50 Best Thai Restaurants near Elmhurst

“THE BOAT NOODLES HERE !!!! Are to die for. Next door is popular and good but Tea Cup is also amazing & better in my opinion. I’ve tried other things like BBQ / dessert and they were fine … but come here and order the boat noodles!!! So beefy, earthy, hearty. Perfect balance of flavors.“

“It’s my belief that this is amillion $$$ chicken recipe ??The steamed chicken is tender & flavorful. The jasmine rice is nothing short of spectacular ?I loved the soup that came with it and requested a 2nd serving.Seating is limited to a 12 person capacity. Sometimes I do takeout and eat across the park. Recommended on a sunny day.All this goodness for $13.07, tax included. It’s a healthy option over fried chicken & rotisserie chicken ?.Update: was 5 stars ⭐️ but changing to 4 stars after I read other reviews and agreed the price has GONE UP & portion is SMALLER ??$11.50 would be the sweet spot. Many venues offer a good lunch for $9-$10 ??“

“The best Thai restaurant in queens or maybe even NYC! It is a cozy little restaurant with delicious food. The servers are extremely kind and treat you like family. After years of always passing by I decided to try it for the first time and I am so glad I did. I love their drunken noodles and basil fried rice.“

“There used to be many delicious Thai restaurants on 74th Street. I don’t know why many of them have closed. It was my first time to eat here. The fried rice was very good. The fried pork and mixed vegetables were fried. The pork was over-fried. Service is very “

“Boon chu Thai restaurant offers affordable price with friendly nice smiled service and small capacity for dining in.When I come to eat at Boon Chu, I usually order THAI SHRIMP PASTE FRIED RICE WITH SWEET PORK AND ASSORTED CONDIMENTS or Khao kluk kapi (Shrimp Paste Fried Rice)My mom and I enjoy eating it at this restaurant“

“One of my favorite spots in the city. Consistently amazing food ☺️This time we got the duck rolls, crab fried rice, and karee pu noodles. All delicious and worth a try! The crab in the rice & noodles were sooo good. My all time favorite dish has to be the koong karee (seriously recommend trying this).There isn’t an item on the menu I haven’t enjoyed. 10/10 grab a resy and grab some delicious Thai food “

“Loved my entire meal! We ordered the crying tiger (highly recommend), the crispy fries whole branzino with chu Chee curry, and the chicken wings. I cannot stress enough how truly tasty every dish was. Cannot wait to come back with more friends so we can try more dishes because I cannot NOT reorder these dishes.“

“Genuine spicy Southern Thai food - they don't tone it down for westerners. Some dishes have an American/fusion twist like steak krapao but they were still really good. The sator (stink bean) with prawn was good and authentic! Service was friendly and although most of the reviews are 5* because they offer you a discount for leaving one, mine is genuine and I'm writing it after my visit...“

“I tried out Bua on the Upper East Side, and I'm so glad I went because everything for me was phenomenal. The food and drinks were both excellent, service was quick, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and inviting. They have a spacious outdoor area which is nice, as you get some good outdoor views. Plus, the staff was friendly and accommodating with all customer needs and food allergies/dietary restrictions. I personally do not have any thankfully, but they asked when I ordered and thought that was very courteous. I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone else.“

“The menu is the most delicious and authentic of Thai menus out there. I mean the sausages are all HOMEMADE! The best food by the best chef, Chuck. He is already a famous private chef and now you will be spoiled any day of the week! Just go and see for yourself or get delivery!“

“If you're ever in the area and have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting this amazing Thai restaurant. The food is consistently exceptional, with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Thailand. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries, flavorful pad Thai, or refreshing papaya salad, there's something here to satisfy everyone. Don't miss out on this culinary gem—just go if you get the chance!“

“Such a lovely low-key friendly neighborhood eats. They've just been opened for couple weeks. Liquor license is coming soon. Love all the dishes we had. Very fresh ingredients and herbs being used, including micro greens and edible flowers. Drinks served now are only soft drinks but like I mentioned earlier; their liquor license is being issued right now. They should start serving alcoholic beverages in couple weeks. What we had today for three of us: Drinks - Raspberry Lemonade - Very refreshing beverage with a perfect combination taste of sweet and sour. Perfect for the hot summer day. - Thai Iced Tea - Typical signature non-alcoholic iced tea from Thailand. They made it perfectly - not overly sweet like most Thai places. - Thai Iced Coffee - Another signature Thai styled iced coffee. And again, perfectly made. Appetizers - Chive Pancakes - Big portion enough to share as a starter. Soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Love it! - Thai Dumplings - Thai styled steamed dumplings with chicken and shrimp. - Fruit Salad (Special of the Day) - Mixed fruit salad bowl mixed of red apples, green apples, mangoes and grapes tossed with mixed of lime juice and other fresh ingredients of herbs and mints. Perfect for the summer. Entrees - Pad See Ew - Very tasty sautéed noodles with sweet soy sauce and flat noodles and Chinese broccoli and eggs. We chose to have it with fried tofu. - Duck Basil - Love, love, and love how they cook the duck with fresh Basil leaves and bell peppers. The duck meat is there - not dried out - still juicy and tender. Perfectly cooked! - Seafood Pad Cha - Again love the fresh ingredients and herbs used for this dish; especially, peppercorns, fingerroot and fresh lime leaves which they used in the dish. Dessert - Fresh Mango Sticky Rice - Not overly sweet for the Sticky Rice. So it was perfect for a hot day like today. Thank you, Glin for a lovely meal and very friendly attentive service. It was very enjoyable. We do appreciate the way you cook and use lots of fresh ingredients in your dishes. Stay true to your way of cooking. ***Love*** We'll be back soon and will try other dishes. Once again - Thank you. **The Uthairungsri Family**“

