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

“Would recommend! Great experience. Got the fried branzino, pad see ew, Crying Tiger, and a side of sautéed morning glory for a party of 3 people. Was a good amount, had a little bit of leftover but everyone was very full.

Favorite was the branzino! Would also reco getting the side of vegetables as it was a great palate resetter.“

“Not too busy for a weekday lunch. Prices and portions are reasonable. Service is quick and cheerful. Decor is bright and uniquely Thai.

Chicken wings - not the best I’ve had but the meat is moist and tender.

Crab fried rice - decent amount of crab meat chunks. Fried rice tastes slightly above average. Not too oily.

Mama more fire - flavors are superb. Has instant noodles in it. Half boiled egg is a great touch.

Thai iced tea - best Thai iced tea in town.“

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

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

Loved the 2 shrimp dishes we ordered, the shrimp cake as appetizer was excellent.
Our waitress Siri was friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Do try the lychee martini.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“You know where to go when you miss your Asian dish. I went to Wondee Siam after my cruise trip to South America. If you’re Thai, they have special menu that definitely eliminate your homesick immediately.

I ordered Kangsom which is simply the red curry soup with fish paste. Kangsom’s soup is light (not creamy) but packed with very tiny pieces of fish. The taste is pretty similar to kimchi soup. Hot, sour and spicy. They served Kangsom with shrimps and Thai fried omelette. Went so well with white Jasmine rice. If you like Kimchi soup or Kimchi Jjigae, you will love this dish!

The staff is super friendly. They told me they had Thai milk tea as well. How can I miss it! I ordered a to-go and went to sit in the nice area very close to Wondee.“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“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!!!“

“Seriously one of the best Thai restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen. The place is small, but the flavors they offer pack a big punch.

The seafood pad Thai, kangkung, and shrimp eggplant dishes were all the rage. I enjoyed the crispness of the kangkung, the umami from the eggplant, and the tenderness of mussels and squid in their pad Thai. I can’t wait to come back and try some more of their delicious offerings.

The duck curry (I think this was a panang base) and the som tum was so flavorful and was packed with so much decadence. I really appreciated how ThongLor highlighted produce typically found in Thai cuisine, and didn’t skimp out on the bamboo shoot. They also added pineapple in their curry, which isn’t traditional of Thai cuisine but really added some acid to the dish which made it so balanced.

We had a bua loi for dessert and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the best one I’ve had, but it still felt like a warm hug and a nice palate cleanser for the meal. I wish that the bua loi had more of a thicker coconut consistency, and that the taro balls weren’t as stuck together so it was easy to pick up. That being said, it was still a great end to our wonderful meal.

Would I come back again? Absolutely. I highly recommend coming to this place with no more than 4 people. Seating is limited in the space so bring 3 of your closest friends and try everything on the menu.“

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

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

“Amazing food, authentic- and the staff are so attentive and kind!“

“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.“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“This is hands down my favorite Thai place in the neighborhood. The portions are generous and the flavors are authentic. I always get the mango sticky rice for dessert and it never disappoints. Service is quick and everyone is super friendly every time I visit.“

“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 😋“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“I had the steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and it was so juicy and flavorful. The Thai tea was great too. The inside is super cute very homey with cozy, dim lighting. Only downside was the music being a little too loud I had trouble hearing the person across from me. But honestly, I don’t get the bad reviews. Our server was lovely and the food came out in about 20 minutes. I’d definitely come back.

P.S— They only accept American Express & cash

MAKE RESERVATIONS!!“

“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.“

“We had a lot of delicious meals during our recent trip to NYC, but our lunch at Laut was probably the best. Special shoutout to our waitperson, Aoi Toto, she was friendly, attentive and helped make the meal one for the memory books!“

“I always had a delicious lunch special dining experience at this Thai restaurant! Not only their lunch special is affordable, the portion was generous and their service was prompt. The chicken green curry was rich and aromatic, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The pad Thai had a wonderful mix of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors, while the beef with basil sauce was incredibly fragrant and satisfying. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated with a charming, flowery decor that created a warm atmosphere.“

“First time here and definitely will be coming back. Amazing staff and just as amazing food.
Was taken away by the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. One of my main concerns is cleanliness and this restaurant hits all the marks.“

“I love the food, so far every dish I have tried has been excellent, seems like authentic Thai food as they say if many people from that country eats there it is a compliment to its authenticity.
The service from the workers especially Tang she helps me every time and is so courteous, friendly and helpful.
I am disabled and Tang is always attentive and helpful with entering exiting as well as when I order take she brings it out to my car to save me having to get out, all of this is so amazing and rare in a very busy city like New York.
Thank you for always being you. <3“

“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!!!“

“This place is a true gem. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. Cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there’s real passion behind everything here. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

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

“Amazing staff. Amazing Thai Food.“

“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.“

“beautiful ambiance for a date night. took my partner here for his bday. Our waitress Bee was kind, informative and extremely proficient. There wasn’t a moment I had to ask a question before she covered any of my thoughts lol she also sang happy birthday with me. Can’t complain. Will come again simply because of her.“

“I’ve been to many Thai restaurants around the world 🌍 , in New York 🗽and also in Bangkok 🇹🇭 and the KHAO MAN GAI , the classic poached chicken is a very much a THAI dish as Singaporean 🇸🇬 dish as it comes from the East. There are many street food places in Bangkok 🇹🇭that specialize in KHAO MAN GAI and its considered a traditional Thai 🇹🇭 food. To find an excellent poached chicken in Bangkok 🇹🇭it’s a mission so to find one , in the east village is a beautiful and tasty surprise. I had the KHAO MAN GAI - poached chicken 🍗 and the Gai Yang- grilled chicken 🍗. The chicken was tender and juicy , was cooked perfectly and it’s the same for the grilled and the poached, the sauce was spicy 🌶️ and reminded me the streets of Bangkok 🇹🇭the rice and the soup as well were rich, perfect balanced and delicious. The restaurant stands tall on delivering the promise of her name. Authentic Thai 🇹🇭 food. The place is small and warm , simple , the staff is welcoming and friendly, and the reasonable price ( 18$ for the set ) makes it A MUST in New York today. Come as you are and fast 🇹🇭🇹🇭“

“Tastes like real thai street food in Bangkok. Really recommend the shrimp donuts and the moodeng mookrob on rice. The tomyum mama is also a signature thai street food you should try. Their drinks are really creative and not too sweet — we really liked the pandan one“

“We always order take out from here but decided to dine in and so happy we did! We sat in the back patio which is covered and had live music. Very nice ambiance.

Food was very delicious as always. A little spicy but the right amount even for those who like mild.

Mind ohm fah was our wonderful server. Very attentive and gave good recommendations.

Can’t wait to come 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!“

“Fabulous!!!!!! A must place to go“

“Hello, this is my first time trying Thai food. Excellent service and AAAA+++++“

“Small place delivers a big tasting experience. Delicious drunken noodles in a perfect sauce with plenty of vegetables. I had shrimp and also ordered fried gyoza and a their house-recipe Thai tea that had an appropriate amount of sweetness and flavor balance. Very nice staff and quickly cooked to my table.“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“
