Enthaice Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in New York

4.5 stars. Our first impression of this restaurant was promising. The restaurant is lovely and cozy. We loved the chandeliers of spoons and cups, such a cool piece! There is small bar in the back of the restaurant. Tables are laid out nicely and doesn’t feel overly crowded even at busy times, as was the case when we visited for the first time this past weekend. Also, it was nice to see a lot of families with kids dining here and everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. Here’s what we ordered:

BBQ Chicken: grilled half chicken with papaya salad, steamed vegetables, sticky rice and sweet chili sauce. The chicken was slightly dry, but the papaya salad was money! It had nice tang flavor and wasn’t swimming in liquid. It was slightly spicy which I liked.

Combo Appetizer for Two: chicken & shrimp dumplings, chicken satay, crab rangoon and spring rolls. My favorite from this were the crab rangoon. It was perfectly fried, light and crispy. I really appreciated all the different sauces that came with this dish. Some of items were a bit bland, like the chicken & shrimp dumplings, but were saved by sauces.

Lemongrass Pork Chop: grilled pork chop with lemongrass with steamed vegetables and white rice. This came with two big pieces of pork chop. Wasn’t fan of the presentation with the brown gravy sauce smeared on the plate but it was a yummy dish nonetheless.

Chicken Pad Thai: thin rice noodles with peanuts, bean sprouts, scallion, egg and bean curd. This was my favorite dish from our meal. Noodles were cooked right and was slightly sweet.

Fried Ice cream: scoop of vanilla ice cream deep fried with strawberries and blue berries. This was flambéed at the table. Fried and flambéed seems almost redundant but made for a really striking presentation. I wished it had had more fruit otherwise highly recommend this dish.

Staff was very attentive; our waters were refilled often, and they checked in on us several times. I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes...

I don't usually review places unless I've been there at least twice, but this one is well-earned! The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the restaurant was accomodating to dietary needs. The outdoor seating is also cute and much appreciated since Covid levels are quite high right now. I brought my friend here for a farewell dinner since she's moving away. We both have dietary needs and I called ahead to make sure they could accomodate. We really appreciated that their menu marks vegetarian and gluten free options. Plus the staff graciously worked with us on my allergies to garlic and onion. Our server was very attentive and sweet. She made sure we didn't feel rushed to leave since we were taking a while to talk and eat. We asked her to take a photo of us and she went out of her way to take several. The food was also great! They had a lot of vegan options, some of which I hadn't seen before at Thai restaurants. The prices are reasonable, even competitive compared to others in the area. We got lychee thai teas and split the summer rolls, subbing the sauce for plum sauce. I got the Sauteed String Beans & Eggplant and my friend got the Peanut Curry. The dishes were well-presented and the portions were generous. Make sure you note your spice level because their default curry spice may surprise you 😂 I'll definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely last...

Ambiance (5/5): I loved the cute design with teapots and flowers. There's both indoor and enclosed outdoor dining. Brightly lit and open space. The tables felt spaced apart that we weren't eating on top of each other. During lunch hours on a weekend, there were only 4 tables of guests so there wasn't much noise. Service (5/5): There was more than enough wait staff to dining guest ratio that we were served by multiple individuals at lightening pace! They were very friendly and welcoming. Massamam Curry + Roti (5/5): There was so much flavor to the curry and a creaminess that complimented wonderfully with the fresh roti! I could definitely been happy to have had this dish as my main. Khao Soi (4/5) - this classic northern Thailand dish of Chiang Mai resembled the same taste profile as that of my visit. The broth was rich, blasts of flavorful, and creamy. My only qualm was the unwieldly size of the two chicken drumsticks that made it a little difficult to hold and eat. However, the drums were not completely flavored through due to the thickness. The price point to portion was immensely worth the price. Pad Kee Mao (5/5): There's a lovely kick to the dish but also dynamic flavor to it. You can definitely taste the wide range of herbs and seasonings used. I definitely plan on ordering from...
