I know new York has a lot of good Thai food but I absolutely loved wayla. The cocktails were remarkable with great aromatics and the impeccable presentation. We had sway wayla, old fashioned and land of smiles. I got a slice of ginger clipped to my glass with a cute miniature clothes pin!
We were food hopping so we got a couple of small plates to share and the food was amazing. We had the Karipup Gai which was a mildly spicy, golden and flaky chicken curry puff. We also got the the poh pia puh, an elevated spring roll with crab and truffle that was crispy and delicious.
The server was very friendly. I will definitely come back here.

We had such a great time at Wayla. We sat at the bar and James helped us pick some great dishes, along with giving us recs on the cocktails. The food here is so flavorful & gorgeously presented, as are the cocktails and wine list, and I already can't wait to come back. Sitting at the bar, it was great to learn about the cocktails and unique ingredients from James. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here, and I'm looking forward to being back to taste and sip more off the menu. Thanks James and the entire staff who made it a great night!

Solid homestyle Thai in the LES basement spot—Wayla delivers on bold, authentic flavors without being overly fancy. Got the Sen Chen Lobster (pad thai-style with tender lobster—rich and garlicky) and the lump crab fried rice (loaded with crab, perfectly seasoned). The See Krong Moo Yang ribs were smoky and tender too. Food hits the spot, though portions lean smaller for the price. Service was friendly and quick, but it got a bit chaotic when busy. Atmosphere is cozy and dimly lit with a chill, intimate vibe—great for a casual date or small group, but can feel cramped. Worth it for the Thai comfort food fix. I'd go back!

One of my favorite restaurants in nyc. Especially love their appetizers (chicken wings have amazing flavor, calamari is light and crispy and they fill the plate!) drinks are great, and bartender/ overall service is wonderful. This is a spot I’ll continue to frequent.

Went tonight for Restaurant Week. Shrimp donut holes were very good. My main course not so much, lobster with glass noodles. They gave me an empty head of the lobster as a prop with 2 extremely small claws. Should have known not to order lobster during restaurant week.
Nice Thai food in Time out market, delicious and they cook fresh. I got pad thai served with spring rolls.. so yummy. My friend got drunken noodles, he said good as well. Thai milk tea was soo gooddd 😍. Love it!! Staff provided good service and helpful. Recommend.

I’ve been here 5 times and they deliver good food consistently. I do want to say they had a spicy shrimp dish which was one of my favorites which has been removed from the menu :(

I came here with family and friends, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Both the staff and the manager were very friendly and welcoming.
I especially loved the chicken wings—they were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Paired with their cocktails, it was a perfect combination!
The lobster Pad Thai was excellent and truly made me feel like I was in Thailand, while the crab fried rice was light, fresh, and full of seafood flavor.
If you enjoy durian, you absolutely must try their durian sticky rice for dessert. The durian is incredibly fragrant, rich, and sweet—it really makes you want more. The mango pudding is also delicious!
This is definitely a restaurant I would happily visit again with family and friends.

Wow this is a great vibe and good Music and great Cuisine with authentic Thai that reminds me of Thailand and the flavors like the Yum Nua Yang - BBQ Beef salad and the pla Muk Tod Fried Calamari and pad Prik Khing string Beans and Kanang Pad Krapow - Brussel Sprouts and Crab Fried Rice.
Great service, eating outside was very nice and the patio is pretty.
