Mangez Avec Moi

Terribly upset that my go to Thai place has closed!!! Developer bought the block and all of the restaurants are out of business.

Surprisingly – and annoyingly – difficult to find decent Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese in Tribeca. WTF? So the bar was set low for this place going in. Fortunately, and perhaps only for that reason, it did not disappoint. My red curry with chicken was flavorful and the veggies were fresh. It was a totally fine dish. The portion was too small, especially the protein, and it could have been spicier. And the sauce could have been a bit more substantial. But these are sins of omission that resulted in a not unpleasant dish.
The physical restaurant itself is nothing special. Not a hole in the wall, but a bit spartan in décor and the very high ceilings, though nice, make for strange acoustics. It didn’t help that some woman decided she needed to yell at all times when ordering. That was weird. She looked like a perfectly normal woman. I didn’t like her.
So the search continues for good Thai in the area, but for now we have at least decent.

The worst Thai food I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried countless Thai restaurants). I ordered Massaman Curry with Peanut, which was supposedly spicy. When I looked at my food, I thought they mistakenly gave me some other order (just take a look at the picture I included), it just did not look like Massaman Curry, neither did it taste like one. And spicy? It had no spice in it whatsoever, as if they forgot to add spice. It was so bland, and not flavored at all.
Could not finish my food, I had to throw it out after a few spoons, and I hate wasting food. I’ll never suggest this place to anyone. Sadly there are not many Thai Restaurants around that area. The only plus side, I thought the girl who took my to-​go order was nice. But still cannot give this place more than a star.

Awful. Bland and suspicious. Better Thai food in my neighborhood of Washington Heights. I’ll give half of a star for the coconut shrimp spring roll because the first two bites were kind of ok. Then the sweetness and oil gets to you.
I had the chicken in ginger sauce. The chicken was very bland, no attempt at seasoning. The brown sauce was super thick and shiny, probably from excessive corn starch. At least it tasted like ginger, so I’ll give another half star.
I really should’ve taken a picture of the brown mess, because it should be embarrassing for you to serve food like that and call it Vietnamese or Thai or pan-​Asian.
TriBeCa…you have to do better, seriously. Now I know why Whole Foods at lunch is like waiting in line for the club.

3 stars for the food. I dined in and thought the atmosphere was cramped and dark. Regardless, service was timely and the food was delicious. If you’re going on a lunch break, plan to take the full hour though because it is a sit-​down restaurant if you don’t do take out.

Small vietnamese banh mi shop. Ideal for take out as the inside is stale and cramped. Space is poorly split between imported snacks, expected drinks and food service.
Traditional banh mi was lackluster with very little pâté and chewy ham. Vegetables are clearly from a generic distributor.
Service was quick and prices affordable.

I wonder why some customers are upset that the restaurant charges for a bowl of rice. This is not a fast food Chinese food! It is also located in Tribeca, not Chinatown, be realistic. If you can’t pay for a bowl of rice, then don’t eat rice. No carb for you! Anyway, enough with the lecture, this place is all right. I came here with a friend who is a vegetarian. What a coincidence because they actually have a vegetarian section on a menu — soy chicken. They don’t serve liquor so you have a choice to bring your own bottle (the wine store is across the street). My friend ordered a mixed vegetable dish and I ordered pad kee mao (noodle) with vegetable. One thing I’d suggest you do before you order to ask for less oil. I did ask to prepare my noodle with very little oil but my food came out slightly oily. The taste was good. The bill came out reasonable for a location in Tribeca.

I wanted to like this restaurant, but they charge extra for rice. I had the chicken stew with peanut sauce. The portion was small for the price, especially when it didn’t include rice. The only reason I took anything home was because I also had egg rolls, which were just ok.

This is small Thai Restaraunt. You can miss it if you a fast walker. But if you are looking for really good Thai food, this is the place to visit!
Pad Thai is to die for! WARNING: once you try their version you will never eat it anywhere else! Their noodle dishes, especially Pad See Eew, are yummy! Highly recommended. Clean kitchen, friendly staff. What can I say more?

VERY tasty food, recommend the phở, the service is a TAD bit slow, but the food is outstanding, amazing price for amazing food. highly recommend this place.

Went in for lunch today. Never again.
Ordered their Tom Yum noodle soup with shrimp and a thai iced tea. Everything came out pretty quick, but it was all downhill from there.
I had no silverware and it took asking twice to get chopsticks. Same for a napkin, but that never arrived. When finished, I had to ask for the check twice and the server finally yells «yours is coming!» and despite getting her attention, I had to get up to hand them my card after they didn’t come to pick it up for 10 minutes.
Onto the food… Tom Yum is a nice lemongrass chicken broth with spice. Their version was a super dense bowl of overcooked noodles with maybe a splash of broth. No familiar lemongrass flavor or spice. The only 3 shrimp tasted like they were cooked in dirty water and rather than having traditional veggies, sprouts or mushrooms, it was topped with raw carrot, raw broccoli and two bean sprouts. Inedible.

