Thailicious ( Thai Food)

I was heading to another restaurant but saw they were closed. I was still hungry and wanted to grab a bite and found this amazing Thai spot. The door is locked so you have to press the button to get in (hard) - I thought they were closed but I’m glad I called and the owner let me in haha. The food was delicious and the Thai Ice Tea was so tasty. I ordered the crispy veggie dumplings and Spicy Mango dish with beef. 10/10!!!! It was bangin’. Now one of my go to spots if I’m in the area!

I almost always ordered through Uber, but I started visiting them directly more often and nothing compares to the fresh, hot, and delicious food. Supporting small, local businesses is great becoming a regular and hace the comfort food; it's a small, clean, and welcoming space, so totally recomended.

One of the best Thai places with healthy vegan options. This is my second time and both times Jay helped me making sure my dishes were fully vegan. So thank you, Jay! Not only that they’re vegan but also so healthy that you don’t feel tired afterwards. Hard find when it comes to Thai restaurants. So this is a highly recommended Thai Restaurant and I’ll come back when I’m back to the neighborhood again.

As someone that's been to Thailand and searched for something authentic in the states, this is the place. The food was so good that we came here for lunch, for the first time, and had to come back for dinner. The pineapple fried rice was perfect and the mango sticky rice actually used the right mangos! I couldn't tell a difference between this place and places like Krabi, Phuket, or Bangkok. This will be my go-to Thai place anytime I'm in NYC.

Wow guys—if you live in LES this has got to be your go to Thai spot from now on. Jay was honestly the kindest server I’ve had here in LES and the vibes in this place are unmatched. I want the wall decor for my own home it’s that cute. Thank you Jay and Thailicious for a great experience! See you guys soon :)

Great place. Walked by it but turned back. Glad I did. Red curry was a amazing. Cozy, intimate lighting. Staff is friendly and warm. Must try the Thai hot tea.

THAILICIOUS is truly delicious! I’ll admit I’m a simple girl who usually orders the same thing every visit but that’s only because it’s that good. The Mr. Roti has been my go-to until the owner recommended the bigger version, the Massaman Curry, and WOW! Took my favorite to a whole new level. A bit spicier but good. Great food, friendly owners, and consistently satisfying every time. If you’re looking for a spot that never misses, this is it. Highly recommend!

Super delicious home style food and a very welcoming atmosphere. Everything I had here tasted like it was made with special care. Both the drunken noodles and the mango sticky rice were some of my favorite classic Thai dishes 🤌 I really respected that they only serve mangoes when they are perfectly sweet and soft and on top of that the sticky rice was SO good I would eat the rice on its own. Highly recommend you stop by and support this great business

Thailicious has quickly become a regular spot for me, especially after climbing at Vital as it's on my walk home. Big fan of their pad see ew, and their mango sticky rice is one of the best I've had in the city. Also, the manager Jay is so friendly and always a great chat (tip: bring cash for a hefty discount!)

This was such a great experience. Service: we came in as a group of 8 people right before closing and they were great. They said they'd be happy to seat us and didn't rush us in taking our orders. They even let us hangout inside until the taxis came as it was pouring rain outside. Food: the food was good. It was flavorful and came out steaming hot. We could tell that it was freshly made. Their roti and veggie curry mix was delicious. The roti was well cooked and the curry mix had a really nice flavor to it. The drunken noodles had a really nice texture to them and it had a good balance of veggies and tofu. We also got spring rolls, they were crispy and the filling inside was well cooked. We also got the fried rice which was nice. Ambiance: it's super cute and I love all the plants. The decor is rustic modern. It's a great spot for a date night.

Quite disappointed in our delivery meal. It came on time, and the soup and spring rolls were OK but the Pad Thai was really poor- no peanuts at all and no peanut taste and stingy on the vegetables. It just didn't have the quality expected from a Thai restaurant We will not be ordering again

Nice surprise finding this place after climbing at Vital nearby. This place is a perfect no frills spot that's great for eating alone (like myself), catching up with a friend, or just wanting a place that's super casual. Prices are solid and the menu is a good mix of authentic Thai and more approachable Thai for people that don't eat spicy food. If you like more authentic Thai spice, let your server know and they'll hook it up! Can't wait to go back. I got the lychee duck curry, papaya salad, and mango sticky rice. All were fantastic!

it's a small restaurant with a chic atmosphere. The food was freshly made and tasted great. The server was attentive as soon as we walked in we were greeted, and she took our order when we were ready.

