I know new York has a lot of good Thai food but I absolutely loved wayla. The cocktails were remarkable with great aromatics and the impeccable presentation. We had sway wayla, old fashioned and land of smiles. I got a slice of ginger clipped to my glass with a cute miniature clothes pin!
We were food hopping so we got a couple of small plates to share and the food was amazing. We had the Karipup Gai which was a mildly spicy, golden and flaky chicken curry puff. We also got the the poh pia puh, an elevated spring roll with crab and truffle that was crispy and delicious.
The server was very friendly. I will definitely come back here.

I came here with family and friends, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Both the staff and the manager were very friendly and welcoming.
I especially loved the chicken wings—they were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Paired with their cocktails, it was a perfect combination!
The lobster Pad Thai was excellent and truly made me feel like I was in Thailand, while the crab fried rice was light, fresh, and full of seafood flavor.
If you enjoy durian, you absolutely must try their durian sticky rice for dessert. The durian is incredibly fragrant, rich, and sweet—it really makes you want more. The mango pudding is also delicious!
This is definitely a restaurant I would happily visit again with family and friends.

Wayla brings the soul of Thai home cooking into a polished space that still feels relaxed and inviting. The energy is lively, the cocktails are playful, and every dish pops with layers of flavor. The Lobster Curry were incredible—the fish cooked beautifully and the lobster so rich. But the showpiece for me was the roasted duck paired with a bold green curry… tender, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. If you’re exploring Chinatown and craving something vibrant and comforting, this spot delivers. Dont forget to get the durian sticky rice for the dessert.

Amazing after-work spot with incredible Thai flavors!
I had such a great time at Wayla, the vibe is cozy, lively, and perfect for an after-work hangout. The food was the highlight of the night. I absolutely loved the Khao Pad Pu the lump crab fried rice was super flavorful, loaded with tender crab, and perfectly seasoned. The Sen Chan Pad Lobster was another standout, with sweet, juicy lobster paired with thin rice noodles, peanuts, chives, and egg. So delicious!
Service was friendly, the atmosphere was fun, and everything felt welcoming. Definitely a new favorite Thai spot in the city. Can’t wait to come back! ️✨

One of my favorite restaurants in nyc. Especially love their appetizers (chicken wings have amazing flavor, calamari is light and crispy and they fill the plate!) drinks are great, and bartender/ overall service is wonderful. This is a spot I’ll continue to frequent.

The food was pretty good — interesting flavours, different across the several dishes we ordered, and good textures too. We ordered the beef jerky, beef curry, papaya salad, seafood pad char, and crab sen chan pad pu. The menu had many dishes I wasn’t familiar with, but our server was patient and thorough when it came to explaining everything and helping us choose our order. The beef jerky was a surprise favourite with a crispy texture, and the seafood dishes were great too. Relatively quick service and nice atmosphere. It did get pretty loud as the evening progressed, but easy to talk earlier in the evening.

If I could give Wayla more than 5 stars, I would. We had an exceptional experience! Every dish was fresh, hot and delicious. We enjoyed:
Nua Sa Wan – thai style crispy beef jerky
Khao Krep Pak Mor – crepe dumpling
Gang Keaw Wan Ped – roasted duck green curry
Sen Chan Pad Crab – crab pad Thai
Beautiful plating, generous portions equals win-win! Looking forward to our next visit.

Wayla NYC – Flavorful Bites & Refreshing Sips
Wayla NYC delivers bold Thai flavors with a modern twist. The cucumber mocktail is light and cooling, while the ginger mocktail brings a zesty, invigorating kick—both are must-tries for non-drinkers.
The beef patties are juicy and perfectly seasoned, offering a satisfying bite. The mango salad with crispy anchovies is a standout—sweet, salty, and spicy in all the right ways. For a plant-based option, the tofu and green beans stir-fried in chili paste is savory, aromatic, and full of texture.
A perfect spot for flavorful food and mocktails that are purposefully designed and perfected. One of the best Thai food places I’ve been too in New York City. Worth coming downtown to visit.
