“Absolutely love the food, service and ambience of lumlum. Had the best time on a weeknight enjoying the crying tiger and fried branzino. You must order the river prawn it was beyond words and the taro ice cream was a perfect conclusion to a hearty and satisfying meal. The service was attentive and we are definitely coming back as a regular!“

“This is my favorite Thai spot in the city!

I went there a couple of times and tried a lot of different dishes, they all exceeded expectations.

My favorite dishes are the green curry and the pad thai, they also have a delicious Thai ice tea slush.“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“One of my favorite places to eat at in EV. I usually order a bunch of different things (can't go wrong) and I like that you can specify how spicy you want different dishes. The lemongrass martini is a must. Definitely recommend making a reservation so you can get in right away. The food is fairly inexpensive with substantial portions.“

“Great cocktails , dark , adult vibe , friendly staff , tasty food large portions !“

“The menu is the most delicious and authentic of Thai menus out there. I mean the sausages are all HOMEMADE! The best food by the best chef, Chuck. He is already a famous private chef and now you will be spoiled any day of the week! Just go and see for yourself or get delivery!“

“The attention was excellent, we arrived a little earlier and they were kind enough to sit us without waiting long. Food was very good (the duck salad was delicious) our waiter jay made sure we had a good experience. Can’t wait to be back to try more from that menu.“

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

“Obviously we like thaï food as this is the the 3rd place in 3 weeks
Here the food is different not the usual curry dish or sate and oh soooo good.
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.“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“An authentic Thai restaurant where you can adjust the flavors to your liking. We ordered roasted pork, Som Tum, and Tom Yum—the food was delicious, and prices were reasonable. The service and atmosphere were both pleasant. Recently reopened after a brief closure, it’s definitely worth a try!“

“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!!!“

“Very good Thai food! I had the duck with pineapple and lychee and loved it. It wasn't too sweet and also a bit spicy, so just the right balance! It's very good value for money, too. Would recommend to go here if you're in the area and looking for some delicious Thai food ?“

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

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

“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.“

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

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“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.“

“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!“

“Was so glad to see they're back. Always a great experience.“

“?CASH ONLY!!! (They did not tell me that when I sat down.)
I learned about this place from a Korean woman. Knowing that Koreans take their food seriously, I took her recommendation seriously. Extensive menu of Thai and Japanese dishes. I tried the Pumpkin soup and Japanese Ginger Fried Chicken. The food was tasty. I look forward to going back to try more dishes. CASH ONLY!!!?“

“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.“

“Great authentic Thai place with some harder to find dishes. The food was amazing and the portions were large for an amazing price. Staff were friendly and quick and the service was friendly. As far as sit-down restaurants go this might be the best value/quality per dollar place I have eat in NYC. Highly recommended.“

“I am Dutch, so I have been spoiled with a lot of good Indonesian food back home. This restaurant is authentic, very good food. I recommend the place. The bathrooms are dirty though. Those should be cleaned many times a day ( don’t you know?)“

“I like it a lot. Mos def was playing so I was vibing while I waited for my friends. Food was yummy especially the donuts! Pork was hard to chew like I thought a filling may come out The plates were really small and kept forgetting serving spoons. Not a big deal. I’d go back“

“I can’t believe I slept on this place.

Best food and service hands down. I would say even better than a lot of places in SE Asia.

I wish I had more photos but seriously, we woofed it down as fast as it came.

Service was spectacular.

This place deserves a Michelin star and more.“

“We went to Thai villa on the recommendation of a friend. The decor was different and nice. Staff was courteous and responsive. We ordered Pad thai, fried rice, thai green curry with Jasmine rice and some vegetables followed by dessert. The food was delicious“

“After a day trip we quickly picked up food here. Super tasty and it was ready very quickly.
The meat was wonderfully tender and the dumplings were generously filled.
Had a nice chat with the host while waiting. Definitely recommended!“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“Ordered the number 2 fried chicken and the spring roll. The fried chicken was super crispy in the outside and tender in the inside. I think the batter they use for the skin had those crispy cereals to make it crispy. Added the red sauce on top and it was a cherry on top. The broth was also very flavorful and delicious. Great way to wash down the meal. The spring roll was ok. I don’t really like fried spring roll but we ordered to try it. I think dipped with the sauce is good but personally it was eh for me. However my bf did like it so I was say it’s decent. The order came super fast and nice customer service. Would definitely come back again.“

“The food was delicious!!!! A friend told me that it would be very spicy, but I didn’t find it to be so. (Definitely had a zip to it but not too extreme) Service was attentive and pleasant. The only downside was the seating. The chairs were more like elementary school short stools. Quite uncomfortable, but I’d definitely go back just for the food!“

“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!!!“

“Churos Thai has a nice vibe whether for lunch or happy hour drinks after work. The ambiance, decor, and soft pop jazz give the place a hip feel. They have a full top shelf bar. The food was delicious. I had the lunch special spring roll, spicy basil fried rice with shrimp and thai iced tea, it was alllll goood!

Vegetarian options: The regular food was good. I assume the same for the vegan options (I did not try the vegan menu)

Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp to enter the restaurant and enough room to be seated at a table.“

“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!“

“Came in for lunch. Condensed menu with all the classics on the entree side as well as the apps.

Pad Kee Mao: very fresh and hot! Got it spicy and it was well balanced, not too spicy. Only drawback is that there was mushrooms in the dish. I’ve never had mushrooms in this meal. Felt out of place, especially since I don’t like mushrooms

Thai iced tea: classic, nice, sweet

Looks like they are undergoing some renovations but the place is pretty large with a cool kitchen right in the middle“

“I’ve been coming here since they were in the Mott Street food court. I visited during their grand opening when it was almost empty, and my go-to dish has always been the grilled chicken with ginger rice—delicious and a great value for the price.
On my recent visit during the afternoon lunch hour, the place was super packed. Another change is that they’ve closed the restroom for customers“

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

“Incredible food authentic Thai food tastes using the best ingredients to achieve the taste of Thai food. Had the Som Tom salad with beautiful balanced flavours and perfect heat. The Tom yum soup was lost for words every spoonful was heavenly in my mouth, exceptionally made. Crispy chicken with cashews was a great dish a little less sweet the dish would have been even greater. Service was great by our waiting staff. Thank you for your hospitality the owner was very much involved back house and at the front of the house keeping customers informed. A little bit pricey but for food like this all Hollywood stars should know about this place, not in Greenwich or Tribeca but on 2nd Ave. Gem of a place don't miss this 4.9-starred TripAdvisor and top 10 Thai place to eat in New York.“

“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.“

“Delicious Thai food served in a rustic and intimate setting. The stand out dish for me was the Pad Kra Pow Moo Krob (crispy pork basil). I’ve traditionally had this dish with Chinese broccoli, but having it cooked in the delicious basil leaves added that much more flavor! Overall it was a great experience and I’ll be back!“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“I was completely amazed and left in awe when visiting 7 elephants. Not only was customer service amazing, the food was phenomenal beyond my imagination ! I got a platter, and the chicken was so juicy and delicious !! I will definitely be visiting again

Vegetarian options: Rice , veggies“

“Delicious food and drinks! Beautiful setting for a leisurely meal.“
