Staff were super friendly and accommodating! The food was delicious. I was craving crab rangoons and was so excited to see it on the menu. Only the zabb wings were a little disappointing. They were packed with flavor from the spices but the chicken itself was very fried and dry. It still tasted good but would have preferred it to be more juicy. read more

Finally tried Thai Social! I always pass by this restaurant on my way from Queens to Long Island and vice versa. The place always seem popping with its chic outdoor dining area. The neighborhood is quite diverse with the types of stores and cuisines for the restaurants in the area so I was not sure if it would be authentic Thai food or not. The restaurant is located on a big street where several bus lines run, but it is very easy to find parking in the residential areas nearby. I came on a Tuesday evening and was able to find free parking directly in front after 7 pm. The location is Oakland Gardens which is a perfect in between Fresh Meadows and Bayside area. My friend and I decided to come here before our movie at AMC theatres. The place is quite small and they do accept reservations so I highly recommend making one. Amongst the 6 of us, we shared 4 appetizers and we each got our own entrees. It was the perfect amount of food. For appetizers, we ordered the zaab Chicken wings (4 pieces), chicken skewers (4 sticks), curry puff (3 pieces), and the fried calamari. The zaab Chicken wings are a perfect Thai Chile lime dried rub that is so delicious! I was reluctant to order the chicken skewers, but my friend really wanted to try. I was shocked! It was on par with my favorite chicken Satay from my favorite Malay restaurant. Perfectly tender with the perfect peanut dipping sauce. The curry puff is very good as well with a perfect amount of curry spice and potatoes filling. The fried calamari was decent - no complaints! As for entrees, we all ordered something a bit different. I was in between 4 different entrees and I'm glad my friends ended up ordering some of it so I got to try. The pad Thai, pad see ew, and crab fried rice are standard with full flavors. The basil fried rice was very smokey and good. The tom yum Noodle Soup is also very flavorful with lots of char Siew type of meat and ramen type noodle. Lastly, we were all pretty stuffed but we wanted to try the mango sticky rice so we shared amongst the 6 of us. It is a seasonal item (usually summer) and the rice comes in a beautiful butterfly pea purple-blue color. The mangoes are perfectly riped with a rice crunch and coconut drizzle. It was so good! And forgot to mention - we did order the Thai iced tea and it met my expectations (especially when I asked for less milk!) The Thai iced coffee has an interesting chocolatey after taste to it. My friends liked that it was strong. Would definitely be back if I'm craving some Thai Food! read more

Great service, decent food, and cute interior. We orderer the calamari and the papaya salad as appetizers. Relatively small portion size for this area.

More like 3.5 instead of 4. We got take out on a Tuesday. They were doing a brisk business on takeout. I ordered my usual Thai dish, pad se ew. I got it with the faux duck. We also ordered the Pad Kra Pow medium spice. The spice level wasn't a choice on the takeout ordering system but we requested it in the requests. They accommodates us. The pad se ew was on the salty side. It may be fine for normal palates but for me it was very salty. Not bad enough to stop eating but saltier as I continued eating. The Pad Kra Pow was good but not spectacular. Overall ok. Street parking only read more

Beautiful space, great curry and bar. Perfect for a lunch date. Staff seats you quickly.

The food is so good. Pretty decor. It would be 5 stars if only servers knew serving etiquette. Like never reach over my food to retrieve a dirty napkin. Or how about not reaching over food, period. Server must of done this like 4x. Appreciate the effort, but taking away plate when the second I put the last fork in mouth was quirky esp since restaurant was half empty. And please dont stand beside table, when Im still looking at menu. Otherwise I would come back and maybe say something if it happens again. read more

One of my favorite Thai spots in the area. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, this place really stands out with their amazing food, creative cocktail list, and excellent service. I have come only for the lunch specials and each time I have been more than satisfied. Generous portions with a soup or salad and an appetizer. The drunken noodles and pad Thai are outstanding, the crispy pork belly is quite heavenly and when available, the mango sticky rice is a perfect way to end the meal. Their cocktail list is seasonal however, everyone I have tried has been spectacular. Ample Street parking, clean bathrooms, and comfortable seating. read more

