I found this spot as I was looking for a Thai restaurant in Hicksville and it had great reviews. Google was saying that reservations were recommended but the times my friend and I tried calling (the day before), no one ever picked up so my friend and I just showed up on a Thursday afternoon hoping reservations weren't needed. By the way, their website does not work. Anyway, we ended up being the only people eating in for the 2 hours that we were there. I don't know if they weren't busy because it was a weekday and gloomy weather outside but our server was very friendly/sweet/welcoming and we were both happy with our meals and drinks! There is a small free parking lot behind the restaurant. I almost missed the entrance to the lot but it's literally right next to the restaurant, which is a small cute looking stand alone house. There were tables out front but the day we went it was a little chilly/rainy so we opted to sit inside. There were a few tables inside and even a small bar so we just sat in a booth. The overall decor inside was very cute! There's also a bathroom in the back. I ordered the Lunch Special: Pad See Ew with Shrimp and a Thai Iced Tea. I forgot what my friend ordered but she really liked it and said it had a home-cooked meal feel to it which was a positive thing. My food was also delicious though a bit on the smaller portion size and it came with a small salad (you can choose the salad or Tom Yum Soup) and a small spring roll. The Lunch Special Menu is only available Monday to Friday 11:30AM-3:00PM except holidays. I had a great time catching up with my friend while enjoying a delicious meal/drink and would definitely be returning soon! read more

Pavirin Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Hicksville, New York

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken, and the chicken was clearly undercooked--raw and crunchy. I informed the waitress, who acknowledged the issue, took my plate, and brought me a replacement. Unfortunately, the second dish also contained multiple pieces of raw chicken. When I pointed it out again, the waitress insisted it wasn't raw. I told her that I cook regularly and know what undercooked chicken looks and feels like. Despite serving me two dishes with raw chicken, no one offered to replace the meal with something else or remove it from the bill. When I asked for the dish to be taken off, I was told they couldn't do that. I then asked to speak with the manager or owner, and the waitress told me the owner refused to come out and speak with me. Serving undercooked chicken is a serious food safety issue, but the lack of customer service was just as disappointing. An owner who won't even speak to a customer after such an experience clearly doesn't value their patrons. I won't be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

Dinner out with the kids in Hicksville. We found Pavirin Thai Bistro on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Ambience - very cozy atmosphere walking up to the restaurant. Looks like an ideal place for Friday night date nights. Food - we ordered: Crispy Duck Salad - the lime flavor of the salad was good for those who like citrus with their greens, but the duck was a little underwhelming. It was sliced into small pieces and was not crispy. 3/5 Roti Massaman - flat bread with chicken curry dip. Yummy 4/5 Beef with Red Curry - the beef was a little tough and chewy. Could have benefitted from some more seasoning and tenderization. 3/5 Chicken with Cashew - oversalted. Take it easy on the soy sauce. 2/5 TL/DR: although Pavirin does well with the ambience and friendly service, the food quality is inconsistent. read more

This is a cute place and the food is good and artistically presented, and we had been going about once a week. However, we had pretty bad experience two weeks ago and haven't gone back. We got there at 9 and asked if we were too late. The waiter said no the restaurant closes at 9:30 and directed us to a table. We ordered and our food came at 9:20 and the waiter turned on the bright lights. We ate quickly, but the waiter came over frequently taking things and making it clear that he wanted us out. It was very uncomfortable and I gulped down the food and we were out by 9:35. Really ruined our evening. he just shouldn't have seated us. We would have understood and been fine with that. read more

Ambiance was good, tiny mom and pop shop. Love going to mom and pop shops but both the food and service wasn't good. I got the wings and it wasn't cook properly. Pai Thai was horrible. Service was slow. read more

The food was very good. We started off with curry puff. Then I had Thai fried rice with pork. For dessert we split chocolate lava cake with ice cream. The service was good. The restaurant is very cute inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I think the only thing we got which was good was the drunken noodles. The other tables near us also ordered pad Thai and pad see euw which looked good. The roti masaman is a hard no - they don't give you enough roti and the sauce was basically exactly the same as the khao soy noodles. The flavor of the chicken satay was lackluster. We got the fish tilapia special which was also okay but not what we expected - it came with filets instead of frying the whole fish. The space looked really cute though expect to be there for a while because there was literally one server running the entire restaurant. read more

