Hidden Gem for Thai Food in NYC – Tam MaiThis restaurant is tucked away up a tiny, unassuming staircase, but the moment you step inside, you’re transported straight to Thailand. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the menu is packed with delicious options. Portions are generous, and the prices are very fair—especially the $15 lunch deal, which is an absolute steal.This has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. It feels like a true neighborhood secret, with hardly any tourists around.My go-to dishes are the green curry and pad see ew, both with tofu. They’re packed with flavor and always satisfying. I highly recommend them!The staff is incredibly kind and attentive (shout out to our server Tom!!), making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for great Thai food in New York, I definitely recommend Tam Mai. - Basha H
