Ate here today with my mom trying this place out during my day off from work on an Indigenous Day for lunch for the first time. We definitely got the lunch specials which includes the khao moo dang and the Padang duck curry with a side of salad with peanut sauce that it had tasted quite good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and quite fast. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
NYC's Most Beautiful Thai Food! Back at one of my favorite Thai spots, where every dish is as stunning as it is delicious. From the beautiful presentation to the bold, authentic Thai flavors, every plate was thoughtfully crafted and packed with flavor. It's one of those meals that makes you pause before taking the first bite--and every dish delivered. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG, Tiktok and RedNote for more great finds.
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.
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!
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.
Some of the dishes we got were really salty. The Yum Poo Ma was overly salty and sour. The marinated crab tasted a bit fishy as well. I did enjoy the Khao Pad Poo dish. The fried rice was nicely cooked and tasted great with the crab, however the dressing it came with was also overly salty. The do a gratuity fee for parties 6 or more. read more

Higher end restaurant compared to what locals appreciate in my opinion. All the food here were extremely delicious and the staff are friendly. This restaurant is better than some of the nice restaurants in the city and their portion is bigger as well. It was pricey but their quality backed it up. Nice place for a date. read more

We wanted to reinstate date night and decided to try out a new restaurant we've heard about from social media groups. This one has been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. I like the ambiance, albeit the small space. I was hoping to try out everything they had on the menu but I'm glad we ordered just ONE entree because that was more than enough to feed two people. I believe the one entree we ordered was for $30 and we left the place almost in a food coma. This place is value for money, definitely recommending friends here! read more

Came here around 9:00PM at night and they were busy. Wait was around 10 minutes. Staff and service was super quick and friendly. We got our food immediately after ordering. Price was fair for what we got, we ordered 4 drinks, 4 dishes and 2 appetizers for $115, $140 after tip. Everything was super good. Ambiance was immaculate. Definitely a go to Thai spot. 4.8/5 stars read more

Food was so good. We went during restaurant week and honestly can't wait to eat here again. It's small inside so make a reservation.. has a cute atmosphere, really nice for date night! read more
Super pleased with this new find. I just wandered in off the street -- we had been planning to go somewhere in Murray Hill and could not find a parking space so we decided to head up Northern Blvd, and this place looked appealing. The Moo Grob (crispy pork belly and long beans) was fantastic. As was my cocktail (pictured) a blend of "butterfly pea infused gin" and lime. The seafood pancake was just okay. I should have known not to order a Korean dish in a Thai place, but we were in Murray Hill which is Korean food Mecca, so I figured we were safe. Otherwise it exceeded all expectations and I will return. read more

