Consistently very good Thai food. Inside has a bunch of tables and the staff is always friendly. You never have to wait long to be seated. Unassuming atmosphere........ definitely nothing fancy. Prices are fair and it seems like they do a ton of takeout. There's always Uber Eats and Door Dash drivers popping in to pick up orders for delivery. A few of my favorites are the panang curry with whatever protein you choose and the soups are also excellent. Spring rolls, pad Thai noodles, curry puffs, chicken satay and the dumplings are always a good bet, and if you're in the mood for something light and healthier, the summer rolls are an excellent choice. For me, it's an enjoyably nice little (fairly) local spot. read more

What a huge disappointment! I ordered DoorDash, so I cannot speak of the customer service. I ordered Rama with shrimp, medium spicy. Rama is a (normally) a thick peanut sauce. That is not what I received. My sauce was very thin and oily. It was also a very small portion. I was planning on having half for dinner and the other half for lunch tomorrow. You'd think I was given a lunch portion as it was small like a lunch potion would be. It was definitely not worth the price at all. I also ordered it as "medium spice" and it was so bland and did not have any spice at all. Huge disappointment. I would not order from again. 0 stars if I was able to. read more

There is a parking lot in the back. The establishment is cozy and clean. I placed a carry out order and the food was ready. Roti Massaman (2/5): Sadly the roti was pretty bland and the Massaman was very thinned out. In the past, I've had a very rich curry that complimented when the roti was dipped inside. Drunken Noodles (3/5): The noodles were soft and chewy but there was not much taste to it! The chicken slices were juicy and tender. However, the overall taste of the dish was lacking. read more

Not the best Thai food we've ever had, but still very good imo esp. on LI. The staff were friendly, and all the food came out quick. We got the shrimp roll, Sanook Thai wings, and Sanook sausage to start, as well as a Thai iced tea. For our entrées, we got the drunken noodles and pad see yue, both with beef. Everything tasted authentic and flavorful. My favorite was the chicken sausage- I wrapped it in lettuce with the ginger & onions, it was soo tasty, and had a nice crunch. The Thai wings & shrimp roll were alright- nothing special about them. They both rely on the sweet chili sauce to give them flavor. The drunken noodles (spicy) & pad see yue (sweet) were also really good. However, the noodles were quite spicy for our liking- would've preferred it to be less spicy bc our mouths were burning afterward. But overall, we had a good experience here- I would def come back again. Plus, they have a parking lot in rear :) read more

Cute thai restaurant in the area. In general, Thai food is not my favorite on Long Island but this is a reasonably good spot. This certainly will hit any cravings. However, the dishes varied in quality and flavor. The tom yum soup had a good tang and was punchy but was too oily and the soup barely had the solid components (mushrooms, protein of choice, etc.). I tried the khao soi which was well made, flavored, balanced and much heartier. The drunken noodles were bland and rather oily without much salt even. I wish it also had better textures. Thai teas were standard and good. Asked for leas ice but the drink had quite a bit of ice still. Service was quick and friendly. This spot got busier as the evening went on and it was a weeknight. read more

Finally a Thai place that offers good service, good food, and good prices! I've tried a few Thai places around the area but I always felt they were overpriced with mediocre food. I hope Sanook Thai sticks around as the staff is also friendly! I ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Pad See Ew. Both were saucy, had good flavor, and had good portions. The best part was when I called for pick up and the man said it would be ready in 5-7 minutes. I drove right over and the food was packed and ready to go! read more

Great little find. The food is flavorful and cooked to preference. The food had depth of flavor, not just heat spice. We tried the chicken satay and roti with massaman curry, both were delicious. The chicken satay came with peanut Saul and fish sauce. The roti was crispy on the outside and soft inside, which paired nicely with the curry. We ordered large wonton soup which has a generous soup portion and about 8-10 wontons. The Pad Thai was flavorful and not too heavy with the tamarind. The pad ka prow was ordered with "spicy" level and that was equivalent to Thai spicy in most places. They have an even spicier level, Thai spicy. The staff is very pleasant. Being a Super Bowl weekend, we were the only ones dining in at the time. This will surely be our go to Thai place from now on. read more

