Love the Thai food here. The raw shrimp salad is legit. Eat it with all the spice and garlic to get full exp. Fried rice and drunken noodle are pretty good too

Came here with a few friends on a Monday night for dinner. We ordered a lot of food and everything was awesome. The staff was wonderful and patient with us, as we asked for recommendations. The papaya salad was my absolute favorite, but everything was so delicious.

This place reminded me why Thai food is my favorite food. Oh my, this is probably the best Red Curry I’ve had in New York. So rich and flavorful. Authentic and delicious. Plus I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. It’s cozy and the light is dimmed (which is my fave lighting). I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been twice and enjoyed both times, they have a few good cocktails and their food is legit. I have only had the noodle dishes but the spice levels are great and the fried fish was also delicious. Truly recommend taking the time to come enjoy fairly authentic Thai. I am eager to try the other restaurants in this neighborhood as well. Elmhurst is great don’t be scared!

This is an excellent no frills Thai restaurant in Woodside. The prices were reasonable, the staff was friendly, and all of the food was absolutely delicious. We had the raw shrimp salad, crab fried rice, and the pork leg entree, and washed it all down with a couple ice cold Singha beers. I’ll definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu and would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for great authentic Thai food.

Update: Came back to try new dishes. Had the papaya salad (medium spicy), duck curry, and crispy pork with Chinese broccoli. The salad and curry were good but I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli though - the broccoli was delicious but the crispy pork was really dry and chewy.

I came in with my son, it was a particularly cold night, the staff was very welcoming, very helpful and gave us some amazing recommendations, we got some drinks, the falling slowly is very nice, we ate the Tom Kha soup I believe, the crispy duck curry was so juicy and flavorful, and the the drunken noodles were a classic great choice. We are very glad we came here instead of other places around it really very cozy.

This restaurant is located in Woodside's Thai Village, which has many Thai restaurants, but this one is among the most traditional.

I placed a pickup order here, and after taking about 30 minutes to bring the food home, the taste and temperature were still great, with the authentic wok hei flavor in the stir-fried dishes.

The takeout containers were well-packaged, with no spills, and the presentation of the dishes remained intact, showing the staff's dedication to preparing and packing the orders carefully.

This restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, covering almost all the main Thai dishes. If you're unsure what to order, you can try their signature dishes featured in newspapers or ask the staff for recommendations.

Note that if you can't handle very spicy food, avoid the Thai spicy level; mild spicy seems to be the best choice for most people.

Overall, this is an excellent traditional Thai restaurant and highly recommended.