You come here if you are with a date. The decor is well thought out. It's a small little place next to ihop. Parking lot is small, they have outdoor seating but since it's winter, no one sat outside. It's dimly lit inside. Food menu is quite extensive, typical Thai food menu. The food was acceptable but like I said you come here for the ambiance. We tried pad sew; pad Thai, fried rice, and the pick three appetizer combo. Prices a bit on the higher end. read more

Chef Q is incredible and Natty my server was the sweetest as well. I really enjoyed my whole experience and I'll definitely be back for more !!! read more

The mains are good and standard but pass on the appetizers. We got a sampler with shrimp rolls, curry puffs, and chicken dumplings. The dumplings were unseasoned shumai, the curry ouffs were tasty but nothing worth the cost, and the shrimp rolls were literally shrimp in a friend roll rather than a spring roll. The pinapple fried rice was a hit. Panang curry was good. Pad thai noodles were tasty too and not too oily or soggy. Drinks are fun - tried a lychee spritz which was refreshing. read more

3.5 stars... nothing objectionable other than the odd spiritual country religious type music, but not somewhere that I would return to or recommend. I identified what makes these small mom and pop places seem to have a lack of charm and it's the hotel conference room type shellacked dark wood furniture. If this setting had some cute, trendy colorful distressed wooden tables and chairs and some funky tin floral tableware, and some Thai style music, it wouldn't look and feel so bland. The music was a killer & a deal breaker. As was the 3.99 credit card fee. read more

Very small Thai restaurant, excellent staff and pretty good food. There are a limited amount of tables, cute decor and parking in the back. We tried appetizers and the pad Thai, both pretty good. read more

The food here was genuinely very good and we enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. However, what happened with the billing was completely unacceptable. We were a party of 5 but were charged a service/transaction fee as if we were a party of 6, and we were never informed about this upcharge at any point before or during payment. On top of that, we also tipped in addition to these fees. We only discovered all of this after we got home and reviewed the receipt more carefully. When we later called the restaurant to ask for clarification, we were told the fees were applied because we are Chinese. That explanation is deeply upsetting and discriminatory. Charging customers extra based on ethnicity is unacceptable. Failing to clearly disclose fees and overcharging the party size only makes the situation worse. A restaurant cannot treat customers this way and expect them to return, regardless of how good the food is. I hope management takes this seriously and makes immediate changes. read more

Pavirin is fairly new to Hicksville, having opened since January 2025. As others may have said, it kind of feels like a hole in the wall type of restaurant from Jackson Heights. We felt the same way, in the best possible way. It wouldn't be the best spot for a business meeting but good enough for a family night out. The menu is pretty extensive with a good selection of appetizers, standard entrees at most Thai restaurants, and mango sticky rice for dessert. 1) We got the appetizer trio (choose 3 apps for $25) and they were pretty solid. 2) We got an entree each: my masala curry (tasty but I'll try another curry next time); the tofu drunken noodle (spicy); the pineapple fried rice (served in a pineapple shaped bowl, its really good); and then the cilantro beef stir fry that's on the separate menu (also a bit spicy). Note that their spice level is legit and those dishes are noted on the menu with a chili, so please do ask for a milder/moderate option if you're not great at handling spice. 3) get their mango sticky rice - it's so good. They also have outdoor seating, which would be nice if you plan to enjoy the Sun or plan to bring your dog. read more

The duck salad I ordered was expensive and the plate was so small. They forgot to add the pineapple and cashews. The mama noodle didn't show that it was spicy on the menu, I ordered it and my kids couldn't eat it because it was super spicy. read more

Well, decided to go with a tradition and that was to eat Thai food on Valentines day. Was willing to travel a little distance to try a new restaurant. Was able to place my order over the phone. When I got to the restaurant I could see it had some table and chairs. Was decorated and was very clean and busy. The gentleman who took my order was very busy and when I was watching him he seemed a little overwhelmed. However, my food was baged up nicely and everything I ordered was absolutely fantastic. Another hidden gem. Try it out! read more

Food was okay and the service was very good. I saw someone complain about the music and I didn't find the music overwhelming at all, it was barely noticeable. They put mung beans on the mango sticky rice which was the perfect amount of crunch. I didn't love the tom kha but I never had it before so it could just be a difference in taste palettes. read more

Pavirin Thai Bistro - Thai iced tea - Thai Near Me - Hicksville, New York

We went to Pavirin for the lunch special that came with an entree, an egg roll and a soup or salad. The egg roll and soup were good, was a good start. For the entree, we got a drunken noodle and a basil fried rice. Both were pretty decent and we felt like it could have been better. My tongue yearned more spice and flavor that I am accustomed to with thai food. Service was good. The host was pretty attentive with us. read more

Food is really good and reasonable prices. Only thing that makes it a 4 star is the service was really slow. They really need to hire another person. One person waiting on the whole place is hard. read more

Food and services were on point. Had a great time. Our server Natty was great went out of her way to make our experience the best.

