Elmhurst has great Thai food but sometimes I need a spot closer to home and this is it! Mae Chan's interior isn't anything to boost about, but when I went during prime time, there were several tables still available. This restaurant is a mom and pop shop and the owners are very friendly! The pad sew ew is one of my fave. The crispy pork is delicious as well but could be fried a little bit longer to give it that extra crispiness. Would definitely come back again especially to support a small business that serves delicious food. Parking around the area is a nightmare though. One thing I would read more

Excellent food and service. The server was very nice and kept our cup of water filled. They have a nice lunch special and was very full leaving. Nice sudden interior. Got the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Very good. Will come back again. read more

We've become fairly regular at That Thai. The food is always wonderful. Everything from the fried rice to the curries to the noodles is excellent. The staff is so warm and welcoming and love to see you enjoy he food. This is a small business that you need to try and support. read more

Wanted to give this restaurant a try. It appears to be a family run restaurant. Service is prompt and friendly. Food portions are on the larger size than what's served in many similar restaurants. Taste of the food is flavorful. We ordered some appetizers (soft shell crab salad, fried squid, chicken larb salad, scallops, & spring rolls). My favorite was the squid! Everyone seemed happy with the choices. For main, we ordered a curry duck, assorted pad Thai's, crispy pad Thai, Tim yum soup, and pad see ew. I liked the crispy pad Thai with duck - different. Then we had the mango sticky rice for dessert. Server came around to fill our water glasses which was appreciated. A good find and a good experience. read more

I'm not sure if they just changed the name or management but it's a "new" place. I hadn't been here in a while as the old place wasn't my first choice for Thai but the inside is nicely decorated and a nice vibe as well. The food was delicious and they definitely had traditional dishes. They have definitely moved up on my list now and I'll be back soon. read more

Another first... I was enjoying my lunch here until the waitress was asking us to write reviews for the restaurant. Yes, the food and service is acceptable. However, asking us to write a review is unacceptable and kind of desperate. I ordered the pad thai and my friend ordered one of the Tom Yum soups. read more

This place has 20% off the total bill for all dine in and take out meals. That's what caught my eye. When we entered the lady who greeted us was very friendly and told us to sit anywhere. We chose and decided to sit way inside to avoid the draft. It was empty on a Friday night so that was something of a concern, but decided to give it a shot. Foodwise, I ordered the seafood pad thai for myself. It looked like egg designed into different square or rectangle shapes ok the dish. Also, I tried the chicken drunken noodles which was alright and the chicken basil fried rice. For dessert, the vanilla ice cream with the fried ice cream hit the spot. Everything came out pretty fast so the service was great. Overall, I would recommend this spot for a Thai spot. read more

Great service and great food. All of the food tasted really good. I was the the mood for some mango sticky rice and this hit the spot. I'll recommend this local spot for anyone craving for Thai food! read more

I walked by this seemingly unassuming place and was drawn in by the fact that it was new. I'm glad I stopped in because I was greeted by friendly staff as I walked in. I felt so attended to throughout the meal. The Roti was warm and buttery, one of the best I've had. It was also very fairly priced for the portion size! It was a must get to pair with the Khao Soi, since I liked dipping it in. The chicken in the Khao Soi was tender, and there was a good ratio of meat to noodles. I liked the flavor. The Thai Tea was a refreshing way to end the meal. At nighttime, this spot is very moody and cozy. I plan to return again, maybe for a lunch! read more

