"If you’re looking for the best Thai food in the Woodside and Elmhurst area, you can’t go wrong with Khao Nom – it’s truly top-notch. However, if you venture outside this region, you often end up disappointed and overcharged. That changed when I discovered Bangkok Avenue, which sets the standard for Thai cuisine on this side of Queens. While the prices can be a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it worth every penny. The dishes are absolutely delicious and leave you satisfied without feeling weighed down or greasy.
Finding parking can be challenging since it’s located on a busy section of Northern Boulevard, but it’s definitely worth the hassle. The restaurant clearly takes pride in the quality of their food, and it shows in every dish. After trying a series of disappointing Thai places in Long Island, I was thrilled to find this gem.
I highly recommend visiting during lunch special hours when you can enjoy a meal for just $12. If you’re dining there, the Khao Soi for $16 is an absolute must-try! I’ve been there a few times for takeout, and I was so eager to dig in that I often forgot to take pictures... that’s how good it is! "
