Spring Rolls
Felicia H.

I stumbled on this restaurant in a corner nook of the shopping center in Selden, New York. I went in and there was a sign that said 'no duck sauce, we are not Chinese food, We are Thai food'. I thought that was quite comical. I scanned the menu to find delicious foods and it did not disappoint. The counter person was exceptionally helpful and extremely friendly & he was patient as I ordered. I ordered spring rolls along with chicken wonton soup. The food was delicious. The wontons were plentiful, and the soup was plentiful as well, each loaded with lots of vegetables. I would definitely return.

The staff is here is very friendly. I come frequently and they always remember me. I am vegan and they accommodate that when I place my order. I enjoy everything on the menu that I have tried this far. The mango with sticky rice is my favorite dessert and the masaman curry is my favorite entree. They have some special menu items that you won't find at other Thai restaurants or cafes so I definitely recommend it.

Fried Thai dumpling
Meri L.

Wow....don't walk...RUN to Thai Shack East. After hearing multiple reviews on Facebook over the last few months I finally made it here and it was absolutely worth the wait. My boyfriend and I started with Thai dumplings. They were delish and had a generous filling. They have steamed and fried available. We opted for fried. They weren't greasy at all. They were perfect. I ordered garlic sauté with shrimp. It was amazing in flavor! So much flavor in every bite. Generous portion of shrimp and veggies. I got it with medium spice and it was perfect! My boyfriend ordered Pad woonsen with beef. After each bite he kept saying how good it was. The owners/chef who I believe are also husband and wife spoke to us and made great small talk. They were very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely return and try more things on the menu!

Woonsen Pad Thai

My usual Thai restaurant was closed so I decided to order from Thai Shack East restaurant. I ordered the Woonsen Pad Thai which is shrimp and chicken but was lost finding any of that in my swamp of noodles. The noodles are not your usual pad Thai noodles, they are vermicelli noodles (they came stuck together all gelatinous) shrimp and chicken that I did find were underwhelming.

Thai dumplings

10/10 - typically a take out place but they do have seats and tables to eat. The Thai shack wings are delicious a must order. We also love the pad thai with beef, chicken and shrimp and Thai dumplings. They also have Thai iced tea available. The owner is always kind and helpful, i would def eat here again.

Chicken pad Thai
Kevin C.

Tried this place for the first time last night. It is conveniently located in a parking lot shared with other big name stores like Target and Home Depot. Walking in, it has a few aesthetics to give it that Thai feel, but more or less, it's like a Thai take out with tables you can just eat your orders there. There are no wait service or anything which isn't our priority anyway. The pro is that the owner and cook are from Thailand. However, the food is somewhat regular. Nothing to wow on really. I had the chicken pad Thai and while the noodles are not clumpy and cooked well, the chicken is a bit of a miss. It doesn't have that succulent taste to it and somewhat bland. My wife had the drunken noodle with chicken and they did cook to her specification, which was mild. She wasn't too impressed with it and felt it was more on the oily side. Based on today's visit, we would give it 3 stars. Nothing more.

Yay finally a thai food in our town and bonus its good! Expensive but the food is good. We got the pad see ew with beef and the beef was nice and tender. The kylie fried rice is different but yummy as well. The curry puff was delicious. We will definitely need to try some other dishes next time!

Medium Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai  Coconut Soup   Thai Iced Tea

It took me 10 years living in NY to officially have a "Thai Spot"! Such a warm and inviting atmosphere! My Shrimp Pad Thai has the prefect about of heat! My Thai Iced Tea was official and my Coconut Soup was everything! Outstanding Service! The Mother and Daughter Duo who run this restaurant are an absolute delight! Chef's Kiss! I shall return. Soon for sure!

They look delicious don't they... good luck eating them, they are hard and rubbery!
James F.

Not sure why there are so many good reviews. I ordered three appetizers, and two main dishes, costing almost $69, and not one thing in this order was worth the amount I paid ... the dumpling's filling was hard and rubbery, and tasted like stale meatballs. The pad Thai was surprisingly and nauseatingly sweet. The Green Curry Chicken was rubbery also! I could go on... but suffice to say, I will not be visiting this place again!

Love love love the portion size here. It's exactly what I am expecting when I spend $12 on a dish,…read moreother Thai restaurants are JOKING with their small portions (that are probably meant for children). I've been here twice and gotten the Pad See Yu both times, first with chicken and then with beef. I was not crazy about the chicken so I decided to spend the extra on the beef and it definitely improved the dish. My friends often get the pad thai and spicy basil fried rice with chicken. I've had a bite of their food and they're also pretty good, but I'm very loyal to pad see yu. The way they make it here tastes just like my mother's so it reminds me of home. I tried their tom yum soup and it was decent but a bit too pricey in my opinion. It was a pretty small cup for $5. Other than that, I think this place is great and I'm so glad my friends recommended it to me 'cause I crave thai food every other day.

Came here after reading good things about this place when my local Thai restaurant was closed…read more Called in my order (take out is recommended). I was not disappointed! Had the Thai Pepper Steak and the Pad WooSen with shrimp. All the food was fresh and homemade. Started with the veggie gyoza (the dipping sauce was uniquely delicious). The portions were generous with veggies and the steak was cooked to perfection. The price was right. Friendly service. Great location near the Smith Haven mall. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous experience here at Sup…read more First time here and it did not disappoint. We went in totally blind, checked out the menu and figured we should of course start with the apps. We ordered spring rolls, short ribs, shrimp toast, and chicken wings. A glass of wine and a strawberry flavored jasmine tea. First, let me tell you the shrimp toast is like no other shrimp toast I've ever had. Clearly this is next level next level shrimp toast and I dare you to give it a try. You'll never order it again from your local Chinese food restaurant. I really never knew that's what shrimp was supposed to taste like. They must have some sort of secret. The wings are the crispiest of the crispiest, but just take a bite and you get the tender juicy jaw dropping mouth full of love. Yes.. the best wing ever. The short ribs, so wonderfully tender with the complex base. Can't go wrong there. After trying the spring rolls you'll definitely pause, you recognize this is like no other spring roll you've ever had . It's uniquely different, light & flaky not greasy, delicate little roll of heaven. This place is a win-win, the decor is beautiful light and airy and the service is next level excellent. It's a must try.

Mid week dinner and this place was busy. Had the pho sizzle and shared an appetizer of crispy…read morespring rolls.