Got this for delivery .4 miles from me : Rama Peanut Chicken. Pad See-EW beef. Delivery was fast. Food came hot. This was the most blandest Thai I've never had. It tasted like anyone could have went to a North American store , went down the international aisle and grabbed premade sauces to sautee with a protein or vegetables. The Rama Peanut was literally slices of chicken with no marinade or seasoning at all. It tasted exactly like chicken and nothing else. Not even saltiness. And the sauce was watery and diluted to have the taste and consistency of chunky Jiffy with water. Absolutely no heat or umani. The chicken was also overcooked. The Pad See-ew noodles were of good texture and so was the plentiful amount of Chinese broccoli but the beef , well , half looked like beef, the other a mystery meat of something lighter than beef. Again, NO FLAVOR at all. To proof I did not specify to go easy on spices I included the delivery bill.

On Yelp and also on sign on door said it opened at 1pm. We arrived at 1:05. Gate was down and no one was there and it was raining. Had to find another place to eat. NO EXCUSE

I was looking a place to eat near the Vital gym and decided to walk in. I love the Crab Fried Rice and also highly recommend the Pad See Ew and Spare Ribs. Still need to try some other dishes. Staff are extremely tentative and friendly and the decor is great!

We walked in around 7pm on a Saturday as a group of 4 and were sat immediately. They were pretty busy, but we were still able to snag a table. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our server was hilarious and the food came out super quick. She was very attentive.

Came here on a weekday night with a friend. What we got-Drunken noodle with mock duck, Duck fried rice, and Crab Rangoon. The Drunken Noodle with Mock duck was my favorite. The noodles were so delicious and the flavors were just amazing. I would definitely get this again. Crab Rangoon-5/5- very crispy and it pairs so well with the drunken noodle. Service-5/5-everything came out super fast and the lady was super nice. Overall, I would definitely come back here to for more !

Food was amazing 10/10, Ambiance was beautiful and clean. The waitress were super nice, specially Jayj she is amazing, made sure we had a great experience. Will definitely go back.

came in for dinner on a thursday night and exceeded expectations. had to add en extra order of roti because we finished the first one too fast!! chicken satay was fire and the pad see ew + tom yum fried rice as mains left us feeling so full and satisfied. owner lady was the sweetest!

Thailicious was delicious! I can't believe it took me so long to finally try Thailicious after having it in my bookmarks for so long. The restaurant is super cozy and clean, great for a casual lunch or dinner. We started with the Thai iced tea, which was perfectly sweet. Then we got Mr. Roti, which was roti with coconut chicken curry. The curry was rich and creamy, while the roti was soft and chewy -- it was perfect for dipping into that flavorful sauce. For our main dishes, we tried their pad thai and drunken noodles. Both dishes were amazing! I loved how the noodles were slightly chewy, and there was a lovely char that gave both the dishes a nice depth of flavor. The sauces were perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. Seriously, everything was so so good. To top it all off, the staff was wonderful. Special shout out to Jan, who was so lovely and attentive. The prices of everything were more than reasonable. I highly recommend Thailicious to anyone who likes Thai food!

Amazing food and authentic flavors. Everything tasted bomb and was so rich in flavor. Awesome casual neighborhood spot with affordable prices unlike many Thai spots in NY. The service was also superb. Jan was very welcoming and provided awesome recommendations. We got the drunken noodles and pad Thai and it was some of the best Thai noodles we've had in New York. Will definitely be coming back

My friends and I were walking around LES and were in that mood for Thai food and stopped in. So glad we did! Calming aesthetic and an amazing music playlist that add to the great dinning experience. The customer service was FANTASTIC. Our waitress provided great food recommendations and suggested my party order different items to share which was such a great idea. For appetizers we started with the Tom yum lemongrass shrimp soup which was so flavorful and vegetable shrimp rolls, and curry puff. For entrees, we selected pad Thai with shrimp, drunken noodles with shrimp and the spicy mango with shrimp. The shrimps were so fresh and the drunken noodles we were told are freshly made daily. Each dish was delicious! My favorite was the spicy mango which was a great savory dish that was not too spicy and the mango was not overpowering or sweet. I will be back soon!

