Curry Puff
Jas C.

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)
Mia H.

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.

Complimentary fruit

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

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.

It wasn't my favorite menu in the world, but the chicken satay was good and the fried tofu was excellent!

If you're craving authentic Thai flavors in Queens, @saranrom_nyc is definitely worth the trip…read more From the warm hospitality to the incredible variety of dishes, everything here was packed with bold and balanced flavors without breaking the bank. One of the standout dishes was the Yum Pla Duk Fu Salad -- a Michelin Guide recommended favorite made with crispy fried shredded catfish, crunchy breadcrumbs, and a refreshing spicy mango salad. The combination of textures and flavors was unreal Another must-try is the Miang Kha Na, also Michelin Guide recommended. It comes with savory dried pork, lime, chili, and fresh Chinese broccoli leaves for wrapping. Every bite was fresh, tangy, spicy, and so satisfying. And don't skip dessert the taro balls were soft, comforting, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

Waited an hour on Friday afternoon for walk-in. I was excited to try the top Thai spots in NYC and…read moreon top of that a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. Price-wise was excellent with most dishes around the $10-30 range. Portions were large and meant to be shared. As for the food itself, I honestly expected better. If it was ranking in the same leagues as Fish Cheeks, Pranakhon, and Bangkok Supper Club on Beli, I thought the taste would be phenomenal but it truly just tasted like any decent thai spot I could find in SoCal. The only difference is that in SoCal there would be little to no wait. I must clarify that my qualms is not with the restaurant but with NYC having an issue of overinflating certain places and establishing high expectations of otherwise normal restaurants just doing its thing. The pad see ew was my favorite, and I liked how wide and long the noodles were. Otherwise, their Michelin Yum Duk Pla Fu was just another mango salad to me, and I had wished that the catfish tasted more like fish than breadcrumbing. The green curry was decent, nothing special. Good price for what you get though. If the wait wasn't unnecessarily long, I would consider this a nice spot for cheap, yummy Thai.

They definitely didn't tell me that lunch specials were available before I ordered my soup. Other than that, everyone is pleasant. Space: they have two sides, so plenty of space, but nights and weekends can get pretty packed, so keep that in mind. Food: I ordered Tom Yum soup and a lunch drunken noodle with a Thai iced tea. 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. There are lots of Thai food options and I finally made it to Ayada. Super happy with my meal and excited to go back with some people and enjoy.

This time I had the chicken wings and the Pad See Ew with crispy pork. Both were perfect. The Pad See Ew is materially better than other ones as the noodles are so chewy and silky. I've also gotten Pad Kee Mao with thai spicy and it was fantastic. Perfectly spicy!! Definitely try this place!!
