    Coming home from a long workday, I was so close to going to Court Square Diner, but instead detoured here. Glad I did, they had an amazing fried rice at a reasonable good price too. Cooked to perfection and the staff were easy to talk to. And quick!

    Regular chicken fried rice
    Jas C.

    Looking for a good Thai restaurant by my job! We ordered from here. I got regular fried rice with chicken and my co workers got the spicy one. Which I would've gotten but it had mushrooms. I do not like mushrooms lol ordering and delivery were perfect. The food also came with springs rolls and dipping sauce to go with it. Which is always nice. My co workers loved her rice. I personally found mine bland and if you look closely at the chicken it doesn't look like it's seasoned. The spring rolls were delicious. Maybe we order again let's see how I feel

    Lunch special menu 08/23
    Matthew H.

    I was in the area around lunch time and decided to try out their lunch menu. I was shocked at how cheap it was - just $12 with a cash discount ! - and decided to order the pad see ew with chicken. The restaurant is very small, but when I dropped by around 2pm ish, there were only two other tables there. Unfortunately, it soon became clear why the lunch prices were so low. My pad see ew primarily tasted of pepper (seasoned with SO much black pepper) - not much flavour otherwise from either the noodles themselves or the slices of chicken. The shumai dumplings didn't really taste fresh either - I ended up only eating one of these. I'm wondering if I just got unlucky w my order specifically or if it's a general trend; my experience seems to diverge quite strongly from many of the other reviews I've seen on here. I might drop by again to give it another chance, but with so many great restaurants in the neighbourhood, it probably won't be anytime soon.

    $12 or $14 for lunch special (entree + mini appetizer), served until 3:30pm, is a pretty good deal in the area. Add $2 to sub brown rice. I think there's a 10% cash discount. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options, which is uncommon at Thai restaurants - most have fish sauce, shrimp paste, and other seasonings that are premixed (eg in the curry paste). The green curry is pretty good. The veggie dumplings were unique but I didn't enjoy the texture/flavor of the filling. Seating wise, there are 4 tables (2 seat 2 people and 2 seat 4 people) and a window bar with 3 seats. Takeout seems more popular for lunch but it's a perfectly nice place to sit and rarely crowded.

    Very nice and wonderful food, appetizers, salad. Today we have catering from Heng Thai for our company. Delivery come on time food tastes very good nice and delicious

    Pad Krapow Moo was very good, almost like Thailand, but the Holy Basil not easy to find in the state. It's Mostly take out but there are a couple of tables. Service is good but can be a little slow, during lunch time due to traffic. It's worth short wait...Cheers!

    Guys, don't sleep on this place. As others mentioned, there's a cash discount. The food is fast, fresh, and DELICIOUS. I've been several times and every time it's sooooo tasty. And, the workers are so kind and friendly too. They have a lot of regulars and no matter what time I visit, they're always busy. They're very accommodating to vegetarians, too. Love eating here!

    drunken noodles and mango w coconut sticky rice
    Brian S.

    Its your standard lunch special takeout thai fare but the prices are lower than anywhere else I've seen. No complaints about the drunken noodles - generous portion of protein, and perfect amount of spice. Best mango sticky rice ive had.

    Open during COVID-19 as of December 2021: Heng Thai, located across the E/7/M/G stop of 23rd Court Square, was a previous Thai restaurant in 2019. Since 2020, it has rebranded. I've only ordered and tried this authentic Thai establishment as of 2021 and find it a great addition to the neighboring Thai eateries in town. Location wise, it is very convenient when living off the main road of Vernon and nearby MoMa PS1. The restaurant is not fancy, however, it is adorned with Thai newspaper wallpaper which I found unique. There are a few casual table seating and window seating. I've only ordered to-go by calling ahead and picking up within 20 minutes which, for me, is a standard amount of time for Thai food. The staff is quick and pleasant. The food is always good although price is LIC price range so it's not cheap at all and very comparable to restaurants on Vernon. I am a fan of their green curry and brown rice, although it is mild in my opinion. The portions are reasonable. They have some vegan options too which is nice for those who are vegetable and vegan forward. Heng Thai has a vast selection of dishes to choose. Accepts cash and card. Indoor, take out, pickup and delivery available. Masks inside. Bon appetit!

