Such an authentic experience compared to attending the viral "Michelin" location at Chelsea Market. I was lucky to have no line on a holiday and I enjoyed hearing the Thai music and seeing all the delicious food and snacks I could order. I grabbed a Thai iced tea, grilled salmon over rice and a pudding on top of mango sticky rice. It's cash only and the entire store was welcoming and kind. They have a specific system to follow with green tickets. I really don't want to lose all of these local mom and pop stores that make Queens special. Mango sticky rice was great I enjoy the moong dal topping for the crunch factor. Sticky rice had a nice coconut flavor. Mango was ripe and in season. Felt like got a tiny trip to Thailand. read more

I've been wanting to come here for awhile after this place blew up on Instagram so I was super excited to try their mango sticky rice. You can pay in either cash or Zelle and you order up in the back to get a ticket before you obtain your mango sticky rice. The dessert itself was absolutely delicious as the mango was super sweet which went really well with the coconut-flavored filled rice. I think this is one of the best iterations of the dish I've had in NYC as the coconut flavor was very evident throughout. Other than the stick rice, the grocery store also carries a lot of fresh food that you can bring home as well as Thai desserts. We tried a pandan cake and I thought it was pretty good although I wish the pandan flavor was even more evident. I will definitely be back to try more of their other foods especially their soups which are hiding in the back of the store! read more

Thought I wrote a review already, not sure where it went. Used to go to Pata Market when it was twice the size and previously called Sugar Club (and maybe another business name / combo business before that). Before craigslist, the bulletin board at this market was THE resource for Thai folks. The market used to have café menu with desserts and drinks, alongside the grocery section at one point there were also kids toys in the corner and really liked the welcoming atmosphere. It's still welcoming and feels very family run even though the business is a quarter of the previous size. They have a good amount of dry goods, sauces, frozen sausages, snacks, some pharmacy products (menthol products where r u?), daily rotating, prepared foods, desserts, and even small cups of Thai tea or durian ice cream. - and YES the viral Mango Sticky Rice ($12) is viral for a reason. Just note that mangoes are in season April - May pay for it at the counter and grab a ticket for a pick up at the front where there's no less than two staff members chopping mangoes all day! Another staff number bringing out steamed sticky rice mix in coconut sauce mixture from the back. All the components are fresh and let the sweep ripeness of the mango shine - the Salted Coconut Sauce goes ONLY on the rice. NOT the mango says Thai friend. The market was really busy on a Friday evening in May - and all different types of people, multi-generational. Local & those influenced LOL. People were also ordering the from the small dessert/drink menu, the staff seemed a little bit overwhelmed. The Prepared Foods! High-quality, extremely varied mix of festival, meat, and vegetarian dishes. You'll find ground basil pork & rice, curry, noodle bowls, grilled lemongrass skewers and sticky rice, lettuce wraps, summer rolls. Items are around $15 or under. Every time I've gone, I see a lot come in and pick up a few packages. You can also get all the ingredients at this market to make those same dishes - but why not try those dishes first as a baseline. LOL The desserts! There's just as much variety in the refrigerator with the prepared desserts - many with coconut cream, tapioca flour, taro, pandan, banana, and yes - corn. I'm not familiar with a lot of the desserts, but I haven't been too disappointed with anything that I've picked up. Just know that tapioca flour and coconut are usually main ingredients. There might've been some tapioca cakes with salted coconut cream tops - which I wasn't a huge fan of the salt/sugar combination. The market is just 2 blocks from the R/Broadway Elmhurst station. Close to Elmhurst Hospital. You can grab a seat at the nearby park & enjoy your sticky rice. There's always been MTA grate construction in front of this market, there isn't much space to stand out front fyi. read more

