Crowded, yummy and Nice friendly staff

Many of the cocktails here are inspired by the food menu. The Tom Yum Shot for example, is similar in taste to the spicy hot-and-sour soup, but elevated w/ a glug of tequila and a salt-and-chile rim. Read more

Poached salmon in a skillet with vegetables and sticky rice $22. Appetizer sampler is the right amount of 4 between 2 for $22. Book ahead.

Everything on the menu is amazing - loved the Chiang Mai fries, Kale fried rice and Green Curry. Pro tip: have a couple of Muay Thai's while you're at it! Kid friendly, our girls had a blast.

Love that their Pad Kee Mao's spicy level is on par with Thai-spice. Spicy level is no joke. They add really good vegetables like king oysters and fresh peppercorn.

Curry so good I drank the broth. Spicy really means spicy and I love it. On point wings. That green tea sticky rice though 🔥🔥🔥
Kristi LeeMay 29, 2014
Best sweet potato fries and shrimp pad thai of my life. Everything was nice except my server taking away my dish and glass when I still had last piece and last sip of things. ):

I love this place. Pomegranate mimosa is perfect. Tom Kha soup is smooth and just the right spice. Green curry fried rice could be spicier but I'll just ask for more spice next time.
Honghui YuAugust 19, 2014
By far, my favorite East Village Thai restaurant. Old-school pad thai, Chiang Mai fries, and green curry fried rice are just some of the delicious items to be had here.

I rarely come across great Thai ever since I attended cooking school in Thailand. Ordered the Red Curry here and it was just the perfect amount of spice and tangy — the place is really loud, though!

Get the lamb massaman roti pot pie! It's tender, chewy, moist and perfectly seasoned lamb covered in a layer of creamy sweet potato and topped with a "crust" reminiscent of Asian pancakes and naan.

Start with the Crispy Chicken “Laab” with Sesame Sticky Rice ($14), then devour a bowl of the Classic Pad Thai ($12) or Papaya Pad Thai ($16). Read more

The chicken pad see ew is perfectly spicy. Don't pass on the burger because it's a Thai joint...this is the perfectly thai style/flavored burger. I could eat here every day.
Betsy SwannMarch 17, 2013
Never had a bad meal here. Have had all the curries, the lamb roti pot pie, mushroom spring rolls, wings, pork belly, and of course my fave zucchini pad Thai... All cooked to perfection.

A very simple and industrial space where you’ll enjoy Pumpkin Fries, Chicken Wings, Chicken Pot Pie and Cutie Duckling. Chef Hong will greet you herself.
Simon KratzerJuly 20, 2017
My favorite Thai place in the city. Squid and pork shoulder are just amazing.
Harumi UJuly 27, 2014
During brunch hours they serve brunch food (option of bottomless drinks for a price) or regular lunch food. Roti & egg pancake was very nice. More roti than egg - to my taste bus
Connie ChiuNovember 10, 2014
Come with the understanding that this is Thai fusion and it will be delicious. Don't get traditional dishes; go to Thai terminal instead. Try the lamb pot pie; really good!

Everything is amazing, modern Thai. Great price point. Cozy, communal, energetic. Book a ressie on Open Table to insure you get in. 1/2 block from 3rd Avenue L train.
Eliza ChangMarch 15, 2015
Fantastic pad thai: delicate, complex, fresh flavors. Surf & turf for two was a delicious and well-executed platter of protein 💪. Chicken soup is 👌 as well.

My new favorite Thai place! The drunken noodles were perfectly spicy and addictively delicious! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled amazing.
Datrianna MeeksMarch 20, 2016
Drunken noodles are amazing! Also, I love that calamari is one of the proteins you can add to any dish!
Emily L.April 29, 2013
Dinner: Phenomenal. Their duck pad thai was cooked perfectly. Lobster Ravioli was spicy and rich. Their thai burger could have been a tad better but the fries are delish- dip into garlic sauce!
Wilson ZhouApril 28, 2014
Hong Thaimee, the chef and owner of this unassuming Thai restaurant in the East Village, having worked the kitchens of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market and Chiang Mai’s Mandarin Oriental.

the Thai burger is sooooo good. come for drunch and have bottomless drinks like lychee mimosas and mango bellinis.
Victoria MoyJuly 30, 2013
I could eat the Wings and Som Tam with sticky rice every meal. Every item has a sight twist from the typical thai in the states. But still maintains authenticity.
Ina LiAugust 30, 2015
If you are looking for Thai for a healthier twist, this is the place. But I'm more for the traditional, greasy yet super fragrant Thai dishes in hole in a wall kind of places.
Jay LMarch 13, 2015
Best green curry I've had in Manhattan...tastes of coconut milk and spices instead of bullion. Dark Night was good but little too oily
Nick AndlingerFebruary 25, 2015
The go-to thai delivery spot. Drunken noodles and pad Thai were fantastic. Finally found a place that actually makes dishes spicy enough.

Awesome pad thai, and weird to say but really delicious Thai Burger. If you're in the EV and looking to try something different. Go for it!

Pad Thai is classic, but be as adventurous as the menu and order the Dark Knight, Shiitake Mushroom Spring Rolls, a Thai Burger or some Green Curry Fried Rice
Nicky K.September 18, 2014
Not only one of the best Thai restaurants in nyc but one of the best restaurants period. Papaya noodle pad Thai is a must. Yum 😍
Jacob MenseMarch 1, 2016
Everything is great at Ngam. Personal favorites Pad See Eu and basil chicken fried rice. Top THAI restaurant in NYC by a mile
Duygu BasaranSeptember 22, 2012
It's my first time here and I had a mixed experience. My friend ordered the half chicken and it came raw. I ordered the Thai burger and it was great. I don't think I will come back.
Anastasiia SavinaJune 5, 2016
Coconut Mojito is a must!) Food is just delicious, everything! We came a group of 5 and tried almost all on the menu.
Mikahla VicinoMay 29, 2017
Fast, friendly and delicious. You can't go wrong with pad Thai and pad see yew.
Jenny W.May 26, 2013
Amazing Thai cocktails. Papaya Pad Thai was the table favorite, along with the curried soft shell crab special. New fav Thai spot in NYC
John AApril 20, 2015
Lively atmosphere for fresh farm to table thai cooking. Recommend green curry, and som tum salad, and the Dark Knight.
GloriaSeptember 17, 2014
Delicious pad thai! Free drink came with my order. Coconut juice and Thai iced tea were sweet and refreshing (and free with an order)
diana jinSeptember 27, 2015
Sit at the counter and watch the chefs cook up a storm. Super fresh ingredients, heathy options, and so much flavor!
Kirsten PowerMarch 17, 2013
Second best egg on a meal I've ever had- dish is the "quack and kale". Comparable to the egg+mushroom pizza at ABC Kitchen
jena savioMay 6, 2015
Black squid noodles with fried calimari is just incredible. Sweet potato fries are unique, unlike anywhere else. Nothing bad on this whole menu
Christian DickmannApril 19, 2015
Get the drunken noodles or the red curry. Both were great. The green papaya salad looked amazing. I need to try it.
Abigail KofflerJune 3, 2015
Make a reservation! Or sit at the bar and try pad Thai with papaya or zucchini noodles.
Deep GujralOctober 9, 2017
Favorite Thai restaurant in east village. Ask to dine at the common table and make some new friends
Rewan PartiMarch 2, 2015
Crab and pineapple salad are a must have! The drunken noodles are delicious. Have a reservation before you come here!
Lou AllenMay 2, 2015
Pad thai with papaya noodles is yummy and light. Try the east villager cocktail.
Jordan PickApril 8, 2016
