Very cute spot for a date night with delicious dishes to match. Super authentic Thai menu, the dishes feel home made. The Spicy volcano noodles with braised beef is unbelievable and a must try dish

With the Central Synagogue as a neighbor, this eatery undoubtedly holds its own as a must-visit destination.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! Little Thai Kitchen continues to be a haven for lovers of Thai cuisine. From perfectly cooked prawns to tantalizing shrimp pad Thai and sumptuous Thai chicken curry, every dish is a symphony of flavors dancing on my taste buds.And let's not forget the desserts. The coconut ice cream, chocolate custard, and mango sticky rice are like a culinary love letter, each bite leaving me swooning in gastronomic delight.But what truly sets this place apart is its libations. Whether it's the delicious wine that complements the meal or the refreshing Thai iced tea, ice tea, or chocolate frappe, every sip adds an extra layer of bliss to the dining experience.What's more, the convenience of food delivery only adds to the allure of Little Thai Kitchen.

The summer roll was very good. However, I’m unsure if the decorative leaves are being reused across dishes, which is a bit concerning. The soup wasn’t spicy at all to me, and the quality of the vegetables could be improved — it was mostly stems and quite tough. I wish there were more fresh and tender vegetables included. On a positive note, the service was excellent, and the outdoor space is great — a very nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal.

Delicious Thai food!! Flavorful curry but mango a little too ripe and not enough pieces, and not enough meat. I wish I could’ve had more of that delicious pork. The Pad Se Ew tasty and great portions of mock duck. First time eating at their new location. Very nice new restaurant, and service always on point. Wish I could give it 5 stars but the current can definitely be better :)

I ordered red curry which was delicious but when I asked to pack the leftovers, they put the curry and the rice together in one container like this. Who does that? I’ve honestly never seen any restaurant do this before. It’s like they were trying to save a container or something… not great at all.

I’m a regular customer and usually enjoy the food and service at your restaurant. However, I had a disappointing experience during my most recent visit. I ordered my usual—garlic shrimp with vegetables and rice—but this time, the dish was extremely dry, lacking any sauce or gravy. The shrimp had no flavor and the vegetables were bland. However, not everything was bad the shrimp rolls, was great! To make things worse, the drink I ordered was terrible—nothing like what I’ve had before—and I was still charged for it, despite mentioning it wasn’t good. I was really surprised and let down, especially because I’ve had such great meals here in the past. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because I truly want to continue supporting your business.

My friends and I had a reservation for 5 pm. The doors were closed when we arrived so we had to wait on a line outside the restaurant. After waiting about 20-30 minutes, we eventually saw that the door was slightly open. Even though the restaurant was empty, one waitress was scrolling on her phone when we inquired about whether they were open. No one came outside to inform us that they were ready for dinner service, so if it wasn’t for our asking, there’s no telling how long we would’ve been waiting on the line. The hostess who seated our group was named Cee, as per the name on the receipt. She seated us and took our orders. One of my friends mentioned to a male server who brought out our food that she received the wrong food—she ordered pad see ew but received pad Thai. The gentlemen took the food back with a promise to bring the correct order. Instead of apologizing for the error, Cee came to our table and insisted that my friend actually ordered pad Thai, which was untrue. We were all shocked and my friend said okay to keep the peace. Cee continued to walk by our table throughout the night, failing to ask us how dinner was going despite doing so for other guests. When reviewing our receipt at the end of the night, we noticed that we were charged $6 for lychee iced teas, despite the physical on-site menus displaying $5. Although this may seem like a small difference, we wanted the prices to reflect the advertised price per the menu we ordered from. I informed another waitress of the error, who eventually came back with an updated receipt. We paid for the dinner in full with cash, intending to give the second waitress and the male server cash tips for their kindness. However, after taking the receipt, the waitress went to speak to Cee at the bar. The waitress returned and stated that we only paid for the food and were expected to tip. We explained that we were planning to tip her, but due to her demanding a tip and the overall negative dining experience, we no longer intended to do so. The waitress again informed Cee, who came to our table and loudly demanded that my friends and I give her a tip. She spoke over us, cut me off, and told us to get out. On our way out, she gave us hostile looks and repeatedly told us to get out, slamming the door behind us. As per older Google and Yelp reviews, it appears that LTK is known for berating customers and demanding tips. This was such a disappointing experience, considering the food was quite good. However, customer service should always be at the forefront. I will not be returning to this restaurant and am highly dissatisfied by this experience.

