    Spring Rolls
    Brandon G.

    I was over in the neighborhood on Chandler Street, and needed some dinner. As my friend said, I picked up an old classic and something new to me. I got the Pad Ka Pow with pork and an order of the spring rolls. The service was so fast here and friendly. I got my food to go and it was still piping hot when I got home 15 minutes later. This is quite the meal with a large portion of rice in the main dish and five spring rolls. It was delicious from start to finish. Each dish came with an extra sauce to use or dip into. The spring rolls were crispy and full of flavor. The pad ka pow was a perfect balance of savory flavor with the right amount of spice. I should have asked to get shrimp with it this time, but that will happen when I go back next time. The parking at Chandler Street can be a little tough but I found a spot which was nice. The building is full of businesses so it is a nice place to be when you're hungry. Tiny Thai is one of my new favorite places to check out in the city and if you're ever over near the Westside, you should too!

    Drunken Noodles with tofu and extra vegetables, Pad Thai and Green Island Mocktail
    Katie Z.

    The food at Tiny Thai is way beyond what most other restaurants are serving in WNY. Their current location is on the second floor of 27 Chandler and the space is colorful and cozy. The staff and owner were very hospitable, offering us extra drinks and checking in to make sure everything was our liking. Everything about the experience was warm and welcoming. We ordered pad Thai, drunken noodles with extra veggies and tofu (each cost $1 extra) along with a Green Island Mocktail. The pad Thai was deliciously saucy, which was a great surprise. I was also extremely pleased that the drunken noodles were packed with veggies, definitely worth the slight up charge. The tofu was seasoned and fried, not just mixed into the dish like an after thought. Overall, I'm a little concerned that Tiny Thai was so good that it may have ruined other Thai restaurants for me. This is definitely a spot to come back to!

    Located in a warehouse building along with other restaurants, Tiny Thai hides on the second floor. They open at 1pm on Sundays, not sure about other days of the week, so probably a good idea to pay attention to their opening hours if you pay a visit. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken breast. The total was $18 and some change, needless to say very pricey for one dish. I will say the portion size was rather large and could probably be split into 2 meals if one was not particularly hungry. I was very hungry so I ate all of it in one sitting. The flavors were fantastic and I really liked that they use the thin ramen noodles rather than the traditional thick flat noodles. It was a fun switch and didn't take away from the dish. I would definitely recommend Tiny Thai to anyone in the Buffalo area looking for some good Thai food!

    I kinda roll my eyes when these influencers call some place a hidden gem. Yet here I am about about to use those very words to describe Tiny Thai because it is truly HIDDEN. And a gem of a place. Took a little bit of snooping around to find this place on the second floor, but I am glad I went the extra mile (steps?) to locate it. The food was as beautiful as it was delicious. My Thai mother wanted Thai food, and if it wasn't good she'd be very vocal about it. LOL. We really liked everything we ordered. My mother was excited to see they have chor muang on the menu. My mother didn't even care what else we ordered as long as we got that item. This is a rare treat in a Thai restaurant! A rare gem within a hidden gem.

    I love their drunken noodles! They're so delicious. I tried their Pad Thai it was okay. It does take a while to order your food and get the food if the food truck is busy. I've also tried their dumplings which are beautiful.

    We had a wonderful and personal experience at Tiny Thai. The food was delicious. My husband and I was looking for authentic Thai food, missing our parent's home cooking of Thailand and the kind owner and chef, Kae, delivered. The spices and ingredients are all fresh and reminisce of our parent's home cooking and probably even better. We had the Kai Soi, Drunken noodles, and Pad See Ew, cho muang dunplings and fresh rolls. All very delicious. Just Heads up, lots of peanuts. We will definitely be going again. Excellent food and service.

    I took a pad thai cooking class here. Kae kindly greeted us with yummy mango tea & educated us on the history of pad thai. She made the art of cooking the main dish so easy to accomplish! We were then surprised with the absolute best mango sticky rice I have ever had! I can't wait to go back and try her other dishes. A wonderful women-owned, local small business to support!

    When driving up to a food truck in the pouring rain, we it had just let up, and see a crowd if people you know the food must be good. It was nice to see that there appeared to be a lot of local neighborhood folks. That's certainly shopping local! On this visit we just tried the deep fried spring rolls and the blue chicken dumplings. The spring rolls were not greasy at all and were filled with yummy fresh veggies. The dumplings weren't my favorite but decent. I didn't really taste any chicken, only peanuts. Based on some of the other orders coming out though I'd like to visit again to try their other menu items. 2022-29

    Thai lemonade and Thai ice tea. Both delightful
    Einas S.

