    Crab fried rice
    Sandra S.

    Delicious Thai foods + the decor inside was very nice! My family & I came here for dinner and ordered a lot of foods to share. We ordered: 1) Pork Belly Pad Ka Pow, 2) Crab Fried Rice, 3) Calamari, 4) Chicken Green Curry, 5) Pineapple Fried Rice, 6) Beef Pad Thai, 7) Shrimp Tom Yum Soup, 8) Duck Leg Red Curry. Pork Belly Pad Ka Pow - the pork belly was exceptionally seasoned so well but was a bit overcooked so was very chewy. The jasmine rice was so fragrant and delicious. The basil leaves & fried egg complemented the entire dish very well. I would reorder this as it was very tasty - probably the best seasoned pork belly we had but wish it was a little overcooked. Crab Fried Rice - It was delicious but not the best & most fragrant crab fried rice we had. You can taste the fishiness of the crab meat & the fried rice was also on the soggier side. Calamari - I would skip this item. It was a bit overcooked & ok tasting. Chicken Green Curry - This item was one of our favorites. The green curry was exceptional & very tasty. The chicken was also very tender & it was amazing when eaten w/ jasmine rice. Would reorder this! Pineapple fried rice - This item was ok. It was also a bit on the soggier side & not the most fragrant we have eaten. Beef Pad Thai - This item was also one of our favorites. The pad thai noodle was good quality & the beef was so well seasoned & tender to eat. This entire dish was amazing & we enjoyed it very much. Would reorder this! Shrimp Tom Yum Soup - This item was our least favorite. The soup tasted was very diluted & not flavorful. We have consumed better tom yum soups at other thai restaurants, so this was very disappointing. I would skip this. Duck Leg Lychee Red Curry - This item was also very delicious & unique (I have never eaten an item w/ lychee in it)! The duck leg was cooked to perfection, well seasoned. The red curry itself was amazing, super fragrant w/ some spice. I was surprised how delicious the lychee was in this dish. Delicious! The foods came out fast & service was good.

    This used to be Spice and me and my coworkers loved it. Now it's called SAANG! Not sure if it's the same owners but we figured we give it a try. I ordered thai fried rice with chicken. I used to get the red thunder cause it had some spice to it. But they didn't have an option for that. Got the lunch special and got a spring roll as my appetizer. my coworker orders the basil fried rice with chicken and hers looked better lol . she got a curry puff with it. As they didn't label the containers ( hate that ) mine was the only one that had tomato so we obviously knew who's was what. No utensils or napkins. no problem we have at the office but you just never know. came quick orders from grub hub. food was good will order again .

    Pad see ew and Curry (lunch deal)

    This new Thai spot in LIC is a great spot for some casual Thai food in the area! I came on a weekday during their lunch deal, where you can get an appetizer and entree for ~$15. The place was pretty open and I did not need a reservation. Staff was very kind and service was quick. I got their edamame and pad see ew, while my friend got their curry and tom yum. The appetizers were both alright, and was a smaller portion than I'm assuming what you would get for an appetizer at dinner time (but I didn't mind). Both of their entrees were delicious, however. The pad see ew was a good portion with lots of chicken, and packed full of flavor. Meanwhile, their curry was rich, creamy, and a bit sweet. Such a steal for delicious food at lunch, and I would definitely come back.

    Nice restaurant in LIC with flowers and a bar area. Such friendly staff and quick service food came out within 10 minutes. Crying tiger ($30) was well portioned and the steak was good but the garlic rice with the raw egg yolk stole the show. Complimentary fruit at the end.

    Chicken Pad see ew
    Brea S.

    Came here for lunch for two, just in time to take advantage of the lunch menu. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Monday afternoon, but don't let that fool you. Both of these dishes packed massive flavor. The Pad thai is now ranked among one of my favorites in the city. The food came out piping hot, good sized portions for a lunch special, and was super saucy. I'm not the biggest fan of bean sprouts so I did like that all the condiments were placed on the side without having to ask. The Pad see Ew was also very good, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfect. The lunch menu also gives you a side and I chose the fried chicken dumpling that came with a sweet chili sauce while the other dish had the chicken curry puff. Both were delicious and I would definitely order them on their own. The Thai iced tea was a bit too sweet for my liking but still tasty nonetheless. Overall very pleasant experience for a first time, and is a great alternative to the neighboring TukTuk.

    Pad kee mao
    Bradley T.

