Thai Market

I got take out after craving some real street style pad Thai like you get in Thailand. This was definitely not it. The noodles were slightly overcooked/mushy and no peanuts. Also they didn’t cook the noodles in the sauce seems like they added separately. Many reviewers love this place so I will have to try again and order laab or kra pao. Sorry to disappoint. Best Thai restaurant in US is Larb Zaab in Quincy, Massachusetts. I dream of it and for me, nowhere outside of Thailand compares.

You NEED to go here if you’re at Columbia or in the Upper West Side. Probably one of the best Thai spots I’ve been to. We got the pad ki Mao & pra ram tofu. SO GOOD. The rice is perfect, and on top of that the service is amazing. They’re super quick, always come and ask if you want anything, their hot sauces have all 4 of the sauces (the spicy pepper, small fresh pickled peppers, chili sauce… and one that I forget, because I don’t usually eat it). They have 2 bathrooms in the back, and the location is super cute.

I gave a 4 because of the customer service but food overall was really good, the interior is nice, cool and chilled. The Steamed Thai dumpling were amazing and tasty, the pad kee mao was very good and I asked for mild, the kow soy was good, not too spicy at all, chicken was very tender and the sauce was flavorful and creamy.

Overcast Sunday random walk-in got us here. The place was not busy and we got an amazing window seat and got straight to ordering which included Kow Soy ($17.95), Vegetable Curry ($17.95) and, Curry Rice ($2.50) - a side portion which was enough to feed our little one! Food overall was inline with expectations; nothing spectacular, but not disappoint either. Not much spice kick, but the Kow Soy was packed with flavor and the Vegetable Curry, not so much! Decent portion sizes too. Service was slightly slow, but food arrived within 25-mins of ordering. Noise levels on the lower end. Will visit again for sure!

BEST thai restaurant I have ever been to in America simply phenomenal in my opinion. The duck was outstanding and even with all the the sauce it was so crispy and melted in your mouth the meat was so tender and the curry sauce was so creamy. The appetizer was also really good and the filling was very tender and juicy. The GPKD was also great and spicy however quite salty. Highly recommend.

The food is always great. The staff are very friendly. With Covid-19 they have screens between you and the people next to you. They also have outdoor seating. The Tiger is an appetizer but they also have the flank steak which is almost the same but better and more. Have to go with the green dipping sauce very spicy, made with lime. It’s so good!! The mo pin grilled pork strips with spicy tamarind sauce, is a must.

One of the few times I give 5 stars. Aside from price, the place was like perfect. The servers, serve in a way that is there but also non invasive. The atmosphere is clean, on theme, and we'll lit for a nice mood. And the food... well is like premium/quality Thai. I had an aversion from a previous experience with Thai in another restaurant and this place helped me get over it. I ordered the panang curry which they easily and without hassle substituted the meat with salmon. And it was beautifully plated, the salmon was perfectly cooked tender and flaky, flavor on point, and just ask around perfection. I also ordered a pomegranate ginger ale and it was alright. Not that good. Too much sugar but the curry was bomb. Tried my friend's curry as well and it also slapped. So good!

So you're looking for great thai food, huh? Well congratulations because you have stumbled across the right place. This is by far the best thai food I have had in NYC. From the appetizers to the entrees, they are all packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars, but the drinks were not great. Overall, a fantastic place for a flavorful meal!

Stepping into this Thai spot in NYC, I was immediately drawn to the charming decor and cozy window seating. The menu, designed like an old newspaper, added a fun nostalgic touch. My waiter, Alex, was outstanding! He was attentive, warm, and genuinely pleasant during my meal and was kind enough to package my to-go plate. The Thai tea and coconut soup were fine, though not particularly memorable. The beef salad, however, was overwhelmingly spicy, and the rice was disappointingly hard and stale. On the brighter side, the shrimp Pad See-Ew was delicious, though the broccoli could have been cooked a bit more. Overall, it's a decent place for a meal with great service and atmosphere, but the food was a mixed bag.

