    Fried Shrimp Cake
    Samantha J.

    Restaurant got a glam up since I was last here many years ago. Food is still top notch. Prompt service. Thai tea always hits the spot. The food at this place is spicier than the others I've been too.

    Chicken larb
    Samuel C.

    A very good authentic Thai restaurant. There are dishes here that aren't available in other Thai restaurants. The crispy watercress salad (not pictured) is my favorite dish. The watercress is fried and is accompanied by a tangy sauce of shrimp, squid and chicken. The chicken larb is standard. The jumbo noodle soup was really big. A perfect noodle soup for people who like offals and funky flavors. Service was great, they refilled water often. Good for big groups.

    The bamboo pieces from mom's trout soup, Beware!
    Maribel V.

    Great ambiance and service, we are repeat customers we love the steamed trout with coconut rice. Mom decided to try something different so she tried a trout soup. Very bad experience! In photo attached she unfortunately encountered some sort of lemon grass / bamboo she almost chipped a tooth , it was like finding a cinnamon stick in her soup that was in 1 inch size pieces. It seemed like vegetable pieces and she came across it sadly, disturbing her meal experience Perhaps they can have it give flavor and remove it with a sachet, Food for thought!

    use to be better back in the day before renovations, expansion but food is still good but more inconsistent. No longer cheap either. Service is good, menu is expansive. Papaya salad, curries, drunken noodles and kao-soy are still the Go To's.

    Found out about this restaurant years ago after a friend recommended it. We went in the wintertime and years later, it is still a beautiful space! Loved their food and their menu has expanded since then. Not to mention there is a backyard which is especially pretty in the summertime with a fountain, flowers and a peacock decor. Tried the northern sausages again. We also ordered the vegan drunken noodles, pad cha, chive pancakes and seafood pan fried egg noodles. The food was flavorful without being too salty or spicy. Loved the Thai green tea with the vanilla in it and we compared it to the Thai tea which is black tea brewed with spices and tamarind. The ripe mango with sticky rice is always good, so I tried it again. The Tub Tim Krob and Kanom Neaw desserts were also interesting! When we finished our meal in the afternoon, there was instrumental jazz music. Glad that I went to the SriPraPhai Thai restaurant again years later. Great customer service as years ago!

    Weekday lunch with the ladies was lovely. We ordered items to share and they let us sit for almost two hours. Food was good as usual. Forgot to take photos of everything because I was busy talking and eating.

    The menu is 39 pages long. Good luck if you're indecisive But if there is one thing you cannot miss, it's their Thai iced tea. It is one of the best Thai iced teas I have ever tried and it's only $4. The waiters/waitresses are literally the kindest people ever and the place is perfect for pictures and aesthetics.

    My friends and I came in last weekend for a wholesome weekend lunch. The outdoor space on the back is beautiful and perfect for a good weather day. My friend and I opted to get a vegan combo with coconut rice, papaya salad and green curry. The bummer is that they do not let you customize the curry - the only option is to get the green curry. We also got Thai tea with no milk. I forgot to get pictures of everything essentially as I was starving. The food came out in decent time. The papaya salad was really good. The green curry was delicious too. Not the best I had, but not bad. The coconut rice was essentially plain rice - I didn't taste any coconut flavor in it. I didn't mind. The Thai tea was really good. The service is good - there are hiccups. We had multiple people tending to us so there was some confusion when we paid our cheques.

    The call is coming from the inside the house. It's fun when FlyGuy X. rates Yellowstone 2 stars because it's too cold in November, less so when the great SriPraPhai gets lukewarm comments from Elites. Had a great lunch here with an out-of-town SriPraPhai early adopter, but I need to do better about initiating my own ventures. Revisted the spectacular crispy Chinese watercress salad, going for a not-too-spicy variant. The sliced fried catfish and duck green curry were also outstanding; there was no spice discussion for these, the heat was reasonable but of course personal preferences vary, call your broker. Someone complained the menu's too long. Hmm. I've never had anything here that wasn't great but this isn't a diner lobster situation. I would say don't get the p-d T-ai even though I've never tried it, given that SriPraPhai's brilliance provides opportunities to go beyond your usuals.

    Ambiance - Bright, clean- very clean, and lots of space. Seating is very comfortable. Outdoor Seating is located in the backyard with a beautiful foundation - calming and pretty view. Service - very polite and attentive. They kept making sure we have enough table space and take away used plates. They can do it without making any sound- Ninja move!! Food - the food tastes very good. not too salty or too spicy. all favors was just amount of heat and flavors. Definitely come back to enjoy the calmness, service and other dishes.

