Come visit New York. I want to eat mixed fermented pork. Someone just recommended this shop. So I ordered several menus. I have to admit that the fermented fermented pork at the restaurant is very delicious and the Thai salted egg salad has a perfectly mellow taste, but.. the papaya salad with crab and fermented fish and the Tam Mua are a bit too salty. Reducing the saltiness would be very good. But overall it's okay.

Cozy place with friendly staff and very proper Thai food. Must try the Cha Yen!I am happy they did not try to adjust to local tastes; it has all the right flavours!

When you come here, you should try the pad see ew, fried calamari, and the crab rice! Soo yummy. Drinks are also cheap! Really good place to kick back and chill after a hard day's work.

**CASH ONLY!!** I don't know if it was the random Thursday night we were out or if 5:30pm is the time for everyone in Jackson Heights to go to get cash, but it was a headache to get cash. Thus, my recommendation is to have cash BEFORE you come to Jackson Heights. There is a Bank of America ATM IN the station near the 74th Street exit and a Chase ATM on 75th Street outside the station. Both lines were long. I first stopped by to check out the wait time at 5:20, and it was pretty empty. I then went to grab cash. By the time my friend and I got cash, it was closer to 6pm, and we snagged the last table in the restaurant.My friend got a small tom yum soup ($8) and I got massamun curry with chicken ($16). There was a lot of raw cilantro in my friend's soup, and that was not to her taste. For me, the curry was less sweet than I am used to. I asked for mild spiciness, since other reviews mentioned authentic spice levels, and I had no issues with the spice level. The curry just reminded me more of a red curry than a massamun curry. For a place that is cash only, the prices are on the higher side. Since this is a similar price point to the Thai places in Woodside, I would prefer to go to those over this one, since they have larger spaces and are not cash only.Service here was fantastic! There were so many check-backs, everyone who helped us was extremely welcoming and friendly, and our waters were constantly refilled. They also did not pressure us in any way to leave, and kept offering to refill our water. Overall, the food was still good, so if you have cash and are in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by!

Food is very good, atmosphere is good but SERVICE IS BAD. VERY BAD. My friend took me there to have dinner and we met after very long time and we ordered lots of of food and wanted to sit and enjoy our food, but WE KEPT GETTING ASKED IF WE WERE DONE, so that they can sit other people which wasn’t pleasing so we decided to get the check and leave and when we gave tips, THE WAITER CAME TO US AND DEMANDED FOR MORE, showing us the check which was very unpleasant and hostile. My friend wanted to give more tips and then when I questioned the waitress, she got mad at us and then THREW THE CHECK SAYING SHE DOESNT WANT IT ANYMORE.Moral of the story: To the management, your chef is good and you might get a lot of people but if your servers aren’t good then you won’t have returning customer.

My bf’s fav thai restaurant in New York. Really authentic. Everything tastes so delicious. My fav is bbq pork, smells super great. The only downside is the shop is not spacious and too crowded.

Eating well-cooked food isn't just about eating vegetables or shrimp. Delicious food makes people happy because it eats the heart of the person who made it. I enjoyed that kind of food today and I taste happiness on a lonely and sad day. I've eaten tom yum soup in many places in New York, but this place is by far the best!
