★★★★★ 5.0 Idin Izzy · Sep 2025

I had such a great experience at Koo Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, definitely more than enough to satisfy. The service was also excellent — very friendly, attentive, and quick. Overall, everything from the taste to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Thai food with great value and great service!

★★★★★ 5.0 Matthew Assheton · Jan 2026

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a while. Very authentic, reminding me of the flavours and textures of Thailand. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy. Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.

Small Thai restaurant by 1st Ave UES. Food is not bad, price is typical for Manhattan. They have a good variety of drinks, from Milk Tea, Thai Iced Tea, Thai Iced Coffee. Overall, not a bad spot to get a quick Thai food.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Olga Egorova · Dec 2024

Nice little spot with very tasty food (both Tom Yum and Tom Kha were delicious and not very spicy; kale with crispy pork was very flavorful), great bubble teas and friendly service. The only downside is that in the winter because of the door being opened all the time it gets pretty chilly
