Reviews of THEP Thai Restaurant (Restaurant)

Nance A

Really was going to Up Thai but they were close from 3:45 to 5 , was going to wait until they reopened but realized that it would be an hour so we decided to try THEP Thai... And was not disappointed. The food was delicious and for the price you get a enough to share per order. Beautiful little place , very friendly staff and quick service...a must try.

Santana Galvan

The place offers a vast range of delicious food. I loved dining here. Employees are always very nice, pricing is fair and the spot is always well organised.

Jason Westerkon

Delicious, spicy Thai food in a small yet well designed contemporary space. Staff are friendly, ample, and knowledgeable. The menu goes out of its way to ensure it has non-spicy, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. The prices and portion sizes are reasonable for the UES Disappointed that I saw several diners pushed from their tables because their HVAC system was causing condensation to drip from the "industrial" duct work.

Ari Weiss

Great food, great service. Clean, cozy place. Our go-to for Thai food.

Joanne Jahr

Went for lunch. Large numbers of "Millenial" types dining. Good service and what I had was tasty.

Marisela Palafox

Great food and atmosphere! Very attentive staff, not just one waiter is taking care of you, its a collective effort by all the workers to enhance your dining experience. Will definitely return!

Andrew Alloy

The Thai menu lists many options, and every selection we've tasted is a winner... attractively plated, too. Very comfortable and appealing interior, and outdoor dining available in season. Service is friendly and accommodating. Visited 3 times (opened fairly recently)

Melissa O'Connor

Tried something different from my go-to Pad See Ew and ended up with some DELICIOUS Panang Curry with Vegetarian Duck. We also split the THEP Platter as an appetizer between three people, which was the perfect amount. Unfortunately, took away a star as we couldn’t hear each other at all throughout the entire dinner. There was a loud group that contributed to this, but I think it would have been overly loud regardless.

Olivia Oliver

Food was very good! First time having pad thai and their Drunken Noodles were soooo good!! My new thai spot!

Ankit Shah

Great ambience and amazing food with decent portion size. Pretty quick service. Definitely worth a visit.

Nick Amparo

Cassandra Celestin

The food is delicious, the decor is beautiful.

JJ King

Awesome food here! We were trying to go to UpThai but couldn't get in so we walked a few blocks to THEP and it was totally worth it. Love the aesthetic as well.

Dave Fan

delicious pad thai, solid price, friendly service, great ambiance

Asho

The food was amazing, the place looks aesthetically pleasing, and I do recommend coming here!

Martina Rangl

We were a group of 11 and everyone was very satisfied with the food. They also have several vegan options and the cocktails were creative and tasty as well. Staff is swift and friendly. Recommended.

Lior Ashwal

Love it!!!! The place, The food, The vibe were so good!! The restaurant has a very unique decor, beautiful cocktails bar and lovely service. Definitely, I’ll be back!!!

Natasha Pippen

Cute place with WONDERFUL food. We had great service also. They are so quick and kind.

Vikram Moorjani

Massaman Curry is a must try. The portions are big and can mostly cater to 2 people. All the dishes we ordered were flavorful.

Scott McIntosh

Come here if you never want to be disappointed in Thai food. Ever. Every dish is amazing. Don't come here if you really don't like Thai food. You don't deserve this place.

Lana Kuang

Great food and good service. Tables are a bit close together. Can get noisy at times.

Alison Rabiej

Not only is the food delicious, really excellent customer service!! Made a dumb mistake and ordered for pick up and meant to order delivery, unable to leave to house to get to the restaurant. The woman on the phone was so nice, and made the switch right away for me. Thank you for such great hospitality! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Gurdia Patheja

I love the way they bring the dishes out to you.. Also I love the chicken satay and the papaya salad and the shrimp dumplings they are very tasty. This is why I gave it 3 stars

Kim Glasford

The decor is really nice. The food really good. It was a little spicy for me but I really enjoyed it. We went for my friend birthday and it was a really nice experience.

jojo jojo

If I could give a half a star I would, besides the fact that these people were RUDE their service was fast. My (black) friends got to the place and tried to make a quick reservation knowing that me and friends were running late. The lady at the front door exact words was (so I've been told) "yeah that's fine just come back and you guys will be set for the night". When we finally got there we're told that what my friend did earlier wasn't a reservation and that we would have to wait 30 mins. We walked around and came back and a table still wasn't available. We stayed out in the cold and waited an HOUR AND A HALF to be seated. Our service was fast but they were rude towards the end. After paying for the check I went to go use the bathroom and when I came out my girls were not at the table anymore. They weren't even in the restaurant anymore. After I went to the bathroom they were IMMEDIATELY told to sit at the bar and the waitress that came to one of my girls picked up her "to go" bags and threw it on the bar, then they were told to leave because more people are coming in. An extra five minutes of using the bathroom won't hurt after we had to wait an HOUR AND A HALF to get seated. They were rude towards me and my friends. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Kobe E

This place gives first-rate service and delicious food. My favourite restaurant ever. The meals came out rapidly and the rates are affordable. Highly recommended.

