One of the best thai restaurants I have ever been too. The thai tea was one of the best I have ever had. For entrees we got the crying tiger the soft shell crab curry and the duck curry. Everything was amazing. The duck was my favorite because it was so tender. The wait wasn’t even that long when they were busy. The price is definitely worth the food and experience

Excellent spot for tangy and flavor-packed Thai food. I recommend getting the chive pancake by a lot. The texture is very nice, glutinous but not too heavy. I also recommend the tiger shrimp which was cooked perfectly from head to toe as a light cook, accompanied by a ridiculously excellent spicy green sauce.
The steamed fish had great texture, meaty and moist without being dry, and the sauce would go well with rice on its own. The sauce is very tangy and thus works well with the fish’s flesh. I would order this again for two people.
The crying tiger had a great rice but the steak was just normal. I was thinking about why I think the steak is normal and I realize that in most of these preparations you get flecks of salt that bring out the meatiness. Also in those preparations the meat is piping hot. Here the meat is a normal cut but could be better with a bit more technique.
The space looks like a classic Thai place with the bamboo seats and wooden accents. For being “near” Times Square, it’s an excellent find. One note: the mains are now $40+. Welcome to 2025 inflation.

Wow! What a fantastic and thai meal to remember at Lum Lum. My wife did a lot of research before choosing Lum Lum for dinner in Hells Kitchen. Note: this place is popular! So reservations are highly recommended. We came on a Friday night and oh boy it was slammed! My wife made a reservation well in advance and they had a table waiting for us when we arrived at our reservation time. Primo service and kind servers add to the 5 star restaurant Lum Lum is.
We ordered Khao Soi, Crying Tiger, and a Fried Pork for appetizer. Cocktail drinks were fantastic as well.
5 solid stars for Lum Lum and thank you for a stellar meal!

First time here (on a solo adventure) and I will gladly come back! I had two servers recommend the Penang Nue for my first time, and it did not disappoint. The meat was cooked perfectly, the curry was so flavorful and the right amount of spice for me…Just a little sniffle lol…Even the plain rice was tasty. I had a seasonal cocktail, the green curry, that was pretty bland especially for $18…so I can’t speak on the cocktails being great. The mango sticky rice was out of season so I tried the taro mochi coconut dessert instead and loved it! I would definitely give this spot a try if you haven’t!

I had a good experience at Lum Lum! The food was delicious — the dumplings were super tasty, and the Pad Thai was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a great vibe.
The only thing is that the tables are quite close to each other, so it’s not the best spot for a quiet or intimate dinner. But overall, the atmosphere is really nice, and the food makes it totally worth it. I’d definitely go back!

LUM LUM was a great experience. This Thai restaurant brought me right back to my trip to Thailand. The Khai Soi Gai was soooo creamy and delicious. pad ki mao was so good and very spicy. 10/10 I would come again. So
glad My sisters and I decided to pop in last minute.

Virgin lychee mojito—too sweet, but loved the lychee garnish
River prawn—smaller and less fresh than expected, but loved the green sauce
Sour pork salad—would’ve liked more vegetables, but the crunchy rice and peanuts added texture
Crying Tiger—steak was not as flavorful and tender as we would’ve liked, but the crispy shallot garlic rice and egg yolk were excellent
Steamed fish—star of the show, flavors were perfect with the balance of lime, garlic. The broth tasted homey and refreshing. The fish itself was fresh, tender, and meaty. Dare I say comparable to Fish Cheeks.
Taro mochi and coconut ice cream and salted egg—loved this to finish off our meal! Each component worked well with each other.
Overall satisfied with our time here. We would come back and try other dishes 🙂

One star just for the Thai iced tea. We ordered the crying tiger and the pork fried rice, and both were disappointing. The pork was deep-fried and simply piled on top of the rice; so crunchy it honestly felt like it could break your teeth. The fried rice itself was very average.
For the steak, they didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked, and it seems like they only do it one way. It was also pretty bland, even with the sweet sauce. It came with rice topped with huge slices of garlic. If you don’t like eating whole garlic slices, this dish isn’t for you. There was also an egg yolk on the side (not sure what it was meant to add).
The place is also quite small, so it can feel a bit cramped.

I always bring friends who are visiting NYC to this place. It’s a wonderful spot for Thai food in the city. I’ve been here several times, and it always exceeds my expectations. My go to dish is the steamed branzino with lime and herbs. The Crying Tiger, their signature steak over rice, is also excellent. (I didn’t have it this time- not included in photo) Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Thai food in the city!

It has been a while since I’ve been upset with a meal while dining out. My mood was literally ruined while I was having this meal, which made this meal less enjoyable. The fresh branzino (steamed) that arrived this morning (recommended by the waiter) had a lot of bones and has more of a fish taste than I’d like. Also while you serve out the food from this dish, you need to be super careful and make sure you don’t tilt or spill the contents in the dish. I’d recommend this fish dish for anyone who really enjoys bones and likes the taste of fish. My husband really enjoyed the fish though.
And the moon cocktail (waiter said this was his favorite cocktail so of course I had to give it a try) came at the end of our meal (and I had to ask twice for it prior, and asked for it to be cancelled because we were almost done with our meal) when it was the first thing that we ordered. When I wanted to cancel the cocktail order, they made it almost immediately. It had such a strong rum taste; I barely tasted any of the coconut flavor or any of the other ingredients in that drink. I only had like two sips of it and gave the rest to my husband.
The chives and shrimp dumplings (recommended by the waiter) had a nice mochi skin texture, but barely had any shrimp in it. The pad kee mao had a good amount of seafood and tasted okay. When the waiter asked how everything was, I originally said that everything was okay, but when he asked a second time, I said, “Can I be honest with you? The fish has a lot of bones and is hard to eat and the cocktail really shouldn’t have came at the end of the meal.” He was very apologetic and said that the cocktail was of no charge and that if we would like, they can remove the charge of the fish too. But since my husband liked the fish, we said it’s fine, we will pay for the fish. He probably saw how upset I was at the meal, he brought out homemade complimentary coconut ice cream at the end of the meal for us. That ice cream was yummy and did make me feel better.
We sat at one of the tables outside of the restaurant – if you want to be surrounded by the nyc traffic noise, loud passerbys and essentially have the classic hustle bustle nyc dining experience, this setting would be good for it. But if you’re looking for a more calm, relaxing and quiet meal, this might not satisfy your needs.
Anyway, as I’m writing this review, I’m thankful for the follow-up service that the waiter provided to try to make my experience better. I’ve learned that what is recommended is not always suitable. I am most likely not going to be coming back here any time soon.