Saturday afternoon lunch before an appointment as the Power of One. It has been a long while to be engrossed and consume Thai cuisine. I am finally making progress in my Yelp bookmark to try because you have to try. I was pressed for time as my appointment time was drawing near. Pad Kee Mao is always my predilection for Thai culinary cuisine as my default choice of entree with Thai iced tea. This dish is similar to the Chinese Cantonese version of beef chow fun 乾炒牛河 (gon1 caau2 ngau4 ho4*2) which evoke memories of my childhood of dining in Chinese restaurants with my family as the common denominator is fried wide flat dried rice noodles. Ahh, nostalgia... Phat Khee Mao with shrimp (Drunken Noodles/Chili Basil Noodles) $18.90 This is a prepared very well and it was very flavorful. This entree is the only Thai entree that I can tolerate a slightly medium heat index on the Scoville scale. I am not a spicy food intake girl and I surely do not use hot sauce. Soy sauce and oyster sauce is how I embedded taste in Asian foods in my home as condiments. I am always enamored with wide flat dried rice noodles since childhood which is cooked on a wok with a very high fire. The Thai basil and red chilies peppers were not overpowering the noodles for minimal quantity as the main protagonist, but was the lead for flavor and heat. I decide to add shrimp as my choice of protein as I can never attain sufficient shrimp for my foodie interest. The shrimp was average. I like the vegetables for string bean and carrot. There were onions. I did not care for the one piece of zucchini, undesirable and unwanted. This entree was served piping hot as steam is visible for rising temperature, but fresh and flavorful. I do not recommend consuming this entree frequently due to the high cholesterol from high sodium content and high grease intake for possible weight gain as health risk. To combat this high greasy fried food ingestion, later in the day, I burnt these calories by exercising rigorously in a gym until closing time. Thai iced tea $4.50 There is a reason for Thai iced tea as my default drink for spicy foods. Thai ice tea contains milk which is an acidic agent to neutralize the heat. It contains sugar and condensed milk served chilled. The milk did cool my mouth from the chilies peppers which enable me to continue consuming to the entirety. My eyes were not watery and my mouth return to normalcy. Customer service is attentive as there is only one server who was the female officer captain leading the ship to sail with patrons that is moderately busy on a Saturday afternoon. It was not entirely busy and I immediately attain a table as the Power of One. It was neither packed nor crowded. Staff automatically assume customers cannot use chopsticks as I was immediately provided a fork, but I was pressed for time to make my appointment to request and then wait for chopsticks that I quickly devoured my entree. This restaurant has a modern contemporary Asian atmosphere and I was listening to lounge music in the background. I believe Norah Jones' "Sunrise" was playing, but I like "Come Away With Me." No comment for the facilities as I did not utilize. Takeout menus are readily available for grabs. read more

Something about me: I'm always going to down some Thai. Put a need pad see ew in front of me, and don't expect conversation until I'm done. This spot was pretty cozy, with dim lighting and a small interior. I went in for lunch at 2 on a Friday, and apart from me, there was one other person dining in. They had a lot of delivery orders, so you know this place is popular with the locals. They have a lunch special where you can pick a side and an entree. I tried both the Tom Yum soup and the salad. They weren't too special, but this is complete bias because I'm not a fan of Tom Yum soup. The sauce on the pad see ew was great. I didn't think it was too sweet, which happens quite often. I actually preferred the taste of the fried rice a lot better. There was the perfect amount of flavor, and it tasted kind of smokey. I have no idea how to explain it, but it tasted like GOOD fried rice, yaknowwhatimean?? They close at around 3 PM for their break and reopen at 4, but they will start turning people away if you come in later than around 2:30. Overall, it's a pretty solid Thai spot. I thought I was not going to like it as much because it was a pretty uneducated pick. It was the first place I stopped in on the Friday I was there, but I'm glad I went! read more

Came for lunch and loved every second of it! It was full on a weekend for lunch, so make reservations if you can. The noodles were flavorful and delicious - not oily or dry and had way more veggies in the dish that I was so happy about! The real star was Paul - he is the kindest and most sweet person that works there. He went out of his way to offer different ways to split our bill, came prepared with boxes for takeout, and has the best energy (give him a raise and everything he asks for!!). Will definitely be back and hope we get to see Paul again sometime soon read more

My ride or die for amazing Thai food, been a huge supporter since the place was called Thai Pot. My go to drunken noodle and Thai fried rice are always consistently authentic, just like how they make it in Bangkok, and the Thai ice tea always hits the spot (not too milky or bland/watered down). I've been to all of the viral/trendy Thai spots in the city or Brooklyn and none can compare to this spot. 1000/10 read more

With an almost perfect rating on Yelp, this was an easy dinner choice for me and my dining companion once we decided on Thai food. We arrived just after opening and had the space to ourselves for the beginning and most of the dining time-- absent many patrons picking up take-out orders. The menu prices were as expected, if not better. We started off with waters and thai iced tea (minus the milk). We quickly decided on the krab ragoon (my FAVE of the night), money bags and sprint rolls. The money bags were good bur paled in comparison to the krab ragoon. I should have stuck with my initial thought and ordered the green curry. My dining companion ordered red curry so I opted for crab fried rice. The red curry was amongst the best I've ever tried-- so flavorful! The crab fried rice was good, not great. Even with a spicier level requested it didn't meet my expectation. Overall a great Thai option with ample seating, nice decor and parking spaces right out front that I would recommend. read more

