50 Best Thai Restaurants near Kew Gardens

“Tiny place that has great food. A few people could dine in if needed. Only problem I have is the portions have shrunk by a good 20 percent. We do a take out regularly (once a week) and find that over the past 5 months, the amount of food has decreased per order“

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

“This place is so homey. As a Thai who hasn't been back home for years, the dishes here really hit the spot. Their crab curry is very aromatic and rich in flavor (with a nice kick too). The softshell crab was so divine and the pork was delicious. We would definitely recommend!“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Didn’t expect to find my best crispy pork belly of the year at a Thai spot!!! The skin was insanely crisp yet slightly chewy. The dipping sauce on the side was perfectly balanced.

For the main, we went with the panang short ribs. The beef was coated in a rich, mildly spicy curry. We added steamed veggies instead of rice and they fit curry.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

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

“This Thai restaurant in Brooklyn is absolutely amazing. Every dish tasted authentic and full of flavor. I really loved the decoration and overall atmosphere, and the outdoor garden at the entrance is perfect for photos.

I highly recommend the Mook Kung Curry — it’s so flavorful and goes perfectly with rice. The Thai Style Pork Over Rice was also one of my favorites. The pork belly was fried crispy and delicious. Their cocktails were great too, and very beautiful.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and come back again!“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“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.“

“Sooooo good!“

“Where to start? It’s pretty much hole in the wall and rare gem on the south side of Willys. Ain’t no lies their rating attracted my picky tongues to this place. Ain’t no lies them stars did me no wrong. From start to finish, my food came out timely manners. Crying Tiger! Crispy Pork! Bottomless Mimosas!!!!! You get unlimited booze til loose!! Highly Recommend.“

“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?“

“Love the food and service Great place to go back again!!!!!“

“A true hidden gem in Brooklyn!! The food is top tier, taking Thai food to another level, but also has the classics for those who are looking for a comfort meal. We got the scallops and spicy fries for apps (would probably skip the fries, were good much better things on the menu). Got the crab curry noodles and lamb and both were 10000/10.

The atmosphere inside was a vibe even on a rainy day.

The service was 10/10. The young gentleman was so kind and helped us pick out the best items from the menu. He was attentive which was appreciated.

Lastly, I came with my newborn baby and stroller for brunch/early dinner and they were extremely accommodating and welcoming. We had no issues or pushback even though this was a higher end restaurant.“

“Came for the smashburger on NYE and it was probably the best burger I’ve had all year. The flavors work together so well with the perfectly juicy patty, and the fried duck egg (a must!) is the icing on the cake. Paired it with the rice lager beer and it was the perfect lunch - just wish they offered it during dinner as well. Service can be a bit slow during peak hours but they were all very nice.“

“Food is del. Quality food made with fresh ingredients. Best Thai food in queens in my opinion“

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

“The food was excellent - the crispy duck tasted very crispy with the sauce, and the chive pancake tasted better than any other pancake. The service was very fast when delivering the dishes, delivering them all within 10 minutes of placing an order. Lastly, the atmosphere was very pleasant, the waitresses were very friendly and responsive. Overall a great experience and would like to go there again!“

“We absolutely love Chu Ros Thai.
The ambiance is great, the service is always attentive and friendly, and the location and music make it such a relaxing place to unwind. The drinks are amazing too, consistently well made.

My girlfriend and I have been coming here almost every week, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Everything we’ve tried has been excellent. The Tom Kha soup is rich and comforting, the veggie emeralf dumplings are fresh and perfectly done, and the mango shrimp spicy salad was absolutely outstanding.

This place never disappoints. Highly recommended for great food, great vibes, and a consistently wonderful experience.“

“WOW!!! 10/10 would recommend and would 100% return. I booked as a surprise anniversary for my partner and I and expected it to be gimmicky - not at all!! The food alone is worth the price and more - phenomenal!! Creative and delicious. I’m not usually easily impressed, lived in nyc for 10 years and have dined at so many restaurants… this one really blew me away. And the experience!! The service!! It’s like a tour of Bangkok without being there - so cool. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“super rico todo lo recomiendo al 💯“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“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….“

“Our food was outstanding. We ordered takeout and ended up choosing the wrong location. They actually brought our food over to the restaurant we were waiting at despite our error. This was above and beyond and much appreciated. We will definitely go back.“

