Loved this place. We ate the coconut shrimp appetizer, and for our main dishes we had tamarin duck and pad Tai beef. Best we've ever had. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked great. Service was great also. Food came out fast and sequenced well. Ambiance was quiet pleasant, a little warm for my task. Will definitely return. Thank you.
I got some lunch here with friends and it was really good. I think the lunch special here is pretty unbeatable. The specials range from $11-16 dollars and include an appetizer and main dish. The appetizer is a bit small but the main was big! There isn't a strong AC so the space was a bit hot but I cooled off with the lychee Thai iced tea and it was good! The server was very attentive and friendly. This is a good lunch spot if you're in the area.
I think this is some of the best Thai food in nyc! My only complaint is they don't really have any specials.
I didn't snag a picture of the smooth, velvety creaminess of the delicious masaman curry because I was busy inhaling it! I really enjoy this place and I realize I should have been going here way more often than I did over the last three years living so close. It's a hard city to leave because of the places like this that are really worth the price. Alan Larb had reasonable prices and the foods just so good... The steak salad, the pad se ew. It's all so good. Next time I'm getting that roast duck curry for sure. I'll report back on some more soon too.
Ordered from them again! Pad Se Ew (with beef): The noodles were good and chewy. Flavorful sauce but what a shame because we paid an extra $2 for beef that was too dry. 3.5/5 Crab fried rice: They do not skimp on the crab and this dish is just so filling and the lime balances out the greasiness of the rice and equalizes any fishiness of the crab. Tastes like real crab. I wish there was an option to add some hot sauce or like fish sauce though. 4.8/5 Chicken wings: There were 2 drumsticks and 2 wings. Fried but juicy and had some light peppery chilli flakes sprinkled on it. Wow. Just so good and wish there was more than 4! 5/5
GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!! Honestly such a hidden gem in Murray Hill! The food here tastes incredible and the people who work here are very nice as well. This is a great spot for a chiller date night or if you're looking for a local thai spot!
I recently placed a takeout order from Lan Larb, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food and the efficiency of their service. Just 15 minutes after placing my order, it was ready for pickup, and everything was packaged neatly. The Pad Kee Mao was the highlight of my meal. It had a flavorful and perfect soggy texture that wasn't too spicy, making it an absolute delight. The chicken stood out for its moist and rich flavor, a noticeable step above what I've experienced elsewhere.
Ordered from Lan Larb for the first time via GrubHub. The order was delivered fairly quickly but the tupperwares the food came in didn't close well and all the sauce leaking from the dishes was all over the bag and the dish itself. We got coconut shrimp, drunken noodles with beef, and minced pork Thai basil. Both dishes were great but they were VERY spicy. Definitely have to tell them to reduce the spice level next time we order from here. Overall a solid choice for take out! O
Love that there's a reliable Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Ordered take-out and it was ready in 20 mins. Friendly staff. Here's what we ordered: - Red Curry Duck: Delicious. Duck was cooked well, skin crispy, but not dried out. Curry was delicious as well with fresh veggies. We even had leftover and saved it to eat over rice the next day. - Shrimp Pad Thai: Shrimps were fresh and not mushy at all. Pad Thai had the balance of flavors - sweet, tangy, spicy. Would definitely come back.
