Solid Thai spot on the upper east side. The food is good, but the space is very small and with delivery workers coming in and out to pick up deliveries it can make that atmosphere less than relaxing. The fish was my favorite dish, but the duck roll was also tasty.

Marwin offers the expected Thai staples. The duo pork over rice ($19.95 plus tax) reflects a sweetened Westernized take on Thai food rather than a more traditional approach.

Marine is a nice neighbourhood Thai spot but it’s not the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. I think that if you want to come here you’ll need to call ahead to see if there’s room because it’s a very small restaurant and I don’t think they take reservations. The chicken pad Thai was probably a 7.8 out of 10 and the Green curry was decent. I would come back, but I don’t think I would go out of my way to come eat here.

Had the lunch special street fried rice for pickup, and also the tom yum soup. Lunch special came with vegetable soup and crackers. Overall tasted good, portion size average for the price, price is higher given location. Soup tasted better than the rice. Crackers tasted good.

Cute Thai restaurant on the UES. The portion sizes are quite generous and the food is fragrant and tasty.We ordered the roti massamam which was really delicious although the roti was a bit thin. The pork prik khing was super flavorful and had a nice crispiness. The pineapple fried rice was also great.Definitely visit if you’re in the area !!