rating: 4.75/5 after seeing someone post about this spot on tiktok i knew i had to give this place a visit! their menu is on the smaller side, but you're bound to find something that appeals to your taste buds. - notes - both cash and card are accepted! also has a bathroom towards the back of the second floor, but it doesn't have a lock. - atmosphere - the inside of this restaurant is super cute and simple; there's definitely a slightly cozy vibe going on with light yellow lighting and brown undertones in the furniture. it's honestly a great place for a date night or to take your friends for a nice meal. - overall experience - a few days prior, i made a reservation for 4 people at 7:00 pm on a friday night on resy. we were running a bit late due to traffic and were able to call the restaurant to push our reservation time 30 minutes later. when we arrived, we were immediately seated upstairs, even though our entire party hadn't arrived yet. the service here was great and the staff are really friendly! our food never took more than 10 minutes to arrive after ordering, even though the restaurant was quite busy at the time. - recommendations - highly recommend that you must try their pad thai bo ran, pu karee, pandan coconut sticky rice, and thai tea croffle! 12/30/22 -fresh oysters: these long island oysters are served with their house special spicy seafood sauce, chili jam, and crispy shallots. the size of the oysters were quite big, and they tasted super fresh as well. you really didn't need any of the sides to enjoy the flavor, but it was still a plus. normally, they're priced at 3 for $10 or 6 for $18. but, if you come during happy hour from mondays through fridays 11:30 am-6:00 pm, they're $2 each. (4/5) -pad thai bo ran: this entree comes with stir-fried rice noodles in a tamarind sauce with shrimp paste, chives, and tofu wrapped inside an egg nest. the side comes with a lime wedge, some bean sprouts, and peanuts, along with 2 fried jumbo prawns on top of the egg nest. the noodles had the perfect texture, and the flavor had a great balance between savory, nutty, and slightly sweet. the prawns were slightly fried, and the crispiness really made them enjoyable to eat. my only complaint would've been that i wished that there were more bean sprouts on the side. the portion was extremely fair for $24, and i would 100% order this again if i came by again. (5/5) -loaded moh fai: this dish is one of their winter specials, which is a spicy tom yum hot pot with instant ramen, snow crab legs, 2 jumbo prawns, squid, roasted pork, ground pork, and egg yolk. the pot is served on top of a gas stove and continues to cook for just a bit longer before everything is fully cooked through. the server also helped us out by giving us suggestions for the heat settings and notifying us when the food was ready to eat. the tom yum base had a good balance of salty, tart, and citrus flavor while being light at the same time. all the seafood inside tasted fresh and the ramen was great too since it held onto the soup well. we really had no complaints about this dish. although the price is pretty expensive at $40, you get so much variety and food that makes it worth the try. (4/5) -moo grob: this entree comes with pieces of crispy pork belly in a spicy basil sauce with long beans and red pepper, along with a bowl of jasmine rice on the side. the pork belly was cooked just the right amount; each piece didn't have too much fat either, which was appreciated. each bite had tons of savoriness and a kick of spice from the sauce. my only complaint would be that the dish is on the oily/greasy side, but it is also great for sharing. although it doesn't look like much at first glance, the portion of food is quite filling for $20. (4.5/5) -pu karee: this entree had crispy soft shell crabs in creamy curry egg sauce with scallion, celery, onions, and red pepper, along with a bowl of jasmine rice. it was pretty spicy for me, but had so much flavor! the crab tasted amazing with the curry and rice. for $30, i definitely thought that it was worth the price. (5/5) -pandan coconut sticky rice: loved this so much especially with the touch of sesame seeds on top! it's a bit more coconut-forward than pandan, but the flavors were both there. the consistency of the rice was just right t one small bowl costs $5, which isn't that bad imo because i'd probably not be able to get this anywhere else. (5/5) -thai tea croffle: this new dessert comes with a croissant waffle with powdered sugar, mini marshmallows, and strawberry slices on top. on the side, there's also some whipped cream, a scoop of thai tea ice cream, and a thai tea-flavored sauce you can pour on top or dip into. the texture of the croffle was crispy on the outside and chewy/soft on the inside, which was perfect. all the toppings and sides paired so well together too! $12 does seem kind of pricey for this dessert, but it's definitely possible to share it with another 1-2 people.

I can not believe how amazing every dish was. My in-laws and I came here to celebrate my Wife's birthday. After ordering the apps, we ended up doubling those orders because they were so unique and delicious. The Tom Yum soup and the Tom Yum wings were AMAZING! As was every dish we ordered. The staff was so nice and accommodating. They really to pride in their business and service. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! read more

Don't get me wrong...the aesthetic of this place is cute. The service is horrible though. Slowest service ever!!! My friend and I sat there for a good 30 min after they took down our order. We had to wave down someone to see why our food was taking so long. Pretty sure they forgot about our order until we had to ask where our food was. The funny thing is, there weren't many people eating in, so there shouldn't have been a reason why it takes 30+ minutes for our dishes to be prepared. When the food came, it was overly salty for both of our tastes. We took a few bites and decided to get more food later as it was unbearable to finish....I will not be back. read more
