    Chicken Pad See Ew
    Shayna H.

    Hero Thai is a small business with a beautiful ambiance and delicious food. The waitresses were very kind and the service was quick but not rushed. I ordered the chicken pad see ew. Everything tasted great and the price was very reasonable. Would recommend!

    So cute! I love the aesthetic and the food! The Thai iced tea is a must order. It comes with an ice cube in the shape of a bear (filled with Thai iced tea). You can't get that anywhere else! We ordered the lychee duck curry and the pineapple fried rice. Food came out quick. Service was excellent. The ambiance is also stunning! I love the hanging flowers. Will definitely be back.

    Had a wonderful experience here. The appetizers are super cheap. Customer service was on top of everything. They even made me a drink that wasn't on the happy hour menu. The happy hour is great too. This place definitely passes the vibe check. The place wasn't too loud or anything, I think we were the 1st customers. I'm happy it was cool in temperature. They definitely deserved the 25% tip. I'd definitely make this a starting off place before heading to a dinner. Wish I lived closer I'd have their appetizers for lunch on the daily. Those fried oysters did not disappoint. ::bathroom alert:: Clean bathrooms. I appreciate the nice smelling soap. I love the decor of the place, its floral and just beautiful. Such a chill spot to go. I absolutely love the fish tanks.

    Went to Hero Thai for dinner on a Sunday and it was a nice, easygoing experience. It wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We had the chicken pad see ew and the garlic fried rice with shrimp, both were good and flavorful, no complaints. Nothing over the top, just solid Thai food that hit the spot. Would definitely recommend and would go back.

    Always enjoy coming to Hero as there's never a wait, service is prompt, and the food is always consistently good. They have expanded their menu to a more "Pan Asian" style, but I stick to the Thai items which never disappointed. If you're vegetarian, they have a number of pant based meat products to give you your protein options. Nice and cool ambiance.

    Festive decoration..look to your right wall, its japanese pictures and decoration, to your left, is thai posters. Servers were really nice, food was pretty good. Good value. Recommending this one!

    Delicious lunch and great price starts at $11.50 entree comes with soup or salad and an appetizer. I opted for the salad & crab Rangoon - then really enjoyed the tofu tom yum noodle soup! My husband got the curry pork katsu and we also got mango sticky rice to try (thought this was okay for the price, the rice wasn't sticky enough bland didn't really taste like dessert). I enjoyed the lychee Thai tea and the Thai coffee came with a little frozen coffee ice bear. Staff was so friendly and attentive, I enjoyed the experience and will be back again.

    Went here on a random Wednesday night for dinner. We were greeted by friendly servers who sat us right away. We ordered the shoyu ramen, shrimp tempura, and the tom yum soup with shrimp. The ramen had a nice light and flavorful broth. The tom yum soup was packed with flavor and spicy just the way I liked it. The shrimp tempura was okay--it was a bit heavy on the breading. Our waitress was warm and friendly and checked up on us frequently. Overall a pretty solid place.

    A lovely Thai, Japanese eatery on the beaten path that is never too loud or crowded. The food and service are top tier and their variety of options are astounding. Would recommend any of the wok noodles, ramens and soups in particular! Also really enjoyed their curry options which are so comforting and savory! Highly recommend for lunch and dinner.

    Got the yummy hearty Koa Soi Ramen, the curry is spicy but not overwhelming it just warm you a bit on cold days, so perfect on winter, and I paired with my fav Thai Iced Tea that come with a bear-y sweet company, lol , he was my date.

    This place is the best , great food and drinks , have  to try the Thai herbal shot , super strong and tasty:)

    Amazing as always. Food is delicious. Service is perfection always. Price is great, lots of specials. Ambiance is fantastic. Always love the decor. Authentic Thai. Just amazing hands down every time.

    Came here with my boo for a lunch date. We thought the lunch specials were only on the weekdays but it's also on weekends so that was a nice start. They go on from 12:00 to 4pm. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day, we didn't order any appetizers since the special already came with an appetizer+ soup or salad. We ordered a crispy spring roll and the gyoza. For our entrees we both got the chicken pad Thai. Everything was super delicious and fresh and served super fast. This place was very impressive, the inside is beautiful and inviting and very clean. It opened in 2018 and survived the pandemic so it's doing something right. Can't believe I'm just hearing about it now and I've lived in Astoria 20 years now. What a find. Def going back to try different things. Great service + good prices too.

    Really great food! I was tired after a long flight and needed sustenance. The khao soi and duck roll hit the spot! And arrived so quickly on DoorDash. Thank you! I'll come visit soon

The yakitori here is very tasty. We loved the veggie skewers (okra and shishito peppers. The salmon belly is actually just salmon pieces and not the belly party. The enoki beef was little too salty. The squid, beef and scallops were very tasty. The veggies tempura were freshly fried and delicious. Could have been drained a little better. Salmon crispy rice was a hit but the star of the show was the sushi and sashimi deluxe and the blue Toro roll. Amazingly fresh. The passion toro was a little too sweet and fishy for us and had no passion fruit taste. Service here is amazing. The server actually gifted us the desserts of matcha creme brûlée and homemade green tea mochi ice cream. So sweet of him!

There's a great selection of liquors and variety for cocktails, beers on tap, and mocktails. The lunch special was worth it. The quality of the food and presentation are above average. The fish was so fresh and you can really taste the quality. We ordered the pizza which was a fried scallion pancake with spicy tuna and spicy Mayo and teriyaki sauce on top. It was delicious and well balanced. We tried the otoro sushi which was really nice and fatty. The wasabi was real which is how you know a restaurant is decent quality and care about what they serve. There were regular customers that the restaurant staff would recognize and greet warmly. The servers were caring and attentive. The complimentary tea was not just your basic green tea. There was a fruity note to it. It gave me such a good impression. The only downfall is that it is not parking friendly area. Definitely use public transit if you can to save time and money on parking. I would return if parking was better. The food was great and the atmosphere was a vibe.

I'd recommend the spicy tuna crunch roll. Will definitely be back for their great food and the opportunity to watch games here!

It looks like it comes with a lot of meat, but be aware that it's only a layer of sliced beef on top of a bunch of bean sprouts. The spicy seafood jjamppong was spicier than we were expecting. I liked the bits of seafood that it came with, as well as the vegetables and roe. Both dishes had very large portion sizes and were great value.

We called ahead to confirm that this shop had open tables and were able to serve gluten free so we walked on over and were sat down right away. We ordered the Okonomiyaki ($20) and it was amazing. There was plenty of sauce on top and the pancake was super soft and had lots of flavor. The only thing about it was that it was a lot smaller than I thought I would get for $20. We thought we would be able to split between two of us but the pancake was only about 6" in diameter that it could be finished by one person. It was nice and quiet aside from the music playing but it was a nice place to just chill out at the end of the night. Service was nice and accommodating to dietary restrictions. We spent a while in there because the food did take a bit to come out and came out as they were ready so some people got their dishes and finished eating way before others got theirs. Overall, a pretty solid place to lay back and get some yakitori or other small Japanese dishes.
