Amster Thai Old - City of New York

Food is average. Thai tea is very good!Service a little less. I wanted to eat at the restaurant. He gave me the food to go, I asked again if I could eat in the restaurant and he said no without words. Started to make sad/ angry faces and left the dining area. I decided to go because is didn’t feel like I could stay. It was an experience I never had before

Cute little restaurant to stop in for a meal but the real value is when you get takeout! The takeout portions are great! Prices here are super reasonable for the area and Manhattan which makes the takeout option even better. I initially got food delivered from here. The pad thai was SO GOOD that i started looking at this place fondly whenever i passed by. Something about the way they made the chicken man. The portion was so big i was able to have it for two meals.Eventually i stopped in to have the pad thai in person. Portion was decent. I finished the order in one sitting. The chicken didnt taste the same this time but it was still good. I also got the taro custard with sticky rice. It was okay. I expected it to be more fluffy/jiggly than it was. Flavor was alright, not super strong on the taro but it was still there. The sticky rice wasn't as sticky as I'm used to. I finished both orders and was so full when i left.Food verdict:5/5 pad thai2/5 taro custard4/5 thai milk teaI ordered a Thai milk tea to go. I had it the next day and it was good, just a little too sweet.Service was great. The man at the front of the restaurant was really nice, smiled at me everytime i looked at him. While i was dining multiple people came in to pick up deliveries. No one else dined in while i was there. The restaurant is small with a few tables but lots of plants around with hand drawn special menus on the wall. It feels clean and cozy. I would come back but will probably do their lunch special for delivery as my next order.

Inflation, my booty! Throughout the pandemic and now throughout the economic panic, they have not raised their prices on anything-not once! Consistantly great tasting fresh food, wonderful portions, and decent prices. Staff is very kind and helpful, explaining and recommending dishes. Try anything duck or pork! Seating is intimate as you are surrounded by plants. Love this hole in the wall place!

Very reliable Thai food everything is excellent!Drunken noodle, papaya salad, wings, Tom kha soup, custard dessert all recomdmede

Ordered a Pad Thai with Chicken for dinner. It was super bad and tasteless. It looks sad. Won't order from this place again.
