Thai 72 Menu

Thai 72 is an Upper West Side Thai restaurant offering a broad mix of familiar classics and more distinctive house specialties. The menu moves from spring rolls, dumplings, satay, soups, and salads to curries, stir-fries, fried rice, noodles, seafood, and vegan dishes, complemented by Thai iced tea, iced coffee, and other non-alcoholic refreshments.

Popular choices include Old Fashion Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Green Curry, Chicken Satay, and Crispy Spring Rolls. Mainstay noodles and curries generally begin around $17-$18, while weekday-style lunch specials around $12.95 offer especially approachable value; premium seafood and meat signatures cost more. Fresh vegetables, aromatic basil, chilies, coconut milk, tamarind, ginger, and Thai seasonings create a satisfying balance of sweet, spicy, savory, and tangy flavors.

Vegetarians have tofu and vegetable choices, while a dedicated 100% vegan selection adds further variety. Gluten-free dishes are clearly identified in parts of the menu, including Pad Thai, though diners with allergies should confirm preparation details. With lunch and dinner service rather than a breakfast focus, Thai 72 works well for casual lunches, relaxed dinners, and group meals where several dishes can be shared.