    Pad Thai (Pork)
    Rolando N.

    Popped in on a Saturday evening to get some pork Pad Thai. It was very tasty. About as good as it gets. My wife had a chicken curry that was equally delicious. Simple Thai good cooked fast and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly.

    Lunch special drunken noodles with mock duck and it comes with 2 small spring rolls. I ate 1 before the pic lol
    Cheri G.

    About 4 table tops in total and a seating area at the window to look onto the street. The place may be small but the food packs big flavors! I came in today bad the lunch special it comes with a choice of 1 appetizer and an entree for around 15 before tax. I had the spring roll they were crispy. I ordered the drunken noodles with mock duck spicy that was so on point. The lady at the counter was very friendly and polite. I'm not from the area but if I'm around again I'd stop in

    Pad see ew.... Supposedly with chicken but you'll have to put on your glasses to find any.
    Kaylee S.

    We ordered green curry from here and it was so fresh and delicious! We were surprised actually by HOW fresh the eggplant, peppers etc were... awesome prices and very friendly staff!! Will be back and can't wait to try some of their noodle dishes. The above was from over 1 year ago. The quality of their food has gone down the toilet. I paid almost $20 today for a bowl of sticky noodles. I ordered pad see ew with chicken and there was BARELY any meat....if I accumulated it all, it would be a deli slice of chicken. It was terrible and bland. This had happened for the last few orders that I've gotten and I'm done with Heng Thai. They used to have AMAZING thai food and I ordered really often but the management or chef has changed and not for the better.

    They double charge taxes on their food! There's other options in the area, check them out instead.

After being in Thailand, we had a sense of good Thai food and this place did not disappoint! Pad Thai - 5/5 great pad thai with great flavor and no disappointment there Khao Na Neua - 5/5 Grilled ribeye over garlic rice was also tasty topped off with a marinated egg Tod Mun Hua Plee - 4/5 these are fried banana flowers which was something new to me. Overall tasted pretty good with a nice dipping sauce Som Tam - 5/5 always a refreshing starter with papaya that I always get at any Thai restaurant Will definitely make my way here again when I'm craving Thai!

    Don't go close to closing…read more I give the curry 5 stars but everything brought it done to a 3. The rice was reheated and kind of crispy. The tofu from the curry and chicken from the pad see ew was obviously reheated/recooked several times. I absolutely loved the curry but I made a mistake coming close to closing. I 100% would come back closer to opening. I'm a big fan of drunken noodles so the noodles and vegetables itself were great. The curry was also fantastic with the vegetables (minus the tofu). The mackerel in the chu chee should've had more sauce but it was good. There should have been another mackerel since it wasn't very filling. The Thai tea was very nice - I enjoyed swirling toix the condensed milk and rest of the drink to create the nice flavor. The vibes are that of a holl in the wall off of main Street and there is a partly torn down 3 side wall where you check in. The ambiance is very nice and small, I enjoyed it.

The kitchen here doesn't shy away from traditional flavors--the food is unapologetically spicy and savory, avoiding the "overly sweet" profile that many Thai spots fall into. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: Tom Yum Goong: This was the star of the show. It had a sharp, clean heat and a perfect citrus punch without that syrupy finish you often find elsewhere. Crispy Pork Belly: Exactly what you want it to be. The skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat remained tender, seasoned perfectly to highlight the savory pork flavor. Fried Fish: Deep-fried to perfection with a light, crispy exterior. The sauce paired chili and fish sauce with fresh mango. Crab Fried Rice: Generous with the crab meat and wonderfully "wok-hei" (charred) and salty. It wasn't bogged down by sweet soy sauce, allowing the delicate crab to shine. The only real sweetness of the night came from the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect, cooling end to a very spicy meal. The mango was ripe and the coconut milk was rich, providing the only sugary reprieve of the evening. Service was so nice. The hostess and sever were so nice and friendly. The severer felt like a Thai uncle, he made jokes, gave us napkins, joked with my child. It felt so familial. If you want authentic, spicy Thai food that prioritizes salt, spice, and acid over sweetness, this is your spot.

