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😋😋“

“Really delicious Thai. This is real Thai food in the neighborhood. The quality is comparable to many Thai restaurants in Elmhurst that I would go out of my way to order to go. But I guess I can just get it from Ros Niyom now. I love the woonsen so much.
The tom yum is a bit on the salty side but very flavorful.“

“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!! :)“

“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“

“Dining at Tha Phraya was a pleasant experience. The ambience of the restaurant and the service was great. The food was delicious with the right amount of spice levels for someone who liked spicy food. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly on a Saturday evening, so reservations are always a good idea. I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal.“

“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.“

“Came to Sappeisan for my brother’s birthday and really enjoyed our experience! Our favorites at the table include the Yum Pu Dong, Pla Rim Khong, and Mama E-la, and the skewers. Service was a 10/10, and Gam really made my brother’s birthday celebration with family feel so special. ☺“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“I came around 5 PM today and initially was offered a seat at the bar, but I let the host know I preferred a table. She was able to seat me at a table, but told me I would need to give the table back by 6 PM. Which was crazy!!!! I understood that the restaurant may get busy, but I felt rushed knowing I only had about an hour. When I was leaving around 6 PM, there were still several tables available, so I was a little confused about why I was given such a short time at the table. The food was decent, didn't really like the grilled chicken, pad Thai was good thou but the seating experience could have been communicated better.“

“I absolutely loved this place The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish tasted amazing, and I can’t wait to come back and try more.

The staff were so kind, welcoming, and attentive. They made the whole experience even better with their warm hospitality.

One of my favorite parts was getting to practice a little Thai that I’ve picked up from watching Thai series. It was such a fun moment, and the staff were so sweet and encouraging. It made the visit feel even more special.

If you are looking for authentic, delicious food and wonderful service, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“I've been going to thai restaurants in my 14 yrs of NYC and coming to this place was probably more worth it than all of them. My usual which is Pad See Ew was actually more flavorful than usual and definitely recommended for people new to the cuisine. If I could, would give it a 10/5 stars for how delicious it was and would be willing to try more of the menu items.“

“Amazing staff. Amazing Thai Food.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

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

“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….“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“Food was phenomenal, service was great! I will return!“
