We loved the hed tod (fried seafood mushrooms) — crispy and delicious. The bacon hor ham was huge and customizable with chili, onions, and peanuts. The grilled shrimp mango salad was super refreshing with large shrimp and fresh mango.
For mains, the kee mao talay (seafood drunken noodles) was mildly spicy and loaded with mussels, squid, and shrimp. The kra prow (ground pork) was so flavorful and addictive — perfect with rice.
Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee are both great choices. The coconut ice cream, served in a heart-shaped coconut shell, was rich and fragrant.
Beautiful ambiance and great atmosphere. Would definitely come back!
Top picks:
Keang Phed Ped — fragrant roasted duck with rich but not heavy curry, plus lychee, pineapple, and tomato.
Mee Kaeng — thin noodles with a generous portion that soak up the curry perfectly.
Mango Sticky Rice — not on the menu, but they have it; even my non-dessert friend loved it.
Highly recommended!
Their Pad Thai is perfectly balanced and full of flavor, and the Pad Krapow Moo is a must-order—rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. You can really tell they care about authenticity and quality in every dish.
What really sets MayRee apart is the atmosphere and drinks. They have beautiful Thai culture–inspired cocktails that are creative, well-crafted, and fun without being gimmicky. It’s the kind of place that feels special but still relaxed.
This is 100% a restaurant I’d bring friends to—whether it’s their first time trying Thai food or they already love it. Consistently great food, great vibes, and a spot I’ll keep coming back to!
The curry was rich and flavorful with a nice balance of sweetness and spice. The soup
pot was bold and comforting, with super fresh seafood. The Thai basil pork with fried egg over rice was simple but done perfectly — mixing the yolk into the rice was so satisfying.
Cozy, intimate vibe and friendly service.
Best part? It’s actually affordable — around $30–50 per person, which feels like a great deal for this level of quality in Manhattan.
Definitely coming back.
The food was amazing! The Tom Yum Goong was flavorful and spicy in the best way, and the Goong Chae Nam Pla (raw shrimp) was super fresh with a perfect kick. The Seafood Kee Mao and Pla Loui Suan were both full of rich, bold Thai flavors — definitely on the spicy side, but totally worth it
Service was friendly and fast, and the presentation of every dish looked beautiful. Highly recommend this spot if you love authentic, spicy Thai food in a stylish setting! ️
We also both loved the Goong Chae Nam Pla and Tom Yum Goong, so flavorful, delicious, and perfectly spicy. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!
Nam Woon Sen – The sourness and fragrance were just right. The glass noodles weren’t mushy at all, very refreshing.
Tom Yum Goong – Served in a volcano pot, which makes it feel very ceremonial. The broth is rich with a great balance of sour and spicy, and they give a generous amount of ingredients.
Pad Kee Mao Beef – I found it quite spicy, super fragrant, and the beef was tender!
Kra Prow – Perfect with rice. The grains were nice and separated, and the pork and long beans were fully soaked with flavor.
My top pick is still the Roti Nam Keanu, the curry is incredibly aromatic, and the roti is crispy and delicious without feeling heavy at all!
