“ Very delicious food for a great price. The location feels intimate without being claustrophobic, & the server was very sweet. So many yummy options we took forever choosing (a good thing) but settled on the BangBang Fish & the Seafood Drunk Man. Will be coming back ⭐ ”
“ Spice Thai on 13th Street is a standout for both flavor and service! The standout dish was the DrunkMan Noodle, that came loaded with a variety of fresh seafood—shrimp, mussels, and calamari each perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The sauce was a perfect balance of spicy, savory, and aromatic, with just the right kick to it. What really impressed me was how accommodating the restaurant was when I requested a substitution for the ground pork. Since our religion doesn’t permit pork, they happily swapped it out for beef, and the dish was just as delicious. The beef was cooked beautifully and added a rich depth to the flavors. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with our meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out in the city. I’ll definitely be back for more, especially that seafood pasta ”
“ Excellent and authentic flavors are the norm here. I often stop between movies at the Union Square Regal preferably during their expansive happy hour where I can get a proper mojito for only $10 and appetizer and soup from underv$20. all-in-all, a hidden gem which I'd walked past for years until, in a whim, I walked in. Now it is a must at least twice a month. I have to say everytime I go here I discover a new dish which only increases the trsuris over the choices the next time. If only all my choices in life were as delicious. ”
“ This was delicious. Will be back. The thai ice tea were elite. Nothing negative to say...other than there were no changing tables in the bathroom. ”
