The atmosphere, service, and food were absolutely incredible! Made a reservation for 5:15pm and when I arrived I was kindly greeted and seated. The waiter/waitress were very attentive and polite. The food was presented amazingly and was very delicious. I highly recommend this place for Thai food! Thank you!

Took a visit to this place once just around Christmas time 2024. The food was so amazing we stopped in for happy hour which is from 4 to 7 PM and although they do not serve your typical french fries or sliders, the food they do serve is top tier and worth every dollar. I returned after New Year’s one day after work for happy hour and surprisingly, I get the same bartender, Eduardo⭐️I call him the bartender extraordinaire because the way this man makes drinks is top tier, I started off with a patron called Patron Midnight Spell, oh my goodness this is my fave. I could drink this all day. It’s a must try. Then, I ended up trying a mango melon something it’s some type of green drink (see photo) just have him make it for you, it’s phenomenal! Then I got, I believe they’re called Thai wings. Thai wings will make you speechless. OMG guys, the sauce on these wings is amazing the way they’re cooked to perfection they’re not overcooked. They are just perfectly cooked with a crunch and juicy, like these wings are addictive I was too full to try anything else but I promise you I’ll be back every week trying something new until I’ve mastered that menu and hats off to Eduardo and the cooks🙌🏽👌🏽

Absolutely delightful! Wanted to try the famed September in Bangkok but with a big group staying nearby Omni decided to try this one instead. Wow! Every single dishes tasted on point delicious with ingredients shining just right. For our group of 26 we did not feel gaps in orders and felt well taken care of. Kudos!

love seeing people enjoying southeast asian food because I grew up with it. It’s what my family cooks and it is my comfort food. I enjoyed everything I ate last night at trivia night.

Tom kha gai creamy coconut chicken soup was super rich and flavorful. It had pieces of chicken breast, slices of shiitake mushrooms and grape tomatoes in it. It was great for an extremely cold evening.

Drunken noodles with duck was a group favorite. Flat, wide rice noodles were cooked till soft and chewy. Flavors of Thai basil and a little kick of heat paired well together. The duck could’ve been cooked to a nice medium. It was a bit over done for me but wasn’t dry. The dipping sauce for the duck was very fish sauce forward. I wish the duck was marinated with flavor so you can eat it with the noodles. I felt like I was eating two different dishes but it was really one dish. Highly recommend the noodle dishes here. The pad see ew is another favorite with the same type of flat, wide rice noodles.

Curry chicken was served with white rice. It had a little bit of vegetables on there but if it was cooked with red or green peppers it would’ve given a better presentation to the dish. Still very flavorful.

Laab tofu was served with lettuce, radishes and cucumbers. We usually eat it with rice at home too but you want the fresh produce to balance the savory, sour and umami flavors. I’ve never had it with tofu but my friend is a vegetarian so it was interesting and flavorful. The toasted sticky rice in the laab truly shines through. I would eat it again.

Fried shrimp with tamarind sauce was so delightful. Shrimps were huge, fried to perfection in a light tempura batter and drizzled with tamarind sweet and sour sauce. It’s also served with lettuce, radishes and white rice. I’d order this again.

Thai hot wings had a tasty sticky siracha sauce on it. It was sweet with a tiny kick to it. Chicken wings were delicious.

The rock sausage is served in a cute little basket over a bed of lettuce and sliced radishes. I would eat this with rice at home. The sausage was juicy and sweet. Very tasty.

Pineapple tofu fried rice had a beautiful presentation served in half of a pineapple. It was tasty and very pretty to look at!

Thai iced tea was sweet, creamy and refreshing. Sangria and lychee mojito was very good. The bar area is beautiful. The restaurant was packed. Atmosphere is beautiful.

I wish all the food came out at the same time so our group of 6 could’ve eaten together. Dishes came out one by one and food got cold. Also, the music could be turned down a tad so we could hear one another at the table.

All in all, I recommend this wonderful restaurant and I’d love to return to try different dishes.

Drinks and food.. omg, perfect. Took a star for the laser lights after 10pm. Its kinda blinding and it hits right at your eye especially when you are walking out of the door as its projecting from the direction of the door. I was blinded by the lasers and walked into the glass pane near the door. Hopefully, something can be done about this. Other than that.. the food and drinks are just perfect. Will probably come back again before the DJ and "laser" show .

