LALYN

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We tried the Braised Pork Belly and the Basil Steak Fried Rice, and both were bursting with authentic flavors and the perfect level of spice. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. Service was attentive without being intrusive. This is easily our new go-to spot for Thai food in the city!

Had an awesome experience here! Such a beautiful Thai restaurant with a great atmosphere — cozy, clean, and very nicely decorated. The food was absolutely delicious! Some dishes are a bit spicy, but you can easily ask the staff for mild spice and they’re very accommodating. Special thanks to our server May, who was incredibly sweet and attentive. She patiently introduced the dishes and gave us great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back again and highly recommend this place! 🤗

Had an amazing time here with my family for Christmas Eve. The place was easily to find and commute is really flexible, there’s a subway nearby. Today we had two of their signature dishes, and it was absolutely delicious. To top it off, we had a little dessert which was like a rabbit cheesecake. And also their signature cocktail. Atmosphere is really beautiful feeling very cheeky and cozy. The staff were amazing. They took care of us really well and even gave us recommendations on foods and drinks. Everything was delicious. Thank you Jakk for introducing use to new menus we’ve never had at a Thai place before. Definitely come back again.

LALYN is one of those Midtown Thai spots that just gets everything right. The space is stylish yet comfortable, making it an easy choice for a night out. The food delivers bold authentic Thai flavors that feel clean and well balanced. Cocktails pair beautifully with the food making it an easy spot to linger. Do not skip dessert! They’re seriously inventive and just as beautiful as they are delicious. Each one looks like a work of art but actually delivers on flavor, not just presentation. Between the food, desserts, and smooth service, LALYN is a Midtown spot to be visited when you’re craving Thai!

Relatively new thai restaurant but pretty impressed by the food and people here. Specially, Ken is great at making sure we got everything. The bartender does a great job. If you want good cocktail for happy hour definitely recommend this place. The food was great, I got vegan and my friend got chicken , both were good. Dessert is good too! I would come back soon

LALYN is a new Thai restaurant that immediately stands out for both creativity and execution. We started with cocktails—Boon Chu, Kom Fake, Naki, Tawipob, and Darikra—each one thoughtfully composed, well-balanced, and distinct in character. You can tell real intention went into the drink program; these are cocktails designed to complement the food, not just fill a menu slot. For starters, the Squid Skewers were perfectly cooked with great texture, and the Blossom Sago Bites were light, playful, and surprisingly memorable—an excellent way to open the meal. The main dishes were just as impressive. Highlights included the Braised Pork Belly, Grilled Branzino, Fish Curry Gratin, Crab Croquettes, Char-Grilled Strip Loin, Basil Steak Fried Rice, Salmon Larb Tartare, Kua Gai, Chive Rice Cake, and Crab Meat Fried Rice. Every dish arrived well-seasoned, balanced, and clearly made with care. Desserts closed the experience beautifully with Bunny Cheese Cake, Purple Yam Coconut, and Lemon Mousse—comforting, refined, and not overly sweet. Special appreciation for our server Pete, who handled a large table and a long order with calm confidence, great timing, and genuine hospitality. Service like this makes you want to come back. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere are all aligned here. LALYN feels intentional, polished, and worth revisiting.

Found this absolute gem tucked away and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it perfect for a low-key date night. The staff were so welcoming and made sure our spice levels were exactly where we wanted them. The Rawang curry was rich and velvety, and the rabbit cake was the perfect sweet finish. Great portions, reasonable prices, and genuine hospitality. 10/10 would recommends!

Nice place to visit. Ploy is very nice for serving us. Had a wonderful dining experience here! The Thai food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish was delicious and well-balanced. What really made the experience stand out was the excellent service from Ploy. She was warm, attentive, and very professional, always checking in at the right moments and making us feel truly welcome. Thanks to Ploy and the amazing food, this was a memorable meal. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!

Everything about this place was GREAT!!! The ambiance was soft, calm, and dimly lit. Great for celebrations, or just a girl dinner. The service was good too, everybody was attentive. The manager even came over to us and asked about our time. I went with my mom and daughter, although my daughter is a picky eater she enjoyed the food. She especially loved the beginning part where they hand out warm towels. We ordered the Herbed Crisp Wings, Crab Croquettes, Grilled Branzino, and Crab Meat Fried Rice. Everything was good; the chicken wings just need a little bit more frying. I'm Definitely coming back

The space is stunning -- sleek, elegant, and softly lit, creating a calm, moonlit vibe that feels both warm and welcoming. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or an intimate dinner. Standout dishes? The scallops crudo is light and refreshing, the crab croquette is a must with its crispy exterior and rich shrimp and lump crab filling, and the duck curry is packed with deep, comforting flavors.

