Tam Mai Thai

I had such a great experience at this Thai restaurant. Every dish we ordered was delicious and well seasoned. The flavors reminded me of food back in Thailand. Nothing tasted watered down or adjusted too much. The menu had a great variety of options. Service was fast and very friendly. The staff was happy to answer questions about the menu. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Portions were generous for the price. This will definitely be one of my go-to Thai spots.

Do not go here. One block away is one of the best Thai places in the city: TOPAZ. it’s slightly more expensive but the value is there. As for TAM MAI: The service was not good. If the food wasn’t a total rip off then I would have been fine with that and i try not to take my issues out on the staff, but he did put my glass down with his fingers on the rim. Kind of a No no. I went at 3 pm on a Wednesday and the service was slow and it took a while before he got my order. The table of four next to me got their meals one at a time and they were all just awkwardly waiting for the final guy to get before they could eat so I’m not sure what the issue was. As they got served I noticed their food and since I hadn’t even placed my order yet I was reconsidering but finally I was able to order a pad Thai tofu lunch special with spring roll. I saw the table next to me eating their spring rolls and salad free apps with the lunch special. All skimpy and cheap. Finally My spring roll came. No dipping sauce. Bland flavorless and greasy. Fine I can let it slide, but of course not a good sign. I should have gone with my gut and left before ordering because when I Eventually I get my pad Thai it’s just orange slop. Totally greasy tiny bowl of noodles with a couple cubes of tofu on top. I tasted a few bites of the noodles and a small bite of the tofu before calling the waiter over to tell him simply that this isn’t worth $15 to me and it’s very bad and I won’t be eating it. Please cancel the order. He was nice enough about it and offered me something else but I just left. I felt bad and I hope he doesn’t have to pay for it but it wasn’t gonna be me. Gross slimy greasy measly portion of pad Thai and it gave me diarrhea. This restaurant is in a very high competition area and its costs are not competitive so they should try and make it up in the quality of the food. They don’t. It’s borderline criminal to offer this dish at $15. Absolutely outrageous zero standards at this place. Go to topaz.

We had great food at Tam Mai Thai. The authentic flavors reminded us of our wonderful times in Bangkok. The crab fried rice and seafood tom kha were both delicious. It would be even better if the portion sizes were slightly larger. Highly recommended in Manhattan.

Bestt thai food place everr!! I’ve come here with my friends so many times, and it’s always amazing. The food is delicious, and there are some really good options for meals and desserts as well. I always go for the lunch deal whenever I can and it’s worth it! The service is good and everyone is really nice. The vibes and aesthetics are super cute and I love the interior design. Would defoo recommend coming <3

Absolutely amazing Thai food! Everything we ordered was full of fresh flavors and perfectly balanced. The spices were just right, the portions were generous, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had such a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend this place if you want authentic, delicious Thai cuisine — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I loved this place! The workers were so sweet and the service was quick and efficient! The food was so good and the portion sizes are great. The Pad See Ew with chicken, vegetable basil fried rice, crab rangoons, spring rolls and mixed vegetables were perfect for our party of 3. The location is very calming and a nice escape from the hustle of the city! Would definitely come back again!

Food tasted freshly made, adequate portions and nice atmosphere. The location is small, but it’s intimate and employees are efficient. The lunch special was a nice deal. I ordered the Crispy Lime Chicken, and it was delicious! It was a pleasant surprise. The dressing tasted like Caesar, but the chicken seemed to be breaded in a tempura batter, which was fresh and light.

Decent Thai food. Green curry was good but could be a bit more spicier, love the drunken noodles. Owner offers a 5% off if everyone in the party leave a 5 star review. They were very forceful and checked for everyone. It’s feels very forced and probably explains why this spot has so high ratings

The most amazing Tom Kah soup in the city. Crab Rangoon is great too, as is the service.

Four provided great service and the food was delicious! Very attentive to my wheat allergy!

