Sushi Serving Thai Restaurant Adds Pho & Bubble Tea

New York Thai Grill and Sushi

Who thought it would be a good idea to add Vietnamese food to a Thai restaurant that already serves sushi.  Seriously?  As much as I like pho (and bubble tea), I don’t think that this is going to be the thing to take New York Thai Grill and Sushi (on 54th btw. 5+6th) over the top. Has anybody discovered a dish they do well?  I can’t imagine there is anything that could get me to try a place that does Thai, sushi, and Vietnamese soups.  What’s that you say?  They offer a $23 all you can eat thai food and sushi dinner… uh, well I suppose I could be persuaded to check it out for dinner.  You know… for research purposes. Anybody been?

New York Thai Grill and Sushi, 37 W 54th St (btw 5+6th Ave), 212-581-8808

  • there is nothing about this that sounds remotely appealing to me. no way does this place have fresh fish AND good pho broth.

  • Pho from a Thai place? I’ll sooner order Pad Thai from a Chinese take-out place…

    Their pad thai is by far the worst pad thai I’ve ever had. It’s sickly sweet, and the noodles are pink.

    The woman who owned this place used to have a second location.

    The only things that I found they did well (different cook, so results may vary):

    – Panang and Green Curry

    – Spicy Basil Fried Rice w/chicken — extra spicy

    – Gai Pad Prik Bai Krapao

    – Po Pia Tod (appetizer) are rather small and thin but crunchy and decent

    I think that they do a lunch menu, but I’ve only eaten the full priced meals – so I cannot comment on lunch portion size, but the dinner portions had plenty of protein.

    Their Pad Thai had a funky color and is just bad.

    Isn’t it part of the point of MidtownLunch that Zach has to try the disgusting pho so that I don’t have to? Missing Zach already…

    I fucking hate Asian fusion restaurants.

  • Cynical Foodie sounds cynical.

    It’s not a fusion restaurant. It’s a restaurant that has Thai items, Japanese items, and Vietnamese items. These are not fused together in any way other than the fact that they’re under the same roof.
