Playground Thai Rest. - Jackson Heights

Authentic Thai cuisine. Taste exactly like I had it in Thailand. Be cautious with spice level though. My spice tolerance is very high. Even for me, medium spicy makes me tear. This is a small restaurant in Queens, Jackson Height which portrays delicious food. I recommend to try papaya salad with dry shrimp (mild spicy), seafood Tom Yum soup (appropriate amount of seafood in it), Plain Morning Glory (fried watercress w. Garlic). Also try chicken Gizzard which is comparable w. Cold beer.

We ordered crab fried rice, bbq beef, drunken noodle and thai iced tea. The bbq beef was a bit pricey and also not that good but everything else was. Crab fried rice stood out. It was really good, I highly recommend it. The staff working there were very friendly and respectful. We called and asked when they close at. It was a sunday night so they said they cant take anyone after 11:15 pm. We were 5 minutes late and the kitchen was about to close but they still let us dine in. You cant find such nice staff these days who care about their customer’s satisfaction, especially the hostess there. Keep up the good work.

The food is exquisite. The flavors are complex, and the server was really thoughtful about recommending spice levels for multiple dishes that made sense together. (The food is spicy so prepare to sweat! The happy hour was reasonable too and the drinks were STRONG. I got the sour curry with a mixed papaya salad, fish cakes, and a mojito. I plan to return.

This is our favorite quick lunch/dinner spot in queens. Grabbed mango salad with shrimp and BBQ beef salad. Shrimp was cooked just right not too cooked and can’t go wrong with bbq beef salad. Also had a side of sticky rice ? which helped with the spice ?️

I 've been comin ' here since 2017 but last night was so annoying, me and and my wife was dine in and aour bill was came to $86, because the restaurant was cash only and i only bring $100 in my wallet yes that was my mistake, i just finish from work and got no time to atm to take more money i gave them total of $96 including the tip once again i know this is wrong to tip just 10% and i 'm sorry for that i cannot leave my wallet empty at all its gonna bring me a bad luck so i spare a $4 to put inside my wallet,gave the bill back to the waitress and said all set , she returned again the tip back to my wife and said we didn 't put a service charge on your bill with a very annoyed face and asking us to calculate again the money are you out of your f mind!!! put a service charge on 2 person dining !! you want me to report you on 311!! the b so arrogant and shaming us in the front of another customer!! my wife dont want to make a ruckus so just give them all of the extra $4 and leave me with an empty wallet , next time ill just order take out, i 'll pour my own tap water , i 'll save $14 from doing so :