    Tiny Thai has huge flavors! We decided it would fun to get a selection of menu items from the food truck and share them. We found vegetarian egg rolls. They were really very light and not at all greasy but delicious. The curry we ordered with tempe and it was fantastic!!! It came with an order of rice, and excellent flavorful rice I might add. The vegetables were artfully peeled and cut in large chunks, and the coconut milk curry sauce was a mix of sweet and hot that had me unable to stop myself from going back for bite after bite regardless of the heat. Ohhhh the sticky rice and mango.... Sometimes I need a thesaurus! The best sticky rice I've had in any restaurant in Buffalo. It had coconut milk cream sauce of some kind and a generous helping of perfectly ripe mangos on top. Sticky rice is not usually something I find myself having a craving for, until now!! Now I will have to find Tiny Thai for the curry and the mango sticky rice !! The non vegetarian had an order of the chicken filled dumplings that look like beautiful lavender colored roses. They were described as having various textures and were sweet and savory and were an all around fun experience. She also had chicken and rice which were very good but the sauce that comes with them puts the flavor over the top. So this is a truck that definitely won my heart!!

    Lavender Lemonade
    Julie C.

    Came here for the first time on a Friday afternoon at 1pm. It's in a large building with ~20 small food businesses but limited labeling on the outside of the building so it might be confusing! Takeout only. Between two people we got 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and 1 app. The total 20% tip + tax came to $70, which is slightly pricey but I'm not upset about it. The dumpling skin was similar to Thai desserts (coconut, chewy, mochi?? Flavor) but I can tell it was probably made beforehand and re-steamed prior to serving, causing the skin to be a bit soggy / lack of structure but just admiring the detail and colors of these cute lil guys was enough to fulfill me!!! The lavender lemonade was a WOWWWWW. From the presentation (WOW) to the intricate flavors (I haven't had a lavender drink I liked but this one was amazingly balanced with other spices). The Thai iced tea also had an amazing flavor, not watered down or bland like many other places I've had in buffalo. I got medium Spicy drunken noodles and I'd say it's actually spicy for an Asian person (but not painful). Both entrees were textured well but I did wish my drunken noodles had more veggies in them. 4 whole chicken wings were really generous though! Overall I'd come on a nice day to enjoy the sun and colorful food again :)

    The line at Tiny Thai

    Stopped at the Tiny Thai food truck today. Seems you can follow Tiny Thai on Instagram for more information on menu items and locations, and they also have a permanent location on the second floor of the Chandler Street market. I had the chicken dumplings and spring rolls. The dumplings are simply a feast for the eyes, each dumpling a blue rosette, the three of them on a generous bed of salad. I hesitated to take a first bite, but eventually admitted I wasn't going to take them home and frame them. Sight and taste rejoiced in that first bite. Delicious. The spring rolls were excellent, crisp on the outside, softly crunchy inside and a dipping sauce that seemed a slightly sweet fish oil. Very good. I'm glad to know they have a regular shop because I have got to have (soon) more of the wonderful dumplings.

    Drunken Noodles with chicken
    Hannah L.

    Tiny Thai, huge flavor. I had been wanting to check this place out for awhile -- as soon as their food truck reached massive popularity among Buffalonians, I knew it had to be good. They currently have a space in the Chandler Street building, though I ordered delivery this time around. The turnaround time on my order was super quick, which is always a bonus. I opted for their drunken noodles with chicken. I don't know what I was expecting, but my dinner was above and beyond anything I had imagined it to be. The portion was perfect and the flavor was present in full force, the noodles packed a great punch. There were lots of veggies mixed in and the chicken was so tender and flavorful. Their menu is on the smaller side, but I think this is a good thing, as it allows them to really excel at their specialities. And the pricing is great too: my meal was $15, which is pretty competitive when you compare it to other businesses. I will absolutely be ordering from Tiny Thai again -- to try their tried-and-true pad Thai, or maybe for some of their famous rose-shaped dumplings.

    Chicken pad Thai
    Jeff H.

    I ordered chicken pad Thai which was $17 and beyond sickeningly sweet, and the portion was teeny tiny for the price. Not much going on flavor-wise besides sugar. Jasmine's pad Thai is infinitely better with way bigger portions. How is this place getting rave reviews from others?

