Charming place and owner! They have some of their most popular dishes cooked and heated towards the entrance but you can also order anything you don’t see to be made

Super convenient and friendly service. Note that there is no seating inside. The pad see ew with chicken ($12) was maybe a 3.5/5 but it’s a very comforting dish and the good experience as a whole makes this place a 5 for me. Also the plants are so cute!

What-a unique experience in the middle of the lower east side. I felt i was eating at grandmas thai place. The Beef panang curry was my favorite dish and i truly enjoyed how fresh the food is. A take out heaven and a must to try on a low key afternoon

The basil chicken over rice was simply amazing.

The pad see ew was okay. It lacked a bit of flavor and dimension that I often find at other Thai restaurants.

However, the prices are great. The portions are a bit small; so it would be nice if they had optional larger sizes for a slightly higher price?

I’d certainly recommend giving Terra Thai a visit. There’s not much indoor seating besides a small makeshift counter with stools. They are definitely a takeout place. The staff and owner is very friendly. I’m sure I’ll be back for the basil chicken over rice.

Super fire Thai place! I wish I had found this shop sooner. It’s a small hole-in-the-wall relatively easy to miss. It’s take-out only due to the shop’s size but they have seating outside. The restaurant seemed authentic and you can get a few different noodles and fried rice dishes.

The flavors of the drunken noodles were amazing! The oil and basil with whatever seasonings used were perfect. Much better than the handful of other Thai places I visited. The tofu is (by default) softer instead of crispy so you may want to mention crispy tofu if that’s your foretaste. You can customize the spice level, I thought medium was perfect and I usually eat spicy foods. The ice cream was also sooo good, it tasted like thai iced tea boba! Go here if you love Thai food!!

The best I have had in the east village for Thai food. Takeout only which is a bummer, but this is my new favorite spot. Also reasonably priced.

Very small and cosy restaurant, I guess most people do take out / delivery. I ordered the pad see ew with shrimps and it was the best one I had on nyc. I also got the Tom kah soup with chicken , unfortunately they made it too hot (temperature) so besides burning my tongue it was challenging eating it. I will definitely go back for the pad see ew and try their other dishes

I almost missed and walked by this place, but glad I found this small, local Thai place. I sat alongside the plants on a tiny counter and enjoyed the pad see ew with tofu. Food is good, a typical menu. I like supporting family and local businesses, and this is one I’d come back to support. Would recommend take out and eating it at the park nearby. Enjoy!

Best Thaï in East Village !!! Wonderful discovery. Every single dish was delicious home made and fresh from the day. Small menu for a top quality food. Don’t miss the homemade coconut ice cream ( OMG )

There are things you generally take for granted in your day to day life that you simply don’t appreciate, but without life experience, how could you? I’d argue that your local takeout spot is at the top of this list.

You move away and miss it more than you could have ever imagined. You try to find a substitute, but they just don’t make your go-to dish QUITE the same. Something’s missing, something’s off………. Well, I’m sure you can see where this is going, but Terra Thai is my local takeout spot. My life raft. My lighthouse in a storm.

This large Basil Chicken Plate medium spice is essentially keeping me alive at this point, as I have it AT LEAST two times a week. It is a MOUND of carefully seasoned flavorful chicken, a side of white rice, an egg, and broccoli. There is no beating it. It is the equivalent to a home cooked meal and is the perfect post workout meal. It is the sole reason that Terra Thai is my starting PG on my All-NBA Lower East Side restaurants.

We are at the point now when I call in to place my order, Aung, the owner, answers with a “Hi Johnny!!” and it brings a smile to my face every time. I go in and we chop it up, she asks how work is, how my friends are, how life is going, etc. I always give her a hug on the way out…she is essentially my east coast Granny at this point ahaaha…. damn I miss my Granny… Also I’ve become cool with one of the employees in there, shoutout to my guy Yoshi always showin love!

So am I a little biased? Yeah maybe, but you’re off your rocker if you think I would come here as often as I do if that large Basil Chicken Plate didn’t SMACK like it does. I literally price things in Basil Chicken Plates these days… I’ll be out at Flower Shop or Ding-a-Ling and think “Yeah I could buy this drink rn but that’s really a full Basil Chicken Plate at Terra Thai…”

Sometimes you have to go through deep pain in order to appreciate true greatness. You have to wander and be lost in order to know when you’ve found something special. You have to lose that Fire Grilled Chicken Salad from Cafe Rio in order to appreciate the large Basil Chicken Plate from Terra Thai.

Andy Bernard put it better than I ever could when he said “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good ole days before you’ve actually left them.” Well, I know I’m in the good ole days right now and I’m appreciating every last second. I eat every large Basil Chicken Plate like it’s my last.

THANK YOU TERRA THAI! THANK YOU AUNG, I LOVE YOU!

5 stars because of the immaculate service from both Envi and the Thai lady, the coziness of the place and the coconut rice pudding (literally the best we’ve ever had, we had to take 2)
We ate the basil chicken on rice with an egg, the noodles pad ew with tofu and the soup. We liked everything but the basil rice was our favorite, in my opinion the soup wasn’t as flavorfull as the rest.
Wishing Terra thai a lot of success greetings from Iceland:)