Food was okay. Nothing special and for the price I hoped for more. Service was meh. What was really annoying is that when it's time to pay the bill the first option was already 20% and they are standing right there as you press buttons. Just an OK option if the wait at Banh is too long.

Cute restaurant, very attentive service, and delicious food. I'm still thinking about these chicken skewers the next day! We came around 6:30pm on a Friday and there was no wait, but the place was packed when we left. We both loved our food and will definitely be back!

Visited for Valentine's Day. Lovely Dinner. They had lagoons for a special and they were absolutely amazing. Ive never been here and had a bad experience. Love Thai market. I believe I been coming here for a little over 10 years. Let's not ignore the bill was under $120. 3 apps , 3 drinks, 2 entrees and 2 desserts

Solid staple for the Morningside neighborhood with delicious noodles that hit the spot. The prices have definitely gone up over the years, but their prices are on par with other spots around the city. Most recently, I enjoyed their tofu pad se-ew--it has well cooked, large flat noodles, a good amount of fried tofu and veggies, and a generous (but appropriate) amount of fried egg (so good!) I also tried some of the beef pad se-ew and thought the beef had good flavor but was a bit on the dry side. The takeout portion is a full rectangular takeout container, which was enough for two meals!

The food was yummy and delicious. Service was east, they refilled our water promptly and took our orders at the perfect timing (when we were ready). I liked the inside of the restaurant. There were many pictures of the Thailand street marker (I would assume). It wad interesting to look at. I wish I could go to Thailand! Thank you guys for the best dinner on this first of the month! Wishing us the best end of the year! Happy holidays to the team.

The service here is spectacular!! The food is amazing and fresh. Steamed dumplings to die for. Red light district is perfect with the lychee

Someone was crazing Thai so this place came up with a decent amount of reviews. Interior is nicely done with street signs hanging from the wall and a big red umbrella at the bar. The aroma as we walked closer to our seats near the kitchen definitely made our taste bunds react. Service here was very attentive. We ordered the chicken larb, green curry soft shell crab and the basil fried rice with squid. The chicken larb came with sticky rice and a basket of veggies. The taste was pretty but we didn't enjoy the texture of the chicken at all. We are not big fans of white meat and found the meat very powdery and tasteless. We regretted asking if we could change the protein as we were sure the minced pork would have made a huge difference. Almost positive they could have accumulated this request since we were able to change the protein for the fried rice. The green curry soft shell crab was today's favorite dish. The crabs were very big and perfectly fried. The green curry was very tasty and we kept dipping everything in the sauce or eating it with rice. The dish came with broccoli and red peppers and a side of curry yellow rice. We enjoyed the basil fried rice although it didn't taste like your typical basil fried rice.

Good food, good ambiance, good service. It was a little slow in serving though which I find different from most thai places. Food was solid though.

Food was amazing. The rat was not (lowkey service too). Went here with my friends because the reviews seemed decent for Thai food in the area. And the food was good, no doubt about that. I wouldn't say it was the most amazing thai food I've had but it was yummy. That being said, there was literally a rat running around inside the restaurant as we were eating. Killed our appetite immediately. They couldn't find the rat but they were trying to calmly search for it. Not only that but the service was not the best. When we put our names down, the waitress told us it would be a 10 minute wait and we didn't get a text for 30 minutes. We would've just gone somewhere else to eat, lying about the wait time did not look good. After we waited that long, they set us in the front of the door which had so much cold air coming in and out (I was a bit sick at the time so I wanted to stay warm). We asked for a table in the back that was empty. They said there was a reservation coming in a few mins. We asked them to close the door. They said they would and never did. Our food came out and we ate for ~1 hour. There was no reservation that showed up. It was sort of clear that they didn't want to move us to the back. Food: Yummy, not the best. Ambiance: Rat?! Service: Could definitely be better.

Absolutely, I highly recommend my neighbor incredible Thai food restaurant. Here's why...The BEST and my favorites are: Veggie Curry with Fried Tofu in Coconut Milk (WOW!), Yao-Hoo Todd (Crispy Fried Tofu & Peanut Sauce, ***Kow Pad Poo (Crabmeat Fried Rice) (OMG), and Thai Ice Tea (a must have!) . Another spoiled New Yorker...? Yup, because I don't have to go far, fast delivery & hot food, completely convenient & economically sound. ;0) "Don't hate the player, hate the game." New Yorkers LOVE convenience.

