Food was very solid and is fully Thai in style. The boat noodles are the best I've had in NYC with the best in the US still being Sapp Coffee Shop in Hollywood, CA. The decor is clean and cute. Service was professional. Would definitely be a regular if I lived in this area.
I came here to try out the Bamee Pho Moo Dang Nam to see if it was as authentic as the ones I've had on the streets of Bangkok, and it is! Sure, it's $12 in NYC compared to $2 in Bangkok, but price aside, this is the real deal.
Everything from the sauce platter to the noodles and broth were on point. Omgosh the pepper vinegar sauce is so good we asked for an extra serving. After a couple sips of the soup, you need the sweet-with-a-little kick vinegar to cut through and spice it up.
We also tried the Boat Noodle with Beef. It was tasty, but we both agreed the Bamee was much better.
TLDR; the noodles here, most specifically the Bamee Pho Moo Dang Nam, are as authentic as they get here in NYC.
I have been lucky enough to have tasted Thai home cooking once. Though the events that led my friend to cook me comforting congee were pathetic, this one dish was one of few things that I remember fondly from this era in my life. Its combination of brininess, acidity and umami is difficult to recreate. I experienced it a second time at Lotus of Siam in Vegas and was elated when I tasted it here.
Pye noodle boat's dishes appear humble but the flavor are artistically layered. You are provided with the weirdest accouterments for your soup which are explained and come with a warning to taste your soup first before adding anything. The pad Thai and pad see ew taste very different from that of every other New York Thai restaurant. I think if you just pretend it is a completely new noodle dish you won't be disappointed.
I always end with the red shaved ice. It is an odd one though.
My new favorite Thai place in this neighborhood. Love the pad thai and crab fried rice, and most of the appetizers I've tried have been delicious too. Very authentic taste. I usually do delivery, but their dine-in service is decent. Drinks aren't that strong though refreshing — good weekend brunch spot.
At last, someone figures out how to have authentic Thai street food in a sometimes pretentious Manhattan. On each adventure in Pye Boat, I am delivered back to the Asianic wonderland of soup noodles and rice. Living on street food as a kid, I have attempted in many ways to temporarily bring myself back to the urban cuisine where I used to live.
In case of noodles, the first spoon is dedicated to the broth, which enters the distinct taste of the sea or of the land, of the North or of the South region. The second but optional step is to add street toppings: peanut, chili vinegar, extra fish sauce, extra chili. Google says the sensation of taste comes in 5 basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami – pleasant savory taste. All the tastes are in each dish in Pye Boat. Each of my visit is a strangely satisfying trip of sight, smell, and taste. And this is all done by the food, never the atmosphere.
Soup noodles and fried rice are generally not homemade in Manhattan (you often go out to eat them!), but the sight of them almost immediately brings me back home, to the crowded streets and to the hot summer night.
Um, okay, I LOVE this place. It's tiny and cozy and I felt like I was in Thailand. No joke.
The iced lychee drink is REALLY good. The watermelon one is just okay.
I had the one noodle soup that's orange and has fish balls and stuff in it. It was great! I had it with vermicelli and it was a-okay.
Our server was lovely.
I will be back to try the pad Thai.
Kickass prices, especially for Manhattan, especially for uptown!
Yay! Bye
This was my go to Thai place for a while. Their tom yum noodle soup and kway noodles are amazing but the service here has tone done the drain. The servers were very inattentive and our bill even took a long time to come
A cute little Thai restaurant in UES with an interesting menu. While they have typical Thai items, they also have an assortment of noodle soups that I've never seen before at the usual run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant.
It was a pretty warm day, so I skipped the noodle soups and ordered my go-to Pad Thai instead, but my friends who ordered the noodle soups loved their dishes! My pad thai was really great as well. The noodles were cooked to a perfect al-dente, and the ratio of ingredients to noodle was perfect as well! With an extra squeeze of lime juice, the noodle dish was exactly how I liked it! Portions were..controlled. Honestly if I could have my way, I would have doubled the size of my dish.
Service was fast and efficient. I like that they consider the ambiance of the restaurant, the dress of the servers (they wear cute boat hats!), and the decor. It definitely makes for a more interesting experience than dining at a typical Thai restaurant.
