I love this place. Tasty, large amount, and the lady works here is so nice, she helped us changed bottle water for 3 times. And she is very patient and listened to our requests for take out boxes. We literally couldn’t finish all the food at the end. And we love the food here, gonna do take out for our breakfast tomorrow.

Small place in Midtown but genuinely some of the best Thai food I've ever had! The papaya salad, the fried rice and the massaman curry were really really good! The mango sticky rice was also wonderful! Service was really good, the staff were extremely sweet and we will definitely be going back there next time we catch an afternoon Broadway show!

Stopped in based on Google reviews and was not disappointed. The lunch special was the perfect amount to fill me up for a price that can be beat in Manhattan.

⭐ A Thai Culinary Revelation at Kare Thai
There are restaurants that serve food, and then there are those rare establishments that offer transcendent culinary experiences. Kare Thai firmly belongs in the latter category, providing an authentic journey through the vibrant flavors of Thailand that left this critic utterly captivated.
My evening began with their spicy papaya salad (Som Tum), a dish that exemplifies the perfect balance of Thai cuisine. The crisp, fresh papaya strands were tossed in a dressing that danced between tangy lime, savory fish sauce, and a heat that built gradually with each bite. The textural contrast of crunchy peanuts against the tender papaya created a symphony of sensations that awakened every taste bud.
The spicy drunken noodles (Pad Kee Mao) arrived steaming hot, with wide rice noodles glistening in an aromatic sauce. Each forkful delivered a complex harmony of Thai basil, garlic, and chili that managed to be bold without overwhelming the palate. The proteins were cooked to perfection, tender and infused with the sauce's intoxicating flavors.
To temper the glorious heat of these dishes, a generous jug of Thai iced tea provided sweet relief. The creamy, amber-colored beverage with its distinctive blend of spiced tea and condensed milk complemented the meal beautifully, creating a cooling counterpoint to the spice-forward dishes.
What truly elevates Kare Thai beyond merely excellent food is the genuine hospitality. The host, Kay, guided my culinary journey with remarkable knowledge and attentiveness. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her passion for sharing authentic Thai cuisine was evident in every interaction.
She took time to explain traditional preparation methods and regional variations, adding depth to an already exceptional dining experience.
Before my visit to Kare Thai, I had enjoyed Thai food; now, I am a believer in what authentic Thai cuisine can truly be. The careful attention to balance, the masterful layering of flavors, and the obvious respect for tradition have set a new standard in my culinary expectations.
For anyone seeking an unforgettable Thai dining experience, Kare Thai is not merely recommended—it's essential. Whether you're a Thai cuisine aficionado or a curious newcomer, this gem promises to delight, surprise, and ultimately convert you to the transcendent possibilities of truly authentic Thai food restaurant that has been at this location for 12 years.
Kare Thai food deserves 10 ⭐.
