Editorial Review for Lovely Day Restaurant – by Sasha Emmons
In Short
This tiny Nolita Thai joint is a favorite neighborhood hangout with its vintage decor of dainty flowered wallpaper and cozy red booths. The quick kitchen turns out fiery favorites--chicken satay with chunky peanut sauce, pad thai and steamed dumplings--and innovative desserts, like the sweet and savory banana roll. Best of all, nothing on the menu costs more than $10.

Insider Tips
Where to SitThe nine-table room has no vestibule or revolving door, causing customers to shiver from the draft on cold nights. Minimize the chill with a cozy booth seat off to the side.
The ExtrasThe restaurant delivers between West Broadway and Forsyth, and Bond and Broome.

This place has such a cute atmosphere. The food is tasty, and the prices are great. Your usual Thai fare. That said, the service is SLOW AS MOLASSES. I used to work in Soho and my friends and I would go to Lovely Day when we wanted to get away for a long, long lunch because we knew the service would be slow and we could always use that as an excuse when we got back to the office. Trust me, it will take forever for your food to get there! Also, I have found the servers to be quite rude. We still laugh and roll our eyes about the time I was simply glancing at the dinner menu written on a chalkboard at the wall and the server snapped at me, "Um, that's for DINNER, not lunch!"
Pros: Cute, hip atmosphere, good prices
Cons: Service is CONSISTENTLY slow

Been there a few times and enjoyed it everytime. Even though we've always had to wait a long time for a table, it turned out fine because we could grab a cup of wine, take it outside, sit on the benches and chat. It definitely has a neighborhood vibe. The crispy chicken nugget apetizers were really good, and so was my spicy eggplant with green sauce. The mojito was tasty too, and nothing was expensive, which is unusual for the area.
Pros: cheap eats, good people watching, yummy food
Cons: takes a while to be seated, a little cramped
