Talay is a hidden gem that serves exceptional Thai food. Despite its unassuming appearance, the restaurant offers a pleasant and kind welcome, with the possibility to eat in a comfortable setting. It is a small, no-frill, seated fast food spot run by a family, located near the Staten Island ferry station. The menu boasts a range of delicious dishes, including gluten-free options, all cooked to order. Popular choices include Green Curry with shrimp, Eggplant with Basil Sauce with chicken sautéed, Mama's Fried Chicken with French fries, and Kao Pad, which many find to be the best they've ever tried. The food feels authentic and homemade, offering a comforting mix of flavors and perfect textures. Customers can substitute white rice with brown rice for an extra $2, and enjoy drinks like taro bubble tea. Service is quick despite the busy environment, with a helpful host guiding customers. Be warned, if you ask for spicy food, be prepared for a culinary challenge! Overall, Talay is a must-visit for those craving authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine, especially for those seeking a cozy, family-run spot away from tourist traps.
