Solid Thai food. They often (though not always) bring these airy shrimp chips with warm peanut sauce before your meal, which are delicious. I've gotten the spring rolls before too, which were good, but my standby is the chicken pad thai. It's not spicy but it's hot and tasty. They're courteous and keep your water glass filled. I'd skip the dessert.

I don't know what happened in the past few months. Lime Leaf used to be my to-go place for an inexpensive lunch, and for take-out as well, but then... the food quality seems to have taken a nosedive.
Three times in the past two months, their food suddenly had the flavor sucked out of it. The pad thai was missing some of the fish sauce and soy flavor; the pineapple fried rice was over-oily and again missing flavor. I am heartbroken, and on the hunt for a new thai place :(
Footnote: the shrimp-flavored chips that everyone (including me) loves are actually available in most large Asian grocery stores in Chinatown, unfried (in tiny shiny discs that can be microwaved) or sometimes already-fried in parchment-paper bags.1 Previous Review: Show all »

i came here with a friend and the ambiance was nice.
I loved the peanut sauce they provided with the shrimp chips gratis.
We both ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. It was a bit pricey for Pad Thai. And i think generally speaking, Pad Thai with chicken just doesn't taste as good as if it was with tofu or shrimp. The Pad Thai was delicious nonetheless.
The service was good and although this won't be my first go-to place, I'm sure we'll return some time. -

This is a solid Thai place and I was a regular when I lived there. Not one I would go out of my way for, but definitely a good one if you are in walking distance.

I am terribly disappointed by Lime Leaf. I ordered on two separate occassions; the first time I got the classic pad thai which turned out to be very oily and flavorless. The second time I ordered pad see ew and that also turned out to be incredibly oily and flavorless. It came with tom yum gai and it was sickingly sweet, I couldn't even drink 1/4 of it, it made me feel sick the entire day. It's 6 hours later and my burps still smell like crappy tom yum gai! (sorry TMI).
The prices are OK and the portions are generous but the food is just awful along with slow and impersonal service. No wonder this restaurant is always empty. It's to bad my lunch break is short, I would make the extra effort to go up to other places. -

I ordered the chicken red curry lunch special. It was mediocre to say the least. My order came with tofu instead of chicken ( i even looked back at my order confimation thru seamless web- and it said chicken). It took them an hour and 15 minutes to deliver (promised time was 30-45 minutes). My order came with no utensils (how am i supposed to eat my food??).
I eat a lot of thai food- their curry has too much of a chicken noodle soup essence to it.
The only good thing is their thai iced tea. i give that a much higher rating. But unfortunately will not be ordering from there agin. -

Lime Leaf may be staple of the Upper West Side, but I felt that it was just another Thai restaurant of the hundreds that have taken over this city. It's like a Thai cuisine domination that we are being forced to now but not necessarily good or excellent.
This particular restaurant has the feel of a neighborhood joint and that's probably what I liked the best, I sat by the bar and was able to enjoy a glass of wine while coming down from a long day of work. The pad grow pow was some what decent and size wise it was plenty.
The room is not much to look at except for some pieces of clothing hanging from the wall, the service was friendly and fast which is a plus point. -

The food tastes delicious, and the presentation is super cute. The lunchtime atmosphere is kind of quiet, but it seems like a nice place to go with others or alone. I would definitely go again (or get some food delivered).

The food here just isn't good, whether judged as "Thai" or "Continental." I've tried about twelve dishes total, over the course of a few visits, and unfortunately everything has consistently been completely disappointing, oftentimes even highly regrettable.
One in particular, Grilled Red Snapper with Roasted Vegetable Ragout, must have been prepared by someone hellbent on the annihilation of food and culture and society, there's just no reason why it should have been so nightmarishly nasty.Listed in: My Upper West

Wonderful service, delicious food, beautiful interior.. all the basics are covered. Lime Leaf is a 15 minute walk from where I work in Lincoln Center and around noon time, expect no wait. Its tranquil, with moderately paced contemporary music playing overhead and at the bar is a flat screen TV if you're looking to catch the news or a game (it varies what channel the have on). The menu selection covers meat, seafood, and vegetarian, and the presentation of your meal is always sublime. The pricing is pretty decent around lunch, like $6.95 for a plate of Pad Thai.. and an extra buck or two for tofu/vegetable, chicken, or shrimp. I tried a wonderful appetizer today: Spicy Fish Cake with sweet chili. It had crushed peanut, diced cucumber, and chopped onion, drizzled in sweet chili sauce to the side of three peppermint patty sized fish cakes. Deeelicious, but its small, so maybe good for one person. Seating in Lime Leaf can accommodate parties of two or four towards the front but there is a larger area in the back for groups. Overall: Clean, Friendly, Delicious, Great Price. Definitely check it out!

