    Singapore curry puff
    Polly H.

    It's beautiful inside with the dangling vines and clean counters, and it's in Woodside. It's a bit cozy, but it shares a space with Madame tea cafe. I love those Singapore curry puffs. What else stood out? I had the thief salad and the flavors were tart and sour and I felt it was okay. What an interesting blend of ingredients! Sweet sausage, fish balls, hot dog, grilled chicken, cut up grape tomatoes, onions, lettuce. Another thing we decided to order was the Jurassic chicken which was deep fried chicken with some pieces of fatty goodness and presented so beautifully. It was not bad. The waiter was super sweet, and he checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I would return and try more. I just felt like trying something new.

    I'm not sure why their website isn't working. It directs me to a site in Indonesian. Anyways, it isn't the restaurant site. So, I could only check out the menu on Yelp. I hoped that it was the most updated one. It was so that was good. The ambiance, or rather the decoration, was fairly nice. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and very large. It could've been two stalls if you think about it. I'm not sure why a single person bathroom should be so big. Started off with two appetizers. One was the tofu popcorn, and the second one was the Crispy wontons. I didn't particularly like both, but if I had to choose, I would pick the tofu popcorn as the sauce way at the bottom with the peanuts was on point. For the entree, I got something from the section called - something so special. In it got the Pad mixed seafood with the spicy Thai herbs. I asked for spicy, and it tasted medium, so I had to ask for more hot sauce on the side to mix it in. I felt bad for the server as there was only one for the entire place. They needed more servers as she was sweating up a storm. Tried to get dessert, but they ran out. Oh wells! I don't think I'll be returning as there are many Thai places that are much better.

    Beef pad Thai was marvelous, with a bevy of different flavors and visually appealing. The sweet sausage salad had tasty slices.

    Extremely Disappointing Dining Experience I recently visited this establishment for dinner, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. From start to finish, it was a series of disappointments that ultimately made the evening memorable for all the wrong reasons. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted with an ambiance that seemed promising, but the initial impression quickly faded as the evening unfolded. The troubles began with the service--or lack thereof. Throughout the entire evening, we only had one server attending to all the tables. And the restaurant was not even busy. The only customer was our group of 7 adults and 3 children, 1 couple by the windows table and another couple next to our table. This resulted in prolonged waits for even basic requests, such as taking our orders and bringing water to the table. The real frustration, however, was the food service. Our orders came out with a noticeable 10-15 minute gap between dishes. This not only disrupted the flow of our meal but also meant that some of us had finished our food while others were still waiting for their plates to arrive. Upon requesting multiple times if the food can come together, the server added his statement that they have only 2 kitchen staff at the moment. Which I understand totally but if you have let us know before hand that way we will be prepared for the consequences. It's disheartening to say that this kind of service is far from what one expects when dining out. Equally disappointing was the quality of the food itself. While we didn't anticipate a gourmet experience, we did hope for flavors that would at least match the price point of the menu items. Sadly, the dishes we sampled were merely average--lacking the depth and finesse that would justify the cost. When we decided to provide feedback about our experience, we were met with an unexpected and unwelcome attitude from both the owner and the lone server. Instead of addressing our concerns with professionalism and a willingness to improve, they responded defensively and even retaliated, casting a shadow over our willingness to give constructive criticism. In conclusion, our visit to this establishment was a major letdown. The subpar service, prolonged gaps between dishes, and average food quality all contributed to an evening that fell well below our expectations. It's unfortunate when a dining experience becomes a negative memory, but we hope that our feedback might encourage the restaurant to take steps towards improvement in the future.

    Crispy Papaya Salad
    Patrick K.

    We had a good lunch here, i would have preferred it, if it was more spicy like other Thai restaurants in our neighborhood. The service was good and the ambiance of the restaurant is nice. We shared the crispy papaya salad, beef salad and pork soup.

    I have my usual spots for Thai food, but heard great things about this spot and wanted to give it a try (pre-quarantine days, of course) For appetizers we got the wings and curry puff which were both fantastic. The wings were kinda tiny, but you get a lot in an order so definitely shareable. I've been eyeing the crispy papaya salad photos from yelp for the longest time ever. However, personally, was a bit too much for me. I was hoping there was half fresh papaya on the bottom but the whole dish is fried. If we haven't overordered already I would've totally ordered another papaya salad and mixed them together. We also got the soft shell crab in green curry (which was amazing, albeit a bit pricey) and drunken noodle (kee mao). Great flavor profile in both. Drinks: thai Iced tea which was a refreshing drink for any spicy dish you may order :) their special Thai iced tea comes with your regular Thai tea and milk, but the ice is frozen Thai tea and you get whipped cream on top.

