Spice

I totally recommend spice. It is the best thai place in the city. I work in midtown and I trek all the way down to 10th street on my lunch break by subway just to pick up an order of spice for take out. That is how good it is! be sure to try the shrimp fritters! It won't disappoint.

The food and ambiance are excellent. The wait staff is superb while the cuisine is reasonably priced and of the highest quality and asthetic appeal.

I used to live on 10th St. and I started going to Spice when it first opened. I remember the days when I was the only one in the restaurant at certain hours. Now you can hardly get a seat! I guess word got out how good the food is. I can't tell you how many people I've brought here, and they've all loved the food. Recommended: Emerald Vegetable Dumplings, Red/Green Curry Dishes, Basil Chicken.

The food is okay, certainly not amazing, but reasonable for the price. For dessert I'd recommend the chocolate souffle with green tea ice cream. The service is inconsistant at best. The atmosphere is lacking, if you enjoy feeling like you are in a loud crowded NYU cafeteria albeit one with a funky decor then you will like this. For those who prefer to be in a less juvenile environment this will be offputting.

I love this place - I have to visit every time I am in NY. And every time I have gone with NY'ers who haven't been, they have raved about it. My best night was when we started with beers in the bar, ordered wine, and sake, and food, and more wine..... Spice is a small restaurant, so on Fridays and Saturdays, and most other days it gets very crowded so don't go there for a quiet date. Food is good, great value for money, service can be a bit slow (but this may be due to it being so busy) however I have always found the staff to be responsive when asked for more food/drink/whatever - as long as you get their attention.

I don't know why all these people have negative things to say about Spice. I'm a student at NYU and I go to Spice at least twice a week. Not only do I go for the $6 lunch special but at night for a cheap dinner with my friends. Sometimes, at night, when the it is busy, the waiters and busboys are a bit slow but thats understandable. During the day, there are never any problems. I have had almost everything on the menu and would recommend the shrimp fritters, the duck salad or the calamari salad. For the main course, order pad thai shrimp (make sure to say w/o chicken, as the chicken they put in pad thai is sometimes dry), volcanic chicken, massaman curry chicken or the ginger and pineapple chicken. Make sure to order dessert. The choc cake with green tea ice cream is to die for and their apple dessert is delicious as well.

Reasonably priced very good food. Lunch specials are great. Main course and appetizer for $7. Delivery is fast.
