17 Best Thai Restaurants in Elmhurst

“My daughter graduated college and this was her choice for a family dinner after such a long day! Such an amazing experience. From the second we arrived until we left service was excellent. Thai food was delicious and the cocktails were unique and highly recommended. We had a decent size party and they accommodated us comfortably and every one of us enjoyed our meals.“

“Delicious food, delicious Thai-Laos flavor. Recommend to come to this restaurant you won't be disappointed.🤟👍“

“Came here with my wife and her cousin and husband for the first time. The food is delicious and the portions are good. They don't serve alcohol but it is BYOB there. We had the grilled pork chop, salmon appetizer and pork belly. We would definitely get everything again. When we were getting ready to leave we even ended up running into more of her family because they go there on the regular. Such a big world yet so small lol. See you guys next time. Thank you“

“Good food , great service“

“Who would have thought you’d get such raw, authentic Thai food in Queens, NYC?

This is real Thai cuisine — not toned down to suit foreign or Western taste buds. Even compared to the Thai food back home in Singapore, this felt far more unapologetic and true to its roots. From the bold spices to dishes like sour bamboo shoot fish, every bite genuinely transported me straight to Thailand.

Food was freshly prepared and tasted fantastic. Portions were generous, and prices were more than fair — three dishes with rice for about $16.

A must-visit if you love authentic Thai food.
Skip it if you’re here for Pad Thai with a special request for zero spice.

8.5/10 from me. 🌶️🇹🇭“

“Took my mom here for Mother’s Day. Service was great. You can tell it’s a family run restaurant. Food was authentic and delicious. Can be slightly pricey given the portions for that area of queens, but I think it’s worth it. For 5 people it was roughly $200 at the end. So not the worst :) seating is limited, but servers were friendly and accommodating. Will be back!“

“The restaurant serves amazing soups. Love it.“

“La comida es muy delicioso 🤤 se los recomiendo“

“Their fried rice, pad-see-ew, Thia iced tea“

“Chao Thai is a true hidden gem. It's the kind of low-key spot that makes you love New York. The food is clean, authentic, and the best. The spicy papaya salad (som tum) is the best I've ever tasted, and the jungle and green curries are addictively good. The pineapple duck is divine (according to my partner, he loves it). It's a genuine Thai restaurant that makes you feel like a guest in someone's home. It's just the best food, highly recommend!“

“stumbled upon this spot randomly and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing decor and vintage thai memorabilia. It was so cute! Also no wait which was a plus. For apps we got crispy rice balls and pickled green mango with mai dong herbal drink. The crispy rice was fried to perfection and the pickled mango with spicy chili powder (not sure what it was, kind of tastes like tajin) was yummy and juicy (kind of tasted like pickled daikon radish)!
My partner got the khai soi with waygu and i got the tom yum noodle soup. Both were soooo delicious and perfect. I keep thinking about the delicious pork in the tom yum soup (both roasted and ground) It was a memorable meal in elmhurst. Only cons are it’s cash only and no dessert :(“

“cute, casual thai place with quality homey dishes. service is always friendly, quick and environment is cozy. tables are a bit tighter together bc of the space but if you keep things to a smaller party its great. i love their kaprow tilapia and fried dumplings. their pork and rice soup is also great. theres no restroom but if you live nearby its easy to remember to go beforehand, if traveling it would be great to stop off at the mall or other destination first“

“I’ve been to every Thai restaurant in Elmhurst, and this place takes the crown. My boyfriend and I come here every weekend because the food is incredibly authentic. Their Saturday $6 boat noodles are absolutely amazing, and the papaya salad actually tastes traditional (so hard to find around here!). The staff are also amazing people. Highly recommend!“

“Food was sooo good. i’ll go again with my family & friends.“

“I love authentic Thai papaya salad.“

“I had a vegetarian ramen (with chili oil added since I love chili oil) for only $8 and it was such a wonderfully flavorful, delicious & filling meal!Notes:-I paid with cash (I’m not sure if there are other payment options)-Food court seating area was clean & nice!-Please make sure to tip if you’re able to & support this small business ?“
