Koo Thai (Upper West Side) — Restaurant in New York

Just had one of the best meals I've had in a while at this new gem in the neighborhood, and I had to leave a review! I ordered the grilled chicken bánh mì, and wow — talk about fresh and flavorful. The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, the veggies were crisp and vibrant, and the chicken was so tender and well-seasoned. Every bite had that perfect balance of texture and flavor. I also tried the beef phở, and honestly, it was soul-soothing in the best way. The broth was light, clear, and full of depth — none of that heavy or overly salty stuff you sometimes get elsewhere.

The vibe of the restaurant is really nice too, super cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of those spots I’ll keep...

$18 for Pad Thai in far UWS, seriously? You’d have to be a fresh from Ohio Columbia student to fall for this. This place has been open for like 2 seconds and already has fifty 5 star reviews from people who have only 1 review on their account LOL. People really are this gullible. I’d say this restaurant was a scam but the profit margins for restaurants aren’t worth it. Pretty scummy to welcome yourself to the neighborhood with fake reviews and hilariously...