Visited for dinner today and left so satisfied! Everything we ordered was so good. For a starter we got the crab rangoon. For entrees we ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and the roasted duck curry. The fried rice was pretty standard but the duck curry was out of this world. So flavorful and the portion is more than generous. Served with white rice, it's a perfect combination of sweetness from the curry and so much savory flavor coming from the duck. Our server was the cutest woman, always checking up on us. Even offered Thai iced tea (this was too sweet for our liking but still good). She made our dining experience even better with her positivity and good vibes. Overall highly recommend checking this place out! It's in forest hills and really convenient to take a walk to the shopping strip a few blocks away. They are also offering 20% your bill right now which excludes lunch specials but such a good deal for dinner. Don't miss out! read more

The menu here is straightforward and the restaurant is neat and tidy. The lady that was serving us was sweet and promptly attended to us. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the fact that the food was as super spicy as I requested. I took pad see ew to go for my friend and she is still raving about her meal days later. I strongly suggest visiting this spot in the area if you want fresh, fulfilling food. read more

Rice was extremely mushy and seemed old -- it was supposed to be jasmine rice but I don't think it was. Food was oversalted -- was rather disappointed read more

Who knew? We stumbled upon this place on our way to Trader Joe's. It was a delicious and fortunate stumble. We like Thai restaurants. We live in a Thai neighborhood. We had Pad Thai and Basil fried rice. They came with an extraordinary Yum Yum soup. That's is far from where we live. We will be back. But perhaps the best thing would be to hire a contractor to move them to Jackson Heights? Love this place. The service. read more

Absolutely fantastic Thai restaurant that popped up a couple of weeks ago. If you live in the Rego Park area and have taste buds, give it a go! I have gone several times-- the first time around, me and my friend got the beef drunken noodles and khao soi, which were sooo tasty and well-presented too. This time around I got the spicy pork larb, which tasted very crisp and tangy. Would def recommend, good variety and the price point for all of their dishes is very reasonable. In terms of other factors-- server was pretty nice and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The ambiance is also very relaxing and intimate, with jazz playing in the background. Definitely not a bad place to take a date. read more

This restaurant was a gem of a find. I'd recommend anyone heading out to Forest Hills for any reason (and especially for concert-goers) consider this spot. The food was delicious--we loved everything we had: the thai tea, pad kee mao, and mango sticky rice. The staff were so kind and warm. You can tell that they love this place and take great pride in the experience of their patrons. And the space was cozy! We left full, satisfied, and having received many compliments on our concert outfits. We will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is within a 5 minute walk from Northwell Hospital. There was only one server which made the wait time to order took a little longer. The environment inside is very inviting with soft music and traditional tea light candles. Food on the other hand can be more daring on intensifying Thai spice and seasoning. Too much tamarind sweetness overpowers most of the dishes without balancing acidity and spice. Also, tried the special of the day which was supposedly beef larb but the texture was not there leaving it very hard to chew. read more

Best Thai food in the area. People are nice, service is nice, you can pick up or get delivery. Nice little place.

The dish I ordered (red curry w/roasted duck) was very delicious and tasty. Also ordered the crab Rangoon as an appetizer, but I did like the the cream inside (too sweet in my opinion) . Service was relatively fast and our host was courteous. The atmosphere was also very calm and relaxing. Would definitely stop by again for another meal! read more

Tried this place due to their Doordash deals. Bad mistake. Drunken noodles were bland and tasteless clumps of lasagna noodles. And then rewarded me with Diarhhea the next morning. The name change every couple months should have been a clue! read more

Excellent service and delicious food!! Highly recommend the money bag appetizer and pineapple fried rice!

I am not sure if its some kind of joke or its family members who gave 5 stars to this place.. Unfortunately I would give 2.3 stars. I ordered red curry and it was too watery with almost row shrimps. Tom Kah soup did not taste like I know from some good Thai places and chicken was over- cooked. I am sooo disappointed. I would not recommend. read more

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Tharn! -- I took my family who came to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend today, and we all loved it. It was their first time having Thai-style food and our waitress was wonderful -- she was not only providing great suggestions, but was very attentive and went above and beyond to help my grandmother. I had gone to this spot before when it was Thai Pot and was so happy to see it back with the rebrand. The food was even better than I remember and the new modern sleek design makes the atmosphere feel more open and inviting. I can't wait to come in again! Happy holidays to the entire Tharn crew xo read more
