The BEST Thai restaurant I have been to in the States. I was fortunate enough to go with a friend who is Thai and we left all the ordering to him. I am so glad we did because he got items my girlfriend and I never think to get, and he also told us the best way to pair the items, which we would have never considered! Dishes we indulged in: 1. Laab Ground Meat (chicken)- 10/10. Flavors spectacular and generous portion to share amongst our group of 3. 2. Fried catfish salad- really absorbed the flavors of the laab perfectly and was such a delightful texture addition to the laab. 3. Green curry with beef- flavors were on point and the meat was perfectly cooked. Our friend told us the best way to enjoy it was to poor over the omelet and my oh my this changed my life! 4. Kang Som Cha-Om Omelet- this may sound odd, but I don't like omelets because they tend to have that strong cooked fried egg flavor. But this omelet completely changed my stance on omelets. The flavors were so perfectly balanced and I was impressed by how enjoyable it was by itself. 5. Pad kee mao with beef- this is always one of my favorite items at Thai restaurants, but the one here was exceptional. The quality and portion of the food here was 20/10. Cannot wait to go back. Don't forget to bring cash- it's cash only! Bring a generous amount since you will want to try so many things (and it'll all be worth it).

Been going here since the early 2000s. It's certainly one of the best Thai spots in New York. The food is great. Their pad thai is always amazing. My family always enjoys the watercress dish as well. The only thing to note about this place is the service. It's not phenomenal or terrible. However, I was there a few months ago and the waiter followed us out and berated us, stating we did not leave him a satisfactory tip. He MADE us tip him more, not asking WHY we tipped him that amount. Not sure how much we tipped, but surely it was 18%. This was our only bad encounter there though. We still go back all the time. We just hope and pray we don't get the rude waiter when we go!

Ate here today dinner with my mom, dad, sister and 2 cousins. We all had shared and ate different kinds of dishes such as the pad see ew, papaya salad, etc. that it had tasted good. The service there was also attentive and quite fast. We couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

WOW! This place RULES! Went here on a date night with the lady friend, and it was amazing. Highly recommend sitting outside in the backyard, as it was perfect for an early summer day. Also note that this joint is cash only, so be sure to hit that ATM. The menu is quite extensive (intimidating?) as it is 38 pages long. I highly suggest picking out a few things and not looking over the menu again as you may change your mind! We settled on the hor mok, roasted duck, khao soi, and the papaya salad, and it was all very delightful! (I ate the hor mok and the lady friend had the roasted duck). The khao soi was delicious, filled with tender tofu and broc, and a generous helping of noodles, all swimming in a luxurious and flavorful coconut curry sauce. I especially like the condiments that go along with it! I really enjoy food you have to assemble! The service is quick and at times frantic, but it seems like a very busy kitchen. We even caught a fun birthday, so this would be a great place to celebrate! The service is EXCELLENT. After we had dined, I forgot my favorite hat. I was afraid I lost it on the train, but the next morning I called the restaurant if I had left it behind. Lo and behold, they kept for me! They even went an extra mile to take my name and to place my beloved headgear into plastic bag. What service! I blame the delicious and delightful food for my absent mindedness, as I left in a rush with leftovers (the portions are epic!) and a very happy and full tummy! Get thee to SriPraPhai for legit and authetnic Thai! Don't make my mistake though and not leave room for dessert. I'm def coming back for some sticky mango rice and fried bananas!!

Was super in the mood for Thai and had a tough time deciding where to go in the neighborhood, but am not displeased with our choice. The menu is super overwhelming and there are tons of options, so take a breath before you sit down. We started with the grilled pork neck, which was both perfectly crispy and tender. The flavoring on this was great. Next was the gai-kua noodles, which wasn't my favorite in terms of the flavoring but the squid was nice. The crispy pork basil is always a hit in my book and this was no different, would recommend trying this on the spicier end. Finished with the Panang curry with jasmine rice. While delicious and seasoned beautifully, I was hoping it would be just a bit spicier (we had asked for the spiciest so not sure if they do make it spicier or not). Thai tea also a nice addition to the meal overall. Of note, they are cash only.

My usually snack from SriPraPhai is their fried bananas. I was a bit disappointed this time bc it was cold and the other times, I got really lucky and it was hot. It is the best when hot. For $5, this isn't a snack you can get anywhere in NYC. It's sweet with sesame and coconut. I will heat it back up in the toaster or air fryer to bring it back to life. Also, they don't have this every time, only if it's your lucky day.

My first introduction to SriPraPhai, was when an Irish colleague from three jobs ago irrevocably stated that we didn't know Thai food until we had eaten here. This is a hike if you live in manhattan. Which is why it took me this long to eat here. And even now, it was takeout. To begin from the moment that I thanked the seamless delivery person and opened the takeout bag, the packing deserves a call out. It was immaculate with cardboard separators between every layer of food containers, double bagged in a brown paper bag and plastic takeout bag, held together with a zip tie. I mean, the details! Since this was my first time with authentic Thai, I ordered a bunch of dishes that were both comfort and new. Comfort dishes like chicken pad thai, drunken noodles and papaya salad were good. Albeit a bit on the sweeter side for my liking. The new dish (for me) was the Rad Na, which was seriously amazing. It is a Thai style chicken curry where you dunk the noodles and accoutrements like raw red onions, cilantro and picked something, in the curry soup. Think of a thick katsu style curry with a hint of sweetness but all the flavor. There were two types of thin egg noodles, cooked and crispy. The crispy noodles when soaked in the curry sauce becomes an al dente style ramen noodle which can be slurped up. SriPraPai will be on my asian food takeout list of places but I will keep to their more authentic offerings than the American Thai dishes.

First off: bring cash! Came here with friends for dinner on a Friday night and got seated immediately. The server originally took us to a table in an empty room but then was able to change us to the main room with more diners. The food was goood! The menu is a bit overwhelming but there are delicious and more rare options available: - fried soft shell crab (4/5): love me some soft shell crab! The batter was nice and crispy. - Tom yum soup (4.5/5): hard to make Tom yum stand out but there was just something to this one that was perfectly balanced and a good level of spice. - wide noodles with tofu and squid (4.5/5): delicious - green curry (3.5/5): it was standard, this one didn't stand out to me but it was a exactly what you expect from a green curry. - longan juice (4/5) - be warned it is very sweet but they add fresh longan which I appreciated. The service and vibe was pretty low frills. I heard the backyard is great in warmer months! Also they had awesome take out desserts near the entrance, will have to go back and try some!

For those of you who say you should not go out of your way to eat this, I disagree. This Thai food is some of the tastiest, well priced, perfectly portioned food you will find outside of Manhattan. It is worth the adventure to get here, and it is an adventure, unless you live in Queens. The restaurant gets busy around lunchtime, and it is not surprising why. Your food comes out very quick and it all feels right because the portion and size of what you get is worth it. The Tom Yum soup is great without compromising integrity, and the Drunken Noodle is equal parts noodle, meat, and vegetable. Thankfully the garlic is not overwhelming, and the spice is reasonable as well. I would rate this a 6 or 7 based on the average spice scale. If that does not do it for you, get a Thai Iced Tea, which is so delicious as well. Not too heavy on the milk, but it has solid flavor. Save this for your entree, especially if you order something spicy. If not for the cash only deal, I would have ordered more. However, I guess it is a good thing it is cash only. It keeps you from overeating and also allows you to come back for more, later. In that case, I will be returning here for another adventure.