    Veggie pad khee mao
    Tania S.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. There are so many thai places in this neighborhood, it's hard to differentiate yourself and stand out. But stand out they did. I was expecting your average takeout quality, but this place really seemed to put a little extra care into their food. In an attempt to make slightly healthier takeout choices, I got the kao mun khai (steamed) and veggie pad kee mao. The veggies in the noodle dish were abundant and seasoned perfectly. The noodles themselves had the ideal texture and the egg added another layer of flavor. I didn't miss the meat at all and thoroughly enjoyed the dish. The chicken was really good as well. The sauce on the side had some tanginess to it. The rice was delicious, even by itself. Overall, an excellent meal. Dare I say, I think I've found my new go-to thai spot.

    oxtail soup! I asked for flat noodles to go with it and it was a v v v good idea.
    Linda S.

    Honestly, I've been taking my friends/fam here often enough that I don't know why it's taken until now for me to update my review!! Specifically, I LOVE the oxtail soup (I ask for flat noodles on the side) and ALL THE LARBS but particularly the larb salad and their loaded salads in general. But honestly, I have never had a bad dish off the menu and that's saying a lot! This might seem random but one of my favvvvvorite things to order is the tofu popcorn appetizer: I think it's just an incredible combination of crispy, fresh, crunchy, tangy, and sweet from the tamarind, butter, crushed peanuts, and herbs. SO worth it. All in all, TCP is my favorite kind of restaurant to support: a family-run business that's been in the neighborhood for a really long time. It started as a grocery, and now as a restaurant. It's a pleasure to see it evolving (particularly with new additions for dessert and specials) over the years. TCP does a really good job of being beautifully decorated while also staying true to being a homey, comfortable, and welcoming place to eat.

    Best Thai homecooking! My hubby saw the recommendation on one of the TV station 5-6 years ago and we decided to give it a try. Thank god we did! We've been frequent this joint since then. It used to be a Thai grocery with a few seating, and recently they have expended and eliminated the grocery and put more seating. I can't think of one dish that wasn't good. If you like Thai food, go for it!

    I have been avoiding it before when I used to live in the area. And then suddenly I was inspired to eat Northern Thailand food after all the happy news of finding the soccer team who went spelunking then got lost. Food will be the best way to celebrate this good news. It's still an ongoing ordeal but this is my gesture of showing I'm with Thailand on this My favorite Issan dish is the super spicy khao soi so I ordered it. We also tried the blue crab dish and the crunchy popcorn tofu! All came out good but the service is rather drab because the wait was so long. I didn't mind the wait though because the ambience is relaxed and I felt right at home in their cavernous and well-designed space. I have been to Chiang Mai and the feeling of the restaurant is like being transported back to Northern Thailand. As I always say, if a restaurant's food and ambience work together to transport me to foreign lands, then it means they are doing very well! Must try in Queens.

    Very disappointing. All three main dishes were bland and tasteless. Even the papaya salad was subpar.

I only had the soup there and took the entire lunch special to go. Just based off of the soup, I will be going back. It was delicious and PACKED to the MAX! Writing this now, I can still imagine. Drunken Noodles were also really tasty. I like mine spicy and it could have been made spicier, but that's not even a real complaint.

That's not an exaggeration. What's even more baffling is the location. In the heart of Queens, surrounded by Thai restaurants serving bold, vibrant, unapologetically flavorful food, Zaab Zaab somehow manages to be a culinary desert. The fried rice was bland, the drunken noodles were lifeless, and the pad kra pao lacked the punch, basil, heat, and savoriness that define the dish. It honestly felt as though the menu had been engineered for diners who think black pepper is adventurous. Instead of authentic Thai flavors, everything seemed toned down to the point of being unrecognizable. For a restaurant with this reputation, the meal was a massive letdown. There are countless nearby Thai restaurants that deliver the bold, aromatic flavors Thailand is known for. Save your money and your appetite for one of them.

Unlike restaurant versions which are often poached and include bones, the Hainanese Chicken Rice sold in these shops exclude the bones, and adds sides of rice and chicken soup.

We often just pick up a Set A for 1 (currently for $12.99; $14.14 with tax and by cash), and complement that with dishes from other nearby restaurants -- there are a wealth of excellent options, some even on the same block. The spicy ginger sauce -- the "secret sauce" that distinguishes Eim from its competitors, might be an acquired taste, but it is quite an addicting kick. The spicy ginger sauce also helps mask some overcooking issues. Fans take note that Eim recently began to offer its spicy ginger sauce for sale separately, for $10.89 plus tax for a 12-ounce bottle. Eim keeps to a street food motif with a preparation area that looks like a street cart, and by wrapping take-out orders in butcher's paper.
