“Dining at Tha Phraya was a pleasant experience. The ambience of the restaurant and the service was great. The food was delicious with the right amount of spice levels for someone who liked spicy food. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly on a Saturday evening, so reservations are always a good idea. I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal.“

“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.“

“Came to Sappeisan for my brother’s birthday and really enjoyed our experience! Our favorites at the table include the Yum Pu Dong, Pla Rim Khong, and Mama E-la, and the skewers. Service was a 10/10, and Gam really made my brother’s birthday celebration with family feel so special. ☺“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and tasted authentically Thai. The flavors were rich, fresh, and just like the food you would find in Thailand. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and cooked perfectly.

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

“I've been going to thai restaurants in my 14 yrs of NYC and coming to this place was probably more worth it than all of them. My usual which is Pad See Ew was actually more flavorful than usual and definitely recommended for people new to the cuisine. If I could, would give it a 10/5 stars for how delicious it was and would be willing to try more of the menu items.“

“Last night I went out to dinner with my family per recommendation of my brother-in-law Evan who has frequented there various times already.

First off I would like to say that the host was on top of it. Anytime I had a question or doubt, he already had it taken care of it.

The staff were extremely accommodating and reliable and I would to especially shout out our waitress Cara who made us very feel welcomed and really took care of us!!

The food was amazing and enjoyed every bite, the shrimp donuts were a pleasant surprise and would def order again! Thanks for a great experience, looking forward to going back when I'm in town!“

“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.“

“Visited Thai Villa in 2020 while traveling in New York with my parents to visit my younger brother. He was craving Thai food, so we ended up here—and we’re so glad we did! The restaurant was beautiful, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious. We had a wonderful family dinner and really enjoyed our experience here!“

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

“Came here for the chicken skin and the bami giew goong and both did NOT disappoint. Chicken skin was crazy crispy, comes with this sweet-tangy dipping sauce that I could've drank straight. Gone in like 2 minutes.

The egg noodle with shrimp wontons soups on side was so comforting — wontons were packed full, broth was light but flavorful, loaded with cilantro and bok choy. Def the move if you want something warm and filling.

Portions are big, food came out fast and hot. Definitely coming back to try more off the menu 🍜“

“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!!!“

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

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

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

“I had such a great experience at Koo Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, definitely more than enough to satisfy. The service was also excellent — very friendly, attentive, and quick. Overall, everything from the taste to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Thai food with great value and great service.“

“Delicious food and excellent service ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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 😋“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Such a fun spot, especially on a rainy New York afternoon. The restaurant has a really cool, almost whimsical ambience with flowers everywhere, and sitting inside watching the rain outside while eating Thai food was a pretty perfect combination. I had the Pad Thai and my friend had the green curry, and the lunch deal is great value since you can add an appetizer as part of the meal. The food was good, the setting was even better, and I’ve heard the place has music in the evenings too, definitely worth coming back to experience that side of it.“

“Food was great. Had the Basil fried rice and the shrimp pad thai. The thai tea was SO good. The staff was great, also; very attentive to us and our needs making sure everything was good. We especially enjoyed meeting and chatting with Nadia who we wish an amazing transition and school year!
We will be back!
Xoxo“