    One star for the wings. The other for being edible. Friday night dinner at 7pm. I was excited. Thai food is my favorite. I could eat it every day, forever. We already studied the menu and knew what we wanted before arriving. Wings, beef pad kee mao and chicken pad thai - feeling basic. Wings arrived hot. Yummy, crispy, fresh crunch. Would get again. First issue was when I went to use the fork. Cool-looking black metal - with solid, old food residue that only came off with a nail scratch - tissue test failed. A clean replacement was provided. Entrees arrived piping. Smelled nice. Took a couple of bites to really get a sense of the pad kee mao. There was a malicious quality to the spice. Felt different and I couldn't quite place my finger on it until I noticed there wasn't a hint of fresh sliced chili to be seen like I typically experience at high quality Thai establishments. The bits of green and red were diced bell pepper. A pit began to form in my stomach - was it disappointment or something darker? Had to take a break. On to the pad thai. What caught my eye was the generous portion of crushed peanuts - somehow becoming the second best part of the meal - after the appetizer. That and the white meat helped cleanse my palate before I had to call it. Body language and half eaten plates must've spoken volumes because neither waitress bothered to ask us how the food was. They didn't even ask if we'd like dessert. The older one simply slid the bill over and that was that. I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping there would be a solid dinner spot to add to the local rotation. Alas - Tuk Tuk stands tall remaining the local Thai Temple of LIC.

    Not grilled at all. Too well done. Not great experience at all.

    Was not happy with my order. I asked for the Som Tum grilled beef almost $40. Requested for medium rare. Instead I got well done, not grilled at all because there was no grilled lines or that taste of grilled meat and the meat was well done. After spending so much on this and being pressed for time, I just couldn't wait for them to fix the mistake. The meat was so tough, I felt my jaw locking and clicking every time I chewed. My teeth which I paid so much to have straightened, felt like they were being rearranged back to the original unalignment due to how much strength I was trying to chew this meat. The grinds were small but good and the papaya salad was decent. I told the server about this issue and he tried to make it right with a drink, but I politely declined. I wasn't happy with the food at all here. Dissapointed. Ever since they changed owners it hasn't been the same.

    Saang Thai is a nice local restaurant where another Thai restaurant called Spice used to be. Seems like the owners just rebranded by making a few interior changes which made the place look more appealing. Food is still very good and people working there are super friendly. The only thing I wish they would change is how early they close.

Service was great and efficient. Shortly after we sat down, we were greeted by our server and received water. One member in my party has a gluten sensitivity, and when we mentioned this, our server brought out a gluten-free menu! It has a great selection and my friend was overjoyed with the options. The food was delicious and a bit spicy, even at the mild option. If I was there for lunch, I would have ordered a Thai ice tea (the drink had too much caffeine for me the evening ). The food was delicious, and is something that we'd all order again. My favorite part of the evening was the tv playing a Thai cooking show. There were no captions or subtitles so I kept asking the server what veggies were on screen, and they too didn't know because there was no caption.

It had a lot of crunch to it so was fun to eat although not my style of salad. The curry sauce was great. I wish the duck came with more meat; it was a lean cut. We were too full to order more but there's plenty of other things I would've wanted to try. Also their cocktail menu looked stellar - very unique and fun glasses + flavors. We waited ~45 min on a weekend with no reservation at around 2-3pm as an fyi!

We ordered the spring roll, chicken lollipop, pad Thai , fried rice and the rib eye steak. My family only enjoyed the appetizers. The rib eye steak was so chewy they could not eat it. They did not like any of the main entrees. When we finished eating , we were rushed out because there were people waiting outside. The restaurant wasn't even packed, where was only one huge party next to us and there were plenty of seats. Really unnecessary to ask us to leave. We took longer because I had a baby and we all took turns using the one bathroom they had. That was a huge turn off, this was the first time in my life that we were told to leave a restaurant that was not even at capacity. They couldn't even wait a few more minutes. It wasn't like we were sitting there like it was a cafe and we are just chitchatting. Overall it did not feel welcoming in there. The other staff did not seem friendly either.

The Restaurant Week menu wasn't particularly exciting, so we both ordered from the regular menu. I had the steamed sea bass with white rice, while my friend had the duck with white rice. Both were good. We also tried the appetizer platter. I really enjoyed the chive rice cakes, the crispy texture added another layer. The crab rolls were fine, but the Cho Muang's texture was a bit off to me. The drinks were also really good. I tried the lychee floral spritz and loved it! Unfortunately, the service is what kept this from being a five-star experience. My food came out first, but my friend's didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes later. We also saw our server when she took our order and never saw her again. We wanted another drink but didn't have anyone to ask, so we had to rely on the hostess. I enjoyed the food and drinks, but good customer service is just as important to me. I wouldn't say I wouldn't return because I'd be willing to give it another shot, but I'd hope the service would be better next time.

They definitely didn't tell me that lunch specials were available before I ordered my soup. Other than that, everyone is pleasant.

I only had the soup there and took the entire lunch special to go. Just based off of the soup, I will be going back. It was delicious and PACKED to the MAX! Writing this now, I can still imagine. Drunken Noodles were also really tasty. I like mine spicy and it could have been made spicier, but that's not even a real complaint. Also- the one next to me had this dish which reminded me of pad see ew but in a gravy. Looked delicious!! I will be back for whatever she had. Overall: the entire block is like a little Thai street.
