Food was delicious! And the service is excellent. Kade was our server and she was very accommodating. I’ve been here several times and one of my favorite Thai spots.

The food here at THEP was delicious. We got our meals on the spicy side, and definitely delivered the spice. It was still enjoyable to eat because I’m a big fan of spice. The drinks were absolutely fantastic as well. I would recommend coming here for flavorful Thai food!

I love THEP Thai. I’ve been here so many times and I was last here for my friends birthday dinner. It’s my favorite Thai food on the UES. We were a group of 10+ and we had called to get a reservation earlier in the week for a Friday night and they were able to accommodate. I got a Thai iced tea and the khao soi. I love the food here (have tried most of the menu items). The service was super quick and friendly - we had a nice lady named Four as our host/server. Love this place and will be back!

This restaurant is great, 10/10 spot!! The ambience is very inviting and chic and the food was out of this world. My friend and I shred the fried chicken dumplings with a sweet chili sauce (delicious) and I got the Pad Kee Mao with Beef which has just the perfect kick. Four was our waitress and she was lovely - super attentive and helpful when figuring out what to order! Would totally eat here again!

Excellent dinner at THEP Thai!! Four was an incredible and efficient server. We got the Hoi Jar for our appetizer, Vanilla Almond Black Tea, Lychee Thai Tea, Khao Soi with beef, and Pineapple Fried Rice with shrimp. DELICIOUS and just the right balance of flavors. Will definitely be back!

I ordered the Khao Pad Mun Nua, and it was absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare — tender, juicy, and full of flavor with a beautiful seared crust. The rice complemented the meat perfectly, and the fresh greens added a nice balance. The waiter, Four, took excellent care of me and provided outstanding service. She was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even better.

Lovely Thai restaurant in the UES! Ordered the Pad Kee Mao & it was very flavorful! Cute ambiance and lovely servers. Out server was Mameiw & she catered to our every need. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a good Thai restaurant!

Delicious, comforting Thai food with great attention to detail. The duck curry was a highlight. Crispy duck, rich coconut curry, pineapple, and basil in perfect balance. The rice bowl with a fried egg was simple but deeply satisfying, and the Thai iced tea was smooth and refreshing without being too sweet. Service made the experience even better. Anna was warm, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations, making us feel genuinely welcome. A great spot for an easy, enjoyable meal.

Cozy Thai spot w/ well-balanced flavors not too heavy, not overpowering. Everything tastes smooth, comforting & easy to enjoy. Def a place u can come back to again & again, for a chill wkday dinner or casual catch up. Solid vibes, consistent taste, no overthinking needed 👍🇹🇭

we had a great experience at thep! stopped in for a quick lunch and split the masaman curry and cashew king both with tofu and both were delicious! the thai iced tea was also a highlight. our server Gift was incredibly helpful and pleasant, we would come back here any time!!

Thep Thai truly stands out, not just for its vibrant atmosphere, but for the exceptional quality and flavor depth found across its entire menu, especially in its vegetarian and chicken offerings. For those seeking plant-based dishes, Thep is a revelation. The menu is clearly labeled with excellent vegan options, and the kitchen handles substitutions perfectly. The Vegan Pad See Ew with tofu is arguably the best I’ve ever had—rich, smoky, and perfectly textured. Don't skip the Avocado Massaman Curry (available vegetarian/vegan), which is wonderfully creamy, savory, and loaded with tender sweet potato. The commitment to flavorful, authentic vegan food here is top-tier. On the non-vegetarian side, the chicken dishes are equally impressive. The Chicken Pad Thai is a classic for a reason, hitting that perfect balance of sweet and tangy tamarind flavor. However, the real showstopper is the Chicken Khao Soi (Northern Thai Egg Noodles)—the creamy coconut curry broth is incredibly deep and comforting, and the chicken (often bone-in, which adds to the authenticity) is cooked to perfection. It's an absolute must-try. Whether you're visiting for a comforting chicken classic or looking for sophisticated, flavorful vegan Thai, Thep delivers consistently high quality and is highly recommended. Minnie was awesome to help us with our order. A big thanks to her and entire staff for making our lunch good

To satisfy a night time Thai craving, I decided to try nearby THEP Thai and I was not disappointed! Me and my friends were greeted by the host who asked if we had a reservation but took no time to get my party seated. Our server Mameiw was nice. Once we placed drink orders, they arrived to the table so quickly... I was surprised. Food also came from the kitchen very quickly. Now, we know presentation is everything and THEP Thai nails it with presentation as much as they do flavor. Their Pad Kee Mao competes with my favorite restaurant and had the perfect spice content at medium spice. The Massaman curry and Krapow puffs were so delicious and comforting. I had their seasonal Hot Toddy which was nice and warming. And the Coconut Sorbet dessert was a dense and pleasant palate cleanser. I'm still eating it slowly as I write this review 😊 I appreciated how everything was plated and garnished. And the ambiance and decor was simple, green, dim and homely. This is must visit spot to eat any day of the week. Easily added to my go-to Thai spots in the city! #itsfoodovereverything

