First & foremost, Brandon & Brian are great employees & super attentive without being overbearing which is always a plus. They have an all day HH on Tuesdays & Thursdays but it's really worth it for the drinks IMHO, the apps on the HH menu aren't really all that (which is okay)! I had the chicken + fries from the HH menu which was alright TBH. I also had the mango salad off the regular menu & that was delicious- refreshing & filling. Per Brandon's recommendation, I had the Barrio Chino to drink & it was the perfect spicy margarita- no tajin or jalapeños necessary as the spicy Thai bitters were more than enough & I actually liked it a lot better than the traditional spicy margarita. I will be back for sure! read more

I had the crying tiger skirt steak. It was really flavorful but a little over cooked. The person working there working in the front was really nice. I believe he was the owner. I got my order to go. The place was really cute, I loved the decor. I can see this place getting busy. I went on a weekday evening. It's definitely a nice spot to have dinner or lunch. read more

We loved coming to Arunee and was surprised to see a new name at the door! Baht is the family's newest concept and it really works. The decor celebrates Queens and modernizes the restaurant. Playlist was fire too! But no wifi, so don't ask. Bryant was our server for lunch and he was so kind, checked on us multiple times. We made it to happy hour from 12pm - 3pm on the weekends so we ordered multiple apps and drinks from that menu. We also had to try their signature crab fried rice. The chive dumplings were my favorite of the apps but honestly, they were all scrumptious. The espresso martini and arnold palmer was perfection. The crab fried rice!! So herbacious and flavorful. I liked the sauce on the side, added a nice umami and we didn't leave a single grain behind. Def coming back to try the rest of their menu. read more

I've been here twice, once for dining in and the second time I did take-out. For take-out, the waiter was nice. He let us wait at the bar and provided us with water. The food itself was yummy. My only gripe was that the beef in the pad Thai itself was burnt little. It did not taste that good. In my dine in experience, everything went well. The tom yum soup is spicy and is a lot to share for two people. The Thai tea cheesecake was okay, I feel like it wasn't special enough to reorder. read more

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this spot for a while now, luckily before we moved out of the area we got to try it. They have a great deal of martini Mondays! We sat at the bar and our server was very nice and friendly. We enjoyed the drinks, but the star of the show was the food. We had the empanadas which had curry chicken in them, I still think about this dish. My boyfriend got the Panang Pla and I had the Pad Krapow. We both left full and satisfied. read more

Baht - Larb Fries & Panang Pla (salmon in delicious coconut sauce) - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Cuisine: 4 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 4 Overall: 4 Not sure what I'm missing since everyone seems to love this place, but this is not a good replacement for Arunee, which I enjoyed. I know they have family ties, but the food no longer resemble anything I am familiar with from the old regime. On top of that, there seems to be a strong emphasis on cocktails, which I heard were excellent, but not my thing. Also, the prices here are definitely higher than all the Thai restaurants nearby in Woodside or Elmhurst. Though pricier, I don't mind if I get a superior product. Unfortunately, my main problem with the restaurant is the food itself. You can tell right away from the menu that the cuisine here is not necessarily completely traditional. Dead giveaways are items like empanadas and avocado aioli dip. However, good is good, and some changes to me are welcomed if done properly. Anyway, two of us ordered Fish Fritters to start and found it very different than what we expected. Instead of fluffy fish cakes like everywhere else, it was more like a potato croquette with a hint of fish flavor inside. My friend said she did not taste any fish, but still liked it regardless. Paired with the avocado aioli dip, it actually was our favorite item from lunch. Nothing I must have again, but somewhat enjoyable. What was truly underwhelming for us was the two traditional entrees we shared. Their version of Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) was way too vinegary and lacked any other flavor. Where is the saltiness from soy, the spicy kick from chilis, or refreshing bitterness from the Thai holy basil? All basically missing, along with the wok hei. Similar issues with the Krapow, with the exception of more basil. More of an issue for me was the lack of a single Thai bird's eye chili when I asked for extra spicy, like in Thailand. Instead, we received a wetter version devoid of the intense flavors of what the dish should be. Maybe I'm being harsh and should try more dishes before making an assessment, which I often do by not reviewing restaurants until multiple visits. However, I just can't imagine the chef making other Thai dishes well after tasting the current offerings. Is the food edible? Sure! If you never had Thai food, will you enjoy it? Probably. However, enjoying good Thai cuisine in NYC and overseas for decades, I am unlikely to ever come back. read more

