50 Best Thai Restaurants near Fresh Meadows

“super rico todo lo recomiendo al 💯“

“The best Thai food I’ve had in NYC - I’m speaking both as a NYC native foodie and as someone’s who’s had the same food made in Thailand - so trust me! Truth be told, my friend randomly chose this place on Maps, but we ended up truly loving everything we got and bookmarking this restaurant. For the appetizer we had tofu (crunchy and soft!) with peanut sauce, tom yum hot pot for the entire table, mango salad with salmon, green curry (which came in a cute little pot), and tom kha coconut milk soup with chicken for myself. Our entire meal was so filling and comforting. The drinks and desserts looked extremely good on the menu, but pricy for us. I would say that everything we ordered was worth the bill, though! They have some outdoor seating with shade, which I’m sure is very nice in mild weather, but the inside was so vibrant and cozy, full of colors and music. I am definitely coming here again!“

“My grandma and I always go here and get pad Thai with mock duck. The food is heavenly! Anything good you could say about the food is true! The duck is crispy on the outside and buttery melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, and the flavor of the sauce is just incredible! The glass noodles are light and have a perfect texture. The regular noodles are filling and also perfect. Oh- and the peanut sauce that comes with the salad is the best peanut sauce you could ever imagine! It’s so addicting, and has a tad kick to it (I think you can only get that at lunch though). My grandma and I only ate there in person a couple times, but the service was great, considering how crowded the restaurant always is (I think the fact that it’s always stuffed to the brim is a sign of a good restaurant :). They had good vibes and a really chill aesthetic. We always get the food delivered, and it comes in a really short amount of time. My grandma also loves this food; we get food that’s not spicy, because we are both sensitive to spice (but if you like spice, they have dishes with that too). I wanted to think of something I didn’t like here, but I can’t! All in all, eat here!! (Also, hack for more duck; when asking for extra mock duck, ask for it in a separate container; that way you can see just how much you’re getting, and they can’t skimp! The logic behind this is when there’s an already full container full of food, you can’t add that much more duck; so when you have a separate container, they can fill it all the way up!)“

“Jenny was our server, and she was amazing! She was so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend coming here it’s family-friendly, and the food and drinks are 10/10. Everything was delicious, and the service made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“the food is delicious I enjoyed the spicy food“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Authentic Thai cuisine with amazing portions. Staff was so friendly and loved that he knew what we wanted to try and gave us great recommendations. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area.“

“Excellent lunch menu prices and great food. very polite personnel and great Birthday singing. tried fried ice cream which was delicious. Would definetly go back again.“

“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.“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

“The food was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The tomato salad was so fresh and flavorful, and the Short ribs Massaman was definitely one of the highlights—so rich and delicious!

We came on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was pretty busy, but the service was still warm, attentive, and friendly. Everyone made sure we were taken care of even during the rush, which we really appreciated. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“The space is configured like a film set: you are in some backwater honkytonk in a remote outpost in Thailand in the 70’s. Psychedelic Thai music along with some disco blares loudly beneath the flickering lights, corrugated metal awnings, advertisements for beer, Fanta, god-knows-what hair care products — it actually looks like a sort of Thai bodega. Leaning forward from your antique movie theatre seat and peering into the downstairs you see large glass jars illuminated with red light. Some Mephistophelian herbal concoctions. On a large screen plays some grainy indifferent Bruce Lee knockoff from the 70’s. You get the picture….“

“I loved every minute of the service. Food was delicious & that mango sticky rice was exceptional! The waitress was awesome & I had a quick chat with Terry who was extremely kind. I will definitely come back if I’m ever back in town.“

“We came on a Thursday right before the 4th. We were immediately seated and noticed the place was a little warm. Not a big deal because it is one of the hottest days this summer. It's almost 100. We got the High Mixed appetizer and the chicken pad Thai. The sampler was good. Spring rolls were good and the dumplings were good. Couldn't do the crab for seafood allergy but the fourth item, we didn't like. It was the texture and didn't have the flavor I was expecting based on the presentation. Service was ok. They had a little bit of a crowd and got them out of there promptly. The pad Thai was really good. It had the perfect amount of flavor and it was light. We needed it to be light because it is hot outside and we still have a lot of walking to do. Overall, it was good. That last item on the High Mixed can go.“

“Tried this Thai restaurant in Sunnyside and it didn’t disappoint. The thai fried rice & green curry were flavorful & met my taste expectations. The curry puff had a perfectly flaky crust, & the pumpkin custard dessert was a sweet, satisfying finish. Overall, a good choice for tasty Thai food.“

“I have gone here for the past 2 years I’ve lived in Brooklyn, very frequently. This is by far my favorite and go to spot. I am so sad to be moving out of the city solely because I won’t be able to return here. They have truly the best waiters and waitress and the food has never disappointed. They will be very missed!!“

“Very pleasant experience! Food was delicious, my kids loved every moment, and the ambience 😍“

“Thanks so much for the wonderful job. The food was great and your staff was wonderful as well."“

“We went there yesterday and had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely amazing. Even though they were a bit short-staffed last night, the lovely aunty went above and beyond, doing her absolute best to make sure every customer was happy. We completely fell in love with the appetizers, mains, and the mango sticky rice.“

“Pickleball got cancelled thanks to the rain, so we pivoted to Koo Thai and have no regrets.

