“Possibly one of the best thai places I've ever eaten at. We were a party of 3 people and waited for 30 mins for a table on a sunday night. Not bad. Our server, Best, lived up to his name. He recommended most of the food that we ordered and they were all delicious. Overall, it was an awesome experience. Will definitely come back!” —Marga S.
“Came here on a Thursday and the restaurant was packed! Went with the suggestion of the friendly and very helpful waitress!! The food was incredible!!! Had the salad, duck pad se-ew, and sticky rice with grilled-pork. Was the best Thai Food I had so far.
Check out their restroom if you want some original Thai Music !!” —Angela N.
“Thai Villa lived up to the hype! My friend and I came on a busy Saturday night without a reservation but were able to be seated at the bar right away. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our food arrived with such a full house. My dish was incredibly tasty, fresh, and hot, and a pretty generous portion as well. This was easily one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to. There is so much more on the menu I would love to try so hope to return again soon!” —Samantha H.

“Phenomenal service and delicious food!! A very small restaurant but they have a very homey and welcoming atmosphere. Their pad se ew was the best I've ever had. Officially on my list of nyc recs forever!” —Lisa R.
“Service here was great and attentive. The restaurant was dimmed with dark walls and plants hung tastefully.

I ordered a pad Thai w the crispy duck as my protein and a papaya salad as an appetizer. Both were prepared perfectly! Although the duck was fried, it was still pleasantly moist. The best part was the crispy skin. I may have been very hungry or the portions were a tad smaller, but I finished both dishes myself.” —Melissa Z.
“I used to work around the area and always can count on Up Thai for a solid meal. I went recently and had pineapple fried rice, the crispy spring rolls and we got my fave pad see ew. All very tasty and satisfied our Thai craving. I also indulged in a passion fruit mojito because what can I say, it was a long day! Also, very good and did not disappoint!” —Natalie P.