First timer here and was blown away with FLAVORS! The Espresso martini is so good! It is exactly as described, a cup of coffee with a blueberry muffin on the side. Absolutely delish! Moving on to the food. I love flavorful food and this is the place for that! Larb wings are not just a good spicy sauce but the wings are actually SEASONED. Calamari was cooked to perfection and the spicy aioli is good too. The mango salad is very fresh, nicely done, wanted more. The Khao Pad Poo is excellent. Didn't think much of lump crab and rice but the combo with the Thai chimichurri (secret sauce) is such a good combination. Crying Tiger, perfected skirt steak with the jeaw sauce, you will cry! Service is very good, your order is not just taken but they actually check on you and not in an overbearing way. Staff is friendly. Seems as if I timed weekend dinner just right because we sat down and there were only a few people and when I looked up again the place was nice filled with various diverse customers. I don't normally get excited about food but again I say FLAVORFUL and the ambiance is nice too. Not stuff very calm, neighborhood gem most definitely! Will be back for more. read more

Love this new restaurant! Its previous iteration, Arunee Thai, was a long-time mainstay in the neighborhood, and today I learned, it had been run by the parents of today's proprietors. I like that the next generation is carrying on the family business and putting their own modern twist and flavors on Thai food. We came in for a lunch date (Baht opens at 12pm) and ordered the chicken kee mao lunch special which came with a house salad. We also ordered the spring roll appetizer (3 medium-sized fried spring rolls), and I ordered the Salmon Pla (penang curry which was absolutely delicious). I enjoyed a Thai iced tea (made with oat milk and syrup) and requested that not a lot of syrup be made. All in all, I am so glad a Thai spot is back on 37th Avenue and thoroughly enjoyed the taste of my dishes. We will be back! read more

Baht is a welcomed new addition to 37th Avenue, serving creative cocktails and tasty food in a modern, hip environment. We came here for a late lunch and enjoyed happy hour nibbles and cocktails. We enjoyed it so much that we came back two weeks later for dinner. Both times we came to Bhat we were helped by their friendly staff, who are happy to talk you through the menu and make recommendations of their favorite items. For our happy hour visit we started with the Olieng, a signature cocktail which is their version of an espresso martini containing blueberry vodka. This inventive cocktail was not quite what I was expecting, since I didn't realize it contained blueberry vodka, which I don't particularly care for. After drinking it I switched to the Lychee martini which hit the spot and was able to strike the balance between refreshing with a hint of sweetness without being overwhelmingly sweet. We ordered the Satay, the Egg Rolls, and the empanada. The Satay was cooked and seasoned well and topped with a warm peanut sauce that was velvety and paired nicely with the spices on the chicken. The empanadas seemed to be their version of a curry puff, it was filled with potatoes and curried chicken and an avocado aioli on the side. These empanadas were fried perfectly without feeling greasy and the filling was flavorful and paired well with the aioli. The egg rolls, stuff with carrots, glass noodles, and cabbage and served with a plum sauce. These were fried to a golden perfection. And served hot. This dish is not an strongly flavored as the others but was a nice compliment to our table. Upon our return two weeks later, I enjoyed the Larb Wings and the Khao Moo Dang. The Larb wings were topped with a blend of sweet, sour, and spicy larb giving these wings a unique yet flavorful kick. The Khao Moo Dang is a dish comprised of roast pork with a velvet sauce, chinese broccoli, and jasmine rice. The pork in this dish is tender and flavorful. Enjoy a perfect bite with a little bit of each of the components on the dish. I highly recommend this dish as well as it is a great option for those less familiar with Thai food or for those who don't eat spicy food. One critique I have and I hope the owners or staff see is that when seated across from the bar, the TVs are distracting. Perhaps flipping the tables by 90 degrees would allow those at the tables to see the TVs with being so distracting. read more

