  1. The food is good but, not outstanding.
  2. The food was the best!
  3. The menu is creative, yet you can have the standard Thai food as well.
  4. the food was quite good but the portion was small compared to the price you pay for it.
  5. Overall, it's a nice place to enjoy food.
  6. also had the seafood in banana cup, which is actually served in a huge leaf formed into a bowl.
  7. had the bass with watercress greens and must say it was perfect in every respect - finished every last grain of rice with the flavorful sauce.
  8. The food is very good from what we tried of the large menu - which is actually a drawback; larger menus generally risk being inconsistent with
  9. felt the prices are very reasonable, service was good and the food was delicious.
  10. flavour. The wild mushroom dumplings are amazing!
  11. would, and do plan on going there again for affordable and yummy thai food.
  12. This place is good for food before or after the theater or just drinks -- the cool and festive atmosphere adds to the fun and makes it a relaxing spot, not to be missed.
  13. had the butternut squash ravioli in a thai yellow curry sauce which was very good but other items were avg.
  14. All I can say is the service was good, especially since they took their terrible food back and reimbursed us without argument.
  15. My meal at Breeze was ok--my boyfriend's meal was absolutely terrible.
  16. Amazing atmoshpere, food and drinks!
  17. The staff was nice about substituting chicken curry instead, but that turned out to be pretty lousy also.
  18. Tasty food within Theater district
  19. what a pleasure to finally find a great place to eat in the theater district offering smart asian fusion fare, tasty but not overspicy, with a european twist.
  20. would order this dish again, but next time i would substitute the beef for shrimp.
  21. Then of course they put the hideous beef (which was more expensive) on the bill instead of the merely sub-par chicken curry which we had to ask them to change.
  22. My friends chicken breast on the other hand seemed dry so I wouldn't recommend that dish (although the sauce was good).
  23. what a pleasant surprise to find in the generally touristy and overpriced theater district this gem of a restaurant with yummy dishes prepared with a real sense of flavor and invention, and not the usual banal asian fare.
  24. The steak is a little dry and the sandwich really lacks flavor.
  25. the wait staff was incredibly friendly and everything i ordered was delicious.
  26. Service is friendly and helpful, more so than in most area eateries -- prices are moderate considering the quality of the food.
  27. Breeze with its Thai food offerings and cool Modern decor is a welcome break in monotony.
  28. The St. Louis was awesome, strong but tasty.

  3. Still, this small modern eatery with cool menus is a good pick if you're looking for somewhere near Times Square that isn't diner-like.

I found this restaurant on citysearch and used the offer for the $20 sangria pitchers. the food is fantastic and the staff is so helpful. its not a huge restaurant but its ambience in great. I had the chicken pad thai its honestly some of the best pad thai I've ever tasted. if you go to breeze get the sangria pitchers its soooooo worth it! they really are the best thai restaurant in nyc

Delicious!

by YoungMD

I stopped here for lunch and was very impressed with the food. I ordered the Pad Thai noodles. It was fantastic!! My husband had a miso soup with tofu and a cashew chicken dish. They both had amazing flavor without all the salty taste I'm used to with these types of dishes! The decor is cool and simplistic (Ikea-style). I will definitely be back!!

Great Thai

by gaiamcraft

I went here a few times with friends. The food is very good from what we tried of the large menu - which is actually a drawback; larger menus generally risk being inconsistent with flavour. The wild mushroom dumplings are amazing! We tried dishes that were highlighted and were not disappointed. The drinks are ok, but nothing special. The service doesn't stand out much either. Overall, it's a nice place to enjoy food.

  • Pros: Food
  • Cons: Large menu

Not so impressive Sandwiches

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor

Ordered their lunch special Southeast Asian Sandwich with Flank Steak. I had high hope really. It turned out to be a bit disappointing.

The steak is a little dry and the sandwich really lacks flavor. I added on the green mayo that comes with it as well as some marinated pickle onion but that doesn't help the situation.

I guess maybe their other dishes will be better?

  • Pros: Cheap and fast
  • Cons: Blend