This is such a cute place. The decor is beautiful with so much attention to detail. Service was fabulous. The food tasted authentic. I'd recommend it for a date night. read more

Pavirin is a wonderful Thai restaurant located in Oysterbay NY, and you can take the Lonng Island Railroad and get off at the Hicksville stop, which takes approximately 40 minutes from NYC, and it's just a couple of minutes walking distance. They offer truly authentic Thai cuisine which is very unique. It is full of flavor, well balanced, and is made up of fresh ingredients that really highlights the taste of extraordinary traditional Thai cooking... The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family and the food proportions are more than generous. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always make you feel at home !!! If you are looking for delicious, authentic Thai food in Oyster Bay, Pavirin is definitely the place worth visiting !!! read more

Went to this place for Father's Day. Definitely unimpressed. We asked for the dishes to be very spicy. My wife had the Tum Yum Koon Noodle soup with Shrimp. Bland. I had Green Curry with Chicken. Also bland. My son had a Beef Chef's special. He was also disappointed. My son and I shared the Tum Ka soup which they did make spicy as asked. The portions were generous. The prices were reasonable. The restaurant was clean. Just the flavor was lacking. When we complained about the seasoning we were offered a tiny dish of pepper flakes rather than taking the dishes back to the kitchen. I cook Thai at home using various Thai pastes. I was able to adjust the flavor for the leftovers. I go out to eat to get something better than I can make from a jar. If you are looking for a Thai restaurant and don't like spicy food, this is the place for you. read more

We were excited about trying this place based on other reviews and were fairly disappointed. The basil fried rice has a strong fish oil taste, the chicken satay was dry and bland, and the other two dishes were decent but nothing extraordinary; drunken noddles were decent and green curry was good but too thin/watery. We were also disappointed because the place charged a 4-4.5% credit card fee without giving us a heads up and a surprise like this is never good. We will probably not order here again unless we find no other Thai places nearby. read more

Tried Pavirin Thai Bistro . Lightly fried juicy tofu with delicious dip. Next time I'll order a second container of dip. Chicken soup was quart size with (as noted on menu-seepix) chicken piece's delicious soup with rice noodles. Different than traditional chicken soup with a Thai flavor. 20 plus dollars as is the duck soup. They have other soups listed at near half price. But i must say the soup is good and plentiful. Entering to a small tent like door to building. Located right on Old Country Road next to IHOP. (Used to be a different restaurant and I'm told they opened in January. Ornate plastic flowers,glasses on hook in back near bathroom, tv screen of lovely video of Thai land area. Some pretty BuddhasI I had not thought to ask of specials ( see pix) . Customers told me their Tilapia was very good. My take out order included dessert of 4 little fried bananas and a small cup of honey with the fried covering crisp and not oily. I plan to come back and try other items. read more

Great authentic Thai food at a pretty average price point.The wait can be long but it moves fast and the staff are incredibly friendly. There's not shortage of excellent Thai food in NYC- or even in just Manhattan.- but I'm glad I'm to have all these amazing option. Pineapple fried rice is Fantastic and/ recommend Khao soi Noodle if you haven't had before. The ka prow over rice with sunny-side-up egg is a must. and the duck curry is delicious read more

The food at Pavirin is absolutely delicious. They seem to be a little under staffed and it had no negative impact on our experience whatsoever. The decor is nice, nothing fancy and it certainly doesn't need to be because the food speaks for itself. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough, we will definitely be back. read more

Great little hidden gem. Reminds me of these little hole in the wall places in Queens where you can get authentic food. No frills just good food. Roti was tasty, Whole Fried Red Snapper was cooked to crispy perfection and the crabmeat fried rice had large chunks of crabmeat. BYOB currently but can't wait for their liquor license read more
