Used to love this place but not anymore!! The waiter was super rude and wasn’t kind when greeting us or taking orders. When it came time to pay the bill, my boyfriend paid in cash and the waiter took the money then came back to the table and literally shook the money and asked “is this all you’re going to give me?” Like? And it was a 18% tip….. My bf tipped him more to calm him down. I have never experienced that type of hostility from a waiter it was actually quite scary how angry he was. The wait staff seems quite unhappy it’s sad.
The Big Apple! So many places to choose from when dining in New York City, deciding where to go and what cuisine to eat will be your biggest challenge. As luck would have it, we chose Thai and not far from our place in Manhattan we visited Lan Larb Esan, a cozy street front Thai restaurant.
A range of Thai beers and various wines to start with were offered which complemented the food just fine.
For starters we shared spring rolls and a grilled satay chicken. Both were good while the chicken had a lovely spicy gooey dip to be drizzled over enhancing its texture and flavour.
For the mains, we ordered a noodle similar to Pad Thai along with some plain sticky rice and Penang curry.
Overall, the food was lovely and if you are in the area and in the mood for Thai, this New York Times featured cozy place is a good place to visit.

Second time here and the food has been incredible both times. First time around ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and today I had the Beef Pad See ew. Not only is the food delicious but the servings are huge for a very affordable price.
Staff has been very friendly and the food is always served quickly. Love this place, think I found my new go to for Thai in the city!

What a gem! Authentic Thai food with great service. I loved their pork belly. The liver salad was excellent - highly recommend if you're an adventurous eater.
We got seated immediately and got a nice sized service for about $15 per person. The person who took our order was super efficient and very kind. This was a perfect place for us to end our day!
Surprising to find the lunch menu that is this good. For $12 set, you get appetizers and a main dish that has enough combo to satisfied everyone. Cute store and good service.
this was so so good! they have vegan options and really good drinks. the prices are pretty good and the portions are big. my friends and i had a good time :) we ordered their coconut shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious! i highly recommend.
Lovely neighborhood Thai restaurant. Super friendly staffs, lots of choices on the menu. I love everything I ordered, coconut crust shrimp (crispy and perfect with sauce) and papaya salad (fresh and tasty) my favorite drunken noodle and eggplant basil. We also had their taro custard, warm and delicious. Would definitely go back again.
