    Drunken Noodles and Green Curry with Thailand IcedTea
    Syed Adnan S.

    The restaurant is owned and run by a Muslim Family from Thailand. Having spent time in Thailand, Bangkok we are familiar with the Authentic Taste and this Restaurant cones close to providing the taste of Eating in Thailand. We ordered Tom Yum soup with Shrimps, the soup was decent however it included only 3 pieces of shrimps which we find it to be "stingy"! The Green Curry with Chicken was awesome !!! Hands down gives you an Authentic taste of Thailand Green Curry ... Thailand Iced Tea was alright, could have been better. Maybe less ice, next time I will definitely try lychee Ice Tea. Drunken Noodles with chicken was good but not great. The Service was Excellent, the chef came to ask us how we liked the food. She was really nice :) We love it that it's a family owned business and they are able to provide you with a Taste of Thailand :) We are glad we went and looking fwd to enjoying other dishes.

    We had the following at Amina's - Thai iced tea (good) -wings (good) -lollipop chicken (good) -fried rice (ok) -half chicken (ok) -coconut sticky rice with mango (good - my favorite dessert) Overall the food is decent. I would definitely come back.

    The food is great and so is the environment! Very tasteful and filling. The only down side to this restaurant now is that they changed their policy to cash only which is hard nowadays and the service is a bit on the slower side.

    The food is the real Thai and so delicious. The fried ice cream must try!!! recommend

    Chill chicken. Comes with a side of rice
    Sarah K.

    SUCH a great place. Clean, cute decorations and its spacious enough. The service was great- the chef brought out some of the dishes to us since it wasn't so busy- such a nice touch! The lollipop chicken is always on point. They have a variety of options (although their lunch menu is a bit limited). We ordered the beef drunken noodles (10/10!!) and the red pepper fried rice with chicken. It wasn't as flavorful, will be ordering a different kind next time. Highly recommend, prices are more than fair (about $10/entree and the portions are generous), cute setting, great experience! Update: this place is ALWAYS a winner. The food always comes fast and the staff is so courteous and nice. And the food ALWAYS tastes great. My favorite Thai restaurant!!

    Chicken lollipop that actually was shrimp
    C B.

    They tried to kill me !. I ordered their version of a sampler .. it looked great and then I noticed their chicken lollipop was replaced with some kind of shrimp roll and I have severe shellfish allergies. I had to throw the whole thing away so my lunch consisted of a thai iced tea which was good and air . I was told the wings were good but qas too scared to eat anything after seeing such carelessness

    I've had food from Amina delivered to my apartment and most recently ate at the restaurant. I think the food and service is pretty good. Warning: their food is very spicy. I ordered the Drunken Noodle and once asked for the Pad Thai spicy. Wowsers... I like spicy food, but this is a little out of control. Now I ask for it mild, and on occasion I get it spicy. The shrimp appetizer are pretty good too. The spring rolls are ok. As for some of the other reviews, I think reviewing this place based on their delivery guy is pretty unfair. I've had different delivery guys from Amina show up at my door and I haven't had an issue with any of them. If I did, it doesn't take away the fact that the food is delicious.

    Mango Avacado salad

    Thai iced Tea with Lychee is amazing. Lunch serving was descent. Would def go back. Mango Avacado Salad was perfection

    Worst thai restaurant, complete rip off, tiny serving size, not tasty, $$$ expensive

Their Green Curry which has a well-balanced heat is flavorful without completely overwhelming your palate. Their sweet sausage pad Thai and vibrant, photogenic blue coconut rice are wonderful. The Lunch Special from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM are great, bundling one main and one appetizer for a budget-friendly price. I have noted that the staff is fast, friendly, and helpful with menu recommendations. Some of my friends feel the prices run slightly high for portion sizes compared to standard takeout joints. It is worth coming back to this place because of their fresh, well-spiced food, good cocktails, and reasonable prices.

The steak itself was good, but the overall combination felt a bit off. I also wasn't a fan of the noodles they use for their Pad Thai, although the flavor was spot on.

Food (4/5): For the price point of $40, it is all you can eat. There are a wide range of meats of seafood, lamb, pork, chicken, and beef. The beef cuts weren't that great but it was nice to be able to try everything. Not that many pre-marinated (Thai) options. The premade sauces were all on the sweet side. The chicken broth surrounding the grill was a bit plain to taste and did not get very hot (seemed like one temperature setting for both). Veggie options were limited to 10ish items. The hot food area was actually pretty good consisting of fried egg, marinated ground chicken, tom yum, thai chicken wings, etc. For dessert, there was a variety of cake (cheese cake, chocolate, mango, tiramisu), Hersey's ice cream, shaved ice, sliced fruit, and grass jelly. Everything was solid. If there was an option to add-on higher quality meats for a premium, I'd consider that as well. Happy to try this place again.

We started with fried calamari and papaya salad, which were prepared medium spicy and were quite good. Next came Tom yum soup with shrimp and also with chicken. The wonderful flavors, especially the coconut milk, made this especially satisfying. This soup is a winner and I'll be back for more! It's that good. Entrees followed, chicken pad Thai and crispy pork with basil. Both were delicious also. We asked for our usual sticky rice with mango, but alas, it wasn't available. Instead the nice waitress recommended coconut pudding, and it was awesome. The ambiance of the room was nice with pleasant music and spacious seating. Service was very good with helpful and pleasant attentive staff. This jewel of a place will be at the top of my list from now on. And I love frequenting the smaller local neighborhood restaurants to boot. All is good in Bayside Queens!

The crab rolls were fine, but the Cho Muang's texture was a bit off to me. The drinks were also really good. I tried the lychee floral spritz and loved it! Unfortunately, the service is what kept this from being a five-star experience. My food came out first, but my friend's didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes later.
