    Nasi Lemak and Steamed Chicken Rice
    Jeslyn M.

    Ordered the Nasi Lemak and Steamed Chicken rice for takeout and I was very impressed with the flavor. There were a few seating inside and the owners was very friendly! The sambal sauce and the ginger spicy sour sauce complement the rice and chicken so well! The portion size is good with what we paid for, will definitely come back to try other stuff!

    Pad thai

    Small, causal restaurant serving halal Malaysian and Thai food. The menu is pretty small. The nasi lemak is popular here. It consists of coconut rice, fried chicken, fried anchovies and peanut. Pour on the the sambal. It's tasty and mildly slipcy. The container seems small but there is plenty of food. I wasn't able to finish mine. It was very good. The murtabak (meat filled flatbread) and pad thai was also pretty good.

    Pochana Thai Kitchen - Pad Kee Mao Noodle

    This has been our top choice for Thai in Astoria for 20+ years... at least it feels like that long…read morebecause it feels so familiar. The curries are flavorful with generous portions that are very split-able and the noodles are the perfect balance of soft and chewy with a sweet and/or spicy kick - depending on your choice. The soups are also comforting and a nice winter addition. If you want something a little special, go with one of the family recipes. Our favorite is Uncle New's crab curry which is rich...bordering on decadent. I have a hard time not ordering it every time! I'm a little embarrassed to say I've only sat down inside a couple of times in all this time and never for a lunch or early bird special (dumb!), but the space is welcoming and cozy. As a service to us all - please understand, noobs, that the outer winter door is designed to open only when the inner door is closed and vice versa! Otherwise what is the point? It just becomes a wind tunnel!

    This place was such a disappointment. We were offered the early bird special menu but were told…read morethat we could not order from that menu because it was past 7:00 PM. Mind you, we were waiting for our waitress to take our order and didn't want to hound her down as we thought we would be honored the special. While of course we could have came a few minutes earlier to order before 7:00 PM, we thought this was tasteless as why would you even offer that menu in the first place? Our first waitress also gave off a very unwelcoming attitude and even "slammed" our drink cups down, which shocked my boyfriend and me. I ignored the situation and assumed that it was not intentional until the table next to us tipped VERY poorly to that specific waitress, which told me that she most likely provided bad service to that table as well. I will say that I enjoyed their pad see ew and that the other waitress was friendly. However, my boyfriend did not enjoy his entree or appetizer. We had food left over but did not take it home. We unfortunately will not be back because of the poor service provided.

    This place is problematic from top to bottom and I'll tell you why…read more As soon as you walk in, you'll immediately get hit with an awful smell in a space that is so conjusted that you'll bump into other diners. If you still want to give it a try since you're just curious to see what they have in store for a $10 AYCE, don't walk but run away from here. A heads up, they charge you for water without even informing you beforehand. I'm not aware which dine-in restaurants charge their diners for water? Not even in Manhattan and they're up with this crap here in Astoria? We ate halfway through and the staff never checked in, nor did he ask if we wanted to drink anything. When we requested for some water, he gave us a small packaged water bottle (we were three adults) and handed us a menu for drinks. After we were done eating and handed the check, we saw that the water was $2. What kind of deception is this? Why was it so difficult to inform us earlier that they charge for water? The Thai AYCE is such a fail. Just a reminder, this is not even an inch close to authentic Thai. The Fried Rice isn't cooked properly, it's dry, hard and chewy. Other dishes lack spices, seasoning and flavor. All of the dishes are also cold! And who mixes chicken and beef together to make a 'Thai Sizzler' or whatever? It seemed a joke. Labeling isn't done properly. There was a veggie label, we opened it to find fried rice. One label said Chili Chicken/Fish, we opened it and found no fish. That Chili Chicken was dry as hell and dunked in sauce. The overall taste is below average. Probably the only good thing was the Egg Chowmein. This place is poorly understaffed. Only one person who's the host, they're also the waitstaff, and they're also the person to pack to-go orders. I felt sorry for him.

    For only paying $9.99 for an AYCE Thai lunch, 5 stars is all I want to give. Very very relaxed…read moresetting. I walked in and the worker said I can sit myself and just start serving myself. I went at 2pm, and there only two other tables dining in a well. I really enjoyed the lo mien and pad see ew flavoring actually. I definitely could've enjoyed each on their own, but I found out they paired well with the other protein options like the fried tofu and chili chicken. The curry is great too. While I wish the white rice is more soft/moist, it did not make or break my meal. If I'm in the area again, I can easily see myself going back.

