LENOXTHAI — Restaurant in New York

Wow this place surprised me. I was looking for a Thai restaurant to eat at with my family and this spot blew me away.

It is a small cozy little joint located at the bottom of the upper east side. Due to the size it is limited seating. Can possibly fit around 12 people or so. There's a nice little mural that someone painted. The menus on the TV are bright with clear pictures.

I noticed they get plenty of door dash/Uber eats, etc.

Our hostess was super sweet and caring. She attended to our needs and was very helpful. I had a question about what one of the dishes was and she looked it up on her phone to show me what it was.

The food definitely blew me away. It was surprisingly good. We had the crispy spring rolls, classic fried rice(Chicken), pad Thai (chicken), and a mango avocado salad. The fried rice was amazing. I've always prefer Thai fried rice compared to other Asian fried rices. It didn't taste super greasy and it had the right amount of eggs and chicken and vegetables. The salad was perfectly riped. A great combo of mango and avocado with onions/cashews and an Asian sauce. Very fresh and delicious. The crispy spring rolls came in a set of 4. They tasted great are also a nice size, not too small. It was paired with a sweet chili sauce for dipping.The pad Thai was delicious 🤤 not too dry and just the right amount of oil. The noodles were cooked perfectly. The portion was a great size. I ended up taking the fried rice and pad Thai in a to go container. She was nice enough to box up the food for us.

We also ordered Thai tea. It was the final piece of the puzzle to balance out the spicy meals.

We definitely recommend this place. Everyone please try it. Would definitely try again if we're...

This place is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered food to be delivered and when it was significantly late, I tried to call the restaurant. The phone rang and rang and nobody answered. I attempted to call 3 times. Finally I received a call from my doorman that the food was coming up. But guess what?? It never did. Because despite the address being ON THE BAG, the delivery person brought it to the wrong apartment apparently. When I called the restaurant back, someone FINALLY picked up and told me (after I had to explain multiple times what happened) that they were very sorry and that they would send a new order. The original delivery person called me and could not speak enough English to tell me where the food was. Once again I had to call the restaurant, and was told the delivery person left the food with the doorman. I called the doorman and the food is not there!! I told the woman on the phone that I just wanted a refund at this point and she hung up on me!! Suffice it to say we will never order from this place again!! What a mess - I don’t see them staying in...

UPDATE Very Friendly staff! I came with my mom from MSK and we were greeted and welcomed very warmly, even helped us order and describe some of the menu items to my mom. One of the best Thai Ice teas I’ve had and I’ve been to Thailand! Had to add what was left of the food! Had the Crab meat fried rice - flavorful fried rice and is a good stand alone but also great as a side meal, sweet chili wings - can't go wrong with wings they were flavored not crispy but more like sautéedby the time we got to them and were cooked well, crispy pork belly - nice snack appetizer that was addictiveto eat, Si Krong Moo Thod (pork ribs) - meaty flavorful ribs that did NOT get stuck in your teeth came with a plum like sauce that was sweet and sour same for the pork belly, chicken pad thai a staple and I could have had a WHOLE platter full of it. Didn't disappoint at all, & the wonton noodle soup, a whole meal and experience all in itself! I couldn'tchoose which ingredient i liked the most but of course the wontons were the star. Highly recommend WILL BE...
