3.5 Was curious about their lunch buffet special and Khanom Jeen. $18.99 pp. For starters, Chive pancakes, roasted veggies, Pad see ew and papaya salad (spicy!) were all ok. Fish cake and Breaded Chicken were dry. Food trays on warmers but don't think they kept them hot enough, like the fried rice which was cold. Had to ask about the 6 curries - weren't labeled at first. From different regions. Some had proteins like chicken feet, pork, chicken. One was fish but only saw a few pcs of halved fishballs. The peanut curry was slightly sweet and was just the sauce. One was very spicy so just took the veggies and meat. Instructions were finally posted on how to put together the curries with the noodles and toppings, which were set up on the table as well. It was a good tasting. Service was good. Preferred cash payment but accepted credit cards with added 3% fee. Decor was bright with colorful flowers hanging from ceiling etc. Space is not that big. Restroom available. Some street cleaning parking and the rest were metered along Whitney Ave.
Side notes- This is for the outstanding khanom jeen lunch buffet. Also, if you don't like spicy, sour, and bitter flavors, I probably wouldn't recommend this place even though I liked it a lot. Also, some of these dishes rotate occasionally so you might not get the same dishes as me. Anyway, I went to this place a few weekends ago with a couple others for their rather unique lunch buffet serving their take on a Thai dish, Khanom Jeen; a type of rice noodle that is served with a variety of curries. For $18.95, you leave stuffed and the food here is quite authentic with curries/kaeng/gaeng from all the different regions of Thailand along with a couple extra dishes. As said, the various curries here tend to be spicy with some bitterness and some sour flavors so if you're used to primarily Massamun or Panang and other sweeter and less spicy curries, this might not be for you. Said curries also come with several toppings including greens, long beans, bitter gourd, hard boiled eggs, and pickled mustard greens where I liked primarily adding the pickled mustard greens, bitter gourd, and bean sprouts, The rotating curries included the following described the following as a translation (as Thai words don't show up on yelp,) the description, and the region: Nam Ya Kati Pla, fish coconut curry, central- Sweetest of the bunch along with the peanut chili. Had some fish balls inside which added good textures. Nam Ya Pa Dtin Gai, chicken feet curry, northeastern- Chicken feet were surprisingly tender. Nicely spicy with a lot of aromatics as expected being a jungle curry with some vegetables as well. Kaeng Tai Pla, fish entrails, southern- Strongest flavor of the curries with some vegetables to soak up the funk. I recommend a little bit of it if you're not used to it and it worked nicely paired with the other curries such as the nam ngiao. Nam Ngiao Moo On, Burmese style Thai curry with pork ribs, northern- My favorite of the bunch. Super tender pork ribs and some well cooked pig's blood for texture along with a lot of ground meat (presumably pork also.) Had a good mix of spiciness and a bit of sourness. Kaeng Khiao Wan Gai, green curry with chicken, central- My least favorite of the bunch as I'm not the biggest fan of Thai eggplant. Mildest flavor with light herbal flavor. Still fine. Nam Prik Thua Gai, peanut chili sauce with chicken, central- Least filled of the curries in terms of proteins and the sweetest. Was fine with some nuttiness compared to the other curries. Outside of said 6 curries, there was also egg fried rice (nice wok hei,) chicken pad see ew (same nice hei,) an excellent Moo Palo/five-spice pork belly with eggs, a subtle mixed sauteed vegetables which went nicely with the stronger flavored curries, a solid Som Tom/papaya salad with dried shrimp, vermicelli with seafood (didn't try,) vegetable spring rolls, and an excellent take on Kui Chai/fried Chinese chives cake which both had the usual sauces. To drink, there was pandan flavored water and there was also watermelon for dessert. It's hard to complain about a spot serving AYCE rice noodles especially when the flavors are this authentic. Come in with an open mind and prepare for a lot more flavor than usual and you'll have a very good time like we did. Would heavily recommend.
I've been dying to try this Thai buffet, after coming across of of a few of their instagram videos! Their selection is amazing for just $19! A wide array of curries, soups, rice and noodle dishes are available. I also had a Thai iced coffee with my lunch. Food was amazing and authentic. The interior is no frills, clean and cozy. Service was extremely friendly. Looking forward to bringing my family and friends back!
My friends and I came here for AYCE and there were three options to choose from -- premium ($49.99), ultimate ($89.99), and supreme ($129.99). We opted for their ultimate and were able to select an item each from the supreme menu. We selected various lobster and wagyu dishes from the supreme menu, which were great. Since this is a made to order place, the food doesn't come out as quickly as other AYCE spots i.e. hotpot places. However, the food is more unique and harder to prepare, so it's understandable. Despite that, our waitress is friendly and attentive. A lot of the dishes were quite spicy, but definitely still doable. My personal favorite were their garlic prawns and spicy raw shrimp salad. It was also nice that dessert and soda were included in the price. We tried one of each dessert and we really enjoyed the coconut gluttonous rice with durian and longan.
This review is for the Lunch buffet only! Positives Affordable lunch buffet Nice selection for the size restaurant Service was decent Negatives The food wasn't hot Because I'm Thai I wish the flavors were more bold, I guess it's ok for the masses but this is my opinion You have to ask for plates and rice. I understand it's a small place and there's no room but that's a negative at a buffet
