Went to this place first, then ordered in. Both times the food and service were great!! We usually get the pad Thai and drunken noodle and switch up the appetizers (spring rolls or ribs). In the restaurant, the ambiance is peaceful: cozy space and would go back. The ONLY thing is we found a HAIR in one of our meals. read more

Food was Amazing per usual got The pad se eww and the Tom Yum soup didn't even have a second to take pics food was gone in Minutes

it took awhile for the owner / staff to notice me and another group of customers walked into the empty restaurant LOL but it's okay I think they just weren't paying attention and the music was loud. but the staff was pretty attentive most of the times. The food has solid flavors, maybe a little too salty for me for the curry, but I like the strong peanut flavor. I like how they fried the tofu as well for the pad thai making it more fluffy. read more

My husband suggested Thai food for lunch so well searched up places around Bayside. This place showed up so we decided to try it. Inside was nicely decorated. They sat us down immediately and handed us some menus. The menu was very big. We were surprised that they had lunch specials on a Sunday. My daughter and I got the lunch specials on while my husband got the massaman beef curry. He enjoyed it. My daughter got the pad see ew with chicken. As an appetizer she got the golden fritters. I got the labna with squid. I got tom yum soup as my appetizer. My daughter liked her pad see ew but thought the golden fritters tasted frozen. I also liked my labna and the squid was very tender. The soup was not very flavorful although it was slightly spicy. It was a nice affordable lunch. read more

I typically use Grubhub which prevents me from ordering from my favorite Thai restaurant in Auburndale. I have ordered from 101 several times in the past, but I think I will pass in the future. We ordered soup, a noodle dish and a rice dish. None were even close to being up to my standards. Maybe you will have a better experience. read more

Good food, very friendly staff. The flavors were spicy but not too overpowering. I really enjoyed my meal here. This is my second time eating here but I finally got a chance to review it. Will definitely be going back again. read more

I scoped this spot out in yelp before coming to eat here and I'm actually shocked by the low rating. So I'm here to boost it for the great experience I had Service: very friendly and attentive server. The food came out relatively quickly too. Food: really delicious and great lunch special. App+entree for $10!!!!! Loved the crispy garlic duck (not part of lunch special). The vibe: nothing special just very standard but not ugly neither. Good for a quick dinner/lunch read more

Great service and great food. Definitely will return. I'm so glad my coworker told me and brought me to this restaurant.

Takeout for pad see ew was disappointing. It didn't taste like Thai food. It was watery and definitely not cooked long enough.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Queens . My favorite dish is the Basil Eggplant . You can order the dish with or without meat . It's in a garlic sauce and it's spicy though to you order it any way you want . Comes with white rice . I also love the Tom Yum Soup it's a lemongrass base if you're not familiar and I usually get Shrimp . I also would recommend the Ginger Palate with chicken it's a fresh ginger dish with a variety of vegetables . The chicken wings are Thai style meaning they are spicy in like a sweet and sour sauce ( maybe ?) The delivery quick and my order has always been accurate . Haven't been in the restaurant as I don't live near Bayside . There's a minimum delivery fee of $15 I believe. Need to find out, does anyone know if this is the same owners as Thai101 in Brooklyn on Myrtle Ave in Clinton Hill ? read more

Great food great service perfect spice! Love the location! I really recommend the soups they're light but spicy!

This one on Bell Blvd is def my Favorite Thai local spot! It is cute and has a warm ambience, staff is always friendly, and of course, food is good. This place is also more affordable and has better food than other popular Thai places in the area. I recommend giving it a try! Lunch specials are always a hit for me. Happy hour Drink offerings are great too (drinks only, not food for Happy Hour) read more

Not sure what the fuss is about. We had a meal that barely resembled Thai food. The pad thai was sickenly sweet with no balance of flavors that are endemic to Thai food. The massaman curry contained peanuts, but no peanutty taste and was very bland. The penang curry did have hints of indian spices, but was hardly spicy. Should be considered "Thai lite." As a whole, very inauthentic and not recommended. read more

Found my new favorite Thai spot! The restaurant is neatly decorated and cozy, with great music and kind staff. I enjoyed the Pad See Ew with crispy spring rolls. Can't wait to go back to try more menu items! read more

Service was good. The pad kee mow and pad thai noodles were very good. The garlic duck was very flavorful. A good meal all around.