The taste is good I will give it to them. But the portion of FAT from the crispy pork is legit 85-90%. Barely had any meat to eat with the fried rice. I hope they stop this tactic and make a good selection with their meat. I would still give it a try and hopefully this is a one time incident. read more

This place is a gem on Long Island for Thai food. I love Thai food in queens for its authentic taste but Sanook definitely hit the spot nestled in Hicksville, LI! When we arrived we were seated right away and the service was consistent and quick. We barely had to wait for anything. The food here was exquisite! The must try's: 1) Curry puff - amazing crispy flakey dough with minced meat inside and with a side of a sweet cucumber dipping sauce, it's the perfect pair with a balance of salty and sweet! 2) Thai Basil Chicken - this was amazing as well! The flavor from the Thai basil and the chili sauce they added was great! It is spicy so be careful when choosing your spice level, we chose spicy and it is in fact spicy. We loved it still! 3) Pad See Eew with Shrimp - the noodles were great! A staple for me when I am at Thai places. The noodles were coated with a sweet and tangy sauce with spicy shrimp and some veggies. It was a great addition. 4) lastly, my favorite Thai dish - Panang curry with beef - this was beyond amazing, I love panang curry and this was definitely made extremely well! The perfect creaminess, and the flavors of coconut milk, Thai chili, panang curry far exceeded my expectations! Definitely a must try! Overall I would say this is one of my top favs on Long Island for Thai food so far! A must try for a quiet, cute, quaint Thai spot! read more

I love Thai food but rarely get it outside of Elmhurst, Queens ("Little Bangkok"). One tip I do have about ordering at Thai restaurants is to order things on the menu that you don't typically see on most Thai restaurant menus. At Sanook, I noticed a few dishes that were Isaan (northeast Thailand). And so I ordered the sausage and the Lao-style beef pho. The sausage was very tasty with a nice crunch through the casing. The pho was perfect for a cold day, a bit more salty than Vietnamese style pho with more umami. Overall, very good dishes. Next I'll try the jerky and laab. I hope they do well and include some more Lao~Isaan dishes like Gai Yang/Ping Gai read more

This place makes no mention of being closed nor did they have an answering machine to let people know they are closed or when they open. This is disappointing and poor service at its finest. read more

We discovered this restaurant when we were waiting for the traffic light on old country road. The place has only been opening for 3 months. Its small but well decorated and clean. The owner/chef is very nice and food is amazing. We ordered three appetizers and two main entrees and we enjoyed every dish. We have never seen Tom Yom fried rice on any Thai restaurant menus that we have tried. So we decided to give a try. Oh my gosh, it was so good. Full of flavor. It's spicy but not as spicy as Kee Mao fried rice. My husband ordered beef pad sew, it was really good too. Each dish is well presented and flavorful. We were so full and had to skip the dessert. Will definitely go back and try other dishes plus the desserts. read more

Enjoy the Thai sausage and the drunken noodles (although it could've been a little less sticky). A bit on the expensive side I felt for the quantity. They don't use too much fish sauce in their dishes as the previous place as the place actually smelled good Will definitely be back for more read more

Best kept secret out in Hicksville! I'm a repeat customer because the food is absolutely delicious and you can't beat their 3 for $22 appetizer bundle! The service is always phenomenal with friendly staff, they're amazing! The smallness of the restaurant adds to its charm and really makes this THE cozy spot for authentic Thai dishes! Truly one of the best places I've eaten at! read more

Amazing Thai - the real deal. We were concerned that the new ownership could not compare to the previous incarnations, but boy oh boy - the Owner is Lao, and it feels like the extra spice comes from the top. Finally found a place that can execute on "Thai Spicy" - fantastic. read more

This is a really good addition to the neighborhood. For appetizer, the Sanook Thai chicken wings and Thai dumplings were really good. We also loved the chef's special grill chicken. Our kids loved the Shrimp Pad Thai and Chicken Drunken Noodles. The drunken noodles were definitely a stand out within the entrees. The service was prompt and ambiance at the restaurant was small but quaint. Prices are decent for the quantity and quality received. Hopefully that doesn't change. Must try if you are in the area! read more

While the food is really yummy, the portion sizes fall behind compared to competing Thai spots in the area! I had the cashew nut shrimp and the Tom yum fried rice which were super flavorful, but not enough for the price in my opinion. The fried rice is a bit on the drier side, but delicious nonetheless! read more

Delicious Thai food in a warm casual environment. Would certainly go again as we loved everything we tasted.