I've been to Baht a few times now and I'm consistently delighted that it's come to the neighborhood. I tend to frequent lots of the Thai restaurants on Woodside Avenue (Little Thailand) where there's a high concentration of them, but it's also nice to have this Jackson Heights option with a fantastic happy hour. Initially reading about how Baht's drink menu was co-conceived with a Death & Co bartender is what made me want to visit, and indeed, we've now tried the entire cocktail list across our visits and have been impressed. They are all well-balanced, made with high quality ingredients, presented nicely, and provide much more sophisticated options than truly any of the other Thai restaurants in the area (sorry!). If you like sweet drinks, this is not the drinks menu for you, but if you're into cocktails, this is absolutely your jam. The Rupert is a coconutty drink unlike any of the gloopy cloying coconut drinks you may have had in the past and is instead light, refreshing, and interesting, and the Green Jacket is a tried and true that at least one of us has ordered every time we've come here. I'm not usually an espresso martini girlie but the Olieng is made really superb with their blueberry vodka (sounds weird, just try it!!). Remarkably, they offer happy hour on the weekends around lunchtime (genius) and all day on Tuesdays. I've had the empanadas a few times and they are fun, and what I am excited to order again and have been craving is Baht's crab fried rice, the Khao Pad Poo. Wow, the amount of lump crab on top and the great balance of flavors, accentuated by the nam jim sauce (they call it Thai chimichurri but IMO it's even more delicious than chimichurri) is making me hungry just writing this. The bartender who is usually working here is SUPER friendly, kind, and attentive and makes excellent drinks, and I have found the service to be exceptional. Bathroom is spacious and has beautiful penny floor tiles, and the space overall has a nice airy feel. There's a private room that seems fairly large and would be nice for a larger group, and I'm excited to return regularly here and continue re-ordering the Khao Pad Poo! read more

Ate here by myself for dinner trying this place out in my neighborhood. I had ordered, tried and brought the shumai as a starter, kao moo dang as an entree and mango sticky rice for dessert. The food there was good and not bad at all. The service there was also attentive and friendly that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose and eat for the first time. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

We recently ventured out to Jackson Heights to try this highly reviewed restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was later in the afternoon on a Sunday and the restaurant was pretty quiet. The space is ample and modern. We shared 1 small dish and 3 bigger ones between three of us. They were all flavorful and the portions were generous. This is a solid Thai spot and I'd definitely come back if I lived nearby. Service was friendly and attentive at all times. read more

I had the pleasure of eating a nice lunch at Baht yesterday. I asked my waiter if it was basically Arunee Thai but under a different name. He told me the former owners have now retired and their children have taken it over under a new name. But, they kept the same chef. So if you loved the food at Arunee Thai you will also love Baht. My lovely and attentive waiter said that it is now their take on a new modern Thai cuisine. Whatever they're doing the food is great! I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp and Chicken Satay for a starter. The peanut sauce on the Chicken Satay could be thicker and more flavorful, but other than that my meal was delicious. read more

Baht - Olieng a definite, pleasant surprise! - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