“A true hidden gem with incredible Thai food!
I really appreciate the variety of vegetarian options here - including mock duck so we have a protein option other than just tofu.
The Pad Se Ew with mock duck is one of the most flavorful versions of this dish I’ve had, and the Green Curry (with tofu) was perfection - not too spicy, incredibly tasty and bold. I also recommend getting some roti to soak up the extra curry.
The drinks are all more on the sweet side - I had the Miami Beach and it was tasty, but a little sweeter than my usual liking. The only reason for 1 less star is because I found the desserts to be a bit of a letdown - the lava cake had no lava and the coconut sticky rice was mostly just rice with some ice cream on top.
Aside from the desserts, everything was fabulous and I would come back!“

“This was for sure the highlight of my week. I stumbled in for lunch by chance and will absolutely be back. The food was incredible and the service was exceptional from start to finish. The manager and owner were both so kind, which made the experience feel even more special. I loved the pad Thai and Thai iced tea, and Gigi who took care of me was an absolute angel. She was so warm and kind and made the whole experience feel so personal and welcoming. The restaurnt itself was beautiful and the prices were very reasonable too.“

“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!“

“I had the hainanese chicken with liver over gingered rice, really well executed and super delicious. Absolutely loved the taro in coconut milk too , not too sweet, lands all the flavors I wanted in taro. Service was speedy and attentive, I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a great hidden gem for lunch. The space is cozy, aesthetic, and thoughtfully decorated — it has that perfect “hole in the wall” charm while still feeling cute and welcoming.

I ordered the lunch special and got the Thai basil fried rice with shrimp, along with soup and fried chicken, all for around $17, which is an amazing value for the portion size. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned.

I also grabbed a Thai iced tea to go for $6, and it was the perfect addition.

The service was attentive and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I didn’t feel rushed at all, which I really appreciated for a solo lunch.

Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and affordable Thai lunch.“

“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 .“

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

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

“My wife and I love this place. Usually get take out but dined in recently and absolutely loved it. We started with their Appetizer Combo that includes curry puffs, crab rangoons, chive pancakes and spring rolls, then had spicy Chicken Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice with Chicken. Everything is fresh and packed with flavor, which pairs well with their Thai Iced Teas. The owner/cook/server extraordinaire is super sweet too! Would highly recommend!“

“Shows let out late, and finding a place that's still serving quality food after 10 PM is a challenge. This place not only stays open, but the kitchen is clearly still operating at full capacity. We rolled in after curtain call, still buzzing from the performance, and they seated us warmly despite the late hour. The food was just as good as it would be at prime time—fresh, hot, thoughtfully prepared. They even recommended a nightcap that extended the evening beautifully. For theatergoers and night owls, this is your spot. Curtain up, then dinner here.“

“I had an excellent dining experience here. The dishes were perfectly seasoned, served hot, and presented beautifully. The staff provided friendly, efficient service, and the atmosphere was comfortable and clean. I highly recommend. Favorite food to get are Taro puff, Goong Nueng Ma Nao, Moo Yang , Pad Thai Lobster Tail, Khao Phad Pla Mueng, and Peek Gai Mak Khamin Tord“

“This is our second time coming here, and it’s already our new neighborhood favorite. The food is excellent, the vibes and decor are so fun, and the service is great - Yani took such good care of us as walk ins during a busy Saturday night. And if you come during mango season, the mango sticky rice is a must have!“

“Great dining experience. Superb cuisine!!“

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

“I chose Holic Thai Bistro for a lunch meet up with a friend because of the location. I was delighted that I chose this beautiful restaurant when I walked in! The decor and atmosphere was great. It's a small restaurant but typical for NYC/BK and the layout flowed perfectly! I wanted to try so many things on the menu but decided to get the dumpling soup and a side a fried rice because it was 20 degrees outside! The food was great just the right amount of wontons and bok choy to fill me all the way up! The staff was very attentive gave great feedback and information on menu items. I had a lychee Thai iced tea for the first time which was great and included 2 sweet lychee fruits. My friend has the chive pancakes they were crispy and different from other chive pancakes but the flavor was on point. The green curry was also delicious! Overall I'll definitely go back great staff, very good food and beautiful atmosphere!“

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

“Very good vibes. Love this! 💐🌺🍴🥢“
