Opinions de OBAO Central Park South
We came here for lunch and then the vibes are very good. Service is super fast and all the food was delicious. We had the two-course restaurant week menu with the chicken satay and the soft shell crab; both are very delicious. What amazed us was the delicious foam short ribs. We even added one bowl of broth because they are so fresh and delicious. Definitely come back. Also the greetings from the manager Williams was very nice. Highly recommend.
We discovered this Thai and Vietnamese gem while searching for lunch spots on our last day in NYC. The location is incredibly convenient to the subway, and the interior is both cozy and welcoming. We ordered the Thai Drunken Noodles, Vietnamese Pork Chop with Rice, and Steamed Dumplings. Every dish arrived quickly and was packed with flavor. A special shoutout to our waitress, Jana, who was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Definitely worth a visit to OBAO!
Fantastic spot. Some of the best Pad See Ew west of the Atlantic Ocean. Service is always friendly and fast, and the lunch special is perfect when you need something quick without sacrificing quality. Great value overall, and dinner is just as reliable. East 53rd Street is a great stretch for restaurants, and OBAO Noodles & BBQ continues to deliver.
The staff was so helpful and sweet! The food was amazing! So much flavor and the portions were perfect! I will definitely be coming back! I got the OBAO bun platter! It all all these proteins and veggies! I was told to wrap everything in the lettuce and it was amazing!
Enjoy coming here once in a while when I want good Thai food. Their main entree are delicious but can’t go wrong with their noodles or rice dishes either. I would say one of my highly rated Thai places in this Midtown East area. Some of the sauces good be a bit thick with soy sauce and heavy but gotta try the dishes at least once and find your favorite! The pork chops are highly recommended by me! They have good weekly lunch specials too. One downside are the tables near the window could get pretty cold (the restaurant didn’t seem to have the best heating system) so make sure you’re bundle up if you visit during the cold days!
Service was very friendly and nice. We all ordered different dishes that were full of flavor and the portion size was so good! Would definitely come back on my NYC trip!
Food is amazing full of flavor. Three shrimps in green salad, Soft shell crab curry seafood and Pho Bo are wonderful and the sauce is heavenly. Dined early in the day so it wasn’t busy so our waiter (Rose) was great and helped with awesome recommendations. Stop in and enjoy ❤️💕
One year later and we’re back again for lunar new year! Such an incredible experience dining here as always :) amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. So happy to be back and will be back again soon!
the mushroom taco is super GOOOOOD we love it, JJ is super friendly and helpful. atmosphere is cute too. thank you for the great food and service:)
Everything was soooo good and the staff were so delightful and friendly. Standout dishes were the crispy pork appetizer where you build a little lettuce wrap and the pad see ew. Insanely good flavours. They also play amazing music and the design is so cute and intimate. I like sitting in the back room. Would love to come back here. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Food was delicious, had great variety, and was good for the price point. The service was very attentive and efficient, and the food was brought out quite quickly. The vibe is appreciated and the decor is nice, but the music is a bit loud. Overall, a great experience, and would come back! (would especially recommend the kimchi fries - 10/10)
I had a great experience at Oboa Midtown. They offer excellent seating, including a long table perfect for large groups and a cozy table for four in the back. The food selection is impressive, and the Vietnamese pork chops with jasmine rice were delicious. My server was attentive and courteous throughout the meal. I highly recommend this spot—especially for group dining. Be sure to RSVP if coming with a large party!
Was brought here by a friend and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food and the drinks were. We made it in time for happy hour, and were not disappointed w the specialty drinks ( I personally loved the mojito!). The service and the staff was amazing, they were so attentive and kept checking in to make sure everything was good. They even gave us complementary.
The most perfect restaurant in New York! The tables are nicely spaced out, so you have plenty of privacy, and the staff are incredibly kind. I asked them to make the food a bit spicy, and they adjusted it perfectly. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. Make sure to order the calamari and stir-fried noodles — both are amazing! And don’t ask them to take away the calamari plate when you’re done — use the sauce to dip your other dishes. Highly recommend!
This restaurant is absolutely amazing — every dish here is delicious, and the ingredients are always fresh. The chef is incredibly talented and knows how to bring out the best flavors in every meal. I’ve been here many times, and it never disappoints. Definitely my favorite restaurant in New York!
Food is great here! They serve Thai and Vietnamese fusion food and we tried a few dishes on both sides. My family said the food is incredible and would like to come back! It's better to make reservations as the spots filled up quickly. We ordered Thai tea and virgin cocktail. The cocktail wasn't sweet and it can be done differently. Overall, we love this place and would come back again.
This Thai restaurant has a cozy elegant design simple but still luxurious, making it perfect for any occasion. Today I sat at the bar just for some drinks and ordered two appetizers. The first was Three Shrimp in the Garden with a tangy and spicy dressing that instantly reminded me of Thailand. The second was Spare Ribs with a rich tamarind sauce that was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone the prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is lovely, and the servers are so warm and friendly.
I really love Thai food – from curries to pad thai and pad see ew, I’ve had them in so many different restaurants across California. But I have to say, the pad thai here definitely makes it into my top 3 ever. The noodles are perfectly cooked – chewy and not mushy, holding their shape without being greasy. The balance of flavors is just right. Another dish I’d highly recommend is the short rib massaman curry. The beef is so tender and slow-cooked until it just falls apart, and the curry sauce adds layers of rich, comforting flavor. It’s one of those dishes you just can’t stop eating. On top of that, I want to give a special shout-out to our waiter Rose. He was so patient in explaining the menu, giving us great recommendations on both food and drinks. The drinks he suggested turned out amazing, and overall he made the whole dining experience even better. Great food + great service = can’t wait to come back!
My aunt, who’s lived in NYC for over 20 years, said this was the best Thai food she’s ever had here—and I couldn’t agree more! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and served with such warmth. The papaya salad and Vietnamese mango salad were fresh and absolutely delicious. For mains, we had the pad thai, pad see ew, and drunken noodles—each one was perfect!! To top it off, our kind and attentive server recommended the mango sticky rice, and it was the perfect sweet finish to an unforgettable meal. Can’t wait to come back! A huge thank you to the entire staff for the amazing food and incredibly kind service.
My favorite place in New York for Viet-Thai fusion food! Everything we ordered today is sooo good! Service was also top notch. There was a bit of confusion with one of our orders but they went above and beyond to fix it. Absolutely recommended! Pim took care of us and she is very nice and accommodating. Will always be back! If there’s one improvement needed it will be their iced coffee. But that’s not in the way for giving it 5 stars!

Perfectly fine place for a nicer-than-fast-casual meal, nothing disappointing but nothing outstanding either. Ordered a papaya salad, short rib pho, and crispy pork belly. Pho was the weakest, just your standard box noodles in lukewarm broth. Pork belly was pretty good. Service was ok, the woman who was on our table when we first came in was super nice, then the woman on the next shift barely made her rounds.
A solid dinner spot! I really loved the ambiance of this place: peaceful, cozy, and elegant. The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous, with flowers draping from the ceiling. The service was a bi…
