Had a great weekend lunch here! Usually restaurants don't offer lunch specials on weekends so I was pleasantly surprised that this place does. You get an appetizer and entree, and the price depends on your protein. I got the spring roll appetizer and red curry entree with vegetables and tofu for $17. I really liked the spring rolls, but the red curry was a bit too spicy for me and didn't come with as much tofu as I would have expected. The portion size was great though! What stole the show were two things. The lychee juice as well as the Zahn Wings appetizer. The juice was soooo good and came with two lychee, and the lime seasoning for the wings was incredible. I would come back and order these two things again for sure! The restaurant itself is very nice, modern and clean with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I believe the second floor is available for private events. The employees were also all super friendly. read more

This was a restaurant I had saved, and since it was participating in Restaurant Week, my friend and I decided to try it out. The Restaurant Week menu wasn't particularly exciting, so we both ordered from the regular menu. I had the steamed sea bass with white rice, while my friend had the duck with white rice. Both were good. We also tried the appetizer platter. I really enjoyed the chive rice cakes, the crispy texture added another layer. The crab rolls were fine, but the Cho Muang's texture was a bit off to me. The drinks were also really good. I tried the lychee floral spritz and loved it! Unfortunately, the service is what kept this from being a five-star experience. My food came out first, but my friend's didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes later. We also saw our server when she took our order and never saw her again. We wanted another drink but didn't have anyone to ask, so we had to rely on the hostess. I enjoyed the food and drinks, but good customer service is just as important to me. I wouldn't say I wouldn't return because I'd be willing to give it another shot, but I'd hope the service would be better next time. read more

I give 1 star overall because we all got food poisoning after the dinner. In general the food taste fine maybe 3 stars. pad Thai is not extremely sweet like other places, fried rice is good and we had tried the steamed fish based on everyone's review, it's very sour but the fish is tender, small fish with cabbage underneath it. Crab meat fried rice is good. What went wrong was probably the raw marinade crab with mango and salad part. Those who ate the most of the bottom mango and lettuce got severe diarrhea and vomiting. Then the rest of us has mild diarrhea for couple days. It'll be bad accusations if we didn't think carefully, but we are sure it is. How we figured out it's this restaurant and this dish? Because we've been eating at home whole week all fine, all cooked food and vegetables. Then Sunday night here for dinner we shared all food together and discussed each dish the amount we ate. Finalized this dish probably not the raw crabs but the raw salad underneath it. read more

The food was amazing! I had ordered a fish platter, but it arrived on a bed of lemon grass and fresh herbs maybe turmeric? We also ordered the curry dish which was superb in terms of taste. How would I describe this spot?Presentation is on point, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night. The interior was super cute with a chair that is surrounded by beautiful Instagrammable tschotkes. read more

Nice place for lunch. Had a $30 lunch menu with an appetizer and a main course. Had the spicy pork belly and it was very tasty but a little salty. Had the Tom Yum wings and they were tasty as well. The Thai iced tea was also delicious. Waitress was very attentive. Place was bright and clean. read more

Delicious upscale Thai restaurant on Northern Blvd! We enjoy coming here for dates and birthdays. The interior is very nicely designed and great for pictures. The food is also delicious, and I haven't had a dish that I didn't like so far. We also came here for Restaurant Week and enjoyed a nice 3 course meal. The price is a bit on the higher side, and parking can be difficult with the busy side street parking. Highly recommended for their good food, friendly service, and nice aesthetics! read more

When in Bangkok was a spot I found online while visiting, and it looked so good that I had to give it a try. They are dog-friendly and offer outdoor seating, which was a huge plus. The waitstaff was very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. We started with the oysters, and the condiments served with them were different from the usual ones you typically get. They were absolutely amazing and added a unique touch. For the main dishes, we ordered the chicken pineapple fried rice and the fried pork belly appetizer. Everything was solid, especially the cocktails, which were refreshing and well-made. We ended the meal with the roti dessert, which was definitely unique and a great way to finish the meal. You do have to go inside to use the restroom, which gives you a chance to appreciate the beautiful modern decor. Overall, When in Bangkok is easily one of my favorite Thai restaurants of all time, and I would definitely come back. read more

First visit after many friends suggested and it lived up to all the hype. We were warmly greeted by the host for lunch, from there it was all superb. The entire drink list, food, service and cleanliness of this restaurant must be commended. In short, absolutely worth the trip. No doubt we will be back for dinner service soon. read more

Love that they have the lunch special (appetizer + entree) available on the weekends!

