Kra Pow with Chicken and Fried Egg
Yuna C.

Love that they have the lunch special (appetizer + entree) available on the weekends! I got the Kra Pow at a medium level spice but it still got a kick that was addicting - the fried egg addition was a great compliment too. The Zaab Wings were addicting too with the hot but also sour/citrus seasoning - just drooling thinking about it again!

Food is delicious here but they are limiting meat portions now, sadly!! Service is ok!! Take out is pretty good!! Restaurant looks nice from the outside!

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.

Chicken Pad kee mao
Sarah K.

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.

Well I love Thai food and when in Bangkok didn't disappoint. Tasty and delicious food. Serving can feed 2 people. It was a lot. Our waiter was very friendly and bubbly. The place was a cute little restaurant. Definitely worth a second visit.

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.

Panyang Curry
Dorothy N.

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!

Crab Fried Rice

The best Thai restaurant in the Flushing/Bayside area. The soft shell crab karee has a crispy outside and a soft inside. The crab fried rice had lots of crab. All the dishes were flavorful and well balanced. Highly recommend the soft shell crab karee. The service was good.

Som Tum (Papaya Salad)
Gia H.

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.

Pineapple Curry Duck, Pad Thai Bo Ran
Kelsey Z.

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

Thai tea sundae
Michelle L.

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.

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. Bookmark this spot to try!

The inside is absolutely beautiful and while they have tables, they also have more traditional floor seating. We got a couple bites of food to eat, some of their tea, and some cocktails. Their food was very mediocre, at best. While the persimmon cake SEEMED to be made in house, it was very clear that everything off their food menu required minimal preparation (ie. for the dumplings, it was just har cow). I also thought their cocktails were okay, and out of the three we got, none stood out to me. I did enjoy their tea, however. But, it was also fairly expensive for what it was (~$50). Overall, I thought this spot was okay for the price and I'm not sure I would return.

We came with a fairly large group and ordered several teas and snacks to share amongst us. There were several options for the flavors of tea and each one had different benefits as well. I loved all of them, particularly the fruitier ones. As for snacks, we had this fried taro snack that had a crispy biscuit outer layer that was delicious. It was a bit of a sweet & savory mix, but not strong in either sweet or salty flavors. There was also this persimmon snack that was filled with nuts and other things. It was slightly sweet, very unique, and both paired well as a tea time snack. They're also open until 11:30pm! So if you want to skip the bar, I'd recommend checking out this tea spot for a nice hang out.

The outdoor section was covered well enough for the colder weather. However, it did start raining hard, so we moved inside after enjoying the view. I had the guava highball and then the Open Sesame cocktail. The highball was very strong, but I didn't really get a lot of the guava flavor. The Open Sesame was so sugary and delicious, though! The perfect blend of sweet coconut and slightly umami sesame seeds flavor. The popcorn chicken was my favorite bar snack of the night. The gyoza was ok, and the quesadilla was a little sweet, though I couldn't figure out where the sweetness came from. The manager kept coming around to sell us shots, so there was no lack of attention in service lol. The music was a tad loud for it not being a lounge where you could move around freely and dance.

The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

There are plenty of seats but during the weekends they fill up quickly. I would just recommend coming in earlier. Really enjoyed their strawberry matcha latte and banana latte. The matcha had a strong creamy flavor that complimented the strawberry flavor very well. Judging from the color, it was definitely a decent quality matcha. The hot banana latte was not too sweet and really impressed me with the taste. It wasn't artificial and was very comforting on a colder day. I also tried the oolong tea cheesecake. The texture was moist and the perfect density for a cheesecake. While the tea flavor was light, I would get it again. Excited to try out their other drinks, they also have a selection of desserts like the tiramisu that will sell out quickly.

During the weekday is a great space to work. The wait is minimal and I received my order quickly. The latte was excellent! The espresso was smooth and therefore paired well with black sesame. The sandwich was good but nothing special. Great cafe but more savory selection.

Best of all, their specialty coffee and tea are surprisingly affordable--most drinks are only around $5 to $7, which is a steal compared to many boba and tea shops. The space is spacious, comfy, and beautifully decorated, with free Wi-Fi and clean bathrooms. Their playlist is very nostalgic, playing songs by Jay Chou, Khalil Fong, and Fiona Sit. Perfect for working, grabbing a coffee, and picking up flowers all in one stop. *Golden Osmanthus Jasmine $6.5 I love light, floral teas, and this one was perfect. It is a blend of jasmine tea and osmanthus topped with cream foam. Delicate, refreshing, and not too sweet. *Black Sesame Latte $6 The black sesame cream foam was so nutty that I literally scooped it up with a spoon. The flavor turned mild once mixed with the espresso and milk though. *Matcha White Chocolate $7 A Christmas special! I was so excited to see they serve "matcha donut latte" which is quite popular last year. The vibrant green matcha latte is topped with a ring of whipped cream and funfetti. A very warm and cozy drink. *Warm Tofu Pudding $6 This tofu pudding comes with either ginger or osmanthus syrup. I added lychee jelly, mixed fruit jelly, and red bean. Warm, cozy, and especially comforting on a cold day.
