Q2 Thai

Q2: Quality and Quantity. We Understand Thai Spicy

  • $6.95 Lunch Specials
  • Free Delivery; no MSG added
  • Holiday Prix Fixe Menu

Restaurateurs M & P have created a new culinary formula for Thai cooking. Q2 = Quality x Quantity. Every dish boasts large portions at agreeable prices and proves that the best Thai food doesn't have to come from mom-and-pop shops.

Q2's decor brings some retro-sleek flair to Ninth Avenue, but there's nothing old school about Q2 Thai.This casual midtown eatery is every bit avant-garde American in design as it is traditional Thai in taste. Under the supervision of co-owner and Executive Chef Koh (whose restaurants include Hell's Kitchen Aceluck and Aura), the kitchen puts out authentic entrees and memorable specials packed with herbs and spices like basil and kefir leaves, lemongrass and galangal. The clarity of four flavors is so sharp and robust that you can taste sweet and sour, salty and spicy all at once. This palatable mingle is a cornerstone of Q2 Thai. Full bar license.

i got a chicken pad thai recently at this place and the food was burnt. it had that bad burnt taste throughout, and i probably won't have pad thai again for a very long time, until that taste goes away from my mouth. i would have returned it, but it was take out and was a long way to return it. if a thai place can't do basic pad thai, there's a problem. it's like a sushi place not being able to make a decent spicy tuna roll, or halal stand that makes bad shish kabab. their decor is tacky, and their attempt at looking trendy is so poorly executed. with the pick lights and mirrors, the place looks like a fricking strip joint. go next door to the less fancy looking wondee siam. they actually do authentic thai food very well. you should try their "chicken pad see-you" again, cuz you're the best thai dishes in nyc!

I went with my boyfriend because he had never had Thai food before. We ordered the sampler appetizer for 2 and had fun trying the different appetizers. We especially loved the calamari, the spring roll, and the shrimp roll. I had a delicious mai tai (of course it was as expensive as each of our meals). Then we each got an entree, and had fun picking off of each other's plates. The portions were fairly large and filling, and very good. All together we paid only about $45 so it was not too bad. Plus, the weather was really good and so they opened up the streetside wall, so it was like we were sitting outside since we were seated right by there. The atmosphere was nice and our water glasses never got before half-full before they were refilled - very good service. We will probably go back there to try some more things on the menu, overall it was a very nice dinner. I only wish they had offered us dessert before they brought us the check!

Pros: nice atmosphere, big portions, good food, good prices, fair service

Cons: they didn't offer us dessert before bringing the check!
