This is a must try in NYC. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've eaten here (pad Thai, drunken noodles, crab & basil fried rices, satay, pad see ew, thep platter, curry). Also for as busy as it can get, I've never had any trouble getting a table at the last minute or with their waitlist. Definitely recommend getting the THEP platter as a starter to try a bunch of their best apps!

Mind was a great server and the food was great especially the kee mao. We also got the papaya salad which was good

I've been to this place a couple of times and the food and drinks are solid. I've tried the drunken noodles, appetizers, and other dishes - all were good. The service is decent, but they're a bit too quick to bring the check. The atmosphere's nothing special. It's your typical NYC restaurant, packed tight with tables. We had to move our table to sit down. Overall, I'd recommend it. Someone from LumLum, another good Thai spot in Midtown West, recommended Thep to us.

Came here for sunday dinner. I loved the vibes here. Staffs are so nice. The food is really tasty. The service were nice. Ploy took care for us and shes really attentive and friendly. Another best thai food in town!!!

Thep Thai truly lives up to its reputation! I stopped in for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised to find no wait, despite its cozy, intimate setting. The menu offered a wide range of tempting options, but I ultimately chose the Crispy Pork Basil Rice. The dish was beautifully presented with a perfectly cooked egg--slightly runny, just how I like it--and a side of spicy Thai fish sauce. The crispy pork skin was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. While the spice level was moderate, I personally would've enjoyed a bit more heat. Overall, I highly recommend Thep Thai and can't wait to return to explore more dishes from their impressive menu!

Everything went well. Great ambiance Good staff The service is very pleasant The food is very good.

Great food here! The ambience here is also dark in a very great way. And the dumplings with peanuts in them-- they are BLUE! And taste good. I would recommend also the Thai salad here and also the Khao Soi here! Will try to come back to try the pad Thai and the drunken noodles! I also really love our server Gift! She was a pleasant surprise!

Elegant decor and inventive Thai dishes await your visit at this busy UESider, where you can't make reservations and need to sign up in a waiting list. We went at a weird time (4pm) on a Sunday afternoon and didn't have to wait. By the time we left, a few people were already waiting for a table (even at 5pm). Expect a rushed service. Although they're not rude, they constantly come to your table making sure you order as fast as possible. We were asked 4 times if we were ready to order, and it only took 10 minutes to navigate their menu for our choices. The food came in less than 2 minutes, even the entree. It wasn't steaming hot, but it was good nonetheless. Spare ribs: tender and really yummy. Listed as "bites" on the menu, it's a sizable portion of 4 succulent skillfully marinated pork spare ribs. Get them. Crispy calamari: I had to order this for my 6-year old daughter who would eat little else. They were fine. Seared duck in red curry: very good. $30 well spent. Somehow, pineapple and lychee work perfectly in this sweet red curry. The duck is brought perfectly medium rare and you'd bathe in that curry sauce if you could (luckily there's plenty). Overall, it's not a cheap meal ($70 before tip for just those 3 dishes), but the ribs were delicious and the duck something I'd never had before. They have lots of dishes I'd like to try, so I think I'll go back to try some. But don't go if you want to take your time eating: they're fast and furious.

Checked out THEP Thai and they have such a beautiful interior and outdoor dining setup. The decor creates an intimidate and romantic ambiance. The Pad Thai was amazing however the Pad See Eew didn't live up to my expectations. Would definitely stop by to try other items from their menu!

Thep Thai is always a reliable and delicious option for Thai food on the upper East side. This is a popular spot that usually has a long wait time. I came on a Friday night around 8:30pm and was luckily seated right away. We were seated outside and it was heated. The service was very attentive. We ordered the herb wings as an appetizer. It was crispy on the outside, yet soft and juicy on the inside. The herbs were flavorful and the sauce was sweet adding dimension to the wings. I enjoyed the khao soi as well. The chicken on the bone is the classic way of ordering as recommended on their menu. It was cooked perfectly. The chicken was soft and absorbed the sauce of the khao soi. The noodles were not overcooked and the crispy noodles provided a fun change of texture. I like the khao soi here compared to other Thai establishments because the sauce is not overpowered by the rich and creamy elements it has. We also enjoyed the drunken noodle with beef and pad Thai with shrimp. Both noodle dishes were flavorful and saucy. Overall, the dining experience at Thep Thai considering taste, price, and friendly service is why I keep coming back for more.
