    Papaya Salad
    Kelly Y.

    Got lunch special here and it was so good and actually Thai spicy! (BEWARE)! Friendly staff and their food is so authentic. Great deals on lunch special as well!!

    UThai is the quintessential Thai takeout spot. There's not much of a restaurant to speak of; the establishment consists of a kitchen and a counter, with hardly enough space to fit two people once you're in the door. Everything UThai does is perfectly fine. Not much to rave about, but not much to complain about either. The fried rices are all exactly what you're looking for on a night when you don't want to cook. The drunken noodles are spicy and rich, if not excessively greasy at times, and the pad thai is, well, very solid pad thai. The crab rangoon is a bit of a disappointment, lacking the crisp you'd like it to have, but other appetizers are a nice complement to your meal. As far as neighborhood takeout operations go, UThai is at the very least one of the best on the block, and for that they definitely deserve their flowers.

    Got this for dinner last night Love this women owned business such great service the food I had was the chicken pad Thai as well as the crab rangoons for an appetizer everything was fresh well made and delicious highly recommend one of the best Thai food places around and pretty inexpensive especially the lunch specials definitely try if you are in the area!

    My last 2 orders from here were Massaman Curry and Mango yellow curry. They make delicious Thai style curry and special instructions are always followed. I requested pineapples as an addition in my Mango curry, (I was feeling ADVENTUROUS) and they were abundantly added. The pieces of mango and pineapple were so juicy and complimented the dish very well. The Coconut soup is always good, but the Roti canai can be a little greasy and undercooked at times. When it is done right, it definitely hits!

    I seriously LOVE UThai so much!! Thai food is a major cuisine part of my rotation and you really cannot get any better than UThai. The new Peanut Curry with broccoli, green beans, and carrots with chopped peanuts on top in a delightful peanut coconut milk curry is too notch. Out of any restaurant that serves Crab Rangoon, theirs is by far the very best with actual crab and not just cream cheese. The wonton is soft and flavorful inside and the outside incredibly crispy. The Salmon Mango salad with cashews, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, mango, lettuce and topped with a dressing with the perfect juxtaposition of sweet and acidic sourness but in the most perfect amount. I could eat this salad daily.

    Chicken with Basil Sauce Lunch, peanut salad, beef Drunken Noodle Lunch (Pad Kee Mao), thai iced tea

    2.5 2 for food. Added point for the service. Tight indoors. A table for 2 and another for 4; seating outside but can't when cold. 3% charge for credit card, even for debit. Decided to try this place again so got a couple of lunch specials, each comes with an option of peanut salad, spring roll or soup; or a drink for an added $2.50 which I did for one of them. I added tapioca pearls for $1, to the thai tea, which I ended up wasting bec they were a bit hard. I asked for the mild spiciness. Chicken with basil sauce was too much on the sweet side for me. Beef drunken noodle was pale, dry and bland. Can't compare to Thai food in Elmhurst. Wanted to like this place bec it's closer but not satisfied. :(

    Had takeout from here and honestly it was pretty good! Def think it could keep up with a lot of the great Thai restaurants in queens including those from woodside Ave aka little Thailand. Pleasantly surprised and a must try if you are a resident nearby. MANGO STICKY RICE - they did an amazing job w this I kept going back for more; they got the crispy soy nuts for contrast in texture and the mangoes are soooo sweet and juicy Don't miss out on the variety of Thai iced teas including mango and lemon! Chicken Larb was good, not the best but def hits the mark. Chive pancakes were on point - nice and crispy and chivey Pad Thai also good and on par Mango papaya salad is a classic and they did a good job Duck with tamarind sauce was tender ! Usually have a problem with takeout duck being dry.

    Thai Spring Rolls (5)
    Ka C.

    This is a mostly takeout Thai place but my friend and I chose to dine in. Note it is tiny inside and only 2 small tables, both of which are tucked to the side, sandwiched between the entrance and the counter. It is also cash only which is a bit inconvenient (although they take Venmo too). Service was ok considering only one person was working the counter and they had to take orders, answer the phone, tend to the delivery people, and serve us our food. We got spring rolls, papaya salad, shrimp green curry, and veggie pad thai to share. Food was hit or miss to me. For example, the papaya salad was heavy on the fish sauce and verged on soggy. Green curry and pad thai were both decent though. They could do with a bigger rice portion with the curry but that is typical with most Thai places. Spring rolls had a nice crisp. I would say this place is a good local place for takeout or delivery but would not recommend dining in.

    Green Curry (beef)
    Cat D.