We were looking for a cozy and romantic place to have dinner on Valentine's Day and really hit the jackpot when we stumbled upon Thailicious. We had the nicest waitress who was very attentive. The food was outstanding and the portions were nice (shareable plates). We will definitely be back!

This little gem of a restaurant is mind blowing! The food is delicious and satisfying. A real must. Go to! The service was superb. We met Jan who talked with us throughout the evening and was a pleasure to speak with! I can't wait to go back. If you go tell Jan I say hello! The most delicious Thai food I have had to date. Except in Bangkok!

The food looked and sounded good but it didn't taste too good. Had pad Thai with duck and the duck was dry and seemed old. I've had much better Thai food I was very disappointed. The store was locked upon arrival and the waitress open door poked head out and asked how she could help us - thought it was very strange i obviously want to come in and eat- but we are in NYc with lots of crazies so she did explain when we were leaving why she keeps the door locked. She was very attentive and her service was great the place was clean and the food came out rather quickly. Not everyone in our party was happy with the taste of their food need more seasoning. Other than that it was good to be home in NYC!

Delicious both times I tried it. I've only done take-out, so I'll have to try eating in next. I had a Thai shrimp sweet & sour vegetable dish w/rice. It was great! My daughter had drunken noodles with chicken and enjoyed it as well. Will definitely be back!

First time eating here on a whim-- food was delicious. Staff was really nice as well. We ordered a variety spread of beef drunken noodles, shrimp pad Thai, Tom kha coconut chicken, crab fried rice, Green Papaya Salad, chicken wings, and crispy pork belly. Highlight was the crab fried rice; there was SO much crab meat, and the shrimp pad Thai. Also check in for free crab Rangoon (:

We found our way to Thailicious while on our recent NYC trip, and I am so glad we did! I was surprised that the restaurant door is always locked and you have to ring a bell to be admitted (probably noted in other reviews but we just read the overall rating and decided to try it) but just know that is standard there. What isn't standard, because it is OUTSTANDING, is the quality of food. We started off with crispy vegetable rolls which were tasty and housemade, but the star was the curry I ordered. We honestly had the best massuman curry of our lives at Thailicious, and we eat Thai food regularly. The layers of flavor from multiple spices brought complexity and a depth of rich flavor unlike anything I've ever tasted. As evidence of the multiple spices used to achieve that flavor, I did find a cinnamon stick in my curry. This is not "open Mae Ploy curry paste container and combine with coconut milk" sauce. And I know because I also buy prepared curry pastes for easy meals. This was so well done, and on top of the excellent food (my husband ordered another dish that was tasty as well but he ended up finishing my curry and also swooning over it) the service was great. The girl serving us was super friendly and personable; all around this was a winning meal, and a fantastic way to finish out our trip to NYC.

Walked in on a random Tuesday night, but boy was it a nice surprise! This is a really nice gem, good ambience, good service, food was authentic as well. I got the kow soy, pad Thai, and salad. Staff is very friendly, would recommend if you're in the area.

I love thailicious! It is an LES staple run by the best sisters - they really take care of their customers and support their community. Such good food !!

Out of five items ordered, I enjoyed two, tolerated one, and really disliked the last two dishes. It seems to be a one-woman show though - it's a small place, but only one person running around for everything. On a Friday night, we stopped by around 6PM, and even though we finished eating rather quickly, we stayed chatting for a long while afterwards and didn't feel rushed to leave (also because it was no where near full house as well). Maybe it's the aftermath of COVID, but the restaurant's front door is locked the whole time. There's a sign and doorbell on the front door that tells you to ring the bell for dine-in/take out, and the waitress will let you in to seat you or pass you the food. Outside, there was also a very loud homeless man that stayed there the entire night. Could be the reason why the doors are locked. Okay, on to the food. Writing from most enjoyable to least. Before I talk about the food, I have to say that the portions are abysmal for the price. I felt like I was eating lunch special portions. Sooo tiny. Not very shareable at all. Tom Yum Fried Rice with Tofu: this was the highlight of the dinner, with a nice spicy flavor. I would say this was the biggest dish as well with good amount of rice, but I barely had any tofu or other toppings though. Drunken Noodles with Chicken: this was pretty tasty, but I only got two bites :( it was just sooo small. It was spicy and good, but even for one person, I don't think it can fill you up. Shrimp Mama: Too much of the crispy noodle that it was just so hard and dry to eat. Duck Salad: Too sour Shrimp In Da Pot: wow I never knew vermicelli noodles could taste so bad. Whatever sauce this came in was pretty off-putting, our party of four didn't even touch this. It was the most expensive dish we ordered too and came with four pieces of shrimp, and all noodles.