Nicer atmosphere than most bar/restaurants in the area. Very informal and very nice for young couples. Trip Advisor has it as #26 in their list of best restaurants in New Haven, but is no Olea Café nor Union League Café, top 6 & 5 respectively. The ambiance is very laid back. But they do have waiters and waitresses (they save the place). They have tables outside as well, by the sidewalk. Remember the food is Thai. So it is all very spicy 🌶 hot. And they do classify the food's spiciness, but need to ask your waiter or waitress about their measurements for how hot you want your meal. The menu is very informal and it doesn't have the typical spicy hot pepper 🌶 icons one finds in spicy restaurants to let you know how hot the food is going to be. We spent $90 between 1 drink, 3 beverages, 2 dishes, 1 entrée, and tip for our waiter. They have a bar 🍸 and I think is better to go to have drinks there than eating, not because the food is bad, but because of the accommodations there. Their space available for seat and chairs is not ideal. Since the entire place is more like a wide hallway. The chairs are very uncomfortable and low. And the water served is ice cold tap water (not filtered water). I guess what makes the place successful is the decoration and the waitresses and waiters. They were very nice. Which is why I gave service 4 stars. The men's bathroom is oqnly good for 2 people, since there's only 1 toilet and 1 urinal that's old school going all the way down to the floor.

This is the GEM of downtown New Haven. The food is always delicious, always consistent, and presented beautifully. The staff is so attentive and the atmosphere is amazing, perfect for any occasion, I couldn’t love this place more. 🫶🏽

Great HH specials! Drinks were gorgeous, tasty and brilliant! Snacks were yummy ! Loved the wings , friend onions and tempura beans. Junior was amazing and the other bartenders as well! Michelle has a great vibe! Will def be back

Food was okay no wow factor like the reviews, service terrible they offered No water, waited 20 to 30 minutes for the server to come back. We wanted to order drinks another 20min wait for service. At 1:30pm not a full house very disappointed!

Speedy was amazing, best server around! The service was great, junior made great drinks too! 100% recommend! Coming from NJ!

Let me just say—NOA in New Haven gets it right. From the moment I walked in, the energy was on point. The space is modern, sexy, and vibey, the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned.

I went for Trivia Night with my brother and some friends, and the crowd? Lit. Everyone was engaged, having fun, and bringing the best energy. It was snowing outside and we completely forgot about it by the time we left.

We tried a bunch of meals from their specialty menu, each one packed with bold flavors and unexpected twists, some really spicy! 🥵. And then came the espresso martinis 🍸— the restaurant has about 5 different variations from mint to caramel, there's a espresso martini for everyone!

This is definitely a spot to check out if you're in New Haven! 🔥✨

Great food and ambience.. we came for our anniversary and the food made it special.

Update 1/26/25: After six months, we decided to give NOA another chance, and I was thoroughly impressed. The service, drinks, and food were all exceptional.

Update: The owner reached out to me and offered me a gift card to come back and try his restaurant again. I’ll update this review after.

We've tried dining here several times over the last two years, including three times in the last week. Unfortunately, the service was consistently terrible. The service on the patio was almost non-existent, and the drinks weren't worth it. ⭐️

This place was ok. Food was not authentic Thai but sort of a pub fusion Thai. Better to come for cocktails and appetizers than a meal.
Whoever said this place was amazing must never have been to a restaurant before.

The cocktail was okay

NOA is such a vibe- down to the staff, food,drinks, and music. Always a go to choice especially for their happy hour !

I was visit there first time , was terrible food , and dirty , bathroom too string ,

Very inventive. Great variety and quality. Will be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at **NOA by September** in Bangkok, and it was an unforgettable experience!

**Food:** The menu offers a delightful fusion of traditional Lao and Thai dishes with a modern twist. I tried the **Pad Thai NOA Chicken** and the **Crispy Pork Belly**, both of which were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and each dish had a unique blend of spices that made every bite a delight.

**Service:** The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. The service was prompt, and they ensured that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.

**Ambiance:** The restaurant has a chic and vibrant atmosphere. The decor is modern with a touch of traditional elements, creating a cozy yet stylish setting. The carefully selected soundtrack added to the overall vibe, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening out.

**Highlights:** One standout feature was the craft cocktails. The mixologist at NOA by September is truly talented, and the drinks were both visually stunning and delicious. The **Thai Hot Wings** were another highlight – perfectly spiced and a great appetizer to start the meal.

Overall, NOA by September is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a unique and flavorful dining experience in Bangkok. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

Restaurant was dirty and smelled like an old bar. It seems like a place that was once nice but not maintained. Bathroom was filthy. Shrimp baskets cooked in old oil. I will never go back after this first visit.

Had the yellow curry. It was amazing. I've had Thai food all over the US. This was the best by far!

Amazing food, amazing service, however there is a mysterious inedible piece of matter in the drunken noodles

Delicius foods and beers.

Good place, pretty affordable price. Unfortunately the tom yum fried rice a bit too watery for me but the ginger flank steak was the best!!!!

Stopped in for drinks and some apps. We loved the atmosphere and drinks but the Crab Rangoon and calamari appetizers were even better. We look forward to coming back for dinner soon

A spot was set up for our yelpies event. I def love the lighting and atmosphere.
DJ spinning the beats.
Bartenders were mixing the drinks up to perfection.
They also were bringing around shots.
I definitely loved my blue spicy. Margarita!
I love that a lot of the drinks came in cute styled cups like a bathtub, patron bottles and I also love the Yelp special edition cup
Lanasha our now 1 year under her belt did such a good job with the gift bags for each guest and also the awards were awarded to the right Yelper.

