I wanted Thai and this came up in the East village near our activity that day. This is really a to go place with only 2 seats at a little counter. However it's quite festive in there. Food was awesome. $50 for two included soup entree and a drink. You can also go to a park and eat nearby if the counter is taken. I highly recommend the food. If you are in the area and want Thai to go, check this place out.

There are things you generally take for granted in your day to day life that you simply don't appreciate, but without life experience, how could you? I'd argue that your local takeout spot is at the top of this list. You move away and miss it more than you could have ever imagined. You try to find a substitute, but they just don't make your go-to dish QUITE the same. Something's missing, something's off.......... Well, I'm sure you can see where this is going, but Terra Thai is my local takeout spot. My life raft. My lighthouse in a storm.This large Basil Chicken Plate medium spice is essentially keeping me alive at this point, as I have it AT LEAST two times a week. It is a MOUND of carefully seasoned flavorful chicken, a side of white rice, an egg, and broccoli. There is no beating it. It is the equivalent to a home cooked meal and is the perfect post workout meal. It is the sole reason that Terra Thai is my starting PG on my All-NBA Lower East Side restaurants.We are at the point now when I call in to place my order, Aung, the owner, answers with a "Hi Johnny!!" and it brings a smile to my face every time. I go in and we chop it up, she asks how work is, how my friends are, how life is going, etc. I always give her a hug on the way out...she is essentially my east coast Granny at this point ahaaha.... damn I miss my Granny... Also I've become cool with one of the employees in there, shoutout to my guy Yoshi always showin love!So am I a little biased? Yeah maybe, but you're off your rocker if you think I would come here as often as I do if that large Basil Chicken Plate didn't SMACK like it does. I literally price things in Basil Chicken Plates these days... I'll be out at Flower Shop or Ding-a-Ling and think "Yeah I could buy this drink rn but that's really a full Basil Chicken Plate at Terra Thai..."Sometimes you have to go through deep pain in order to appreciate true greatness. You have to wander and be lost in order to know when you've found something special. You have to lose that Fire Grilled Chicken Salad from Cafe Rio in order to appreciate the large Basil Chicken Plate from Terra Thai.Andy Bernard put it better than I ever could when he said "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ole days before you've actually left them." Well, I know I'm in the good ole days right now and I'm appreciating every last second. I eat every large Basil Chicken Plate like it's my last.THANK YOU TERRA THAI! THANK YOU AUNG, I LOVE YOU!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

The food is SO good. My go to is the drunken noodles with shrimp or the one with curry (I can never remember the name. Ong (I believe is the owner?) is always working the front and extremely sweet. She'll never steer you wrong with recommendations. The place is tiny and only has space for maybe 2-3 people max to eat inside so take out is best. But if you can ever secure a spot inside it's worth it! The plants make it feel so homey.

This is one of my favorite local and affordable Thai take out spots! There's no seating and the waiting area is tiny so I recommend either calling in to order or placing your order online beforehand. They do a great job of notifying you when your order will be ready, so you can time your walk to the restaurant perfectly. My go to is their pad see ew - hearty, savory, and full of flavor. It's my ultimate comfort meal and Terra Thai does it well! Highly recommend giving Terra Thai a try!

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in the LES! It's a small family owned business and the service is always top notch and you are always greeted with a friendly smile. My go to is always the Tom yum which is full of coconut flavor and the drunken noodles that my husband said it's the best he had in the area. I recommend calling in advance to place your order so it's ready for pick up once you arrive!

The best chicken pad thai in east village (at this price). The noodles are elastic, the peanuts are plentiful, the chicken is flavorful and cooked to perfection. Even the bean sprouts and lime taste fresh. Walking into the store and I am immediately greeted with an amazing aroma. The food is piping hot and was ready in under 10 minutes. I ordered 20 minutes before close, I can only imagine how good it is earlier in the day. This is a take out place. There is not much seating (2 stools) and the shop is easy to miss, but the service is fantastic. I believe it was the owner who took my order and prepared it (his face is on the walls). My current favorite place in east village for takeout.

I'm not a huge fan of Thai but this place changed my mind. I crave their food !I got the chicken satay dish , the braised pork and a Thai iced tea. The chicken satay is different from what Is usually served as an appetizer in other Thai restaurants. Terra Thai's is more of a meal as it's chicken sautéed then cooked in peanut sauce. It comes with pickled veggies which cuts out the richness from the peanut sauce. As suggested by them, I had a baguette and I dipped the bread into the peanut sauce bc it's sooo flavorful The braised pork dish is something I never had nor saw on any other Thai menu. It's has more of a home cooked taste which I love. The pork is SUPER tender and the accompanying rice with an egg and mustard greens makes a great home cooked meal. In fact , bc the place is so tiny and literally just a kitchen with a counter for pick up and a register it really does fell like you're visiting a little neighborhood shop in Thailand. You have to have their Thai iced tea. It's refreshing.

Amazing Hole in the wall Thai Food! Great service and very accommodating for its limited seating. Cool stuff on walls, turntable and records. This will definitely be a go-to spot for me. Thankful for Terra Thai and their staff. Feels very welcoming here.

The food was tasty. The place is tiny which was great for me since it just had room for me and my 2 friends. And the tablecloth was so gorgeous I asked them where they got it and they were nice enough to look it up for me.
