Saranrom Thai - Elmhurst, New York

This Thai restaurant in Queens is definitely a gem, if not a hidden one given how busy it was when we visited this past Saturday! It’s cozy and intimate, perfect for a romantic dinner. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a variety of dishes that you don’t usually find in NYC Thai restaurants. On top of that, I found all the prices to be very reasonable. And the service was top-notch - our server, Jacob, was super friendly and helpful. Just a heads up, they do take walk-ins, but it’s very popular, so I recommend making a reservation. When we went on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., we had to wait about an hour for a table.

Great Place with lots of options.
My picks were Crispy Cat Fish with Mango Salad and Raw Shrimp Salad.
The cat fish was super crispy even tho it is drenched with the dressings and the shrimp was fresh and flavorful.
Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic bold Thai flavors.
Don’t sleep on the desserts too ;))

For me, this is probably one of the very best Thai restaurants in NYC. I travel to Thailand almost every year and I am not easy to impress. The mussel pancake is outstanding. Not every Thai spot serves this dish. Even in Thailand, seldomly you find a place that is really good. The service staff is very attentive. Mia was super helpful with our order and another guy (didn't catch his name) also cleans and fill water when he can. The experience was just spetacular. I don't live far so I will be back for more.

Best thai food I’ve had in nyc. The yum pla duk fu, basil sauce minced pork, pad woon sen, and crispy garlic fish were to die for. Our server Mia was wonderful!

Decent Thai food, but I feel like seasoning can sometimes be off. For example, the boat noodle is a bit too salty; if it is seasoned better, it would be great. Lots of meat in there as well! Kee Mao noodle is well-seasoned, and medium spicy level is pretty spicy already. I didn't really like the fried tofu since it is not as good as Mam's. The stewed pork is too fatty for my liking. They do have a lot of options on the menu, which is great. The restaurant is quite small so during peak hours, the wait can be long. Recommend calling them to reserve a table.

Been here a couple of times and absolutely love it! The lunch menu is pretty cheap + filling and the dinner selection is very versatile, something for everyone:) (also safe to eat at if you have a peanut allergy!)

The service is amazing as well! I’ve had Mint as my server every time I’ve gone and she’s so sweet, always makes sure I’m comfortable and such a nice person. I can’t wait to go again!

Okay it was an hour plus waiting without a reservation but worth it! The food was delicious, staff amazing and really adorable cocktails. They have a Michelin bib for a reason. One waiter was amazing (Daniel?) unfortunately I don’t remember his name.

I went there on a Sunday night as a walk in and waited 1 hour for a table. Honestly worth the wait. The staff are so sweet and the restaurant itself is small but very cozy. I feel at home!

I got chicken satay to start and had Pad Se Ew w crispy pork as my main dish. The first bite alone left me with no regrets on waiting for an hour for a table. So flavorful! My friends and I finished the night with the mango sticky rice and it was the best closure for such a beautiful meal.

The Thai iced tea is a must everyone!