“Stopped by a few weeks after opening. The food was excellent. Me and my boys ordered a little bit of everything. Drunken noodle was great. Duck was great. Drinks were nice looking but I don't remember what I had so, I'll try it again. Wasn't super enthused on that front but definitely a fire spot to check out. Date night gem .“

“In NYC for a few days and visited OBAO - and couldn't recommend any higher.Our waiter, Beer was excellent - running us through the menu and giving us recommendations (two of which we took up).I highly recommend the short rib massamam which was recommended to me. A favourite of mine, OBAOs was hands down the best Massamam I've tried.Massive shout out again to Beer - for going above and beyond to making our visit memorable.“

“Really love their service. Staff are really nice. Foods are delicious. Had a fantastic dining experience at this Thai restaurant! The Tom Yum soup was bursting with flavor, and the Massaman Curry was rich and comforting. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Will definitely be coming back“

“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.“

“I brought my friend after I found this place from a friend. We enjoyed everything … and talking about service, i can’t brag more about Amanis … She’s just the best. Aside from the delicious offerings, She will give you all to have you enjoy and have the best experience in their restaurant ??“

“I try Thai everywhere I travel. Believe me when I say that the meal at Fish Cheeks is incredible. Everything from the hospitality to the execution of each dish was excellent.We made reservations about a week in advance of our trip to New York. We were seated immediately and given some recommendations on how to order from the menu. A few recommendations from the Kin Len (small dishes/appetizers) and a few more from the entrees. I wish they’d made some recommendations from the sides because the greens we ordered were incredible and a bit hidden in their online menu.We ordered the morning glory (water spinach), steamed fish (branzino in cilantro and lime), crab fried rice, and chicken wings. We also got complimentary shrimp chips and the Thai tea. The morning glory was familiar, with all the flavors we’d expect. The steamed fish was succulent and surprisingly deboned. The crab fried rice was full of lumps of crab and umami taste without too much salt. The wings, dry fried with a zest seasoning reminded me of my travels in Thailand with fall of the bone lean meat.Only 2 things could have been better. I know that digital menus are the new norm, but ordering off of a mobile menu in a dim lit restaurant is tough, especially with an extensive menu that is split up between tabs. Secondly, the steamed fish came with a burner for the steam tray, but fuel was letting off an offensive fume that became frustrating after some time.“

“Absolutely delicious Thai food!The crab fried rice was incredibly good with lots of crab and not overly oily. The lemon provided a good balance of flavor. The portion was huge but since it was so good, I finished the entire thing (didn't even expect I'd be able to!)My friend has the beef short rib which I tried a little, and immediately decided this would be my order next time! It melts in your mouth with a rich coconut flavor.I also enjoyed the Thai tea. Could be a little less sweet just to stay healthy but the taste was great as is.“

“A great spot in the UES for Thai. They have lots of great options - I got the Khao Soi today. The chicken is super tender and rich. The broth is creamy and bursting with flavor. I got Thai spicy level which wasn’t really that spicy to me… I love spicy food though!Decent portion size for the price for the khao soi. I think the other portion sizes are a bit smaller for the price point in my opinion.Good spot for a date or casual dinner“

“Finally tried Sala Thai for the first time, food was good. The mango sticky rice was amazing!! Only critique is that service was almost nonexistent. Immediately after getting the dessert we were given the bill and 5 minutes later the waiter abruptly stated to us “can you pay the bill? I am done with my shift.” It caught my friend and I off guard. I’d return for the food, maybe just for takeout.“

“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??“

“The ambiance here is so warm, bright, and inviting! The staff here is very friendly and attentive. The food here is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced too compared to other Thai spots. This place is large enough for small to large groups; great for birthday dinners with a lot of people.“