"Trying something new In the neighborhood Where you gonna go? Thai Social! If you're licking your lips 'Cause it tastes so good Who you gonna call? Thai Social!" Did that sound like the Ghostbusters song? We came in on Halloween night and the staff were dressed in costume, as were many customers. It was a packed house, but turnover was constant and the hostess was able to squeeze us in with no reservation. She said that we'd have to be done by 8pm, since she said there was a reserved party coming in. We said no problem, we'll order quick and eat even quicker. A lot of Thai restaurants have been popping up lately, but what makes Thai Social stand out is their menu that not only includes many standard dishes like Pad Thai & Pad Se Ew, but also the chef's special creations. For this first time, I wanted to try dishes that are not run-of-the-mill. We started with the Snow Mushrooms appetizer, which was a spring roll wrap around a cluster of beech mushrooms and deep fried. It was very tasty, especially with the sweet chili dipping sauce. There are 5 pieces meant for a larger group, so it was a little much for just the 2 of us, but no complaints because we were hungry. The Kai Toon Talay was up next with squid rings & shrimp on top of a steamed egg omelet in a spicy sauce simmering on top of an open flame. You need the Jasmine rice because it is a very rich and heavy dish. The Khao Soi Gai is a chicken leg in a similar spicy sauce on a bed of ramen noodles and topped with a cake of crunchy deep fried thin noodles. I wish it was all crunchy noodles because the ramen noodles were a little soggy. Even though the drumstick was pretty big, it was just one piece. A whole thigh/drumstick quarter would have been more generous. We finished our meal in the allotted time and can't wait to go back to try some of the standard dishes, as well as to explore the rest of the specials menu. read more

Wanted to try out a new Thai spot. Got the lad se ew with chicken. Chicken is an additional $1. Food was good just a little oily in comparison to what I've had. Service was really good. They were attentive but not annoyed. Also they able outdoor seating as well as a little covered out door seating. There was plenty of parking around (free and paid) read more

Thai Social has been on my list of places to go for a very long time. I've read rave reviews and seen great foodie photos, so I was excited to finally go! 5 of us met for a late Saturday lunch, and I honestly wasn't blown away. I've had much better Thai food elsewhere; especially in Elmhurst. These are the dishes we shared: -- Zabb Wings ($12/4pcs): these wings were great; albeit a little pricey for 4 little wings. -- Fried whole fish w.Mango Salad ($38): the fish was small and slightly overcooked but the mango salad was good. -- Short Rib Panang ($30): the tender beef short rib was pretty good but the sauce was a little weak. It was also served with sweet potatoe fries, which was a little strange, but tasty. -- Duck Curry ($29): the duck was a little dry/overcooked, and the sauce was very mild & watery; bordering on bland. Disappointing. -- Pad See Ew w.Chicken ($18): this was my fave dish. Had great wok hei & flavor. Very satisfying dish. -- Thai Iced Coffee ($5): I asked for it not too sweet, and this was very good. Customer service was friendly and efficient. Restaurant had nice ambiance. Street parking in the neighborhood wasn't too bad. I was able to park down the block. But make sure you read the parking rules. read more

Food was fine but service and the attentiveness was NOT good. They seated us right next to the bathroom when there were plenty of other seats available. (I think to make it look like there were a lot of people sitting from the windows outside) but why the hell am i sitting in front of the bathroom?? And then she was cleaning the table next door - the cleaning liquid went into my sister in law's mouth and her plate of food. We brought it up to the waitress and she blamed it on the fan .... R U SERIOUS Zabb wings: (1/10) 5 pieces of DRY WINGS with ramen packet seasoning. Curry puffs: (4/10) 3 pieces of DRY curry puffs... too little sauce Chicken pad thai (7.5/10): probably the best thing Soft shell crab with mango salad (5/10): its $30 and honestly a disappointment - 2 pieces of soft shell crab and some greens for $30 is criminal Beef short rib panang (5/10): way too little curry. It was barely coating the surface of the plate. Beef was good and tender but isnt this a curry? read more

Thai Social is minutes away from my house, although in the past I've driven to Great Neck for Wild Figs Thai food. Which was delicious. Then I found out that the Thai restaurant by me has the same excellent food and in some ways surpassed Wild Fig. As of June 24th Wild Fig closed it's doors after 23 years and I hope their many customers give Thai Social a chance for their amazing foods flavor and preparation. My go to dish here is always always the chicken pai tai amazing flavor and just the right amount of spices that just melt in your mouth. The staff here are all amazing and especially the owner who makes all her customers happy and feel welcomed. They serve way more items than my chicken pai tai and hopefully I can try each and every item that they have on the menue!! read more

