    Papaya Salad

    Got lunch special here and it was so good and actually Thai spicy! (BEWARE)! Friendly staff and their food is so authentic. Great deals on lunch special as well!!

    Pad Thai

    UThai is the quintessential Thai takeout spot. There's not much of a restaurant to speak of; the establishment consists of a kitchen and a counter, with hardly enough space to fit two people once you're in the door. Everything UThai does is perfectly fine. Not much to rave about, but not much to complain about either. The fried rices are all exactly what you're looking for on a night when you don't want to cook. The drunken noodles are spicy and rich, if not excessively greasy at times, and the pad thai is, well, very solid pad thai. The crab rangoon is a bit of a disappointment, lacking the crisp you'd like it to have, but other appetizers are a nice complement to your meal. As far as neighborhood takeout operations go, UThai is at the very least one of the best on the block, and for that they definitely deserve their flowers.

    Got this for dinner last night Love this women owned business such great service the food I had was the chicken pad Thai as well as the crab rangoons for an appetizer everything was fresh well made and delicious highly recommend one of the best Thai food places around and pretty inexpensive especially the lunch specials definitely try if you are in the area!

    My last 2 orders from here were Massaman Curry and Mango yellow curry. They make delicious Thai style curry and special instructions are always followed. I requested pineapples as an addition in my Mango curry, (I was feeling ADVENTUROUS) and they were abundantly added. The pieces of mango and pineapple were so juicy and complimented the dish very well. The Coconut soup is always good, but the Roti canai can be a little greasy and undercooked at times. When it is done right, it definitely hits!

    Crab Rangoons (6) (I ate 2 lol)

    I seriously LOVE UThai so much!! Thai food is a major cuisine part of my rotation and you really cannot get any better than UThai. The new Peanut Curry with broccoli, green beans, and carrots with chopped peanuts on top in a delightful peanut coconut milk curry is too notch. Out of any restaurant that serves Crab Rangoon, theirs is by far the very best with actual crab and not just cream cheese. The wonton is soft and flavorful inside and the outside incredibly crispy. The Salmon Mango salad with cashews, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, mango, lettuce and topped with a dressing with the perfect juxtaposition of sweet and acidic sourness but in the most perfect amount. I could eat this salad daily.

    Chicken with Basil Sauce Lunch, peanut salad, beef Drunken Noodle Lunch (Pad Kee Mao), thai iced tea

    2.5 2 for food. Added point for the service. Tight indoors. A table for 2 and another for 4; seating outside but can't when cold. 3% charge for credit card, even for debit. Decided to try this place again so got a couple of lunch specials, each comes with an option of peanut salad, spring roll or soup; or a drink for an added $2.50 which I did for one of them. I added tapioca pearls for $1, to the thai tea, which I ended up wasting bec they were a bit hard. I asked for the mild spiciness. Chicken with basil sauce was too much on the sweet side for me. Beef drunken noodle was pale, dry and bland. Can't compare to Thai food in Elmhurst. Wanted to like this place bec it's closer but not satisfied. :(

    Had takeout from here and honestly it was pretty good! Def think it could keep up with a lot of the great Thai restaurants in queens including those from woodside Ave aka little Thailand. Pleasantly surprised and a must try if you are a resident nearby. MANGO STICKY RICE - they did an amazing job w this I kept going back for more; they got the crispy soy nuts for contrast in texture and the mangoes are soooo sweet and juicy Don't miss out on the variety of Thai iced teas including mango and lemon! Chicken Larb was good, not the best but def hits the mark. Chive pancakes were on point - nice and crispy and chivey Pad Thai also good and on par Mango papaya salad is a classic and they did a good job Duck with tamarind sauce was tender ! Usually have a problem with takeout duck being dry.

    Thai Spring Rolls (5)
    Ka C.

    This is a mostly takeout Thai place but my friend and I chose to dine in. Note it is tiny inside and only 2 small tables, both of which are tucked to the side, sandwiched between the entrance and the counter. It is also cash only which is a bit inconvenient (although they take Venmo too). Service was ok considering only one person was working the counter and they had to take orders, answer the phone, tend to the delivery people, and serve us our food. We got spring rolls, papaya salad, shrimp green curry, and veggie pad thai to share. Food was hit or miss to me. For example, the papaya salad was heavy on the fish sauce and verged on soggy. Green curry and pad thai were both decent though. They could do with a bigger rice portion with the curry but that is typical with most Thai places. Spring rolls had a nice crisp. I would say this place is a good local place for takeout or delivery but would not recommend dining in.

    Green Curry (beef)
    Cat D.