Jim Sehr

Very good thai food. As is typical for Manhattan, it's a little crowded

Janet Guthrie

We had a party of 15 with one waitress. Need a another one for a party of that size. Pad Thai was dry but waitress was nice. Very busy place.

Jennifer Pineda

The fried pineapple rice is so yummy. Service is great. The papaya was a bit spicy for me and they had no problem changing it with no extra charge.

Verasak Sangsiri

Friendly service and excellent food. Great selection of cocktails as well. Will definitely be back again.

Michelle Auger

Great food, good atmosphere! The staff is friendly and helpful. Long tables, so you might be sitting next to or across from strangers. Make friends!

Lamar Chavez

This place gives a free Thai tea for a rating ! 4 stars from me. I love Thai tea. Laughing out loud ! food is good too... service is good. Be patient during lunch hour cause it gets full .. I recommend pad Thai

Tapan Desai

I live around the area and Thep has turned into my go-to Thai place. Really good food and great cocktails. In addition, it's a great place to dine-in. I would highly recommend their Pad Thai and Papaya salad.

Joseph Tadros

Best Thai resturant in NYC

Jan McC

Best food... Best restaurant

Amber Wacker

Food was super good and atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Has a nice cocktail selection and the menu is diverse without being overwhelming

Thomas Malanik

I've had better places in Brooklyn. Brooklyn forever.

Love H

Wow! Never had anything like this in my ENTIRE life! The food was so delicious. I'm an avid Thai food eater and I can tell you that this is the place you want to eat at! Their service was excellent. They were very polite and efficient from beginning to end! 5 star experience!

Manu B

Overall great restaurant. Vegetarian friendly as well. And great service. Amazing food to top it off. Will definitely be back

Matthew Beard

Delicious food, fabulous cocktails, and friendly service. Great place for dinner on the Upper East Side!

Piyush Puri

Had great Thai iced tea!

solcerl

Customers are suppose to feel relaxed and welcomed. Not wait for a long time and be rushed when there are other seats available. Waitress were rude and pretty much rushed. Not much communication.

Steven Smart

Food was great, definitely recommend. Until next time!

Molly Harris

Really quick service and pretty atmosphere. The food was good too!

Jennifer DeJesus

I had the honey pork ribs and it literally tasted like they reheated everything in the microwave. The ribs were chewy and gross. It took me about five minutes to chew each piece. This place is not worth the price. It’s basically frozen food reheated.

Kasintorn Honglawan

Just try out this place a couple of days ago. Really great atmosphere, services and especially the food. The food here is not 100% Thai but it come in a more western mix which I think it best for New York. The place also looked new and welcoming. If you have the chance, try it out.

Deepika Prakash

I'm a big fan of tea leaf salad and this place definitely has the best version of it in NYC! I had the papaya salad and tea leaves salad here. They were both great. Definitely coming back here soon!!

Sherean Munim

Awesome food, Divine!!

Lisa Standke

Delicious food, inventive cocktails, great atmosphere. It's a little pricey, but not out of the norm for the upper east side. Come in for a drink and friendly conversation with the bartender, or take your date out to dinner to wow them with the quirky presentation of the entrees.

Kevin Cheng

Lovely restaurant with a good menu selection and friendly staff but their dishes were a bit too sweet for my liking.

Robert Lee

Delicious Thai place. They have great lunch specials for around $12 (comes with an appetizer and salad/soup).

Eric Mok

Food was pretty good especially the Pad See Ew and the Bass. They are thoughtful in presentation as every thing is garnished with nice colors with specific plating. I recommend ordering a variety of dishes and sharing them family style with your party. More enjoyable when you can try more.

SAMEER MANSUKHANI

Awesome food and service

Trenton Downs

Surely a spot worth stopping by, the food is excellent and fresh, the pricing is affordable and it is regularly clean there. Keep up the good work.

Li Ming Geh

This is a lovely restaurant and the people here actually care. Did have one experience here that wasn’t the best (in terms of food quality) but they have totally made it up since.

