They offer spring roll, chive pancake, veggies dumpling, and thai dumpling as apps. For entree protein, they offer vegetable/tofu ($14), chicken/pork ($15), crispy pork belly, beef/shrimp/squid ($16), and crispy duck/mixed seafood ($17). The portion is pretty good for lunch. The pad thai is a bit on the saucy end, but the fried rice is well flavored. Thai iced tea and soft drinks are all mostly $6 (soda can $2.50). Despite the sauciness (preference), I would come here again since I would like to try their squid or crispy duck versions next time!

( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.

Had a great weekend lunch here! Usually restaurants don't offer lunch specials on weekends so I was…read morepleasantly surprised that this place does. You get an appetizer and entree, and the price depends on your protein. I got the spring roll appetizer and red curry entree with vegetables and tofu for $17. I really liked the spring rolls, but the red curry was a bit too spicy for me and didn't come with as much tofu as I would have expected. The portion size was great though! What stole the show were two things. The lychee juice as well as the Zahn Wings appetizer. The juice was soooo good and came with two lychee, and the lime seasoning for the wings was incredible. I would come back and order these two things again for sure! The restaurant itself is very nice, modern and clean with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I believe the second floor is available for private events. The employees were also all super friendly.

This was a restaurant I had saved, and since it was participating in Restaurant Week, my friend and…read moreI decided to try it out. The Restaurant Week menu wasn't particularly exciting, so we both ordered from the regular menu. I had the steamed sea bass with white rice, while my friend had the duck with white rice. Both were good. We also tried the appetizer platter. I really enjoyed the chive rice cakes, the crispy texture added another layer. The crab rolls were fine, but the Cho Muang's texture was a bit off to me. The drinks were also really good. I tried the lychee floral spritz and loved it! Unfortunately, the service is what kept this from being a five-star experience. My food came out first, but my friend's didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes later. We also saw our server when she took our order and never saw her again. We wanted another drink but didn't have anyone to ask, so we had to rely on the hostess. I enjoyed the food and drinks, but good customer service is just as important to me. I wouldn't say I wouldn't return because I'd be willing to give it another shot, but I'd hope the service would be better next time.

We arrived at the perfect time, right at the end of happy hour, so we ordered the oysters, money bags, and chive cakes as appetizers. Everything was delicious. The lychee Thai tea was a little too sweet for my taste, but others may enjoy it. The Pad See Ew with beef was the only dish that didn't quite work for me. The steak itself was good, but the overall combination felt a bit off. I also wasn't a fan of the noodles they use for their Pad Thai, although the flavor was spot on. The standout dish was the short rib massaman curry--absolutely excellent and incredibly tender. Everything else we tried was top-notch. I would definitely come back. If I could, I'd give it 4.7 stars, but since that's not an option, I'm giving it 5 stars

Overall, the food and service were excellent, and the wonderful staff made the experience even better. I would definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu.

Now let's talk about the food... Drinks: * Lychee Sangria * Lychee Martini * Thai Iced Tea Every single one was delicious, and the cocktails definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol. We started with the spicy papaya salad, and I loved the bold, tangy flavors. It had just the right amount of heat. My friend ordered the Pad Thai, and I went with the Crab Fried Rice. It was packed with real crab meat, the portion was generous, and every bite was flavorful. Dessert was the perfect ending: fried ice cream and mango mousse cake--both absolutely delicious. Overall, BKNY Thai delivered on the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd come back to!

I was happy to learn that they have live music this Wednesday night, and they also offer a 10% senior discount for dine-in customers Sunday through Thursday. We ordered basil fried rice, crab meat fried rice, chicken fried rice, tofu Pad Thai, tofu and vegetable Panang curry, chicken Panang curry, curry puffs, and several orders of steamed jasmine rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The tofu Panang curry and Pad Thai were my favorites--both were outstanding! Everyone in our family loved their food, and the portions were generous enough that we even had leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. This was our first takeout experience here, and it definitely made us want to come back for a full sit-down dinner.

The woman at the counter stated no they do not have Tom Kha. So I settled for a takeaway order of chicken Pad Thai. The woman was holding a conversation with another coworker so I decided to wait outside til it was ready. Not to soon after, the woman handed me my order at the door and I thought this was the fastest Pad Thai I ever had made for me. Getting home , the paper bag contained a white container with the food and nothing else. No utensils, napkins, just the container of food. The noodles were great, wedge of lime and that was about it. Scant slivers of shallots, peanuts chicken etc. It appears and tastes as if it was a premade sauce out of a bottle... very disappointing. I recommend the removal of this item from the menu. I will give other nearby restaurants a try next time.

Possibly my new pho place…read more You're not coming here for a "vibe." It's a small place with around six tables and three staff members (two in the kitchen and one taking orders, serving, bussing, and cleaning). Not the most glamorous vision of a restaurant, right? But the food is tasty! We had the summer rolls, peppered calamari, the signature pho, and the beef short-rib pho. The summer rolls and calamari were good, you could taste the freshness of the veggies and shrimp. I wish the calamari had been a bit crispier and seasoned with a touch more salt and pepper, but it was still very good. The real reason I'll be coming back is the pho broth. Some people might describe it as slightly sweet, but to me, it had a rich, balanced flavor. I'm not sure if the short rib is available all the time (it does have a lot of fat, as beef short rib often does), but it was flavorful. Definitely coming back to try more.