The food here is amazing and the staff is so kind and friendly. They really care about their customers. Recommend for anyone looking for good Thai food in LES.

A charming Thai eatery indeed. Came here to see a couple friends. The owner was kind and attentive. Food was fast. So good. Come here when you need something spicy and homey.

Such an amazing experience here & really good food!! I ordered the pork ribs, roti, and drunken noodle. Everything was perfect! The vibes are also so cozy & service was great too, I would definitely come back. If you live here or just visiting LES, definitely try this place out!!

Not sure where are all these good review came from. Ordered a green papaya salad mild, what I got is a vinegar soaked chopped cabbage with a few slices of green papaya on top. The lychee duck curry has a nice flavor but there was only a few overcooked duck ( mostly duck skin) floating in the bowl. The worst thing was their burnt roti. When they serve it I couldn't believe they even have the guts to bring the roti to the table. It was all charred. Don't order their sexy pink drink, it tastes artificial, yak. Very disappointed.

I've been to Thailicious four times now, and without a doubt, it stands out as the best Thai restaurant in Manhattan. Jay, the owner, along with her husband Ken and sister Jan, has created an exceptional dining experience from the moment you step in. Their warmth, attentiveness, and friendliness have set the stage for numerous memorable visits. The ambiance is relaxed, featuring lively music and adorned with captivating Thai artwork. The menu is diverse, offering both traditional Thai dishes and inventive twists on classics. Regular updates to their specials menu consistently deliver delightful surprises. For starters, the Papaya Salad and Mr. Roti are personal favorites. The Papaya Salad bursts with freshness, while the Mr. Roti, a shareable plate with delectable Roti and coconut curry, is a standout. Moving on to main courses, the Tom Yum fried rice and Green Curry are my top choices. I prefer my food extra spicy, and the additional kick complements these dishes perfectly. The variety of protein options allows for delightful customization. Cap off the meal with their irresistible mango/banana sticky rice for dessert--a definite must-try. In summary, Thailicious earns my unequivocal praise. Discovering this gem has made it my preferred Thai food spot in NYC. Despite residing on the Upper East Side, I happily commute on the Q and F trains for a satisfying meal. If you're in search of authentic Thai cuisine crafted by exceptional people in a fantastic setting, Thailicious is the destination of choice.

Great taste and great service at Thailicious. Will definitely be looking to come again.

Can't recommend this spot in the EV enough. I know there are a lot of great options for Thai food In NYC but if you're in the area you can't go wrong with popping in here. Everything on the menu is great from the apps to the noodle and rice dishes. Having ordered just about all the menu items by now I can say I have never been let down once. Service is wonderful. The two sisters who own this spot are so welcoming and always come by to say hello and chat with us. It's a a great local spot. Nice little HH!

Was looking for food and stumbled upon here. Their papaya salad is fish sauce and spicy based style. The red curry and sticky rice is definitely a recommendation. I like variety so I ate the appetizer combination. Their noodles look popular so I definitely would try to eat their pad Thai, or pad siew next time.

THE BEST Thai food we've had in NYC! the prices are really reasonable with very large servings. great friendly service too we will be coming back for sure ! thank you so much . After a hard days work this is just what we needed for a great mid week meal

Food is so good. I ordered the chicken pad Thai because I'm basic, but you can tell they make their food here with so much care. Absolutely delicious. The staff are all incredibly nice, and the restaurant has a really nice ambiance. Will come back again and again!

Absolute hidden gem. Had the spicy basil shrimp wok stir fry. It was so flavorful. The atmosphere is so cute and we had amazing service. Highly recommend and wish I lived closer!

OMG! The pineapple fried rice is sooo good. The service, staff & ambience were great.