We came. We saw. We AYCE-ed. Frankly, AYCE Thai was something I never knew I needed until I was presented with an iPad of choice, and now I don't know how to be okay with only getting ONE Kung Chae Nampla when I order it. *Cries in sashimi* Seriously, though, for a city (and nation) obsessed with Thai food, you'd think Na Rath would be a household name in the Big Apple. Then again, if it were, it probably wouldn't be ~$52pp for a two-hour window of eats. While certain items are off-limits and certain items can only be ordered once, that still leaves about 80% of the menu open for repeats and reruns. Here follows a long list of what we got + my $0.02s: - Wing Zaab: Perfectly spiced and crispy - Spice, fish sauce, rice powder, shallots and coriander - SomTum Tad: Just okay, not enough papaya - Raw Spicy Shrimp: Fresh, spicy and most of all....UNLIMITED. I still like Somtum Der's best, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to eating at least 3 plates of these--all by myself - Raw Oyster Salad: Nothing beats Chalong Thai's, but this is a worthy contender. - Crispy Catfish with Mango Salad: More crispy batter with mango because there was very little fish. Still tasty. - Tom Yum Kung, Clear: Lovely and rejuvenating for cold nights - Steamed Red Tilapia with Lime and Garlic: Tender and flavorful - Duck with Kaeng Phed: Very rich and hearty, with perfectly cooked meat - Stir-Fried Squid with Egg Yolk: I don't like egg yolk, so this was just okay for me, but yolk lovers loved it - Crab Meat Thai Omelette: Not enough crab - Crab Fried Rice: Fluffy and savory, but not enough crab - Kana Moo Grob: Not enough pork pieces (like two for the whole dish), though they were cooked well - Phak Boong Fai Daeng: Very well done. It's easy to overcook morning glory, but this was the perfect balance of softened and crispy - Shrimp cake: Lovely batter and nice shrimpy filling - Crab roll: Bad. Probably the worst thing we got. No discernible crab meat and very little flavor. - Pad See Ew: For the picky eaters in your group who don't like adventure--this is everything you expect it to be and nothing more - Mango Sticky Rice: Sadly terrible. The sticky rice was not properly defrosted, so it was impossible to eat. The mango was very juicy and sweet, but without the rice, it was basically just eating grocery-sliced fruit on a bed of grains. - Taro Custard: An interesting concoction of starchy creme topped with...fried onions? Not my ideal flavor combo, but some people would think this was just peaches
How is this spot not known to everyone? Unlimited made-to-order Thai and sushi for as low as $50/person is a steal. It's not a buffet so the food is freshly made and not sitting around at a hot bar. I came here with my fiancee for dinner and made sure we were hungry! For drinks, I got Lychee Thai Iced Tea, which was alright. My fiancee ordered the Thai Iced Tea, which I liked better as they put a scoop of ice cream, enhancing the flavor of the drink. Below are some of the highlights that I tried and highly recommend: Raw Shrimp Sashimi w Spicy Fish Sauce - May be the first time I've had shrimp raw (didn't know you could eat shrimp raw) and the sauce it's marinated in was delicious. Raw Salmon Spicy Salad - If you love salmon as a sashimi or in sushi, you'll certainly love this dish. Crab Fried Rice - I took a risk here knowing crabs will fill us up fast, but this was delicious and hard to pass on. Panang Curry - Love a good Panang Curry dish, mainly because the curry is delicious. Take some of this and pour it on the Crab Fried Rice to make it epic.
All you can eat Thai and sushi for 49.99 per person for dinner. Definitely a steal. Make sure to make reservations. The place is cute with lovely flowers everywhere. My fav: Sashimi Crying Tiger Crab Tom kha Kai
First when I hear about All you can eat Thai food and Sushi, it sounds interesting and how good it will be to have both of my favorite food. The restaurant has three options for AYCE, $49.99, $89.99 and $129.99 per person. My suggestion is no matter what you should stick with the lowest price because if you can't finish your dish, they will charge you by each dish that you have left. I went for $89.99, and I don't think it is worth of money even though the potion is big but because of that, for less people in the party the food fills you up easily and you can't order too many dishes. The reason why I pick this option because of Lobster and wagyu but both of them didn't meet my expectations. - Lobster was too dried - Wagyu quality wasn't that great. - Oyster has some smell, not really fresh - Sashimi only have tuna and salmon and also not that great - Shrimp cake is only one I like Service is part good part unclear. Performance during food serving was good and polite toward the end, that when my bill came, and the server added a gratuity for a party of 2. I was wondering if it is normal to add tip to such a small party. Most of restaurant I went if they would put a gratuity to the bill, it will be a party of 5-6 up or the server has terrible judgments and ignorant enough to do that to a customer. I have no idea. Overall, this place is good for a big party (as I saw some of my friends are in their customer presentation who visited the restaurant) Thai food is good as standard, but sushi isn't great as advertised. Like I said from the beginning, the idea of having Thai food + Sushi AYCE was very interesting but if the price and the quality plus the location are invert, the business might not survive.
Located far from the city, and even a bit far from Flushing, Na Rath is the first AYCE* Thai place that I've ever been to. While they advertise you only have 90 minutes, it seems like as long as their isn't anyone waiting behind you, you can eat for as long as you like. What's strange to me was that even on a weekend night, there really wasn't a wait even though there weren't that many tables. There are two AYCE options, the $39.99 and $49.99 option. The more expensive option includes the starred options, which were fancier items. I would recommend, if you have the appetite, to get the more expensive AYCE option. You ordered which dishes you wanted to eat and they made it fresh; some of my favorites included the crab omelette and the raw salmon dishes. While fresh was nice, some dishes took an incredible amount of time to the point where we felt like we were just waiting for too long. Things to note: * Checking in on Yelp gets you a free non-alcoholic drink * Writing a Yelp review gets you 5% off your order
We tried this AYCE thai and sushi restaurant in Elmhurst and all the menu items were so yummy!! They have two AYCE options, $39.99 and $49.99. I would recommend the $49.99 as you get all the premium dishes as well. The service was friendly and fast and all the dishes were made to order (best kind of buffet in my opinion)!!
For me, The food is great and very fresh. The restaurant is clean, and the service is excellent. They offer a buffet for $39 with a wide variety of options, including noodles, papaya salad, fish, and many more dishes. Definitely worth it!
I'm back at one of my favorite Thai spot and they've seriously leveled up with their brand new menu! For just $39.99, you get your choice of an appetizer, salad or sushi roll, plus soup, an entrée, and dessert. It's an incredible deal for the variety and quality you get--and the portions are HUGE (definitely shareable!) Upgrade to a Chef's Specials for just $15 more--and trust me, it's worth it. Everything is beautifully presented, packed with flavor, and made fresh to order. Happy Hour Meal, only $11.95 and $1 Congee Whether you're a Thai food lover or just love a good deal, this new menu is seriously worth checking out!