Best Thai lunch specials, great prices and their portions are abundant! I ordered the shrimp red curry lunch special ($10) with crispy rolls and veggie pad Thai ($8) with crispy rolls for 2. Great flavors and fresh quality. Couldn't finish everything! read more

My family and I came here on a Saturday night and were seated immediately! It was pretty empty when we went, so service was fast and the waitstaff was friendly. It was quiet to talk too, but food was pretty average. I'd say they definitely are stronger in their curry dishes compared to everything else. We ordered: 1. Appetizer 1: Roti Canai - smaller than expected; it seemed like they were from a frozen bag, to be honest. BUT the peanut curry sauce that came with it was tasty, more heavy on the curry flavor than peanut butter, but we enjoyed it! 2. Appetizer 2: Chicken Satay - also smaller than expected with just 4 mini skewers. However, the chicken was juicy and yummy, and came with the same peanut curry sauce. Both appetizers were $8. 3. Entree 1: Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) with chicken - This was my favorite dish; the flat noodles were soft and chewy and flavorful. It had a great kick to it, so beware of spice! The chicken was a bit dry, but we ate it with our leftover peanut curry sauce and it was good. 4. Entree 2: Panang Curry with pork - The curry had super strong lemongrass flavor and coconut, but I like lemongrass so it was great to me. There was also a good mix of vegetables to meat, though the pork was too chewy for me. 5. Entree 3: Sweet and Sour Fish - you get to choose whether you want red snapper, tilapia, or salmon; we chose red snapper. The fish was super crispy and tender. However, this fish was a bit of a letdown because the toppings were too chunky and didn't exactly match the flavor of the sauce. Also, one of the toppings, pineapple chunks, were not fresh and definitely canned. The sweet and sour sauce was also a bit too runny and more on the sour end than sweet. read more

The food here is authentically Thai. Everything we've ordered there is amazing. Fried tofu, chicken skewers, fried shrimp wrapped in wonton, and roti with curry were just the starters. The dining area in the front of restaurant is drafty so better to sit there in the warmer months when the cold air isn't blowing in. Service is friendly. Bring hungry mouths! read more

The Thai food was pretty good. I decided to try this new delivery spot as I wasn't impressed with the other Thai restaurants (or more like Asian fusion restaurants) near me. I also liked that their name had 101 in it. Felt it went well with my username (hehehee). Any who, I ordered vegetable Pad Thai and vegetable Pad Kee Mao (otherwise commonly known as drunken noodles) to have some variety. I really enjoyed the Pad Kee Mao. The flat rice noodles were definitely fresh. I also liked that it reheated well the next day (they give very generous portions) as flat rice noodles are typically only soft when it's cooked the day of. The Pad Thai was ok, although I did experience better versions elsewhere. Like the drunken noodles, they also gave generous portions too. I definitely appreciated they gave such large portions for both dishes especially the drunken noodles. Normally, I experience 80% vegetable and 20% rice noodle. However, this was the reverse situation. Pricewise, this place is comparable to other Thai restaurants I tried but as I said before their portions were generous, so you are getting your money's worth. Delivery was quick too. I'm glad I have more Thai options near me now. Will most likely order again. read more

Thai 101 - Vegetable Pad Thai Noodle (left) Vegetable Pad Kee Mow (right) - Thai Near Me - Bayside, New York

After trying other thai places around the Bayside area, our family agreed that Thai 101 surpasses all of them. We ordered/paid over the phone and our 4 dishes + 2 drinks were ready in 1/2 hour. They listened to our various requests like less oil and ice and other substitutions. My mom only enjoys pad thai when it meets her standards but after looking through the pics, she decided to give it a try. It was pretty good and she said she'd get it again from this place. I loved the texture of the noodle and the savory flavor that accompanied it. The pad see ew (we got it with american broccoli) had a perfect blend of savory and slightly sweet flavor and they gave a good portion of chicken. The chicken in general was a little dry but it didn't affect the dish that much. The papaya salad (w/o tomatoes) was lacking a little in variety but it was a refreshing break from the other hot dishes. It doesn't look like it but it's pretty spicy with the jalapenos in it. The thai iced teas were a bit sweeter than I would've liked but my brother didn't mind it. Overall 10/10 and definitely satisfied my thai craving. read more

