Best Thai on the Upper West Side
by Chris2122000 , Citysearch Contributor
I am a bit biased. The only two places that I go for Thai is Sripraphai in Queens and Amanpuri in Thailand, so when I found this place I was shocked at the quality. Yeh, I said it, I am cooler than you. This place is cozy, the staff is friendly and the food is excellent. Despite the occasional wait, it is worth visit.
They stink !!!
by Stellaaaa
The last 2 days we all have been smelling a horrible chemical fuel fumes coming from the alley that connects Land & 5 apartments buildings in the alley.
Yesterday when I came home I couldn't breathe in my bedroom & had to turn on 2 bionair filters (which helped a little).
This morning the smell waved into my bedroom & I looked outside my kitchen window .
Land was barbecuing a whole baby piglet on one of those pits where the piglets rolls around over the coals .
I went out there to complain.
But , they ignored me till a gentle man that lives above the restaurant complained too.
Him & his wife just had 2 week old babies .
Than they took the piglet inside b/c of him(the macho cook wouldn't listen to a woman).
Please , don't give part patronage to this restaurant .
Not ,only do they not care about their neighbors but have absolutely no care for the environment !!!
PS
I'll be posting the gruesome picture on the internet .
For those who know me ... & my love of animals .
It was a hard thing to look at and take a photo of that innocent piglet .
But , I felt that I had to put away my emotions & expose the horror I saw in my own home turf !!!
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everything , horrible neighbors
Thai Land
by Evanismo , Citysearch Contributor
I had passed by here many times before I actually decided to dine here late on a rainy Sunday. Land is perfectly New York: Old World cuisine complemented by New World sleekness; unpretentious and yet still conscious of its Upper West Side location. Its slim dining room and dim lighting exuded a date vibe, though the New Age-y music was a little trite. Oh, and the food: they offer classics like pad see ew, which came lightly sauced and full of veggies, and pan-Asian dishes like lamb in curry. Dessert ended the meal on a high note: creamy and smooth taro root custard topped with pistachio ice cream, and a homemade heart-shaped Thai iced tea cookie. We also received very pleasant service, even as we were the last people in the restaurant and watched the kitchen staff finally sit down to its meal.
- Pros: Tasty, not too expensive
- Cons: Small space
A+++MAZING THAI SERVICE AND FOOD
by shopgalbda
Whenever my husband and I come to the city, we absolutely HAVE to eat at LAND. We dont' care that it is cramped and it is hard to get a seat because the food and service are great. You're never waiting FOREVER for your food and the ambience at night is quite lovely. We always get the Thai ice teas or some cocktail for drinks. I love the whole red snapper entre which is fried and served with an assortment of vegetables and rice. The noodles with beef are also very yummy!! Also, try the sample platter for an appetizer - the curry chicken puffs are delicious. There is sooooo much to choose on this menu, it is sure not to disappoint!!
True story -no BS - when I first went to LAND to eat, my husband and I were soooo impressed we went back the next night. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw another couple who were there the previous night also!! That alone should tell anyone that this place is definately a NYC keeper.
- Pros: excellent food, fast and polite service, ambience at night
- Cons: small and cramped seating (may be seated next to loud obnoxious talker)
Small, narrow, but delicious
by ZaneAnconia
Land is a literally a skinny hallway. Although the restaurant is small and narrow, it was lively and vivacious when you got inside. The stylish dim lighting give it an alluring, seductive undertone. Definitely go for the Drunken Noodle With Chicken, which is only $9.
