Café Chili - Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in New York

Came here on a Friday evening for dinner with my gf. Compared to a lot of the Thai restaurants in NYC, the atmosphere is more on the romantic side. Soft classical music played in the background with candles lit on every table.

Drinks, we got the Summer Pineapple Punch ($6) and Raspberry Peach Lemonade ($6). Both were refreshing. If I had to choose one, it would be the Sumer Pineapple Punch.

We tried a variety of unique items that we thought was only available at this restaurant as well as dishes recommended by the staff.

We started off with the All Flavors Thai Snack. This consisted of roasted coconuts, fresh lime, red onion, ginger, and peanuts. In one bite, you're supposed to be able to experience sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and bitter. For sure have never had anything like this in any Thai restaurants.

The Spicy Thai Basil Minced Chicken w Sunny Side up Egg ($18) was another recommended dish. Regardless of its simplicity, it's a pretty good dish. One entree dish you cannot go wrong is the Kao Soi ($18) which is a Northern Thai style curry egg noodle w chicken. The chicken is a huge drumstick and the meat is fall off the bone good. It is also very filling and the noodles, including the fried noodles on top, were great.

For dessert we had to get the OG Blue Butterfly Pea Sticky Rice w Sweet Mango ($9) aka Mango Sticky Rice. The presentation and plating itself was done very picturesque. If you're looking for some more flavorful dessert, I'd recommend the Thai Pearl ($9). This dish is sweet and will also be salty when you pour the liquid that comes on the side.

Aside from the food, service is great. We got to meet the owners, Peanie and Gary, whom are super friendly. They will greet you when you first walk in and will walk you out, like how grandparents would when their kids come visit. If you get the chance to chat with them, especially Gary, they'll tell you all about Thailand. They'll be excited for you if you're planning a trip to Thailand and give you...

Craving some Sumptuous Thai Food? Then look no further -Cafe Chilli is your choice and it is located on Court Street easy walk if you live in the neighborhood or short walk from trains. Worth the Trip!

I have been going to this place almost 1, maybe 2 years now, time flies so not quite sure which it is. But each time I go I am always satisfied and never disappointed. If you are hungry and not sure what you are in the mood for… the Cafe Chili is the place. You are sure to find a delicious meal that will satisfy your hunger!

They have a wide selection of appetizers/starters as well as main course and deserts. We usually select a few options and share…Some of our favorites are the Pretty Package, Satay Chicken and for the main the Ginger or Three Flavor Snapper-all snappers are just yummy!

We have tried different items each time and all are really good. Kudos to the chef for being consistent. The owners-Mr.Gary and Ms.Jet are always there unless gone for vacation, but they are so involved as well and make sure you are enjoying yourself.Very Warm People who take great pride in their establishment.Jeffery who I have been seeing lately is a cool server, pleasant and friendly.

The ambience is always quite peaceful, some restaurants are always too busy, but this one has the right clientele popping in right throughout the day. We also have our preferred eating spot by the door, but we also switch it up sometimes. In the warmer months they also have outdoor dining available.

You also get value for your money!

Overall I just LOVE this place… because my hunger for great food is always satisfied! The food is yummy in my tummy. Try it for yourself, you...

This review is for the afternoon tea. Food: Savory dishes were relatively good. However some were served lukewarm/cold Sweet dishes were very sweet. Most were meh, not bad but not good.

Price: something like $35-40 which is pretty good for afternoon tea

Service: we made a reservation for afternoon tea. They gave us regular menus when we arrived and hadn’t prepared anything beforehand. they didn’t give us the menu or serve us despite only two other tables being filled. I had to ask for the menu and they said they took the liberty of selecting things for us instead of giving us the choice (which is fine, but if they have a menu not sure why they wouldn’t show us) service was extremely slow. Waitress never helped us without asking. Food took forever to come even though they served some of the hot food lukewarm/cold. they had some person decorating the front of the store who constantly left the door open after being asked to keep it closed. It was extremely cold in the restaurant. when asking to pay, we gave them two cards and asked to split. They charged it all on one card and tried to keep the other card.

I don’t think they are malicious but definitely incompetent. Tea wasn’t good enough to come back for, definitely not with the service. Maybe the regular Thai food is better but I’d probably stay away unless...
