    Lunch specials!
    Melissa C.

    Yum! Yum! Yum! All 3 dishes ordered were Yummylicious in its own way! The shredded catfish salad was amazing! 1st time ever eating catfish this way The crispy pork with basil and a side of rice was so comforting and nostalgic. The 3rd dish was unique and all the ingredients complimented each so well. All 3 dishes were made of fresh ingredients and medium spicy. Every dish was made with love and delivered with care. Saranrom Thai definitely deserves two thumbs up and my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval!

    A fellow foodie Sally W. suggested we try this local Thai place in Elmhurst, not knowing it is rated a Michelin Bib-Gourmand. I was so excited to try! Pushing through the crowds waiting for a table at the door, we secured a spot just beyond the doorway. Inside, it was very cozy and tight as far as seating. The restaurant dining room is really meant for single diners or pairs of people, as the room is not wide. Any group 4+ will be difficult unless you have a reservation and they planned for it. The menu has a lot of seafood, pork and classic Thai curry dishes. Those all caught my eye. It was hard to decide. The waiter was super friendly and all smiles. We asked for his recommendations between the dishes we were thinking of and his choices were spot on. If you are a fan of spicy/dishes with heat, there are plenty on this menu. I wanted to order a few but I was afraid to given the spice level couldn't really be adjusted on some. Started with the curry puff appetizer. It was really tasty, potatoes and onion as well as the curry powder flavor really came through on this. Delicious. For entrees, we tried the: - clams with basil sauce - packed with a mild chili paste heat in the sauce but stir fried to perfect consistency. Of the whole plate, a few clams didn't open so I tossed those. - duck panang - nicely roasted with crispy textured skin, paired with basil in a coconut milk and curry paste. Very delicious. - stewed pork leg, could've been more tender so it was a tad on the tough side. The soy sauce soup and boiled egg was good though. Drinks were very good, Thai Iced tea was not overly sweet. We opted to pass on dessert as the table we sat at was really meant for two but it was three of us. I felt a little too crammed in. I think I would've enjoyed the meal better if I had a more relaxed/leisure dining pace but they were really busy and too tight on space. I can see why it's a hidden gem and noted as a Bib-Gourmand. Prices are very fair and the food was really good. Very authentic.

    This is the best Thai restaurant I've had in America! We went on Sunday around 230pm and waited about 20 minutes but right after us the line grew pretty long and was a 1 hour wait. The place is quite small. I've been chasing the raw shrimp ceviche flavors ever since I had it at a night market in Thailand and finally found a close 2nd here! It was a perfect balance of tangy and salty. They gave us a decent amount of shrimps. The tom yum soup had a kick (to the back of your throat to it even though we asked for mild. It was tasty. The basil minced pork was also delicious with the Thai omelette completing it really well! My partner got the intestine herbal soup and it was pretty good! I wasn't in the mood for it. I had some bites of it and it wasn't smelly at all. Thai iced tea was also good and as expected. A bit too sweet for me, I wouldn't order it again.

    I love this place! My daughter graduated at citi field and we needed to have a quick lunch. I called and asked if we can make a same day reservation for a party of 9 within 20 min and they said yes we can do that for you!! We waited about 5 minutes, It was also 92 degrees outside and we were very comfortable inside, temperature was just right. The food was sooooo good! And the drinks were so cute and unique. We live in BK but I would definitely return. This was very tasty Thai food. The Staff was very nice and the restaurant was clean. We were so pleased.

    The delightful food at this place will transport you to magical places and will surely bring you back for more

    Saranrom Thai is everything we look for in a Thai restaurant. It has superb taste with creative variations on traditional Thai dishes as well as drinks. It is also a major attraction. You will usually have to wait for seats to become available. My party decided we could not wait two hours to enjoy the marvels of this cuisine. They also have a problem with chockroaches and rodents. This problem is part of NYC life. The city should tighten up their monitoring of restaurants to minimize this plague. I grew up in the city. I don't like their presence. But I hope the establishments and the city do more to minimize these customers.

    Cute little restaurant. Definitely recommend making reservations. The place gets filled up fast. Staff was friendly. Food was pretty pricey but decent portion size. The two lattes we ordered were really sweet. The pad see ew was good and we liked the whole fish. The tom yum soup was spicy bit we've definitely had better else were. The chive cake was definitely different. We never had it before were it looked like a steam bun but it was good.

    Great Thai food in Elmhurst. So many food choices that I don't see in other Thai restaurants. Service is very friendly and the waiter recommends many good dishes to us. Good vibes cozy restaurant. Make sure you make reservation before you go.

    Moo Ping (marinated pork skewers)
    Joe C.