We did have a buffet style food. The only thing I could eat that was gluten free was what I thought was a chicken and rice meal but it turned out to be tofu. 😐😐 The chicken wings were breaded so I couldn't eat them but I was told they're really good. They also had fried calamari and then they also had a pad Thai noodle but it had soy sauce so I couldn't have it.. I felt like there was no complaints of any of the food or drinks. When I did eat was good. The tofu even though I'm not a huge fan of it was cooked good.
Overall a great night with friends and good.

Parking- street parking and garage very close. Paid parking. Unless after 9pm.

Went here for the late Happy Hour. The food was great. And the drinks were great as well. Quality for a for a very reasonable price.

Paco was our server and he did an excellent job! Our drinks and food came out quickly and I can honestly say that this was the best Thai food I’ve ever had!

Delicious, the flavors dance on your palate!! The drunken noodles are the best I’ve ever had, the complexity and depth of the flavors and the spice level all play together perfectly. We could not finish our portions. We accidentally left our card with the waiter he ran around the block to catch up with us to return it, thank you so much Paco for the great service and awesome food!!!!

The white sangria was lovely

Deliciosa comida thai, amé todo las bebidas la comida la.atencion el.lugar

Food was tasty and the environment was also good.

Food and service always fabulous. You can eat and drink great for happy hour for $30.

5+: crab fried rice, gra pow kai dow, fried calamari
4.5: pad see ew
4: drunken noodles
Good service

Yellow curry chicken here is to die for. Very yummy Thai ice tea too!!

Absolutely delightful! Wanted to try the famed September in Bangkok but with a big group staying nearby Omni decided to try this one instead. Wow! Every single dishes tasted on point delicious with ingredients shining just right. For our group of 26 we did not feel gaps in orders and felt well taken care of. Kudos!

Finally a thai restaurant in CT that was great. Loved it. The papaya salad, Calamari, Tom yum soup.. everything was great!

The food here is amazing and the portions are huge. We had the red curry with tofu, white curry with tofu (very watery) and the noodles with mushroom. High quality of the food and savory.

Cocktail and chicken wings were delicious. The drink was a delicious gin and egg white mix and was made perfectly. The wings were large and crispy with good flavor. The drunken noodles with squid was ok but the squid was overcooked and chewy. The rest of the flavors were solid. Happy Hour is the time to go!!!

Drinks and food.. omg, perfect. Took a star for the laser lights after 10pm. Its kinda blinding and it hits right at your eye especially when you are walking out of the door as its projecting from the direction of the door. I was blinded by the lasers and walked into the glass pane near the door. Hopefully, something can be done about this. Other than that.. the food and drinks are just perfect. Will probably come back again before the DJ and "laser" show .

Great atmosphere, Great lunch menu that arrives fast.

This will be our stopover restaurant going upstate. The food is phenomenal and the Indian bartender offered outstanding services! The drinks are strong that night. We will come back here

Great date night spot. The drunken noodles were delicious and my wife liked the Pad Thai.

Awesome food. Generous portions. The downside is it is noisy and hard to hear your companions.

My recent visit to Noa September in Bangkok left me feeling quite disappointed. Despite its reputation for authentic Thai cuisine, my experience fell far short of expectations.

The food was lackluster, with flavors that were muted and uninspiring. The dishes I tried lacked the depth and complexity I've come to expect from Thai cuisine. The service was also slow and inattentive, further detracting from the overall experience.

If you're seeking a truly authentic Thai dining experience in Bangkok, I would recommend exploring other options. While Noa September may have a reputation, it's clear that the quality of the food and service does not live up to the hype.

The food here was amazing we really were blown away by how good it was.

Service was a bit chaotic and seating somewhat uncomfortable despite the cool atmosphere inside there. Couldn’t fault the food though

Love love love. Food is very flavorful. Excellent service. Kelsey is the cherry on top!

Had the Khao Soi without chicken, so good!

Junior was very attentive and the food/drinks were great

Very good flavor, fresh ingredients. The puff is really good. Chicken noodle is really flavorful. Fried rice is very spicy.

Recommend Duck Noodle Soup. They have $1 wings happy hour too.

Great variety of food, tasty specials, and very friendly service.

The BEST Khao Soi I have had in the US. Rich, creamy, spicy, yet so balanced. The Khao Soi was sheer perfection in a bowl. I did mot expect such good Thai food in a small university town but this changed my mind. Highly recommend!

