    Pad Thai
    Cindy L.

    Love the decor at Pye Boat! Such a cute spot and the outdoor patio seating is perfect when the weather is nice. My go-to here is definitely the Pad Thai. I totally get why it's Mayor Mamdani's favorite Thai restaurant The flavors always hit and the portions are solid too. Also obsessed with their frozen drinks!! The frozen watermelon drink is SO refreshing and perfect on a hot summer day. Definitely one of my favorite Thai spots and will keep coming back!

    Only reason this place gets 4 stars is because I hate when the staff just hovers over our table. The place was packed for lunch! My best friend recommended it as she's had it a number of times. We were seated at a table that made my stroller very accessible. Our drinks were good and the food was amazing! The menu is massive and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back here to try something else. Thank you Pye Boat!

    Boat Noodle with Pork
    Sally Z.

    Service: 4.4/5 Food: 3.8/5 Price: $$ ($20-30) I feel like all Thai restaurants (in NYC) hit it out of the park with their interior design + decorations. Super busy tonight-- I don't remember it being this packed last time I was here. That said, it's mostly smaller parties with lots of turnover + I got seated almost immediately. Borderline tight seating. Small portions for an average price. I think both times I've dined I've left satisfied, but not full. *What I Recommend What I Ordered: - Moo Ping*: super tender + flavorful, sauce added nothing - Pork Boat Noodles (egg noodles): only way I'll eat pork blood, 5 pieces of meat- some tender, some overcooked, not enough morning glory + too much bean sprouts, decent flavor - Chicken Pad See Ew: good noodles, not too greasy, very tender chicken, I want to compare it to the Canto chow fun, which it does not live up to - Ginger Lemon Tea: great hand warmer, has the ginger flavor without the spice, which I like, only got the lemon flavor at the end

    Tom Yum "Bolarn" Noodle
    Ashley H.

    Pye Boat Noodle is a hidden gem in our neighborhood! Whenever we visit we always leave satisfied. The staff is incredibly kind and the prices are very reasonable at around $15-20 for noodle dishes. Restaurant setting is very well decorated with a cute backyard for when the weather is good. We ordered the Chicken Noodles Soup and the Tom Yum Bolarn Noodle. Both were delicious and hit the spot, my only gripe is that the broths tend to be a little salty for my tastes - but this is really a personal preference. Would recommend for folks visiting or living in the area to give it a try!

    I had the crab fried rice here and was good although I do wish I had more crab. Surprised how good it was given it's not a specialty.

    A good noodle soup spot in Astoria! I really liked their large table in the back for our larger group. The service could have been more attentive (being in the back made it hard to flag them down when we were ready for the bill; I had to walk up to one of them who was by the kitchen window) but otherwise a pretty good experience.

    Larb moo
    Serena X.

    I got to try the larb moo, Sukothai noodles, and pad gra pow. I tried the broth of the boat noodles as well and wow it's rich and delicious. The larb moo is typically one of my favorite Thai dishes, and this was was just as spicy and mine infused as I like it. However, the portion was rather small for what it was! The Sukothai noodles were refreshing and flavorful, and portion was good. The peanuts and cilantro really elevate the soup. Highly recommend getting it with the rice noodles! The interior is also very cute, with an outdoor patio for seating in the back.

    Papaya Salad
    Elizabeth S.

    This place was the most authentic Thai restaurant I have been to. I normally just get the Pad Thai or Pad See Ew at Thai places - but there were so many more noodle options!! We ordered the Tom Yum noodles (wide noodles), which came with fish balls, fish cakes, and crispy wontons. It was delicious, including the wide rice noodles, and the soup was flavorful and a bit sweet. Not too potent or spicy. I would get it again. The Ba Mee (egg noodles) were dry noodles and still quite good. It came with crab meat (not imitation crab) and meat. I liked the egg noodles, but preferred their soup noodles more. Papaya salad was also good, fresh, and came with pork rinds that were delicious. Service was great. The restaurant is decorated nicely. This is a great spot if you want Thai food or noodles in Astoria, a walk from the Broadway stop.

    Fried Pork Strips
    Rob M.

    PBN is solid casual source of Thai food and tropical vibes. It's especially fun when the courtyard opens in the summer. As to specific dishes, I recommend starting with the Fried Pork Strips appetizer. It's simple, crispy and delicious. I've come a few times with groups and that's often the table's favorite. But the menu is more than adequate to address most of your Thai cravings. Plus, the service is friendly and the food comes out quickly. If you're in the neighborhood, it's a cool place to hang out on a summer night.

    Boat Noodle with Beef
    Koreen D.

    I'm a sucker for boat noodles so this place has been on my list for a bit. Walking in, the place is very kitschy and reminiscent of Thailand. Opted for the boat noodles with beef. It was decent and legit though not the best I've had. The yentafo was a bit more lackluster. It was good, but not as flavorful and fermented as others so more on the lighter side which I suppose may appeal to more palates. Overall a decent spot for boat noodles. And they have other smaller stuff you can also order

    We got takeout from here on a cold evening during the week. The website to order was easy enough to order and came from their actual website. We did not use uber eats. I was a little early to arrive and my food was not ready. However, the server was super nice and I could either sit at the bar or by another bench area. Since I had time, I admired the decor. It was really neat and I liked seeing the various Thai culture and art around. It is authentic. I got pad Thai with chicken and my friends got a noodle soup (both spicy) Everything was packed well. Food tasted great and I heard the noodle soup broth was really good and perfect for a cold evening. I would love to come again and dine here one day.

    Taro Rolls
    Anthony R.

    This place is probably the most authentic Thai spot we have gone to. Not a lot of places have boat noodles and we were able to adjust our broth by omitting the blood to have it more clear. It was a nice taste reminding us of the food we had in Bangkok. Everything was tasty, simple, and affordable.

