    Crab Fried Rice
    Samuel C.

    The best Thai restaurant in the Flushing/Bayside area. The soft shell crab karee has a crispy outside and a soft inside. The crab fried rice had lots of crab. All the dishes were flavorful and well balanced. Highly recommend the soft shell crab karee. The service was good.

    Kra Pow with Chicken and Fried Egg
    Yuna C.

    Love that they have the lunch special (appetizer + entree) available on the weekends! I got the Kra Pow at a medium level spice but it still got a kick that was addicting - the fried egg addition was a great compliment too. The Zaab Wings were addicting too with the hot but also sour/citrus seasoning - just drooling thinking about it again!

    Food is delicious here but they are limiting meat portions now, sadly!! Service is ok!! Take out is pretty good!! Restaurant looks nice from the outside!

    Well I love Thai food and when in Bangkok didn't disappoint. Tasty and delicious food. Serving can feed 2 people. It was a lot. Our waiter was very friendly and bubbly. The place was a cute little restaurant. Definitely worth a second visit.

    Service was wonderful really really quick for how busy they were! Store was nicely decorated, I just wish I could see the second floor LOL. We got pineapple roasted duck which had a nice sweet and savory sauce. The duck itself was tender and had crispy skin but I didn't think it had much flavor. Next we got the crispy pork belly much had delicious water spinach but the pork was very hard and not yummy. The water spinach was my favorite part of this entire meal. We got a pad Thai baron and it was good but I didn't like the texture of the egg. We also got a Thai iced tea. I think it was on the higher price end too.

    Panyang Curry
    Dorothy N.

    My favorite Thai spot in Queens! It's so beautiful inside. We ordered Thai tea and sometimes it's a miss but this spot never misses. It was perfectly sweetened and creamy. For our dishes we got the vegetable thai fried rice and the panyang curry with vegetables. I usually always go for a meat dish but because my friend was vegetarian I wanted to get something we can both share. Service was quick! Lots of people were eating when we went. Def recommend reserving for a nicer outing. Totally understand why this spit is top 10!

    When in Bangkok is absolutely worth the hype. The cocktails are excellent and thoughtfully crafted, and the food is so good. We ordered the Drunken Noodle, Khao Soi, and the Braised Pork Leg--every dish was packed with flavor, comforting, and beautifully executed. The Khao Soi in particular was rich and aromatic, and the pork leg was tender and very satisfying. The ambiance is cozy with really cute decor, and the overall vibe feels warm and welcoming, even when the place is buzzing. It does get very packed, but it's 100% worth the wait. Portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better despite how busy it was. Easily one of my favorite Thai spots--I already can't wait to go back.

    Chicken Pad kee mao
    Sarah K.

    My friend and I wanted to sit outside because they have a patio, but they didn't set it up. They said they expect to open it next month. We ordered Mango Branzino Rolls, chicken pad kee mao, and Pineapple Curry Duck. They have lunch special daily from 11-4pm but we wanted try other dishes on their menu. No regrets. It is a bit expensive, but they give you big portions. We enjoyed all the dishes very much. The pineapple curry duck comes with one bowl of jasmine rice. The service is great and they refill our water pitchers. We left there satisfied and very full.

    I was drawn to this place because they're owned by the same owners of Malii (was a fan of their first branch in UES 2nd Ave then they added Gramercy). I've tried both takeout and dine out by now. The dine in experience last week was far better than the takeout experience a couple of weeks back. Food tasted better and tasted consistent to the same food I've tried at Malii. For dine in last week, we tried their Mango based rum drink each and luckily made it to their Happy Hour time so was charged $8 less, a good deal. We got their Zaab Zaab wings which were good and ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Panang Curry in Beef. Crab Fried rice was pretty yum with actual chunks of crab meat while the Panang Curry tasted just okay. Hope they can work on that. I also ordered Thai iced tea which was very watery and somehow tasted like medicine, they didn't charge me for it and I appreciated the gesture. Looking forward to try them again and hoping their taste profile can be as good and consistent as Malii. Service was warm and friendly, thanks for that! :)

    Som Tum (Papaya Salad)
    Gia H.

    Food was so good! Som Tum salad was super flavorful and fresh. There were diverse flavors from the crunchy green papaya, crispy pork skin, green beans, peanuts, and tomatoes. Both Kao Soi and Tom Yum Noodle Soup were explosions of flavor - heart warming and satisfying. Kao Soi is a sweeter, heavier curry whereas the Tom Yum Noodle Soup was more sour and craving satisfying. Service was good and ambiance is cute! Would go again.

    Tom yum Wing
    se c.

    Over the dishes were Ok. The Pad Kee Mao was very good. The lemon grass sea bass was bland. The Tom Kha was very salty and the Tom Yum wings were Ok. The service was good. The food came out fairly quick. The decor was very nice and modern. We are outside and it felt comfortable. For the price I think the food could've been much better.

    Pineapple Curry Duck, Pad Thai Bo Ran
    Kelsey Z.

    So far, I haven't had one thing I didn't like from the menu. Authentic thai staff and presentation and food is so flavorful. Pineapple Curry Duck - not too spicy, crispy duck skin, great variety of vegetables Mango Branzino Summer Rolls - nice umami fish accompaniment to the refreshing and light rolls Crab Fried Rice - solid lumps of crab with rice Pad Thai with jumbo shrimp - so moist and unique with the way they cook the shrimp almost like a lobster Strawberry mixed drink (forgot the name sorry) - soooo easy to down quickly. It tastes like a creamy pink drink with the alc taste barely coming in

    Thai tea sundae
    Michelle L.

    We walked in for a Sunday night dinner. The space is modern and the food presentation was pretty. There's a restaurant week menu for $45, which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. They were out of the panna cotta. The food was fine, not amazing. The shrimp ceviche was slightly fishy. The tamarind crab curry only came with half a crab, but the soft shell crab karee came with plenty of crab. The soft shell crab got a bit soggy in the curry. I think having it served on the side would've been better. The churro in the dessert wasn't good but the ice cream was tasty.

The inside is absolutely beautiful and while they have tables, they also have more traditional floor seating. We got a couple bites of food to eat, some of their tea, and some cocktails. Their food was very mediocre, at best. While the persimmon cake SEEMED to be made in house, it was very clear that everything off their food menu required minimal preparation (ie. for the dumplings, it was just har cow). I also thought their cocktails were okay, and out of the three we got, none stood out to me. I did enjoy their tea, however. But, it was also fairly expensive for what it was (~$50). Overall, I thought this spot was okay for the price and I'm not sure I would return.

We came with a fairly large group and ordered several teas and snacks to share amongst us. There were several options for the flavors of tea and each one had different benefits as well. I loved all of them, particularly the fruitier ones. As for snacks, we had this fried taro snack that had a crispy biscuit outer layer that was delicious. It was a bit of a sweet & savory mix, but not strong in either sweet or salty flavors. There was also this persimmon snack that was filled with nuts and other things. It was slightly sweet, very unique, and both paired well as a tea time snack. They're also open until 11:30pm! So if you want to skip the bar, I'd recommend checking out this tea spot for a nice hang out.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.
