the tuna tartare appetizer; delicious citrus-y flavor with fresh raw tuna and cilantro! So far the only bad thing on the menu I had was the fried salmon roll app.
the lunch and early bird specials are a steal, and even non-specials are pretty reasonable. just be weary of the additional five dollar delivery charge if you feel like staying in.
Valentina VelaNovember 23, 2013Plates are big and good, get one each and share, share, share! Also, the lychee nut martini is excellent. Try it for $5 at happy hour (4-7 pm)!
Dropped in around 5:30 today with a friend and enjoyed what might be the best Pad Se Ew I've ever had at such a decent price. Will definitely be making regular visits in the future.
Shrimp and vegetables with glass noodles is being served on a mountain of noodles with a light vegetable portion. Don't be fooled by the menu photo.
Nolo ZitaMay 24, 2013Their lunch specials $8 and their early bird special is $11 everyday!! And they deliver if you live or work around the area!!
aisha goodridgeAugust 29, 2010The drinks are awesome! Herbal red snapper is the best. Be sure to get the beef skewers, spring rolls and goyza too. I go there atleast 3 times a week......Ben is the best bartender.
Get a stamp card next time your here. You get a stamp when u spend over 10 bucks. every 5 stamps gets u a free small entree and every ten gets u a large entree.
Aditya BasuOctober 15, 2014Listen to the voice of the people, get the basil udon. The duck and apple salad is tad too savory.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾November 24, 2014Great lunch specials and yummy food. The Thai iced tea is a must! Service is a little slow.
Rhea GalsimJanuary 16, 2013REALLY like the Crispy fillet of Flounder! Fresh, tasty and yummy! Can get overcrowded since this place is way too good.
Akua AidooOctober 11, 2014Such a clutch Thai spot. Happy hour and lunch and dinner specials. Pretty fast service too.
My boyfriend loves the chicken massaman curry. He's been ordering it for almost a decade and it never fails him.
Sweta MohapatraNovember 14, 2014This place gets packed quickly so don't expect to get a fast meal. If you're a student, make sure you have your ID with you for a 10% discount- Wok spicy beef with eggplant means Thai eggplant in menuese. Said egggplant looks like a cross between squash/green pepper and tastes good.
fanny montalvoDecember 8, 2011One of my favorite downtown places! Food is terrific! Have brought many a friend and client here- prices for lunch and dinner cannot be believed!
Rachel WangOctober 11, 2014Lunch deal is awesome. My fav is the basil udon, just a bit spicy and savory.
Gloriann ChhouthJuly 9, 2010Love this place. The price range is reasonable and the food is awesome. The appetizers are really good as well.The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. I reccommend this place.
Ignacio FinolMarch 27, 2012Get ready to be hustled by the waiters, but at these prices they could force feed me the food and I would still come back here. Get the lunch special. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more- Cafetasia has a card-based loyalty program. 10 ticks @$10+ = 1 "large dish. Ask for it. Only saw it today, after several visits, when the manager offered it.
The music here is hilarious. If it's not 90s R&B slow jams, it's 90s rap. Gotta love fried rice with a side of Snoop Dogg. lol
Florence HSeptember 16, 2013Malaysian lahksa or basil fried rice with virgin summer rolls for the lunch special. Can't go wrong.
Great food and an awesome early meal price. Appetizer, entree and a drink, just over $10. Friendly waitstaff and pleasant atmosphere.
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011Good, reliable Thai food at this Greenwich Village establishment. We recommend the chicken basil udon and the spring rolls.
One of the best lunch specials in the NYU area! It can be noisy, but the service is fast and good.
delivery.comJune 26, 2012Delicious and affordable lunch specials! Get pineapple fried rice delivered to sweeten the deal.- Crispy chicken gyoza rise above the routine as accompanied by pickled ginger and cilantro.
Good innexpenive Thai food - especially the $8 lunch special
Can't go wrong with their green curry or spicy beef and brown rice lunch specials.
Cindy WongDecember 29, 2009The lunch specials ($8 entree, appetizer) and Happy Hour (entree, appetizer, drink for $10) can't be beat! Fav is the Malaysian laksa. Great place for Pan Asian options.
HashtagNYUNovember 16, 2012You can't beat the $8 lunch special. Also don't those communal tables feel like summer camp?
Ricky PottsSeptember 5, 2010They have a pretty extensive menu here. Try the sampler platter that allows you three individual small portions for only $11. They also serve a mean brunch on Sunday.
Kirsten SmithApril 29, 2010Thai food in a cute setting that's fantastic for large groups & inexpensive dining. Try a bunch of dishes to share, arranged by serving size - S, M, L, XL.
StyleScrybeApril 15, 2012The early bird special is a great deal- appetizers, entree & drink for $10, and it actually tastes good.
ReshmaJuly 30, 2011Really great happy hour special till 7PM. $10 for app, entree + drink plus $4-$6 cocktails. Guava Cosmo was so tasty!
No longer great. On fact may not even come back. Prices have gone up, no more evening special, confusing menu, really chewy beef curry, vietnamese pork chops that just have pepper on them...
India MorganJune 7, 2011Happy hour is 4 to 7 and they have a food special that's 10 bucks for an app, an entree, and a drink. A STEAL for the area.
Melody EwingAugust 26, 2010The calamari is fantastic. Perfectly portioned with delicate, crispy breading on the outside. The dipping sauce is delicious as well!
TigranOctober 2, 2014I thought I loved this place, but just found a piece of glass in my mouth having pad thai. Never back again.
Erika NonkenDecember 3, 2012Service was poor: app. came before drink, entree before app. was half done, couldn't get check. Food adequate American Thai: no seafood in the Tom Yum, limp tofu in curry, nice amount of spice though.
