I haven't been in Woodside for a very long time since I moved out of NY. It was a must visit since I was in the area. The seatings seem to space out with more breathing room a bit from long time ago. More waitstaff and very attentive. Indoor was very cold but the outdoor was hot that day so we chose to sit indoor. Duck noodle was not disappoint. Kuay tiew kaak- curry noodle with rice noodle, chicken, bean sprouts, egg, and peanuts was a good reminiscence. The curry itself was very thick which makes this dish heavy. This was the same as before. Kao soy chicken was a bit different. It used to be bone in thigh, which was the highlight of the dish. Now it is boiled chicken pieces. Something is not the same with the taste either but the dish is still good. Breaded shrimp was very crispy! read more

This was one of the first truly authentic Thai restaurants in the city, and I've been coming here for decades. Over the years, they've updated the dining room and become a bit more polished to keep up with the wave of trendy, upscale restaurants that have opened around them. Thankfully, the food hasn't changed. The flavors remain solid, traditional, and deeply satisfying. While many places have leaned into fusion or toned things down for broader appeal, this restaurant has stayed true to its roots. Whenever I'm feeling nostalgic for the flavors I remember from the back alleys of Bangkok, this is where I come. It's still one of the closest experiences I've found outside of Thailand. read more

Really nice flavors here. The pork jowl salad has an amazing tender texture. The raw shrimp is packed with flavor. The green curry is flavorful and pairs well with coconut rice. A little disappointed in the steamed fish since that's a larger main dish. Could be more flavored, but it is cooked well. Didn't get dessert but appreciate the large selection variety. Had a really upscale vibe inside, almost like a wedding venue. read more

Great ambiance and service, we are repeat customers we love the steamed trout with coconut rice. Mom decided to try something different so she tried a trout soup. Very bad experience! In photo attached she unfortunately encountered some sort of lemon grass / bamboo she almost chipped a tooth , it was like finding a cinnamon stick in her soup that was in 1 inch size pieces. It seemed like vegetable pieces and she came across it sadly, disturbing her meal experience Perhaps they can have it give flavor and remove it with a sachet, Food for thought! read more

A very good authentic Thai restaurant. There are dishes here that aren't available in other Thai restaurants. The crispy watercress salad (not pictured) is my favorite dish. The watercress is fried and is accompanied by a tangy sauce of shrimp, squid and chicken. The chicken larb is standard. The jumbo noodle soup was really big. A perfect noodle soup for people who like offals and funky flavors. Service was great, they refilled water often. Good for big groups. read more

Found out about this restaurant years ago after a friend recommended it. We went in the wintertime and years later, it is still a beautiful space! Loved their food and their menu has expanded since then. Not to mention there is a backyard which is especially pretty in the summertime with a fountain, flowers and a peacock decor. Tried the northern sausages again. We also ordered the vegan drunken noodles, pad cha, chive pancakes and seafood pan fried egg noodles. The food was flavorful without being too salty or spicy. Loved the Thai green tea with the vanilla in it and we compared it to the Thai tea which is black tea brewed with spices and tamarind. The ripe mango with sticky rice is always good, so I tried it again. The Tub Tim Krob and Kanom Neaw desserts were also interesting! When we finished our meal in the afternoon, there was instrumental jazz music. Glad that I went to the SriPraPhai Thai restaurant again years later. Great customer service as years ago! read more

My friends and I came in last weekend for a wholesome weekend lunch. The outdoor space on the back is beautiful and perfect for a good weather day. My friend and I opted to get a vegan combo with coconut rice, papaya salad and green curry. The bummer is that they do not let you customize the curry - the only option is to get the green curry. We also got Thai tea with no milk. I forgot to get pictures of everything essentially as I was starving. The food came out in decent time. The papaya salad was really good. The green curry was delicious too. Not the best I had, but not bad. The coconut rice was essentially plain rice - I didn't taste any coconut flavor in it. I didn't mind. The Thai tea was really good. The service is good - there are hiccups. We had multiple people tending to us so there was some confusion when we paid our cheques. read more

The call is coming from the inside the house. It's fun when FlyGuy X. rates Yellowstone 2 stars because it's too cold in November, less so when the great SriPraPhai gets lukewarm comments from Elites. Had a great lunch here with an out-of-town SriPraPhai early adopter, but I need to do better about initiating my own ventures. Revisted the spectacular crispy Chinese watercress salad, going for a not-too-spicy variant. The sliced fried catfish and duck green curry were also outstanding; there was no spice discussion for these, the heat was reasonable but of course personal preferences vary, call your broker. Someone complained the menu's too long. Hmm. I've never had anything here that wasn't great but this isn't a diner lobster situation. I would say don't get the p-d T-ai even though I've never tried it, given that SriPraPhai's brilliance provides opportunities to go beyond your usuals. read more

