BKNY Thai Restaurant…read more This spot was such a great find! First off... they have parking, which is already a win. The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and has an upscale vibe without feeling stuffy. The service was excellent--everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Now let's talk about the food... Drinks: * Lychee Sangria * Lychee Martini * Thai Iced Tea Every single one was delicious, and the cocktails definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol. We started with the spicy papaya salad, and I loved the bold, tangy flavors. It had just the right amount of heat. My friend ordered the Pad Thai, and I went with the Crab Fried Rice. It was packed with real crab meat, the portion was generous, and every bite was flavorful. Dessert was the perfect ending: fried ice cream and mango mousse cake--both absolutely delicious. Overall, BKNY Thai delivered on the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd come back to!

Outstanding food, service & ambience!…read more The dumpling & curry puff appetizers are a little small but excellent. The spring rolls are relatively larger & also great. The BBQ chicken comes with a very generous portion of lean, delicious chicken with savory dipping sauce & sticky rice. Service is among the best ever: proactive, friendly and helpful. No glass is allowed to run dry. Special requests are fulfilled immediately & accurately. Even the wrapper from the moist towel is promptly removed. We've been here a few times & each is consistently a great experience!

We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while the open panels gave the restaurant a nice indoor-outdoor feel. The food was just as delicious as I remembered. The grilled octopus was excellent, and we shared the stuffed shrimp and chicken souvlaki, both of which were tender, flavorful, and nicely plated with vegetables and potatoes. The drinks were great too. I had a Moscow Mule, and my cousin, a beer enthusiast, really enjoyed his IPA. One of the biggest highlights was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A manager also greeted us with a smile and happily accommodated our request to sit outside. We never felt rushed and were able to relax and enjoy our meal. The vibe was cool, the place very clean and service wonderful!! Fresh food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

The fried potatoes were delicious, and most of our mains were decent. The sole and second crab cake were fine, spinach was good. Unfortunately, their signature lobster pasta was a major disappointment. It arrived as overcooked, mushy pasta that was scalding hot, like it had just come out of a microwave, with almost no flavor and zero texture. It tasted like cafeteria food, not restaurant quality. We sent it back twice. When we asked for a third try, they said it would take 15 minutes and seemed to discourage us from ordering it again, even though they admitted they could make it right with fresh al dente pasta. That wait time honestly made no sense for this pasta. Desserts and coffee were also weak. The staff was friendly and the wine list had a couple decent options, but the kitchen needs serious improvement. They have potential, just need to cook like professionals instead of taking shortcuts

Our server was friendly, relaxed, and efficient, which added to the overall experience. The food was pretty good overall, but the corn was undercooked...a basic, avoidable mistake. At that price point, especially given the smaller portion sizes, I expect the execution to be spot-on. It's a good thing we used a Groupon, because the quality and portion size relative to the price felt a bit unreasonable. The deal included a bottle of wine listed at $90, far above its actual value ($15 to be exact) and unfortunately, that inflated price is what we ended up tipping on.

The restaurant has…read morea stylish, spacious interior with warm lighting, bamboo details, and beautiful illuminated fish installations hanging from the ceiling--perfect for a celebration or family gathering. The complimentary bread was served with a very creative trio of spreads: butter, a sweet plum sauce, and a sweet vinegar reduction. It was an unexpected and delicious start to the meal. The sushi rolls were the highlight. The fish tasted great, the avocado was generous, and the ingredients were well balanced. We also really enjoyed the Mito Ribs, Tuna Tartare, Black Sea Bass, Teriyaki Chicken, Mito Fried Rice, and Cobb Salad. The ribs were rich and flavorful, while the tuna tartare was refreshing and beautifully presented. The sea bass had nicely crisped skin with thick, tender meat. Overall, Mito offered a lovely atmosphere, attractive presentation, and a wide variety of enjoyable dishes. It was a great choice for our birthday celebration, and I would gladly return for the sushi and several of their signature dishes.