    Pad See Ew with tofu
    Alyssa W.

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I order delivery and pick up and dine in at Pye regularly and it is reliable, consistent and always tasty! Their dishes always have a lot of flavor. When I need comfort I'll order a rice or soup, if I want that extra flavor I'll order one of their stir fry dishes. Some favorites are pad kra pow with minced pork or minced chicken, bolarn noodles and pad see eaw. Their Thai iced tea is also awesome. For dine in the interior has a very like retro plus old Thailand vibe and the staff are very nice. This is easily my most frequently restaurant in the neighborhood!

    Is it cash only?

    We were there this past April 2023, we paid by credit card

    Does anyone know if they have actually vegetarian or vegan options? Someone in a review from 2014 says that everything has fish sauce and the owner replies, sorry about that. Do we know if they have changed since then to have really vegan options?

    Yes, they have 3 vegetarian/vegan dishes and those don't contain any animal products. Just had one last week and it was good.

    Do they have heat lamps outside?

    Anyone know if they are open for delivery currently?

    Any gluten free/vegetarian items?

    Yes they do!

    Is it halal?

    They serve pork, so my guess is no.

I wouldn't recommend the Karaage, and heres why. Traditional karaage is usually double-fried, resulting in a light, cripsy exterior and ;juicy interior. Unfortunately,this version was quite oily, with a thick coating that seemed undercooked in some areas. The chicken itself is greasy and overly salty, which took away from the experience. In fact, I would rather have chicken nuggets from McDonalds than order the karaage here again. 3 stars.

I've had every ramen, and they're all amazing. Really really similar to ramens I've had in Japan. And then they also have some inventive fusion flavors, like chicken tikka masala ramen, which are also amazing. The Japanese curry is so good. I love getting it with pumpkin croquettes, but I've also gotten it with pork cutlet, chicken cutlet, with and without melted cheese on top, and honestly all combinations are great. The portions are perfect so I never leave feeling too full but I always leave feeling extremely satisfied. I've had the bao buns too, each type, and they're all so good. The beef gyudon is my favorite, but I've gotten it with teriyaki chicken too and that was also great. The waitstaff are pleasant, even when I bring my two screaming kids with me into their tiny restaurant, and they always have a smile ready. They don't even say anything when my 2 year old throws his entire cup of water on the floor. They just quietly come over and clean it up (while I apologize profusely), and they even bring a new cup of water over. Great place. I go at least twice a week. Couldn't love it more!

One bite is enough to send a novice spice eater to their grave. But that's why I love Xi'an Famous Foods so much. There is not a single item on the menu that you won't enjoy. I've tried a variety of dishes, all of which I've loved. Their pickled cucumbers are both refreshing and flavorful. Their thick flat noodles with your choice of meat are wonderfully saucy. Their dumplings, stuffed with either lamb, pork, or beef (you decide), were even more so drenched in sauce. Their "burgers" (not the American kind, mind you, so don't come here expecting something you can get from Shake Shack) had a satisfying flaky bread with wonderfully juicy cuts of meat. Sure, Xi'an Famous Foods is spicy, but it's not merely the type of spice that is all burn and no flavor. Xi'an's dishes are so full of umami that you'll crave days later.

You can order at their register or self-service kiosk. There are only around 4 barstool/counter seats, so please note that this isn't necessarily a sit-down restaurant. You have the choice of less spice / regular spice for dishes than include sauces, but I opted for regular spice. The spicy & sour spinach dumplings definitely had a kick, but wasn't too overwhelming. The hand-ripped noodles were chewy and very filling. It did have bits of cabbage, but I wish there were more veggies to round out the noodles. It could definitely be split between two people - again, it's a VERY filling dish since it's 85% noodles.

I had the special Gaeng Phed Ped Yang and my wife had the green curry. My dishes' lovely duck slices which were generous and are perfectly baked with the crispy skin clearly carefully set above the broth, just lovely. My wife's green curry is clearly handmade with the preferably uneven slicing of peppers and a nicely varied set of tastes which make it interesting even for the frequent green curry eater. Trivia: green curry actually contains no curry, but coconut milk. Both dishes came with white rice and are very good portion sizes, but most impressive is the quality of the dishes. As we are particular, having been spoiled by decade plus of Thai food around Jackson Heights, Queens, we really wanted the fresh and authentic style which LennoxThai does, much to our gladness. Seating is very limited with ~8 tables, most are easily moveable for varying sizes of parties. The staff is very copious thus very quick service whether for the high-volume takeouts or the dine-in which at 4:30p was just 2 other tables, but 2 more added as we finished after 5p. The Toast POS makes payment in person or online easy. It also emits a loyalty discount which comes via the usual Toast marketing streams. Its sanitation, cleansiness, and decor are all clean, confident, and comforting. The murals on the walls of varying Thai scenes are good discussion starters for the far away yet popular lands. The signage makes it easy to find on the otherwise busy 1 Av. I noticed the 2 adjacent restaurant locations are vacant but have signage saying new eateries coming imminently.

Everything I've had has been flavorful and very satisfying. My current favorite is the Pad Thai Woon Sen which is Pad Thai but using the thin bean thread noodles instead of the typical rice noodles. I only wish more dishes had the option of being made vegan and gluten-free. I seem to recall that the Drunken Noodle could be made gluten-free, but that option no longer exists on their online ordering platform. I have eaten at the location a couple of times but usually I order for takeout because I'm at work nearby. The space inside is small with only 4 or 5 small tables, and space is a little tight. But it is clean and the decor is nice and welcoming. The staff is always very friendly and are willing to answer questions if you have any. I usually order takeout during less busy times so my order has been ready by the estimated time they give me (usually 20 minutes from when I place the order).
