If they want to, they can be the best Thai restaurant in the city hands down. However often you will be getting a subpar dining experience. It’s quite sad to see how different the experiences can be. I must emphasize though that if you come in when they’re on their A game that you will have the best Thai food experience NYC hands down, and on par with the best in Thailand.
The chicken pad see ew I ordered was a little underwhelming. The flat noodle itself was a more sticky texture unlike the pad see ew I’ve had at other Thai restaurants. I didn’t really enjoy that texture. Also, the chicken pieces inside the dish were harder to chew and didn’t taste tender. The Thai iced tea I got was decent though. The waitress didn’t check in on us after we received our orders so that’s why I gave 3/5 stars. I did get a spring roll...read full review

Chao Thai in Queens offers delicious and authentic Thai food with a reasonable price range. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, especially known for their spicy options such as som tum and Tom yum. Notable dishes include the Tom Yum noodle soup with pork, spicy basil duck, tiny crispy prawns, crispy pork with Chinese broccoli, and the tom ka gai. The kitchen staff remains, keeping the flavors consistent, and the service is always great with the nicest people working here. The restaurant is small and better suited for smaller groups. A single staff member handles cash register, ordering, cleaning, and serving, and there is a public bathroom located downstairs. Only cash is accepted, but Zelle payments are also available. The menu is vast, ensuring customers keep coming back for more amazing flavors.