Definitely one of my favorite places for Thai/​fusion food in the area. Their Tom Kha Kai has a kick you will love … Be sure to try the pad Thai as well. Of course there’s more to their menu than two of the more cliché Thai dishes but trust me, you won’t be disappointed with whatever you choose.

I had so pretty good vegetarian pad Thai noodles with chicken, I was just not too happy to see the beverage/​drink menu so limited like that one I’ve seen at my dine in today

I passed this place all the time on the way to and from work but I decided to try it tonight, as I’m always a sucker for Thai.
I got the vegetable pad kee mao and ugh. I don’t think I’ve had one worse. Lots and lots of gloopy sweet sauce covering everything. At least it was kinda spicy.
But it makes me sad, because it’s a cute restaurant with tin ceilings and 19^th c tiled floor. The staff was nice but not super attentive; I suspect most of their dinner income comes from delivery and they were busy with that.

still eating. nice waiter. good to see laotian food in new york, but it’s definitely a bit pricier than the other laotian place I went to
décor has a laotian/​thai feeling to it.
tamarind juice: 2 or 2.50, nice full glass, good and sour. probably from a can or made from tamarind paste, but I won’t find tamarind juice in many places for that low a price.
thai fish cake: 6.00. instead of 4 large cakes, there were a bunch of smaller ones. i liked the sauce, was a bit spicier than in most other places. i liked how some of the carrots were mixed in also. cakes themselves had the proper texture and were a bit spicy.
laotian beaten rice salad: 12 or 13 ordered it spicy. salad was excellent. sausage wasr well flavored, coconut was mixed in well. rice had a crunchy texture. id order it again but to split it as the dish became overpowering and was big for an appetizer.
stick with the laotian food. it’s different but in a good way and the size of the dishes are nice.
only past 5 pm though.

I was honestly shocked this place was packed at lunch. It is not authentic thai. If you want something spicier, they bring you chili sauce on the side. The flavors are so flat and I struggled to find a true thai basil, garlic or flavor in my dish. The pad see yew was bland and the eggplant dish lacked a substantial portion of chicken and was way too sauce heavy. The lunch specials don’t even come with a free salad or appetizer – $ 10 for boring quasi Thai food? No thanks!

I went to this place for the first time tonight and so glad that I did! The owner a bunch of my Lao friends and I nicknames her Pa Morn (meaning aunty Fun!) and fun she is! She’s very approachable, funny and welcoming. Onto the restaurant though and the Lao food is delicious! It’s very authentic and traditional! The Orm Gai (chicken stew) was everything and tasted so much like my grandma! The Larb was awesome! The papayala salad delicious as well as the nam Khao! It will be my new to go to spot!

Go here for the Lao food (see attached pic for menu)! Don’t be skurred.
BFF and I had the nam khao (rice salad), gang naw mai (bamboo stew with chicken), and ping gai (grilled chicken). She’s southern Lao while my family is from the north and we agreed that everything was on point! Spicy, flavorful, and satisfying. Washed it all down with an ice cold Singha beer (ran out of BeerLao, sadly). We chatted with the nice ladies in the back and they gave us the low-​down on the specials and basically said they could cook anything we wanted if we called ahead. The prices are not cheap but it’s TriBeCa and is definitely less expensive than the other Lao restaurant in the hood (Mark Forgionne’s Khe-​Yo). It’s weird that the only two Lao restaurants in the city are in TriBeCa! Both are great but are worlds apart in terms of ambience and cuisine. I plan to have many, many meals here.

Went here with a coworker. I havent been here for a few years so it was nice to return here. We both ordered from the Lunch Specials.
I ordered the Mango Chicken and my coworker ordered the Chicken Curry Noodle Soup. The Chicken Curry noodle soup was actually pretty good and a good size. The curry could have been better, it was a bit watery. The chicken was very moist and enjoyed it.
The Mango Chicken on the other hand was pretty disappointing. The chicken tasted like it was cooked yesterday, it was hard, dry and not that hot. The mango was ok, nothing special.
If Im in the mood for Viet/​Thai mix based food around the area, I will definitely consider this as its actually one of the better ones around my job. However, otherwise I would go to some better ones around the city.

Seamless was giving 15% off, so I thought I’d try a new place for lunch. The lunch special looked good, and the prices seemed decent. The delivery was fast. I received a box of ¾ brown rice, and baked tilapia in a salty black bean sauce. It wasn’t amazing, and was not worth the $ 10 that i paid (including tax and delivery tip). I will not be ordering from here again.