Came here on a weekday dinner without a reservation and was able to be seated right away. They have smaller tables for 2 and larger tables for 4+. The vibe is dark, moody, elegant. The service was very good We got a starter (that I'm now forgetting the name of) that was excellent. The shrimp was well cooked and the sauce was great. I also got a cocktail which I thought was good. For mains we got the pad kee mao and massaman curry. Both were great! I personally wish the massaman curry would've been spicier but I like my food spicy. The portion size was decent too - we had some leftovers to take home. Overall I recommend and I'd definitely go back!

We had such a great lunch at THEP! We happened to be in the area and found it on Google and decided to drop in, and I’m so happy we did! It was my boyfriend’s first time eating Thai and he loved it! Everything was wonderful. Our server, Gift, was so helpful with her suggestions, and very fast with the service. I definitely recommend coming here! Great ambiance, delicious food, and great service.

So much to say about this spot. The inside is absolutely gorgeous. We came on a Sunday around 8pm, and while it was busy, it never felt overwhelming. Our server, Mameiw, was attentive and happy to answer all of our questions. Watching the food come out was an experience in itself; such a show! Every dish had its own distinct flavor and was incredibly delicious. I’d gladly travel from Brooklyn by train to come back again. Don’t miss out!

We had lunch at Thep today and it was great! The portions were generous and everything was very tasty. We also tried one of their specialty mocktail and it was delicious. The space feels warm and inviting — we really enjoyed the interior design. It’s a small place, but that just makes it even more charming and authentic. We would definitely love to come back again!

Had a wonderful Lunar New Year dinner at Thep Thai Restaurant in Manhattan! The food was absolutely delicious — the Tom Yum Shrimp Soup was perfectly balanced, the Pineapple Fried Rice was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the Chu Chee Pla Tod was crispy with an amazing curry sauce. We also loved the chive dumplings and Thai iced tea. Great atmosphere, cozy setting, and perfect for group gatherings. Highly recommend!

This is a hidden gem for Thai food! The service was excellent, and the staff kindly introduced their signature dishes to us. The Kaolaonuertoon was our favorite — both my friend and I loved it. The flavor was amazing. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and will come back again!

amazing food omg and i’ve had so much thai food in this city but this was sth else!! we ordered Gaeng Phed Ped Yarng (duck curry) and Khao Pad Mun Nua (exceptional rice) and were so happy with both the portion and flavor. we were there early but they let us in and get us seated fairly quickly. staffs were super sweet (especially Minnie!!) and the space is just gorgeous!! perfect space for all party sizes honestly - they have a big table for party of 15 that looks nice and very spacious.

Thep was absolutely delicious! We got the chicken pad Thai, chicken pad see ew, and spring rolls and all were delicious and I can’t wait to go back. Definitely get a Thai iced tea as well—super tasty and an all time fav. Thank you to our sweet waitress Kade for great service and recommendations! 😋

I came here for a solo dinner on a Monday night and I had the pleasure of being served by Kade. This is my second visit to Thep and the service was just as good as my 1st experience. The food was good and very filling. I love iced tea, but the Thai iced tea might be my new favorite drink. I tried 2 new dishes the crispy chicken dumplings and Khao Pad Pu. I loved both and had leftovers for the next day. This is officially my favorite Thai restaurant in New York.

Harsh Samani

Recently dined at Thep Thai and had a wonderful experience overall. The Massaman curry was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, tasty, and with a quantity generous enough for two people to share comfortably. The chive pancake was another highlight; it was so good that we ended up ordering it twice, though it was a bit softer than expected. The chive dumpling with Massaman curry was decent, but we felt the curry portion was slightly less for four dumplings. Beyond the food, the ambience was warm and welcoming, adding to the enjoyable dining experience.

Servers were very nice and the service was TOP TIER. Our Servers Minnie was an awesome host. She checked in regularly with us and continued to make sure all was well. I would definitely come back here again for a THIRD time. Highly recommend the sticky rice! ;)

Friendly staff. Nice ambience place. Not so spacious between tables. Order food through QR code, no menu book. Food came out pretty quick. They did the to go box for your leftover. Bathroom in the back.

We stopped by Thep Thai without a reservation and waited a bit for an outdoor streetside table, which was fine. Unfortunately, the service fell short, after being seated, we barely saw our server except when the food arrived. The dishes we ordered were just okay: not bad, not great, simply average. I’m honestly surprised by all the five-star reviews, though it’s possible we just didn’t order the right dishes. Either way, it didn’t stand out enough for us to return, especially since it doesn’t compare to our regular favorite Thai spot.
