This is a lovely little spot for delicious Thai food. The portions are generous. We ordered Pad Ke Mao, Panang Curry, and the meatballs (I can't remember the name). The service is also great.

I don't know why this place doesn't have a 5 star rating yet. This is the best place for Thai food in Queens. I've been coming here for years. Try the Raw Shrimp salad with garlic, cilantro. Holy monkeys, it's so damn good. Your regular dishes Kee Mao, Fried rice, PraKha King, all sauteed meats are always delicious but be adventurous and order other things off the menu, you can't go wrong. Fish cakes, calamari, spring rolls , soft shell crabs, Thai iced tea are also greatapps. Enjoy! Also, they're Cash Only!!!

I have seen this restaurant a lot of times while walking into the train station. So, I decided to give it a shoot and have dinner here with a friend. I share a few appetizers with my friend. Num Tok Beef a salad that has grilled beef with onion,chili, lime juice and roasted rice with a touch of medium spiciest, be careful they don't play around went they talked aboutspicy food, although my palate could handle the degree of spices, it was spicier than I was expected, the beef was very juicythe lime gives it a great taste I recommend getting this to share because the portion is just perfect to share. Grilled Porkanother great appetizer to share with a party which is served with tamarind sauce, pork was cooked perfectly the sauce was agreat way to dip the pork to give that extra taste. For my main disk, I had the Drunken Noodles chicken I notice there was nota lot of protein on my plate, but the noddle was not bad but like the salad was spicier than I was expected. But overall was notbad. The place is pretty small so is kind of difficult to get a table. Another bad thing about the restaurant is that is onlycash so no debit or credit card accepted.
