Pochana Thai Kitchen - Astoria

It was alright. The pad Thai was a little dry and I wouldn't order the larb again, but the roti and curry plus the crab rangoon was excellent.

However, I found the whole Snapper Tamarind fish to be a bit disappointing. As a fish enthusiast, I expected more flavor, but it tasted quite plain and was overly fried, making it dry. Given the circumstances of the COVID pandemic, I believe the prices could be more reasonable. I spent $40, including the tip, but left still feeling a bit hungry. Overall, my experience was very good, and I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars, mainly because they use fresh ingredients. Plus, I'm happy to support a family-owned business. P.S. A special shoutout to June—she really knows her stuff!

Great service! The staff is wonderful and always smiling. I give it 3 points for the food. The presentation is nice, but my pad thai was overcooked, and the ice had a burnt taste.

It seems like the positive reviews are based on a different experience than mine. I ordered takeout and chose the pad see ew, but it was really dry and the flavor was off. I ended up discarding the protein and only ate the noodles.

My favorite Thai restaurant is one I constantly crave, particularly for their delicious fish curry.