I came here many years ago when I was young and single. Now that I'm married and older, I thought I would eat less, but forget about it! Lol! I forgot to come back but didn't forget to eat lol. So when Hubby's friends mentioned it, we decided to dine with them here, and we ordered like we hadn't eaten for days lol. This time we ordered two whole red snappers with two different sauces. So delicious! Definitely will return for the same dish, fish in ginger sauce. Surprised! We returned for lunch many more times after this and also came here when no other restaurants opened on Christmas and New Year's Day. The restaurant is huge! They have a front dining area, and the backyard dining area is huge as well. They put up a nice fountain with floral decoration, so it looks magical. Just don't eat the flowers. So be ready. Come hungry because the place won't disappoint you. Great owner and service too. Highly recommended, the best traditional Thai restaurant! read more

Beautiful space! I haven't been here in ages. Loved their food way back then so once there was this event here that I was invited to I definitely wanted to come back. Because it was a private event they provided bento boxes. Service was super fast & nice! Definitely going back in future! They had a beautiful backyard but it was a bit cold and drizzly. However space was tight inside so thankfully just sat outside to eat when rain stopped. Happened to see a busy bee in one of their real flowers working hard in the cold! read more

I have to share some continued love for SriPhaPhai. After all these years, they have remained a top destination for Thai food in the area (and maybe the whole city) and always deliver on the quality. I visited again for the first time in about 4 years and their interior has been remodeled to be brighter and more open. And of course they easily accept credit cards, Apple Pay, etc. now. The service is wonderful and speedy. You will never go wrong with a visit her and grabbing any of their noodle dishes - my faves. read more

This is a place where you have to know what to order on the menu to really appreciate it. Get the morning glory, it's delicious and the perfect balance of crispiness and savory. The egg omelette is also an amazing, local favorite that is inexpensive relative to the other Thai places you might find in the city. We came in with a big party, and they were able to accommodate despite being pretty busy already. The waiters are constantly on their feet attending to your needs and questions. read more

So glad I found this place! It's conveniently located in Woodside, Queens a block off of the main road. We were looking for a good spot for dinner, and I came across this cool spot. We love Thai, and were so glad this place was open and has a variety of entrees. They have a gorgeous, updated interior, and they have a beautiful outdoor covered patio with a water fountain. We sat outside, and it was such a relaxing place. We had pineapple juice, dumplings, pork salad, chive pancakes, pork belly, shrimp, coconut rice, chicken, Thai jelly and Thai ice cream. I absolutely loved all of the food we had; it was so fresh and flavorful. I would definitely order these dishes again, but I would love to try more of their options. They have an array of delicious food on their menu, and the food at nearby tables looked amazing well. The servers were friendly and attentive too; I can't wait to come back here and try more of their food! read more

The decorations are so pretty & they have a very detailed menu. The vegetarian dish pages are all green! Love the differentiation. We went for dessert only. When we informed the server, she told us we have to order a lot since the table was opened for us? There were plenty of empty seats, so I don't see why we were told to order a lot. We felt compelled to order an appetizer, but we didn't since we just had lunch. My friend was planning on ordering entree to go anyway. I think she got drunken noodles to go. She also got (3/5) "SD-8 -THAI ICED COFFEE WITH MILK OR ALMOND MILK OR COCONUT MILK- $4.66, which was butter even with milk. She didn't like it. For dessert, she got (3/5, $6.21) Thai tea ice cream, which was too sweet. The tapioca and the ice cream are too sweet. We also got: coffee, (4/5, $6.21 ) D-1 (B) - LYCHEE ICE CREAM- (slightly sour & sweet since it's sorbet, comes with lychee on top) , 3/5 lava cake which turned into chocolate soufflé since it was over baked, very dense, & (3/5) pumpkin custard. read more

We decided to try this place for a casual work meeting. A few important things to note off the bat: 1. This place is NOT cash only as of Dec 2024. They take credit cards but charge more per dish (essentially a small credit card fee). The website says it's cash only (I don't like it when business websites are outdated.). 2. They open at 11:30 am so if you show up early and the weather sucks, too bad. You'll be waiting outside until 11:30 am with no cover. With that said, overall it was a good experience. I went with a small group of 3. We placed our orders and food came out decently hot and relatively quickly. I asked for medium spice level and I'd say it was rather mild. So don't be afraid to go for a little more spice if that's how you roll. I would recommend the Drunken Noodles. The rice noodles are so tender. Love that consistency. The tom yum soup is exactly what you would expect. Tom yum is basically a Thai soup that combines hot, sour, and sweet. The shrimp was overcooked but that's expected when it's sitting in a blazing hot (temperature-wise) soup. I like tom yum. Some people absolutely hate it so if you're not sure what it is, keep your expectations open. Service was ok. Staff was nice. They kind of forgot to bring our drinks so we had to ask after the food came out. And for dessert, they didn't have the mango with sticky rice which was disappointing. If you're going to give me a dessert menu, you gotta tell me that the #1 on that menu isn't available. We ended up getting lychee sherbert and it was tasty. Restaurant was roomy and clean. I was actually quite impressed with the restroom. Cleanest one in New York City within 50 miles. Check it out for yourself. read more

