A big shoutout to the owner and the entire team behind this incredibly successful restaurant. From the vibrant atmosphere to the thoughtfully crafted food and drinks — we absolutely loved it.We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender, who not only shared insights about the place but also guided us to some of the best dishes on the menu.What really stood out to me was the flavor profile: a perfectly balanced mix of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty — something many Thai restaurants tend to overdo. Here, it's done just right.We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we're in NYC.

Thai Villa offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that beautifully complements its authentic Thai cuisine. During my visit, I sampled the Red Curry, Chicken Garlic, and Pad Thai—and each dish delivered in both flavor and presentation.The Red Curry was a standout: rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, with a balance of heat and sweetness that made every bite satisfying. The vegetables were fresh and tender, and the coconut base was aromatic without being overwhelming.The Chicken Garlic was simple but well-executed—tender slices of chicken in a savory garlic sauce that wasn’t too salty, with just the right amount of crisped garlic on top to add a burst of flavor.As for the Pad Thai, it hit all the right notes: chewy noodles, balanced sweetness and tang, and just the right amount of crunch from peanuts and fresh bean sprouts. Classic, comforting, and delicious.Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the elegant decor made for a relaxing dining experience. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.Overall, Thai Villa delivers a consistently flavorful and satisfying Thai dining experience. Highly recommended for both casual dinners and special occasions.

We arrived around 9:30 PM and were told there was a one-hour wait for indoor seating, but luckily we got an outdoor table right away. We started with a beer and a cocktail—both were spot on. For appetizers, we had the coconut calamari and the papaya salad, both delicious. Our mains included the Massaman chicken and another dish I unfortunately don’t recall the name of, but they were both fantastic. We finished with the mango sticky rice—so good! Tory, our server, was lovely and very attentive. I’d definitely come back, especially with a reservation to enjoy the beautiful interior.

So so so good! Everything we got here was delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful - they’ll let you know what can be customized and what can’t. It was super kid friendly too - we went with our toddler and the folks there gave us a really nice booth where we could easily let our toddler sleep. Definitely go and check out this place if you haven’t. Would recommend making a reservation before going. Great spot!

I thought the food was hit or miss. While I loved the fried banana blossom salad and couldn't stop eating it, I didn't like the vegetable dumplings. The texture was interesting and complex, but the flavor want there. The crispy duck curry was tasty, but the duck wasn't very crispy.The staff was very attentive and friendly. on the other hand, the pieces is loud and the tables are crammed together. Feels too busy, not good for conversation or an intimate dinner.The menu has tons of interesting dishes of modern and traditional Thai cuisine, but I'm not sure if I want to eat again somewhere so loud and busy.
