This place was ok. Food was not authentic Thai but sort of a pub fusion Thai. Better to come for cocktails and appetizers than a meal. Whoever said this place was amazing must never have been to a restaurant before.

love seeing people enjoying southeast asian food because I grew up with it. It’s what my family cooks and it is my comfort food. I enjoyed everything I ate last night at trivia night.
Tom kha gai creamy coconut chicken soup was super rich and flavorful. It had pieces of chicken breast, slices of shiitake mushrooms and grape tomatoes in it. It was great for an extremely cold evening.
Drunken noodles with duck was a group favorite. Flat, wide rice noodles were cooked till soft and chewy. Flavors of Thai basil and a little kick of heat paired well together. The duck could’ve been cooked to a nice medium. It was a bit over done for me but wasn’t dry. The dipping sauce for the duck was very fish sauce forward. I wish the duck was marinated with flavor so you can eat it with the noodles. I felt like I was eating two different dishes but it was really one dish. Highly recommend the noodle dishes here. The pad see ew is another favorite with the same type of flat, wide rice noodles.
Curry chicken was served with white rice. It had a little bit of vegetables on there but if it was cooked with red or green peppers it would’ve given a better presentation to the dish. Still very flavorful.
Laab tofu was served with lettuce, radishes and cucumbers. We usually eat it with rice at home too but you want the fresh produce to balance the savory, sour and umami flavors. I’ve never had it with tofu but my friend is a vegetarian so it was interesting and flavorful. The toasted sticky rice in the laab truly shines through. I would eat it again.
Fried shrimp with tamarind sauce was so delightful. Shrimps were huge, fried to perfection in a light tempura batter and drizzled with tamarind sweet and sour sauce. It’s also served with lettuce, radishes and white rice. I’d order this again.
Thai hot wings had a tasty sticky siracha sauce on it. It was sweet with a tiny kick to it. Chicken wings were delicious.
The rock sausage is served in a cute little basket over a bed of lettuce and sliced radishes. I would eat this with rice at home. The sausage was juicy and sweet. Very tasty.
Pineapple tofu fried rice had a beautiful presentation served in half of a pineapple. It was tasty and very pretty to look at!
Thai iced tea was sweet, creamy and refreshing. Sangria and lychee mojito was very good. The bar area is beautiful. The restaurant was packed. Atmosphere is beautiful.
I wish all the food came out at the same time so our group of 6 could’ve eaten together. Dishes came out one by one and food got cold. Also, the music could be turned down a tad so we could hear one another at the table.
All in all, I recommend this wonderful restaurant and I’d love to return to try different dishes.
Vegetarian options: All proteins can be replaced with tofu.
Food was okay no wow factor like the reviews, service terrible they offered No water, waited 20 to 30 minutes for the server to come back. We wanted to order drinks another 20min wait for service. At 1:30pm not a full house very disappointed!

Restaurant was dirty and smelled like an old bar. It seems like a place that was once nice but not maintained. Bathroom was filthy. Shrimp baskets cooked in old oil. I will never go back after this first visit.

If you want Thai food, go to the sister restaurant September in Bangkok! I was disappointed by the lack of vegan entrees at Noa, especially since their other place is one of my favorite spots in New Haven.

Cocktail and chicken wings were delicious. The drink was a delicious gin and egg white mix and was made perfectly. The wings were large and crispy with good flavor. The drunken noodles with squid was ok but the squid was overcooked and chewy. The rest of the flavors were solid. Happy Hour is the time to go!!!

Drinks and food.. omg, perfect. Took a star for the laser lights after 10pm. Its kinda blinding and it hits right at your eye especially when you are walking out of the door as its projecting from the direction of the door. I was blinded by the lasers and walked into the glass pane near the door. Hopefully, something can be done about this. Other than that.. the food and drinks are just perfect. Will probably come back again before the DJ and "laser" show .
My recent visit to Noa September in Bangkok left me feeling quite disappointed. Despite its reputation for authentic Thai cuisine, my experience fell far short of expectations.
The food was lackluster, with flavors that were muted and uninspiring. The dishes I tried lacked the depth and complexity I've come to expect from Thai cuisine. The service was also slow and inattentive, further detracting from the overall experience.
If you're seeking a truly authentic Thai dining experience in Bangkok, I would recommend exploring other options. While Noa September may have a reputation, it's clear that the quality of the food and service does not live up to the hype.

Nicer atmosphere than most bar/restaurants in the area. Very informal and very nice for young couples. Trip Advisor has it as #26 in their list of best restaurants in New Haven, but is no Olea Café nor Union League Café, top 6 & 5 respectively. The ambiance is very laid back. But they do have waiters and waitresses (they save the place). They have tables outside as well, by the sidewalk. Remember the food is Thai. So it is all very spicy 🌶 hot. And they do classify the food's spiciness, but need to ask your waiter or waitress about their measurements for how hot you want your meal. The menu is very informal and it doesn't have the typical spicy hot pepper 🌶 icons one finds in spicy restaurants to let you know how hot the food is going to be. We spent $90 between 1 drink, 3 beverages, 2 dishes, 1 entrée, and tip for our waiter. They have a bar 🍸 and I think is better to go to have drinks there than eating, not because the food is bad, but because of the accommodations there. Their space available for seat and chairs is not ideal. Since the entire place is more like a wide hallway. The chairs are very uncomfortable and low. And the water served is ice cold tap water (not filtered water). I guess what makes the place successful is the decoration and the waitresses and waiters. They were very nice. Which is why I gave service 4 stars. The men's bathroom is oqnly good for 2 people, since there's only 1 toilet and 1 urinal that's old school going all the way down to the floor.
Parking: There's a parking building in the area everyone there uses. It charges $4 per hour.
Wheelchair accessibility: The parking building nearby has elevators once you park your vehicle and small and steep ramps, so be careful. Once you go out to the street, NOA is right at sidewalk level and can be accessible with wheelchair ♿️.

The BEST Khao Soi I have had in the US. Rich, creamy, spicy, yet so balanced. The Khao Soi was sheer perfection in a bowl. I did mot expect such good Thai food in a small university town but this changed my mind. Highly recommend!

Can't speak to the restaurant, just talking about the club portion that goes on Friday/Saturday nights - it suffers from the same disease most of the other new haven clubs suffer from. The music is WAY TOO LOUD. I'm not kidding, all of my friends had hearing damage from this weekend. I think the DJ doesn't step onto the floor and test-drive the volume level. The bartenders couldn't hear me or my friends and I couldn't hear anyone. Rumaj and Vanity do this sometimes too. Too bad! We don't plan to come back without earplugs.
