Thai Market

At Thai Market on Amsterdam Ave, you'll again have to fight the crowds for a taste of the good stuff, but it's worth it. The lunch special is a particularly good deal, and delivery is also available, but if you opt to eat-in, expect star service and a relaxed vibe. As one of the only Thai restaurants we'd recommend on the Upper West Side, it certainly does its job to scratch the Thai craving itch with dishes from curry puffs, steamed Thai dumplings and gai rad preeg - fried sliced chicken served with crushed hot chilies, garlic, tamarind sauce and bok choy.
