What's Good Here

Try the Khao Soi, the Burmese influenced signature dish of Chiang Mai - Northern Thai egg noodles in a rich curry broth, chicken , shrimp , red onions & dried shallots , topped with crispy noodles .

What's Good Here

Tired of curries or noodle dishes ? Order another authentic Thai dish: Pad Ka-Na with Crispy Pork . Ask for sticky rice to soak up the flavors.

I love thai food !!! You can't lose.....spicy curries and creative fusions. Love Vi{v}! The bathroom is super cool too...there's a black light and a floral mural on the wall that accents. Must go!

Thomas Pajor

Quite trendy Thai Restaurant and Bar . Food was excellent and the portions are big. If you're alone you might want to skip the appetizer or you'll feel very stuffed after the main course.

What's Good Here

You must order the delicious Chiang Mai sausage appetizer with its galangal and lemon grass flavors. The uber hip Pok Pok sells these for twice the price & for half as much.

What's Good Here

There are few NYC restaurants that rise above Americanized curry & Pad Thai offerings. ViV is one of them. Not only authentic , but they serve Chiang Mai dishes & you don't have to pay Pok Pok prices.

What's Good Here

Very authentic Thai dishes at one of the best in NYC. Even the decor transports you and makes you feel like you are in a club on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. (they can be forgiven for the crab rangoon .)

Katie Diehl

Ordered the Viv curry noodles , pad Thai and Thai sausage fried rice . Everything was excellent, but definitely headed back for the Thai sausage fried rice . Great happy hour menu

What's Good Here

For a hearty appetizer , order the BBQ Short Ribs . The ribs are marinated in an Asian sauce and not BBQ sauce from the Kraft sense of the word.

Alvester Garnett

Excellent quality food that reminds me of what I've had in Thailand. They also have nice $5 happy hour drink specials . Very nice decor too.

Talia DiLandro

Chic , cozy new bar in HK. Drinks were nice to look at and even better to taste. Service is good and friendly , even complimentary lemon drops , thank you! HK welcomes VIV to the neighborhood : )

What's Good Here

I'm not sure why crab rangoon is on the menu since it is an American invention from Trader Vics. The dead giveaway is the cream cheese . Try and find cheese in any real Southeast Asian or Chinese dish .

There are a lot of Thai places in NYC; but V{IV} is the best. Northern Thai food dishes differentiates then from other Thai places in the city . Never had a bad meal here.

Waitress was VERY outgoing and friendly , when she wasn't hanging out with her friends at the table next to us. Great deco, & drinks-good! I do feel it to be very 'cliquey'… (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Like this place. Modern look and similar feel to other trendy 9th Ave spots. Food is ok, servers are handsome. Papaya salad is fresh and tangy , but fried tofu was dry, green curry not spicy enough.

Jerrod

Try the Beef Short Rib appetizer . Probably one of our favorite dishes in the city . Be sure not to miss the flavorful sauce at the bottom of the dish. Divine!

Adriana English

Must try the mataba . It’s a pan fried roti (not too far off from Caribbean roti ) with a rich curry sauce . Delicious.

Scott Kleinberg

Everything! Cocktails , spring rolls , atmosphere— truly everything.

Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.net

Try the Massaman Curry With Avocado - w chicken (v traditional beef ), topped w peanuts + perfectly crisp fried shallots ; slightly extra spicy to cut richness #IndoThai

John Duarte

Good Thai food , worth trying.

L. T.

Friendly staff and good food. A bit too night-clubby for me, though.

Jen Sanchez

Try the mataba appetizer , delicious coconut curry with chicken and potatoes with a slight kick.

Tom Verni

Everything is good! Great vibe!

Sara T

Amazing Thai food . Reasonable good wine . Best of all - blacklight wallpaper in the bathroom .

John Thrasher

You'll get some funky smells in this place but the atmosphere and great service is well worth it.

Urn Lahzer

They have the same lunch special as Room Service (app and entree for under $7) but it goes until 4 and they have an A rating.

Tee Allen

Food was ok, the service was horrible the staff took their time at least half an hour to bring me my bill and I was in a rush make me late to pick up my son from school I was not happy poor service
