“ Great atmosphere and food was great! Wonderful for a quick lunch in the midtown/hudson yards area. Service was excellent ”

“ Ordered two dishes: Pad C-Ew and Green Beef Curry. The Pad C-Ew noodle plate was excellent. Very flavorful with the right noodle texture. Some points were deducted from the Green Beef Curry. The taste of the curry sauce/soup was excellent. However, the beef was a bit chewy and the rice did not taste as fresh as newly cooked rice out of the rice cooker. I was a bit picky on my taste and most customers may not have noticed the slightly staled rice. I was one of the first customers for lunch, so I am not surprised if the rice came from the night before. Overall, the two dishes were pretty good. ”

“ I always order their lunch special pad Thai and it never misses! Deifinitely one of my best tried pad Thai. ”

“ Hell's Kitchen is filled with Thai restaurants, and I confess that in the past I have tried many of them with little success. One day while heading to Port Authority Bus Terminal I was really in the mood for Thai food and I saw Aiyara's high rating on Yelp so I decided to give it a shot. The interior is very nice. Towards the front is a bar and then the seating is to the right and goes deep into the back. Rest rooms are to the left. The decor is fairly modern and it feels comfortable. I have not yet eaten inside the restaurant since my order was to go. My order was ready *fast*, like in less than 15 minutes which surprised me. The staff was also super nice as I waited for the dishes. I had two dishes: Samosas (Fried crispy triangle filled with mixed vegetables) Generally anything fried is bet right out of the kitchen, but I will tell you that even after sitting in a container on a bus for an hour on a bus these samosas were fantastic! They were still mostly crispy and they had a wonderful flavor. Drunken Noodles (Sauteed fresh flat noodle with egg, tomato, onion,chinese brocoli, Thai basil in fresh chili and curry paste sauce. Hot and spicy) I have had many versions of Drunken Noodles from a variety of Thai restaurants in New York City and New Jersey and very few stand up to this one. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the flavors are savory and spicy (in favor of the savory aspect). Adding in chicken or shrimp (I've tried both) does add an extra layer of flavor to the dish with shrimp being a bit more powerful. Either way it's a great dish. I'm looking forward to going back to Aiyara soon, and I think that is one of the highest compliments you can pay any restaurant! ”

“ Food delicious, decor low key for NYC, service a little slow bc they're probably short staffed but appreciate they are kind/helpful.. I noticed table next to me ordered the wrong thing and they took it back no questions asked. They're pretty busy bc people know the food is good here. Lychee martini was good too. Here's what I ordered: Lychee Martini Shrimp pad C ew Mixed veggies I would come back for sure! ”

“ Lovely Thai restaurant in Hell's Kitchen that is surprisingly spacious. There was a simple elegance to the place and the ambiance was comfortable. I had called to make a reservation for my group of 10 and we had our own area in the back. It was difficult for me to decide what to order from their extensive menu. I went from wanting Salmon, to Duck Tamarind, then spotted Deep Fried Tilapia with eggplant, onion and green beans in a basil sauce. I went for the Deep Fried Tilapia, along with a side of sticky rice. My order took the longest to make. While waiting, I got to try the Fried Calamari and Crab Triangles. The Fried Calamari was lightly crunchy and oh so addicting with the sweet and sour sauce. The Crab Triangles were just okay, as they were made with imitation crab meat, cream cheese, and onion. The Deep Fried Tilapia was an impressively plated dish. It was cooked to crispy perfection, and the fish was amazingly tender, flaky, and full of wonderful basil flavor. The veggies were fresh and tasty, but I realized after the fact that it didn't come with any eggplant. Sticky rice was enjoyable as well. Service was great. Our waiter was friendly and patient, making sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. I would definitely return to try the Duck Tamarind and Drunken Noodle. ”

“ This was my first time ordering from Aiyara Thai. I ordered the Rama dish with chicken for pickup. It comes with your choice of protein and a peanut sauce over broccoli (note the online menu says over bok choy but that's wrong). This is one of my favorite Thai dishes when done right. I think went with extra protein to be sure I'd have leftovers. The food was still being prepared when I arrived, so I take a seat at the bar in front. It didn't take long for the food to come out. I didn't realize that the dish also comes with a mini spring roll. That was a nice surprise. I also ordered a side of roti (not pictured). The spring roll was tasty and crunchy, but it had noodles in it which I'm not used to. It came on a little bed of salad with Thai dressing. The roti was nice. I haven't had it on too many occasions so I don't have much to compare to, but i liked it. The chicken portion was what I expected for extra protein. They gave a good amount of broccoli too (without detracting from the chicken amount). I thought the chicken was good and I plan to eat it again for leftovers, but I thought it could've used a little bit more flavor. It tasted better once I added salt, but I think it's probably because they use less oil than other Thai places. Overall, not a deal breaker. I still enjoyed my meal and the price was reasonable. ”

“ Great spot for a quick casual lunch with a friend. Located not too far from Moynihan train hall, friendly staff, and great food. Fair prices too! Worth the try! ”

“ Decent food. The drunken noodles are particularly good, while the green curry could have used more herbs (Thai basil, lime leaf, etc). It's a bit pricey for what it is but a nice place to pop by. Service was decent. ”

“ While the interior design may not impress anybody the food will. I can't speak to all the dishes but the few I've tried make me confident the rest of the menu is well taken care of. The curry is a good consistency (I don't like curry to be very thick, especially not Kao Soi). On the other hand the noodle dishes are well balanced. Having the Pad See Ew was a delight because the noodles were well done (not stiff) and the sauce wasn't too thick. I hate when they smother noodles in sauce and this place doesn't have that problem. Don't worry about the lack of instagram photos, you'll be more than satisfied with the food. ”