My favorite Thai spot in Queens! It's so beautiful inside. We ordered Thai tea and sometimes it's a miss but this spot never misses. It was perfectly sweetened and creamy. For our dishes we got the vegetable thai fried rice and the panyang curry with vegetables. I usually always go for a meat dish but because my friend was vegetarian I wanted to get something we can both share. Service was quick! Lots of people were eating when we went. Def recommend reserving for a nicer outing. Totally understand why this spit is top 10! read more

Gone out for dinner with some girlfriends and all of our food was delicious. My personal favourites were soft shell crab curry and prawn pad thai. I was amazed at how nice and healthy the beverages were! The only complaint is there was at one point a very large cockroach or beetle 3 inches from my friend on the wall. The "waitress" approached and simply replied yea it happens and left. We know that bugs exist and it's not her fault, but it was kind of a turn off. read more

When in Bangkok is absolutely worth the hype. The cocktails are excellent and thoughtfully crafted, and the food is so good. We ordered the Drunken Noodle, Khao Soi, and the Braised Pork Leg--every dish was packed with flavor, comforting, and beautifully executed. The Khao Soi in particular was rich and aromatic, and the pork leg was tender and very satisfying. The ambiance is cozy with really cute decor, and the overall vibe feels warm and welcoming, even when the place is buzzing. It does get very packed, but it's 100% worth the wait. Portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better despite how busy it was. Easily one of my favorite Thai spots--I already can't wait to go back. read more

Service was wonderful really really quick for how busy they were! Store was nicely decorated, I just wish I could see the second floor LOL. We got pineapple roasted duck which had a nice sweet and savory sauce. The duck itself was tender and had crispy skin but I didn't think it had much flavor. Next we got the crispy pork belly much had delicious water spinach but the pork was very hard and not yummy. The water spinach was my favorite part of this entire meal. We got a pad Thai baron and it was good but I didn't like the texture of the egg. We also got a Thai iced tea. I think it was on the higher price end too. read more

Food was so good! Som Tum salad was super flavorful and fresh. There were diverse flavors from the crunchy green papaya, crispy pork skin, green beans, peanuts, and tomatoes. Both Kao Soi and Tom Yum Noodle Soup were explosions of flavor - heart warming and satisfying. Kao Soi is a sweeter, heavier curry whereas the Tom Yum Noodle Soup was more sour and craving satisfying. Service was good and ambiance is cute! Would go again. read more

So far, I haven't had one thing I didn't like from the menu. Authentic thai staff and presentation and food is so flavorful. Pineapple Curry Duck - not too spicy, crispy duck skin, great variety of vegetables Mango Branzino Summer Rolls - nice umami fish accompaniment to the refreshing and light rolls Crab Fried Rice - solid lumps of crab with rice Pad Thai with jumbo shrimp - so moist and unique with the way they cook the shrimp almost like a lobster Strawberry mixed drink (forgot the name sorry) - soooo easy to down quickly. It tastes like a creamy pink drink with the alc taste barely coming in read more

My friend and I wanted to sit outside because they have a patio, but they didn't set it up. They said they expect to open it next month. We ordered Mango Branzino Rolls, chicken pad kee mao, and Pineapple Curry Duck. They have lunch special daily from 11-4pm but we wanted try other dishes on their menu. No regrets. It is a bit expensive, but they give you big portions. We enjoyed all the dishes very much. The pineapple curry duck comes with one bowl of jasmine rice. The service is great and they refill our water pitchers. We left there satisfied and very full. read more

