I can't decide which is better: the food or the service. That's how excellent both are. Don't miss out on their ice cream medley!

Bubblez Sinclair

The food is great. I had the volcanic chicken and a margarita tequila and it was delicious. The prices were more than affordable and the portions were perfect. Love this place....just wish it was bigg

Jess Leung

My favorite Thai restaurant for its taste & ambiance, but also for its desserts . Get the TriStar: flourless chocolate cake w/ green tea ice cream , fried banana w/ vanilla ice cream , & creme brulee .

Xian Xian

Delicious martini shrimp . Good place to get a solo lunch/dinner or meet up with friends. For those going solo, there's bar seating (full bar ) too. Friendly quick service . Good green curry shrimp too!

Nikhil Abbot

The name of this restaurant is Spice & not Cafe Spice. Please fix the error on Foursquare. The menu is moderately priced & better than most other Thai restaurants . The flavors are authentic . Go for it

Heather Li

The portions are generous and the prices are fantastic, especially the lunch specials ! The shrimp pad Thai and the sea food tom yum were both really good.

Justin Wylie

Great food, better price for the quality. Intimate atmosphere. Love the imported beers . Highly recommended. It is a little small, so a reservation at peak times might help you.

The Corcoran Group

The food is good, the portions are very generous and the price is right. Try the Drunk Man Noodle , The Thai BBQ Chicken or the Thai Spicy Crispy Pork .

Mason McCoy

The cocktails are strong and the Lemongrass Chicken Breast never fails. Somewhat tacky interior and the crowd is heavy. If you don't have a reservation , it's better to try the East Village location.

Tribeca

In honor of the Tribeca Film Festival , try the "SAPPHIRE® East Cocktail ", an exotic variation of the gin & tonic featuring BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® East Gin and fresh cucumber .

Santia Valerio

Drunkman noodles are the best. Love the ambiance however I would appreciate being able to see my food. They needed a real waiting area! All in all it's always a good time here :-)

Brittany Goodwyn

The nabon noodles and pot stickers are great. The atmosphere is also very nice. Great place for lunch . Very reasonably priced.

Kazem Edmond

One of the fastest and highest quality lunch specials in the area. The service is impressive. This place even has a cool waterfall !

Corey Wall

Have gone to Republic in Union Square for Thai many times but after great calamari and shrimp pad thai at about 2/3 of the price, I'll be going back to Spice (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Deven Marte

Maekong Aged pork Chop , so flavorful! Pad thai and spring rolls are also a perfect pair! Decor is enchanting!

New York Habitat

We love the dumplings at this Thai restaurant , and they also have awesome lunch specials . If dumplings aren't your thing get the Drunk Man Noodle . Yum!

Mike Simon

Lunch for 3, only $30 bucks. Good food great portions. Chicken curry , and shimp fritters awesome. Quick, friendly service !

Bella L

Portions were good. I ordered the Bacon Fried Rice ... Got way more bacon than I expected. My friend got the Shrimp fried rice loaded with shrimp as well . They don't skimp on the meals.

Simone Careaga

2 apps will fill you up for cheap ! Get the curry puffs , lettuce duck wraps , calamari , and their bigger dishes are great too

Khalid Elachi

best lunch specials with great portions. spring rolls with the dipping sauce and spicy basil with veggies are staples.

Stephen

Pork chop is amazing. Everything I've had on the menu is really delicious. Great prices with generous portions .

Grishma Patel

Good lunch specials ! This was a quick easy stop and the food was worth the price ????????????????

Keith Kaplan

Can't beat the lunch specials . I got a pot stick appetizer and drunken man noodles for under $10. Not bad at all.

Kelly Maes

Affordable AND tasty authentic Thai (under $10 a plate) in a very cute little spot. The green curry is delish.

Annie T

Shrimp fritters is the best app. Crisy pork belly (yeah it's cripsy, well cooked) with broad black noodles !

Kaitlin

Great portions, quick service . Hawaiian ginger & pineapple is good. Music is basically last year's NOW cd on loop.

Benazir Martinez

Love the food. Drunk noodles are bomb and the lunch special is super cheap .

Frank Rimalovski

Good ultra mod Thai just off Union Sq. very reasonable for lunch with good service . Aged pork chop was pretty tasty. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Sara ????⚔????

The crispy spring rolls are everything. Great lunch special - free appetizer with and entree.

Maria Tobar

The first spice I tried! Love all there food, good service also

Thomas Reintjes

The rooftop is open Friday and Saturday nights only.

Thomas Mo

Eggplant with holy basil and pork belly is the best. After going 25+ times the manager finally remembered my name!

Michael Venzke

Fast service . Food is good, but if something's labeled spicy and your restaurant is called Spice, it should probably at least be a tiny bit spicy .

Jason Kwok

Drunken man is really good. Best dish on the menu. The spare find are a great starter too.

Yvonne C

Ask to sit on the rooftop for a beautiful view

Tolani Olusanya

Great enjoyed the lunch special with free appetizer

Stephanie

So much fun! Great service and energy :) try the black noodles with shrimp

D C????

Drunk man noodles r official!! A MUST!!!! & the beef fried rice ! Drinks aren't all that but very cheap prices for great Thai food :)

Walter Arevalo

Red curry chicken was very good. Highly recommended, but only if you don't mind the spiciness .

dawn.in.newyork

Great lunch special comes with drink and appetizer costs around $10.

Tahini Rahman

Pad Thai and pineapple fried rice are my favs here !

Sari Nicole

Avocado salad is delicious! The noodle dishes are great but there's way too much noodle and not enough veggies .

Erin Pettigrew

If you require a substantial helping of rice to sop up your main course, then consider ordering an extra side of it for $1. The portions are miniscule and cone-shaped otherwise.

M K

Holy Wok Basil for lunch is my go-to. Order ahead for pick-up.

Mao Campo

It's a good place and the food is nice, but the best part of all is that is not expensive

Bram Hubbell

The food is solid, but the location is better! I like the vegan eggplant dish .

Kayiesha Jeans-Cityflexx

Richi Baidwan

Green Curry Rice is to die for. Excellent flavor.
