We had chicken curry fried rice, basil fried rice and Chicken pad Thai. We enjoyed the meals and the service was great.

Came here with two others on a super cold spring evening. The service was excellent. We were seated quickly and had our order taken swiftly. Our food was served promptly. We ordered: - Thai ice tea - Pineapple Fired Rice - Chicken Tom Yum soup - tofu and broccoli (I think with noodles, not sure) - roti with chicken - edamame Everything tasted great and warmed us up nice and quick. read more

Pretty standard Thai restaurant. Came for their lunch special and was pleasantly surprised by the large portion size! Definitely could be split it into two meals (or lunch and an afternoon snack). The chive pancakes were hot and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The sauce was more liquid-y than others that I've had (usually a little thicker, just shy of a syrup consistency). I do wish that chive pancakes were included in the appetizer choices for lunch special, but still worth it. The service was pretty standard, took our order and brought out food. The server looked tired, but could've just been an off day. read more

Delicious Thai foods + the decor inside was very nice! My family & I came here for dinner and ordered a lot of foods to share. We ordered: 1) Pork Belly Pad Ka Pow, 2) Crab Fried Rice, 3) Calamari, 4) Chicken Green Curry, 5) Pineapple Fried Rice, 6) Beef Pad Thai, 7) Shrimp Tom Yum Soup, 8) Duck Leg Red Curry. Pork Belly Pad Ka Pow - the pork belly was exceptionally seasoned so well but was a bit overcooked so was very chewy. The jasmine rice was so fragrant and delicious. The basil leaves & fried egg complemented the entire dish very well. I would reorder this as it was very tasty - probably the best seasoned pork belly we had but wish it was a little overcooked. Crab Fried Rice - It was delicious but not the best & most fragrant crab fried rice we had. You can taste the fishiness of the crab meat & the fried rice was also on the soggier side. Calamari - I would skip this item. It was a bit overcooked & ok tasting. Chicken Green Curry - This item was one of our favorites. The green curry was exceptional & very tasty. The chicken was also very tender & it was amazing when eaten w/ jasmine rice. Would reorder this! Pineapple fried rice - This item was ok. It was also a bit on the soggier side & not the most fragrant we have eaten. Beef Pad Thai - This item was also one of our favorites. The pad thai noodle was good quality & the beef was so well seasoned & tender to eat. This entire dish was amazing & we enjoyed it very much. Would reorder this! Shrimp Tom Yum Soup - This item was our least favorite. The soup tasted was very diluted & not flavorful. We have consumed better tom yum soups at other thai restaurants, so this was very disappointing. I would skip this. Duck Leg Lychee Red Curry - This item was also very delicious & unique (I have never eaten an item w/ lychee in it)! The duck leg was cooked to perfection, well seasoned. The red curry itself was amazing, super fragrant w/ some spice. I was surprised how delicious the lychee was in this dish. Delicious! The foods came out fast & service was good. read more

It wasn't my favorite menu in the world, but the chicken satay was good and the fried tofu was excellent!

This used to be Spice and me and my coworkers loved it. Now it's called SAANG! Not sure if it's the same owners but we figured we give it a try. I ordered thai fried rice with chicken. I used to get the red thunder cause it had some spice to it. But they didn't have an option for that. Got the lunch special and got a spring roll as my appetizer. my coworker orders the basil fried rice with chicken and hers looked better lol . she got a curry puff with it. As they didn't label the containers ( hate that ) mine was the only one that had tomato so we obviously knew who's was what. No utensils or napkins. no problem we have at the office but you just never know. came quick orders from grub hub. food was good will order again . read more

This new Thai spot in LIC is a great spot for some casual Thai food in the area! I came on a weekday during their lunch deal, where you can get an appetizer and entree for ~$15. The place was pretty open and I did not need a reservation. Staff was very kind and service was quick. I got their edamame and pad see ew, while my friend got their curry and tom yum. The appetizers were both alright, and was a smaller portion than I'm assuming what you would get for an appetizer at dinner time (but I didn't mind). Both of their entrees were delicious, however. The pad see ew was a good portion with lots of chicken, and packed full of flavor. Meanwhile, their curry was rich, creamy, and a bit sweet. Such a steal for delicious food at lunch, and I would definitely come back. read more

Saang Thai - Pad see ew and Curry (lunch deal) - Thai Near Me - Queens, New York

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* LIC has pretty mid food in general but this new Thai restaurant is solid. We randomly stumbled upon this place 2 weeks after they opened. They have quite an extensive menu with many classic dishes along with dishes with unique twists. Definitely hits the Thai cravings. Plus, it's fairly priced, pretty good value for dine in Thai restaurant. Out of all the food, you MUST get the Duck Lychee Curry. This curry was soooo good! The duck was cooked really well; tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. I love the lychee in the curry, give it a nice sweetness. Would go back again! read more

