Absolutely the best place for Thai food in NY. This place has been aneighborhood staple for over 30 years and they keep expanding. They have a nice clean interior dinning room and an outdoor garden dining area too. The food is amazing, always on point, bold, savory, sweet, you get it all. I tend to over order every visit and have a feast because the menu selection is extensive. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Food was good but not extraordinary. Service good. Wide selection of dishes which is cool. I tried the place as I see recommendations for "authentic" Thai indicating this is one of the best. I think people should stop say "authentic", it's a little silly. In Thailand, as in most countries, there are several different regions etc and you will see different variations of the same dish in different parts of the country. This place has been around forever, it looks and feels like it, and the food is solid. Nothing more. Good place to eat Thai food. Parking is difficult but service is good and it's a nice place

Always good. Must get the crispy watercress salad. Everyone who works there is very nice. Always quick service. They close promptly so if you are going near closing time be ready to order asap!
Some of the best authentic Thai food I’ve ever had. Amazing flavors and well balanced ingredients. And love how there’s a separate vegetarian menu. Simply splendid - will be coming back with friends and family
Wow this has to be one of the best traditional Thai food outside Thailand!<br>Went there with two friends, around 3pm, service was good, everyone is kind and attentive.<br>I really enjoyed the fried shell dish, sticky rice, papaya salad, and the sause on the fried pork was to die for!!! The only dish we didn’t enjoy was the trout but the red snapper was delicious. Even the lychee martinis were really tasty!<br>We even order food to go that’s how great the food was! Will def be back!
The appetizers like soft shell crab, shrimp cake and chicken wings are delicious. The coconut chicken soup is creamy and refreshing. The pad thai, pan fried minced meat, fried eggs and the Chinese broccoli are all well cooked. Overall we enjoyed the service and the food here, and we had a great family dinner here!
SriPraPhai truly lives up to its reputation as one of New York City’s most beloved Thai restaurants. As vegan diners, we found the menu very vegan friendly and every dish was incredible and fragrant. Large portions, we shared 4 dishes and had plenty of leftovers.
This is one of my husbands favorite restaurants! I’m so glad he showed me this gem. The food here is so absolutely delicious, every meal is oozing with fresh flavor. I love that there’s a separate vegetarian menu and so many vegan options! This is truly a place me and my non-vegans partner can enjoy and leave satisfied. Customer service is always amazing, food arrives pretty quick too! Very attentive staff. 10/10 place and food.
This is a place where you have to know what to order on the menu to really appreciate it. Get the morning glory, it's delicious and the perfect balance of crispiness and savory. The egg omelette is also an amazing, local favorite that is inexpensive relative to the other Thai places you might find in the city. We came in with a big party, and they were able to accommodate despite being pretty busy already. The waiters are constantly on their feet attending to your needs and questions.
I’ve been going here for years but ironically hadn’t been since I moved close by. This changed yesterday as my brother was visiting and loves this place. We got papaya salad, pork belly, and khao soi (noodle soup with red curry broth and fried noodles on top) Everything was great except the spice level was a bit inconsistent. We asked for the papaya salad extra spicy and it was a perfect heat level. We asked for the soup spicy and it was completely mild. Still, a good meal at a Queens Thai food institution.
A really nice place restaurant. Soothing and relaxing atmosphere. There's a nice shaded patio in the back with a waterfall. Very clean and fresh inside. The food was fabulous. The menu is large. I wish I had gone with someone. Then we could have shared and experienced more item. Worth going back.
Not fancy, this place just serves up classic authentic Thai dishes in a nice no frills spot. The menu is the size of a book so it can be daunting to choose but everything we got was extremely solid, full of flavor and a decent amount of heat (which we requested). Among my favorites was the pork neck, which I absolutely love but can be hard to find, and the papaya salad which was really fresh. Just a note, they close a bit early at 8:30 and they mean it so you don’t want to arrive much past 7:30.
Located in Woodside's Thai Village, this restaurant is among the most popular amid several authentic traditional Thai eateries. Their extensive menu features dishes from various regions of Thailand, with many vegetarian options available. They serve food quickly, and the service is prompt. While the presentation may be unassuming, the flavors are exceptionally comforting. Highly recommended for fans of traditional Thai cuisine. Additionally, they offer homemade snacks and dried meats for takeaway, perfect for a souvenir of your visit.
Big restaurant with a lot of both indoor and outdoor seating space. The outdoor garden is definitely charming and is nice for celebrations. Extensive authentic Thai menu options, we went for the raw shrimp, preserved bean curd noodles soup and fried catfish. They were all good - the raw shrimp had a nice spicy kick to it. The downside for this big nice restaurant is that they are a cash only establishment, certainly not what I would expect upfront.