My go-to take-out place on the upper west for Chicken Basil, either for lunch or dinner. Great prices and this dish is spicy and fresh, with tons of basil and peppers. Lunch specials are like $7.

I went here with a friend after purchasing a Groupon. I LOVE Thai food and we were famished so our hopes were high.
I must say the food was great. The server made excellent recommendations and we split a bottle of wine; it was great.
I would give them 4 stars except for my first impression: we were seated immediately and then after 10 minutes of nothing (no water, no drink orders) I walked up to the bar and asked the server who was standing there if we were going to be helped. She immediately came over to our table and took great care of us, but it was quite annoying to have to ask for service! They more than made up for it, though, so I'll likely be back. -

Thank you, http://restaurant.com and yelp, for affording me the opportunity to discover and sample venues I may have neither found nor tried otherwise. I spent maybe $2 for a $25 gift certificate. BALLER!
Since not all Asians are alike, I cannot confidently comment on the authenticity of this restaurant. I can, however, describe my experience.
As soon as my date and I walked in, we were greeted by a jazz trio. What instruments were they playing? Again, not all Asians are alike... therefore I do not know the names of their instruments. They weren't the classic jazz ones, but they were easy on the ears and enjoyable.
The ambiance and decor make the place a romantic spot.
As for the menu, items are in the $$ range, and vegetarians will be happy to hear that the menu is vegetarian friendly. Aside from tofu, veggies may also opt for mock duck in their dishes. Carnivores like myself will easily discern the mock duck from real duck, but the taste is still delicious.
Quality over quantity. Bang for the buck is pretty low. To maximize the bang for the buck, I would opt for noodle dishes, particularly the pad see ew, and steer away from the curries. I also had their duck, which was a tad dry, but tasty... still low bang for the buck, however.
+1 ambiance
+1 vegetarian friendly
-1 bang for the buck
+1 presentation
Glad I came. I will recommend this place to friends for dinner, but only with a http://restaurant.com gift certificate. Unless you got cash to burn, this place might not be worth full price. -

What a mistake! I always thought Thai restaurants are always the safe defaults whenever you can't find a restaurant in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
Every dish I sampled was either old with that microwave-taste to it, or lacked the true flavor. We all got the basic Thai americanized staples, but it was all a mess. How can you go wrong with pad see ew, grilled chicken, and massaman curry?? Well apparently they did! -

My boo and I went to this restaurant after getting the http://restaurant.com coupons. The fact that you can't use the coupon on the weekend really makes it difficult for anyone to use it. After many unsuccessful weekends, we finally got the chance to go here on a weeknight.
Here goes the review:
It's all about the little attention to details that set you apart. When things go right, people don't notice, but when they're wrong people definitely will know.
I'd like to put a disclaimer that I've been watching a little too much Gordon Ramsey, and Kitchen Nightmares, but I'm starting to notice more stuff when dining out.
First off, we received cracked and chipped glasses at the base. Someone can cut themselves with these, and the glasses are still drinkable. My end of the table had a dirty table cloth at the bottom. yes they have paper to cover the table, but it still had some dirty stains on it.
Their wooden wicker steamer holder for sticky rice left shards of wood in my stick rice. the plastic bag looks tacky too. It reminded me of a trash bag in a trash can. A plain bowl would have been nicer. You could easily see that the lid has a bunch of rice stuck in the lid, and the lid's wooden splinter pieces were stuck in my rice.
Half bbq chicken didn't taste that great and didn't seem fresh. It was a bit pricey at 15 bucks, but they justify it with giving you papaya salad, and sticky rice.
The service was slow even though the place was empty.
The live music is okay, but I didn't really notice it, and I don't think it's necessary.
There are far more, and better options in the Hell's Kitchen and Midtown West area where we live. -