Apeksha Vora

Great food and quick service. Definitely suggest the lunch special!

Dongin Shin

My new fav Thai pot

Raymond Cruz

Food was delicious, will return!

Riva Tourani

Only not 5* because we visited with our baby and our server acted disgusted with her. He stared at her and us looking like he wanted to kill us. Who doesn't look at a baby and smile? If not, don't look. He really needs to be fired or go into another line of business. I described him to a friend who had also been here and he knew exactly who I was talking about - that's how infamous he is. Guy with piercings, a fashionista apron, a strut and a permanent scowl on his face. Real shame, ruined our meal. Doesn't even know how to remove tableware without cutlery spilling off the plate. Otherwise, food is delicious and cocktails of course are amazing. Could really taste the nutmeg in my Dodge Punch and loved the serving style. Food was the only thing served with a smile (from a kitchen member) and the only staff member that smiled at us. Super fast service, a little too fast - server asked us if everything was OK before we'd had a chance to eat or drink anything. Unfortunately will not return due to this server, totally spoiled the ambience and experience with his coldness. None of the other servers seemed happy either. Just stressed out.

Andrew Ghassan

Very good thai food and service

J Ann

My new go to place. Food is DELISH!

Marlene Edmonds

Lunch menu reasonably priced. Ice atmospher m an food service

Edna Mascreen

Loved the food and nice ambience. Wish the waitresses smiled a bit.

Kevin Tong

Good food in good atmosphere, not too long wait

Rosanna Miller

It was my first time visiting THEP it was amazing. Friendly staff . I will be back there soon the cocktails are amazing #thereddragonlady#tryit

Alex Hügel

Felt like a rushed dining experience. Really enjoyed the authentic Thai Food. Service could have improved.

CHLO GOT FLO

Perfection: service, quality, price point, bar tenders, host and overall experience.

Ros B

Really good Thai place! The ambiance is very nice here, everything is really nicely decorated. Food was great as well. I got the kra-pow puffs which were really good. They are these fried pastries with meat, cheese, and veggies inside. I haven't had these anywhere else and they were delicious. I also had the basil fried rice, this was also pretty good. It was decently spicy, I'd say a little spicier than your average Thai place. My only very minor complaint is you cannot get pork with the fried rices which is my favorite, but that's very minor. Service is great, and the prices aren't too bad. It's not the cheapest Thai place I've been to but it is also not the most expensive. One big plus side, this place has a ton of outdoor seating which is great during the summer.

Stanley Qiu

Maybe I ordered the wrong things but it did not live up to the reviews. Went here with some friends so I did try a variety of the menu. Food was mediocre, bland, or strange. Definitely can get better Thai food for cheaper elsewhere. The atmosphere was very nice though, and everything was well presented and attractive.

Wei Yuan Chen

I accidentally broke a glass. The waiter helped us clean the broken glass right away. He even served us the same drink! Highly recommended!

C.S. Drake

Excellent Thai for either the standard fare or some more unique offerings. Huge portions at a good price point for the ues

Kiran Vanaja

We were 4 of us and I decided to get their porkbelly in the ginger and peanut curry. The flavor was amazing but the porkbelly was cold. We asked the waitress if it was meant to be cold and she explained that it was meant to be served hot. Quite possibly the chef pulled out the precooked porkbelly from the fridge and didn't heat it well enough inspite of taking almost half and hour to get to the entrees. In general this place has a good vibe and everyone else quite enjoyed their dish.

Shish Mohammad

Great service, amazing food; date night spot of choice

Nicole Dupont

Amazing! Great atmosphere and good service. Make sure you get the red curry dish and tom yum soup. So good!

Monica Rosenfeld

Excellent service and very good food.

Jeff Spade

Outstanding Thai food on the upper east side! Flavorful dishes and gluten free options! Outstanding service in a warm and elegant setting.

G P

One of my favorite places on UES!!

Julissa Contreras

This will be my new Thai restaurant. It is very authentic, many options and great staff. I really like the decor of the place.

Christopher Maravilla

I have probably been here like a dozen times and just always forget to leave a review. Seriously awesome Thai good. There Tom Kha soup is on point and absolutely delicious. Their pad see'ew is solid. Ambiance is amazing. I think I like this place best in the summer and fall evenings where they open the doors and have a lot of natural light coming in. They should basically have a table for me as a regular local :)

tasya innian

Best thai restaurant in the area! Been here so many times and can’t stop coming back! Their decor is beautiful and very friendly service! Love love love!