I've been to Thailicious a couple times and I always enjoy coming here. The decorations of the place is always nice to see, and there wasn't too many people today, so service was fast. The food tasted great as per usual, I enjoy getting their crab rangoon and Roti, but we didn't take many photos of our food because we were so hungry! Today we came for my friend's birthday, who I came with in the past, and the waiter remembered us and offered to surprise my friend for her birthday with this Fried Banana dessert! It was such a sweet gesture. Look forward in coming back again :)

Amazing customer service. She made sure we were taken care of without asking. The ambiance was fantastic with natural plants everywhere with excellent mood lighting. The plates were large and delicious.

Walked in randomly off the street on a Tuesday night, we got the house salad to start, it was fresh and the dressing was fabulous. Then we got the Pad See Ew and the Drunken Noodles, both were delicious. We ended with the mango sticky rice, some of the best I've ever had. The wait staff was super attentive, welcoming, and easy to chat with. A cozy little spot with good vibes all around. I can't wait to come back next time i'm in the neighborhood!

a decent neighborhood Thai spot. friendly staff and the food is good! it's a good spot to catch up with friends.

I really wanted to try this place out after walking past it a few days ago. We planned to have dinner there after an event and knew that it closed at 10:00pm. We got there at 9:00pm and were immediately told that the kitchen closes at 9:30 and asked to take takeout. I looked at my phone and said it's only 9pm and the server gave us attitude, but let us in. She slammed the menus on the table and tried to rush us out as soon as possible. The service wasn't the nicest, but the food was good. We got the Spicy Basil Thai Rice, Pad Sea EW, Thai Iced Tea, Red Curry, Curry Puffs, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Vegetable Dumplings. The Vegetable Dumplings were not our fav, but we really like Curry Puffs. My Roommate actually swears by those curry puffs. Maybe i'll come back for take out...

the best mango sticky rice i have ever had!! the owner was so friendly and welcoming. great service and food was perfectly portioned. quiet seat by the window was great for a quick dinner with a friend. great place if you're looking for good thai in the lower east side

The service and food here is always STELLAR! I love coming here, especially on days i need comfort food. One of the servers, Jay is an absolute delight and helped me so much on my order

We went in at around five on a Sunday night. We were the only ones in the place. The atmosphere is casual and pleasant. What we ordered: We started off with the Tom Yum soup and a green papaya salad. The flavor of the soup was amazing and the green papaya was on the tangy side which I liked. For a main we got the pad Thai to split. You have to judge a Thai restaurant by how good their pad Thai is (imo) which is why I gave them a 5/5. What made it stand out was the small noodles which allowed the dish to really absorb a lot of the sauce. Sometimes on pad Thai is made with a thick noodles they end up just turning into a big blob with no flavor. What really made our experience stand out with the service. Our waitress was so attentive and pleasant to be with. I am very excited to go back to try more of the dishes!

This is gonna be a good review... We decided to opt out of appetizers but the waitress told us the crab rangoons and the pot stickers were popular. For our dinner I ordered the beef noodle soup and my sister ordered the Pad Thai and Pad See-Ew because she couldn't decide which she wanted. It's a very reasonable decision in my opinion. Why limit your options? Well... the waitress thought otherwise... We couldn't finish the food and when we asked for to-go boxes, the waitress came back and said, "You guys did very good! You didn't eat lunch?" We awkwardly laughed. LOL This particular establishment apparently expects their customers to have 3 sips of soup and be satisfied. Aside from this, they were very welcoming. Going back to the food... very flavorful. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Pad See-Ew was better in my opinion but you can't go wrong with either! Beef soup... yum! Great portion size and very reasonable pricing. Ambiance is cute! Small and clean. Nothing note-worthy. Big question... will I return? Probably... but next time I'm gonna eat everything and say I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner and three snacks prior to coming.

Top tier Pad Thai and Pad See Ew! Cannot go wrong with this option. The vibe inside is perfect for a dinner date. The business is owned by two sisters - Go women! Jan is the owner I met and she was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend!

My family loves Thailicious. The food and service are both terrific and my daughters in particular cannot wait to go back! It can be difficult to find a place in the neighborhood that is welcoming to families, but Thailicious is accommodating for all.

JENNN !!!! Thank you for providing us with an amazing experience and the amazing mango sticky rice!!!!!! thank you thailicious and Jen for being amazing !!!!!

This is a great place to eat. The food is great. The atmosphere and the staff is just lovely. The owner is a sweetheart. This is definitely a great date night, small groups and even solo. This place is cozy. You get a lot for your money. I def recommend this place to everyone.