Yes, there are a lot of items sold at Pata Market, and throughout the year I'd advise anyone to try them. However, spring means ripe mangoes, and that means there is no better place in the city for mango sticky rice. The service is fantastic. You pay at the counter in the back of the shop, get a ticket (one for each mango sticky rice that you buy) and exchange it in the front of the store. They crank these deserts out, so you're not going to wait long. The shop is clean and bright, but there aren't any tables, so you'll be doing what everyone else is doing: eating in your car, on the sidewalk, in the park down the block, or asking for a set with the rice cold so that you can heat it up later. You'll be happy regardless of your choice because the flavors, textures, cold/hot, and sweet/salty balance of this dish is incredible. Like I said, the other items are great, but in the spring and summer you (and half of the neighborhood) are really here for this. And you'll be back. read more

Food 5/5 Value 5/5 Amazing Thai grocery store that also offers incredible grab and go Thai desserts and savory dishes! Mango Sticky Rice ($12): Simply amazing! The added crispy rice provided a perfect, unexpected crunch that paired rly well with the fresh mango and rich coconut cream Chicken Basil over Rice ($10): Another delicious dish. The chicken was flavorful, not dry at all, and packed a great, authentic Thai spice kick. Incredible quality and value read more

The mango sticky rice at Pata Market has been all over my feed and I finally tried it and yes, the hype is real! The mango was honestly one of the juiciest I've ever tasted, beautifully ripe and sweet. Paired with sticky rice drenched in their creamy coconut milk and topped with rice krispies for a little crunch, it's a simple combination that just works so well together. read more

Friendly service and delicious food. Pata market is an authentic Thai market that sells Thai food and specialty Thai products. The Thai sticky rice with mango and condensed milk and sprinkles of toasted rice was amazing. Mango was ripe and juicy. Perfect amount of sweetness for $12. You pay in the back and pick up in the front. I also brought banana with sticky rice and it came with coconut sugar for $5.50. It was ok. The banana wasn't ripe. read more

My friend lives in the neighborhood and recommended this Thai grocery store. She really liked a pumpkin custard she got there, but also the Thai pancake dessert. They didn't have the pumpkin custard, but I did grab the Thai pancake dessert with pandan and egg yolks. It was soooooo good. I would definitely come back here to get that again and try other things because there's so many other yummy looking things to try. It is cash only so prepare accordingly. read more

Came here from Manhattan strictly for the mango sticky rice which exceeded my expectations. Well worth the trip and so delicious that we got 2 to take home. On a rainy Saturday there was no wait, you pay in cash at the back and get a ticket to pick up at the front. Servings are made fresh daily with the ripest mangoes and last for about a day. Definitely will be returning here every time I happen to be in the neighborhood for delicious eats. read more

Walked past this store and saw them making the mango sticky rice. It was $12 and the place prefers cash for payment. The mango was super fresh. The rice was a little dry/hard but that might have been my fault for not heating it up before eating it. One of the best mango sticky rice i have had in NY but also the most expensive. read more

Came to Pata market after it popped up on my Instagram feed. It's a cozy spot featuring various items you can only get from Thailand. I came for the mango sticky rice. It wasn't the best. I personally think it needed more condensed milk, the mango was nice and sweet. My husband really enjoyed it. Also tried the Roti with condensed milk reminded me of a sugar bread. My favorite was from the grab and go hot meal section. I got the pork sewers with sticky rice. The flavor on the sewers was seasoned well and it was a nice portion for $10. Also, the location only accepts cash or Zelle. Overall cute spot to explore Thai bites. read more

The mango sticky rice is insanely yum! Step inside the market and head straight to the back to pay. You will be given a ticket to pick up your mango sticky rice by the entrance. It was so good that I wish I purchased two orders! They only accept cash or zelle so stop by the ATM beforehand. read more

