Party of six (2 young kids) and they could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The food was outstanding. Every dish was excellent. The pineapple fried rice, the massaman curry, the grilled pork over rice...all wonderful. I wanted to try the mango sticky rice for dessert, but was too full. Next time. I live a few blocks from this place and I cannot believe I have been missing out for so long.

Response from the owner

Absolutely delicious. The food was on point. I do have to give a little warning if you’re in a big group reserve a spot and everybody has to be present before they see you if you are solo, you are going to get lucky to be seated at the bar along the window so you should be fine. I recommend the chive pancakes and the chicken ginger soup! The broth was so delicious and flavorful!

Some of the best thai I've ever had. Went at the recommendation of a coworker and am so glad I did! Got the crispy duck pad which was on the sweeter side of pad thai but great. The crispy duck is so good! The red curry with tofu was the star for me - the tofu texture was amazing and the curry was spicy and thick.<br>The curry puffs were flaky with lots of filling. Thai tea was delicious and strong!<br>My theory is that the tinier the Thai place the better it is!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much, Sery, for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our crispy duck pad and found the red curry with tofu to be the star of your meal.

I loved that the restaurant had a beautiful vibe as I entered and as a girl who loves to take pictures of everything, I did it! The food servers offered me a seat as soon as I entered and they were very attentive and polite. The food was delicious I had a beef noodle soup with Thai iced tea. I do recommend this place to enjoy some dinner or lunch!

Tried duck over rice, green curry, and basil fried rice.<br><br>The duck over rice was quite good — the duck was tender and flavorful, and it paired well with the rice. Nicely cooked and satisfying.<br><br>The green curry stood out more than the rest. It had good depth, decent spice, and tasted balanced without being overly heavy or sweet. Definitely the best dish among what we ordered.<br><br>The basil fried rice was just okay. Not bad, but nothing memorable — felt a bit mild and lacked that punch you usually expect from Thai basil rice.<br><br>Overall, the food was good but not exceptional. A solid place if you’re craving Thai food, especially for curry or duck dishes, but some items can be hit or miss.<br><br>Verdict:<br>Good flavors, decent execution. Worth a visit.

Response from the owner

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, Manik! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the duck over rice and that the green curry stood out to you. We appreciate your thoughts on the basil fried rice and will pass them along to our team as we always strive to improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for more of our standout dishes! From Zoob Zib Thai family members.

If I could rate this place 10 stars I would! I got the pad drunken noodles (I believe I might be mixing up name) and the spice level was perfect, not too spicy but just right, and the noodles were soft and flavorful but what really sealed the deal for me was the first bite of that tofu marinated in the sauce… gosh, I am so glad my gf chose this place and I will def come by here in the future. It was very welcoming with kind staff & a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for rainy days like yesterday 🙌

Response from the owner

Thank you very much for your kind words, Ms. Jennifer! We're grateful to hear that you enjoyed our Pad Drunken Noodles and the tofu's flavor. It's wonderful to know that the atmosphere and service made your visit memorable and we look forward to welcoming you back again very soon at our Zoob Zib Thai! From Zoob Zib Thai family members.🙏🙏🙏

I had a small tom yum soup, Thai tea, Thai fried rice and fried calamari. I’ve had Thai food at different places and I got to say that the tom yum here is the best I’ve ever tasted! The fried rice was amazing as well. The fried calamari was a bit bland even though the quid wasn’t overcooked and not rubbery and the sauces were good as well. Only issue I had with this place was it was small in size. I’d recommend ordering food here rather than dining.<br><br>Special mention: The service was amazing. Great staff! We wanted to share a cup of tom yum and fried rice, the waiter bought us separate utensils without even us asking!

Response from the owner

Thank you for sharing your thorough review Mr. Yeshwin! We're grateful to hear that you enjoyed our Tom Yum and fried rice, and it's great to know our staff made your experience even better. We appreciate your feedback on the calamari and size of our space, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue improving. We look forward to serving you again at Zoob Zib Thai Authentic Noodle Bar! From Zoob Zib family members.

Zoob Zib is such a solid spot in the middle of Midtown and perfect for a quick and tasty bite. I went on a weekday and loved that there was no wait at all. The menu has great options and everything came out pretty fast, plus they make really good cocktails which was a nice surprise 🍹<br><br>I ordered the pad see ew with chicken and it hit the spot. The portion was generous and the flavor was rich and comforting. For appetizers, the meat potstickers were delicious and the chicken skewers were super tender and juicy. We also tried the crab ragoons. I usually love ragoons, but these were a little too fried for me and had more crunch than chew. Still fun to try though.<br><br>Overall, ZooZib is a great find in the heart of Midtown. Easy, flavorful, and perfect when you want something good without waiting forever 🍜✨

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for your detailed review, Marissa! We're delighted to hear you had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our menu. We appreciate your feedback on the crab rangoons and will keep it in mind. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more great bites and cocktails at Zoob Zib Thai Authentic Noodle Bar!

A cozy neighborhood Thai spot with open-air space and friendly service. We tried the papaya salad, Khao Soi, Nam Tok noodle soup, and half roasted duck with Thai cashew nut. The papaya salad had a great balance of spice and funk, the Nam Tok broth was deeply savory, and the Khao Soi was rich though not particularly standout. The roasted duck was the highlight - super crispy, saucy, and brightened by pineapple and cashews.

Response from the owner

Thank you for sharing your dining experience with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the dishes, especially the roasted duck, and appreciated our open-air space and friendly service. We can't wait to welcome you back to try more of our menu! From Zoob Zib Thai family members.

Place is very intimate! It was packed inside, from start to finish the service, the food, the atmosphere was excellent. We had the fresh spring rolls, lemongrass chicken and duck. Everything tasted so fresh, delicious. I would definitely recommend you go and I will be going again.

Was in NY for a event next door to Zoob Zib Thai Authentic Noodle Bar. We had just broken what we could @ the Break Bar next door, so we had worked up an appetite.<br><br>It was Sunday night and packed in Zoob Zib! We had to wait about 10 mins for a table to free up. Because it was so packed, the table seating felt too small and a little too close together.<br><br>Now the food and drinks on the other hand!; We lingered on the menu for a minute. We went ahead and ordered cocktails, appetizers and entrees all at once. It was a little hard to decide there were so many items that caught my eye.<br><br>The lychee cocktail was refreshing. They even customized it for me and let me mix passion fruit & lychee martini. It was delicious!<br><br>We ordered spring rolls and dumplings, crab Rangoon and a good wonton soup with dunplings. And for entrees garlic noodles and noodles with chicken and shrimp, which were flavorful.<br><br>It was a decent spot.

When I visited New York for my Birthday I picked this place to celebrate my birthday dinner. The atmosphere was unique and inviting. I loved the open air concept and the service was great! The food was outstanding. I had the Crab Rangoons and the Chicken Pad Thai. Both dishes were exceptional and the portions were more than enough to satisfy with enough left over to take back to my hotel. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes Thai food.

The location is very close to Vessel , only 10min walk. The price is very reasonable comparing to the Vessel area.<br><br>The food is good I would give 4.5/5. The BBQ pork noodle is not very good, kind of dry. I guess it is a better idea to order “real” Thai food . 😅I made the mistake. The fried ice cream can be better.<br><br>The service is good. The waitress and waiter are very nice and good service.<br><br>I recommend it 👍