Best Pad Thai I've had in quite some time. The chicken dumplings were amazing. When they arrived and we asked if there was a dipping sauce, the lady said no, it's all inside. She wasn't kidding. Not like a soup dumpling, but terrifically moist and tasty.

Cool spot bc their menu look like a newspaper. Pad se ew is good, curry puffs and calamari were freshly fried. Pomegranate ginger ale sounded so cool but i felt lied to when it came in a glass bottle. Their papaya salad is nice and refreshing but a too wet for me. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. Mango sticky rice is so tasty.

Pros: Nice ambience!! Amazing curry :)) Not too spicy and really creamy. Portion sizes filled me up. Cons: The drunken noodles were pretty salty Pretty solid Thai spot in UWS!

Service (5/5): We were immediately seated on a Sunday. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Ambiance (5/5): There's both indoor and outdoor seating. They kept the front and side doors open so the inside was warm and without AC. The menu is unique in that it looks like a newspaper. There's a full bar and open, bright, spacious dining area. Food: Overall all the dishes had a good portion for the price! My friends' dishes had a generous portion of tofu. There's a perceived authenticity in the taste of the dishes Kui Teiw Kua Ped $17 (4/5): There was chunks of nicely seasoned duck. However, I felt like the flavor of the noodles wasn't totally cooked into the dish. Savory and great sauce that could use a bit more spice. Pad Kee Mao $16 (4/5): I felt like the spice level was just right. However not as flavorful as other kee maos that I've had. Pad Sapparod (5/5): I enjoyed this dish over the Kui Teiw Kua Ped; The sauce's flavor was a bit more savory and unique. Thai Iced tea (5/5): can never go wrong with a thai iced tea!

Everything was so delicious. Very authentic Thai food and restaurant. The duck noodles soup was the best I've ever had

I got pad kee mao with chicken and moo ping (marinated pork on skewers). Both were delicious, definitely hit the spot. Pad kee mao was very saucy and flavorful. I was concerned that the noodles were going to be dry and stuck together because that sometimes happens when I get noodle dishes for takeout, but the noodles were wonderfully moist and saucy. I personally didn't think it had much spice and would have preferred it to be spicier. I loved that there was a good amount of chicken and other non-noodle components because some places will give almost all just noodles, but not here. Of the pad kee maos I've had, this one is a lot more tomato-forward with hints of a marinara sauce kinda flavor, esp w the small tomato pieces. I loved the sauce of the moo ping and the subtle spice it has. The meat had nice crispy edges, but I wish the pieces were more meat and less fat. Overall, very satisfying meal!

Ah... maybe my memories are warped with age, but Thai Market was not nearly as wonderful as I remember it being about a decade ago, when it was in regular rotation. We used to love the skewers, whole grilled fish, turnip cakes, the noodles -- everything really. On a recent evening, dinner by delivery was a disappointment against the backdrop of our memories -- but was probably fair for the neighborhood. Everything has become Americanized and hyper, gloppy sweet. Fish sauce, spice, and all the pungent flavors that make Thai food interesting are no longer present or otherwise extremely dialed back. Where there is spicy heat, it comes from ingredients that are not traditional for those dishes, e.g. from some sort of sriracha-like hot sauce instead of fresh hot peppers in ped kee mao. Stirfried turnip cakes were once IMHO one of the best dishes in Manhattan, made with crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside slivers of sauteed turnip cake tossed with a melange of sprouts and other vegetables, soy sauce and fish sauce. What we received by delivery was a sodden mess, made with an imbalanced amount of fish sauce that tasted completely off for anyone familiar with the dish or cuisine. Skewers were very vanilla. No longer are chicken or beef heart or gizzards offered on the menu. The chicken tenders and marinated pork we were able to order were sweeter than we like, not grilled (griddled at best), seasoned with something premade, overly sweet and corn-syrupy gloppy. Noodles (ped kee mao and kee mao gai) were texturally pleasant, but poorly made by someone who was clearly not familiar with the cuisine and winging it wrt flavors. We've been hyping the restaurant to friends for years and feel embarrassed for doing so. It's possible we tried on an off night. Will try again... but I'm in no hurry to return.