    I came here many years ago when I was young and single. Now that I'm married and older, I thought I would eat less, but forget about it! Lol! I forgot to come back but didn't forget to eat lol. So when Hubby's friends mentioned it, we decided to dine with them here, and we ordered like we hadn't eaten for days lol. This time we ordered two whole red snappers with two different sauces. So delicious! Definitely will return for the same dish, fish in ginger sauce. Surprised! We returned for lunch many more times after this and also came here when no other restaurants opened on Christmas and New Year's Day. The restaurant is huge! They have a front dining area, and the backyard dining area is huge as well. They put up a nice fountain with floral decoration, so it looks magical. Just don't eat the flowers. So be ready. Come hungry because the place won't disappoint you. Great owner and service too. Highly recommended, the best traditional Thai restaurant!

    Beautiful space! I haven't been here in ages. Loved their food way back then so once there was this event here that I was invited to I definitely wanted to come back. Because it was a private event they provided bento boxes. Service was super fast & nice! Definitely going back in future! They had a beautiful backyard but it was a bit cold and drizzly. However space was tight inside so thankfully just sat outside to eat when rain stopped. Happened to see a busy bee in one of their real flowers working hard in the cold!

    I have to share some continued love for SriPhaPhai. After all these years, they have remained a top destination for Thai food in the area (and maybe the whole city) and always deliver on the quality. I visited again for the first time in about 4 years and their interior has been remodeled to be brighter and more open. And of course they easily accept credit cards, Apple Pay, etc. now. The service is wonderful and speedy. You will never go wrong with a visit her and grabbing any of their noodle dishes - my faves.

    Is it still cash only during the pandemic?

    Yes I was just there yesterday

    I'd like to go with 2 friends on a Tuesday at 5:30 for outdoor seating. Any idea what the wait time is like for outdoor seating?

    i should not be long at that time, the yard is pretty big. Enjoy, they are closed Wednesdays.

    Will the backyard outdoor seating be open in October? Will there be a heating system?

    Not sure, but it makes good sense. Contact the restaurant!

    Who can I speak to about doing a private event like a baby shower? I asked before about doing one on yelp, and was told you can accommodate up to 65 people. When I called they said I'm unable to do so.

    Dear Kristine, my apologies for delay in replying. We can accommodate most days but not for dinner on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun). Lunch on weekends are ok.

    Do they host private events? For a group of 40?

    Yes. We have a room that can do a private event for up to 65 people. Thank you for your question.

    How's the wait for weekend lunch?

    It wasn't that long we got in pretty quick

    Do they have gift cards?

    Yes, we do have gift certificate available. Thanks

    Is it cash only?

    The SriPraPhai in Woodside is cash only. I'm not sure about the one in Williston Park.

    How spicy is the green curry?

    By default, it's the spiciest type of curry you can ask for. But at SriPraPhai they can moderate the amount the chiles they add to it to make it tolerable for you.

    Is this place still BYOB?

    Yes but with a cork fee

    What to get for a vegetarian?

    They have a whole separate vegetarian menu. Lots of options :)

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.

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.

Salt encrusted tilapia: I wish there was a bigger vermicelli noodle portion on the side but I really liked the tilapia. It was perfectly cooked and fell off the bone and the sauce complemented it perfectly. Don't forget to remove the salt crust!

Like a deconstructed and dry version of a filipino soup I love called Chicken Tinola, with similar ingredients too. The set came with soup - was mild and good. I added a bit of the ginger-scallion condiment and liked that too. I think it's the first time I tried Thai iced green tea - slightly sweet for me but lighter bec with half and half. Couldn't give this place a 5 stars though because of the heat. We went there when it was at least 90 degrees, and didn't know it wasn't air-conditioned. There was only 1 oscillating fan which was only ok when it was pointed at our direction. Once it turned, I had to keep fanning myself. The iced drink was refreshing but wasn't enough. We would have left if only we weren't set on trying their Hainan chicken. Will surely return, on a not so hot day. Service was great. Food came out quickly. It must've felt hotter for the staff being in the kitchen but they still had smiles. Nearest train station is Elmhurst Ave stop of M, R and some bus lines along Broadway, but not too far from Roosevelt Ave-Jackson Hts station. Has 4 small tables, and counter seating for 3.