    Having had Burmese food growing up in California, I was genuinely excited to see a local Burmese…read morespot in Buffalo. I ordered three things and they were impressive despite being different than what I was used to. The absolute highlight for me was the **Tea Leaf Salad** -- the standout flavor profile made the dish incredibly memorable. The flavor was fantastic but it did have a few too many split peas and the whole chilis on the side were slightly awkward. The **Mohinga (Fish Noodle Soup)** was also delicious and actually reminded me of Vietnamese bún riêu in some ways. Highly recommend. The **Burmese Chicken Curry** was good but caught me off guard -- it's a bit liquidy and very tangy. It's definitely worth trying, just know it's a punchy dish rather than a subtle comfort food. What really pushes this to five stars is the hospitality. The older gentleman I'm guessing is the owner was incredibly warm -- came over to ask where I was visiting from, brought out free egg rolls, and just had this genuine energy of someone who actually cares about the people in his restaurant. You could see it in how he chatted with tables and joked with kids. Food does take a bit longer, but it fits the family-cooking vibe -- nothing feels rushed. If you want something authentic with real heart behind it, this place is worth the trip.

The cashier was a little gruff, but the woman running back and forth between the kitchen and the front had a better business sense about keeping customers happy. She didn't want me to wait long, so I think she rushed the kitchen a little bit, which I appreciated, but also may have led to some of the demerits on the food I mention below. I was happy to see one dish I ordered, the pig intestine with fish, on their picture board above the cash registers. That gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing and it was the best dish by far out of the three I ordered. The intestine was fresh and flavorful, the spice level was high, but also not too salty. It was a lot of food. Only drawback here was the fish (tilapia?) seemed to be heavy on the breading. The other two dishes were disappointing. Penang curry with pork had good vegetables, but the sauce had too little flavor since they went too heavy on the coconut milk. The pork seemed like chicken, not pork. Way too soft and flavorless. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun had good noodles and veggies. But the curry powder was not blended in. Eating it, I could still feel it in powder form. It was also far too oily. Overall, I think they had a lot of options but next time I'd steer more towards classic Chinese, since that seems to be what they do well. I hope next time the flavors will be stronger and blended better (i.e. powders actually stirred in). I'm willing to give them another chance, since they do have a lot of dishes I like. Last note: the online ordering service does not indicate that dishes come with rice. I thought they would have rice by default, but then when I added the penang curry to my cart, it asked whether I wanted rice or noodles or something else. So that made me think I had to order rice separately, which meant I had twice as much rice as I needed. It also said "quart of white rice" was sold out, but "pint of white rice" was not, yet the rice that came with my meal came in a quart container.

One of the staff said to be patient - it would take 40 mins. for our order to come. Several of the customers for take-out arrived and found their orders were not prepared yet. Just an all-around mess. In-restaurant customers should be their first priority. They should not have taken so many take-out orders given their staffing.

Hard working people working in this restaurant as we could see as we peaked in the kitchen on our way out the door. Small place with huge menu. Decisions, decisions on just what to order.

That includes clearing of items you're done with immediately and no waiting for your bill. I was never rushed; they were just great at their job! Honestly hard to find over the last few years and I was very grateful for that experience alone. The ambience was a very cozy-casual. As I was dining alone this time, I enjoyed the 80s music and videos playing on the TV haha I have to be honest ... I really really wanted to order a roll! But I'm trying to do better about trying other things. So I ordered the Atlantic mussels and the pan seared scallops with veggies with fresh ginger sauce and rice, at a spice level of 3/5. The mussels were very generous and in a large bowl. My biggest pull, aside from the mussels themselves, was that in the description it had a creamy coconut sauce. But I did not taste any coconut and it wasn't creamy. It was broth. It wasn't bad or anything, just not quite what I was expecting. I did appreciate, in general, that there were a couple of mussel options. I hadn't had them in quite some time. The dinner entree was very good. I loved that there was a 1-5 spice scale to choose from. I picked level 3 and was a little worried it wouldn't be spicy enough but it definitely was! It was perfect. The sauce was good and the scallops plump. Veggies were fresh and rice sticky. I had water to drink and it was also very good (felt it deserved a mention lol). I would definitely come back here, but I would definitely order rolls next time! It's what my heart really desires! Side note: great place to indulge in for a whole food diet! I felt very satisfied from my seafood and veggies!!
