Right in the heart of Little Thailand, this place is super handy for grabbing ingredients to cook up a Thai feast after dining at my favorite Thai joint. It might be small, but it's got a great selection. Plus, the owner is as friendly and helpful as they come!

This place is great & owner is a gem of a lady. Make sure to ask about specialty or locally made items they have.

Some hard to find thai utensils here that used to be sold in the stores in the surrounding areas. Alot of her basic thai ingredients are overpriced. I'm only leaving 2 stars because the very first time me and my friend came in here she wanted to act like she was very friendly and welcoming at first and then do a 360 when my friend had asked to use the bathroom because of digestion problem. The owner had said yes but then kept bothering my friend and knocking on the door like every 2 minutes thinking we were gonna steal, and mind you my friend is from thailand just like her. Guess in her mind you can't even trust your own people when it comes to using the bathroom. Anyways our conclusive interaction didn't end well with the owner having an attitude and me being extremely annoyed that someone would continously bother someone while they were in the bathroom( it's extremely rude). We paid for our stuff and having an attitude myself gave her the money and walked out and promised to never return here again.

The owner is super friendly and tells you about the various products and how they do it in Thailand. We've been here many times. They've got hard to find Thai products and several fresh, locally made food like fried banana or banana wrapped in a banana leaf with rice. I come here to find concentrated liquid coffee with sugar that looks like a tall glass bottle. You can make your own Thai iced coffee with it at home with condensed milk or plant based milk.Support your local Thai community. It's fun to shop here, and she's got a cute kitten, too.

If you think about Thai food, you can come to buy ready-made food, dry food, vegetables or ingredients for chili paste and various curry pastes at the shop.

Lovely local Thai grocery with some pre-boxed prepared meals to go. Even lovelier is the sweet owner and her cats. Honest, friendly, and gives great advice on Thai items. Support local here and you won’t be disappointed!

We came here on a southeast Asian food tour with Joe DiStefano. They have AMAZING fried bananas. I took a photo of the stick my Thai rice that is served in restaurants (soak over night I was told...). They have tiny little bottles which are energy drinks. Very clean. I also head she sells authentic Thai food cooked by Thai home cooks!!!!
The owner is super sweet and if she recommends something, go for it because it will probably be delicious.

I should be clear that I am not reviewing the products or quality of food that you can purchase here - this store clearly stocks authentic Thai products and is valuable for cooking.Unfortunately, my experiences here have been extremely poor due to the owner. After my third visit, I decided that I feel personally unwelcome at this grocery store due to the owner's attitude (and in my case, her berating comments). This was further worsened by her clearly preferential conduct towards other customers that she took a liking to, for whatever reason. This includes my husband, and others who just walked into the store (not acquaintances). I do not feel comfortable ever going back to this grocery store; instead I will take my business to Three Aunties - which though further away, has always been extremely kind and welcoming to me. They also carry great, authentic Thai products.** Finally - I should note that she has questionably covid policies. While there is a sign that says "only calls for pick up", she had three additional *unmasked* customers in her tiny store at the same time as my husband and I. There could not have been more than 1-2 ft distance between each of us.

I love this store! I was in search for Holy Basil or Thai basil because I wanted to make Pad Ka Prow at home. I went to other Thai stores in Woodside and Elmhurst initially and none of them had fresh herbs so I decided give this shop a try. The place didn't look like much, but the owner is very sweet and provided me with a big bunch of fresh Thai basil from behind the counter. Although Holy basil was my first preference, she was out of it and told me to call her next time I need it and she will try to save some for me. She also gave me advice on how to make Thai food. I will definitely be going back to get some more items so I can cook more Thai food at home.
