Food is authentic as it could be! Can’t wait to try their other dish in the menu. Good selection of dishes and very friendly staff! Will definitely come back :)

So goooood! Be prepared for real spice and rich, bold flavors. Bright and colorful ambience with both great food and drink menus. Like Thai tea? You’ll love the slushies in cute mugs. Friendly and attentive staff, had a great time at Hungry Thirsty!

We stopped into Hungry Thirsty on a freezing night, and boy did they warm us up! The people are so genuine and welcoming, and the food does not disappoint! It’s some of the most authentic Thai in the city, the chef specials are to die for, and the spice level is real. If you wanna go to Thailand, but not spend the money on the ticket, this is the place for you!!!

Super flavorful food and fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar and got to see them making all the dishes. Dishes run spicy, one flame of spice here might be considered 2-3 elsewhere.

Loved our dinner at Hungry Thirsty. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, loved the pad krapow and moo waan. They aren’t joking about the spice levels they denote, so if you’re sensitive Mae sure you pay attention. They have a really large beer menu, so you have plenty of fun options to choose from to break the heat. The service is fast and super friendly. They seem to change the menu often, looking forward to trying more of their wonderful dishes!

One of the best Thai Restaurants in NYC I have been waiting to visit Hungry Thirsty for a while and it did not disappoint. On this visit I enjoyed the Yum Kai Fu, Panang Curry, Pla Tod Nam Pla, Kang Ped Nuer, and the Cocunut Jelly Dessert. We were a party of two and did not have a reservation. Because of the cold weather and being right after new years we were able to be seated immediately. Definitely book ahead if you can, it gets busy. The favorite of the evening was the Pla Tod Nam Pla which is a whole fried branzino. It is not spicy and is served with a punchy acidic dressing that you add at your leisure. It is one of the best preparations of branzino I have ever experienced. Watch out for bones. There are none in the center but a few along the edges. The Panang beef curry was spectacular as well. It was spicy and sweet with melt in the mouth tender beef. The flavors were so comforting and warm with a richness coming from coconut. The spice was manageable and when eaten with rice it’s a dish any table would thoroughly enjoy. The rice is included! The Kang Pad Nuer is the spiciest dish on the menu and definitely one of the spiciest dishes you can order at a restaurant and still enjoy. The spice is a dry heat that builds as you eat. There is still a complexity of flavor that comes from the herbs used so it is not the kind of bland spice that you might have in a hot sauce. I love spicy food but could not finish this dish, the spice builds to the point you can feel it in your entire body. I sure as hell packed it up to take home though! I enjoyed the flavors but after trying it once I don’t think this is something I will be craving. That is a personal preference. The Yum Kai Fu is a mango salad with a granular chicken. The texture of the chicken threw me off a bit as I have never had such a preparation. It’s almost like breadcrumbs but made from chicken. The mangos are refreshing and the dish comes with a sauce that you apply and mix in. The more sauce you add the spicier it got. We ended up using half of the sauce. If you were to use the entire jug of sauce, it would be VERY spicy so taste it as you mix. Next time, I think I would try a different dish as this one was not super memorable like the others. The meal ended with the coconut jelly dessert, which is served in a real coconut and contains large pieces of coconut flesh in gelatin. It is a light dessert, but it’s perfect for settling your stomach after such spicy food. This is the only dessert they have available and I think it’s perfect. At $20, this is the only thing I thought was overpriced. The service at Hungary thirsty makes you feel like you’re in someone’s home. The servers are very attentive, especially when it comes to refilling your water. They know how spicy the food is and they want you to enjoy it. The ambience is very homey. The decor is simple but makes sense. The lighting is bright and cool toned which would usually bother me, but it’s somehow made perfect sense and I wouldn’t change it. The only note is try to get a table away from the door especially in winter. People coming in will crowd the tables standing around and the door opening made it extremely cold. Hungry, thirsty knows exactly what it is and is not trying to pretend to be a different type of establishment. I will absolutely be coming back.

Omg so goood!!!! We need more Thai restaurants like this!! All the dishes were amazing and unique. My favorites were the calamari stir fry and the fried fish. Caution: very spicy

The menu was unlike any other Thai place I’ve ate at before. The branzino dish was phenomenal with perfectly crunch garlic topping and a zesty sweet sauce. The prawns were massive and paired very well with the tamarind s sauce. Our server Sherlyn was very kind and helped us navigate our dietary restrictions and provided great recommendations. Loved this meal and will be back to try other things.

The food is so delicious. The caramelized pork is to die for and the tofu dish is delicious. You definitely feel good after eating here.
