Lovely Day - New York

The food is amazing. I had the shrimp pad Thai and some of the friends had the todo curry, which they said was spicy and delicious. There are plates for sharing or you can get your own dish. We sat upstairs with a group of 7 so it was a bit too cramped, which is why I?m not giving it 5 stars. I?ve heard the downstairs is bigger, but it was booked 2 weeks out when we made our reservation. It?s also a great price. I will go back again for sure, just not with a bigger crowd.

Great food! The curry was delicious. Great price and location as well! The waiter wasn?t so great as the food tho. Kinda cold toward us, but maybe because the place was busy to keep up with. Just would have preferred a warmer service! Absolutely to go!

I went to this restaurant a few times and walked by it almost every day. The food is great!. One day when it was closed I walked by it, and I saw the metal gates covered in graffiti and thought it looked uniquely New York. This location at 196 Elizabeth is great character for the neighborhood. I painted a portrait of this place in my series of 'Disappearing New York ', which you can see on my website, www(dot)kovalfineart(dot)com.

Came on a Sunday afternoon just for takeout. The waiter said it would be about 10 minutes but we didn?t get our food, which was only 2 items, until 50 minutes to almost an hour later. Restaurant was mostly empty with no other orders being placed at the time. Considering the circumstances, an hour is way too long to wait for takeout. On top of that, the Pad Thai was way too sour it was almost inedible. Pad Thai should have sour notes especially with the lime, but overwhelming sour (before even squeezing the lime) shouldn?t be the only thing you can taste. The Chicken Satay was so so. Waiters weren?t completely rude, but they were definitely dismissive and uncaring, seemed like they didn?t want to be there. I get it, servers don?t get tips from takeout, but it wouldn?t kill them to be at least somewhat cordial especially when the place is near empty. And of course they only take cash/amex, but that?s a very small inconvenience compared to the rest of the bad experience.

Good prices and good food, the ginger fried chicken was good, also the curry chicken was really good, the pineapple fried rice was not good, didn?t like it. Good location