For the crab rangoon alone I am compelled to give a 5 star review, but alas there are other factors to consider. My friend and I ordered a gai rad prik (mild spicy) and thai thai basil sauce (medium spicy). We also ordered thai iced teas. The gai rad prik was sweet and spicy grilled chicken and portion size was generous. The funny thing is that this was spicier than the thai basil even though we requested mild spicy. The thai basil sauce was pretty good- there's not as much flavor but it's great to balance out the gai rad prik. Thai iced teas were great but quite sweet. And ofc the crab rangoon was amazing!! Bonus point: The menus are cool and look vintage, but the food is quite pricey

Got the Thai craving after watching the Street Food Asia from Netflix. Came over to Thai Market for its ambience and some Thai foods. Satisfied with every dishes we ordered. Love the Kow Pad Poo, the crabmeats were chunky and generously served. Delicious and will be on my must order list for future visit. Next time I return will try other dishes.

Cute spot in West Harlem / UWS. Took it for takeout but also had a cute interior. Waitstaff seem friendly and food was solid

Boy this place is popular. Full on on a Tuesday night! Good place to meet friends. Good price point on most menu items. I had to order the most expensive dish on the menu because I had to have fried duck, but it came to me smothered to bits in a thick pasted on penang. It cost too much, and was too unwieldy. Not having that again.

SMALL PORTIONS, BIG PRICE. I used to order take out from Thai Market every other day. The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. Personal business kept me away from New York City for many months during the past two years. Tonight, when I order take out from this place, I was surprised BY the small, stingy portions I got. The Tom Jerd soup container was half of the size of a small soup container from any of the Upper West Side Asian take outs. The New Yarng Nam Tok came with just one scoop of sticky rise and a few decorative pieces of lettuce. They now add a delivery charge. Considering the $5 tip for the delivery guy (who is not responsible for the size of the plates), I paid $42 for an unsatisfactory dinner. I threw away their takeout menu.

Maybe a 4.5--very, very good Thai food, but a few weak points. Mango salad had great seasoning and delicious fried salmon skin, but the actual mango didn't quite seem to fit, and something seemed a bit off about the sticky rice. Duck noodle soup had amazing duck and broth, but the noodles were kinda soggy? Crab fried rice was excellent, fluffy texture with fresh-tasting crab flavor.

delish! as always.. food is always hot with just the right amount of spice. Little pricey but well worth it

Cute, Thai market inspired decorations, full bar, and extensive selection of solid food! I loved everything, especially the curry rice, which was beautifully fragrant with a subtly sweet finish. Everything was delicious but I thought the rice was exceptional. Few words for the wise : The salmon seems to come medium-medium well so if you like it rarer ask up front. The mango salad packs a bit of heat. It's delicious and well-balanced, but if you're spice sensitive I'd let them know to see if they can make it without the bird's eye chili. I hope you enjoy your experience as much as I did mine. Have fun!

Got the veggie curry & tome jerd tao hoo for delivery. Ordering online was easy and quick. Food delivery was on time and followed the directions well too. Food itself was good, nothing crazy to write out. Decent flavors and well cooked.

Easy and reliable restaurant for Thai food. Opens between lunch and dinner times which is convenient. Staff aren't super friendly but the food is filling and it's an easy go to place to try.

Great food I love their chicken lard and papaya salad but I have one problem with them I order for pick up and delivery all the time and they NEVER PUT UTENSILS AND NAPKINS. Why is that idk they need to stop being so cheep

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants on the upper west side! Their pad kee mao hits the spot because it's very flavorful and not too heavy. The service was also great and I got my food relatively quickly. They also have a good amount of seating for New York. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the neighborhood!

