The flavors are fantastic. The food tastes, really fresh and local, the portions are decent, but still filling. We definitely want to go back and try more things .

I have ordered delivery several times from Kati Shop both at home and work and absolutely love it. Last night I introduced my partner to it. He is always skeptical of a make-your-own-bowl/plate style establishment, and when the food arrived and he saw the plates with separate sections for the sides, I don't think he was expecting much-- but after a couple of bites he, too, was like "wow!" This isn't the most traditional Thai place with the most extensive menu, but it's not trying to be, and I love that. The food is a bit lighter and feels healthier than the things we usually order at our other favorite Thai restaurants, but at the same time is not lacking in flavor AT ALL. Having been a fan for a while, I can specifically speak to the deliciousness of quite a few things: -Coriander steak- lovely quality meat, beautifully cooked and seasoned; -Lemongrass chicken- great flavor, generous portion, very white meat but not too dry; -Organic tofu- great texture, and the sesame seeds are a nice touch; -Green curry sauce- very rich, spicy, and authentic- and smartly served on the side, so the food is not drowning in it; -Shredded cabbage- a great meal base when you're trying not to go crazy with the carbs; -Boiled egg with prik num pla- sauce is dangerously spicy but so good; -Larb mushroom- one of the better mushroom preparations I have ever had; and finally, -Mashed potatoes with massaman curry- whoever thought to combine these two things is a true genius. The ultimate comfort food. The next time I am in a bad mood I may just order and consume several sides' worth of these potatoes because they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

9.5/10 The food was fresh like they picked out all ingredients that morning. The seasoning and spices were spot on. I'm glad we walked out of the way to head here. Amazing service delicious food.

Absolutely LOVE their signature curry - packs a tonnnnn of heat! The mushroom larb and chicken meatballs are delicious sides. Really appreciate how clean it is inside. Some seats for dining in. Both this location and the Midtown East location have consistently good food and service. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

My meal at Kati Shop was sensational. I ordered from here for the first time this week. The menu is simple and focuses on Thai-style curry over rice with a healthy blend. The meals are tray style and come with your choice of two sides. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with massaman curry. Massaman curry is my favorite style of Thai curry and it usually has potato in it but I actually preferred that this one did not. It was sweet and spicy but not too spicy for me. It was also very rich and paired well with the lemongrass chicken. Easily one of the best massaman curry dishes I've had. For my sides I ordered the somtum slaw and larb mushroom. These were both simply prepared (no oils or dressings) but they were good. In my takeout order I specified that I wanted my rice packed separately from the chicken (which I understand is different than the "over rice" concept). They didn't quite understand my note but when I came to pick up the order, they were happy to fix it. The store itself is pretty small with some counters to eat. I probably would stick to takeout. Overall, this was a great meal, especially for a fast casual restaurant.

Echoing a lot of other reviews: The staff were friendly, polite and fast; the food was of high quality. Kati Shop follows the same build-your-own-plate / choose-your-own-adventure format as Just Salad, Dig Inn, Chipotle, and just about every other fast-casual lunch place in NYC. At the spotlessly clean glass counter in the back, you choose a base, protein, sauce and two sides. I had: - Salmon over shredded cabbage -- the fish was reasonably moist and fresh, a 3/4 inch wide slice, the cabbage fresh and crisp, not seasoned in any way. - House sauce -- If Bangkok street food were a 10, this would be an 8. It was legitimately spicy with a hint of coconut milk, but a touch acrid from I think un-tempered turmeric. - Larb mushrooms -- These were full of wonderful lemongrass flavor and beautifully marinated. I would return just for these. - Kale salad -- The kale was fresh, but a bit tough (not massaged to tenderness the way we like to make it at home) and either underdressed or not dressed at all. There are a few tables and some counter seating if you wish to eat in. The space is pretty and neat, full of light coming in through the glass front on my visit. But if you do choose to take out, the environmentally-friendly thick paper trays will last a few hours in the fridge even with damp ingredients if you have leftovers. With tax and tip (and no drink), the meal added up to around $18 -- not inexpensive, but also not unreasonable for midtown. Adding this to the lunch rotation.

Can't describe how nice it was to find this spot! The fact that everything is gluten and dairy free makes eating here with allergies easy and worry free. It was so delicious, I kept having to re-read the sign to assure myself I wasn't eating something I shouldn't! The chicken was top quality, the sauce had fantastic flavor, and the portions were worth the price. I would call this a Chipotle for Thai food, but 100x better. Love that you can customize exactly what goes on your plate like that. The employees were knowledgeable and made a great recommendation, the shop was quiet albeit small. Great for solo dining in store or take-out. I will definitely be back because I gotta have their spicy sauce again! Definitely a gluten free gem.

Tried the green curry here. Little bit of spicy for me but the taste was awesome! Portion size was good. Chicken was well cooked and the curry flavour was good.
