    Kimao
    Wonjun S.

    Wow! So happy to have found a good thai place near me. I've been eyeing this spot for a few weeks and finally decided to go in. I got the Kimao noodles with pork and I was very impressed. Such good flavor, texture, and quantity. The service was a little short but nothing that made me upset, they just seemed a bit hasty. Very nice interior and cozy atmosphere on a cold winter day like today. Honestly I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes like the fried rices/curries.

    Green Curry with Tofu Lunch Special incl. side of clear soup
    Monica H.

    Very delicious Thai food - perfect for these freezing Winter days in Astoria. Ordered 2 meals from the lunch special menu today; 1) Green Curry w/ steamed tofu and soup (~$12 incl tax, 2) Pad See Ew w/ beef (~$13 incl tax). And ofc, I had to treat myself to a Thai iced tea even though it was so cold out. The flavors here are rich and for that lunch special price; you just can't beat it. Note: I've been ordering takeout here for years and inflation has definitely hit in 2024. The portion size for the takeout container for the curries and noodles have definitely gotten smaller so just a heads up that it's not as much food as they once used to give.

    Assorted apetisers, dumplings,spring rolls

    We tried San aroy thai Kitchen for lunch, started with the chicken coconut galang soup,was so tasty,,perfectly spiced.. we tried some apetisers,dumplings and a larb salad. Everything was so delicious and the service was fast

    Vegetable Pad Thai
    Amanda D.

    If your looking for good Thai then you've found the right place. Just walking past the street smelled amazing so we just had to stop in for dinner. I went with the fried spring rolls and vegetable pad Thai. The spring rolls were very good, fried nicely, not greasy. I liked the vegetable mix that was on the inside too, not just filler veggies. The pad Thai was great! I was so surprised by all of the vegetables that was added. Baby corn and zucchini were the best! Can't wait to go back and check out more of the menu.

    Spicy Calamari
    Tanzie R.

    There aren't many thai places in ditmars but this one is definitely the best. You can't beat their prices or lunch specials. I always order the crab rangoon here which has the strong kani flavor and is more filling bases. The cucumber sauce is addicting! I recently tried their spicy calamari which is also delicious! They cut it up into pieces instead of circles but the spicy mayo & hot sauce go great together. My go to is the spicy basil fried rice. The rice is full of flavor and had a clear sauce mixed in. Their mock dock is delicious and cooked with the rice so it absorbs the flavor. Great portions too! I tried the green curry as well that was pretty good. More on the liquidy side rather than the creamy side. Lots of yummy bamboo shoots but the eggplant was a little undercooked. Not to sweet but not spicy either. Everything is always beautifully presented.

    Delivery container from 5 Piece Crispy Spring Rolls
    Chie N.

    The food is very good, but we were served the crispy spring rolls in a plastic container not meant for heat. The spring rolls melted the plastic (which is one of the more toxic PS 6 Polystyrene types). We consumed the spring rolls without seeing the melted plastic until we reached the bottom of the container. I'm pregnant, and this plastic is proven to affect a baby's brain development. We are not happy at all with this! Don't order unless they stop using these containers for hot food!

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. A fantastic restaurant worth hitting up if you're in the area.

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!

Fish cake and Breaded Chicken were dry. Food trays on warmers but don't think they kept them hot enough, like the fried rice which was cold. Had to ask about the 6 curries - weren't labeled at first. From different regions. Some had proteins like chicken feet, pork, chicken. One was fish but only saw a few pcs of halved fishballs. The peanut curry was slightly sweet and was just the sauce. One was very spicy so just took the veggies and meat. Instructions were finally posted on how to put together the curries with the noodles and toppings, which were set up on the table as well. It was a good tasting. Service was good. Preferred cash payment but accepted credit cards with added 3% fee. Decor was bright with colorful flowers hanging from ceiling etc. Space is not that big. Restroom available. Some street cleaning parking and the rest were metered along Whitney Ave.

Had the $30 Branzino (didn't realize that it's fried. And that we had a choice between sweet chili sauce, mango salad, cashew cream sauce). The waitress didn't ask which one we wanted. Also had the $18 Crispy Watercress Kung Fu Salad. We were thinking of a duck dish (& I didn't see the Khao Soi - one either softshell crab that I've seen previously), but the couple next to us who's been there twice within the past 2 weeks recommended these two dishes. The salad was lightly battered vegetable, they used Water Spinach instead (big tuber fritters stuck together). The bowl of Seafood Salad (shrimp & calamari, kind of Thai ceviche-style) was OK but didn't have nuances in flavor (spicy sour sweet). The Liquid was deep at the bottom and it was hard spooning things on top of the vegetable. The presentation of the fish was gorgeous - came out on a fish-shaped platter on top of an little flame. The server poured the sauce over the fish and everything bubbled. There was cauliflower and string beans underneath the fish. Didn't realize that it was fried instead of broiled or grilled. We didn't know what sauce we were getting and at first I thought it was tiny bit sour, as I continued eating, it became like a one-note tamarind. Same - there wasn't any sweet sour spicy fishy. We asked for medium-spice when we ordered. It's a little awkard deboning and serving a fried crispy fish on top of a metal platter at a 2-seat table, but my Auntie-skills kicked in and it's no problem for me since I'm familiar with where the bones are. Friend ordered a Thai Coffee also (it might only come iced). The restaurant is beautiful and has a sleek but tropical Asian decor & about 75% full even up to closing. Has a cute outdoor seating area too - a very different vacation feel on a block of Woodside/Elmhurst Queens. Later I come to find out my Queens - born Thai friend said he stopped going to this restaurant after it's renovation and adding sushi to the menu. The ownership changed and he doesn't think it's Thai-owned anymore. Either way, I kind of wish the food met up to the standards of this "Little Thailand" area of NYC. Maybe I'll try them again if they have lunch specials. A couple was sharing a giant beer glass of Thai Tea.

The steak was the only dish that showed any sign of life. Everything else tasted as if it had been rinsed with water before being served--completely stripped of seasoning, aroma, and any trace of authentic Thai flavor. It's astonishing that a restaurant with such a strong reputation could produce food that's less flavorful than the faux Thai takeout spots tucked inside Chinese restaurants off the Ohio Turnpike. That's not an exaggeration. What's even more baffling is the location. In the heart of Queens, surrounded by Thai restaurants serving bold, vibrant, unapologetically flavorful food, Zaab Zaab somehow manages to be a culinary desert. The fried rice was bland, the drunken noodles were lifeless, and the pad kra pao lacked the punch, basil, heat, and savoriness that define the dish. It honestly felt as though the menu had been engineered for diners who think black pepper is adventurous. Instead of authentic Thai flavors, everything seemed toned down to the point of being unrecognizable. For a restaurant with this reputation, the meal was a massive letdown. There are countless nearby Thai restaurants that deliver the bold, aromatic flavors Thailand is known for. Save your money and your appetite for one of them.
