    Very nice atmosphere, particularly in the outdoor seating area. The service was quick and the waiters were nice. The food was quite fresh. All the appetizers were well prepared. The noodles were cooked perfectly with flavorful sauces and fresh vegetables. Massaman curry with avocado and chicken was flavorful and fresh.

    Amazing Thai food and ambiance, if you are in town and can spare time for a visit I highly recommend this place. Our hostess did get a bit distracted and we waited a bit longer than necessary during our food service (she also forgot to bring my wife’s second drink) but asides from this the ambiance, food quality and taste; and overall atmosphere and other staff more than made up for it. Keep up the great work!

    Found this super Instagram-worthy Thai restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. We kicked things off with the papaya salad - good but not as spicy as we usually go for. The wings were good, although not our top pick. I went for the cashew chicken with pineapple, and it was a total hit for me. My partner tried the pad see ew but said it needed more flavor, so he borrowed some sauce from my dish. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I’d totally order the cashew chicken again.

    Always a great time to get some Thai food here. From the decor to the music to the food, you will always have a good time. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are always solid and I love the Crab Rangoon appetizer which is always on point. The service can be spotty, however the rest of the experience is always fun.

    Good Thai restaurant with nice decor. Appetizers were ok, entrees taste much better and were very quick to table. Even though when we called it showed 30 min wait, luckily we were seated right after away. Lively and colorful vibe with neon lights and dragon stretching across the restaurant ceiling. No rush service on a Friday night.

    Cool ambience and played great music throughout the night, but food is okay. I enjoyed the basil fried rice and pad Thai (not pictured below). The Thai tea was average, definitely had better.

    At V{IV}, the Pineapple Fried Rice is a standout, blending spicy rice with sweet, hot pineapple for an unforgettable taste. The Volcano Chicken, tender and melting in a delectable gravy, is a must-try. Even as a non-fish lover, I was impressed by their fish dish's exquisite flavor and preparation. This Thai restaurant combines great food with a welcoming atmosphere, making it a top choice for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

    Amazing vibe with great food quality. The service is fast and the server are courteous. I would highly recommend this place for tasty Thai food. We visited this place on Tuesday evening with no wait time and got seated promptly. We ordered VIV platter and chicken drunken noodle along with On cloud nine signature cocktail.

    Such a fun atmosphere, very colorful with good music that's not too loud. Tables are very close but still comfortable. Service was fabulous and food was super authentic tasting with huge proportions, share or to go boxes might be your friend.

    As you walk in you’ll know that the vibe is so neat, but then the service comes which is excellent, followed by the most amazing food! Also great prices too! So not miss this place! Chicken & Shrimp dumplings - amazing! Like the best McNuggets you could ever get! Pad se ew was incredible, plus the avocado massaman curry was soooo good!!

    Excellent food. Wonderful atmosphere. Very fun, well thought out interior decorations and design. Lot's of cool things to look at, including a big feature (a dragon if my memory is correct) hanging in the hallway. Our server was very friendly. The food came out quickly, hot, and was very good. My table had a couple of the curry dishes. I've been to about 20 Thai restaurants, and this is definitely near the very top in terms of overall experience.

    Such an amazing Thai restaurant! I love the ambiance here but that’s not the best part. Service is impeccable and the food is as authentic as it gets. I started off with a Thai iced tea, followed by—you guessed it — a glass of Chardonnay to wash down the wonderful spring rolls and green curry chicken. By far one of my favorites for lunch in NYC.

    We stopped there for lunch on a trip to the city. Amazing fresh taste. Each string of flavor from the coconut milk to basil was distinct and palatable

    Wir waren zwei mal zum Mittagessen dort. Es hat uns beim ersten mal so gut gefallen das wir am nächsten Tag wieder hingegangen sind. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen. Sehr leckeres Essen und das Personal ist unglaublich zuvorkommend.

    I had an amazing dining experience. I ordered the Chicken Dumplings, Thai Iced Tea, and Red Curry. The food was exceptionally delicious! The chicken dumplings were cooked to perfection with a well-balanced flavor. The Red Curry was also flavorful and was served with perfectly cooked rice. The Thai Iced Tea was refreshing and complemented the spicy flavors of the curry. The decor of the restaurant was also great, with a beautiful ambience that added to the whole dining experience. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Thai food experience in a beautifully decorated setting. Highly recommended!

    My friend and I came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant was not packed and we were quickly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is lowly dimmed and music was catchy. We ordered the Thai iced tea, VIV crispy wings, pineapple fried rice and Khoi Soi chicken noodles. The wings were delicious and tangy. I highly recommend ordering that. The pineapple fried rice was delicious and balanced.