Seen this spot on a walk and decided to stop by for lunch. their calamari and wings OMG…chefs kiss. The wings were so good I ordered another plate. 8/10 I would visit again

I had to come back and edit this review. The owner reach out to us immediately and was so shocked by the treatment we received from his hostess and manager. He sincerely took ownership of what happened and assured us that he didn’t tolerate that type of behavior from any of his employees. The staff there was quite diverse except for the 2 girls who were supposed to be the face of the restaurant. Remember first impressions are lasting. He offered to feed our entire party again for free. Only 4 of us were able to return the following day and the service and the food was perfect. I will patronize them every time I return to New Haven. I encourage everyone to do the same.

The low rating is due to the blatant racism shown by the hostess and manager of the establishment. I placed a reservation 2 weeks prior to our visit via Google and received confirmation for the 13 person group. Part of our group arrived 15 minutes earlier and were separately seated per far apart. Upon our arrival (well within our 15 minute grace period) the hostess was on the phone and never acknowledged us or made eye contact. After 10 minutes I requested the manager. She came to the front of the restaurant and greeted us. I spoke of our reservation and she told me they didn’t accept online reservations. She also said they didn’t accept large parties and was only offering reservations for groups of 4 people max. Mind you the first 8 people in our group were already seated together and there was a 16 person group of East Indians seated and enjoying their meal…. together. They were plenty of empty seats as there were only two other people dining there. This encounter was filled with passive aggressive behavior from the manager stating she would try to seat us close to one another but we had a 1.5 hour time limit. It was explained that their kitchen was small and they could only produce 5 places at a time. I understood that but not the time limit. It seemed like they didn’t want a group of African American professionals who spent ~$400 and tipped them well. They would’ve rather sat there empty, which would’ve been the case had we not patronized their establishment last night. If that restaurant had not been requested by the graduate of the day, I would have walked out of it. At the end of the day the food was delicious (I am craving one of their dishes now) but because of the behaviors I will never darken their doorstep again. The day was supposed to be about my daughter but it was marred by RACISM. Shame on the employees who basically lied, denied and attempted to patronize us by acting like they were doing us a favor by seating us with the rest of our family although we had a reservation. Money will be lost if these practices continue.

Can't speak to the restaurant, just talking about the club portion that goes on Friday/Saturday nights - it suffers from the same disease most of the other new haven clubs suffer from. The music is WAY TOO LOUD. I'm not kidding, all of my friends had hearing damage from this weekend. I think the DJ doesn't step onto the floor and test-drive the volume level. The bartenders couldn't hear me or my friends and I couldn't hear anyone. Rumaj and Vanity do this sometimes too. Too bad! We don't plan to come back without earplugs.

Best Thai restaurant in New Haven, we ordered the yellow curry with chicken and the crispy tiger prawn - both are great, especially the tiger prawn (a must try in my opinion, full of flavor). Will definitely come back to try other dishes!

Great HH specials! Drinks were gorgeous, tasty and brilliant! Snacks were yummy ! Loved the wings , friend onions and tempura beans. Junior was amazing and the other bartenders as well! Michelle has a great vibe! Will def be back

Absolutely the best Thai I've had in CT! I had read the great reviews here and still didn't expect my dinner to be as exceptional as it was.
Me and my sister got tofu larb, Thai wraps with tofu as starters. Where have coconut noodles been all of my life??? Omg the flavor! Paired beautifully with the peanut sauce and perfectly fried, not greasy tofu. Crisp fresh romaine leaves. The larb was also delicious, super flavorful. We ordered it medium heat though I would not have minded it hotter.
I had one of the specials, a grilled salmon with spicy curry egg noodles. It was absolutely delicious as were the leftovers the next day.
My sister got the drunken noodles, a dish I often avoid because it can be too greasy. Not these. My gosh the flavor was delicious and the noodles cooked perfectly Al Dente.
We both also got the cucumber lychee mojito mocktail and they were not too sweet, not too tart.
Service was great, even though it took us a bit long to get our mocktails.
I will be back VERY soon. I would like to sit outside next time; I like how they have set up tables with some plants to separate the tables and sidewalk from the street.

The mango sticky rice dessert was top-notch!

Drunken Noodles with steak. Great place. Food is amazing.

Good 👍🏽

Good food. Came here couple of times for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend Noa noodle (different dish from noa drunken noodle - once ordered drunken noodle instead of noa noodle). in the lunch specials menu. Steak salad is good but a bit overseasoned.

This is such a cute spot! The food was delicious! This is what we got:
Appetizer: shrimp & squid ceviche (this was the best thing we had! So flavorful)
Entree: shrimp & squid drunken noodles + squid gra-pow. Both of these were spicy, tasted fresh, and delectable.
For drinks we ordered the mango lemonade, Thai tea, and guava margarita. The drinks were delicious, except I didn’t taste guava in the “guava margarita”
Would definitely come back and try some other meals. The aesthetic is also cute, it’ll be a nice date spot.

Experience 10/10. Food and drinks so fresh and delicious. Waiters so attentive and friendly as well as bartenders. The environment of the restaurant also made me feel super comfortable. Definitely a restaurant I recommend to everyone!

