Sabai Thai
Adorned with a modern interior and high ceilings, Sabai Thai’s initial impression promises elevated Thai cuisine in an upscale atmosphere.
To my disappointment, the food fell way short of expectations. The Khao Pad Kra Pow was plain bad and one of the worst I’ve had. The chicken was bland, the rice was hard, and the egg was overcooked. We also ordered the pineapple duck curry which turned out average. The curry lacked flavor and the duck was generic and unflavored as well.
We were originally going to finish with the mango sticky rice which looked amazing in the pictures but decided otherwise based on the dinner.
I’d recommend trying out the large selection of other Thai options in NYC, most of which are also cheaper than Sabai. There are tons of great options including Mitr Thai, Pranakhon, and Soothr just to list a few.

Yunnan Rice Noodle House
A small chain that mainly serves a steaming stone pot soup where you add a variety of toppings and chewy noodles. Its a great spot if you're craving noodles or a warm broth. The texture of the noodles was great, though I think the soup lacked a bit of flavor (still pretty good though). I would recommend the original soup if it's your first time trying, the pickled soup was slightly odd.
Other than the food, the place is well decorated and service is responsive. Bonus points since the food was extremely affordable and their appetizer was huge.

Temperance Wine Bar
A cute wine bar with a great selection of wine. The staff is knowledge and will help you out with the menu.
Their wine flights are great for trying out wines and they're happy to adjust based on your liking. Overall great vibes. It's a bit less crowded than other wine bars, also a bit less of an intimate ambience.