We might have just found our new go-to spot for Thai food. We came here for lunch the other day and were very pleasantly surprised. Although it's a small restaurant, there were a good number of customers even during a late lunch, which is always a good sign. The decor in the back dining area is tasteful and not over the top, and the bar area, though small, looks welcoming. The staff were all smiling and incredibly friendly. As for the food, we ordered the papaya salad, curry puffs, shrimp pad se ew, green curry, and the beef garlic sauce lunch special, which came with chive pancakes and a salad. My wife asked for the papaya salad to be spicy, and wow--was it spicy. The heat lingered on my tongue long after. A pleasant surprise were the chive "pancakes"--and I say "pancakes" because they came in cube form. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and paired with an amazing soy dipping sauce. All the other dishes were delicious as well, packed with bold and present flavors. My only small critique would be that the pad se ew had a slight burnt taste, but it wasn't overwhelming. We're definitely coming back here again. read more

5 stars for the drinks and the food, which were all delicious. Was too full at the time of dinner to have the mango sticky rice dessert at the restaurant, but ordered one to go so I could have it back at home. Honestly glad I did - cause it was super delicious! Service could have been more welcoming and patient. The ambiance varies depending on where you sit within the restaurant. For a more cozy and intimate you want more towards the rear of the restaurant. Overall very casual. read more

Went to celebrate a birthday and unknowingly came in super close to closing time. Service was great and they even brought out a complementary dessert to celebrate. Food came out extremely fast and was well cooked Short rib was super tender and the sauce was sweet and nutty Pineapple fried rice was different and had curry powder it added a lot of depth to the rice Steamed fish was recommended over the fried and it was a great choice - the sauce was tangy similar to tom yum. the appetizers... amazing calamari was SO SO GOOD but the zabb wings take the crown... the wings were COATED with the spice which other places don't do. Overall 10/10 and will be back read more

The staff was very kind and helpful. Our waitress made some recommendations. She even offered to take our photo We loved everything we ordered. My husband and I came for a lunch date. He ordered a passion fruit frozen margarita and I ordered the Siam Sunset cocktail. Both were delicious. To start we had the crab and pork roll that came with a sweet sauce. We also had a stewed beef and sweet potato roti with massaman curry. Both were super fresh and flavorful. My softshell crab over mango salad was delightful. Lots of freshness and flavor. My husband ordered seafood noodles with Thai basil. It was a big portion and packed with fresh seafood. So delicious. I loved the decor too. They make the most out of a small space. I definitely want to come back for more. read more

I went here for lunch with my family and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. First and foremost, many thanks to our waiter Tyler for being so patient and attentive (especially with my Mom's one too many questions). We all got the lunch special- I highly recommend the chive pancakes for the appetizer as they're quite chewy and tasty. For our mains, we got two different protein variations of the drunken noodles, pad thai, and the pineapple fried rice. Everything was tasty and the portions aforementioned in my prior review are very reasonable. I loved the generous amount of basil and cashews in the noodles and rice respectively as well. All in all, my parents are already planning their next visit to this place and I can't blame them- it is great. read more

Disclaimer: This is an order thru DoorDash I've never been inside the restaurant so I can't speak for service/ ambiance.. maybe one day I'll visit. So I ordered 3 things off their menu; basil fried rice w/ shrimp & their Thai wings with sweet chlli sauce & simply Thai iced tea for my drink. For starters The Food is very pricey but what isnt these days?. For those 3 items I paid $42. The rice was amazing tho super fresh; I received it piping hot & it had great flavor with just the right amount of spice loved it. Including the shrimp it was cooked to perfection. Now as for everything else it was just mid for me. I've even had better Thai iced tea & I loveeeee me a good Thai tea, but maybe bc my preference was for it to be sweeter. & usually I don't have to request that. I did not enjoy the wings like AT ALL. They were super bland, chewy & not even the sauce it came with could save it. Plus the portions for the food is small. Esp for the amount you pay for. But my food did come pretty quick & it was packaged well. Appreciate that. It Had tamper proof seal & tape over my drink & food was stapled in brown paper bags read more

This review is long overdue because this Thai restaurant is exactly what our neighborhood needed. Before they opened, there really wasn't a spot that had both the cute ambience and the great food. The vibe here is perfect for date night especially the outdoor seating, which is tucked away from the avenue so you can actually enjoy a quiet meal. The staff are always so kind and attentive. My husband goes through water quickly and his glass has literally never sat empty. That level of service says it all. Food wise, you can't go wrong. My husband is loyal to the pineapple fried rice with chicken, while I am partial to the pad kra pao with tofu and extra veggies, this time I got it with shrimp (bonus: they offer brown rice). Spring rolls, dumplings, calamari all consistently great appetizers. And if you're lucky enough to snag mango sticky rice for dessert, don't skip it. Drinks are another highlight. Every single cocktail is as cute as it is delicious. I usually go for the passionfruit mojito, but the frozen passionfruit margarita I tried last time was just as amazing. This place deserves way more than 5 stars. We're so glad it's here. read more

