One of the best Thai places in the city. Been going for almost 20 years. Still the best Pad Thai I've ever had. Love the Vegetarian duck. Honestly, cant even think of a bad dish here. Gets busy though- Yeye XingDecember 28, 2014Drunken noodle is delicious! Mango salad and winter shrimp is a great starter. Service is very nice, and the price is decent! Order together and share the dishes so you can try more.
Lori LuoApril 16, 2015The latest addition from the owners of Topaz, Tapaz offers modern Thai dishes in a pleasant ambiance. Go for the Duck Spring Rolls and the Fried Papaya Salad.- James KiernanMarch 19, 2019Very good Thai cuisine. Always packed during lunch but they somehow manage to accommodate everyone. If you like spicy, order the Crying Tiger and ask for house hot sauce. 🌶
Dion favoritesFebruary 12, 20177 steamed bangkok dumplings was a great starter. I really enjoyed the red curry. I was not too thrilled with the alcoholic beverage. i would not recommend the mai tai.
VernaOctober 9, 2012Pretty good Thai and cheap lunch specials. The portions are actually generous so you can definitely get away with sharing...which nets out to like $5/person. You'll pay more for a latte.- Fotini🍭December 27, 2016Amazing Thai cuisine! We had Pad Thai & Red Curry and they were fantastic! 👍🏻
Keith KaplanOctober 7, 2014The best drunken noodles I have ever eaten. I ordered it with Pork and it had a real nice spice to it. Definitely going back again.
Tania PlateroOctober 18, 2017Went there for lunch special, absolutely delicious, great service and staff, for about $12 you have savory meal with appetizers included 😋
jkhknycMarch 1, 2016First time in 15 years I got to taste a bowl of noodle soup in NYC that just like those in Bangkok! I was beyond happy if I wasn't in tears :)
Great place for Thai in midtown - especially if you are staying at the Parker Meridien down the street. The Panang Curry with chicken is my go to dish here.
Chrissy S.July 13, 2017The best drunken noodles ever. The other main course and the appetizers were delicious too
SquivyJune 24, 2012Slower service, but worth the wait because food is great! Try the winter shrimp, the flavors work well together. The crying tiger is a good entree to try, and despite the heat label, is not too spicy
Carolyn TMarch 12, 2014Super delicious; been a favorite of mine for years. Be sure to eat in - very fast service and free rice chips with peanut sauce.
Ryan HenaghanAugust 19, 2012Best pad Thai ever! Everything was amazing! Right down to them playing spice girls. Great staff too. I'll definitely be back!
- Christal FleishmanDecember 27, 2015Get the Drunken Noodle. The fried rice is amazing too. Mind altering great Thai food in NYC.
Julia ForsythSeptember 11, 2013A very respectable Thai restaurant - moderately priced too for NYC, great Som Tum (Papaya Salad) and as spicy as you want it- Yum!
Niki GMarch 29, 2017Best thing I had here was definitely the lychee iced tea. Pad Thai with tofu is pictured.
This is the best Thai food I've ever had in my life. And I've had a lot. Amazing noms for the right price. RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED. Especially at lunch! It's hoppin'!
Drunken Noodles are my fav... But that's for entrees... Appetizer - must MUST have the Coco Calamari! The ribs are good too... Recently discovered the Papaya salad pretty good, its just missing salty
Really cheap lunch special and the food here is actually good. The crab cream cheese wontons are my favorite.
Lunch special is all that. Highly recommend the panang curry.
Stephanie RosadoMarch 10, 2014First time here. Had the drunken noodles...spicy. DELICIOUS. Def coming back. Portions and prices are great too.
Read your check VERY carefully. An 18% tip is built in. You will be encouraged to add an additional 18% on the credit card slip. Don't!
The lunch special never disappoints! My go to lunch spot if I have time for a sit down meal.- Dion favoritesFebruary 12, 2017Highly recommend getting by 11:45 am for lunch and by 5:00 pm for dinner to get the best seating.
Michael BienvenueAugust 31, 2013Brandon says: Chicken Pad See Ew is delicious and will be ordered when we come back
- Santiago DuarteSeptember 5, 2014Nice little Thai place. Good options and excellent Phad Thai and Green papaya salad.
Deepti AllaSeptember 8, 2015Do not forget to try the Bangkok fried rice, thai iced tea and thai chicken basil!
Ronak DayaFebruary 26, 2012Good food. Pretty good ambiance too...see if you can get the corner seat for two by the window and away from the crowd! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Keith PetersenAugust 18, 2017Solid food options thats quick and cheap. Space a little cramped but comfortable
Jin MoonJuly 29, 2013The food is delicious when you eat at the restaurant but if you have it for takeout. The taste pretty much sucks. I had take out twice and both times the taste is a bit off.
The Coconut Calamari is AMAZING. Also the side dish of Plain steamed Veggies is a great variety
Sri GuptaMarch 10, 2013Surprisingly good. Noodles are a little oily, but the curry was spot on. Prices reasonable for midtown. (Not great, but reasonable).
Meredith EAugust 7, 2013The red curry shrimp and red curry scallops with brown rice was good! And only $8.95
PrianckaJanuary 10, 2013Awesome food....get the drunken noodles or dancing chicken....just beware of the spice!!!!
Ask for the Drunken Noodle "not spicy". Chicken and Tofu are my favorite with this dish.
Bruno BJune 1, 2018Decent food but far from excellent. The pop music (Britney, Taylor Swift, etc) is extremely off-putting.- Missing salty crabs for the Papaya salad, but still a good salad... :) Enjoy your dinner/lunch!