The BEST Thai restaurant I have been to in the States. I was fortunate enough to go with a friend who is Thai and we left all the ordering to him. I am so glad we did because he got items my girlfriend and I never think to get, and he also told us the best way to pair the items, which we would have never considered! Dishes we indulged in: 1. Laab Ground Meat (chicken)- 10/10. Flavors spectacular and generous portion to share amongst our group of 3. 2. Fried catfish salad- really absorbed the flavors of the laab perfectly and was such a delightful texture addition to the laab. 3. Green curry with beef- flavors were on point and the meat was perfectly cooked. Our friend told us the best way to enjoy it was to poor over the omelet and my oh my this changed my life! 4. Kang Som Cha-Om Omelet- this may sound odd, but I don't like omelets because they tend to have that strong cooked fried egg flavor. But this omelet completely changed my stance on omelets. The flavors were so perfectly balanced and I was impressed by how enjoyable it was by itself. 5. Pad kee mao with beef- this is always one of my favorite items at Thai restaurants, but the one here was exceptional. The quality and portion of the food here was 20/10. Cannot wait to go back. Don't forget to bring cash- it's cash only! Bring a generous amount since you will want to try so many things (and it'll all be worth it). read more

I read a review about how this restaurant was the definition of "mid" and I'd have to agree. Came here on a Saturday a little before 7. Waited about five minutes to get a seat inside. The menu is absolutely huge and probably has most Thai dishes (both the popular to American staples to more localized dishes). Ordered the northern style Thai curry, dry egg noodle, and crispy Chinese watercress salad. The salad was probably my favorite. Liked the crispy bits of the fried watercress and good contrast with the sauciness of the mixed seafood/chicken it came with. Dry egg noodle was decent, although way too overly sweet in my opinion. Needed to ask for some pepper and vinegar to offset the flavors. The northern style Thai curry noodles were probably the most confusing. It was spicy which I liked, but also way too salty in my opinion (and I love salty food). Definitely very different from other curry I've had before. Not sure I really liked it though. Service was also a bit slow to get our check or water refill. The space itself is quite big and they have even more outdoor seating so I can see this being good for larger groups. It's definitely busy for what it's worth so they have to be doing something right. Maybe just didn't order the right items? read more

Ordered via Doordash- good packaging and decent flavor but protein was light compared to the noodles

A tremendous menu offering authentic Thai cuisine. Excellent dumplings, Panang dishes. Noodles. Fish and chicken and meat dishes all come with a varying amount of spiciness. The service is adequate and the restaurant decor is simple. This commentary is for the Williston Park restaurant. read more

First off: bring cash! Came here with friends for dinner on a Friday night and got seated immediately. The server originally took us to a table in an empty room but then was able to change us to the main room with more diners. The food was goood! The menu is a bit overwhelming but there are delicious and more rare options available: - fried soft shell crab (4/5): love me some soft shell crab! The batter was nice and crispy. - Tom yum soup (4.5/5): hard to make Tom yum stand out but there was just something to this one that was perfectly balanced and a good level of spice. - wide noodles with tofu and squid (4.5/5): delicious - green curry (3.5/5): it was standard, this one didn't stand out to me but it was a exactly what you expect from a green curry. - longan juice (4/5) - be warned it is very sweet but they add fresh longan which I appreciated. The service and vibe was pretty low frills. I heard the backyard is great in warmer months! Also they had awesome take out desserts near the entrance, will have to go back and try some! read more

We came because my out of town friend was a regular here when she lived in NY. The food was so so. Overused of fish sauce and sugar. The sautéed dishes were very watery and overcooked. The portion were also very small. Service was the worst. Our waitress was rude and mean. We paid 80% of the bill in cash and 1 of my friend paid in card. She came and toss the money back to us and said we were short of the tip. We asked to clarify since we paid the amount listed on the bill with the suggested 18% tip. She told us to figure it out and drop the money on the table and walked away. We were perplexed and confused. I finally realized that because we paid with a card we owe the entire credit card amount and not the cash total, so in order words, we we short $2 of the SUGGESTED tip, but she made us add another 4% on tip of the 18% we already added. read more