    I first went to Kam Rai Thai in Astoria back in December 2024 and recently came back on a Friday…read moreevening in April 2026. Kam Rai Thai has a very cozy and warm atmosphere with fake flowers decor everywhere. Street parking can be hard at times and involve circling around a few times. Food menu can be accessed by QR code and paper menu for drinks. The first time I visited Kam Rai Thai, I shared the papaya salad with my friend and had the Pad woon sen with shrimp. The papaya salad with green papaya, string bean, tomato and roasted peanut with spicy lime juice was refreshing and light. The Pad woon sen has sauteed glass noodle, egg, onion, scallion, cabbage, celery, carrot, tomato and sesame oil. The second time I visited, I had the Pad see ew with beef. The Pad see ew has sauteed wide noodles with Chinese broccoli, black soy sauce, and egg. Both dishes were very flavorful, delicious, delectable, and appetizing. The dishes were very filling and there was a good proportion of noodles and protein. I've had the Rainfall in Loei and Fang Martini Time, both are really good drinks and not overly strong. We shared the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was good. The mango was very fresh and the sticky rice with coconut milk was sweet, but not overly. My friends ordered the Kopi De Trang, Spicy Maesai Plum, Rainfall in Loei, Thai ice tea lychee, pad see ew with chicken, pad kee mao beef (non spicy), and khao soi gai confit. I ordered a pad kee mao beef with a spice level of 2 to go. It is a great option to have a spicy and non spicy option for pad kee mao. Everyone enjoyed their food. Staff are very friendly and the food come out very quickly after ordering. There is a 5% discount if you pay with cash and a 2.95% surcharge for credit cards. Kam Rai Thai serves authentic Thai food and I can't wait to come back. It is a great place for friends to catch up.

The staff work hard to extend this setup and homely hospitality you can expect at any hole in the wall. Favorite points I'll bring out about this place. It introduces unique dishes from Thailand that is their comfort food that you won't find anywhere. Their appetizers sweet peanut dumplings was so naturally crunchy and sweet. And the skins on this was freshly done that you can feel how fresh and doughy it is from a delicate dumpling. Main course was hard to choose from as I've never had Thai version katsu, crispy fish in curry, and other crisp curry noodles dishes. I got the crispy khao duck in turmeric rice because of my mood and this did not disappoint. It was overwhelmingly flavorful with the right spicy, crispiness and zesty flavors. Only thing is this did leave a long impression for me to come back and try their other signature dishes because it kept my excitement to want to try everything. The owners themselves are the most kindest and respectful staff you'll encounter to help you decide what's right based on your appetite. Introduced this place to others I knew that is a big fan of Thai cuisine in the neighborhood and were happy I added a comfort food spot to their list.

    I got takeout this time, and the menu has more than doubled since the last time I ate here…read more I got the Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice which comes with a fragrant and light broth. I got this with poached chicken to absorb the broth. The chicken liver was good but they give you a lot of it - as someone who likes liver, this was still a lot of liver. They have choice of ginger rice vs sticky rice. I also got the pa lo moo sam chan, a pork belly dishes that was similarly flavorful but light, but a different flavor profile. I thought it'd be too salty but that was not the case. The pork was tender but my only complaint is that they give you really fatty pieces. It comes with mushrooms, tofu, and an egg that was unfortunately not runny at all. Comes with ginger rice. I also tried the coconut custard which was very good. Not sure what to do with the actual bowls though.
