LALYN

We had a wonderful experience at Lalyn! The food truly delivers authentic Thai flavors. The spice level was a bit strong, but that’s exactly how Thai food should be bold and full of character and we were able to enjoy it. The Rawang Curry, a Southern Thai specialty, was especially impressive and a pleasant surprise. Kudos to the chef! The atmosphere is beautiful perfect for celebrations or a cozy meal with friends and family. A special thank you to Kwan for the warm welcome and for seating us right away without any wait (thank goodness, because we were very hungry!). The service was fantastic. Nat took great care of us friendly, attentive, and very efficient.

We're recently visited lalyn and had a really nice experience. The dishes were flavorful, portions were just right, and everything tasted fresh. The restaurant feels cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot for Thai food in midtown. I’d definitely come back and try more dishes! Ours staff and bartender very nice and kind 😃😃

I recently visited LALYN and had such a wonderful experience. The ambiance is beautiful and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. The food was flavorful, well-presented, and clearly made with care. Every dish felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service was also warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Manhattan.

I had a wonderful experience at this Thai restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. The ingredients tasted fresh and everything was cooked perfectly. The staff （BRI)were very friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. The restaurant was also clean and had a nice, cozy atmosphere. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food!

100% worth the hype! I was so surprised to see how busy they were on a weekday, but after going there it makes sense. The food is excellent (the crab croquettes and lamb massaman curry and strip sirloin are a must!); the drinks are so refreshing; the interior is absolutely gorgeous, and everyone was so attentive (jana our waitress was amazing!). This is definitely a must visit, everything was such a hit—an elevated Thai dining experience for sure!

Excellent Thai food and beautiful space. Everything we ordered was impressive. The Tom Kha was rich and creamy with plenty of chicken and mushrooms — honestly one of the best coconut soups I’ve had. Chicken satay was fun and well balanced when wrapped with the pickles and tortilla. The taro crisps were addictive, very fragrant. The grilled branzino was perfectly cooked, crispy outside and tender inside, and the lamb shank massaman was fall-off-the-bone and not gamey at all. Portions are generous and great for sharing. Stylish interior, good for dates or a nice dinner with friends. Definitely worth the high rating.

Food was really good i had the purple dumplings and they were amazing. I also had the steak it was cooked to perfection. The dessert looked awesome. And the drink tasted alright but was strong which makes it really good. The waitress and the manager at the time were great. Would love to come again.

The food and service were absolutely top-notch. I loved the fish curry gratin. It was rich and full of flavor. The duck curry was very unique and paired perfectly with the Valentine’s drinks. May provided excellent service and gave us great recommendations. 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

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
