“ The food taste delicious and fresh. Serving proportion is well worth the price. Try the Pad See Ew, Crispy pork belly with basil, Crab fried rice... and make sure - if you like fish... make sure order Red Snapper with mango salad. The ambiance is definitely very pleasant and service ... if you are greeted by Kyle... you are in good hands. ”
“ We got the Pad Kee Mao and green curry. The curry was so watery though... the taste was there, good but the watery consistency of the curry made it less appetizing as a Thai curry dish. The Pad Kee Mao - Drunken Noodle was very yummy, no complaints here. Customer service was efficient. Go here for the noodle dishes, skip the curry. ”
“ We were walking around Chelsea Market and wanted to eat somewhere where we could sit down and stumbled upon Ayada Thai. The three of us shared calamari, crab fried rice, and beef pad see ew. Everything tasted delicious and we were full! I also got their thai tea which had great flavor. The service was great and servers were very attentive. Highly recommend! ”
“ Authentic Thai place in Chelsea market! It's a long railway type of layout and I love it like in a basement. They are really sweet and serve all nice. You should definitely try the deep fried shrimp and Pineapple fried rice with pork was delicious!! Would love to try other things next time :) ”
“ Amazing Thai food. Crab fried rice Chicken pad thai Crispy duck panyang Drunken noodles Green curry The chicken pad thai was amazing. Out of this world (as a pad thai enjoyer, this one was pretty darn good) The crispy duck was also noteworthy good. The drunken noodles and crab fried rice were fine as were the drinks. The green curry was a little more lack luster compared to the other dishes, which were heavy hitters! ”
“ We were overwhelmed by how busy the food options were in Chelsea market and the lack of seating so Ayada was the perfect location for us. It was a sit down restaurant with its own bathroom without a line in a very spacious area. We split the chives pancakes. The taste was good but it was wet. The app came early but our entrees came over 30 min later as the kitchen lost our ticket which was surprising given how not busy they were. So I had to ask where our food was to remind them to check in with the kitchen. The crab fried rice was good and the pad ginger was tasty. So it was a good option in Chelsea Market. But there are so many phenomenal Thai places in the City right now so I don't think I would come here for Thai food unless I happened to be at Chelsea market already when the other options are insanely busy. ”
“ We had been eager to try this Thai restaurant at Chelsea Market for quite some time, and it did not disappoint. Surprisingly spacious, it boasts two entrances, which is perfect if you have a stroller or wheelchair. The extra space and secondary entrance make it very convenient and comfortable. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, contributing to the restaurant's casual and quiet atmosphere. As a huge fan of Thai food, I was impressed with the dishes we ordered. The papaya salad, ordered medium spicy, was quite spicy but delicious. My personal favorite was the fried pork, which was cooked to perfection. ”
“ I am a frequent visitor of Chelsea Market but it is my first time trying Ayada Thai. I sat in the restaurant with my mom although I know they have added more seating a few steps away from the actual store front. We ordered the Lychee Pineapple Duck Curry and a Pork Pad See Eiew to share. The food did not disappoint although it is a little bit more on the pricey side for Thai cuisine. All the servers were very nice and the food arrived quickly and promptly. A group of Chinese tourist sat down and had trouble ordering so I jumped in to help. The staff were very nice and patient throughout the process and they were grateful for my help. I love Going to local businesses and I don't mind helping if it helps them make a sale. Definitely check them out if you are in the meatpacking district! ”
“ In the crowded hustle and bustle of Chelsea Market is an oasis of divine harmony. Ayada is that peaceful place. We were glad to have found it. We got there midday and reservations were not needed. I have a note to try Ayada, but the Elmhurst Queens location. I never got there, so we were glad to stumble across this place. I had the Massaman Curry andyou select your protein. Mine was sliced pork. It was fairly mild and very good. I do wish it came with just a bit more rice to sop up the curry sauce. My wife had Penang Curry which was considerably more spicy, and she said it was delicious. Surprising, since she usually does not tolerate spicy foods well. Service wes friendly, quick and efficient. We were greeted with smiles, and that goes a long way towards a very nice dining experience. ”
