Spice Restaurant - New York City

Great experience ordering take out lunch here. Food was prepped on time and the order was accurate. I had the chicken pad Thai with the shrimp fritter appetizer. The pad thai was a bit sweeter than I expected and would have been a bit better if I could adjust the spice level. The shrimp fritter was more like a fried chicken shu mai, I'm not sure if there was any shrimp in it, but it was pretty good with the sweet dipping sauce. A nice place to stop by for lunch!

DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION!! Head over to 13th St instead! It is very clearly understood why the first Avenue branch is always empty, lunch and dinner bowls as well as midday we're by many restaurants are packed even at 3 PM.RE: SO CALLED PROVLAIMED MANAGER JUNIORCE,Remains comfortably seated on cell phone entire time and doesn't even stand up to greet a patron, Even regulars.Ordered shrimp dinner with Thai iced tea and sticky rice. He brought me the iced tea half filled. I asked for no milk in it and he filled it only just a tad above halfway for the first time in over 20 years I've been going to the 13th St. branch and being I moved last year, I've been coming here. No waiter has ever brought me a glass that was not completely filled just because I didn't ask for milk. He refused to fillet even a bit more for me and was going to charge me full price for half glass! I told him to take it back. He Grabbed it.Did not bring me water till I asked for a straw or ice and he knows I'd like my water with ice and a straw because I've been in there many times. And if he doesn't, he doesn't belong in any management position if he doesn't get to learn his customers and therefore provide appropriate and cordial customer care.3 After the chef brought me my food I asked him for a glass of water refilled since the proclaimed manager did not come around. He was still busy and personal cell phone and wanted to sit down all time in the empty restaurant even though we had me as a customer the ONLY customer.I asked a young waitress lady for my check and wrote a note in back of the check addressed to the owner stating why I was not going to tip. She was delightful and said she would be sure the owner gets it. She went towards the register and this self proclaimed manager grabbed it looked at it for just a few seconds and ripped it up. I asked her if she gave it to him and she nervously Told me that she did not give it to him and that he grabbed it from her hands and I saw him do it. I just wanted to be sure and to hear it from her.I called before closing time to ask for the name of the manager and this book claimed the manager said he was the manager! I had a feeling he was going to get on the phone but was hoping not. He told me the owner never ever comes to the restaurant and that it would therefore be impossible for me to speak to the owner to report him. He then hung up on me like a coward After I told him I'm sure the owner comes in regularly to check on his business operation and that He is not speaking to a moron. He replied, I am speaking to a moron and he hung up.. I called back to ask if we were rudely disconnected. He hung up on me again.Stay clear of this horrible dungeon because of this horrible, uneducated, uncultured, unprofessional, lol life of a moron.And he is he is, shame shame shame on the owner! Shame on him or her for keeping somebody like this on staff And rips up complaints about himself so that it doesn't get to you. That is THEFT. . Fire hi.He obviously has a problem with women... He argued with the sweetest elderly lady a few months ago who asked for a different glass because the wine she ordered didn't taste right. He argued with her. She sweetly said maybe it's the glass can you just give me wine and a different glass and he refused. If he's not terminated I will be sure you get more negative reviews and they will hurt your business because of your zero accountability and responsibility for not showing up on the premises.This so called proclaimed manager, Juniorce Is 100% responsible for this negative review based on his attitude, actions, unprofessionalism, and unfitness to be a manager in any company of any industry. What a joke.

Happy they were able to accomodate a vegan food allergy. Ordered (vegan) fried rice with tofu and veggies as well as fresh spring rolls. The rice was a healthy portion size and the spring rolls were amazing. I would definitely come back for these items.If you're a vegetarian that can eat fish sauce, you'll have MANY more options.Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options if you can do fish sauce. If vegan, they can make a veggie tofu fried rice. a couple appetizers that are vegan by default.

Ambience is nice. Staff were niceFood was Delish but rice was low in quantity(for us at least .Cocktail was sugary and didn’t have the mango flavour.We enjoyed the curry (was spicy when we ordered the red one to be none as was told that it was the one with least spice Overall it’s good Thai place. Give it a go! :

We live in the neighborhood and decided to have some lunch here. The food was surprisingly good. The lunches came with an appetizer. We ordered the green curry, sausage fried rice and Pad thai. We also ordered the calamari and chicken saté as extra appetizers. The curry was very good, slightly spicy and creamy. My husband raved about the fried rice and the Pad Thai was one of the most flavorful ones we've had in awhile. The service was attentive and the food was very inexpensive. $65 for the 3 of us. This restaurant goes on our list for neighborhood favorites and we'll be ordering and coming here often.