Lalyn is a great option for dinner if you're in the Midtown area - The menu offers various small plates, soups, noodles/fried rice/curry entrees, signature dishes, lunch specials, sides, and desserts. They also have an extensive drink list, offering various cocktails! Our group came here after catching a show, and we started off with some apps to share: +Crab Croquettes - deep-fried shrimp balls filled with jumbo lump crab, and served with a lime sauce and shrimp roe +the Chicken Satay - marinated with turmeric, coconut milk, and Thai spices, then char-grilled; served with tortillas, the house peanut relish, and pickled cucumbers +and, the Blossom Sago Bites - these were flower-shaped dumplings, filled with a shallot-peanut mix, topped with crispy garlic; these were so aesthetically pleasing and pretty, as the dumplings were tinted with butterfly pea! For our mains, we ordered: +the Lalyn Pad Thai - prepared with shrimp tamarind sauce and topped with grilled jumbo prawns +the Crab Meat Fried Rice - prepared with crab roe sauce and served with the house's spicy seafood sauce +the Roasted Duck Pineapple Curry - topped with charred duck breast; this was nice and creamy +and, the Fish Curry Gratin - cod with coconut curry mouse, grilled while being wrapped in a banana leaf Don't sleep on their desserts, as their Lemon Mousse (shaped like a lemon!) and the Bunny Cheesecake (shaped like a bunny!) were super cute and a nice way to end our meal! Our server, Ken, was on point and checked in our party often throughout our dining experience! The space is nice, dimly-lit with a dark wood decor; modern and sleek! Would love to try their other signature dishes, such as the Char-Grilled Strip Loin, the Grilled Branzino, and the Lamb Shank Massaman. A nice spot for date nights, small get-togethers, or just an 'elevated' Thai experience; reservations accepted! +Crab Croquettes +Lalyn Pad Thai +Crab Meat Fried Rice +Lemon Mousse +Rabbit Cheesecake +ask for Ken! +friendly staff & service +reservations accepted

Had a great dinner at Lalyn! Jana was our server and she did a wonderful job taking care of us. We were a large party of 14, and part of the reason we came to Lalyn was because they accept reservations for larger groups without a required minimum spend or private dining requirements. The food was great. We started with the spring rolls and chicken wings and liked both. For my entree I had the pad see ew with chicken and it was cooked really well. I also had a Thai iced tea that I loved. Overall it was a great dinner and the ambiance inside is very elegant as well.

Everything was so good! Highly recco for anyone that wants elevated Thai. Every plate was perfectly balanced and delicious. This is good for sharing w others to be able to try more things. I will def come back when I am in the area and craving Thai!

Came here after hearing quite a bit of hype. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and ornate, though some of the tables are seated a little too close together, which can feel cramped. There's no shortage of wait staff, but service was inconsistent. Our water ran out about halfway through the meal and wasn't refilled despite clearly empty glasses. Several dishes also arrived lukewarm rather than hot, which isn't how I prefer my food to be served. By the end of the meal, we were genuinely thirsty and ended up asking for water at the same time we asked for the bill. The food isn't especially authentic Thai, which seems intentional and aligned with the market they're going for. The pork belly was well executed, with good flavor and fat that melted in the mouth. The lamb was tender and falling off the bone, but it lacked heat and was slightly too salty. The som tum was average -- not the best, not the worst. The crab croquettes were decent, essentially crab cakes with kewpie mayo. The squid skewers were made with small round squids that were a bit chewy, though the accompanying sour chili sauce was familiar and enjoyable. Dessert was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. The drinks were well thought out, and I could see the direction they were going with them, but the ratios and execution could use some fine-tuning. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but if someone else wanted to come, I wouldn't mind tagging along.

We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday, and everything about the experience was fantastic. May, our server, was so hospitable, and catered to our every need. Our glasses never ran out of water, the food was so flavorful, and when they realized it was my friend's birthday, they brought out complimentary ice cream and a handwritten birthday card! The portions of the entrees were large (very shareable). Would for sure recommend the crab croquettes as a starter, and then the rawang curry and basil fried rice for entrees.

My date and I wandered in off the street with no expectations and really lucked out, discovering a beautiful venue with superlative food and charming service, so typical of Thai culture. Although the menu included the usual Thai dishes, we opted for two dishes which were dazzling in their originality and enormously satisfying. One was duck breast and the other was a lamb shank. The chef really knows what he or she is doing, creating two very different sauces, each one suited to its protein. I'm a big fan of Thai food and this restaurant stands head and shoulders above the typical.

The ambiance is great, feels calm and sophisticated. Very attentive service as well. We got the tom yum hot pot, squid skewers, and the char-grilled strip loin served with rice. The hot pot and skewers were good, not sure if I would order again. The strip loin was crafted beautifully! Very flavorful.

Love coming here, I try something new eveytime and it never disappoints. Food is fantastic and consistent, staff is so attentive and accommodating, service is stellar and the ambiance is the perfect place to escape the city, beautiful restaurant.

The food was INCREDIBLE, the space was gorgeous, and our server May was beyond amazing. She noticed it was my birthday and not only gave me ice cream but a handwritten card. Almost started crying on the spot that's the sweetest thing that's ever happened. All around amazing experience

hidden gem so glad it opened luch menu is great very nice n cosy and a great location definitely coming back again to enjoy the rest of the dishes