My best friend and I came here a few weeks ago for the lunch special. They had a pick three, where…read moreyou pick a soup or salad, an appetizer and 3 sushi rolls. It was national sushi day as well and during graduation season so it was very busy. Also they were doing construction outside. Inside they have lots to look at on the ceiling and it had a nice presence. It was quite slow but the price of everything was affordable. The wonton soup was very good, I enjoyed the little mushrooms in it. The crispy rice sushi, was amazing! I was worried I wouldn't like it but honestly was the best thing I had. And for the sushi rolls, they did mess mine up and give me the wrong ones but they were good otherwise. It was a nice time. They do serve French fries as well for the kids. And have a regular Asian menu like pad Thai and such.

The hospitality was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The entire team was warm, courteous, and professional. Emma greeted us warmly, explained their happy hour offerings, and made us feel very welcome. While we were waiting for our order, I also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, Tik, and the manager, Goi. They were both incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was happy to learn that they have live music this Wednesday night, and they also offer a 10% senior discount for dine-in customers Sunday through Thursday. We ordered basil fried rice, crab meat fried rice, chicken fried rice, tofu Pad Thai, tofu and vegetable Panang curry, chicken Panang curry, curry puffs, and several orders of steamed jasmine rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The tofu Panang curry and Pad Thai were my favorites--both were outstanding! Everyone in our family loved their food, and the portions were generous enough that we even had leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. This was our first takeout experience here, and it definitely made us want to come back for a full sit-down dinner. I can't wait to return next week to enjoy the delicious food, wonderful hospitality, and beautiful atmosphere. A fantastic first experience and an easy five stars!

Finally tried Thai Social! I always pass by this restaurant on my way from Queens to Long Island…read moreand vice versa. The place always seem popping with its chic outdoor dining area. The neighborhood is quite diverse with the types of stores and cuisines for the restaurants in the area so I was not sure if it would be authentic Thai food or not. The restaurant is located on a big street where several bus lines run, but it is very easy to find parking in the residential areas nearby. I came on a Tuesday evening and was able to find free parking directly in front after 7 pm. The location is Oakland Gardens which is a perfect in between Fresh Meadows and Bayside area. My friend and I decided to come here before our movie at AMC theatres. The place is quite small and they do accept reservations so I highly recommend making one. Amongst the 6 of us, we shared 4 appetizers and we each got our own entrees. It was the perfect amount of food. For appetizers, we ordered the zaab Chicken wings (4 pieces), chicken skewers (4 sticks), curry puff (3 pieces), and the fried calamari. The zaab Chicken wings are a perfect Thai Chile lime dried rub that is so delicious! I was reluctant to order the chicken skewers, but my friend really wanted to try. I was shocked! It was on par with my favorite chicken Satay from my favorite Malay restaurant. Perfectly tender with the perfect peanut dipping sauce. The curry puff is very good as well with a perfect amount of curry spice and potatoes filling. The fried calamari was decent - no complaints! As for entrees, we all ordered something a bit different. I was in between 4 different entrees and I'm glad my friends ended up ordering some of it so I got to try. The pad Thai, pad see ew, and crab fried rice are standard with full flavors. The basil fried rice was very smokey and good. The tom yum Noodle Soup is also very flavorful with lots of char Siew type of meat and ramen type noodle. Lastly, we were all pretty stuffed but we wanted to try the mango sticky rice so we shared amongst the 6 of us. It is a seasonal item (usually summer) and the rice comes in a beautiful butterfly pea purple-blue color. The mangoes are perfectly riped with a rice crunch and coconut drizzle. It was so good! And forgot to mention - we did order the Thai iced tea and it met my expectations (especially when I asked for less milk!) The Thai iced coffee has an interesting chocolatey after taste to it. My friends liked that it was strong. Would definitely be back if I'm craving some Thai Food!

For me, it was decent, but nothing I'd go crazy over. I will say, though, the tacos are very small, so keep that in mind. The real standout for me was the salmon fried rice. That was really good, and honestly, that's the main reason I would go back to Nami Sushi. I also tried the California rolls, which were good but nothing particularly different or out of the ordinary. The kani salad, unfortunately, wasn't my favorite. I usually expect yum-yum sauce to already be mixed into kani salad, but it wasn't, so I ended up adding some sauce I had at home, which definitely made it better for me. The service was good. The young lady who helped me was very nice and pleasant. The restaurant itself was very clean. It's a small space with a long, narrow kind of layout, but it still works for what it is. I'd come back for the salmon fried rice, and I'd probably try a few other things on the menu.