“Royal Pad Thai is very delicious! Not too sour or spicy. There are very special egg pancakes and shrimps.MOO-OBB NAM PUAUNG is seasoned grilled pork chop, perfect for flavor! ! delicious! !Kao Tang Na Tung appetizer, rice pancakes with meat sauce on top, surprisingly delicious! !Red curry crispy duck, coconut milk-flavored duck, super delicious“

“Bangkok Supper Club is undeniably the best Thai restaurant in NYC. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a cozy and warm atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The host's warm welcome adds to the inviting ambiance, making you feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the food--it's simply outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Lin Yang (beef tongue) grilled charcoal, a dish that bursts with flavor and tenderness. Another must-try is the octopus with fried onion, a delightful combination of textures and tastes that leave a lasting impression. What truly sets Bangkok Supper Club apart, though, is the exceptional service. I can confidently say it's the best I've ever experienced. The servers Pat are attentive, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Overall, Bangkok Supper Club is a gem in NYC's culinary scene, offering not just incredible food but also a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service that make every visit a delight.“

“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!“

“I love coming here on my lunch break. They have a lunch special, a small app and then a full entree for 10.95! I usually get the spring rolls, but I always change up what I eat as the main because the food is amazing here. Also! It’s mango sticky rice season, please eat it, I am obsessed!!!!“

“Food overall was delicious, I tried one of the cocktails was also well made and tasty. Was a little noisy but expected from a popular restaurant. Service was great and always ask if we are good with everything or if we needed anything. A must try when in time square.“

“One of the most delicious Thai restaurants I've had in New York City! The shrimp was so juicy and plump. I couldn't believe how fresh it was. The workers were so patient and accommodating as well. Love seeing their fun, tropical uniforms! There's a reason this place is packed. Go try!“

“amazing food. I recommend all my friends here. What I had the last time I went... App - Curry Puff - Thai dumpling Entree - Red curry beef - Khao soi nua Drink - Thai ice tea - Pi-lin (Mocktail) Dessert - Banana sticky rice You HAVE to try this place.“

“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.“

“Quaint little spot serving authentic Thai cuisine. Rode 70 miles from Dyker Heights & decided to grab an evening bite & drink.Had the Khao Soi Chiang Mai as main dish. Coconut shrimp is phenomenal appetizer. The hot sake went well with the curry flavors. I would have gotten the bottled beer but $8 is such a waste, Sake it is.Indoor is tight & cozy. Outdoor is a bit much traffic. Would return again to try the duck & other curry flavors ??“

“Cute restaurant and great service. Chicken curry puffs were made with mochi (or tasted like) which was interesting.Sriracha wings and the pork skewers did not impress us.The garlic steak stir fried udon was pretty good, I asked for it to be more “al dente” and I think they tried.“

“We order take out from here often but dined in before too. The things we order most often are the Larb Salad, the Tom Kha, the short rib either in Khao Soi (as pictured here) or the curry version, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, basil rice. I like how they have the options of crispy pork belly and crispy duck but after trying it 3-4 times, it's almost always overcooked and dry. Almost like it's been refried several times and becomes tough. Instead I'd recommend the rib since it's pretty tender. Definitely get Khanom Tuay if you like coconut, mochi-like, dessert.“

“Love love Wondee Siam! It's now my go-to spot for satisfying my cravings for delicious Thai cuisine. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed!“

“Great Thai restaurant with an authentic taste and delicious desserts!Great daily specials and amazing atmosphere. Get the wings with a cold beer while you wait for soup and noodles.This spot is definitely a must try Thai in Astoria.Delicious!!!!“

“I've never had Malaysian food and this restaurant definitely set the bar high for future Malaysian meals! Everything was so good and the portion size is very good. Got three entrees and an appetizer for three people and it was more than enough. My favorite dish was the curry laksa soup! The Thai iced tea is delicious and comes in a very fun cup! I gave this place four stars though because of the service. We had a reservation for 8pm and was not seated until 8:25pm. Seems like this is pretty common if you read other reviews so definitely expect a wait.“

“Some of the best massaman curry I've ever had! The cocktails were also fantastic, and the restaurant space itself was really lovely with lots of plants. The menu is sophisticated and everything looked delicious. Would definitely come back.“

“This place is such a gem. I went with friends but it would also be a great first date spots with only 30 seats (plus another 8 at the bar) - started with the Kanom Jeeb Pak and Kanom Jeeb dumplings which were both delicious and my friends and I shared the rib eye which was unbelievably flavorful and cooked to perfection along with the pad thai (which they made veggie for my friend who doesn’t eat meat) and the pad see ew. The desserts can’t be missed (we tried all three) and the service was standout. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: They were able to adapt dishes to make them vegetarian and also had a number of veggie options“