    If you're tired of Thai spots that lean too heavily on sugar, Kam Rai Thai is a breath of fresh…read moreair. The kitchen here doesn't shy away from traditional flavors--the food is unapologetically spicy and savory, avoiding the "overly sweet" profile that many Thai spots fall into. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: Tom Yum Goong: This was the star of the show. It had a sharp, clean heat and a perfect citrus punch without that syrupy finish you often find elsewhere. Crispy Pork Belly: Exactly what you want it to be. The skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat remained tender, seasoned perfectly to highlight the savory pork flavor. Fried Fish: Deep-fried to perfection with a light, crispy exterior. The sauce paired chili and fish sauce with fresh mango. Crab Fried Rice: Generous with the crab meat and wonderfully "wok-hei" (charred) and salty. It wasn't bogged down by sweet soy sauce, allowing the delicate crab to shine. The only real sweetness of the night came from the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect, cooling end to a very spicy meal. The mango was ripe and the coconut milk was rich, providing the only sugary reprieve of the evening. Service was so nice. The hostess and sever were so nice and friendly. The severer felt like a Thai uncle, he made jokes, gave us napkins, joked with my child. It felt so familial. If you want authentic, spicy Thai food that prioritizes salt, spice, and acid over sweetness, this is your spot.

    I first went to Kam Rai Thai in Astoria back in December 2024 and recently came back on a Friday…read moreevening in April 2026. Kam Rai Thai has a very cozy and warm atmosphere with fake flowers decor everywhere. Street parking can be hard at times and involve circling around a few times. Food menu can be accessed by QR code and paper menu for drinks. The first time I visited Kam Rai Thai, I shared the papaya salad with my friend and had the Pad woon sen with shrimp. The papaya salad with green papaya, string bean, tomato and roasted peanut with spicy lime juice was refreshing and light. The Pad woon sen has sauteed glass noodle, egg, onion, scallion, cabbage, celery, carrot, tomato and sesame oil. The second time I visited, I had the Pad see ew with beef. The Pad see ew has sauteed wide noodles with Chinese broccoli, black soy sauce, and egg. Both dishes were very flavorful, delicious, delectable, and appetizing. The dishes were very filling and there was a good proportion of noodles and protein. I've had the Rainfall in Loei and Fang Martini Time, both are really good drinks and not overly strong. We shared the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was good. The mango was very fresh and the sticky rice with coconut milk was sweet, but not overly. My friends ordered the Kopi De Trang, Spicy Maesai Plum, Rainfall in Loei, Thai ice tea lychee, pad see ew with chicken, pad kee mao beef (non spicy), and khao soi gai confit. I ordered a pad kee mao beef with a spice level of 2 to go. It is a great option to have a spicy and non spicy option for pad kee mao. Everyone enjoyed their food. Staff are very friendly and the food come out very quickly after ordering. There is a 5% discount if you pay with cash and a 2.95% surcharge for credit cards. Kam Rai Thai serves authentic Thai food and I can't wait to come back. It is a great place for friends to catch up.

The staff work hard to extend this setup and homely hospitality you can expect at any hole in the wall. Favorite points I'll bring out about this place. It introduces unique dishes from Thailand that is their comfort food that you won't find anywhere. Their appetizers sweet peanut dumplings was so naturally crunchy and sweet. And the skins on this was freshly done that you can feel how fresh and doughy it is from a delicate dumpling. Main course was hard to choose from as I've never had Thai version katsu, crispy fish in curry, and other crisp curry noodles dishes. I got the crispy khao duck in turmeric rice because of my mood and this did not disappoint. It was overwhelmingly flavorful with the right spicy, crispiness and zesty flavors. Only thing is this did leave a long impression for me to come back and try their other signature dishes because it kept my excitement to want to try everything. The owners themselves are the most kindest and respectful staff you'll encounter to help you decide what's right based on your appetite. Introduced this place to others I knew that is a big fan of Thai cuisine in the neighborhood and were happy I added a comfort food spot to their list.

    I got takeout this time, and the menu has more than doubled since the last time I ate here…read more I got the Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice which comes with a fragrant and light broth. I got this with poached chicken to absorb the broth. The chicken liver was good but they give you a lot of it - as someone who likes liver, this was still a lot of liver. They have choice of ginger rice vs sticky rice. I also got the pa lo moo sam chan, a pork belly dishes that was similarly flavorful but light, but a different flavor profile. I thought it'd be too salty but that was not the case. The pork was tender but my only complaint is that they give you really fatty pieces. It comes with mushrooms, tofu, and an egg that was unfortunately not runny at all. Comes with ginger rice. I also tried the coconut custard which was very good. Not sure what to do with the actual bowls though.
