The pork was crisp as well, though some pieces were a bit overdone. I do wish the pieces were sliced a bit bigger... maybe would help it not be overdone. They give a good amount though. I love the hot sauce. The Butterfly Pea Lemonade was a little on the sweet side for me, but had a good amount of sourness to balance most of it out. A decent Thai spot in the area.

I'm still not fully decided on this place.

The window seat was cute, but it was hotter indoors than it was outside, which was a little crazy, we were literally rolling beads of sweat while eating and not from the spice. We got a few appetizers and some main courses. I have the pad see ew and vegetable dumplings which both were lovely. You're not coming here for the service honestly, as there was close to none, I must've called the server at least a dozen times and he was in his phone chilling. I don't know if I'll be back, maybe in the winter. It was just a strange experience on the whole, even with the food being good... yah who knows if I'll be back!

I've gotten their Mala Drypot multiple times, and it's been pretty solid, though there has been…read moresome pretty big variance in the spice level based on the day that I've ordered. For example, I've ordered mild spicy where it's a perfect amount of kick, and other times have barely been able to breath at the same spice level. I haven't tried the other dishes at the restaurant, but they do seem to have some nice lunch specials. The staff have always been friendly when I interacted with them, and have been quick to serve my order. Now that I don't live as close and have easier access to Mala Project, I probably won't come here as much, but it's still a solid option if you're looking for Szechuan in the area.

Though I typically head towards Elmhurst for my spicy fix, it's nice to have a local option when I don't want to go far. From my recent visit, most of what they offer was quite good. I really liked the Fried Fish Cakes and Chive Cakes appetizers, but not a big fan of the Roti Massaman. For entrees, I enjoy their Hung Le, which was a delicious pork curry. Seafood Pad Cha was also quite flavorful. The Duck Sam Rod was tasty, but the duck was a bit dry. Only thing I am just okay with is the Larb Muang. To finish off, we got the Mango Sticky Rice, which was a great way to end the meal.

UPDATED (for 2 additional visits) - It is our fav ramen spot in LIC/Astoria!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): The establishment has a very sleek interior with an open, welcoming layout. Although close to other tables, when I dined there was no one nearby. There is also bar seating in the front. Service (5/5): I came on a weekend night at 7:30p and there was no wait. Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 7 Ramen shops are everywhere in NYC nowadays. However, most of them are average at best. Looking for a quick bite last week in LIC right in the heart of court square, I found this little restaurant. Walking in, it's quite spacious and nicely decorated. Two of us were seated promptly and given menu and water immediately. After a quick look through, we settled on an appetizer to share and two ramen bowls. The Popcorn Shrimp was unfortunately not made very well. Many of the pieces of shrimps were stuck to each other's batter. It didn't taste horrible, just not preferable. On the other hand, the ramens were made extremely well. The Chicken Paitan Ramen has a savory but clean chicken broth that would be perfect when feeling under the weather. The chicken was super tender and the egg was delightfully yolky, while the chewy noodles were a great match for the dish. With that said, my favorite item of the evening had to be the Toriniku Ramen. It had a rich and deep pork flavor that completely elevates my senses to another level. The pork jowl was thick cut and very delicious. Last but not least, the straight firm thin noodles were the perfect accompaniment. I don't look for ramen as often as I use to any more due to the climbing cost of a bowl of these noodles, this place included. However, if I'm in the mood, and don't feel like trekking to Manhattan, then I may just very well end up here.

The wonton soup, pork, and noodles all left me very disappointed. The sesame peanut noodles had very poor sauce coverage, and even with thorough mixing, most of my entree was not remotely covered with peanut sauce. The pork had very chewy with every piece having a sort of ligamentous center. It was overall less pleasant than other barbecue porks i have had. The wontons immediately began to fall apart when i began serving myself and lacked flavor overall.

The particular weekend we went (July 5), the air conditioning unit was broken so we were melting inside. Wooden benches and stools with no backs were not comfortable. Service (4/5): There was only one server bustling back and forth. She did a great job in getting orders, refilling waters, and closing out for just her. There were times we had to flag her down. Spicy chicken wings (5/5): Perfect exterior skin crunch with not too much breading. The sauce was light and not overpowering. Deluxe (5/5) and TanTan (5/5) were both very flavorful. Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor. However, I felt like the broth was too salty. Pork slices were thin was flavored through with not too much fat to the pieces, so it wasn't tender or rich. I love the bounce and chew of the noodles. Definitely one of the better ramen shops in the neighborhood.

However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.