I visited the establishment recently with a colleague. We placed an order for food and were pleased with the prompt service. The quality of the food was excellent, with well-balanced flavors and appropriate portion sizes. The ambiance of the restaurant contributed to a positive dining experience. The manager personally attended to our table and demonstrated exceptional customer service, ensuring that we felt comfortable and welcome. We intend to return next week to sample their cocktail offerings and explore additional menu options.

Mediocre and confusing is the only way to describe it. Honestly, I feel like this place could be okay, but it's managed by people that don't know how to manage a restaurant.

Ultimately the problem is that, while everything was average, it was also very expensive and not worth the price at all. The food was bland and prepared poorly, but edible. One of us had pork belly with way too much skin, and the vegetables in the curry were completely raw. The tofu was not prepared at all, just purchased from a brand grocery store, cut into large chunks, and placed in a bowl of warm coconut milk without pressing.

The service was very friendly, but a little pesteringand artificial. Several servers would approach us with the same table service questions every five minutes. It was made worse by the fact we were sit by ourselves, and it was not very busy. It did not feel like the servers were confused, they clearly were directed to serve all tables at once, without checking with the rest of the wait staff. The front manager really needs to establish a system for their staff to make service more personable.

The decor is messy and confused. I feel that they really just need to decide if they want to be an authentic Thai restaurant or a chic bar for college students. If you go for the drinks and to take photos with friends I feel like you could have a fun time, but there are too many places nearby that do better for a lower price point.

Maaaan this hurts me to say. My fiancée and I have been scouting this restaurant for quite some time. Every other day we look at the menu to see what we’re going to order when we finally go. We made double date plans with one of my good friends and his wife to go in 2 weeks. So today my fiancée and I found ourselves in New Haven around happy hour. We said let’s go to NOA and do Happy Hour there. See what drinks they have and hopefully can make recommendations to our friends when we go with them. We ordered some drinks and calamari to start. The drinks were really good and then we started to eat the calamari. As we’re chomping away my fiancée goes bae look to your right. When I realized what she was talking about, there were 4 mice walking on the bar like they own the place. Momma mouse and her 3 lil mice. They were about to head our direction and then turn back around. Climb down some wires hanging around and then started scrummaging around some box behind the bar. We completely lost our appetite. I did not want to cause a scene so I discreetly told a waitress and the bartender. The waitress acted like she was shocked and then told the bartender, but the bartender went about his business. Then when he finally came up to us to see if we wanted to order anything else, I told him no, we lost our appetite and don’t even want the drinks and food we already had. I told him you literally have mice right there and he shrugged it off like it’s nothing new. He then gave us our bill, I’m like geez I didn’t cause a scene, I discreetly told you so I won’t effect your business and scared your other customers away, and you couldn’t even accommodate us. You made sure we paid for our items. This freaking sucks because I really wanted the crab fried rice and some other dishes that caught my eye. I guess we have to find a new place to go for that double date.

Besides that, it’s a beautiful and cozy restaurant. The drinks were really tasty until our experience was ruined.

Service was awful. As soon as I walked in the short Asian guy with the man bun greeting people was HELLA rude. Asked for a bigger table because it was our first time there and we knew we wanted to order HELLA different options for food to try since we traveled an hour and he thought mocking how I spoke was appropriate. First interaction with staff was pretty bad.

He ran to the back and told our server that he didn’t like us I assume (of course I said something back to him about what he said) and she decided she was gonna take our order, bring our drinks and never come back to ask if my wife wanted another drink or refill our waters/soda. Still left a 10% tip ON TOP OF THEIR AUTOMATIC 20% TIP THAT I DIDN’T REALIZE WAS ADDED TO MY BILL UNTIL RIGHT NOW 🙄 even though tips are supposed to be for good service. Automatic tips killed the service industry. When you reward a server for not doing their job, there’s no incentive for them to do their job.

The 5 star review was because we ordered over $160+ in food and every single thing we tried was good. Not just regular good- the kind of good that’ll make you want to come back even though the service was absolute trash. Tiger prawns, Thai wraps, crispy pork belly, pad see ew, some sort of steak appetizer, crab fried rice, ONE lychee margarita (we wanted to stay and have more drinks but our server disappeared and no one wanted to help us lol) - every single thing was good.

Shout out to the chef and kitchen staff. Yall really carried this review. Was trying this place because I’m from California and host a lot of visitors so I wanted to see if this was somewhere I could bring friends and family for dinner. That was a bust but I would definitely order this as a catering option because the food was just 😚🤌🏽

Food was great and so was the service. Crab Fried rice and Pad See were our favorite

Two words! GET SOME! whether it is the crispy pork belly or the tiger prawns you will taste heaven for sure!

Got curried duck and I’m not a Thai food fan but the food was delivious

My friends and I did the happy hour here the other day and I can confirm after trying everything on their happy hour menu that your stomach will leave very happy.