I was drawn to this place because they're owned by the same owners of Malii (was a fan of their first branch in UES 2nd Ave then they added Gramercy). I've tried both takeout and dine out by now. The dine in experience last week was far better than the takeout experience a couple of weeks back. Food tasted better and tasted consistent to the same food I've tried at Malii. For dine in last week, we tried their Mango based rum drink each and luckily made it to their Happy Hour time so was charged $8 less, a good deal. We got their Zaab Zaab wings which were good and ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Panang Curry in Beef. Crab Fried rice was pretty yum with actual chunks of crab meat while the Panang Curry tasted just okay. Hope they can work on that. I also ordered Thai iced tea which was very watery and somehow tasted like medicine, they didn't charge me for it and I appreciated the gesture. Looking forward to try them again and hoping their taste profile can be as good and consistent as Malii. Service was warm and friendly, thanks for that! :) read more

We walked in for a Sunday night dinner. The space is modern and the food presentation was pretty. There's a restaurant week menu for $45, which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. They were out of the panna cotta. The food was fine, not amazing. The shrimp ceviche was slightly fishy. The tamarind crab curry only came with half a crab, but the soft shell crab karee came with plenty of crab. The soft shell crab got a bit soggy in the curry. I think having it served on the side would've been better. The churro in the dessert wasn't good but the ice cream was tasty. read more

I recommended When In Bangkok to my family, so we went there for lunch today. I informed our server about my food allergies. The ambiance was perfect for brunch and dinner dates, too. Weekday Happy Hour | Mon-Fri 11:30 AM-5:00 PM $2 Oysters Crispy Wontons: The fried wonton wrappers stuffed with fish balls were crispy and delicious. My niece loved them and kept the whole plate to herself. Tamarind Wings: The spicy tamarind sauce kicked my palate and made the chicken wings flavorful. Chive Rice Cake Daily Lunch Specials | 11:30 AM-4:00 PM Choose a starter, an entrée, and a protein. Spring Rolls + Red Curry + Jasmine Rice + Chicken Spring Rolls + Thai Fried Rice + Chicken Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing + Thai Fried Rice + Chicken I couldn't stop eating the Chicken Thai Fried Rice because it tasted scrumptious. Spring Rolls + Pad See Ew + Chicken The spring rolls stuffed with mixed vegetables were crunchy and yummy. The Chicken Pad See Ew was a little too sweet, so my mom didn't like it.

When In Bangkok is going on my all star list of "go to" spots for any occasion. It has a fine dining aesthetic with a casual vibe that makes you forget you're in residential northern Queens. Can we take a minute here to sing the praises of their steamed sea bass? It comes to table on a burner tray to keep it steaming and seeped in a broth flavored by ginger, lime, lemongrass and assorted herbs. Digging out the pieces of cabbage underneath was like the gift that kept giving. This is a must try! I think our server was shocked at how we picked it clean, but not a bit went to waste. The Mango branzino rolls are a fun and light pop of flavor to get the digestive juices flowing, but if you're looking for a good appetizer to pair with a beer or Japanese whiskey, the Tamarind Wings are it! Just ask for extra napkins because you will be a mess. The mango sticky rice is a nice dessert for the little bit of room you might have left. It's on the tangier side of sweet with a nice nutty finish from the toasted coconut flakes on top. Perfect for sharing which we happily did. read more

Service: 3.9/5 Food: 3.5/5 Price: $$$ ($30-50) Much larger than I expected- downstairs, upstairs + patio seating. Very cute interior. Service was acceptable. Water refills took a while and they didn't check in much during the meal. Sidenote: I find it interesting their restaurant week menu features items not on their regular menu. I didn't order form it this time, but I will be back for this. What I Ordered: - chicken massaman: slightly overcooked, not enough curry sauce, good flavor - thai herb ribs: spice that builds, overcooked, not enough sauce to compensate - pineapple fried rice: decent flavor - pad kee mao: spicy, tender chicken read more