Connor

Easily best Thai on the UES, and hoenstly, maybe the best Thai I have ever had. It's like a food museum and every dish is a masterpiece. The cocktails are gorgeous too. This is my favorite spot on the UES, I cannot say enough good about this place. Would go here everyday if I could afford it.

dean kaltsas

Great food.... Great me place for the neighborhood

Chelsea Ewing

Wow! Really awesome thai food and WONDERFUL customer service. The atmosphere is cool and they did an awesome job with the decor; even the bathroom was cute. My pad thai was so delicious and my husband's basil chicken was super tasty!! Also, they have fun cocktails and happy hour!

Honey Ahijevych

Delicious! Fantastic service but most importantly, the best Thai ever!!!

Maggie Dokic

All 5 of us enjoyed our meals! Cute decor, good service. We were there on a Friday at 6pm and didn't have to wait to get in. Yet it wasn't empty and had people coming and going the whole time we were there. The appetizer platter was fantastic. All crunchy deliciousness. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes are good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they had absolutely no dessert options.

Shukhrat Maks

Great service, decor and appetizer but I got order paid thai with noodles, meal had very strong raw chicken smell and taste. I tried chicken and noodles, they were really raw chicken taste, couldn't eat. Maybe my plate was like that

Yangying Ye

I love their Tom Yum soup!

Lee Leonard

Fantastic Thai selection with good service.

Frank Carenza

The food and decor are fabulous as is the service too.

Pooja Rao

One of the best experiences we have had. To start off there was a large number of people waiting and we thought we would have to wait long. Though the estimated wait time given to us was 30mins, we got a table in less than 10 mins 1. Amazing ambiance and polite staff 2. Tasty and delicious food 3. Love their presentation and the cutlery - very presentable. Definitely would recommend this place.

Sandy Dubon

I love this place from the very first time, I like everything I had so far. I already lost count how many times I been there in few months. Food is delightful, staff is very attentive; they welcome me with a smile always checking on me, I love the music, decoration, and the most important thing for me, place looks clean. What I love the most is that everytime me my husband go they have something new to try. I just love it

Juan Acevedo

I love my beautiful dish and it was delicious..;)

Naz M.

Excellent Thai food, great service and vibe. Decor and ambiance are warm and inviting. Especially loved the hammered copper pots on the walls and hanging green plants. The food was delicious, we had the Basil stir fry and red curry. Classics but done nicely and not too greasy which can often be the case. Great for any occasions, including sharing a casual meal at the bar with someone who's company you enjoy while eating hearty dishes prepared with taste and presented beautifully.

Constance Barut

Food and service were excellent! I warmly recommend

Kristen Dufauchard

This place was amazing! The food was great and the service was top notch. Our waitress, the manager, and the bartender all gave us phenomenal service! I will be returning for sure.

Chan Woo Park

I visited on Saturday evening for dinner. We arrived around 6:30 pm and they only had one seating available at the big table and another by the bar. We chose the bar, but it was crowded with the people waiting for the table. . For appetizer, we had the Kra-Pow Puff. There were 3 pieces and it was amazing. The cover was soft and crispy. Inside was filled with minced chicken. The sauce was a bit sweet and vinegary, but it complemented the puff very well. It was also served in a very pretty metal plate. . We shared green curry with long island duck and pineapple fried rice with chicken. I really liked the green curry. I liked the level of spiciness and the taste of curry. The best part was the duck, which was so tender and flavorful. The plate they served was also pretty. The pineapple fried rice was good too but after eating green curry, it didn't taste as flavorful as green curry. I still liked the way they decorated the dish, which reminded me of Olaf.

Vandana Apte

I was very impressed by the quality of the food--it might be my new favorite Thai red curry in the city. The presentation was beautiful, and the decorations around the restaurant were nice as well. If you sit inside though, be prepared for a very noisy and cramped environment. Our table of two basically became a table of 4 because we were sitting basically on top of the two people right next to us. Luckily, the food and quick service made up for that.

Jason Dilan

The most delicious roast duck I have ever had.

Aluino Bolton

Everything about this place was magnificent! They served the best and authentic Thai food in NY. My favourite was the beef Pad Thai, it was absolutely delicious! Staff were amazing and polite too! Will definitely go back!