Although a Thai menu with AYCE sounds super engrossing, it was mediocre at best and not worth the AYCE price for me and my two friends. However, service was very friendly and quick. But the food quality was just not good. DEFINITELY skip on the sushi/sashimi. Not that it wasn't fresh but it was definitely not the best quality and tasted pretty questionable. The best things we had on the AYCE menu were the pork skewers, french fries, and boat egg noodles. Everything else was pretty subpar for a Thai restaurant. Would rather pay that $$ at a non AYCE restaurant. read more

This spot is perfect for enjoying a variety of dishes at a great price. You can choose between à la carte or ayce- we went for the AYCE option, and it was fantastic! The menu offers everything from sushi to classic Thai dishes, and every bite was a win. My top picks are the grilled garlic prawns, crab meat with curry sauce, red curry, and khao soi. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Food are okay for the most part but on the salty side. The restaurant is fairly small and many customers come for all you can eat. It took a long time for half of the food to be come out. We had orders that came out from the first order sheet. We reordered on the second sheet but still never got them. We finally decided not to wait and just took the check. Sushi was lukewarm and slimy. Just FYI. If you want to get the 5% off from the total amount of the AYCE bill, every single one of the party has to post a review. Only the ones who post a review receive the 5% discount for themselves. read more
I love their Thai dishes here. We tried the a la carte option since we didn't have enough space to go for all you can eat. I think their expertise in Thai cuisine stands out but the sushi rolls are quite mediocre (avocado was not ripe enough in our roll). I wouldn't order sushi next time. Price is fair for the delicious Thai food. I really like the moo ping and crab dish. Coconut chiffon cake was ok- I was hoping for coconut crepe cake but they ran out. Service was good but I wish they had explained first what each option entails. read more

