Chicken Pad Thai
Sandy Y.

Ordered their papaya salad and chicken pad thai to go. Both dishes were well balanced - the papaya salad was fresh and had the funk needed & the pad Thai was on the sweeter side but really good. Really enjoyed the two dishes that I've ordered so far. From the two things that I ordered so far, 4.5 out of five stars.

Went to this thai restaurant as a recommendation from my friend. The seat about 30 people . The staff was very friendly. they have a 12 dollar lunch special with many options. I stayed for lunch, Had roasted duck that was very tasty, I love how they just serve the correct amount to be full. Also had a regular lemonade, all prices on the menu are reasonable. will go back when in the area. Also place wheelchair accessible with no entrance barriers.

Spring roll
Margarita K.

Good location. Small place with very small sticky tables very close to each other. This place needs a repair. Food is not a great quality. The spring rolls was not just made:( they was old , not crispy at all soaking with oil. Pad t with dry shrimp. Super sweet meal . Also not freshly made:( such a dissatisfying :( not coming back

Ginger fizz drink
Francie M.

I normally order pad see ew at Thai places and had fallen off because I had gotten tired of it. But this place has many unique items on the menu so I'm glad we branched out! We ordered: - ginger fizz mocktail: ginger ale and ginger syrup, so refreshing - another mocktail drink I'm forgetting but it was good! - tofu fries: how have I never seen this before. Restaurant-style chewy spongy tofu in squares with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Addicting! - vegetable dumplings: these were fine- healthy but missing the umami - crispy pork belly with green curry Thai fried rice: insane!!! The pork was rich and crispy and the rice actually had a prominent green curry flavor without being too soupy Logistics: - indoor seating only (I think) - limited street parking nearby

Came here for the early bird dinner special. This was a nice little find. The staff was attentive. The restaurant is cozy. The food was also very tasty and the dinner special was a great deal!

The $16.99 early bird deal is such a steal and I left that restaurant very full. The deal comes with an appetizer, entree, dessert, and a drink. With my girlfriend, we got the crab Rangoon and tom yum soup - the soup being to my liking which is nice because I'm usually not in the mood sourness of the soup - this one wasn't. For our entrees we got the pad Thai and green curry and both were very solid staple dishes to have - you can't go wrong with it. The green curry was actually a nice kick in spice and was smooth in texture! And to supplement our flavors, we also got some Thai iced tea and ice cream with coconut toppings which were such nice palette cleansers from all the savory dishes! This deal is too good to pass on, well worth the price!

Website description of Massaman

I hate to give a one-star review, but if you are someone with food-allergies like me, you would probably want to steer clear of this place. Despite how nice it is inside and how good the food looks, I had a pretty bad experience. I'll be honest, part of this was my fault: my friends wanted to go out and get Thai food, and I agreed, despite being allergic to soy, sesame, and peanuts. These ingredients tend to be quite common in some Thai dishes. I saw on the menu that they are aware of people having allergies due to the "Have allergies? Let us know" thing, so, when I asked our server, she was very nice and let us know. The thing is, I had the Roti and Massaman curry. On the menu, as it currently stands, it just says "savory and mild curry, potato with roti bread". Our server actually recommended it to me. It was delicious, truly. It was unlike anything I have ever had before. I should have realized that I hadn't tasted anything like this before because I am not supposed to. Five minutes later, I started to feel off. Sore throat, face getting puffy, stomach grumbling. Now, 30 minutes later, I am attached to the toilet, and feeling terrible. At first, I felt like maybe I was just randomly sick, and that it did not have to do with the food, because I explicitly told our server I can't have peanuts, sesame, or soy. So, much to my surprise, I checked the online menu, which says the Massaman curry has peanuts in it. And it seems like it typically has fish sauce in it too, which tends to contain soy. I felt like maybe I misread the menu, but as attached, you will see that the DoorDash listing shows that the Massaman and Roti does not mention peanuts, but the website does. I feel pretty pathetic and embarrassed that this happened. I should have said something in the restaurant, but I was feeling very sick. As I sit on the toilet still typing this up, I realize that I shouldn't be embarrassed, this establishment should be. Again, I don't like to write something like this for a local business. But the people here seem kind enough to take this to heart and make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. Please.

Review only for $16 early bird special! Value is definitely there! The drinks are 1/2 size of a normal size drink. Apps in this set are perfect size. The entrees are a bit smaller in portion than your normal dinner size but I totally understand given the price point. Entre size was like a lunch portion maybe a tad smaller. The ice cream was nice but didn't taste like coconut without the flakes. It was the size of a munchkin for comparison. Overall, it was a fast service and great set if you can make it M-F 5-7pm. Negatives - - The spacing between tables / actual tables are super intimate and close together. - Portions are inconsistent. Tables around us had bigger portions. The ice cream size for us looked much smaller than the ones posted last week. I would come again for this dinner set. I am not sure about everything else

Shrimp Green Curry
Jacky C.

