Spice (Upper West Side) - New York, NY

I had lunch with a group of 5, we ordered the appetizer platter and 5 different main menu dishes, including the comfort soup, the fried rice with shrimps, red curry, and some others which name i can't remember. Everything was deliciously, except for the fried rice, which was very moist and oily and was missing spice. I highly recommend the red curry. The atmosphere and service were outstanding.

The food was pretty good (i had thai basil eggplant with mock duck), I thought it was a little pricey but the portions are very reasonable.

We came in for lunch and ordered the Aged porkshop, porkbelly curry and the half crispy duck and it was spectacular! Definitely Recommend!

Came by for lunch on a whim while walking through UWS and was very happy with the decision. The team was very kind and polite, the menu had great selection, and the happy hour drink menu was a treat! I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and it was some of the best Pad Thai I ever had! They were very accommodating towards my request for a milder spice level. I got the Thai Breeze Cocktail and it was delicious! The ambiance was very chill and the music choice was fantastic. Overall a great experience leaving me full and satisfied! 10/10 would recommend!

Lovely and inviting place that drew me and my Thai food loving daughters in! They helped me select a less spicy option while they selected the more potent fare! Loved the "taco" appetizers, especially 😋

Great food. You need to pay attention to how spicy the food is as in Thialand what they consider as mild will be very hot here.

UPDATED REVIEW 2024:
While the food is still good and so is the service here. I will say that the lunch portion has been downsized a bit. I believe the prices have for the most part remained reasonable but don't expect to have the huge portions I described below. I still believe it's a good lunch spot and the lunch menu also includes an small appetizer. The drinks are good, my favorite is the Lychee Martini.

Original Review 2019:
I have come here twice already and I highly recommend it. The lunch specials are reasonably priced for the area and the portions are huge. A Pad Thai fried rice lunch special can feed two. It also comes with an complementary appetizer. Service ribris fast and friendly. And unlike other places where the suggested gratuity says 18% of the bill does not equal 18%, this place is on point. They also have outside seating. The desserts are a bit pricey but they look delicious. I have not tried them yet. Overall, good place to grab a filling and delicious lunch if you work or live in the area! Will be recommending this spot to people!

My family and I recently dined at Spice, and it was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I ordered the drunken noodles, and while the flavors were on point, I found the dish a bit too soggy for my liking. The texture didn't quite match my expectations, and I prefer a firmer consistency in my noodle dishes.

On a brighter note, I also tried the Massaman Curry, and while it was tasty, I personally wished it had a bit more coconut flavor. The richness of coconut is something I look forward to in a Massaman Curry, and I felt it was a bit subdued in this particular dish.

Service at Spice was definitely a highlight - fast and friendly. The staff was attentive and ready to assist with any requests or questions we had. It contributed positively to the overall dining experience.

The decor of the restaurant is charming and cute. It creates a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, making it an enjoyable place to dine with family. The ambiance definitely adds to the overall appeal of Spice.