I think my absolute most favorite thing were the deep fried string beans. Or maybe it was the chicken wings. We’ll call it a tie I guess, because they were simply amazing and the sauces were just spicy enough to make your lips tingle, but not so spicy that you want to drink milk. The drinks were also out of this world and I want to come back again to try their regular menu items next.

We love this restaurant so much. Food and drinks are always great. If you go, ask for Eduardo for the BEST service!!!

I liked the papaya salad, but the samosas were okay
Drunken noodle was good but the portion was hugee
Mango sticky rice was great

The good stuff first. The food was excellent. It did not disappoint.

The bad: the service was really lacking. It wasn’t busy but our server was nowhere to be seen and nobody on the staff seemed to be interested in being helpful to customers (except for the hostess). The water bottles on the table looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a month and 3 of 6 water cups were dirty. They have blue moon coming out of the Sopporo tab that they insist is sopporo (wasn’t worth arguing so sent it back and didn’t have a beer).

Overall a far cry from the September in Bangkok location, except for the food.

Zoom to Thailand!!! I mean for the food...

So delicious! Highly recommend their papaya salad, crab fried rice, and drunken noodles. The space was a bit cramped as we were seated at a tiny table but other than that, service was quick and attentive!

The food is soooo good... Good service and ambiance... Only problem is if u go on weekends late they have the music blasting by 9pm... But if that doesnt bother u this is the thai spot for u

Food was delicious. Place was sticky dirty Saturday afternoon... flies.

The atmosphere was small but cute. I was there for a large dinner party and because I was a little early for the party the wait staff kept walking by me. I had to ask for service. I ordered a drink that was spicy. I'm use to a lil kick to drinks but this drink burned my mouth really bad as I had no idea it would be that hot. I had to ask for someone else. The used the same glass and made a different drink and it was still hot. Then I ordered my meal and when it came it was cold and not seasoned. I didn't even finish the food.
I was truly disappointed as I looked forward to going here but I would be okay if I never go again

We ordered papaya salad, chicken drunken Noodles and khao soi. Everything was delicious, perfect flavor and spice level. The service was really good and they kept checking if we needed anything. Loved the experience and food. 😻

Very nice place really good service definitely going back

I had a really nice experience at NOA, the service was quick and the servers were personable. The food came out quick and hot. The atmosphere is on the darker side but at night I’m sure this place shines (I went in the day time). Last but not least the food ( I had the duck fried rice and my wife had beef pad Thai) was really good. No complaints!

The food was great and different from September in Bangkok. FYI on weekend nights at a certain point the kitchen stops serving food because it turns into a nightclub, tables are cleared, it gets darker and music gets louder (so you have been forewarned if that’s not your vibe).

When I first arrived I noticed how nice the decor was, it was so inviting and I was excited to eat here. Opening the menu and seeing the prices of some of the dishes, I did not feel too good but once the food came the portions matched the prices. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it.

Service from all the staff was exceptional and I would 100% come back here.

This place has great food. You really can't go wrong with any item on the menu, including the Shrimp Rad Prik, Samosa Puffs, Wings, Calamari, etc. The service is always great along with the overall vibe. The drinks are also delicious, especially the Midnight Spell.

We visited September in Bangkok during monsoonal rain and we absolutely felt like we were in Thailand. We ran across Noa totally by accident and must say it was an incredible feast. The Duck Fried Rice was so flavorful and had two large pieces of roast duck, the Chrispy Pork was the best I've ever had. The beef Pad See Ew was made with steak and oh my goodness, it was delicious. Going back there tomorrow.

Highly recommend this restaurant and bar.

I absolutely adore Junior's drinks (best bartender) at the bar, and Noa's warmth and hospitality always make me feel right at home. It's my favorite spot to go after a long day. Absolutely go there.

Om nom nom it was so good I'm still in a food coma

Amazing lunch today. Food excellent

Amazing food and the best bartenders, Junior and Francisco are amazing guys. Love all drinks they make. They parties are also dope

One bartender in particular caught my attention due to his professionalism and knowledge about drinks. Thank you very much for your service Junior! I will definitely come back because of you

I was at the noa restaurant and was surprised by the place, and by the service from the junior bartender who was super helpful and receptive. In addition to making delicious drinks!

fui muito bem atendido por todos que trabalham no bar e principalmente pelo júnior que foi super atencioso me tratou muito bem.

Restaurante maravilhoso, atendimento impecável, lugar limpo, agradável, sem contar no atendimento do Júnior Souza que é fora do normal, educado, humilde, responsável, atendimento nota 10, os drinks dele é uma loucura, excelentes e sem contar que ele vira um amigo.

Bartender Junior is the best I have ever had, I only go there because of him!

Estive no restaurante com o intuito de achar um lugar aconchegante e com um bom cardápio, no Noa eu encontrei. Agradecer também ao funcionário Júnior Souza que fez questão de nos atender muito bem e sempre com sorriso no rosto.