Came here for the Early Bird Special that they offer between 5-7PM every Monday - Friday with my significant other. Was able to get one appetizer, an entree, a dessert, and a drink all for a whooping $16. Where can you get all of this for $16 elsewhere? For the special we got Tofu Fries and Yao Wa Raj Dumplings for the appetizers. There were only 2 to 3 pieces so you'll definitely not get full on these alone. For the entree, we ordered the Chicken Pad See Ew and Shrimp Green Curry. Good sized portions and delicious. Getting chicken is an additional $2 of the deal while shrimp or beef is an additional $3. Otherwise you can get tofu or vegetable, where there's no additional charge. For drinks, we had to get a Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee. Can't go wrong with either. The meal ends with a Coconut Ice Cream, which is worth sticking to the end for. Also a really nice way to end the meal. Note that they do not have a liquor license, or no alcohol is served here. So we also got a few of their mocktails, which were not bad! Don't remember the names of the drink unfortunately. We also ordered the Larb Gai ($10) is a minced chicken salad originated from Northern Thailand. Wasn't really sure how to eat this, but I mixed it in with my other entrees. The Bang Bang Shrimp ($9) is absolutely delicious, which is battery lightly and the spicy mayo sauce you can't say no to.

I'd walked by Pochana a thousand times, but never ordered from here because I didn't want to cheat on my go-to spot, Enthaice. When I heard they were offering a three course dinner plus a non-alcoholic drink for $16, though, there was no way I could pass that up. I came here on a weekday around 6 to snag the special (which runs weekdays 5-7). I'm happy to report there is literally no catch to this deal, just a great deal to be had. I started off with a Thai iced tea which was delicious and strong. I had the spring rolls for my app, my date had the fried tofu. Both were hot and flavorful. We both went with the Pad Kee Mao as our main, which was just the right amount of spicy, and a pretty decent portion size. The ice cream dessert was sweet and refreshing. Service was also fast and friendly. Ambiance is pretty casual, this seems more of a to-go spot but this deal definitely brings folks in to dine, it was very busy. I'd come back and even consider ordering from here over Enthaice, which is saying something.

Thai iced tea, Thai iced coffee.
Celian O.

Pros: - food was yummy for the price - ambient, chill for a date - seated immediately, went at around 5:40PM - service was quick Cons: - nothing necessarily during this experience Comments: - went on Thursday, September 4th - they do require the whole party to be present in order to be seated - went for the $16 dinner deal, if I remember correctly it runs frim 5PM-7PM, it comes with 1 appetizer, 1 entree, 1 drink, and 1 dessert - definitely recommend if on a budget or happen to be in the area

Wilson H.

Came for the 16$ early dinner deal Can't go wrong with a 4 course meal, definitely worth coming and leaving satisfied Nice cozy place, the deal is from 5-7pm, came at 5:30pm and got seated right away. The various options is nice, mostly noodles and rice dishes with meat being a 2-3$ add-on, but overall all the food was delicious. Highly recommend if in the area

Samah I.

That $16 dinner special cannot be beat. Excellent value for a three course meal with a drink and not skimpy portions as you would think. I am a glutton so I definitely could've eaten a lot more after but my friends were full and satisfied by the portion sizes. You have plenty of options for entree, apps and drink so everyone is sure to be satisfied. There's only one option for dessert. Proteins are an extra two or three bucks. Also service is super quick. As soon as we were done with our appetizers our mains came out and as soon as those were cleared, out came our desserts. That had me really impressed and I loved the efficiency. I would be back for this dinner special again!

They've been consistent with service and food, and the vibe is very reminiscent of my time in Thailand. Located in the busiest part of Astoria (#1), they've done a great job at taking the narrow interior and making the most of the their interior and patio dining (#2). "Pye" is paddle in Thai, which is an homage to the boat food culture in the canals of Bangkok. Their pye boat noodle ("guay tiew ruea") is their signature dish and is sufficiently porky with slices of pork meat, pork meatballs, pork rinds, and in a pork blood broth. Beef is also an option, but I still think the pork version wins. Of course, dry noodles are always an option. They're the more classic Thai dishes that are still tasty, such as their pad kee mao, pad see ew, and the classic pad thai. They're all very tasty, but the ba mee moo dang hang whch is more like a Chinese dry noodle dish, with egg noodles and a smatter of yu choy and roasted pork + crab. Another banger is their sukhothai noodles, which is in a chicken soy broth with dried shrimp, ground pork, roasted pork and pork rind, with a nice topping of cilantro and scallion. Price wise, it's a bit up there but it's also Astoria. Entrees are going to range from $16-22, and there i no shortage of variety from their robust selection. While service takes a small dive on their busiest nights, all Thai food lovers owe it to themselves to try this place at least once. ___________ (#1) Broadway. (#2) Aka the "backyard" dining room.

A medley of bamboo shoot, peppers, carrots, pineapple and cashew nuts. While it's not a listed ingredient on the menu, I could swear I taste coconut milk on the back end, which is what gives this sauce its oomph making it unbelievably creamy and satiating my soul. I believe they use their red curry base (which has coconut milk). I've only gotten it with chicken because I don't want to mess with a great thing, but would like to try other proteins and of course it comes with white rice. Probably the best white rice I've ever had from take out. Delivery is always fast and accurate. Highly recommend.

They have some soups on the regular menu now, and in the past I've also ordered from their specials menus. Their menu has expanded a lot since they opened. I'm happy for them!

For my main, I ordered the Gai Krob Sauce Kaprao - crispy chicken with a spicy basil sauce. The chicken was indeed crispy yet tender. I like that they put the sauce on the side as it was actually spicy. It was served with rice, cucumbers, and it came with a clear broth soup that had a hint of ginger. I was not expecting the soup. Prices were fair, and the portions were larger than I expected. On top of that, the server was incredibly sweet.