This little Thai market has been open for about 6-7 years now, surprisingly only 28 reviews on Yelp! They carry a variety of Thai food products, ranging from frozen seafood and meat products, canned and packaged dry foods and drinks, minimal fresh produce, and a lot of fresh prepared and refrigerated entrees, snacks and desserts. They pack a ton into a small space! Walking into the store immediately to the left you see a table of take/out style foods, noodles and rice, different proteins, and desserts. Along the right wall is a small refrigerator and freezer with mostly drinks and sweets. I love that they carry desserts featuring SE Asian flavors of pandan, jackfruit, mango, ube, and durian (if you're into this). My last visit I grabbed peanut dumplings $6.50 served with sprigs of cilantro and a finely pulverized dried garlic bits--an interesting balance of savory rice and pea flour dumpling skin and sweet crushed peanut and sugar filling! Also got a Thai jade jelly sweet $5.00 with fresh grated coconut meat on top--this one had a jiggly consistency kinda like a firm jello. Both were delicious, not too sweet, and I would highly recommend. Checkout counter is at the back of the store and they are cash only. Note that the fresh food should be eaten right away within a day as it will go bad (it is fresh food after all), though glad to see there's not preservatives added. I'm excited to go back to try many other items! read more

I came to Patan to pick up some dried seafood for a friend who loves this kind of stuff -- dried fish, squid, etc. Who knew they had so much variety! Just a heads up: they are cash only, but they also accept Zelle, which was convenient. No one really came over to help while I was looking around, and since I couldn't read most of the labels, I just went by the pictures on the packaging. That worked out fine, but it would've been nice if someone offered a little guidance. Overall, a good spot if you know what you're looking for. My friend was happy with what I had brought back. read more

Walked into Pata Market thinking I'd just browse... walked out like I raided a Thai grandma's kitchen. Place is small but loaded with the good stuff. Grabbed the pork basil--pork, chili, basil, fish sauce, sugar, some mystery seasoning that must be sorcery... every bite hit like a roundhouse kick of flavor. Then came the grilled chicken with sticky rice--marinated with sesame oil, honey, black pepper, turmeric... bro, this wasn't dinner, it was a spiritual awakening. Served with sticky rice that could glue your soul together. Queens never misses. If you know, you know. #Instagram #foodieinthebigapple2025 read more

Wow the variety of this place was insane! It had your sweet desserts, savory foods, snacks, you name it. I grabbed a couple of items to try and enjoyed all of it! I will definitely be back to try other items - especially their premade foods like Pad Thai. Now, I cannot say that I knew what everything was being that this was the first Thai market I have ever been to however, I grabbed a bunch of interesting looking things. A couple of highlight was the jelly drink. I first assumed it was just jelly but they gave me a straw from it and I was pleasantly supposed. It was like drinking a jelly that was set but not too firm! I would definitely get it again. The durian ice cream was only $3! It tasted like a durian ice cream with a coconut milk base which I enjoyed because I think the durian and coconut complimented each other really well. And lastly, the green tea was sooo good! It was nicely sweet with a pungent green tea flavor and a nice minty finish. I did not really enjoy the Luk chup but then again, I just grabbed it because it looked interesting and not because I knew what it should taste like. I think I was only disappointed because all of the flavors were the same and the exterior jelly texture did not sit well with the bean interior. That being said, the ingredients are listed on the container and I definitely think it's worth a try if you're interested. The cashiers are very patient while customers are looking around and very quick with the checkout as well which I appreciates. Just a fair warning that it is cash only. I will be picking up more items to try the next time I'm in Elmhurst! read more

Desserts were awesome, very tasty especially the mango sticky rice. It was made fresh as you waited.