YOU WILL NOT REGRET DINING HERE--on a brisk but clear-skied autumn afternoon, I and a few friends walked into Baht seeking bathrooms, quick libations, and outlets. When we exited, street and other miscellaneous city lights illuminated the jet black night, a glacial wind blasted through the streets, and I don't think any of us cared at all. I particularly entered Baht already full from lunch, and upon setting my eyes on the menu, I regretted having a full stomach. I searched within the depths of my stomach, and more pertinently searched within the depths of my Bank of America mobile banking app, and sadly settled for a drink and glass of water. Throughout our time at the bar, some small, unconscious, highly dramatic part of me lamented that I'd have to settle for marking this place on my Maps app and returning to eat next time I can get to the city. And most fortunately, unbeknownst to me, the kind-voiced bartender (gliding swiftly through the establishment as if the floor was solid ice and he an Olympic skater) was determined to ensure we would not have to settle that night. First came the Ku Chai Tod, which he very hospitably dropped after my friends and I interrogated him, a bit puzzled about how such a clean and aesthetically delightful place could have open tables on a weekend night. Discovering extra space in our stomachs, we devoured these crackly, crispy chive dumplings and our bewilderment only grew. My eyes ever darting back to the menu, the bartender disclosed to us more about Baht--originally a family restaurant (Arunee Thai) cultivated by his wife's first-generation parents. His hospitality was brimming--not in the cloying, transactional sense you'd find from the owner of some uppity $40/entree place searching for a Michelin star (and your wallet's approval)--in the way that your lovely grandmother would always meet your gaze after a period of separation, smile on her face and with an irresistible smell wafting from her kitchen. After serving the community for decades, it came time to hand the torch to the next generation, and over the past few years, they conceived and executed Baht. On the sixth day of my trip, my wallet suffocating in my back pocket and gasping for mercy, I--like a tyrant unrelenting--showed absolutely none: "Could I actually get one order of the larb fries?" The bartender--now known to me as half of this graceful husband-and-wife duo who I'd watched skate throughout Baht all night, taking care of every single customer--disappeared into the back of house. Heidegger has a lesser known essay (Building, Dwelling, Thinking) on what it means to dwell in a place, versus merely existing in it. I definitely felt like I dwelled the night I spent at Baht; in a city often lacking attentiveness and breeding ironic feelings of social alienation, I found a respite from all of that in Baht. All of this seems plainly obvious and logical now knowing that at its core, Baht is a family-owned restaurant. But I've not walked into many places in NYC and felt like I was at home, and usually the other places in the city where I feel like this are other friends' apartments. The owners of Baht are so aggressively hospitable and kind, in a way that will make you feel like you're a special customer, until you pivot your head around and starkly realize that you are, in fact, not special at all. And I think what I've realized now weeks removed from my trip is that when you dine at Baht, you are genuinely family. The larb fries dropped on the counter, and they suspiciously looked like chicken wings instead of potatoes. A true Sherlock Holmes, my hypothesis was confirmed when the bartender came out a minute later with larb fries and apologetically said he dropped the larb wings in the fryer initially. No mistakes, only happy accidents, right? After a couple bites, I almost cancelled my night's plans right then and there; I'd say I was about one chicken satay away from voiding all my social contracts. Next time I'm in the city, this will be my first stop. read more

A wonderful neighborhood place where you can relax an afternoon away during Happy Hours! Great food and excellent drinks. OK to enjoy solo.

I went to dine with my family (Husband, daughter (5)) and friends (party of 6). The service was awful. When we paid the bill and stepped out, I returned to use the restroom, probably 10 minutes later. One of the servers/managers initially refused to let me use the restroom. She did not believe that I dined there; there weren't a lot of patrons at 5:30-6:00 pm. She explicitly requested my receipt; my husband paid, so I didn't have it. I sent him a text to please bring my receipt to use the restroom. She lets me use it without the receipt with a stern warning that they cannot let people who aren't customers use the bathroom. He brings the receipt. I show it to her; she doesn't apologize and throws the receipt. My daughter, who is five years old, asks me to use the restroom; I walk over. Another server saw me and yelled at me that my daughter could not use the restroom and that he made an exception to allow me to use the restroom. I said, "I just showed her my receipt." They have many inexperienced young staff who do not have proper customer service. One thing is misunderstanding, and the other is treating customers negatively. I will not return, and I will share my experience on different platforms since I am a long term resident of Jackson Heights. read more

My husband and I checked out this new Thai restaurant for dinner and it was great! The dumplings were excellent as was the mango salad. We also had Pad Thai with shrimp and the Chinese broccoli. Everything was top notch - fresh, flavorful, not greasy or too salty. The restaurant has good vibes and the staff were lovely. We were able to just walk in on a Saturday night, but I suspect that's not going to be the case for long once the word gets out. This place is a very welcome addition to Jackson Heights. read more