    Saranrom gets five stars from me for a perfect blend of high quality food, delicious flavors, and fantastic service. Also of note is the warm and welcoming vibe of the decor, and the background music, which tonight was old school funk at a perfect volume. We started off with fried tofu (boring, but super light and fluffy), marinated pork skewers (Moo Ping), and perfect Thai fried spring rolls. Food hits the table as it's ready, so all of a sudden you're eating! I have no issue with getting my food served hot, so I'm all for it. Tonight's entrees were Shrimp Potted with Glass Noodles and Stewed Pork Leg. The noodle dish was glorious, served in a pot that made the presentation as nice as the contents. The stewed pork leg was super tender, served with pickled greens in a rich broth. Rice accompanied, as did, in my case, bottles of Singha. We couldn't figure out how to leave space for desert this time, but the Mango Sticky Rice was calling hard. Next time for sure.

    While Fried Snapper with Mango Salad
    Tessa C.

    I just celebrated my Birthday at Saranrom Thai and this was my first time here but definitely not my last. First thing I loved was the staff and how friendly and attentive and helpful they are. It is some of the best if not the best Thai food I've had in NYC. The Crab Fried Rice is so fresh and well seasoned but the crabmeat is the star. The Duck curry with pineapple had the most divine sauce. The Whole Ted Snapper with Mango Salad was so crispy and tangy and full of flavor. I also tried Lao beer for the first and it's good. Well it was my Birthday so I had the Mango Sticky Rice with some of the freshest mango I've had in years. I definitely recommend coming here and best to make reservations!

    We ordered a variety of food, but I don't quite remember the names of the dishes. All I remember was the dishes being so delicious and spicy! And the price was not too expensive.

    Beef Drunken Noodle
    Lily L.

    It's amazing how busy this place always is! I was luckily able to grab a table with minimum wait New Year's Eve and I can definitely see why it is always crowded. Starting off, we had the Thai Spring Rolls, they weren't anything special but definitely good crispy spring rolls with a nice and tangy sauce. Then we got the crabmeat fried rice. I thought this was a little lacking in flavor but it was loaded with crabmeat and my friend really enjoyed it. After, we got the Chicken green curry which I really enjoyed, it was had the perfect amount of heat to it but I generally like things to be a little bit spicy. Finally, we finished off with the beef drunken noodles which were my favorite of the meal. It was nice and saucy and the flat noodles had a nice chew to it. The decor of this small restaurant is very cute and the servers were very attentive even though they are quite busy. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu in the future.

    Miang Kha-Na (appetizer)
    Olivia K.

    I came on a weekday afternoon with a friend with no prior reservations. Since this is a Bib Gourmand rated spot, it is almost always packed. Although we did have to wait some time, we were able to snag some seats as walk-ins. Unfortunately for us, it was the day before a holiday, so they didn't offer lunch special. In turn, it opted for choices that I couldn't get on the lunch special menu. My friend and I decided to share the appetizer MIANG KHA NA. It is one of the famed appetizers, so we decided to give it a try. It comes with green vegetables - meant for you to wrap it all up and eat it that way. As soon as you take a bite, the lime flavor hits you right away. The appetizer is a blend of citrus tastes meets crunchy texture. The green vegetable really comes in to balance out the overall tangy-ness. It can be sour, but it's quite addictive. For some, it can be a bit spicy for some, but it's quite mild (in my opinion). I personally chose to get KEE MAO THAI as my entree. It stated that it's original thai style and I've never seen this dish anywhere else to my knowledge, so I was intrigued. On first impression, it's not too different from other thai noodle dishes. I personally like the texture of the wide noodles. This dish is savory because it uses oyster sauce as it's base. Most of the veggie toppings inside are of crunchy texture - cut up peppers, cucumbersm string beans & baby corn. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant. I was satisfied with my meal. The service is great - they rounded frequently to top up our waters. They offer dishes that I haven't seen elsewhere, so it's unique in that way. I would recommend this spot.

    Mussel Pancake (Best!)
    Minah S.

    Place is cozy but small. We were here to celebrate multiple birthdays in our family of 12 people, of which 2 were kids. I was excited to try this restaurant since my Thai family insisted they were known for good, authentic even unique foods. I'll post pictures of what we had but the most memorable were: Som Tum Pla-Ra (medium spicy is sufficiently spicy for hwat lovers) papaya salad with fermented fish paste and lots of fresh veggies and plenty of lime. Mango salad with fried catfish was amazing! My son ate all the crispy fish but it was bright, spicy and crunchy. Mussel Pancake: I've had these other places and they were so greasy but here it tasted so clean, not oily just wish they gave a lot more bean sprouts. I can see why this place is in the Michelin Guide. This spot is very small but intimate so plan to wait to grab a table but the servers were so attentive constantly filling our glasses and checking on us. Definitely would recommend!

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.

I am always a fan of these hyper specialist places because I figure if you only sell one dish it must be really good.