Cute restaurant with a nice Asian theme. As a party of 3 we were sat promptly handed menus that appeared printed on a large newspaper. We had 3 apps and 3 mains. The food was well prepared and delicious. We had the hanger steak, chicken with basil sauce and shrimp pad Thai. All were so good! Ask for spicy sauce and they'll bring - spice carrier with 4 different spices or sauces including jalapeños. I'm rarely in the area but when I'm back I'll be sure to visit this place again. Excellent choice for Thai food in the area.

BEST neighborhood Thai, probably one of the top on the UWS. Okay, not a super high bar... Full disclosure - I can't take super spicy food, so I don't know if Thai Market comes through for those dishes. It is the only Pad Thai delivery that I get because unlike most of the others, it is not a gloop of oversweetened sauce with overcooked noodles. It is tangy, bit sweet, bit spicy with a great balance of veggies, noodles and protein. Other standouts: GET THE BROWN TROUT! It's hard to find Thai fish dishes that aren't super spicy/ super breaded. The trout is incredibly moist, fried but not breaded, and just the right flavorings. Somehow, the dish survives the delivery process to arrive still hot and still juicy. The mango sticky rice is consistently good. The green curry never disappoints. The larb is inconsistent - the balance of spicy, vinegary and salty doesn't always work. The apps are okay not outstanding.

Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices. This place is definitely worth coming out of your way for. Tom Yum Goong: less sour and complex than regular T Yum, I fell in love with the lemongrass and mushroom combo, with tender shrimp and chopped scallions. Intensely flavorful, this feels like it can cure you of any ailment. I thought the spice level was perfect, not too aggressive. The steamed Thai dumplings with chicken and peanuts come with this perfectly thin and delicate dumpling skin, but no dipping sauces. While delicious, I'd love something to dip them in. Pad Kee mao is fairly spicy and delicious (but not Thai spicy), and is less sweet than places serve. Perfectly cooked noodles that were still a bit firm. I couldn't resist ordering their $25 skirt steak for me entree, with an extra $2 for a side of vegetables. This comes with sticky rice and a spicy green sauce. Not only is this an incredible bargain, but the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and melt in your mouth tender. Don't skip this!

Came in for early dinner and the place was fairly vacant. We were seated right away. The menu was fairly expensive with multiple categories. I got the braised beef noodle with beef balls and ask them to make it as spicy as they can. The noodle was very good and flavorful, however was not very spicy. All my friends were also satisfied with their food. service was very fast however our waitress appeared very impatient, constantly checking back every few minutes asking for our order while we were looking at the menu. During our meal, she often came by to check and ask if we finish, even though my friends were still eating. The restaurant was not full while we were eating and there were a lot of empty tables so we did not understand why we were rushed. When some of us finish eating while a few were still working on their food, the waitress started to clear the table. Overall the food was good but I would enjoy my experience more if I did not feel rushed to leave.

There's tons of seating, indoors and outdoors. The service was super on top of it. The food was pretty good. I got the massaman curry and I liked it. I didn't love the avocado personally, but not bad.

I love this Thai restaurant. They offer pretty innovative Thai food as some of the dishes are ones of a kind. I ordered frog legs with basil sauce which was very yummy. They deep fried the frog legs and then add spicy sauce. It's a little salty and they didn't give enough rice. But other than that, it's yummy and refreshing

green curry (w shrimp and i asked for no eggplant) & mango sticky rice bOIIII. I took my leftover green curry to go bc I couldn't let it go to waste and homeless guy asked me for food ): I really did not want to give up my green curry but I had to. Almost walked back in to get myself another order. no pic of green curry bc my fatass was too excited to eat

Had dinner at Thai Market on Thursday evening. The better than expected rendition of a classic Thai dish would convince me to return. Quality: While I did not explore much of the menu, the one item I had was very good. The Shrimp Pad Thai had a lot of elements I look for in the dish. It is on the sweeter end with a underlying peanut flavor. Lots of large and juicy shrimp, which fit well with the dish. The pasta itself had a light, but firm texture, which was perfect. Quantity: Large portions with a lot of shrimp. Value: $18 for Shrimp Pad Thai. Ambiance: Thai Market is located on the Upper West Side of New York. The space is pretty large with a bar at the center, and tables surrounding it in an L-shape. Large photo posters line the walls and a few umbrellas hang over the bar. The rest of the inside is very industrial, with exposed brick and vents. Has a very casual feel, and a good place for large groups. There were some weird odors coming out of the back area, which would be my main complaint about the meal. Crowd: Very busy on Thursday night, only one or two open tables. Service: Quick, no frills service. Parking: Limited street parking in the area.

