Some of the best (if not THE best) Thai food I've ever had. I ordered the salmon curry dish since I'd never tried it and knew the salmon would be fresh. The flavors were delicious! My boyfriend had the Basil Fried Rice and his was perfect too. We went on a nice quiet night and enjoyed the whole experience. I would give it 10 stars!

Curry and Cocoa Thai Eatery is one of those rare places that feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into someone’s story. The name itself hints at the personality of its owner, Nalinrat “Lily” Sahunalu, creative, bold, and full of heart.
The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by vibrant Cuban paintings and photographs, a nod to her partner’s heritage and a big part of what makes the space feel so alive and unique.
The food is absolutely outstanding. Lily’s Pad Thai is packed with bold, confident flavors, the kind that stay with you long after the meal. The fresh spring rolls are crisp and refreshing, and they become unforgettable when dipped into her house‑made peanut sauce. It’s the kind of sauce you’d happily eat by the spoonful.
What truly elevates this place, though, is Lily herself. She’s a fascinating, warm, and incredibly talented chef who built this tiny restaurant, physically and creatively, entirely on her own. Her dedication shows in every detail.
On one visit, I arrived about 30 minutes after closing, and she still welcomed me in and made a stir‑fry from the vegetables and chicken she had left, finishing it with a homemade sauce that tasted like pure generosity.
Curry and Cocoa isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an experience shaped by a remarkable woman with an inspiring story. If you ever find yourself in Astoria, Oregon, you owe it to yourself to stop in, say hello to Lily, admire the Cuban‑inspired space she created, and enjoy some truly amazing food.

Delicious authentic Thai food restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner and time spent here. The woman who helped us was lovely. After talking with her we concluded that it was her recipie and she created the special that night that was incredible. Really small dining area so if you want to dine in go at an office time.

Really awesome flavors. Definitely an underrated spot here in Astoria.
-1 star just because I think the food is slightly too expensive for what you get

Stopped for dinner here. Beautiful atmosphere with authentic Cuban artwork on the walls and classic blue note jazz in the background. Lily was so nice, i found out we both used to work on cruise ships, and she made an amazing potato curry. Highly recommended if you want some real Thai cuisine!

Delicious food. I had the pumpkin curry. Was a little too sweet for me but extremely good and flavorful. Tried other dishes which were also super flavorful and delicious. The sticky mango rice is a also a must to finish the meal, extremely fresh and very sweet

Delicious food! My partner and I got the yellow curry and summer rolls. Both great. If anything, we wish the portion size was a bit larger.

Small restaurant, with kitschy décor, the food was cooked by someone's grandmother and it was delicious. I had the Pad Thai Country which was a nice twist on the normal dish. Everyone at the table loved their meals, and I'm looking forward to coming back.
