I've eaten here many times, especially alone because they have a nice ledge for solo diners. The food is always spectacular and comes out quick! It is Hell's Kitchen so don't expect the cheapest prices, but the quality of the food is very good. I love their noodle dishes and today I tried their fried rice. They put lots of lump crab meat and the rice was flavored very nicely. I recommend the papaya salad. It has the best fishy sauce with a spice that can be adjusted to mild if you like. They put peanuts and dry shrimps which add a nice crunchy texture to the cold zesty salad. The service is good too. They check in on you often. The inside is very narrow but they have two sides of the restaurant, so don't be fooled from the exterior!

My Bf and I spent the weekend in NYC and decided to visit this restaurant since we were both craving Thai. Safe to say, we both left full and satisfied! We were seated immediately despite how busy it was, and the restaurant itself is very small and cozy. We were sitting very close to another couple, but that did not take away from our dining experience. We ordered a mixed appetizer, which had two spring rolls, root vegetable puffs, and steamed vegetable dumplings. It came with a little sauce tray with 3 sauces to try. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to try out a variety of appetizers. The steamed dumplings were our personal favorite, they had a perfect nutty and sweet flavor. For drinks we went with the specials: watermelon limeade and mango paradise. My watermelon drink tasted refreshing and fresh, I was happy that they use the actual fruit instead of sugary syrup. Our main dishes were great as well. My pork noodles had a hearty broth with many ingredients like tofu, bean sprouts, and pork cracklings. When ordering, the waitress asked me if medium spicy was okay. I agreed, then immediately regretted as she walked away since I don't do well with overly spicy food, especially Thai spice, they do not mess around!! I decided to accept my fate. When I received my dish, it was not as spicy as I thought it would be! The waitress did bring over some spicy sauce that we could add to our dish for more flavor, but I did not try it. We did not end up getting dessert because we were stuffed. Overall, the experience was great. Fast service, wonderful food, and a cozy atmosphere. If we end up in NYC again, we will be back!

The beau and I walked by and decided to pop in. The place was jumping and they could only seat us at a bar along the wall which was totally fine. We were excited to be in a new Thai place (for us) as we are always in search of good Thai food. This place did not disappoint. The food is outstanding. Just the right spice levels and the dishes were hot and elegantly prepared. Definitely made to order with fresh ingredients. Service was fast and attentive and the place takes up two storefronts so don't be fooled by what looks like a tiny shop from the street. We can't wait to go back and work our way through the menu.

*This review is for delivery* -- and I normally hate leaving restaurant reviews when I've eaten the food at home, but damn, this was a great experience. Food came fast. Food was hot. And most importantly, everything we ordered was just stellar. * Pad Thai with beef. Ordered this for my husband, who's wary of spicy food. He liked it. Nothing amazing, but an awfully solid pad Thai, for sure. * The crab and pork dry noodle. Husband raved about this, and ate it all himself. * The chicken bao buns. Really loved these -- the chicken was cooked perfectly. I was a little skeptical that the bao would be necessary, but it was a great combination. * Pad kee mao -- I ordered this for myself, wavering on how spicy to get it. "Medium" was perfect -- it was hot, but not at all overpoweringly so. Of all the Thai restaurants in Hells Kitchen (and there are quite a few), this is my favorite so far. Will definitely eat *at* Pure Thai Cookhouse when I get a chance.

Made same day reservations, would definitely especially for dinner as it's a very small place with limited seating. We love coming here for lunch and dinner. This time we started with the wings which were perfectly crispy and came with a delicious Thai chili sauce which we had to ask extra of. The specialty crispy potatoes were also very good. For mains we shared the beef pad see ew, green curry and the crispy pork special. The pork wasn't as crispy as we expected but the beef pad see ew was the star of the show. Definitely give it a try!

Coworker recommended this cute Thai place, and she said this is one of the best in the area. After a first testing, I can see why would she say so. Tried their flat noodles with duck meat, the soup was particularly delicious!! The soup has just the right amount of noodles and meat. Would recommend！

Every time I pass by this restaurant, there's always a huge line so I was very excited to finally try this place out. Made a reservation beforehand and was surprised there weren't many people here on a weekend, I guess it's a weekday spot. I ordered the Nakorn-Patom Duck Noodles Soup which is not something I would order usually but this dish was pretty good. Although this isn't my favorite way to eat duck, I appreciate how flavorful the soup was as well as all the different type of ingredients they put in the dish. I especially loved how the water spinach soaked up all the broth. Next time I come, I will try their dry noodles which seems more popular on Yelp. Not a bad place to get quick lunch at all! Would definitely come back but always with a reservation.

Server: "How's everything?" Me and my mom: "very good" ------ this sums up our experience Ambience looks so vintage thai, food is better than any LA spots. Will come again. 11/10. Pad Thai noodles so chewy! Amazing!

Made a reservation for 6 pm on a Monday night through open table. This place is located in Hell's Kitchen area, so it's safe to walk around in the streets with your group. You need to have all party members there to be seated. Once we arrived, we were sat immediately. At first, it seems cramped, but it's like an intricate maze that leads to a larger area. Service was attentive, kind, and efficient since some of my friends had questions about what the staff recommended on what's spicy or good drinks. The pace of the menu was good since we ordered a several side dishes and individual entrees. I got their specialty non-alcoholic drink- pure iced tea. It was a refreshing concoction of mint, cucumber, lime, and jasmine tea. They only had 1 left, so I had to order the last one. Great drink that cleansed my palate from the spice and the oily foods. We got appetizers: tofu, mixed appetizers that came in pairs of spring rolls, root veggie puffs, and steamed veggie dumplings. All of them were great starters with lots of taste fresh vegetables. My main entrees was the pad see ew with calamari. A very memorable flavor profile that was mostly sweet with some bitterness from the vegetables to balance each other out. The consistency of the noodles were soft, elastic, and definitely cooked well. Awesome dinner and venue to go for a date or group
