Aura Thai Ny - New York

I went there because I love Thai eating and in this restaurant was very close to my hotel. it has also been rated on open table high. the ambiente in this restaurant is not perfect, it is very simple furnished dining room with a small table for two people. I wish they would give more attention to the decoration of this dining room with ethnic motives. I ordered tom kha kokossuppe with huh. the taste was quite authentic, but the chicken was apparently served in the suppe a minute before it, so it did not take up the wonderful taste of the broth. the green curry was also ok, but nothing special. So this restaurant is for those who want to learn about Thai food, but not for those who know and love it. in consideration of the price of $30 for two cures dinner with drink is worth quite good.

Excellent food with just the right blend of pepper spice. I loved it!

The food was very good. However, the wait staff seemed to preoccupied talking among themselves rather than taking care of the customers. Tables were too crowded and made it difficult to get in an out of your table.

The first time I ate here a couple of months ago it was BYOB, but they must have been waiting for their liquor license since it 's not anymore (so I 'm glad I called and asked), but the happy hour drink specials were good at $4 for beers and $6 for wine, and the beer selection was decent for a relatively small one. The food came very quickly and we were all happy with what we got; they must have the sauces ready to go since you choose the dish and also choose the meat. I got the Massaman Curry, and had asked how spicy it was since it had the spicy symbol, and the waitress said not too spicy, and it was great for my moderate-spice tastes. The restaurant is cozy and very cute and has a nice atmosphere. I 'll definitely be happy to go back when I 'm looking for a place for dinner again in the area.

I took my mom here one weekend when she was visiting (it's close to Port Authority). We love thai and have eaten it many times, at MANY different thai restaurants and we agreed this was by far the best we've ever had. It's tiny inside but the size really adds to the ambiance and vibe of the place so if that's not what you're into, know that ahead of time. The service was prompt and staff was nice. We shared the chicken satay to start and it was great. Then I got the beef pad thai and she got the shrimp pad thai- she's really not a steak person but tried mine and said that the steak was such excellent quality and so perfectly cooked that she'd order that instead next time. Whenever she mentions visiting she asks if we can go back. Awesome spot!
