Food overall was delicious, I tried one of the cocktails was also well made and tasty. Was a little noisy but expected from a popular restaurant. Service was great and always ask if we are good with everything or if we needed anything. A must try when in time square.

Incredibly accommodating and delicious! Expert customer service and care. The nicely stuffed crispy spring rolls were a bonus but the chicken green curry made my mouth water! A+

Sat at the bar, Bo Luc Lac was amazing, the same for the crispy pork belly. The staff was very nice and quick.

This restaurant serves both Thai and Vietnamese dishes. I prefer their seating area on the second floor.

Pretty good Asian fusion menu! Unfortunately, I asked them to bring out a dessert with candles because we were celebrating 2 birthdays — didn't care whether it was comped or not — but this request was not honored.

The food was average, the atmosphere was average, but the atmosphere felt bad because of the poor service. I visited for a late lunch and the female staff member at the entrance didn't say anything when she saw me. I greeted her, but she ignored me and tied up her hair. I should have left there then. This is my mistake. But a male employee appeared and asked, “What’s going on?” He said, “I’m going to have lunch,” and showed me to my seat. Why would you come to a restaurant to eat? It was absurd, but I sat down and placed my order with another female employee.The food was served not hot. The reason I usually go for soup is because of the cold weather, but it didn't satisfy me, but the chef who brought me the food was friendly. He was the only friendly staff member in this restaurant.Also, they greeted other guests kindly as they left. They didn't ask me how the food was.I paid for the food and, honestly, I didn't want to tip, but I did. However, when I left, they did not say hello to me as they did to other guests. I regret giving a tip. Why does this restaurant do that to me? This is my first time experiencing this worst service in the US. New York has great service, but I don't think this is a New York restaurant. My worst lunch ever.

Nestled in the lively West Side, Obao is like that cool friend who knows all the culinary secrets. The beef pho? It's like a flavor explosion, but I could've gone for an extra sprinkle of bean sprouts for that extra crunch. And don't get me started on the Thai tea—it's like a sweet nostalgia trip, just a heads-up, ask for less milk if you're not big on the sweetness.My friend went for the udon noodles with shrimp, and man, it was like a savory punch in the taste buds, a bit like when two pop culture icons collided in that viral meme.To top it off, Obao surprised us with two cocktails as a thank-you for our review. They were like little works of art, not just in taste but in presentation too. Obao isn't just about food; it's about creating experiences that make you want to come back for more.

1. The place is dirty2. they are giving you 1 hour and 30 minutes. Is it a joke? I went out with friends to have a good time a relax but this place became just about money more like McDonalds.3. Waiters are so nasty.The place literately stink like somebody died in there, because they don’t even have time to properly wash the floors. What are waste of my evening.