After an indecisive debate between Thai, Mediterranean, and Indian food, Thai was the winner. The basil fried rice and Panang curry were comforting and the colors were beautiful. The restaurant is a sweet little space and a rainy-night win.“

“What a great hole in the wall for authentic Thai cuisine. This place has only been open for 3 years, but I sense they will be open for years to come.

The food is incredible, the service was quick, and the a/c was running.

My friend and I shared the som tum with shrimp (with fermented fish sauce), fried chicken skins, and hainanese/fried chicken combo. Everything was incredibly packed with umami, spice, and tang, perfect for a hot summer day.

The som tum with fermented fish sauce is authentic and reminded me of my trip to Bangkok many years ago. It was refreshing, spicy, and packed with flavor from the papaya and sauces. The shrimp was tender and melted in my mouth.

The fried chicken/hainanese chicken combo was also sublime. It was tender, and really paired well with the rice. I love how there wasn’t much bone to the chicken, which made it really easy to eat. I loved it with the sweet and sour sauce, giving it more dimension.

The fried chicken skins were such a great appetizer. I wish it was served warm, but overall, it complimented the som tum we had.

Would I come back to this place? Absolutely. I highly recommend this spot for diners who want an authentic Thai street food experience, and I cannot wait to come back and try the other specialties they have to offer.“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“Great Thai food in the city.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“Must try... Great hospitality and food. Yummy 😋“

“Good food , great service“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“Hello, this is my first time trying Thai food. Excellent service and AAAA+++++“

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

“We went the other day with family, and it's not enough to say we were completely blown away by how good this restaurant was! The service was incredibly warm and helpful, and the Thai BBQ was a truly tasty and fun experience. They serve meat and can also make soup – it was a really fun and delicious experience!“

“Ambiance and variety of food not found in normal Thai restaurant. Food is great. Will come back again“

“ไปกินกี่ครั้งก็ไม่เคยผิดหวัง อร่อยทุกเมนู รสชาติไทยแท้ๆ“

“😍 The food is fantastic , also the service i enjoyed the whole brunch with friends“

“A bartender in the area recommended this place to us and I am so glad she did. It is a whole vibe. Dim lighting, great music, and beautiful decor. We ordered curry puffs to start. 10/10 recommend. The pastry was delicious and the sauce was to die for. Next we shared the beef drunken noodle level 1. Another 10/10. Perfectly seasoned and spiced. We ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert. It wasn't my cup of tea because warm sauce, mango, and rice is too much texture for me but my partner loved it. They had happy hour until 7 (even though it was saturday) so we also each had a Johnny Sour which was amazing. 1 was more than enough. Overall portions were a good size, good was amazing, great service, and fun atmosphere. Go give it a try if you haven't already!“

“Love the customer service and food as well as setting.“

“bet atmospheric place in Jackson Heights“

“Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had in a while.

Last night I ordered from Thai Tree through Seamless and an hour passed with no update. I called to check in and got pulled into a back-and-forth — turns out they’d been slammed with a large party and hadn’t seen my order come through on their end. The woman I spoke with was trying her best, but the wires were crossed. She said she’d call me back.

About thirty minutes later, a gentleman called, apologized sincerely, and gently asked if I’d be willing to cancel. I told him I couldn’t, not through Seamless (if you’ve ever tried to get a refund from them, you know exactly what I mean). He said, okay, let me see what I can do.
It was late. He asked if I still wanted the order. I said yes — I still wanted my order. And no, I couldn’t come pick it up — I was home, sick, and at that point the Uber to go get an $80 order would’ve run me another $20. He said he’d figure it out.
They made it. They delivered it. And it was, without exaggeration, some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life.

I’m a business owner. I understand what a night like that looks like from the inside, and I know how easy it is for things to fall through the cracks. What matters is how you handle it — and they handled it. Five stars across the board. As soon as my schedule clears, I fully intend to come in and sit down for a proper dinner.“

“We waited for our order because the server forgot about us… to compensate we were given free tea and ginger ale! The food is good same as before when we first started eating there since it opened in Woodside!“

“Of course it’s a basic dish that every Thai restaurant has — but the crispy pork basil at this place is hands down the best in the neighborhood.
I highly recommend this small restaurant — the flavors are anything but ordinary.“

“Clean and bright, friendly and accommodating service. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Everything was delicious!“

“Great, delicious Thai food. The Thai Tea is amazing and the prices are great! The staff is also incredibly kind and dedicated!“

“Great food clean area good costumer service Love it ❤️❤️❤️“

“Had a lovely meal tonight. The three of us shared the Kee Mao with chicken, the Crispy Three Flavors Duck, and the Hat Yai Fried Chicken. The duck and the Kee Mao were the standouts for us. The staff were really friendly, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Will happily return to try more dishes!“

“Had a great experience at Playground, The servers were very friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and tasted authentic Thai. Definitely recommend this place if you love tasty Thai food.

Try at your our risk “Tom Yum Poh Tak soup (Super Spicy)” . All the way we came this Playground Thai only for “Tom Yum Poh Tak Soup“ We loved it.“

“I'm Malaysian and let me tell you that this is home to the BEST nasi lemak in the city. The sambal is 12/10 sedap (delicious). Everything on the menu we tried was a banger. Can't wait to come back. Note that the space is a little tight, so plan accordingly. The family that runs this place are lovely.“

“Food Was Great Server Could Have Been More Attentive & Paid More Attention Maybe Because We Were Sitting Outside :/ Recommend Food For Sure“