Hands down the best Thai food we have had on Long Island. We did not eat a single thing that wasn't amazing. We tried a bunch of appetizers that were a combination of vegetarian options and meat options. All of them were great. The staff was excellent too! read more

New owner, new name, and so far, food is good. (I eat Thai food once a week.) It is not the best customer service - compared to previous owner. The portions are a decent size but 80% noodles, 20% meat. And I asked for extra scallions and they charged me extra. Never had that problem with the previous owner either. I will give it a few more tries. Stay tuned. read more

Only went 1x & lot lot more on menu to try! ~The KUI CHAI appetizer of fried herb dumplings was super interesting -something we never had before & it was not greasy -we liked it a lot! ~The SANOOK SAUSAGE held great lemon flavor -yet the texture was a turn off for me- I think the rice in it makes it odd? They serve it cut open & its a bit mushy in consistency. Try it- the flavor is good & you may love it? ~The TOM YUM fried rice was Crazy Good to me! It basically tasted like pad thai with rice in place of rice noodles. They use a chewy rice & its fun to eat! ~We had it with CRISPY PORK which is pork belly & well - yes -fatty & meaty but delicious! ~The KHAO SOI NOODLE - had fantastic flavor, yet was more like a sauce to me than a soup! I could have spread the "soup" over 3 meals of noodles as it was very rich in coconut milk & also kinda sweet. I did not love the drumstick of chicken in it but I suppose this may be the authentic way to eat the dish. ~We will return for the RICE for sure & to try other items. ~My dad went a few days later & did not love his PHO -said had no flavor? I personally gave up on PHO as I never had a good one no matter how great I am told the place makes it! Anyway, that is not THAI so maybe stick to THAI food here? ~ENJOY! read more

Great little spot. Food is plentiful and delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Food here is amazing! It's authentic Thai cuisine. Service is awesome. Stuffs are friendly with great service. Great atmosphere for dining.

i usually do not write reviews unless i feel like i have to. let me start by saying i love thai food, and i am very picky with where i order. i began my quest for a new thai spot 2 weeks ago and came across Sanook. In these past 2 weeks i have ordered from Sanook 3 times. there is not a day that goes by where i do not think about their food. I am obsessed. when my boyfriend and i devour the food we do not even talk or look at one another. our palates take a heavenly journey. thank you, sanook, for bringing fresh, tasteful and absolutely magical thai food to hicksville. you were much needed. Pick up is fast & still hot by the time i get home. i haven't eaten in the resturant yet but i will. i have ordered the: Pad Ka Prow (2x) with chicken- delicious. nice spice. hits the spot. so fresh. Cashew Nut with chicken- blissfully fresh. packed with flavor, mild spice that hits the spot. Mango sticky rice- amazing. flavorful. FRESH! My bf ordered: Pad See Ew with beef- i have never seen him eat a meal so fast in his life. "some of the best food i've had this year." read more

Very good, authentic Thai cuisine. The new owner is very nice and the service is excellent. We would frequent this place when the previous owners ran it and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the new owners take the same care in delivering a great dining experience. My boyfriend requested his dinner be made extra spicy and they absolutely made good on his request. We will definitely be back. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for real Thai cuisine. read more

Food was delicious and service was great!! The owner gave us complimentary coconut ice cream! Will definitely be back!

I have went to this place with every new name/restaurant it's been! It recently changed its name and has new owners and it's still Thai food ! Very small but cozy place that uses every bit of its footprint to accommodate inside seating ! The food that comes out of here is delicious ! The hot oil aka chili oil was better with the last owners which was more like a Chinese food chili oil they now serve more like a buy at the store. Bottled chili sauce like siracha sauce! Be warned about the spice ! When you say to them you like spice and make it hot/spicy I think the chef takes it upon himself to try and break you out of saying that by make you regret saying those words ! But bring it on chef you haven't broke me yet sure you might have killed a layer of stomach lining and made bland taste spots on my tongue because of how spicy it was but I'm still standing although I might be sweating with my tongue hanging out to try and quell the burning sensation. read more