Food aside, this place has abysmal customer service.
We ordered from here yesterday via SeamlessWeb and accidentally mistyped the address to an apartment next door. After about an hour we realized the mistake and called to notify them, only to be informed that the food was already delivered. Now, our bad for giving the wrong address, but technically businesses are supposed to check ID and verify the delivery was to the right person. This did not happen.
OK, understandable -- who always checks ID on deliveries anyway? So I expected they'd smooth it over with a refund or replace the food. Instead they gave us an incredible attitude, and essentially told us "too bad" and to contact SeamlessWeb if we didn't like it. Usually I am very tolerant of rudeness from restaurant employees but this was beyond even my threshold. They did not care, were not receptive to our complaint, and all in all showed no regard for our business. The negative attitude and impassivity they showed was stunning coming from any place who presumably cares about their customers or their reputation.
Avoid this place at all costs. There are so many (better) Thai options in the area anyway, why go to a place that treats its customers like garbage? -

I've gone twice, and both times they have had a jazz band playing. One of the better thai places in the city because they have mock dock as a veggie option. Their massaman curry is too sweet, and I am still waiting to try their drunken noodles. Not the best, but definitely better than other thai options because of the restaurant's atmosphere.

I've been here on numerous occasions, and it's a good, consistent, well-priced eat. I never leave thinking "Oh my god, I can't wait until I come back!" or "Wow, that was incredible!" - but it's flavorful, good portions, great prices at a cozy nice place, and it's consistent. Fried rice was very tasty, curries are good, and I've liked both sautees and noodle dishes. I'm not sure how I feel about the live bands they have playing sometimes - but I think that's a completely personal opinion whether or not you prefer to dine with music.
Overall, very solid. It's not one of my absolute favorites but I definitely don't mind spending my money here.Listed in: mai Thais

I've only every ordered in from here, so my review is only based on their delivery service.
This place is solid Thai take out. Nothing fancy or exceptional, but definitely tasty. My favorites are the larb gai salad and the massaman curry. The amount of spice in the food is sometimes inconsistent, but the delivery is pretty quick and the prices are decent. They're definitely on my short list for nights when I just don't feel like cooking. -

Review from Jeff S.

Very average experience. We got the Pad Gra Prow and the spicy basil noodles, along with the Tom Jerd soup.
Delivery was fast. We ordered via Seamless Web and they called for a time of 30-45 minutes but arrived in about 20. That was quite cool.
We were pretty hungry to we dug right into the soup. Unfortunately, it was uber salty and pretty much inedible. So 1/4 of the way through we put it aside and moved onto our entrees.
The Pad Gra Prow was nice and spicy, though on the downside it was quite oily. As a whole, the taste was quite good and we enjoyed it. The spicy basil noodles were a major let down. It was dry and lacked both spiciness and basil. It was basically red tinted noodles with the occasional pepper in it. I didn't really get what they were going for with that. I actually overcame their shortcomings by adding some of the Pad Gra Prow sauce to it, and it was a bit better, but still a disappointment.
We knew that the Lime Leaf had 3 Yelp stars so we suspected it would be hit or miss when we ordered. Basically, they got our business because we were craving Thai and there were 2 Thai places open on the UWS. I wouldn't make it a point to order from them again. -
Review from Jess L.

My party of four was instantly seated on a Saturday night around 7:30pm, which I thought was a good sign. But then we were seated right by the kitchen, which wasn't as busy as some other kitchens but still not the most appealing place to sit aesthetically.
The menu contains pretty normal Thai dishes. Presentation was adequate, with large side-sweeping bowls and bare lettuce garnishes.
I would not recommend the Thai dumplings; their flavor was minimal. Similarly, the spring rolls were mostly tasty because of the orange sauce that comes with it.
The pad thai, Masaman curry, and pad khing were all fairly flavorful and a decent portion for $11/each. My sautee with basil (I forget its name, but the first one in the sautee section) was a lot of onions and peppers, which I didn't eat, but I appreciated the amount of mock duck that came with it.
Really, "a-ok" is the best way to describe my experience here. This place should get an extra star alone for being one of the few Thai places in this area. -
Review from Big Easy K.
New York, NY
10/27/2009
I agree with the fellow indicating this is dependable, neighborhood Thai. I will continue to eat here, but I wouldn't come across town for it. I'd say the Tom Yum soup is fairly good. The spicy noodles ("drunken" I believe) are pretty good. The other noodle dishes (pad see ew and pad thai) are good too. The curries are fine. I like the duck dish with the baby bok choy.
I agree regarding the speed of the food (sometimes very quick) and beverages (possibly slow) - one time the food even came before my drink showed up (outrageous, but the owner was there and bought us one -- he seemed like a nice guy).
One little service issue is that the wait staff comes over fairly quickly and asks for your food order -- which is not awful, but how about my drink order first? I've tried to break them of this by not picking up the menu.
Lastly, I agree with Rachel G. regarding sort of the awkwardness with the bands. Often they are just fine, but, as most people aren't really there for the music per se, they may go unrecognized by the patrons. I feel the band thing is still a plus and the effort is well intended. Make certain to look for instruments on your way in - if you don't want to be close, ask for a seat in the back (where you won't need to smile, as they can't see you). -