Food was delicious! First time trying this spot, I would definitely return. I did not dine in but did take out. The space is very quaint and small. I believe they prefer you make reservations since they asked this to everyone coming in. You would want to nonetheless its a tight spot. I ordered the Pad See Ew, Curry Puffs, Thai Wings and Thai Iced Tea. The Thai Iced Tea was the best I've ever tasted and I order this drink every thai restaurant I dine in. The Curry Puffs were great actually had an even balance of chicken and potatoes. The Pad See Ew was in a delectable sauce that complemented the entree well. I will definitely return to this location to try other options and dine in. Stay tuned in. read more

Parking was easy (metered parking right there, residential parking close by). The restaurant is a decent size, with a couple tables outdoor (was too chilly for that when I went). Service was friendly and quick. The food came out quick too! The Mango Salad had a lot of fresh mango and crisp veggies, paired perfectly with the sour lime and spicy dressing. The Crab Meat Fried Rice had a decent amount of lump crab meat. The fried rice was cooked well. The Thai Chili sauce is needed for added flavor. The Beef Short Rib Panang was seriously fall off the bone tender! The sauce had a good kick and went great with rice. I did wish for more carrot (only 1) and less sweet potato fries, as the fries lose their texture from sitting in the sauce. The carrot fares much better in the sauce than the fries. A must get though! The Thai Iced Tea was not too sweet, which I enjoyed. Great Thai spot to check out if you're in the area. I would come back for the Beef Short Rib Panang, and to try their other dishes. They do also have an extensive alcohol list! read more

This spot had the best Thai food I've ever had. The flavors were bold but not overpowering. I love the variety of textures they played with in some of the dishes. Chive pancakes - Very nostalgic texture. Similar to Chinese turnip cakes or Korean jeon. Crispy on the outside but gooey on the inside. Beef Short Rib Panang - Flesh fell right off the bone. The sauce/curry was savory and paired so well with the rice. The sweet potatoes on the side reminded me of sweet potato fries, not that it was a bad thing. Loved having the sweetness to kinda balance out the dish. Khao Soi Curry Noodles - I enjoyed the crispy bits of fried noodle on top the regular one. The curry was beautiful and coated the noodles and drumstick nicely. Like the beef rib dish, meat came right off the bone. So tender. Staff was attentive and polite. Restaurant was clean. There was no rush and crowd like with the restaurants in the city, so you can take your time to enjoy your food and company. read more

Decided to come here for lunch since we haven't had Thai food in years ever since our favorite place closed on LI. This one is located in a part of Queens we rarely come to, but there are both residential and metered parking, which is convenient. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, & the staff were super friendly and attentive. We got the honey bbq pork spare ribs, both the zabb and Thai wings to start, as well as a Thai iced tea (must get) For our entrées, we got the drunken noodles with beef and pad Thai with shrimp, which also came with a complimentary soup or salad & a choice of appetizer. We chose the steam chicken & shrimp dumplings- they look like shumai. All the food came out quick, tasted authentic, cooked to perfection, and the flavor was on point. Service was beyond amazing as well, with new dishes, water refills, and servers always around without even having to ask for help. We ended our lunch with a mango sticky rice dessert to go. It was really good but small- not enough for 2 ppl to share imo. If you're in the Bayside area and looking for good, authentic Thai food, definitely give Thai Social a try :) read more

We ordered a few appetizers which were mushroom steamed dumplings, crab ragoon, spicy wings, and spring rolls! All were delicious and full of flavor!

I am a long time customer here, but today I had an awful experience. I asked for a drunken noodle with tofu and vegetable. I don't eat meat for religious reasons. They accidentally gave me chicken and I did not realize as I've never had chicken. When I realized, they first asked if they could add vegetables to my plate and move the chicken to the side. Then they corrected it, bur I had already had the chicken. When we got the bill, the very disrespectful and rude hostess tried guilted me and said they couldn't comp my vegetable noodles because then it would be taken out of the waitress's paycheck. Absolutely unacceptable, disrespectful service and management to their employees. My friends and I go often, we are no longer going and will be telling our other friends how they treat their staff. read more
