    We were searching for a restaurant near a local playhouse and chose Spice as it was a few blocks away and we like Thai food. We were very pleased with our choice. Our appetizers were good and fresh. The apps and a mango cocktail were great starters for our dinners. I love duck but very seldom find it on a menu. I ordered it here and it was delish--crisp and juicy. Our other choices featuring shrimp and chicken were equally delicious and the portions were generous and came with rice--either white or brown--your choice. We liked the decor-- lighting was low, seating comfortable and not crowded, modern, pretty color scheme. Our waitperson was friendly and courteous. There is a nice ambiance here and you don't feel rushed, Service is unhurried so leave a little extra time. The food's worth it.

    Spice has a great variety of curries, rice and noodle dishes. The veggies are fresh and the portions are huge. Definitely a good place to share dishes. The prices are very reasonable, too.

    Your typical spice experience- you will get great thai food for a decent price & fairly quick service. Drinks are well made. Ambiance is cozy, with modern tho minimal decor. You can never go wrong with any spice location. I have dined here at least twice before, and would return. I have been to the UES location hundreds of times for both take out & dine in, and would continue to do so.

    Went with a friend. Dark and hard to see the menu, but besides that, a predictable Thai food experience. Service was extremely attentive, filling up water, even took back a too spicy dish to make it more mild. Tasty food.

    This is my go-to spot when I'm not up for cooking. Great thai food, lovely atmosphere, nice eclectic mix of patron. The food never disappoint. Prices are great and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive my evening has been. Long live the Three Flavor Salmon dish! I recommend this spot. It's a neighborhood gem.

    Spice has a nice ambiance and the hostess greeted my boyfriend and I right away and seated us. We ordered the martini shrimp and ribs for appetizers. Ribs were better than expected and shrimp was average. For my main course I ordered Pad Thai with chicken which was excellent if you prefer Pad Thai with a sweet peanut sauce. And my Thai ice tea with milk was good. I did have to ask the waiter for another drink since she didn't check on us. But food and drinks were brought to us quickly. Overall a nice place and I'd go back.