“Went here last weekend to have lunch with our daughter who goes to St. Johns. Parked right on the corner (Metered ) no parking lot for those wanting to know. Mostly college crowd. Service was quick and good. Photos from others are the same as ours so i won't post. We would definitely go back again.“

“i’m from philadelphia and i frequent brooklyn a lot. this place is always on the list for dinner! i get the lemongrass fried rice with fresh grilled salmon, and it is amazing! by far the best thai restaurant i’ve EVER been to. some nights i dream of the food ����“

“Authentic flavors and so delicious. The pad Thai was the perfect amount of sauce and so flavorful. I loved it!!!! Noodles were soft n chewy at the same time. Fresh crunchy vegetables. Clean ambiance and very friendly man working here!! Absolutely amazing and great prices.“

“We stopped by for brunch at peak hours without a reservation and the wait was only 30 min for 4 people. First of all, the Thai Tea French Toast ($15) is an absolute MUST HAVE. It was a unanimous favorite- the salted condensed milk and Thai Tea butter are heavenly. The stuffed cabbage ($25) was also a great choice because of the sauce. The phat see ew and phat Thai ($25 for beef, $24 for chicken) were solid choices, but I had expected a larger portion for that price. The disco fries ($13) and roti ($12) were okay. For drinks, we shared a punch bowl, which was STRONG and definitely enough for 4-6 people. Some dishes had a long wait and I did think the cost was high for the sizes, but I would still recommend coming at least for the French toast!“

“The food at Somtum Der was really good. My favorite dish was the Larb Moo salad, which was flavorful and paired nicely with a side of white rice. I also had the Sa Poak Kai Tod Der, which was also good. I thought the chicken could have had more flavor on its own but it was great paired with the sauce it came with. Their menu has a really good lunch special deal that I think would definitely be worth coming back to try. Our server was great and very attentive. We sat in the booths in the back which were a bit snug but the overall ambiance was nice.“

“Small and friendly local Thai restaurant where service is attentive and the dishes are always flavorful and on point. Have ordered numerous menu options and the chef never disappoints. Highly recommend ?I would add a photo but it would just be of a bunch of very empty plates.“

“One of my favorite cheap eats in Manhattan. I cannot explain how much I love this place. You go up to the counter to order and the food is ready within 5 minutes and served directly to your small table. And even though the restaurant itself is tiny, there always seems to be an open seat as people eat and leave very quickly. I ordered the Fried Chicken Rice and it was delicious!! Although there isn't a lot of chicken, the fried bits are fried to perfection as it isn't too oily and full of flavor. I especially liked dipping it into the sour and spicy sauce which elevated the chicken. The rice is also to die for as it is seeped with chicken broth, you can just eat this alone without anything else. Also, the soup is incredible as I love how much white pepper they put into the broth, the flavors are so incredibly intense. I love ME Chicken Rice. Probably top 10 favorite eats in NYC!“

“I ordered for delivery to a hotel downtown. Thai iced coffee, pad Thai chicken, fried shrimp roll and beef satay. Good was decent. Beef was a bit tough, the chicken was overcooked and they gave me tea instead of coffee. Also wish they would have bright me some utensils as I told them we are staying a a hotel. I would try them again at the restaurant to see if it’s better.Oh and the tea was half spilled, but that can happen in delivery. Maybe they can take a bit better care in how they pack.“

“The food was delicious!!!! A friend told me that it would be very spicy, but I didn’t find it to be so. (Definitely had a zip to it but not too extreme) Service was attentive and pleasant. The only downside was the seating. The chairs were more like elementary school short stools. Quite uncomfortable, but I’d definitely go back just for the food!“

“I have been coming to this establishment since it was legit a box on the block. If you walked too fast you'd miss it...and I'm so excited and impressed on how they've transformed to become such edgy, dateworthy and "Instagrammable" sit down dining restaurant.Prices & Food: very reasonable, includes lunch time specials that won't dent the pockets. I haven't had all of the dishes on the menu but the ones that I have had I enjoyed. I ❤️ the fact that they stay true to their roots regarding heat levels. They don't dummy it down for us NYers..you came there remember! On the flip..they should stay true to their roots and not serve fried chicken wings the way we do up here. That was a miss ?Cleanliness: ? they nailed it! The bathroom decor is something I'd be inspired to copy and VERY clean, smells good, etc. I hold a sanitation certificate so EVERYWHERE I go I'm looking in corners, looking at the ceiling, under the tables..I need to know my area is clean to enjoy my food! 5stars!Service: No complaints. Each server has been attentive and patient; never really hovering to rush me and my party out so much appreciated ?I would very much recommend coming here. Nice for a solo date or bring a party. The place is inviting and seats about 40 people in total I believe. Warm months brings outside dining, never done it, but it looks ?Wheelchair accessibility: Establishment provides outdoor dining and has a ramp! Thoughtful!“