We came to Na Rath in Dec 2024 to try their AYCE. The restaurant is small, but beautifully decorated. Unfortunately, since the hype (a few months prior) the prices have jumped up a significant amount in which the cheaper buffet option is $49.99 rather than $39.99. They give you their regular menu to look at in cause you want to order there, but for buffet you are given a sheet of paper to fill out. Each dish is cooked to order, and you can't order a second round until everything you ordered had come out. Server was really nice and informed us to let her know if there was anything wrong with the dish so they can make adjustments. There was one curry dish that we had to send back because the potatoes were only half cooked. There were some good dishes, such as the oyster salad and pad krapow. But also, many dishes that were just okay or I personally did not enjoy. I was not a fan or the sashimi, and found the mackerel especially fishy. Overall, it was interesting to try. read more

This restaurant is rude and full of arrogance. it would be one thing if the quality and taste of their food is worth but it is absolutely salty and disgusting. They don't like honest reviews so will respond to you in a very condescending way even if you just point out two issues out of the entire experience. They signed up for a service through Swayze, didn't train their staff about it and wouldn't honor the discount which brought me to their restaurant in the first place, asked me to come back and spend more money after being rude to me about their review. I did get angry at their behavior and posted a 1 star on Google review because they acted in such a disgusting manner and I put a dispute on my cc to get back my tip amount since they refused my discount and harassed me over a normal review. Then they responded to me and LIED out of their asses about it. They said I have 3 kids and I was cheating them but ordering a la carte and a premium 3 course to share it with them. I have 2 kids and a husband and no issue spending $ but they are picky eaters and only eat their specific known favorites. But how disgusting of them to police the food I order and pay with my money. Do you want to come to a restaurant like this? Imagine shaming someone for feeding their kids however they could afford it. When I signed and paid the bill, I had no intention of disputing the charge or coming back to the restaurant or even leaving a review. It only escalated because of how much they harassed me after my post. read more

The food was decent overall. The coconut rice had more of a WOW factor. The shrimp didn't have that much flavor but the pork was very flavorful especially with the sauce. The service was normal nothing too special. The menu is all on an iPad and it's just a pdf file or a picture. The place did have a lot of flies flying around unfortunately but other than that the space was fine read more

