    Cute Wall decorations.

    Absolutely amazing Thai food! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. One of the best Thai restaurants I've visited. Highly recommend!

    Ordered takeout from this restaurant. I asked for a side of sweet soy and swapped out Asian broccoli for American. They got my order right and food arrived hot and delicious

    Started coming to here many years ago when an older gentleman owned the restaurant. It was closed for awhile until a young couple took it over this year. Very happy to say that the restaurant is just as good if not better than it was back then. I've always been a lover of Thai food having spent some time there while in the service as well as a few business trips later on. Years ago the best Thai food available was in Woodside. SriPraPhai was number one. Many tourists visiting NYC would eat there as well. I believe Hug Thai compares very favorably with the food there. I definitely recommend Hug Tha

    We stopped in for dinner after just driving by and seeing this place. The parking lot in the back is small and so is this place as it only has about 7 or 8 tables. We ordered the crab rangoon, which had a nice crunch, plenty of filling and sauce that tasted good. We also ordered a small tom yum vegetable soup which had a good flavor and was really spicy. For dinner, we ordered the seasame noodles and sweet & sour shrimp. Both tasted good. The only thing that would've made the shrimp dish better would've been if they had taken the tails off the shrimp. Also ordered the mango sticky rice which had fresh sweet mango on it. Service was good as well.

    Local Thai restaurant on Merrick Road that offers quick service in a quaint little restaurant that pleased the taste buds. Shrimp Pad Thai contained all the flavors you want as well as freshness of ingredients. Vegetable Basil was very tasteful with the right amount of spice. Overall a very good experience and certainly looking to go back.

    Amazing food! Most authentic place on Long Island

    Tucked into a row of small local businesses (a rarity these days on LI, the land of huge strip…read moremalls with big box stores), sits Thai Station, a humble little restaurant that offers up a pretty big menu of Thai staples as well as some less easier to find dishes, like my favorite, Tao Hu Hor (bean curd sheet with spinach and mushrooms). What makes it even better? The nicest service that you can imagine. I know they have a huge takeout customer base, judging by the constant dings coming in through the computer and the restaurant was empty when my father and I walked in for a late lunch/early AF dinner (5:30 pm). I always prefer eating at a restaurant to takeout/delivery and although the space is pretty basic, it's well-decorated and comfortable. I didn't expect them to have alcohol, but they do have beer and wine, not a huge list or anything, and I wasn't drinking anyway, but nice to know. My dad got his favorite: massaman beef curry and I got the Tao Hu Hor. It came out quickly, which was good as I was on a time crunch and needed to get back to work. I knew as soon as I laid eyes on my food, it would be good and I was correct. Gorgeous little bundles of veggies smothered in black bean sauce, one of my favorite flavors and in addition to the bean curd skin that wraps around piles of spinach and mushrooms, there's also slices of bean curd, so this is a plant protein powerhouse dish. And absolutely delicious. My father almost lost his mind over how good the sauce is and I think he may consider ordering it in the future (he's a devout meat eater so this is unusual, heh). I'm so glad to have a new LI discovery. We'll be putting this on regular rotation when I'm in town.

    ***INDO-CHINESE FLAVOR BOMB IN YOUR MOUTH*** ***SUPER…read moreFRIENDLY FAMILY-RUN RESTAURANT*** INDO-CHINESE? In the early 1800's a large number of Chinese citizens, immigrated to Calcutta, a city in the northern part of India, close to China. After becoming established, many of these immigrants started opening restaurants to support themselves. And then, because of a lack of certain ingredients, and to tailor the food to the palates of the Indian citizens, these Chinese chefs altered their recipes. And these new recipes, incorporated certain Indian spices, and a heavier use of spices and sauces - which made these new style dishes especially appealing - and created what is known today as Indo-Chinese, or Indian-style Chinese food. MASTER CHEF MIKE TENG Mike Teng, son of Hakka Chinese parents, was born and raised in India. He started cooking at 14, and eventually became a head chef preparing Indo-Chinese food in Mumbai. Then in 1984, he emigrated to the US and worked in the restaurant industry, until he became executive chef at the famous Jade Eatery & Lounge in Forrest Hills Queens. And it was here that he became notorious for his unique cuisine, and went on to receive numerous accolades. A DIFFERENT APPROACH After seven years of grueling work at Jade, Mike decided to take a break from the restaurant industry for a while. Then in 2019 he opened Teng's Restaurant, and set up operations in a way that would minimize work. As such, the restaurant would only open for dinner, between 4-11 PM, and there would be minimal table service. So let me explain how this works: You sit down at a table, and a friendly family member takes you order and helps with recommendations if necessary. And then you grab paper plates & cups, and plastic utensils from a shelf by the front counter. There's also a refrigerator here with drinks to choose from. And then the food is served to you at the table in take-out style containers. THE KEY TO ORDERING HERE There are a relatively large number of items on the menu, but most of the dishes can be broken down into a few different styles, such as Hakka Chili, Manchurian, Salt And Pepper, Orange, Szechuan, Basil, Kung Pao, and Ginger & Scallion. And the key to ordering here is to avoid choosing multiple dishes in the same style, as the meal & flavors can become one-note in nature. But if your vigilant, and pick some of the best items from each style, you will be rewarded with an Indo-Chinese flavor bomb in your mouth. FIRST TIME? GIVE THESE A SHOT So a few recommendations to try on a first visit, if you're able to enjoy spicy foods would be: - Hakka Chili Style Chicken or Beef - Salt and Pepper Style Fish Filets or Chicken - Orange Chicken or Kung Pao Chicken - Manchurian Style Fish or Chicken - General Tso's Chicken or Tofu - Ginger and Scallion Chicken - Szechuan Wontons or Momos - Orange Glazed Wings or Hakka Chili Wings - Basil Fried Rice - Hakka Noodles And here's a few vegetable recommendations: - Manchurian style Cauliflower or Salt and Pepper Cauliflower - Szechuan Potato or Potato with Black Bean Sauce - Spicy Stir Fried String Beans. - Mapo Tofu - Manchow Soup with or without meat YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA LOVE THIS PLACE After many visits here with dozens of different people, I've noticed first-timers always react the same way when trying one of chef Teng's best dishes. Their eyes open wide, and the head starts slowly shaking side-to-side, and then I hear grunts of mmm! or wow! I mean really, it never fails to be a wonderful surprise for everyone. But don't get me wrong, not everything on the menu is a home run. For example, some of the Asian fusion dishes such as Pad Thai or Mango Chicken are just weird. So even though there are some things to overlook here, such as no lunch service, or the cafeteria style vibe, If you choose some of the chef's best dishes, for sure that flavor bomb is going to hit you right in the mouth, and you'll definitely be coming back here for more. I always do.