Was super in the mood for Thai and had a tough time deciding where to go in the neighborhood, but am not displeased with our choice. The menu is super overwhelming and there are tons of options, so take a breath before you sit down. We started with the grilled pork neck, which was both perfectly crispy and tender. The flavoring on this was great. Next was the gai-kua noodles, which wasn't my favorite in terms of the flavoring but the squid was nice. The crispy pork basil is always a hit in my book and this was no different, would recommend trying this on the spicier end. Finished with the Panang curry with jasmine rice. While delicious and seasoned beautifully, I was hoping it would be just a bit spicier (we had asked for the spiciest so not sure if they do make it spicier or not). Thai tea also a nice addition to the meal overall. Of note, they are cash only. read more

My usually snack from SriPraPhai is their fried bananas. I was a bit disappointed this time bc it was cold and the other times, I got really lucky and it was hot. It is the best when hot. For $5, this isn't a snack you can get anywhere in NYC. It's sweet with sesame and coconut. I will heat it back up in the toaster or air fryer to bring it back to life. Also, they don't have this every time, only if it's your lucky day. read more

SriPraPhai Thai Restaurant - Eaten Fried banana - Thai Near Me - Woodside, New York

My first introduction to SriPraPhai, was when an Irish colleague from three jobs ago irrevocably stated that we didn't know Thai food until we had eaten here. This is a hike if you live in manhattan. Which is why it took me this long to eat here. And even now, it was takeout. To begin from the moment that I thanked the seamless delivery person and opened the takeout bag, the packing deserves a call out. It was immaculate with cardboard separators between every layer of food containers, double bagged in a brown paper bag and plastic takeout bag, held together with a zip tie. I mean, the details! Since this was my first time with authentic Thai, I ordered a bunch of dishes that were both comfort and new. Comfort dishes like chicken pad thai, drunken noodles and papaya salad were good. Albeit a bit on the sweeter side for my liking. The new dish (for me) was the Rad Na, which was seriously amazing. It is a Thai style chicken curry where you dunk the noodles and accoutrements like raw red onions, cilantro and picked something, in the curry soup. Think of a thick katsu style curry with a hint of sweetness but all the flavor. There were two types of thin egg noodles, cooked and crispy. The crispy noodles when soaked in the curry sauce becomes an al dente style ramen noodle which can be slurped up. SriPraPai will be on my asian food takeout list of places but I will keep to their more authentic offerings than the American Thai dishes. read more

For those of you who say you should not go out of your way to eat this, I disagree. This Thai food is some of the tastiest, well priced, perfectly portioned food you will find outside of Manhattan. It is worth the adventure to get here, and it is an adventure, unless you live in Queens. The restaurant gets busy around lunchtime, and it is not surprising why. Your food comes out very quick and it all feels right because the portion and size of what you get is worth it. The Tom Yum soup is great without compromising integrity, and the Drunken Noodle is equal parts noodle, meat, and vegetable. Thankfully the garlic is not overwhelming, and the spice is reasonable as well. I would rate this a 6 or 7 based on the average spice scale. If that does not do it for you, get a Thai Iced Tea, which is so delicious as well. Not too heavy on the milk, but it has solid flavor. Save this for your entree, especially if you order something spicy. If not for the cash only deal, I would have ordered more. However, I guess it is a good thing it is cash only. It keeps you from overeating and also allows you to come back for more, later. In that case, I will be returning here for another adventure. read more

I don't know if it's because I ordered through Wonder, but it was one of the worst Pad Thai I've ever had. Just awful, and I'm not a picky person.

No bean sprouts, and there was some flavor that I can't exactly identify, but it just wasn't good. read more

Ambiance (5/5): There's indoor and outdoor dining. The back outdoor dining is a courtyard nested between apartment buildings and has a fake garden surrounding it and decorated water fountain. I loved it! Service (4/5): They are extremely busy so expect slower wait times for service and food prep. However, it'll be worth your wait. CASH ONLY. Food: The food is absolutely worth the wait. Downside is that the entrees don't come with rice. Panang Curry (5/5): Super rich in flavor!! There's a nice spice to it! I can eat this all day. Coconut Rice goes perfectly with the curry. Drunken Noodles (4/5): Very silky. read more

Haven't been here in years and I feel like this place has gone downhill! I started with the time yum soup. Very sour but a decent broth. Only 2 small shrimp in the very small bowl. Over priced imo. For my main, I ordered the duck with basil and chilli sauce. It was ok overall but the sauce was lacking. My lady ordered the watercress salad to start. The watercress was over fried and dry. The seafood was in a side sauce that I found to be awful. For her main, she ordered the whole red snapper. It looked like they fried it for three days! The fish was so dry it was inedible! The service was not great either. Out waitress never checked on us once throughout the meal. We had to flag down other servers for water and napkins. Won't be returning. read more