This restaurant had some absolutely delicious food, and a huge menu to choose from! There are two All you can eat menu options to choose from, one for $39 and the other $49 (excludes the items in the top box of the menu - pictured below) The food came out super quick, the service was great! Our waiter provided a ton of suggested items to try. The space is small and quaint, if you order BBQ they will set up a table outside for you as the smoke will quickly fill up the indoor space. What I ate Seaweed Salad and a Seaweed Salad Sushi roll Grilled Garlic Prawns Shrimp Cakes Sticky Wings Shrimp Mango Sushi Roll Crab Meat with Black Pepper Sauce !!! Thisss was my absolute favorite bite of the night !!! Seafood Hor Mok served in a coconut... this had a similar taste to Massaman curry its made with Coconut milk and Coconut water read more

we came here on a Wednesday night and got the $50 ayce option. the food was surprisingly ALL good. I LOVE the fact it's made fresh as you order. although everything was pretty good, my personal favorite was the raw shrimp salad, grilled pork jowl, crab fried rice, and the shrimp cakes when I tell you I was stuffed but still wanted more.... and their menu is soooo big, the price is definitely well worth it for the options you get. sad to know their ayce ends xmas eve but I'd definitely come back! I'm actually going back right now read more

Great food and great service!!! Unfortunately they don't have the $40 option without Specialties anymore, only $54.99 with ONE specialty dish per person. We came as a party of 6 and got the fish with mango salad, salmon teriyaki, two tiger prawn, crab omelette, and crab with black pepper sauce. I recommend the fish with mango salad and tiger prawn (come in 4 pieces). The salmon salad and steak was also great! Dessert is included in the buffet (except crepe cake) but not drinks! read more

Na Rath was really such a great dining experience. I loved the All You Can Eat Thai Sushi Seafood and Barbecue and it's all prepared fresh as you order it. Everything on the menu was delicious , and restaurant provided great attentive service. Prices Started at 39.99 for the adult all you can eat and at 49.99 it included specialty menu items as well. There is also kids pricing where kids 8 and up eat for half the adult price. The mock-tails were also very delicious and they come in many flavors , My favorite was the mojito . Here's what I had from the menu : Sticky Wings Fried Shrimp Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce Chicken Teriyaki Basil Chicken California Rolls Avocado Roll Drinks (Mocktails) Pink Soda Margarita This is definitely a delicious hidden gem in New York City , If you're looking to sit down for a nice filling lunch or dinner in a nice atmosphere I would definitely recommend Na Rath. read more

Na Rath recently opened up in Elmhurst Queens and they serve every Thai dish you could ever think of! They offer 3 tiers of AYCE starting at $40. My friends and I went with the lowest tier and thought it was a great value and offered a ton of options! Some of my favorites were: seafood tom yum kong with GIANT shrimp. It was the perfect amount of spicy, plenty of seafood and not oily like most tom yum pah salmon (raw salmon in a spicy herbal salad). It was in a sour sauce with plenty of herbs and I would literally drink the sauce if I could seafood hor mok (seafood curry served in a coconut shell). The seafood tasted delicious when eaten with some of the coconut scooped out and had a ton of seafood wing zaab (fried chicken wings). They tasted similar to a tom yum seasoning with a little sourness nur yang steak with a spicy tamarind sauce. The tamarind sauce SLAPPED moo ping Thai bbq pork. The pork was super tender and the sauce was Everything tasted extremely high quality and I didn't feel gross at the end like I do after most AYCE experiences. I spoke with the owner Ryan and he's super passionate about what he's doing and he even added on 2 whole fish for my table to enjoy even though that would've only been available for the middle and high tiers . The grand opening is on April 27th so check them out! When I went, I was only one of two other tables so tell all your friends and let's get this place the business it deserves!

Good food, lots of options for food. The all you can eat is fun, but you will have to wait a bit for your food. It took quite some time for all our items to come, and some items were forgotten the first go around. Food was a bit salty for my personal taste, but was overall tasty. The staff was very friendly though and accommodating. Recommend the crab roll, garlic shrimp and drunken noodle! Also, drinks and desserts are not part of the AYCE price. However, they had a lot on their drink menu -- and their Thai Iced Tea had ice cream in it! It was very delicious! read more

Wow, what a great time at Na Rath. They do something that a lot of AYCE places don't do, they portion the food for your table. We ordered a TON of variety of food, and they portioned it for us appropriately. We had a great time. The drinks were delicious. The owner was great to talk to, and we will definitely be coming back! Our favorite dish of the night was the fried fish. It was so well presented and well fried. HUGE fan of this place! read more