    Amazing atmosphere and food! The neon dragon hanging along the ceiling is so cool and clever. We had the Thai sausage appetizer and my friend had the Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly and I had khao soy. Everything tasted great!

    The food, the drinks, the music is great!!! But unfortunately the service wasn't good for us today, we had to literally chase our server. But he was very attentive with other people. We will definitely go back but request a different server. BTW, you gotta try the leeche margarita! 😋

    Ambiance was great. Music was a smidge loud but that's ok. We couldn't get a reservation because we weren't a party of 5 or more. Wait list wasn't available so we had to just wait. Drinks were incredible! Food was awesome. We got the scallion pancake, calamari, duck and spicy noodles. All hot and yummy. Would definitely return.

    We loved this place. It was our 1st time and we were impressed! Great service and even better food. We shared the basil fried rice. I had the Tom Kha soup with tofu. My husband said it was the best basil fried rice he has ever had! I also had their version of a old fashion which is made with ginger simple syrup. Yum!

    Reasonably priced Thai food. They have a good variety of items and do the classics very well. It's americanized Thai, so expect dishes to be more sweet, less spicy. Portions are super generous and prices are fair. Staff is friendly and the ambiance is festive.

    Great Thai food in Hell’s Kitchen! Very cozy inside. Their bathrooms are small but very cool - make sure to check them out.

  • 5/5 Pankaj S. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrific food, atmosphere and staff! One of the best flavor-packed Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to - and I frequent Thai food. The Pineapple fried rice makes a statement and the dishes are full of flavor with a great presentation. Don’t hesitate, Viv Thai won’t disappoint. Looking forward to coming back here again!!! :)

    Great selection of dishes, fun vibe, and good food. We ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and it came out hot, tasty. The snapper was bathed in a sweet and sour sauce, texture was really good. The dish gets cold pretty quickly so eat fast but otherwise I enjoyed it. Would recommend as a Thai option in the area.

  • 5/5 Zoe L. 1 year ago on Google
    We went during happy hour. Great drinks and great prices. Shared a few appetizers and entrees. Everything was delicious and great portions. Service was very good. Even though it was busy, staff was still very attentive!

    Stopped by here for dinner after our touristy visit that included the Bryant Park Winter Village and the Rockefeller tree and Saks light show. The drunken noodles and Penang curry were both amazing. The noodles were nice and thin and well cooked. The chicken was spiced really well and curry was delicious. We also ordered the wings and the pineapple fried rice, which were just okay (even though the only picture I got was of the wings). The service was decent but the vibes were immaculate. 9/10 recommend, mainly for the drunken noodles. 😋

    Such a lovely restaurant. Tasteful, enchanting decor, well-chosen music that’s not overbearingly loud, and friendly table service that’s always right there when you need them. The food? Utterly delicious and flavorful. The sauces augment their dishes in such a unique and delightful way. The portions are perfect and every bite is perfect.

    Loved the place. Amazing decor with neon lights and dragon hanging from the roof. They have outdoor closed seating as well. Great service , amazing drinks and even better food. We ordered the basil fried rice vegetarian and fried rice with shrimp. The place is gets booked very quickly recommend adding yourself in waitlist.

    Very cool atmosphere and decor. Food had great presentation. We got the pad ke maw and the red curry. Both were fantastic. Drinks were really good too. Went for a birthday and the waiter was so accommodating with a candle on the dessert and a free round of green tea shots!

  • 5/5 S Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and drinks are amazing here and the staff is wonderful. 10 out of 10. We had a large group and the staff was top notch. We ordered various items from red curry, drunken noodles, pad Thai, fried rice and all of the dishes were delicious. We will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Kirathi S. 1 year ago on Google
    this place is kind of perfect - beautiful decoration, great food, great prices. you don’t see it often but we ordered the crab rangoons, a stir fry and noodles and everything was incredible. the interior has all of the walls decorated with flowers and it was overall a great time!

  • 5/5 Stanley C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow food was amazing. The waiters was friendly too. I definitely taste the authentic Thai flavors. The portion size was decent. You may share it too. That sausage fried rice is definitely hit the spot!

    We decided to come here for a work lunch to celebrate my birthday and the overall experience did not disappoint. From the food to the service and the aesthetic of the place, we were all very satisfied as a party of 4. 1 had never tried Thai cuisine and she had great things to say! We had a small issue that we told our waiter not to worry about, just a note for the team, and the server went above and beyond to take care of it. The bartender that heard it was my birthday gave us some complimentary shots which was also a nice surprise! Will definitely come again and recommend to others. Thank you for a great time!
