The green curry was good. Very disappointed by the Pad Se-Ew, it had an odd taste and the beef was tough to chew. I requested utensils with my Uber pickup and utensils were not included and the spring rolls didn’t come with sauce as listed.I thought it would be a small hidden gem for Thai food in Queens, but disappointed by the food and the service.

Went to Pata Cafe for lunch in Elmhurst, Queens, NY. Looking for authentic Thai? You'll find dishes here that are hard to find in the ??. NY Times and Michelin recommended for casual authentic Thai fare.Had Thai Lychee tea and Yum Woon Sen. Sweet and complex flavor for the tea. Spicy, tangy, earthy, and herby flavors for the dish. Too full for dessert! The wife had the beef soup.Only seats 12 people max. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of free street parking on a Saturday. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Most dishes dairy freeParking: Found parking right in front immediately on a Saturday for lunch

This must be an example of reviews generated by AI or paid for by an overseas reviewer. Worst thai food ever. And I have been in Thailand many times. I don”t think they will last long if they charge such high prices for such terrible food. One thing I know for sure is that I will not come back.

Elmhurst is Teeming with Affordable Michelin Spots! Foodie alert - within the neighborhood of Elmhurst is the highest concentration of current and past Michelin Bib and Michelin Star (Zabb Elee, formerly) in NYC. And here's another one, Pata Cafe. Located deep in the residential area in Elmhurst, this eatery is authentic Thai in its food, decor and ambience like I'm back in Chiang Mai once again. It's a mother and daughter duo business, where mom is from the northern Issan region and daughter grew up in Bangkok, resulting in dishes that are middle of the road delicious that's neither cloyingly sweet (typical Bangkok fare) nor overly spicy (typical Issan fare). It's been reviewed by New York Times @ligayamishan and awarded the Michelin Bib. Kop khun ka, Pata Cafe! #curious_eater #michelinbibgourmand #michelinguide #michelinnewyork #newyorktimesfood

This cafe is located at the end of a residential block, and I could never think it's a restaurant there. This place looks like a convenience store with rustic art installation. In fact, they do sell lottery tickets here!!The store has a mosaic wall of scrap wood, an array of objects like you find in a museum that includes buckets, silverware, books, statues of the Buddhas, and some plants.The food doesn't look like it includes a ton of ingredients but is packed with a punch of flavor. We asked for spicy and we didreceived it, one person at the table wasn't able to handle it, and that one person wasn't me.This michelin guide restaurant was run by an older lady by herself. We tried 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, and a cold coffee, all of which were amazing. If you are in Queens and want to get some great Thai food in a NYC residential neighborhood, look no further. It's much easier to find street parking here!

Food is great. Dropping a star until they fix their phone number on Google. I feel bad for the guy that got their old number. Poor dude got my calls. I’ll update the rating once the phone number is correct on their site and google.
