Second place in the city to have the best Pad Thai. Went there for the first time with a few friends for a farewell dinner and the pad Thai was excellent. Juicy, fresh, flavorful and enough.
I'm giving them 4 stars because the service in general was ok. However, the last waiter who took care of us, was like in a bad mood, asked for a table from us for the people next to us, and they were tons of tables in the back of the restaurant. He also rushed the bill and suggested that more people are coming and since we aren't drinking we should move to another table.
The food was good, prices are very cheap, the music was soft and not loud. Clean and chic atmosphere. But that specific waiter that I wished I had his name sucks.
I'll definitely go back and ask for another waiter if he is the one taking care of my table.
3.5***. Decor was nice and beautiful. Came here to celebrate friends birthday and it was a nice place to do it, however, seating was very tight. I ordered the spicy basil plate and boy was it spicy. Too spicy unfortunately. I could hardly taste the real flavors because it was so spicy. It's alright. There are definitely better places around the area.
Qi is my favorite place for lunch in the hood. The fried shrimp dumplings with tomato sauce and Kee Mao noodle are delicious!
Today, I have an important meeting at 1pm, I walked out of my office which is half block away around 12:15pm. I ordered right away and then started doing my own things at the bar table. I renewed my points for the meeting, I caught up the news of today, I got so starved and impatient…. At 12:45pm nothing showed up on my table and I found it hopeless to be able to eat gracefully and walk calmly to the meeting. So I left a note on the napkin and left the place with an empty stomach.
Very very very disappointed.
This review is for lunch takeout.
I got the lunch special shirmp Pad Seeyu stir friend noodles and its was delicious.
All of their lunches come with a free app and I chose the mushroom spring roll.
I really couldn't taste the mushrooms and i wasn't a fan that the sauce was inside the takeout box. Nothing leaked though.
My fiance had the spicy fried rice and it was DELICIOUS.
Will definitely come back for the pas see yu noodles AND the spicy fried rice.
minus 1 star for the small portions. Not sure about their dinner portions but the lunch was only good for 1 meal 🙁
I usually have leftovers from my usual thai spots in UES.
Another Thai place that saw both the traditional and modern cuisine combination.
While we came in on Tue night, it was not at all crowded, and it was pretty spacious anyway. Shared an app and two entrees, with the entrees of huge portion. Chicken pad Thai was of good quality, and not too salty (unlike majority other Thai places).
Interior decoration probably is their best selling point – it's like stepping into a small crystal palace with chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. Girls would love it!
This place was just alright. The food just tastes like regular take out food. It is only worth the money if you go during lunch time when the prices are cheaper. The drinks are okay, they were just very over priced- more than the meal itself). They were kind of rude because we asked to sit somewhere so we could have more room, but they did not allow us to- meanwhile it was super quiet in there. We were then a party of 5 being squished at a small table. I wouldn't really recommend coming here, the city has many other amazing places you can go to and really enjoy!
We were looking for a pre-theatre Thai spot, and Qi worked out great.
I have loved Thai food since I was a preschooler, and while I have nothing against the American Thai restaurant classics like Pad Thai and Panang curry, it's really easy to get bored of joints that only offer such popular, classic dishes and nothing else. We picked Qi because it had a menu with a mix of Thai restaurant staples and more unique and authentic dishes all available at the same time and place.
I had the Chiang Mai noodle soup, a yellow curry broth packed with chicken, flat rice noodles, pickled cabbage, onion, and cilantro and topped with crunchy fried noodles. My dinner companion got the chicken pumpkin curry, which she said was great as well.
My soup bowl was giant and full to the brim. No sign of the common Thai restaurant problem where you get tons of curry sauce with a measly handful of vegetables and a few slices of your chosen meat thrown in.
The ambiance was classy and a little clubby, and the waitstaff was competent and attentive. The convenience factor and interesting menu make Qi an option for a return visit when I'm craving Thai in the theater district.
Delivery was a MESS. WE called twice and they still missed parts of the orders and included allergy items in some meals – from which they were asked to exclude.
Despicable
Will be complaining to the manager and they will not be getting my business again.
