“Amazing food, service, and ambience! The braised pork belly was delicious, and the staff both friendly and professional!“

“Delicious food with great service“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“Stumbled upon this Thai restaurant, and was very pleased with the food and experience. The Khao soi chicken was cooked very tender and fell off the bone. Pad Kra Pow pork dish was also really satisfying. The food was spicy, but the flavour worked well to make you want more. Highly recommended!“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“Good foods n good service 🥰 I love there so much 🇺🇸 ขอบคุณครับ“

“Penang curry with chicken was awesome!“

“Excellent food and service“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“Mind blowing experience from beginning to end. From the chicken wings to the sliced steak, to the prawn padthai and crab fried rice. This place does not miss with their food and service. BRAVO!

MY kids also loved it. Staff was very friendly.“

“Food is really good and worth the value for your money. Servers were really nice and sociable! I love that they use thai language to greet and say thank you to customers. It’s what makes the experience in this restaurant one of a kind.“

“I absolutely loved this place The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish tasted amazing, and I can’t wait to come back and try more.

The staff were so kind, welcoming, and attentive. They made the whole experience even better with their warm hospitality.

One of my favorite parts was getting to practice a little Thai that I’ve picked up from watching Thai series. It was such a fun moment, and the staff were so sweet and encouraging. It made the visit feel even more special.

If you are looking for authentic, delicious food and wonderful service, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be back.“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“$15 lunch special EVERYDAY 1130-330

Ive only ordered delivery.

Ive had the pad thai, basil fried rice, pad se ew, and thai fried rice. All are great for Manhattan. Pad thai isn't the best ive had BUT Chomp Chomp makes up for it with the portion size. I do really enjoy their fried rice. Their choice of appetizers (2 veg/noodle spring rolls or chicken tom yum) are great additions to the lunch special.

Another BIG PLUS is that they dont skimp on the protein even on the lunch portion!!! And the protein prices are the same for the offerings (veggie, tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, pork & mock duck). That is a game changer in 2026!! Other thai places charge up to $7 for a different protein on top of the price going up to $25+ for a lunch special so $15 is an AMAZING DEAL for this neighborhood and in 2026.

Please dont change Chomp Chomp!!

Will come back again!“

“Amazing staff. Amazing Thai Food.“

“Love the menu. Cocktails are delicious 😋. Friendly staff. I love this place“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“had the best dinner ever, so I will recommend that“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“Delicious Thai food. Classic dishes. Vegan. Lovely Ms May Kaidee cooks your food!! She is a cookbook author, chef, dancer, noted restaurateur in Thailand. Interior is decorated with Thai symbols. Great food. I had noodles and vegetables with an amazing sauce. Mango desert with coconut sauce and yummy rice, fantastic!!! Joe might be your waiter and is kind and professional. Such a wonderful place!!!“

“I like this place a lot. I’ve been three times. They have a nice drink special too. My friends said they could smell the air freshener from the bathroom from our table and that the bathroom wasn’t nice. I didn’t smell that and the bathroom seemed normal to me.“

“Great food. Great service. Reasonable prices too..“

“Great cocktails , dark , adult vibe , friendly staff , tasty food large portions !“

“Incredible meal. Fish cakes Larb. But the beat was Drunken Noodles with duck.“

“We came on a Thursday right before the 4th. We were immediately seated and noticed the place was a little warm. Not a big deal because it is one of the hottest days this summer. It's almost 100. We got the High Mixed appetizer and the chicken pad Thai. The sampler was good. Spring rolls were good and the dumplings were good. Couldn't do the crab for seafood allergy but the fourth item, we didn't like. It was the texture and didn't have the flavor I was expecting based on the presentation. Service was ok. They had a little bit of a crowd and got them out of there promptly. The pad Thai was really good. It had the perfect amount of flavor and it was light. We needed it to be light because it is hot outside and we still have a lot of walking to do. Overall, it was good. That last item on the High Mixed can go.“

“Tasty food. Good presentation and small cozy place. Staff was accommodating. We had a party of 5. We waited a bit to be seated because it’s a small place. Food came hot. Their chive pancake was good. Their spicy fried rice was spicy, but good. I’ve been twice and I’ll keep coming back. A bit busy at times, but easy to get a seat if you’re a small table.“

“Wonderful thai restaurant — with a full service bar, really clean and nice interior, with tons of seating.

The food is always wonderful — the pad Thai with chicken is great. The staff is very welcoming, providing excellent service!

A great, easy Friday evening dinner spot.“

“This is one of the most delicious Thai meals I've ever had. The lunch deal is awesome. An entree and soup for $22. I added on a lager for $7. In NYC that's a deal for food of this quality. The interior is well designed, music creates great ambiance. The service is prompt and friendly. Go!!“

“Wonderful food prepared by loving people - making it even better for you!“

“Excellent food and wait-staff. Beautiful ambience. However, front desk was rude and unhelpful. We waited more than 20 minutes after our reservation time to get a table. Front-desk staff either ignored us when we tried to ask them or gave extremely curt answers.“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“I am on a low grain and sugar diet, so I order their chicken only in large size. Can pick 2 kinds of chicken - I ordered roasted and poached. Also comes with some cilantro & cucumber, 2 kinds of sauces, and dark soy sauce.
Both types of the chicken are delicious! And large is a lot of chicken! I usually make a salad and top it with chicken and use the sauces as dressing. One dress is lime, and other is more herbal, both are the most delicious Thai style sauce you can find in NYC! Highly recommend!“

“Overall, good value and we’d definitely try again.“

“Fresh and delicious. We loved the starters and the Beef main. Fun place.“

“This is a 2nd floor Japanese-Thai speakeasy in Alphabet City where the food menu leans toward Japan while the drinks are Thai-inspired with the menu designed by veteran NYC bartender and Phetchaboon native Sayparn. Her and her partners opened 11 Tigers in 2022 (year of the tiger which symbolizes success). The staff do an excellent job of mixing food and entertainment.“

“Pickleball got cancelled thanks to the rain, so we pivoted to Koo Thai and have no regrets.

After an indecisive debate between Thai, Mediterranean, and Indian food, Thai was the winner. The basil fried rice and Panang curry were comforting and the colors were beautiful. The restaurant is a sweet little space and a rainy-night win.“

“Loved it so much, my first time here for lunch. great service from Kelly and Kay 👌👍🙏 will definitely be back ‼️😋😛“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“Nice chill atmosphere serving Khao Mun Gai, steamed or fried. Classic style with soup on the side. Super nice staff who know the cuisine. Fast service.“

“omg first time here the food was fabulous 😍 I highly recommend 👌 service was great 👍“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“