Kelcy Griffin

Bleh... poor quality thai food. The ratings are misleading. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and the rice was the best part. I wouldn’t come back to this place. Its got a nice ambience and good service but food isn’t worth the price. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Michal Zecher

THEY COULD CARE LESS THAT OUR ORDER WAS WRONG. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ALLERGIES, SPICE LEVEL, THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIX IT AFTER WAITING OVER AN HOUR FOR OUR FOOD. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Dana Fournier

Michelin Star taste but diner budget? Gotcha covered! THEP Thai Restaurant is casual, comfortable, and non-pretentious. I had a Farong hot cocktail, which was adorable and well balanced and delicious. I had the yaowaraj noodles which definitely sated my thirst for flavor packed, wide noodles. Also tried the purple rice pudding which was surprisingly delicious! So if you're looking for affordable but good, come here!

Christina Maiello

Best Thai place in upper east side. The food is just incredible. The restaurant it self is cute, small and cozy. Not much room between table but there won’t be much talking when the food comes. I also order online all the time because they have a 10% discount. Try everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.

Amy James

Came in for a meal had Shrimp Dumplings, Avocado Massaman curry and Thai Sausage Fried Rice. Super delicious food will be coming back for more dishes.

Anthony Slater

Great atmosphere little small, service was good loving the decor.

Brittny Gifford

Food is phenomenal! Tastes like Thailand and is nothing like the other Thia places. There's a bit of a wait and the resturant is small but totally worth it.

Olena Sidlovych

Great place. Delicious food and cocktails. The spicy Udon Noodles and Pad Thai were fantastic. Vegan options available for most dishes. Loved it!

Scot Fishman

Best Thai food on the Upper East Side and possibly the entire City. It's that good and that nice.

Jennifer Cabrera

Food was delicious, and service was very polite. I loved the hanging lamps and plants! What else do you need for a great Thai food night

JAZER

Good lunch menu with great prices

Daniel Tapinis

I have been going here for over a year awesome food and prices are very reasonable especially lunch

Olivia Preston

Got a moldy tomato in my spicy chicken salad and no barbecue sauce when asked . Didn't get any kind of sauce. I was there with my friends, they had hamburgers which were too salty. Avoid this place, too expensive for the service they provide.

Luz Ozuna

Food was SO YUMMY! Presentation was beautiful. Such a great gem of a restaurant on the UES. Definitely going back

Michele Weston

Incredible Thai food- especially their appetizers- right on point and drunken noodle or pad thai or their curry dishes are great with either giant whole shrimp OR try the green curry with avocado with cut up chicken. Very quick and still hot and packed well..

Janice Hayes

Tasty appetizers and loved the Moscow Mule.

Golan Bar Or

Poor and really not tasty food chicken tastes like it passed away on a natural. way (in case you didn't understand this is not a positive phrasing) and the fact that they published an happy hour on the cocktails but charged me fully would not encourage me to ever come again

Danielle Herlund

My favorite Thai restaurant in NYC. Their Khao Soi is a MUST and when offered, get the chicken on the bone. Service is polite and fast which is a bonus!

plēthōrē WH

It's a good restaurant, i enjoy the food and drink. The bartender was awesome. He knows his stuff.

Julie Tanser

The food is so good every time, I just keep coming back, and I don't even live in the area!! I always get more food than I need because I want leftovers for the next day, and I love the variety. And everyone who works here goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and bring the food as quickly as possible. My biggest problem is that because I like Thep Thai restaurant so much, I am not checking out the other restaurants in the neighborhood! Maybe I will eventually get around to that. Right now I am quite content. Thank you, Thep Thai and all of you that makes this place so special! Julie

Yoav Glidai

Best Thai restaurant on the UES !!! The food is delicious, service is phenomenal. Cocktails were excellent ! Really good value for money. We absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back many many times ! I recommend the Chiang Mai dish (you can ask to get chicken with no bone)

Lesley Shneier

Small but nice. Not crowded. I had the tamarind duck

michael cohen

Great food, reasonable prices. Looking forward to going back. Another great meal on June 20, 2019.

Simon Saavedra

Great service. Great atmosphere and the food delish. We are definitely going back again. The only bad thing so many great dishes is hard to make up your mind on what to order.

Marshall Shaffer

Had the Hung Lay - a pork belly in curry with ginger/peanut - and found it delicious. Service was a little overbearing at times, but worth it for the great food at a pretty good price.

Jeremy Welsh

Some of the best thai in the neighborhood, both at the restaurant and for delivery. And Pad Thai done just the way I like it (not too tangy). Great addition.

Kaushik Mody

Good food. Friendly service but can get slow if they get busy. Good drinks as well. Very vegetarian friendly

Paulie

Food was wonderful. Previously we catered pad thai and spring rolls from here for the staff at new york presbyterian... they raved so much that i wanted to try for myself. It was real good and i would order frkm them again anytime i am in the neighborhood.
