The place only has four tables and two tiny corner seats. When I walked in I stood there for ten minutes and no one acknowledged me or the three other people that had come in. Two more people came. Two people left upset that no one helped them. When I went forward for help the waitress wrinkled her nose at me. The young lady looked me up and down frowning at me, then she seated the people that came in after me. Im not sure if that was to punish me for having the audacity to attempt to sign in. I ended up stepping outside and called in my order for pickup. Fifteen minutes later the frowning girl motioned me forward. I went to pay and once more I got the frowny face as if I was too close to her. I apologized and as soon as I paid another waitress made shooing motions to get me back toward the door and away from the credit card machine. I got home and the food was hot and the food was good until I hit something that looked like raw salmon in my fried rice. The egg rolls were awesome! The cashew chicken was awesome! The fried rice was bland and as above freaked me out. Their rice is perfect. Maybe this is just a New York cultural thing. Back home people in the service industry smile and make you feel welcome. I felt awkward and bothersome for wanting a seat. Im not fat but my BMI is 28; I wouldnt have even tried to fit into a table...even if I had been offered one. I would suggest delivery. I spoke to the delivery guys on the way out and they were pretty nice and much more helpful than the waitresses.

Whew! I was about to put this place on BLAST cause at first the service was not the best. They seemed to be rushing and not very attentive to their customers. From their demeanor seeming uncaring, to me having to wait before anyone attended to me to be seated, to the waitress leaving and cutting me off before I was able to finish my order to the point in which I had to call her back, I was about to put the worst review everrrr! But then the staff got better about halfway thru my meal. They started smiling and were very attentive. Soooo yeah, I dont know what the change was. Maybe they felt I was going to put a bad review. :) But the food here was very good. Nice flavoring to all the dishes. I had the spring roll, marraman chicken curry and Thai iced tea. Yes, very good. But 4 stars due to the worst first impression...

Tung Thong Thai is a welcome addition to the Washington Heights area, an area that just doesn’t have a lot of great dining options. The pad thai, pad see ew, and curries are decent, and the papaya salad is surprisingly fresh and crunchy. Their lunch deals are a steal: $7.25 to $9 (based on your protein choice) for an entree, soup, and spring roll. I believe its the only place like it in the area, so be sure to stop by for lunch when you have a craving for Thai food.

This place is always delivering hot, extremely fresh food! I have tried pad Thai, drunken noodles, spicy basil, spring rolls, and the spicy potatoes. All of the dishes have arrived in a timely manner, clean and fresh. I have also dined in the restaurant and they have quick service. Ive tried other thai food in the area and it doesnt compare.

The food is great. However they are very, very busy. The woman answering the phone behaved as if I was wrong to complain that I was on hold for 10 minutes before anyone took my order. To add insult to injury, I was told the wait time for delivery was 1 hour. If you are starving, then this is not the place to order from.

Awesome, reasonably priced Thai food in Washington Heights! The place, however, is very small, cramped, and doesnt even have room for the people waiting to sit down to stand, so it ends up being very awkward at times as people waiting for tables are standing over you. Avoid at lunch hours where they are the busiest.

NEVER AGAIN Food is relatively decent for washing heights. First delivery was 45 minutes late. Second was twenty five late. And third was 54 late. To make it worse,me hen you call for information on why its late, they hang up you - happened more than once. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Ok Thai food in an area that doesnt have many options. Their pad thai felt a bit stringier than other places, but flavoring is good. The green curry could use more of a punch as it was quite mild. Perhaps the taste has been modified to suit the local demographics.

Yummy, local Washington Heights Thai food, which I have found to be a rarity up in these parts of Manhattan. I usually always get pad thai and spring summer rolls. Wasnt disappointed. The wait staff is super friendly and its a family establishment.

Ordered an order for delivery. Im 7 blocks away on 162 street. An hour after waiting I was told they left already. 20 minutes after that that rude lady who answered told me dont take it if I dont want it and hung up on me. Never again......

Very tasty thai noodles but the service is terrible. My group were seated immediately but had to wait 30 min before we were served. And it took another 15-20 min for the waitress to bring us the bill at the end.

Ordered take out. Waited over 30 minutes. Who has time to wait that long in NY? People sitting down got their food sooner than I did. I used to come here when I had meetings around here. Will not anymore.

It was alright not bad I went there around lunch time and the place was packed with the hospital crowd and the hipster creeps that are taking over the neighborhood. I will order again from there.

The food could have come out more quickly, but the larb gai, tung thong appetizer, drunken noodles (chicken), spicy basil (mixed seafood) and taro cake were all delicious.

Less than a star. Place an order for delivery and they called back 20 minutes later and said they dont deliver to us. 1 mile away.

The food is fantastic, the service is appallingly rude. Do yourself a favor and place an order for delivery instead of coming in.