I just finished my leftover Pad See Ew, and it was still tasty as can be.
Dinner came out lightning fast--about 90 seconds after the starter of super-greasy shrimp chips and peanut sauce (which strikes me as a misconceived combination).
Service was cheerful, and the busser kept us extremely well hydrated. With warm weather approaching, quick water refills are appreciated!
This isn't a place to impress guests, but it does just fine for a low-key weekday dinner. -

Review from Veena V.

I just went to Lime Leaf with my sister for an early dinner, I'd been here almost two years before that and remember the food being okay. I decided to venture away from my standard choices at thai restaurants which are basil tofu and pad thai, and instead chose the yellow curry noodles with tofu and vegetables and a mango juice. My sister got the "jungle curry."
Albeit its sugary goodness, my mango juice was definitely the Maza brand in a bottle. Not a big deal, but not the healthiest option.
While we waited, the waitress brought those yummy crunchy rice snacks that were accompanied by peanut sauce.
Finally our dinner came. Mine was presented beautifully with bean sprouts and eggs as a garnish and had a pleasant (but thankfully not overwhelming) aroma of yellow curry. Sadly, the smell misled me. There were tons of veggies, tofu and even bits of bean curd, but overall, I could not taste anything. The vegetables were sort of watery, the bean curd and tofu had not absorbed any of the flavor and the dish in general was not spicy enough (ie. hot) and could have used a dash of salt to bring out the flavor of the curry. Finally, the vermicelli noodles (really thin ones) were also, sort of soft bc of all the water in the bowl, but hadn't absorbed any flavor either...
(I'm not so big on salt, but I still think you need some to bring out the flavor of different spices.)
My sister's jungle curry, was in a clear soup with just tofu and vegetables. It was extremely spicy, and the accompanying brown rice was definitely helpful in taming the strength of the chillies. It was nothing spectacular.
I tried both, and frankly, I would rather head to a Thai place that focuses more on the quality of the flavor versus the quantity of the food, which was in plenty. ... 2.5 really (but yelp won't let me give half stars)
(I should note that both the staff and management at Lime Leaf are very nice.) -

I work in the neighbourhood and have never eaten there before today. They have a lunch special everyday where you can grab a meal for under 10 bucks (my kinda thing). The lunch crowd was almost non-existent so I was happy, I ordered green curry shrimp and veggies with jasmine rice, didnt order a drink(water is my staple) and the food was very tasty , I love Thai food so this was right up my alley. The best part was, I only paid $8.50. Definitely a regular spot from now on.

I rarely travel above 52nd street (Damn You Upper Siders, Damn You!!!!) - but had a buddy in town doing a comedy gig and we one offed into this place as we froze our tail feathers off. Cool little Thai joint on 72nd that weirdly has a sort of Mediterranean ambiance to it. Also I think my waitress was from Russia or somewhere in the Ukraine - With so many variables I simply figured someone had drugged me on the subway.
Basil Noodles were tasty and Basily - and I wouldn't toss the spring rolls out of bed if they were beckoning me. They also had alcohol, which any Irishmen will tell you makes a place 5 stars. I've had cheaper, tastier Thai on the downward spiral streets below 72nd - but I wouldn't stop to not consider going back to this place if forced to travel up here again. -

Really not worth your while to go to this place, especially considering other local options available.
Service: The people were nice and polite enough (when they actually came around, which isn't often) but completely rude if there was a mistake with the order! Basically you have to hope no mistakes are made, or else, you the customer will have to live and pay for their mistakes!
Food: Mediocre at best...
May have gone back due to it's location in the neighborhood, but due to the service and attitude to mistakes in orders, we will never be wasting our time at this place again! -