My husband's Thai but we live in a part of Queens where it's hard for us to find authentic Thai restaurants. We've tried a few but we're usually disappointed and this is sort of the case with Thai 101. I realize because they're in Bayside, they need to cater to the taste buds of non-Thai people but I think nowadays, more than ever, people have been exposed to authentic cultural foods so, they would know if something didn't taste like real Thai, am I right? We ordered the following: Fried Fish Cakes (Tod Mun - $7.00) and this, I think was pretty good, tasted handmade and the sweet peanut-y sauce that came with it was delicious. Papaya Salad (Som Tum $10.00) this was by far the most disappointing dish. Papaya was sliced a little thick so, the already thin/watery sauce didn't have time to get into the salad. Dressing was a bit bland (we asked for Thai-spicy and it was a little peppery), no real kick or punch to the dressing. We barely touched this. Shrimp Pad Thai ($12.95+) had a good amount of noodles, shrimp and vegetables. The noodle color was a deep orange (we hate pale colored noodles) and had a sweet, tangy flavor. Pineapple Fried Rice (w/ Chicken $12.95) tasted better than it looked. Had cashews, pineapple, a lot of chicken but not much other vegetables - I think I found 2 tomatoes?) but it did have that classic Thai pineapple fried rice flavor to it : sweet and savory. Moo Prik King (Pork - $12.95+) this tasted okay. I tasted the ginger, curry base and spice but again, it was missing that kick that I usually look for in Thai food. I don't think we'll be ordering from here again. We gave it a try and we weren't impressed or even happy with the food. Maybe dining in is a better experience but with Covid, I don't see that happening any time for us. read more

Thai 101 - Thai Near Me - Bayside, New York

These freezing New York temps have me craving the warm comfort of Thai food. When I need a quick Thai fix I usually hit Thai 101 on Bell Blvd in Bayside. Their service is top notch; the staff is quick and accommodating even during the dinner rush. My usual meal consists of 2+ appetizers plus 1 entree. My absolute must have appetizer wise is the Tom Yum Soup. It's the perfect mix of sour and spice reminding me of the couple weeks I spent in Thailand. Also pictured are the Crispy Calamari appetizer and the Thai Salad. Both were tasty and solid starts to the meal but the Tom Yum Soup was the absolute star of the show. Parking wise, try the side streets as Bell itself is usually jammed packed with cars and required paying a meter during the usual NY hours. read more

Thai 101 is one of two Thai restaurants along the main Bell Boulevard strip in Bayside. The restaurant seemed average to us; perhaps sufficient for locals who don't want to travel, but not good enough to be considered a destination restaurant. Food: OK (3 of 5). Portions lean towards the small side. Dishes We've Had: - Chive Pancake: Decent, a bit gooey. - "Pad Se Ew", with Chicken: The chicken used in this dish was dry and rough, and seemed pre-cooked. The noodles had a slight hint of hardness to them; they were not the freshest. - Pineapple Fried Rice, with Beef: An interpretation that could use more color and ingredients (greens, specifically) in addition to its garnish. Service: OK (3 of 5). Suggested tips are calculated on a pre-tax basis, and start at 18%. Atmosphere: OK (3 of 5). Thai 101 is a narrow restaurant, with a long bar that dominates much of the space. Most of the table seating is the back of the restaurant. There is one well-maintained bathroom with ADA grab bars. read more

This is definitely my favorite thai restaurant. The sweet and sour duck is always delicious!

Due to the many competing restaurants along Bell Blvd, this restaurant is hardly ever crowded, and you can usually find a table. The restaurant is long and narrow, but the layout does not make it feel cramped. The low lighting, crystal chandeliers and warm wood paneling gives this place a cozy bistro vibe. We always enjoy the food here. The menu offers all the typical Thai food. They have good lunch deals that ranges $10-12. The lunch specials come with appetizer and an entrée. The last time we visited, we ordered the chicken pad Thai, beef with stir fry vegetables, golden fritters, and crispy rolls. The beef with vegetables had a nice flavor and was slightly spicy. The chicken pad Thai was also good. I liked the fresh crunchy green veggies in it. It was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the noodles. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. I always order this at every Thai restaurant. Luckily, mangoes are in season right now which made this the perfect dessert to get. Not only were the mangoes perfectly ripe but they were also huge! The staff is always lovely and the last time we went, I found them to be so very kind to my nephew who was having a mini melt down at lunch. They managed to get the food to our table quick which helped calm him down. I can't imagine not coming back as I've enjoyed my meals here in the past. I recommend this place especially, if you're looking for a quick and inexpensive place to dine in Bayside. read more
