50 Best Thai Restaurants near Long Island City

“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.“

“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.“

“Easy to understand menu with lots of typical Thai dishes to choose from. When we were their, there was only one staff taking orders, serving dishes and making drinks, but there was no long wait. Food quality is mixed, some of our dishes were really good but some not spicy tasteful, one fried shrimp even tasted stale. I'd say between 3 and 4 stars.“

“Simply the best!“

“Absolutely delicious food! Fast friendly service. Will be back for more😋😋“

“Ordered this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious. The food was so tasty and fresh, and they’re generous with protein. Can’t wait to order again!

I got: golden shrimp rolls, Thai dumplings and street doodle with duck 10/10!!!!“

“Delicious food and friendly staff“

“This place is definitely more of a humble neighborhood Thai restaurant than a fancy Instagram spot, but that’s part of the charm. The food was comforting, flavorful, and reasonably priced. I honestly think the 1-star reviews are too harsh. It’s a simple local business trying its best, and places like this deserve support too!! We ordered Pad Kra Pow, Thai fried rice, Mango sticky rice and Thai iced coffee. All are so good, will reorder again!! :)“

“Delicious food with great service“

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

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“Stumbled upon this Thai restaurant, and was very pleased with the food and experience. The Khao soi chicken was cooked very tender and fell off the bone. Pad Kra Pow pork dish was also really satisfying. The food was spicy, but the flavour worked well to make you want more. Highly recommended!“

“Great Thai restaurant in downtown Brooklyn fort green park.“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“Good foods n good service 🥰 I love there so much 🇺🇸 ขอบคุณครับ“

“Penang curry with chicken was awesome!“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“Excellent food and service“

“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.“

“Mind blowing experience from beginning to end. From the chicken wings to the sliced steak, to the prawn padthai and crab fried rice. This place does not miss with their food and service. BRAVO!

MY kids also loved it. Staff was very friendly.“

“Authentic Thai cuisine, fun atmosphere. and wonderful owners and staff - well worth the trip to Carroll Gardens!“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Always have to stop here when visiting family in Brooklyn. This place has some of the best Thai food & all of the staff members are so kind and attentive.“

“Really great food and such nice staff. They’re always super accommodating and helpful. Planned to do a private party with them and they were so so nice and helpful. We go here at least once a month maybe more. They also have a great lunch special. You can order takeout and they package everything really well also. Always arrives piping hot.

I will say they are pricey though but I feel like the quality is there. Some things are a little overpriced IMO but I’m okay with paying it because they’re so nice.“

“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!“

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

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

“Absolutely delicious food and drinks! I highly recommend the volcano wings for appetizer and colossal crab meat fried rice and the giant river prawn curry for entrees. Portions are great for sharing too!“

“Great food also great music!“

“We sat on the terrace, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the visit. The food was good and nicely prepared, although we missed some of the heat and bold spice levels we usually associate with Thai cuisine. Even so, it was an enjoyable meal in a great outdoor setting.“

“Wow !! I can say that is a real authentic Thai food in New York, Very yummy. We order calamari, Papaya salad Pu plara , Grill chicken, Drunken noodles with beef , beef salad Thai style, all very delicious.
This restaurant was good vibes, a bit busy need to be make reservations before. And nice atmosphere. Staffs were friendly and helpful. Recommend!! And would come back for sure. Love ❤.“

“$15 lunch special EVERYDAY 1130-330

Ive only ordered delivery.

Ive had the pad thai, basil fried rice, pad se ew, and thai fried rice. All are great for Manhattan. Pad thai isn't the best ive had BUT Chomp Chomp makes up for it with the portion size. I do really enjoy their fried rice. Their choice of appetizers (2 veg/noodle spring rolls or chicken tom yum) are great additions to the lunch special.

Another BIG PLUS is that they dont skimp on the protein even on the lunch portion!!! And the protein prices are the same for the offerings (veggie, tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, pork & mock duck). That is a game changer in 2026!! Other thai places charge up to $7 for a different protein on top of the price going up to $25+ for a lunch special so $15 is an AMAZING DEAL for this neighborhood and in 2026.

Please dont change Chomp Chomp!!

Will come back again!“

“One of my favorite Thai places now in Brooklyn. Their dishes and drinks are so incredible and flavorful. Love their pad Thai! I feel like a lot of pad thais in the city can be a bit bland but theirs is super flavorful and delicious. Also amazing Khao Soi!“

“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 menu. Cocktails are delicious 😋. Friendly staff. I love this place“

“Amazing staff. Amazing Thai Food.“

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

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“The street adjacent to this restaurant is a literal Fortnite lobby. I swear I passed Tung Tung Tung Sahur crossing the street. The thing about this restaurant is that it is inspired by Thai street food and you can tell they did the distressed tiles to make it seem lived in. But that vibe is offset by a super Brooklyn-y merch section and pricing. Not that i’m complaining. The smash burger and crab fried rice (wym a crab fried this rice??) were delicious! The fried rice particularly spiked my LDL levels that’s why it tasted so good but if your cholesterol is high then have 911 on speed dial. It comes with a spoon of palpitations (yuzu miso butter) on the side. My mouth is watering

“had the best dinner ever, so I will recommend that“
