    This restaurant is one of the best in the locale. I love the fusion and flavors: Indian and Indian-style Chinese food! Chicken Manchurian and Hakka noodles are my favorites.

    Visited the place on a Sunday evening with friends and was a lil underwhelmed with the experience. Like most restaurants they seemed to be short on staff so the service was slow (appetizers came at a reasonable time but the main course took a while). Food was ok - we got the paneer tikka (which was ok) and gobi manchurian for appetizers. For the main course we got chicken manchurian, chicken tikka masala and szechwan fried rice. All were ok.

    So each time I've gone here it's gotten better and better. There was a time about a year ago where the food wasn't the greatest but even since then we decided to give it a few more chances and the food is just outstanding. The service is great, the appetizers are great, they could be a little more generous with the pours of alcohol they put in the cup but other than that it is a great spot. We always get their lamb chops, mixed grill, chicken tikka masala naan and some other dishes. The inside is beautiful as well. I definitely recommend Nanking for an Indian or indo Chinese food.

    The negatives at this restaurant clearly take away from the positives. The menu is extensive (Four Stars). I enjoyed what I ordered (Three Stars). However, the restaurant is grossly overpriced for the small portion of food received (value for the money - One Star). The decor is tasteful inside, but the tables appear to be too close together for private conversation (Three Stars). The restroom is down a full flight of stairs, through a small hallway, a turn and up three stairs, clearly not well suited for the handicapped (One Star). The wait staff, one lady was friendly and pleasant, the other man and woman were not (Two Stars). Your dining dollars can go much further at other restaurants.

    Sneaky bill.

    Unscrupulous swindlers comes to mind here. Dined on a Groupon food was okay, but place looks like in need of deep cleaning. Faint lipstick marks on glass, smudges. Red fabric needed to be cleaned. Usually this place is dimly lit but for very early dinner, the sunlight was bright and you could see all the imperfections and dinginess. So here comes the check and we calculated very carefully how much our Groupon was for. The bill was for $1.07 + $9.84 gratuity!!! They arbitrarily gave themselves a 20% tip and didn't mention it and if you look at the bill closely they also had a line for gratuity and a calculated amount underneath. To add insult to injury when I paid w a $20 bill, he had the nerve to ask if I wanted change back. Whaaat? You expect an additional 9.09 tip? For a total of $19+ tip ??? Then when he gave me my change, he short changed me .09! I wasn't gonna argue about the sneaky 20% tip or shorted .09, but you can be sure I'm yelping and never ever coming back. My advice, don't use Groupon to take advantage of potential diners. I usually leave a good tip on groupons but resent you automatically assume you deserve 20% tip you don't deserve. We asked the mgr what % they calculated tip at and he said 18%, but after calculating, its clear he lied. He just arbitrarily padded the bill. Pretty pathetic and sad. Bad move. Low class swindlers.

    Main courses, duck curry, nanking fried rice, chili lamb and snapper

    I was the magician as part of a graduation party. The food was great. Not too spicy. Just the way I like it.

    Finally tried Thai Social! I always pass by this restaurant on my way from Queens to Long Island…read moreand vice versa. The place always seem popping with its chic outdoor dining area. The neighborhood is quite diverse with the types of stores and cuisines for the restaurants in the area so I was not sure if it would be authentic Thai food or not. The restaurant is located on a big street where several bus lines run, but it is very easy to find parking in the residential areas nearby. I came on a Tuesday evening and was able to find free parking directly in front after 7 pm. The location is Oakland Gardens which is a perfect in between Fresh Meadows and Bayside area. My friend and I decided to come here before our movie at AMC theatres. The place is quite small and they do accept reservations so I highly recommend making one. Amongst the 6 of us, we shared 4 appetizers and we each got our own entrees. It was the perfect amount of food. For appetizers, we ordered the zaab Chicken wings (4 pieces), chicken skewers (4 sticks), curry puff (3 pieces), and the fried calamari. The zaab Chicken wings are a perfect Thai Chile lime dried rub that is so delicious! I was reluctant to order the chicken skewers, but my friend really wanted to try. I was shocked! It was on par with my favorite chicken Satay from my favorite Malay restaurant. Perfectly tender with the perfect peanut dipping sauce. The curry puff is very good as well with a perfect amount of curry spice and potatoes filling. The fried calamari was decent - no complaints! As for entrees, we all ordered something a bit different. I was in between 4 different entrees and I'm glad my friends ended up ordering some of it so I got to try. The pad Thai, pad see ew, and crab fried rice are standard with full flavors. The basil fried rice was very smokey and good. The tom yum Noodle Soup is also very flavorful with lots of char Siew type of meat and ramen type noodle. Lastly, we were all pretty stuffed but we wanted to try the mango sticky rice so we shared amongst the 6 of us. It is a seasonal item (usually summer) and the rice comes in a beautiful butterfly pea purple-blue color. The mangoes are perfectly riped with a rice crunch and coconut drizzle. It was so good! And forgot to mention - we did order the Thai iced tea and it met my expectations (especially when I asked for less milk!) The Thai iced coffee has an interesting chocolatey after taste to it. My friends liked that it was strong. Would definitely be back if I'm craving some Thai Food!

    Great service, decent food, and cute interior…read more We orderer the calamari and the papaya salad as appetizers. Relatively small portion size for this area. For the entrees; we ordered drunken noodle, green curry and pad Thai. All were pretty good but definitely will order the drunken noodle again.