Nice restaurant in LIC with flowers and a bar area. Such friendly staff and quick service food came out within 10 minutes. Crying tiger ($30) was well portioned and the steak was good but the garlic rice with the raw egg yolk stole the show. Complimentary fruit at the end. read more

Came here for lunch for two, just in time to take advantage of the lunch menu. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Monday afternoon, but don't let that fool you. Both of these dishes packed massive flavor. The Pad thai is now ranked among one of my favorites in the city. The food came out piping hot, good sized portions for a lunch special, and was super saucy. I'm not the biggest fan of bean sprouts so I did like that all the condiments were placed on the side without having to ask. The Pad see Ew was also very good, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfect. The lunch menu also gives you a side and I chose the fried chicken dumpling that came with a sweet chili sauce while the other dish had the chicken curry puff. Both were delicious and I would definitely order them on their own. The Thai iced tea was a bit too sweet for my liking but still tasty nonetheless. Overall very pleasant experience for a first time, and is a great alternative to the neighboring TukTuk. read more

One star for the wings. The other for being edible. Friday night dinner at 7pm. I was excited. Thai food is my favorite. I could eat it every day, forever. We already studied the menu and knew what we wanted before arriving. Wings, beef pad kee mao and chicken pad thai - feeling basic. Wings arrived hot. Yummy, crispy, fresh crunch. Would get again. First issue was when I went to use the fork. Cool-looking black metal - with solid, old food residue that only came off with a nail scratch - tissue test failed. A clean replacement was provided. Entrees arrived piping. Smelled nice. Took a couple of bites to really get a sense of the pad kee mao. There was a malicious quality to the spice. Felt different and I couldn't quite place my finger on it until I noticed there wasn't a hint of fresh sliced chili to be seen like I typically experience at high quality Thai establishments. The bits of green and red were diced bell pepper. A pit began to form in my stomach - was it disappointment or something darker? Had to take a break. On to the pad thai. What caught my eye was the generous portion of crushed peanuts - somehow becoming the second best part of the meal - after the appetizer. That and the white meat helped cleanse my palate before I had to call it. Body language and half eaten plates must've spoken volumes because neither waitress bothered to ask us how the food was. They didn't even ask if we'd like dessert. The older one simply slid the bill over and that was that. I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping there would be a solid dinner spot to add to the local rotation. Alas - Tuk Tuk stands tall remaining the local Thai Temple of LIC. read more

The food is so decorative just like they serve In Thailand orchids on top beautiful colors. The arrangement is exquisite. You're given the proper utensils a spoon and a fork with a napkin. It is beautiful. They were very crowded on Friday night. They were only 2 staff for about 20 tables so that's a lot to ask of two people so if they didn't bring everything that I wanted, that's OK. Service was very good too. We ordered the appetizers came right away and we only waited about 10 minutes for the main dishes to arrive and of course what would be a meal without the Thai mango with sticky rice serve so beautifully on a bed of a banana leaf, they know how to make me feel like I'm back home as far as the ambience it's set for a dark evening where you would have a candle on a table sure in the future they will fluff up the establishment come by say hi. Enjoy your takeout or sit down and enjoy. read more

Was not happy with my order. I asked for the Som Tum grilled beef almost $40. Requested for medium rare. Instead I got well done, not grilled at all because there was no grilled lines or that taste of grilled meat and the meat was well done. After spending so much on this and being pressed for time, I just couldn't wait for them to fix the mistake. The meat was so tough, I felt my jaw locking and clicking every time I chewed. My teeth which I paid so much to have straightened, felt like they were being rearranged back to the original unalignment due to how much strength I was trying to chew this meat. The grinds were small but good and the papaya salad was decent. I told the server about this issue and he tried to make it right with a drink, but I politely declined. I wasn't happy with the food at all here. Dissapointed. Ever since they changed owners it hasn't been the same. read more

Saang Thai - Not grilled at all. Too well done. Not great experience at all. - Thai Near Me - Queens, New York

Saang Thai is a nice local restaurant where another Thai restaurant called Spice used to be. Seems like the owners just rebranded by making a few interior changes which made the place look more appealing. Food is still very good and people working there are super friendly. The only thing I wish they would change is how early they close. read more

Fantastic lunch! Generous portions and amazing food! We will be back the next time we are in New York City. This place is a little gem.

I don't understand how this restaurant have a 4.4 because the food is horrible and the price is to expensive. The leech mojito tasted watery and i asked her to made it sweeter it tasted the same. The service was face and the atmosphere was beautiful but the appetizers were not seasoned well. I got the chicken skewers and the chicken dumplings. It was awful read more