The food was really good which is why it was unfortunate that the experience was ruined by unprofessional and rude behavior. My friends and I made dinner reservations for 5pm. When we arrived at 5, the doors were locked so we joined the queue outside. We ended up waiting in line for 20-30min before one of us decided to check at the front to see if anything was wrong, only to discover that the restaurant doors had been opened and the hostess/server was on her phone. No one bothered to come out to make sure people were aware that they were now ready for the dinner shift. Deciding to overlook this, my friends and I followed our hostess/server to our table and placed our orders. I ordered the Chicken Pad See-Ew even pointing it out on the menu to make sure she understood my order even if I butchered the pronunciation. After a few minutes, our orders came out and as the male server placed them on the table, he said the name of the dishes. The dish I got was Chicken Pad Thai, something I didn’t order and had been hoping to prevent this exact misunderstanding by pointing at the Pad See-Ew. After politely letting him know I had originally ordered a different item, he apologized for the mistake, I told him it was totally fine, and he took the Pad Thai back to the kitchen. What I had thought was a closed matter was reopened when our hostess/server came back and starting telling me that I definitely said Pad Thai. I was shocked because I thought she was going to apologize for the misunderstanding but instead she doubled down and blamed me for the mistake insisting I acknowledge something I didn’t actually say. Afterwards the dinner had a weird vibe, my friends noticed that our server stopped coming by the table to check on us and only came by to serve us water once. At the end of the night (only an hour later), we decided to pay the bill total in cash and not give tip to our server (Cee - the name on the receipt) because she had been rude but we thought the other wait staff deserved something for their respectful behavior. Intending to give the second waitress her tip at the door as we left, we started to pack up our things only for the polite waitress to come back to us and let us know that we hadn’t given a tip. My friend told her that a tip was suggested and based off good service which we did not receive from the moment our reservation was suppose to start. She said “oh okay” and then clearly looked toward the front of the restaurant where our original server was as she left our table. Deciding that this had been an extremely weird night and we should just leave with no one getting a tip, our original server comes back to our table and starts yelling about why we didn’t give her a tip, what was so bad about her service, and how it’s NYC culture to tip and she couldn’t believe we didn’t even give her a 10% or 15% tip. As if all this behavior didn’t prove why she was not getting a tip, my friends very politely tried to de-escalate the situation only for them to be cut off and immediately dismissed once “Cee” didn’t like what they were saying. After she stormed off, we continued to pack up our things and as we left the restaurant, one of my friends told her to “do better” and that made Cee go off again and tell us to get out and that she doesn’t care - which was clearly shown by her disinterested behavior from the beginning of the night and is a terrible quality to have in a customer service job. I hope the management of this restaurant can care more than their employees to fix this server’s attitude problem and make sure they don’t lose more customers as this seems to be a recurring problem based off another Google review from earlier in the week. ⭐️/5 - only because the food deserves a shout out.

I had an extremely rude encounter with the hostess Cee (name stated on the receipt). She had short hair in a half up, half down style. From the moment my three friends and I arrived at the restaurant, she was disinterested and on her phone. When my friends and I ordered, Cee got one of the items wrong. We had ordered Chicken Pad See Ew but received Chicken Pad Thai so we informed the male server who brought our food and he apologized and changed the order for us. Immediately after he went into the kitchen though, Cee came to our table and began yelling, stating that she didn’t get the order wrong. We tried explaining that she did but she didn’t care and continued to yell, trying to gaslight us and intimidate us to say that we ordered the Pad Thai when we in fact did not. Before we could say anything else, she said but don’t worry the order will be corrected. We were put off by that because the male server already solved the situation so her extra commentary did nothing to help. An apology would have put everything to rest. She visited our table once after the fact to refill water but catered to the other tables at the restaurant multiple times, and spent the remaining time at the bar. Another server, who had longer hair, came to check on us briefly and was polite so we wanted to put Cee’s rude behavior behind us. When it was time to pay, we noticed that we had an up charge on some of the drinks we ordered so the server with long hair assisted and gave us the corrected bill. Because Cee was so rude, but the server with long hair and male server weren’t, we were going to give them a tip separately. The server with longer hair came back to us stating that we didn’t include a tip and we explained that we were planning to give a separate tip to her and the male server (in cash which was our payment method), and not Cee. She was still trying to force us to give a tip stating that in NY, tips are required so at that point we decided to not tip at all because tips aren’t required and we didn’t want to reward Cee for her disrespectful and unprofessional behavior. Once the server informed Cee of what happened, as we’re packing our stuff to leave, Cee comes behind us and starts yelling again saying that we’re required to tip and that in NYC, that’s the law. It is in fact not the law. Tips are experience based and our terrible experience with Cee warranted a 0% tip. We were asking her to lower her voice because she was still yelling and other people in the restaurant were looking but she didn’t care. She stated that the noise in the restaurant was loud which wasn’t true because the other server spoke to us at a normal volume. As we’re trying to let Cee know why she wasn’t going to get a tip from us, she yelled and said I don’t even care, you all need to get out. We were already leaving so what she was doing was unnecessary. Cee went back to the bar and as we were leaving, she looks at us with disgust as if we did something to her. You can’t treat people rudely and still want to receive a tip. One of my friends stated that Cee needs to do better and not treat people the way she did and Cee starts screaming at us, stating she doesn’t care and doesn’t want to hear what we have to say. She even slammed the door behind us, again acting as if we wronged her. Whoever manages this restaurant needs to put her, and any other staff member who acts similarly, in customer service training again or remove her/them from the establishment because no customer wants to be disrespected, insulted or yelled at for something they’re not at fault for.

