Food was bland. I read the reviews that they have the best thai iced tea but mine was watered down. For the price I paid, the food and drink were not worth it.

Amazing chicken pad Thai, it was not heavy on my stomach which I had had in different places I ordered pad Thai. Just simply really tasty and fresh. Will definitely order again and if the food is good enough for me to write a review means it was really that great and the food was ready so fast I’m just amazed, the lady who attended me was so sweet and professional, great job sweet basil ? ??

Me and my wife chose this place over many other choices we had. We decided to go in a pouring rainstorm. Main door was stuck and we struggle to open while the waiter stand and looked at us with an expression “why are you here?”. Forget about smile, “how many?” We said and she just left the menus at the table. There was no body in the restaurant entire time but she never attended our table, we had to seek for her attention all the time. She didn’t explain much and limited her answer to yes or no. Though food was ok, her attitude destroyed our date night and we left with regrets.There are quite a few places in woodside Ave that treat you like human regardless of how you look or dress. Don’t go there!!

Great choice for Thai in queens. We tried a few things, all had different favorites. Alll very flavorful and fresh, a bit spicy the drunken noodles. Great service, quick, well priced. Cute inside!

Do not go there. A total waste of money. It tastes like a Fujienese Chinese people pretend to be Thai .. the saurces tastes like it came from packaged , also very watery. The advertised as jasmine rice being served, is in fact cheap Chinese ordinary Chinese that they served. Portions are very small also the charge $2 for one scoop. It is full of MSG. Is imitation time for Americans only. The original owner must have sold to these bad Chinese. By the way I'm Chinese myself. Don't call me racist I just want to point out the scammers and cheaters in our business.

Compared to other Thai food imo in this area, this is not a serious Thai restaurant. Let's drop by just out of the convenience. I order ton yum soup and Gei gar Prao. The chicken with basil was pretty good however is too saucy, lacking wok-hee that you normally found in good Thai restaurants.. the ton-yum soup was poor, it just tastes like chicken soup with some spices in it. To have no flavor, you cannot taste any lemongrass flavor or pungeness s or any fresh Herb in it. It was watery and it just using some red Thai curry... Also, rices bowl tiny in size, set jasmine rice but in fact it is cheap Chinese mainland rice. Not jasmine rice at all. It is cheating, not be coming of authentic Thai restaurant. This is a so-called Thai restaurant probably run by some Chinese cooks, tend to be a Thai restaurant. Don't go there if you want genuine Thai food. Ok There are plenty of good Thai places around within two blocks.

The food was below average. So far I have been to thai places all over manhattan, brooklyn and queens so I can confidently say that the quality of food was way below the average, the rice was bland and had a weird soap taste. The soup tasted a bit like tap water.Otherwise the service was nice and the place looks good. Hopefully others have better luck than me.

Food is absolutely amazing! The best Pad Thai I’ve ever had (which I had with tofu), along with absolutely delicious Vegetable Spicy Basil Fried Rice.Service is quick, efficient, but again absolutely amazing food. 10/10 would go back in a heartbeat.Vegetarian options: Has wide variety of vegetarian options. Waitress also clarifies food options in case an individual is vegan too.

Vegans rejoice! They have amazing plant based options here. So, I totally didn’t get photos because we were so hungry. But the spring rolls are vegan, the regular salad with peanut sauce is also a winner, and we got the spicy tofu… it even comes with rice! Definitely would recommend. It’s a cute little restaurant and the service was 6/5. ?