Super indico.

I went there last week, very lively bar. I had several caipirinhas, the bartender was very attentive with his service

Wonderful place, incredible service, the best drinks and the best bartender! It's really worth knowing!

Incredible atmosphere, very good food and excellent service. Junior, the bartender, in addition to making perfect drinks, was very attentive and helpful. The best party with the best drinks for sure is at Noa!

Very good, the service to the drinks were made in the best way I could have done. The food is something very good. But I come to put a very high point and the exclusive service I received from the bartender Júnior, he gave me all the support and made me comfortable regarding the drink. Thank you for the service and also

I always have the best experience at Noa. The staff is great and friendly, especially the hardworking bartender - I think his name is Junior - that has to deal with all kinds of people and still makes the best drinks with a nice smile on his face. The ambiance is fun and me and my friends are already planning to go back and be served by him!!

I was served by the best bartender that I’ve ever seen in my life. Thank you Junior for your service! Amazing drinks and amazing person. I definitely will recommend for all my friends! Best bar and drinks in New Haven by far!

Ooof the rudest bartender with the biggest ego . I understand you serve younger college kids but no need to take out your frustration on other customers. Having manners as a bartender comes a long way.

How do you expecting people to eat without utensils ?

Authentic Asian, Thai cuisine... Place its nice and clean.. Staff good service mind..thumbs-up

Enjoyed the tom yum soup with chicken and spicy wings.

Been here a few times and every time it takes 20-30 minutes to receive a menu and 20-30 minutes to get the check at the end of the meal; service is just so disorganized. Food is super solid, but pretty pricey. So many other better options in New Haven for the price.

บรรยาดาศดี อาหารอร่อยมากค่ะ แนะนำเลย

Amazing food! Atmosphere reminds me of TAO. The service was excellent.

Had a great time at NOA!!

His knowledge of spirits, flavors, and techniques ensures that every drink is not just a beverage but a memorable journey of taste.

I normally don’t make reviews but I was very disappointed. The environment was so unexpected. It was dark, extremely loud that I got so overstimulated, and cold feeling as we were seated in the middle of a room and when we asked to be at a booth that nobody was at the lady told us it was reserved when it didn’t even have the reserved sign on it like other tables, they just added a chair to a small table for a party of 5. Our waitress was really rude and rushed us and was definitely talking bad about us to other waitresses (very unprofessional). Food was decent but not worth all the money and the service just wasn’t up to par with the amount we paid for it (automatic 20% tip). I personally wouldn’t have even tipped that lady the way she was acting. Also the bartender was drunk and gave us shots on the house that I didn’t drink because I’m underage and when I told him that he said “why not”. Just really unhappy with the service, wish it was better but it’s a no from me I will never go back. I also have a gluten allergy and asked one of the waitresses about it and she just said “it should be fine” so I guess we will find out soon! TERRIBLE!!! Also wanted to mention that they counted our change wrong gave 83 cents and they put 51, can’t even count smh!!!!!

Also, the number they gave below is some random person so 😅 and they were super rude also

THE WORST EXPERIENCE! I had asked the hostess to change spots and when I did she disregarded every question I had to possibly change my party of 5 seats with a quick “no sorry they are reserved” this was not the case as those spots did not have any sign and when random customers walked in they were allowed to sit where they had wanted. I asked for recommendations and my waitress gave me a side eye and had walked away. The service was overall rushed and the drunk bartender had walked over to our table and had proceeded to ask my underage party to drink when this should not be the case. OVERALL VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

My favorite Thai restaurant! Everything about this place is perfect. Food is divine and service is excellent.

This place is AMAZING. Great food, wonderful service and atmosphere

I love Papaya Salad, Squid Paw, Vegie Samosa. Cosy atmosphere and good service during a happy dinner.

Great service ,Drunken noodle is the must!

This restaurant is just one and a half hour from JFK airport. The owner and the chef are Thai so they know what they are cooking. A wide range of Thai food is available to try. Don't miss the papaya salad and the crispy pork belly.

Nice restaurant indeed, looking for Thai food? will not regret if you try here!

We stopped by on a Sunday around 5pm. They were out of two happy hour items and the service was so slow. We had a drink and left to the place next door

This place bottle swaps. I ordered a Hendricks and they poured it from a Hendricks bottle but it was well gin. Not cool!

The manager is one of the rudest people I’ve ever dealt with. We tried talking to her and she kept cutting us off and wouldn’t let us finish our sentences. We were so disgusted we just walked away

The restaurant I will go every week

OMG !!! This place is 10/10 !!!! Food is soo delicious ! Service is amazing. Prices are very reasonable. This one must visit !!!!!