Great little Thai market that has snacks as week as some ready made Thai meal. I love their Thai green papaya salad, I did the sauce a little sweet and usually add some lime juice at home and it's perfect. I also try their prepared food and for the price point, it's quite good. Favorite has has been the pork skewers with sticky rice. Will be back to try their dessert next, they didn't have mango sticky rice when I went but I saw that other reviewers had it. read more

**CASH ONLY** Stopped in here to try the famed mango sticky rice, but ended up spending a good amount of time browsing all of the Thai specialties. This is a well-stocked market with both pantry and fresh food items, plus several refrigerated cases of meats, desserts (pandan heaven!) and more. Mango sticky rice with black rice was flawless - no notes. read more

Came here to try the claim to Thai desserts available and was pleasantly surprised. However, some items were better than others, and I think I would stick to the role, pandan pancakes, and the kuih. Rolled pandan pancakes were really soft and delightful. There's a light pandan flavor at the center of these really nice textured and soft crêpes, and is satisfying to chew. None of these desserts were too sweet, so they are the perfect sweet moment for an Asian palate. The Kuih is my favorite and was delightfully gelatinous, bouncy, chewy, and had a nice fragrant panDan and coconut flavor. We would come back just to get this. The taro gems were good, the inside has a pasty ground taro texture, and had a bit of density to them. If you like taro you will enjoy these. We also got these blue rice skin desserts that I can't remember the name of and it came with a package of salt, sugar, sesame seeds to pour over the top. Don't be afraid to use all of this, because by itself it actually is quite bland. It won't be too sweet I promise. However, the texture of the blue cakes themselves left a little to be desired, and where it is chewy as I was hoping. Overall, we come back in the summer when they have their mango sticky rice and we come back anytime for the Kuih. read more

This tiny Thai market has many authentic Thai ingredients and snacks along with freshly made desserts, homemade ice cream, drinks, and pre-prepared meals. I've visited many times to window shop and just recently bought 2 of their packed meals for a quick and cheap dinner. The prices are great ($10-13) and the portions are sizable. They have summer rolls, rice and meat boxes, and dumplings. I tried their garlic minced pork and squid box with rice and found it to be delicious! The pork and squid had excellent flavor and the squid actually tasted the way it should, lacking that rubbery texture that frozen squid acquires. I wanted to get dessert too but I was so overwhelmed by all the Kuih, pancake, and jelly desserts that I decided to save it for my next visit. I got a passion fruit slush instead. It was very sweet, but still enjoyable. This is a great spot to get some homemade, authentic Thai foods and desserts at a very affordable price! read more

I like this small market and to be honest, I only really noticed it because I frequent another store next door. It's a Thai themed market and pretty much have everything you could think of Thai wise. They have fresh and hot food pre packed. Not sure if its the same owner's but the food comes from a Thai restaurant not too far from me. Actually closer than the store. Tons of choices for the pre pared food. They also have alot of seasoning stuff and condiments and snacks etc. The staff here are all very nice too. Just remember to bring cash though. I will be back for sure. read more

This tiny little Thai market serves a bunch of snacks and desserts along with some fresh durian (the actual good stuff) and a variety of other things. Their lod chom was a tasty durian (or pandan) dessert and is essentially the Thai version of cendol. The kanom tuay was also tasty being a coconut custard over sticky rice. Another person got the mango over sticky rice and it was delicious as well. Very friendly staff here. I personally think the stuff is a bit cheaper (such as the durian things) at 3 Aunties but this is also quite good. read more

Cash only. Our favorite desserts were coconut ice cream ($4), khanom peakpoon ($4), lodchong singapore ($3.50) in the fridge, and their made to order pandan toast. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out sooner but happened upon it today and freaking loved it. They have a bunch of Thai snack items and groceries but the main attraction is the pre-packed goods, I happened to roll in about 11am to be greeted with new replenishments.....I shopped....hard haha xD A must is everything and anything pandan, which they're loaded with here, trust me you need this in your life. Highly recommend their kuih lapis, tastes super fresh here. They have pandan crepe, pandan pudding, pandan custard buns. In addition to the kuih lapis, we bought their banana sticky rice, mini pandan sticky rice snacks (with roasted mung beans for crunch), chicken crepe dumplings, bbq pork with sticky rice (so good!!!!), basil squid and a few Thai grocery items. The pre-packaged stuff range from $3 (snacks, desserts) to $10 max for meals. The food is cooked fresh (was still warm) but they also have refrigerated meals and goods as well as many items you can request to be made fresh from their menu at the counter. The aunty at the food table was super helpful and recommended a lot of things, which I'm grateful for. There's heaps of desserts in another refrigerator too, frozen or ready to eat. The space is pretty tight, like 'one-way pedestrian' kinda tight so don't come in large groups or with a stroller. I've saw many Thai customers come in while I was their, so I'm going to assume it's pretty legit. Can't wait for my next visit!! :D ~~ read more