    We order takeout from here a couples times a year when we are around the neighborhood to see family. Their food is really good and we enjoy it every time. I heard that the chef changed but the food is still consistent. Here's what we typically order: - chicken satay - 3 pieces served with peanut sauce and cucumber vinaigrette -fried chives dumplings - chive vegetable dumpling with soy vinaigrette dipping sauce - roti canai - roti flatbread served with potatoes, Massaman curry dipping sauce - green curry - coconut curry, eggplants, string beans, bell peppers, bamboo shoot -panang curry - coconut curry, belle peppers, like leaves, and string beans - pad see ew beef - stir fry flat noodles with broccoli and egg - Thai basil chicken - sautéed onions, bell peppers, in spicy basil sauce - pineapple fried rice - fried with pineapple, cashew, egg and tomato - lychee juice with lychee "meat" - Thai iced coffee - homemade Thai iced coffee with milk Highly recommend this place. We try many things on their menu and everything comes out great! The delivery man is the sweetest person and handles your delivery with care. His name is Oil. Yes, Oil. We tip him generously :)

    I stopped by here for lunch. It's a small establishment, probably was a takeout only place even before the pandemic. But not to bad. Very lackluster service, as if I were inconveniencing them. I ordered the curry puffs and shrimp pineapple fried rice. The curry puffs were good with the cucumber sauce. The shrimp pineapple fried rice was okay, very bland. After eating some curry puffs, I put the cucumber sauce in there to give it some kind of flavor. If I were to go back I would just grab the curry puffs and let that satisfy my lunch.

Everyone is always smiling, super friendly, down to their youngest daughter who helped serve our large group food a few weeks ago when they started their weekend AYCE brunch.

I read their webpage on the story of the restaurant. It is own by a Sri Lankan couple - one Singhalese and one Tamil. Their love represents the union of the two groups of folks who had long lasting conflict and tension in the country. At this restaurant, you can experience the culinary fusion of the two distinct tradition. We ordered: - mutton roll 5/5 - calamari lamprais 6/5 AMAZING!! - deviled king fish 5/5 Their mutton roll is stuffed with filling - I love how thin the crust is, you really get a taste of the chunky juicy protein. The lamprais is infused with the aromantic banana leaf, along with the colorful and spiceful sides. They are so generous with their portions. It was my first time trying lamprais and I'm now addicted. I highly recommend getting this dish. One thing about Sri Lankan food is it tends to be on the spicer side (think Thai spicy). We were glad to see all items on the menu had a "mild" option. The lamprais is a safe option for those that can't eat spicy. The deviled king fish (mackerel) is a popular fish consumed in Sri Lanka. We got mild but it was still spicy. It was flavored so nicely so if you like spice and saucy dishes, this is the one for you! It was served with bell peppers and onions. We were so full we didn't get to try their desserts but they have many classic desserts options as well! We can't wait to be back to try their curry and other dishes. This place was such a nice hidden gem I really hope everyone will come give it a try!

The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review).

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit.

They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

They always have vegan pancakes on the menu, but when I went, the special was vegan peach and mango pancakes piled high with vegan whipped cream and a little cinnamon. They were some of the most flavorful vegan pancakes I've ever had. The vegan bacon was the best I've ever had, perfectly crisp. The Ginger Blast drink was the perfect spicy, refreshing addition. The whole place has such a peaceful, distinctive vibe. They play soothing, meditative music, like the kind you'd hear in a spa, and they have cute inspirational cards that make the experience feel even more special. The diner has been around since 1972, and that sense of character really comes through. It's owned and operated by students of spiritual teacher, poet, and philosopher Sri Chinmoy, which helps explain the calm, uplifting atmosphere. If you're anywhere near here, definitely go.

The Philly was delicious and the flavor was amazing. The breakfast sandwich was just okay. One thing I was surprised about was that nothing else came with our orders, unlike general diners. No greens, breakfast hash, fries, etc. So when ordering, keep that in mind. The strawberry banana smoothie was so good and the ginger shot was good value for the price. We were still a bit hungry so we grabbed a cookie from the front cashier and had it added to our bill. I would come back, pretty much because it's the only vegetarian/vegan diner that I know of.

It's decorated with cultural trinkets and I truly felt transported a bit, it was simply beautiful and I had a strong feeling that whatever I was about to eat was going to be fire.

I had to stop myself from licking the plate. Masala Fries -- Crispy, golden, and served with a tamarind sauce and a mint chutney that both deserve their own fan clubs. I need bottles of each in my house yesterday. Tandoori Mix Grill -- This one threw me. It's their version made with cottage cheese--and let me be clear, I don't even like cottage cheese. But somehow, this was smoky, juicy, and downright good. I was shocked and impressed. Shahi Paneer -- A curry where paneer is cooked in a creamy sauce made with onions, yogurt, nut and seeds. Rich, flavorful, and comforting. It gave "I've been simmering all day just waiting for you." Amritsari Kulcha -- Buttery, crispy, garlicky, and elite. Dipped in the chickpeas and yogurt? That bite was a moment. And the Vanilla Bubble Tea? I don't know what kind of magic was in there, but it tasted like a milkshake and might honestly be the best one I've ever had. See what happens when you venture out?! The staff was kind and the food came out hot and fast. Everything looked good, smelled good, and most importantly--tasted good. Queens got another winner on its hands. I'll be back. Probably soon.
