Authentic Thai food restaurant. Spicy as it should be for Thai food. You can choose your spicy. Owner are professional Thai chef. Taste are so good. Seating area are cozy. Reservation is recommended. Spicy duck salad is good too.
Paid a visit about a week or so ago for lunch and my friend were in for a treat. Everything was delicious...think we were still talking about it days later. Oh we'll be back soon. ???
High quality food, unique cocktails, chill and quiet ambiance, top notch service. What else do you need from a good restaurant?
Vegetarian options: You can replace meat with vegetables
Galanga is a staple and probably one of the oldest Thai eateries in Greenwich Village, enjoying regular followers throughout the years. The ambiance is friendly and casual, making it ideal for impromptu dinners or nights out.It was a bit early for dinner when we arrived, and we had no problem choosing a table for two by the window.We started our dinner with a cold bottle of Singha beer and the golden calamari. The dish was on point (as we always order this wherever we can). It was crispy and juicy, served with a chili sauce. Next, I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimps. The soup was spicy to my liking, but a little bit on the salty side.For the main entree, I selected the spicy basil crispy pork belly and the drunken noodle with chicken. The scent of basil on the pork dish was mouth-watering. It had a bit of spice, but it wasn't too challenging. The pork crackling was crispy, but once again, I found it a bit salty for my palate. Meanwhile, my partner enjoyed his delicious drunken noodles.Overall, I found the service efficient and friendly, and the dishes were freshly made. However, a couple of dishes were on the salty side. For my future visit, I will probably give the chef a heads-up to take it easy on the salt.
The meal amount is reasonable with the price and the taste is nice.
Thai beef rice is pretty good, although it's a little bit salty. Cheap and delicious.The curry noodle is normal.
Pro: This place has more room for large party and good service.Con: I'm not crazy about taste of food at all.I heard the name and taste of food of this place for long time but never have chance to try their food. After meeting, one of my groups decided to go to this place because its closest Thai restaurant nearby. I didn't want to say anything to spoil they hope so I just follow them. After my food came it was exactly what I think, LOLMy suggestion, if you know how Thai food supposed to taste you won't like the food here.
Great place for Thai food. Would recommend trying the Galangal Crispy chicken, Pad Thai with Shrimp and Crispy Pork Belly with Chinese Broccoli. The food is tasty and the price is quite reasonable for what you get. The service is speedy and the staff is quite attentive. I'd consider going here again to try their other dishes.
Other than the food, the meal was fine.The chicken in the Pad Thai was tough and stringy. The rest of the dish was goopy.
I experienced a new taste of soup by ordering coconut soup. Their menu many Thai options and everything taste fresh and delicious. They are very respectful to the costumers. I also like the location of the restaurant in the west village close to metro. I definitely want to go there. Look at this cute to go box that they have ?

We just poped into this thai place and had fried rice and phathai. They were pretty good but I felt the portion was quite small for me. Maybe becasue we were very hungry or food was so good. Overall, I pretty much enjoyed it.
We popped in after a busy day of visiting New York. We got garlic friend rice which was amazing. Dumpling appetizers were amazing. Crying tiger was amazing too! Thanks to all the helpful staff
The food was AMAZING to say the least. So good in fact that we didn't even get a chance to take pictures of the plating! We each ordered appetizers and main course. Arrived about 30 minutes before closing and were still tended to with much patience and kindness. 5 meals and tip under $200!! Great way to end a night, bellies full and great service!
I absolutely loved it. The food was sooo good! And really good portion size and reasonable price. We were in rush to catch a show and the people at this restaurant served us really fast. Special thank you to Titi for making our experience so great.
The definition of a hole in the wall.I often walked by Galanga and the place intrigued me. It’s a very simple unassuming kind of brownish low lights. I had to try it ?I had Green Curry. My usual test dish. The dish was good. Definitely hot enough. Well balanced. Not to hot not to sweet. I missed the Thai eggplant ? in it but otherwise it was great.Service was good. Prices great and they do accept credit cards now.