When In Bangkok is my favorite casual Thai spot! I've been here several times on girl dates and it is perfect each time! First off, most if not all drinks here are AMAZING! Their Thai Iced Tea is THE BEST and currently all time favorite. The first time I had it at the restaurant, I immediately ordered another one to go! It is a must-order! When on girl dates, I have tried a few cocktails - White and Red Sangria, Passionfruit Mojito, and mocktails - Passionfruit Mojito (mocktail version), Lychee Fizz - they are all very pretty aesthetically, sweet, and delicious! The oysters are the next best thing - they have a Happy Hour Special for $2/oyster on weekdays (excluding holidays) from opening 11:30 am through 5:00 pm or if outside Happy Hour, it is 6 oysters for $20. The oysters are sooo fresh and my favorite has to be their homemade seafood sauce - that sauce is delicious and works perfectly with the oysters with the crispy shallots and a squeeze of lemon juice. I usually skip the chili jam. If I have extra seafood sauce left, I save the sauce to put it over my entree. :) Another favorite appetizer of mine is the Crispy Pork Belly! It is perfectly fried and not greasy and the sriracha sauce just works with it. I usually come here for lunch special combo. I get the Spring Rolls and Pad See Ew. Both are really good choices here. The flavors are more on the sweet side but I really enjoyed it! Tip for Take Out Orders: If you are doing a large order for take out, consider ordering directly through their website for a small discount. :) read more

My go-to Thai restaurant in Queens. The wait usually isn't very long, and with two floors, it's a great spot for larger groups. I still remember them seating a group of 14 of us after pickleball with no issues at all :) The portion sizes are generous and everything looks very aesthetically pleasing. I first came during Restaurant Week and got to try a variety of dishes and an affordable price. The Pad Thai Boran quickly became my favorite. The duck is also very crispy and pairs so well with the citrusy pineapple curry sauce Their cocktails are also worth ordering. I really enjoyed "Meet Me at Siam," a fruity strawberry cocktail that's refreshing and paired well with the things we ordered :3 read more

I was not happy with the service.. had to wait approx 45 minutes just to have to flag down a waiter to take my order even though it was not busy as it was that in between time between lunch and dinner.. Was not happy at my time being wasted and not getting attention until I had to ask for it. I was a solo diner and got treated like I was not spending my money, which I work hard for, for service. Was in the neighborhood so thought I would have a quiet lunch but got pushed into the dinner crowd because of the delay. Not a good reflection of the restaurant and won't return. read more

Another bday celebration at one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Muarry Hill Queens. Small and cozy [they also have outdoor seating for warmer weather] Got there a little after 7pm on a Sunday. Luckily it was busy yet, we were able to get seated within 5 mins for a party of 4. What we ordered: - Chive rice cake [taste just like a deep fried turnip cake] - Cho Muang [butterfly pea dumplings with ground peanuts, shallots served with sweet turnip with garlic chips, cilantro, lettuce, and fresh chili] - Tom Kha [Chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, red onions, Cilantro, dried pepper, in coconut galangal broth] - Rose Lemonade [Lemonade, rose syrup, butterfly pea tea] - Lychee Fizz [Lychee syrup, lemon, grenadine, tonic water] - Ocean Breeze [pineapple juice, Lemonade lime soda, edible glitter ] - Thai ice tea - Pork Pad Thai - Basil Crispy pork belly. Sauteed with red pepper, long beans in spicy basil - Braised Pork Leg. braised pork leg with sweet five spice, soy sauce. Served with mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, boiled egg and garlic - Thai Press coffee with brown sugar on a stick - coconut Pandan ice cream - Thai ice tea ice cream - mango cake with coconut ice cream So far food leftovers.

