Chao Thai

If you want Thai food that taste like it came from Thailand, and probably made in the back by some lovely grandmas with their own recipes, this is the place. There’s a lot of great Thai food in the area, and this restaurant stands out for its tasty and complex offerings without being fancy. It’s cash only so hit the ATM before you get here. Sour sausage is one of the unique dishes. I love all the noodles and the curries and if you can be adventurous, get some of the regional ones. My girlfriends really like the duck curry and I am a fan of the pork belly dishes. They’re also not afraid to give you some heat

I have seen this restaurant a lot of times while walking into the train station. So, I decided to give it a shoot and have dinner here with a friend. I share a few appetizers with my friend. Num Tok Beef a salad that has grilled beef with onion, chili, lime juice and roasted rice with a touch of medium spiciest, be careful they don't play around went they talked about spicy food, although my palate could handle the degree of spices, it was spicier than I was expected, the beef was very juicy the lime gives it a great taste I recommend getting this to share because the portion is just perfect to share. Grilled Pork another great appetizer to share with a party which is served with tamarind sauce, pork was cooked perfectly the sauce was a great way to dip the pork to give that extra taste. For my main disk, I had the Drunken Noodles chicken I notice there was not a lot of protein on my plate, but the noddle was not bad but like the salad was spicier than I was expected. But overall was not bad. The place is pretty small so is kind of difficult to get a table. Another bad thing about the restaurant is that is only cash so no debit or credit card accepted.

I don't know why this place doesn't have a 5 star rating yet. This is the best place for Thai food in Queens. I've been coming here for years. Try the Raw Shrimp salad with garlic, cilantro. Holy monkeys, it's so damn good. Your regular dishes Kee Mao, Fried rice, PraKha King, all sauteed meats are always delicious but be adventurous and order other things off the menu, you can't go wrong. Fish cakes, calamari, spring rolls , soft shell crabs, Thai iced tea are also great apps. Enjoy! Also, they're Cash Only!!!
