I haven't been in Woodside for a very long time since I moved out of NY. It was a must visit since…read moreI was in the area. The seatings seem to space out with more breathing room a bit from long time ago. More waitstaff and very attentive. Indoor was very cold but the outdoor was hot that day so we chose to sit indoor. Duck noodle was not disappoint. Kuay tiew kaak- curry noodle with rice noodle, chicken, bean sprouts, egg, and peanuts was a good reminiscence. The curry itself was very thick which makes this dish heavy. This was the same as before. Kao soy chicken was a bit different. It used to be bone in thigh, which was the highlight of the dish. Now it is boiled chicken pieces. Something is not the same with the taste either but the dish is still good. Breaded shrimp was very crispy!

This was one of the first truly authentic Thai restaurants in the city, and I've been coming here…read morefor decades. Over the years, they've updated the dining room and become a bit more polished to keep up with the wave of trendy, upscale restaurants that have opened around them. Thankfully, the food hasn't changed. The flavors remain solid, traditional, and deeply satisfying. While many places have leaned into fusion or toned things down for broader appeal, this restaurant has stayed true to its roots. Whenever I'm feeling nostalgic for the flavors I remember from the back alleys of Bangkok, this is where I come. It's still one of the closest experiences I've found outside of Thailand.

Service was great and efficient. Shortly after we sat down, we were greeted by our server and received water. One member in my party has a gluten sensitivity, and when we mentioned this, our server brought out a gluten-free menu! It has a great selection and my friend was overjoyed with the options. The food was delicious and a bit spicy, even at the mild option. If I was there for lunch, I would have ordered a Thai ice tea (the drink had too much caffeine for me the evening ). The food was delicious, and is something that we'd all order again. My favorite part of the evening was the tv playing a Thai cooking show. There were no captions or subtitles so I kept asking the server what veggies were on screen, and they too didn't know because there was no caption. A fantastic restaurant worth hitting up if you're in the area.

Make a reservation if you plan to dine here - this place is TINY!…read moreGreat prices and good portions here. I will begin by saying I wasn't fond of their lack of vegetarian modifications (ie shrimp paste in all of their curries that couldn't be removed, oyster sauce in everything, etc). I am vegetarian, luckily not too strict to where I wouldn't order these items because of it but it is a bit deterring. The food here is good. I really enjoyed their Pad Se Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Green Curry (all with tofu of course). Their drinks are really fun in their presentation, but they were more on the sweet/juice-forward side. We were a bit disappointed that they didn't have their mango sticky rice for dessert, but the fried ice cream was solid.

The place is small with 5 tables. There were only 2 ladies working there. One is cook and the other lady handles the front of the house. Service was fast. I had the lunch special pad thai with chicken. My pad thai was sweet but I am not sure if that's normally sweet. The dish is very tasty. It had lots of peanuts and bean sprouts. My daughter had chicken cutlet fried rice. The chicken was very delicious crispy and moist in the center. The fried rice was a a normally tasting rice. She would glady get another chicken. The spring roll had a lot of finely shredded cabbage and carrots. I didn't like the dripping sauce. It was very sweet. I ate the spring rolls by itself. The roll is very crispy and freshly made.

They definitely didn't tell me that lunch specials were available before I ordered my soup. Other than that, everyone is pleasant. Space: they have two sides, so plenty of space, but nights and weekends can get pretty packed, so keep that in mind. Food: I ordered Tom Yum soup and a lunch drunken noodle with a Thai iced tea. I only had the soup there and took the entire lunch special to go. Just based off of the soup, I will be going back. It was delicious and PACKED to the MAX! Writing this now, I can still imagine. Drunken Noodles were also really tasty. I like mine spicy and it could have been made spicier, but that's not even a real complaint. Also- the one next to me had this dish which reminded me of pad see ew but in a gravy. Looked delicious!! I will be back for whatever she had. Overall: the entire block is like a little Thai street. There are lots of Thai food options and I finally made it to Ayada. Super happy with my meal and excited to go back with some people and enjoy.

I had a great experience here last week on a take out order when an older woman--who seemed like…read morethe owner--took my order and made sure my chicken with basil sauce was prepared mild, exactly as requested. Unfortunately, my visit tonight was the exact opposite. ​The young woman working the front counter showed zero care or basic customer service. When I asked for a plastic bag to go over the hot paper takeout bag, she simply handed it to me flat instead of holding it open so I could slide the order in, leaving me to juggle a hot, heavy meal myself at the counter. ​Worse, when I got home, the dish was intensely hot and burning. I checked the receipt ticket and saw she never even bothered to ring in the "mild" modifier, so the kitchen made it standard full heat. Careless ordering and non-existent service just ruined what was supposed to be a decent dinner. A real shame, but I won't be returning.

I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday, so maybe that's why I'm extra disappointed because I…read morereally wanted this meal to be great. To start, the food wasn't bad. There were some things we enjoyed, but overall we left feeling that the quality and portions didn't justify the prices. We ordered the chicken curry puffs first. They were much sweeter than I'm used to, and instead of the traditional cucumber relish, they were served with plum sauce. It wasn't terrible, just not what I expected. The roti with Massaman curry had good flavor, but the curry was so thin that it had the consistency of soup rather than a rich curry. It also came without any potatoes, carrots, or onions. I wasn't expecting meat, but I did expect a more traditional Massaman curry. The grilled beef (nuea yang) was cooked well and very tender, but the beef itself was lacking seasoning. Thankfully, the dipping sauces added some flavor. The beef short rib khao soi was another dish that felt underwhelming. The short rib was excellent--fall-off-the-bone tender--but the curry broth itself tasted too light. I personally think it needed more curry paste and more depth of flavor, especially for a dish that's around $40. The biggest disappointment was the kua kling chicken and the Hat Yai fried chicken. Both portions were surprisingly small considering the price. That's where I really felt the value wasn't there. Unfortunately, the service didn't help either. It wasn't rude, but it felt inattentive and lacked the warmth and hospitality I usually associate with Thai restaurants. I always want to support fellow Thai-owned businesses, so writing this review honestly makes me sad. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying the restaurant--this is simply my family's experience. Everyone has different tastes, and yours may be completely different from ours. For us, though, the combination of light flavors, small portions, and lackluster service left us disappointed, especially for a birthday dinner.

Small Thai restaurant on the side street that does a lot of meals as well as Thai style desserts…read more This place only seats maybe 20-24 people at most and the tables are tiny so keep that in mind. I do wish the tables and seating were more comfortable-the tables are cute- they are made out of old singer sewing bases. However cuz the bases are narrow your knees constantly bump into it The chairs/benches are also very narrow so keep this in mind as you won't be sitting there long. The food was fairly priced for the portions and was cooked to order. I did wish that my fish dish was on the crispier side but it was very flavorful and pungent. The soup has a nice kick to it and our appetizer was delicious. Would def go back again to try more items.
