    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!!

    Pad Thai

    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!

    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. :(

    Crab Rangoons (6) (I ate 2 lol)

    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.

    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.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

I used to get takeout and/or delivery from here often back when they had fried green tomatoes on the menu. Been a while since I had gotten food from here since that was my favorite item. Great happy hour specials $7 plain margaritas, beer, wine. We each enjoyed our food. One person is vegan and a couple are gluten-free. There were plenty of options for each (except they ran out of the gluten-free bread for the sandwiches, probably since they are closing for good). Bonus they participate in InKind app. I would be interested in checking out their sister restaurant in Manhattan (if there isn't a very loud crowded event at the same time there too! See below.) Cons: Service was slow even though not many tables (there was a 5K event at the same time so there were only a few tables of diners). There was a loud DJ for that running club event so we had difficulty communicating/hearing each other across the table. The 5K group also had a couple people try to steal seats at our table and people kept elbowing those of us sitting on the outside of the table.

It was also my 1st time eating vegan. I can't wait to go back! My husband & I loved the shrimp. It was so scrumptious, we could eat it everyday. I also really enjoyed the loaded broccoli. The taste, the seasoning, the sauce totally upgraded broccoli to another level of foodie euphoria. One of our favorites was the cauliflower, it had a crunch to it like no other and the sauce complimented it well. Another dish we enjoyed immensely was the zucchini scallopini, all the zucchini was gone by the time I got to it. lol that's how I know my husband and mother-in-law really enjoyed a dish! The Mac and cheese was so delicious, even I loved it. My kids loved the cheese pizza! My kids' favorite was the cereal ice cream for dessert. My daughter loved sampling the lemon blueberry cake between spoonfuls of her ice cream. Urban Vegan Roots definitely gets 2 thumbs up and my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval! I would eat here everyday if I could. Definitely on my go-to list of places to go for celebrations! Unfortunately eating at Urban Vegan Roots was pretty pricey so we'll probably only come back during the holidays.

We ordered takeout directly through the restaurant by phone. The order was ready when we arrived. Everything was correct and the food was packed neatly. We shared the mutton rolls, village style nattu koli, and beef lamprais. Mutton rolls were similar to croquettes filled with meat. They were extra crispy. I'd be interested to try this item filled with cheese. They reheat really well. I'd recommend them for an appetizer. Nattu koli and Lamprais are big platter style entrees. The come with a handful of different components, so you get more variety than a typical entree. I liked them both. We did a lot of mixing and matching, so I don't remember which items were part of which. Both consisted of healings of rice with a variety of stewed or slow cooked meat and veggies. Generously seasoned. My wife found the food too spicy and tapped out. I enjoyed the spice level and found it quite flavorful without being overbearing. I'd only rate it a quarter napkin on my spicy rating scale. We had a great experience, but it's pricey. Came out to about $75 for an appetizer and two entrees. I'd be inclined to return for their Sunday buffet which is $30 per person.