Ask for the duck noodles!! They're really the bomb, especially if you want to step out of your comfort zone of pad thai but aren't quite ready for the unfamiliar dishes whose name you can't read. The choices are a little overwhelming given that I can't read the menu like at all. BUT the fact that they have their menu in a different language also hints at its authenticity. Also want to give a shout out to the service! My friends and I came in 10 minutes before they stopped taking orders, and they were able to accommodate us with appetizers and desserts as well. We really appreciated that.

Very good place. Very nice. Decent portions. Fair prices $$. I recommend this for dinner.

Fried rice had no flavor. Just white rice with veggies and chicken. Thai ice tea was 70% ICE. I wouldn't return.

I got pad thai as takeout. Was ready super quickly and was some of the best pad Thai I've had in the UWS

Finally adding photos of this unbeatable deliciousness!!! I have the same waitress every time, I'm going to have to take a photo with her next time. She's always great. This is hands down the BEST kow pad gra prow (chicken basil fried rice) curry puffs and chicken sate EVER!!!!! There's always a wait here for a reason. The only thing I can comfortably say now is that their spring rolls could be better. Nonetheless I have LOVE for this restaurant and LOVE for Thai food because of the chefs here. I nominate them for BEST Thai Cuisine and BEST Thai Chef in NYC-NJ. Go and enjoy!

Thai food heaven! If craving for thai food, come here and you will be satisfied! Location: It is located in Amsterdam Ave. It is near Mount Sinai St. Lukes, so quick way to go if you are craving for Thai food. The restaurant is quite huge, plenty of seats but I stayed in the bar cause I went by myself. Service: The girl in the bar is super nice, she keeps asking me if I need anything. So sweet! Food: I went here for lunch so I ordered their lunch special which is $9.95 for 1 appetizer and 1 main course. SPRING ROLL: it is so crispy and it is vegetable inside, I got two which is perfect so it is not overwhelming, the sauce tho could be better. PAD THAI: omg it was good, better than in Thailand! Lol I got shrimp and there is like 4 huge shrimps in there! Yum! THAI ICED COFFEE: it was so good! Taste bitter at first but when u mixed it, omg soo delicious! Price rating: 5/10, not bad for lunch. OMG I will definitely go back here to try their other food! Definitely try Pad Thai and their Iced Coffee!

This place has the best lunch deals. Around 10 dollars for an appetizer and a main. Absolutely mindblowing deals in my opinion. The service was great and I liked the ambience too. I ordered the Thai dumplings, and they sure are a unique treat. The skin is layered, with chicken and peanuts inside. It was both soft and crunchy, and a genuine flavor explosion in my mouth. I also had their pad thai, and you can never go wrong with pad thai. The peanut and lemon blended well together with a slight sourness. Honestly great portion size-too big for me to finish-for the price you are paying. The green salad also had a lovely spice and crunch to it, and the fried rice had an aromatic soy smell. Overall, great lunch and would definitely return to try other dishes!

Wonderful food and great service. A very open airy environment to eat in. I also appreciate their VERY quick deliveries!!

Ordered food for pick up. Website was easy to use, food ready right on time. Food was delicious!! Loved every bite. Nice size portion, too.

Visited the area and got hungry so we tried this place based on the amount of reviews it had and I'm glad my mom and I took a chance! What we got: Thai Market crepe: yummy Shrimp Pad Se-Ew: yummy Kaw Soy: yummy The dishes were flavorful!! They don't hold back on the flavors like some restaurants do! Will definitely be back!