Over the weekend we were craving Thai food so we decided to go When in Bangkok, a cozy Thai restaurant tucked away in Flushing Queens. We been here on a few different occasions and it never disappointed. The service is always quick, friendly staff & your food is served with a smile. During this visit we had the Thai bo ran, curry puffs, zabb wings & steamed sea bass. The curry puffs are light, flaky and full of flavor. The zabb wings remind me of a lemon pepper wing with a Thai twist, crispy & tangy. The steamed sea bass was served on metal like tray over an open flame, the sea bass is literally sizzling in your plate, good presentation, tender, & flavorful. If you're ever in the neighborhood check them out, you won't be disappointed. Good food, good service, at an affordable price. Can't beat that! lol read more

Top tier ambiance! There's a good amount of tables inside but it's not the largest space so I'd recommend either coming with a smaller party or making a reservation if you want to come with a larger group. They also have an upstairs space for private events. I made a reservation for a group of 7 and they wouldn't seat me until everyone arrived so I stepped out to wait for the rest of the party. However, when I came back in, they seated 2 of my friends who arrived during the time I stepped out. Not sure on their policy with that but would appreciate if they could be consistent. As for the food, everything was well plated - presentation looked great. The food itself was good but nothing was spicy despite some of them saying they were spicy. I personally love a good Thai spice so I was hoping for a little more kick in some of these dishes but they just weren't spicy at all. Even my friend who has a really low spice tolerance said it wasn't spicy. We ordered several items to share and they were all flavorful in its own way - from the appetizers to the entrees and the unique desserts. All of the crispy items (zabb wings, chive rice cakes, crispy crab rolls) were definitely crispy and had a lovely crunch on the outside while still keeping the inside juicy and well cooked. There's a pretty large variety of items to choose from on the menu but definitely get their seafood! The fish - both steamed and fried - were meaty. The crab fried rice had a good amount of crabmeat on top. We ended the meal with the mango sticky rice and the churros with pandan sauce and I loved them both. Southeast Asian desserts are so delicious with their unique flavors. They also have unique cocktails and mocktails! read more

Another mediocre spot made popular by their insta-worthy decor and menu. If you prefer ambience over taste, this is a spot for you. The restaurant is chic and modern, staff is friendly. I can always tell if a Thai spot is gonna be good based on their Thai iced tea and my theory did not disappoint. Everything from the Thai iced tea, to the green curry, to the soup was just ok. And the prices are ridiculous, $24 for Tom yum soup! I asked for no eggplant and extra red peppers in my green curry. They told me no substitutions and forgot to include the peppers which are listed on the menu. The chicken consistency was rubbery and had a weird color. Flavor was good. Tough area for street parking. read more

Absolutely Incredible Tom Yum! I usually order delivery from When in Bangkok through Uber Eats, but this was my first time actually dining in--and WOW, I'm honestly mad at myself for not coming in sooner. I ordered the Som Tom and the Tom Yum Noodle Soup with ramen noodles. The Som Tom was fresh, bright, and full of that perfect papaya salad crunch, but the Tom Yum... let me tell you... Legitimately the most delicious soup I have had in my entire life. The broth was perfection--the heat was just right, the lime gave it that beautiful acidity, and it was savory, rich, and totally bursting with flavor in every sip. I genuinely couldn't stop eating it. It was so good I felt compelled to write this review right away. If you love Thai food, do yourself a favor and try the Tom Yum here. Delivery is great, but eating it fresh at the restaurant is on a whole different level. Can't wait to come back! read more

This was my first time dining here and I was really impressed! Everything was so good and delicious, even the drinks. Prices are very fair too. I highly recommend trying the Braised Pork Leg it was outstanding the meal fell right off the bones! The steamed sea bass could have used a bit more flavor, but it was still enjoyable. The only dish I wouldn't recommend is the Tom Yum Mussels, as it didn't really capture the classic Tom Yum taste. The space itself is spacious with outdoor dining available, and the staff were super attentive and quick. Overall, a great spot and I'll definitely be back! read more