Near the MoMa, you can find this new spot with a menu where most dishes are under $20. In this economy, it's a steal. The service was excellent upon entering - shoutout to the staff member Eddy! The Thai Tea here is so pretty and only $5!The wings were grilled and juicy. The calamari was lightly fried and not chewy at all. The puffs were flaky and hot. And the rangoons were packed with a crabby creamy cheese filling! The curry was mildly spicy, and so creamy and coconuty. The fried rice had a whole crab omelette on top and fresh cucumber on the side. They also have Mango Sticky Rice here for only $10 and it was a classic way to end a Thai meal. It's small inside but very spacious at the same time. This used to be where Bengal Tiger was located!

Cute new Thai spot that opened right near Central Park. We stopped by for lunch on the weekend and there were quite a few people there. We started off with the chicken wing appetizer, a little disappointing bc it seemed baked and just came with some Thai chili sauce on the side. Some wings also had a lot of hair on it. Fortunately the entrees made up for the wings. We had the pad kee mao and the south thai curry. The pad kee mao was very flavorful and came with a ton of basil, one of the better ones I've had in the city. The Thai curry was also flavorful. Staff were nice and attentive. They also have a grand opening special where you can pick a card and get a little discount or drink/app.

My party of 2 visited on a Saturday around 12pm and were seated promptly. This restaurant is located on the second floor, so you need to take stairs up. It's a cozy space with a decent amount of seating. We ordered a couple and appetizers (crab rangoon & soft shell crab spring rolls) and entrees to try, as well as a Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee, and mango sticky rice for dessert. The food and drinks came out relatively quick and the presentation was nice. The shrimp pad thai had a generous amount of shrimp and the noodles were nicely cooked and seasoned. The massaman curry here was different than ones I've had in the past, being less sweet and having more of a kick. + Lunch specials starting at $15 during the week.

Went to this recently opened place with my son for lunch and we enjoyed it very much. The service, decor, and food were perfect. We had the papaya salad with anchovy dressing and soft shell crab summer rolls (special seasonal, appetizer) to start. Then we ordered Chicken in Garlic Sauce and Pad Se Ew with Chicken lunch specials which come with choice of Tum Yum Soup or spring rolls. We went with the soup and it was delightful. The lunch special portions are a little small but good for the diet. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend this gem. They even make their own green tea with toasted rice - very nice!

I recently dined at Tam Mai Thai in Manhattan and had a great experience! I ordered the chicken drunken noodles, which were fresh and delicious. It had great flavor, a bit of a kick and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The Thai tea was very good as well. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the portion size was a bit smaller than I expected. It was so good that I was actually considering ordering another serving The restaurant itself is small but nice, had a nice little bar area and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend Tam Mai Thai for a good Thai cuisine.

Delicious Tom Yum Soup and papaya salad (with lime dressing). Fresh, flavorful vegetables with everything. And very tasty hot teas!

It was such a wonderful dinner, our host was so helpful. We had a lot of different allergies at our table and he was very knowledgeable and attentive to our dishes. The food was so yummy. We will definitely be back!!

Omg is this place beautiful! The waiters were very kind and helpful. The appetizers were delicious. The main dish was amazing and the drinks were great too!

Tam Mai Thai is a beautiful and cozy Thai restaurant on the SECOND floor on 56th St, taking over the old Begal Tiger location. They just opened (Dec 2024) and the renovation is gorgeous. For $17 weekday lunch special, I got the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) with chicken, which came with a tom yum soup. The portion size is good and the quality of ingredients is solid, down to the green fried basil leaves on top of my dish. Service was great, very attentive and sweet. Since they just opened, there was zero wait for a table. Welcome to the neighborhood! Wishing you much success!

This place is really good. I stopped in for the lunch special. I had the pad kee Mao, with a spring roll and Thai tea. Everything was delicious. Additionally, the decor is so cute, and the employees are incredibly warm and friendly. Excellent food and service.
