THEP Thai Restaurant.

Worth it, says Antonina. Offering an authentic taste of Thailand in a contemporary way, the UES restaurant has become a local favorite in short amount of time.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

THEP Thai Restaurant is the new kid on the block having only opened its doors in 2019. Offering an authentic taste of Thailand in a contemporary way, the UES restaurant has become a local favorite in short amount of time.

The menu has a diverse range of dishes, from aromatic curries to flavorful stir-fries, each prepared with the utmost precision. Praise for the Upper East Side restaurant comes highly thanks to their commitment to traditional flavors and high-quality ingredients.

Beyond the delicious fare, the friendly staff at THEP Thai creates a welcoming atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience.

Unpopular opinion. I’ll die on this hill, you haven’t really experienced NYC food culture until you’ve tried Boqueria .

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
