Soothr, properly pronounced “Sood” is the Thai word meaning “Recipe”. This East Village establishment is the vision of close friends who grew up in different regions of Thailand, hoping to share their experiences and recipes with the rest of the world. Raised in distinctive regional cities, each individual brings their own unique relationship with Thai cuisine, with a specific focus on the generational family recipes that have shaped their childhood and time growing up in Thailand. With a specialty in family noodle recipes from throughout Thailand, Soothr offers a culinary experience that is geared towards the comfort and warmth of dining at home. These traditional recipes have brought great comfort and a sense of home for generations, and Soothr at its core is an invitation to sit at the table and enjoy a classic, Thai family meal.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Noodles are the star at this Thai East Village gem that got raves from Eater and the New York Times after it opened in 2020. You'll find them in a host of regional dishes like the spicy ba mii pu (dry crab noodles) and chicken khao soi. Pair them with equally exciting cocktails like the tequila and tamarind syrup-based Pay-Thai in a neon-lit space that'll make you feel you're at one of Bangkok's famed street-food markets.

    We had heard some great things about soothr overall we were slightly disappointed with our experience. The food tasted good but looked better than it tasted. For the most disappointing was the service there were a few servers who were outright rude which really took away from our dining experience. Moving forward I would order the food home versus go in person for this reason.

    Excellent food but service is a bit on the rush side We sat at our table at 8:30pm and we were out by 9:30pm for a group of 5 people. We had cocktails, appetizers and main course all within 1 hour

    Food is good but I think from being seated to receiving the check was about 40 minutes. The food is THROWN at you so quickly - we didn't have enough room on our table due to appetizers not being eaten yet (had them for 5-10 minutes) prior to entrees arriving, so they held our appetizers in the air as they placed down our entrees and we had to air scrape the appetizers onto our plates. Food is good but other really good Thai in nyc (fish cheeks, tha phraya, ayada) without the crazed service.

    This is our second time dining at Soothr. Food is very good, although curries and noodle dishes are way too heavy on meat vs. veggies although the description says they contain both. For example: Our beef green curry with okra and eggplant contained a scant amount of eggplant and no discernible okra. Wait staff is very busy as the place was mobbed even with a 5 pm dinner reservation and were a bit abrupt although polite. With all the hustle and noise, why is it necessary to have loud music in the background. It definitely keeps you from lingering but being able to talk during dinner would be a real bonus.

    The service isn’t great. The only reason I went back was the food. I had a 9:30 reservation and my server took 10 mins to come to our table and take our order. Never came back to check on us and when I finally got her attention, I asked for a Diet Coke she said they are closed and checked her watch. She ended up bringing it but if I’m waiting for service and she didn’t come by it’s not my fault she came after closing to check on our table.

    Horrible service. Rude stewardess. Wasn’t willing to talk about the dishes and was acting irritable when we asked questions about dishes. The food was pretty average.
