2024 2025 THA PHRAYA ท�าพระยา The Upper East Kitchen Pae-Sa Pla Tod** - 1553 2nd Ave., New York, NY. / thaphraya.nyc / 646-564-1456 - "Flavor is universal. Taste is personal." Thai food carries not just bold flavors, but the memories and history of Thailand. Every family has their own culinary story—like my partner who grew up with sweet-salty Pad See Ew , only to later spice it up with chili flakes. Thai cuisine is a symphony: vibrant tastes, artful presentation, and intoxicating aromas. T ake Miang-kum—one bite captures salty , sour, sweet, spicy , bitter, and buttery notes. At “Tha Phraya”, we’re chefs and restaurateurs united by love for Thai food. We start with the best ingredients, add passion, and craft dishes that become new memories. A destination for those who taste with their hearts.

Menu as captured Aug 24, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 623 venues in New York, NY and could score 353 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 — NO SOURCING EVIDENCE FOUND. We fetched this venue's site and menu and found no sourcing claim, no named farm, no registry listing and no press naming a source. This is a completed check with an empty result, not a judgment of the food: a kitchen can buy beautifully and never say so online. Score is a floor.
We analyzed this venue's menu, website, and press coverage and found no sourcing evidence. That is a finding, not a gap — venues that care about sourcing tend to say so somewhere.