I recently dined at your establishment and felt compelled to share my experience. Unfortunately, it was not up to the standards I expected.
Firstly, there was a significant lapse in customer service as I received an alcoholic drink despite specifically requesting a non-alcoholic one. This oversight was quite disappointing and left me feeling unheard.
Secondly, the food lacked the expected warmth and flavor associated with Thai cuisine. It appeared bland and failed to meet the customary standards I've come to appreciate from similar establishments.
Moreover, the ambiance was less than ideal, particularly in the middle of the day. The interior was excessively dark, creating an atmosphere that was not conducive to an enjoyable dining experience. It had more of a nightclub vibe than a restaurant.
I hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve the overall quality of service and dining at your restaurant.

飯類都超好吃的🤍🤍🤍

We seldom leave a restaurant hungry / half full, but this one made the cut. Maybe because we went with the expectation of September in Bangkok, but the food is nowhere close to the original place. Another downside is none to very few vegetarian dishes.

the restaurant said close at 1am but i called in at around 12am no one pick up the phone and this is the 2nd times happen to me.

Food was phenomenal atmosphere was great. The website description said high chairs were available they were not. If we had not had a stroller with us we would have had to leave

หนูได้มีโอกาสไปทานอาหารที่นี่กับครอบครัวอาหารที่นี่ค่อนข้างเหมือนเมืองไทย รสชาติจัดจ้านตอนแรกก็ตกใจเหมือนทานที่ไทยเลยแต่ก็ดีใจที่มาตั้งไกลแต่ได้ทานอาหารที่เราคุ้นชินกับรสชาติ ขอแนะนำเลยนะคะ มาทานประจำเลยคะ

I usually love NOA, but I was a little disappointed last night when I went and was charged $35 for a drink on the menu that was not good. They need to change their menu and make the pricing CLEAR and READABLE in the DARK.

The drinks need to be a lot bigger and taste a lot better if they’re charging $35 a drink. The food at the restaurant is usually great. I love the crab fried rice and wings are bomb. Drinks are subpar. Disappointed last night bc I was typically a regular customer but not sure I’ll be back after last night. 🙃😫

Went with a group of girlfriends to New Haven stop by at Gmos, pacifico, Rumaj and Noa, we had a great time than even got invited by Noa waitstaff to an after party to a place call temptation at 20 hamden park drive, We were surprised to see a lot of people there. The dj from pacifico was mixing, obviously half of the attendants look underage, massive drugs consumption and to me it seems that this whole after hours party was run by the same owners of Noa that were there as well. By the way they had a $10 cover to get in, even bouncers, beer was $10 and they have a full bar.

NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER!!!
I love love love everything about this place. I am a big fan of their original location September in Bangkok and was excited to try this new spin. The menu is so interesting and they have an incredible world-class chef. I have been to Thailand and literally the food here is better. The calamari is out of this world good with the sweet dipping sauce. The lamb chop special was cooked perfectly and the lychee martinis are on point. They do an amazing job by creating new flavor combinations and adding a modern twist to classic Thai dishes. I love the modern vibe with some more hip hop music and I hear it turns into a club after the kitchen closes on the weekends. I want to try everything on the menu!

Excellent service, vibe and the food is on point!!!

it said open until 1am decide to take a trip dow get there at 11pm after 30 min drive they walk out said '' we close '' just waste my gas and time .

I love Thai food, and so my friends they pick this place where neither of us ever been before, and we loved most of the dishes we picked to share. Yes! They have small dishes like tapas to share, which are not small at all. Drinks were good. I loved the lychee tonic. Food was beautifully presented and very tasty. We rated all the dishes 1-10. I personally loved the calamari, soft, not chewy, and very light dreaded. The crying tiger was highly rated by all. Papaya salad was a bit too spicy for me, although they warned us, and we asked for mild still made my cry. Duck rolls were good, but I didn't taste the duck. Drunken Noodles were good, but something was missing in the flavor, but they were good. My friend said September's the other restaurant made it much better.
Overall, it was great experience not many Thai restaurants in New Haven. I would definitely come back and try other dishes we wanted to try, but we couldn't because of time, and we already have too many on the table.

Long wait and $10 beers is insane

Delicious! Would go back again. My favorite pad see ew I ever had. The blue tea lemonade tasted fresh!

I love coming here they have this lych drink that was amazing. The service was a little slow they were hosting a bday party but they made that a priority before others but when you got served it was amazing and the way they change over at night was everything the music was great the hostess or the owner was very serious but professional where you can see he had a view on how he want everything to play out also it was very clean I loved it

As Thai … This restaurant is confirmed Best 😊☝️.Thai food in town 👌😎.Go for its .

The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was perfect , everybody was so friendly and so polite. we sat outside. they do need to get space heaters because it's getting cold, but the inside is colorful. The rows of seating were enough for everyone and just enjoyed every moment of it.

Wow I'm blown away. The portions were big. Excellent presentation, the food was delicious. The wait staff is superd

So, so yummy! My family enjoyed their meals. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was good and food was ready very quickly.

Service is good

I can only say...fantastic
