always delicious and fast. Thai 51 is never greasy like other thai places we've tried. The Pineapple chicken is one of our favs.

I don't even want to give this place one star. I ordered a tom yum noodle soup and it arrived with a TON of chopped peanuts in it. I couldn't even eat it because I was getting a mouthful of peanuts in every bite. WASTE OF MONEY. Every authentic thai restaurant that I have ever eaten at has never put peanuts in their tom yum soup.

Food - 3/5. I ordered the Green Curry Chicken lunch special and it was good - BUT WAY TOO SPICY! You don't get to choose the spice level at all but since I typically get Medium spiced thai food, I wasn't concerned. However, I could barely enjoy this meal because my mouth was burning like crazy. So it was hard to really evaluate the quality and flavor of the curry. Also, it comes with a "spring roll" - but this was definitely more of an egg roll which I don't like as much. Price - 5/5. The lunch special is a good value, mostly because you get a REAL portion of food! I hate getting the lunch special at some places because they basically give you half of the food, which doesn't make it a special when you think about it. Speed of Delivery - 5/5 (got there in 20 mins when scheduled for 30-45 mins). Delivery guy was nice enough.

Agreed, abyssmal thai. Watered down tom kha soup with basically raw vegetables dropped in, and "thai spring roll" was really a chinese egg roll. Won't return.

Yuck! Soggy, greasy, tasteless pad thai. The "spring rolls" were made with thick, wheat wraps (not rice paper) and were horrible and chewy. Will never order from here again.

Pad Thai was good - the veggie dumpling looked like leftovers. I never saw corn and peas in thai dumplings.

Absolutely delicious. Very flavorful, expertly cooked thai food. Best thai I can remember having in a long time.

This place has fantastic food! Absolutely the best Pad Thai I've had in NYC, wonderful green curry. All the sauces are to die for. The Chicken Sate and Vegetable dumplings also were delicious

One of the best Thai restaurants in midtown east. Generous portions, quick delivery, consistent food quality.

Very good. I like the green curry and spring rolls but the pad thai is also good. Some days are better than others. I have ordered many things on the menu and they are all good.

Ordered the Pad See Ew lunch special as recommended to me by some coworkers. Was not very impressed. The sauce was not spread evenly around the noodles and the overall taste was fairly bland. I imagine the food is better when you eat at the actual restaurant, but this is on my lower end of Thai takeout in the city.
