Pure Thai Cookhouse

One of the best Thai spots I've had around Midtown. Keep in mind their spicy is THAI SPICY. I can eat a bit of spice, but nothing beyond 'mild' is ok for me. When I've eaten at the restaurant, the waitress had advised that some dishes marked medium/spicy cannot be any less spicy because it's part of the sauce. The Wok Chili Turmeric Dish is one of those - it is SO good but srsly fire down your throat. Their Thai Iced Coffee is my fav by far too :)

I ordered from them one Tuesday fried rice and Pad thai. I checked Mild on both. The food must have been soaked in pepper for hours. I could not eat it and toseed it away. I figured it was the cook that night and he must of had a heavy hand with the spices. Tonight, Sunday, I reordered a soup and a basic shrimp dish. I double checked I clicked on mild and wrote an additional note to please make mild. Again..WOW..couldn't even touch the food! ON FIRE! Done ordering frm them. Clearly, they can't follow simple instructions!! What a waste of money--twice!

My favorite Thai place in the city, and since there is now one on every block that's saying a lot. Having been to thailand this is authentic. It's also decently priced and crazy tasty.

Wok Basil Dish with chicken was okay - made with ground chicken. Pad thai very average and a little dry. Rice was overcooked. Disappointing considering the high rating on Seamless.

Delivery was prompt; food was warm and delicious. Pure Thai never disappoints, either with delivery or at the restaurant. The soups are very good, though I wasn't brave enough to order something so spillable for delivery.

Best Thai in the neighborhood. The food is consistently good, the delivery is consistently fast and the staff are very nice. I've probably ordered from here over a hundred times and they only screwed up my order twice.

Wonderful Thai food! It's real, it is tasty, it is spicy (if you order it spicy)!

The food is decent but the portions are TINY! I ordered the dinner portion after reading that the portions were tiny and what arrived was still smaller than what I would expect of a lunch portion. Definitely not worth it in a neighborhood that's overflowing with great Thai food options.

The Pad Thai was really good and the Fried Rice was pretty good. The chicken curry puffs were nice too. The portions were huge but unfortunately it was mainly noodles and rice and not enough chicken and beef respectively. Delivery took exactly an hour but they said 45-60 minutes so I know what I signed up for. More protein next time = 5 stars, until then 4 stars.

My favorite thai place; a delightful discovery! The menu is short, but that's because everything is so good, and, though I'm no expert, seems authentic. Not your average, run of the mill Pad Thai and curry puff place (though the pad thai and curry puff are great). I've had great luck with all the noodles I've tried. Difficult to go wrong with the daily specials. Personal fave!

By far the best Thai restaurant in the city. The papaya salad is amazingly fresh and good. The egg noodles are to die for. However, i suggest eating it there, the glass noodle dish is great as well. everything is fresh and delicious. delivery time is on target as well.

A noodle dish was ordered medium spicy and we are no strangers to spice. We thrive on it. This food was incendiary and inedible and apart from heat it was devoid of flavor. Someone wrote " Best Thai on 9th Ave". Hogwash!

Studied abroad in Thailand and this is the only thai restaurant in the states that is as authentic as can be. Delish crab fried rice and curry puffs! Watch out, the food is SPICY though. I order mild and it's still quite hot!
