Hub Thai 7.7
Alphabet City
A laid-back neighborhood Thai spot that’s strongest when you stick to the dependable crowd-pleasers—curries, pad Thai, and stir-fries that land consistently. It’s a practical choice for casual dinners and easy group orders, not a destination tasting.
Must-Try Dishes: Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Tom Yum Soup

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and tougher after 6pm. Public transit or rideshare is easier.
Dress code: Casual neighborhood spot—jeans, sneakers, and everyday wear are all fine.
Noise level: Moderate—lively during peak hours but still easy to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak hours; shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several curries, stir-fries, and noodle dishes can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—ask for tofu/vegetable dishes without fish sauce.
Gluten-free options: Some options available; staff can usually adjust dishes, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It works if you want something relaxed and low-pressure, but it’s more practical than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm, especially on weeknights and at lunch.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—approachable flavors, flexible ordering, and a casual vibe make it easy for kids.
Best For
Better for: Reliable Thai classics, group-friendly ordering, and no-frills neighborhood meals.
Skip if: You’re looking for bold regional specialties, high spice theatrics, or a destination-level Thai experience.
