Worst THAI !!!

by Aurelien

Ordered several dishes of whom none were satisfactory !

the lunch special chicken green curry was 80 % rice and not bland, the pad Thai was burnt and dry, the soup only tiny bits of chicken an chilly utterly tasteless, the beef salad simply awefull !! I'm wondering whether anyone in the restaurant is Thai or has even any knowledge of Thai cuisine !??

EXTREMELY disappointing, wouldn't recommend it to anyone !!

Cosy, casual, charming

by winnieholden

Our experience here couldn't have been lovelier. We found the place by asking a passing New Yorker where we could get good Thai food in the neighborhood, and were delighted with his recommendation of Kobma Thai. The aura is casual without being the least bit dumpy. The big glass windows lend a nice airiness. The other diners seemed to be enjoying themselves in a leisurely fashion, treating it like their own living rooms. Our server was excellent, the Pad Thai was delicious, and we'll be certain to dine there again. Due to a few amusing touches about the place, we suspect that the owner has a good sense of humor. Kobma Thai just put us in a good mood. Definitely a good choice for taking visitors to the city (the prices are really reasonable) or meeting up with friends. Also excellent for a date.

• Pros: A winner in every particular

Fast Fantastic Thai Food

by mekit8

Mepa's sweet savory secret. This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Manhattan no holds bar. While others are beholden to Spice and Tamarind I'll take Kobma Thai anyday. You can't go wrong with Chicken Pad Se El or Ladd Na. The atmosphere is relaxed, they open the front windows in the summer for an outdoor dining feel without the inconvience of sidewalk foot traffic interupting the meal. There is also a completely closed inner room as well. The wait staff is very friendly. This is a great place to meet friends for a meal or take visiting family members.

• Pros: Everything