My roommate and I were up on the Upper West Side and in the mood for Thai. We found this place via google maps and thought their prices were reasonable, so we checked it out.
I am not too impressed by this little establishment.
The food was mediocre and the service was TERRIBLE. But the decor of the restaurant was pretty nice...That, and they had a live band were the only upsides to our meal.
It took 5 minutes for someone to notice us in the restaurant (which was not that crowded) and finally seat us. Once we were seated, we didn't see our waitress for almost 10 minutes. Then we ordered, another couple sat down next to us and ordered a few minutes later.
Low and behold, 15+ minutes later, their food comes right out of the kitchen...and we ordered less complicated food than them.
We kept trying to get our waitress' attention, who was just standing around...and FINALLY our food was brought out by some random guy after 25 minutes.
My roommate said his meal was pretty good...but my Pad Thai was VERY average.
It took her forever to get our check to us, and I still can't believe we tipped her as well as we did.
I won't be coming back anytime soon. -

Good, reliable neighborhood Thai food with consistently fast delivery. It doesn't feel like a destination the way Land does, but it's always good, and unlike Land, there's never a wait for seating. They're not even trying to make the atmosphere anything special - just good food when you don't have that much time to waste. I've tried lots of things on the menu and nothing has disappointed (although I wish they would make their Basil noodles with wide noodles!!!) Additional pluses: they offer non-Thai entrees for the picky eaters among the group, a choice of tofu and mock duck for the vegetarians, and will make their fried rices with brown rice for the (sort of) health conscious.

This is a nice little gem in the upper west side. My friends and I came here just in time for their lunch special. I like how their lunch special is available on the weekend and it lasts until 4pm.
The place is small but don't let it fool you. It packs a punch of flavor. The prices are reasonable too, especially for the lunch specials.
I ordered the sauteed chicken basil chef's special box. They indicated it that it comes spicy, but they were accommodating enough to make it even spicier per my request. The box came with jasmine rice, a salad with some peanut dressing, and veggie spring roll with some sweet chili sauce. The salad was refreshing. The veggies tasted fresh and it came with tomatoes and cucumbers. The peanut dressing wasn't too heavy. The rice was a bit mushy, but it was fine. The spring roll was forgettable. It was cooked nicely, but it didn't have much flavor. It was pretty bland, so the sauce was definitely necessary. The sauteed chicken basil was DEFINITELY spicy. I noticed my friend's dish; he ordered the same thing but without the extra spice. My sauce was definitely redder and you can see more red pepper flakes. It def had a nice heat, but it wasn't too overpowering. It worked well with the white rice. It had a good amount of veggies and chicken. It's def a dish that i'd order again. For $9.50, i wasn't too hungry, but i wasn't too full either. Overall, it was the perfect amount of food. -

I had the chicken curry puffs (delicious but small portions for the price) and Penang curry (great!). Portions are more generous than nearby Thai Market but I guess some of the dishes are a bit more expensive. They have a more extensive menu than Thai Market and I'll definitely be returning to try the tod mun and mango sticky rice dessert. For some reason they don't serve thai tea warm.
Atmosphere was serene. -

I really love this place. It is around the corner, I am always happy with my food and I always have leftovers. Thursday nights entail some great music.
This place is never crowded, and the food is fast and tasty. It is also affordable for a quick meal. I have been happy with all dishes, the green curry is excellent if you like spicy, the pineapple touch was lovely. I brought a friend who usually cannot eat asian food because she is allergic to soy and nuts and she still has not stopped talking about this dish. Go to this place! -

I have ventured here a few times since I know a few people who live nearby. Portions are small and food is not very memorable. To make matters worse...the most recent time I have dined at Lime Leaf a mediocre band was playing at the front of the restaurant, only to be ignored by the customers. Made me feel kinda badly for them so I attempted to make them feel appreciated by peering over in the band's direction and smiling every so often. ...Let's just say, don't come here for the ambiance...
Spice is a much more vibrant thai place with very flavorful dishes and generous portions at similar prices. But if you are looking for something nearby, Penang (Malaysian food) knows what's up. -

Its been awhile since I've eaten in the restaurant, but the take out thai is pretty good.
Pad Thai was tasty, but it seems to have a bit more lemongrass in it then the versions I had in Thailand.
Highly recommend the banana spring roll dessert with green tea ice cream. Delivery was fast, but the restaurant did call about 3 times to verify the address. I'll be ordering from there again.