This is a market I frequently visit after my meals in Elmhurst. I pick up Thai snacks, desserts and drinks here. I've been so addicted to their pandan jelly dessert that I now make it to Elmhurst just to pick some up. The prices are on the higher end, but everything is pretty good. You can get some pork rinds, mango sticky rice, instant noodles, ice cream, durian, chips, thai iced tea, and the list goes on. Make sure you bring cash though, they don't take credit cards. read more

This is one of my favorite Thai stores to go to. The store has a lot of small Thai snacks in transparent boxes to choose from when you enter the store. The refrigerator towards the front of the store has cold Thai desserts, including ube and pandan. The refrigerators towards the back has FRESH durian for $39 per box. It also has soy milk which is very difficult to find. It's not the typical Vitasoy carton box ones that in every big Asian supermarket. These are the ones that are in tall glass bottles. I'm surprised they carry it and in regular and black in this store. It was such a good find! Thai Mango sticky rice: It was absolutely delicious. It's not a cold dish. The order is made fresh. The sticky rice was so soft. There were bits of rice crackers or something close to that as a topping on the sticky, which gave it a great crunchy texture. It comes with the coconut sauce. The mango is freshly peeled and cut. I loved it. read more

Staff is nice . This place is a bit overpriced and they cash only but mostly you get what you need from Thailand .

I love coming here for Thai cooking staples. I do think Pata is more expensive than other Thai groceries but it depends on what you're getting. They have Thai iced tea mix, palm sugar, spice mixes, Durian Chips (will update when I try them!), prepared foods, snacks, Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, curry pastes, etc. Their fresh prepared food is also delicious: noodles, pork, dumplings, soups, sweet and savory things. I always leave with something new to try. They also have crickets! Frozen crickets, and they are huge. I've never seen crickets so freakin big. And I had never eaten a cricket. I'll eat a lot of things but this was hard for me...but it wasn't too bad. Use salt. A little bit of oil in a skillet, and that's it. Maybe a little hot chili powder. They have other bugs in the cooler section I plan on eating too. I'm coming for you creepy crawlies, I'm comin for ya.... read more

A cute (albeit expensive) Thai deli in Elmhurst that carries an impressive selection of Thai snacks, tea supplies, and other Asian cooking ingredients.

I. rave. about this place. First time here was a fun experience. The people behind the counter were so friendly and glad to help recommend what's good for my palate. The entire store is filled with Thai goodies ranging from fresh pastries, rice lunch boxes, ramen, snacks, to packages sticky rices in the fridge. That mango sticky rice though.. my lord. Maybe we were lucky with the season, but the mango was soft and juicy. Their rice is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sweetness. Creamy from the coconut milk, and a bit crunchy from the toasted sesame layered at the top. They heat up the rice for you too. A bite of their imported mangoes together with the creamy coconut rice will have you coming back for sure. This place- 10/10. End of story read more

Cute tiny supermarket. Bought a box of banana leaf wrapped sticky rice and taro, which ended up not being my cup of tea - too dense / dry. Also got a dessert of pumpkin filled with custard - that was pretty unique but again perhaps not to my tastes (crumbly pumpkin texture to me was odd in contrast to jiggly custard). There's so much to be bought here - lots of prepared food from different vendors, steamed buns by the cashier, and desserts and other in the fridge - that I felt paralyzed by all the choices. Really wish I could have bought everything, but I guess it just means I'll have to go back. read more
