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.

This is a cozy hole in the wall spot for amazing Thai food! The staff are really nice and the food is authentic. The bbq is perfect of small groups - you grill the meat on the top dome and the meat juices will fall into the soup that is around the rim. By the middle of the meal, the soup is so delicious!! We all could not stop drinking it. Also, there is a savory, slightly spicy sauce that pairs perfectly with the bbq meats. Mookata is super popular in Thailand so happy to find it in NY! A must order is the pandan toast - the milk bread is warm and soft and light. When dipped in the pandan sauce, the combo is just heavenly! Their appetizers are worth trying too! We tried the fish balls, chive cakes, and the E-San sausage. All of them were delicious and came with different sauces. The fan favorites were the chive cakes and the sausage! I tried the Ovaltine volcano for the drink and it was a chocolatey, decadent slush. I will definitely be coming back if I am in the area again!!

Delicious Yen-Ta-Fo Noodles and fried fish balls. I went to this restaurant so many time and food is always the same quality. Easy and friendly vibes all over the place. Nice service and super casual. You will see a lot of Thai people hanging out around.

Extremely savory noodle soups, but wait, save room for some pandan and toast, with a Thai iced tea shaved ice to match. Life changing!

I like their shaved ice with many ingredients. the toast dessert is also tasty. The staff is friendly. The cafe doesn't have much space and is not very clean.

For a mere $7 - the small serving of Duck Noodle Soup was so satisfying. The broth was rich and flavorful. There was an ample amount of duck, a few meaty mushrooms and a tangle of toothsome noodles. Lisa R. Had the Thai Tea Shaved Ice, an immense mountain of delicate flakes, served with condensed mil, sweet bread cubes and boba. Refreshing

Great service, great food. Got the nam tok noodle, and in general if you cant handle spicy, please let them know to adjust it!

Limiting this review and rating to be for their desserts only, as we have not yet had a chance to try their other food. Stopped by for some quick dessert with my boyfriend's family after dinner nearby. The small cafe is unassuming from the outside, but screams authenticity as soon as you step in. The outdoor seating area is plastered with different menu items written in Thai (some with English translations, some without). It's the definition of no frills, but in a way that seems to promise you that the food will be absolutely delicious. I definitely want to come back to try their other food! As for dessert, my boyfriend and I split a condensed milk toast and thai iced tea. You really can't go wrong with condensed milk, sugar, and toast, so as expected, it was delicious. The price point for it though, was a tad bit pricey for what it is. Thai iced tea was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Our waitress was incredibly kind and patient with our large party. Service was quick & efficient!

Another wonderful place to eat and relax in Elmhurst! The pork blood soup was the best I've had since Chiang Mai and the pandan custard bread tasted absolutely amazing. I've been having dreams about it now 555555 They make a nice durian smoothie too.The staff are SUPER friendly and welcoming. This is becoming one of my new favorite places. ขอบคุณมากครับ ❤️??

Friendly, fast service. I had a Vietnamese iced coffee, but no food. They do have a full menu. I liked it, because it felt like a visit to SE Asia.

Cute space though I think it's more pleasant to go at night during the summer when it's cooler since it's open air and no AC even on the inside cuz they don't have a closed space. There is a 10 dollar per min per person if you eat in but I think it's reasonable esp during busy times when people drink or have desserts. I didn't ask them though if they would enforce it when there was no one there during the afternoon but my friends and I wanted to try a few things anyway. This is only for drinks/desserts- it was too hot to order their bbq or hot pot given the weather. The drinks were very good- milo brown sugar drink was excellent. Not too sweet and the boba wasn't round but firmer pieces of grass jelly that you can chew- pretty good and refreshing. The cappuccinos Oreo slush was super strong and good for coffee drinkers. The olvatine drink was tasty and malty. The only disappointment was the Thai rooty tooty- I felt like the Thai tea wasn't coming through and just tasted like vanilla with no real tea flavor to it. This place is cute to come for snacks. Will be back again.

Nice place to enjoy Thai street food . I would recommend a set of Thai BBQ. And all kind of dessert is what I could die for?

The food looks good but honestly it doesn’t have a good flavor, to be Thai kind of disappointing and doesn’t worth the price either.I didn’t like the restaurant, looks dirty and messy ??
