Seth Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

I came in on a Tuesday at around 2:20pm to get some lunch.

Very light filled. Lots of windows for natural light. I came in for some appetizers and ended up getting the lunch special.

Chicken Pad Thai + an appetizer ( steamed dumplings)

It all Tastes very good. The steamed dumplings were spot on and the pad Thai a bit too sweet for my linking but still tasty over all.

I tried the lychee Thai tea- very refreshing. It contains no milk like the original Thai.

I also go the crispy duck rolls but was severely disappointed in the amount of duck that was placed in the roll and it sucks because the roll and the veggies inside were great. But a tiny piece of duck did not justify its $11 price point.

I called the server over and told him there’s not nearly enough duck in it. He replied that’s how it’s made. To which I replied that it’s misleading. The server was nice enough to remove it from my bill and my table as I was disappointed amount of the crispy duck inside. I was pleased that he quickly offered to remove the dish seeing as I was unhappy with it.

The duck was one tenth of the entire dish. About the size of a laffy taffy split in two. And all crisp no fat no meat. It was a large size as well. So if you’re more looking for the essence of duck it’s perfect for you.

Overall I would return for a quiet dine...

TL;DR: Much lower quality than Zenith, esp the curry puffs and dumplings.

I was a huge fan of Zenith, prob ate there 2x-3x a month. I was disappointed when they were suddenly closed yet hopeful when a new place SETH, opened. Although its a completely new ownership, I figured it would probably be the same or similar. Nope. Boom. Hopes and dreams vanquished.

Don't ya hate when a place ya love goes bad? The curry puffs, my favorite from the old place, used to be robust, clearly hand-made, bursting with flavor. These new ones were sad, frozen, laden with sugar. Also greasy. Pretty much unrecognizable from a random app you would find in the cosco Asian foods aisle. The dumplings used to be excellent too..Again, before, hand-made textures and fresh flavor. Now frozen, and under-cooked to the point where I didn't think finishing it would be good for my health. I honestly only had a couple of bites of the Pad because it wasn't great and all the tastes were way...

I was the biggest fan of Zenith Thai for years to the point that I was fully convinced it was the best Thai restaurant in Ridgewood and would tell anyone about it who would listen. And that’s still very much the case, but only if you’re OK with a more limited menu, higher prices, and much, much smaller portions. I was disappointed to see the name change and unfortunately, while the staff, service, and food are all still quite good, the pricing and portions really makes it far less appealing of a go to like it once was, confirming my original suspicions and making it a bit of a disappointment. Inflation...