    We order takeout from here a couples times a year when we are around the neighborhood to see family. Their food is really good and we enjoy it every time. I heard that the chef changed but the food is still consistent. Here's what we typically order: - chicken satay - 3 pieces served with peanut sauce and cucumber vinaigrette -fried chives dumplings - chive vegetable dumpling with soy vinaigrette dipping sauce - roti canai - roti flatbread served with potatoes, Massaman curry dipping sauce - green curry - coconut curry, eggplants, string beans, bell peppers, bamboo shoot -panang curry - coconut curry, belle peppers, like leaves, and string beans - pad see ew beef - stir fry flat noodles with broccoli and egg - Thai basil chicken - sautéed onions, bell peppers, in spicy basil sauce - pineapple fried rice - fried with pineapple, cashew, egg and tomato - lychee juice with lychee "meat" - Thai iced coffee - homemade Thai iced coffee with milk Highly recommend this place. We try many things on their menu and everything comes out great! The delivery man is the sweetest person and handles your delivery with care. His name is Oil. Yes, Oil. We tip him generously :)

    I stopped by here for lunch. It's a small establishment, probably was a takeout only place even before the pandemic. But not to bad. Very lackluster service, as if I were inconveniencing them. I ordered the curry puffs and shrimp pineapple fried rice. The curry puffs were good with the cucumber sauce. The shrimp pineapple fried rice was okay, very bland. After eating some curry puffs, I put the cucumber sauce in there to give it some kind of flavor. If I were to go back I would just grab the curry puffs and let that satisfy my lunch.

And, there was a great flavor to the dish. If anything, I wish they just put more chicken in as my portion barely had any. The Thai iced tea was also phenomenal.

The place is quite small. I've been chasing the raw shrimp ceviche flavors ever since I had it at a night market in Thailand and finally found a close 2nd here! It was a perfect balance of tangy and salty. They gave us a decent amount of shrimps. The tom yum soup had a kick (to the back of your throat) to it even though we asked for mild. It was tasty. The basil minced pork was also delicious with the Thai omelette completing it really well! My partner got the intestine herbal soup and it was pretty good! I wasn't in the mood for it. I had some bites of it and it wasn't smelly at all. Thai iced tea was also good and as expected. A bit too sweet for me, I wouldn't order it again.

My only note is that it could've used more greens. The single layer of lettuce on the bottom didn't quite cut it. I understand why it's done that way, adding more might make it soggy, but something like crisp like raw string beans or haricots verts could add both freshness and volume without sacrificing texture. Still, overall, I really really enjoyed it! The grilled beef over vermicelli was solid, fresh and flavorful, but the small container of fish sauce wasn't quite enough to tie everything together. Unfortunately, the spring rolls were a letdown. They were rolled unevenly, which led to uneven frying, and they just didn't look very appealing. They were also thinner than typical Vietnamese spring rolls, which was disappointing given the price.

The food is flavorful and great portions. The pho had enough meat and noodles. The broth was great and not incredibly salty as some other places. The rice dishes were plentiful and superb serving of meat. The sandwich would have been a solid winner if they didn't pack it in aluminum foil which causes sogginess. I would recommend using the paper/waxy bags or even just a paper bag to maintain the crispiness of the bread. But a softer bread did not takeaway from the powerful punch of flavor and the right balance of ingredients in the sandwich. Divine! So tasty and would get it again - perhaps I'll toast it on my own. Definitely a good banh mi choice in Queens. The price is fantastic. Keep it this way and you'll have a constant fan base returning. Great food, great prices and service was fast and kind when I went to pick up. On top of that, their interior looks adorable so would consider dining in next time. This restaurant will now be on our rotation of Viet spots. Wishing them much success.

It's not in Manhattan, but I'm telling you -- it's worth the trip. It's located right next to Little Thailand and easy to find with Google Maps. One downside is that the space is very small. They only have four small tables for two and one larger table for 3-4 people, so it might be difficult for bigger groups unless you make a reservation. We arrived right after they opened, and not long after, the whole place was packed. Besides the size, the restaurant is really pretty and cozy. The menu is interesting and offers a wide variety of dishes -- fried, stir-fried, grilled, soups, and more. Here's what we ordered: Crab Fried Rice - We ordered it without much thought, just to try it, and it ended up being one of the best Thai dishes we've ever had. Even my husband (who is Laos/Thai) loved it. He rarely gets to eat crab because his mom has a severe allergy, so this was special for him too. (We forgot take picture lol) Crispy Pork Belly - Served super hot and crispy. I love that they battered it instead of just deep-frying it plain. It had great texture and was so flavorful. Tum Thai (Thum Mak Hoong) - We ordered it very spicy and asked if they could make it Laos-style. They tried, and it was pretty good. It was slightly lacking the strong fermented fish sauce (padek) punch that gives it that bold, pungent flavor. But honestly, it's still very close to Northern style -- just more approachable and less intense, so more people can enjoy it. Sticky Rice - Served the traditional way in a bamboo basket (aep khao) with a lid, which keeps it piping hot. I love when restaurants keep it authentic like that. We wanted to order more because there were so many options, but just three dishes were already enough for us -- we even had leftovers. They packed everything very securely; I carried the papaya salad around all day and it didn't spill at all. It is pretty pricey, but honestly, it's worth trying at least once for the quality and authenticity. We'll definitely bring his parents here next time we're back in NYC.