While the food was great the service was horrible. We went as a group of 4, but the hostess/server Cee (as per the name on the receipt) made the experience awful and I would never go back or recommend this place because of her. I'll continue to refer to her as Cee, but in case that's not her name, she had short dark hair, half up half down, upturned nose and spent most of the night in the bar area. Cee sat us down and took our orders and returned to the bar area. When the waiter brought out our food, one of the orders was wrong and my friend informed him. She ordered Pad See-Ew, but was given Pad Thai. The waiter was very polite and said he'd bring out a new one. Shortly after Cee came over very combative and said that we ordered the wrong thing and was adamant that it wasn't her mistake. My friend tried to explain that she did in fact order the See-Ew and even pointed to it on the menu when the order was being taken. Cee kept cutting her off, so she stopped talking. The rest of us also tried to explain, but she was rude and continued to insist that my friend was in the wrong, but that they were going to bring the correct plate despite that. Cee returned to the bar and we decided to brush it off because the other staffers were very nice. Another server (long, brownish hair) came over and we ordered 4 more drinks (lemonade/thai ice teas) in addition to the lychee ice teas we previously had. She was very nice and brough out the drinks promptly. When the food came out, everything tasted great and we had no issues, however we did notice that Cee kept walking by and giving us looks. Upon receiving the bill, we noticed they had charged us $6 for the lychee iced teas even though it was listed as $5 on the menu. Again the server was very nice and went back to the bar area (where Cee was located) to correct it. Due to the experience we decided we'd pay the bill exact in cash and personally give the tip to the server and waiter. She spoke to Cee and came back with both the bill and cash. At first we thought we overpayed, but she stated "the tip is not included", which we acknowledged we didn't add. She said usually tips are given. We pointed out that tips were suggested and not a requirement and that we were in fact going to give it to her and the waiter, but now felt it shouldn't be given due to the experience. She went back to the bar area and then Cee came over very rudely and started yelling that it's the culture to tip, it's a requirement in New York state, we should give money, etc. It's actually not a law, and tips are typically given based on the experience you have. When I told her she was yelling, she got even louder and said that she wasn't, it was because the restaurant was loud. The rest of us were talking calmly and were able to hear eachother perfectly fine. We proceeded to explain that we weren't going to tip because of HER rude behavior. Boy did that set her off!!! She didn't want to hear anything else we said and continued to argue, grabbing the attention of other patreons. She told us to get out and walked back to the bar. The bill had been paid and we were already getting our things to leave, so it was very unnecessary and embarrassing. It made it seem as if we were in the wrong. Why are you expecting someone to tip, when you've been nothing but rude and disrespectful? Then when you don't get what you want, you continue to display that rude and obnoxious behavior, therefore proving why you didn't deserve the tip in the first place. On our way out my other friend told her to do better and it set her off again. She came out from behind the bar and said she didn't care and didn't want to hear anything else we had to say, then proceeded to slam the door behind us. Based on some other reviews (see below), this tip thing seems to be a recurring problem. I'm honestly glad we paid in cash. Had it been a card, she might still try to charge us, as evidence by another review.

I was really shocked by my experience. When I was about to pay, the girl at the bar told me the price was €15. She turned the tablet toward me as if I were supposed to choose whether to add a tip or not. However, before I could clearly see or understand what was selected, she turned the tablet back toward herself, changed something on the screen, and then processed the payment. I later realized that a tip had been added without my knowledge or consent, bringing the total to €18. When I realized what had happened, I went back to the restaurant to address the issue. Unfortunately, the same bartender completely denied everything and refused to acknowledge what had been done. I want to be clear that the rest of the staff had nothing to do with this situation. However, tipping should always be optional and clearly explained, especially for customers who may not be familiar with local customs. This practice felt dishonest and unprofessional, and it really affected my experience.

While I have not been to its physical restaurant (only ordered online through a platform), I’m not here to critic their service and restaurant’s atmosphere. I’m here for their food quality. Just when I thought there’s nothing worse than one other Thai restaurant near me, this one is the worst of all. I have one specific instruction that was never followed (that’s fine, it’d have saved them ingredients), but their chicken dumplings were the worst part. It tasted chemically treated, I could not figure if it’s the dough that feels so thick or the meat that doesn’t taste like chicken at all. It’s a big turn off considering it’s my ALT (all time favorite). While for sure, there are more delicious items on their menu, It’s my personal opinion not to consider this restaurant again.
