Pleasant Thai spot discovery in Jackson Heights/Elmhurst. The surrounding area was pretty quiet, so it was fascinating to see so many people gathered in here. I get it though, the dimly lit interior with lamps is bound to allure crowds. There was an option for Small or Large for drinks. Their large Lychee Thai Iced Tea ($12) was gigantic, which worked out perfectly for us sharing. I ordered the Crispy Catfish Salad ($17), and I wish I didn't choose it as I was catfished into thinking there was fish, but it was mainly crispy skin with bits of meat. The mango base salad though, was worth getting. I've seen mango salad in Thai restaurants before but never ordered, so I'm happy I got to try such a tropical flavorful and savory dish with a slight spicy kick. They allow adjusting of spice level too! Restaurants that allow us to stay long when it's not busy is always respected in my book. Jackson Heights continues to have some of the best food in NYC, and stores like Ayada Thai is the reason why.

Have been in a Thai kick recently and wanted to test my spice tolerance. Was not disappointed by this meal! -frog legs with basil. My first time trying frog legs so I was a bit nervous regarding the texture but was pleasantly surprised. Went with spicy for this and the taste was a good combo of spice and flavor. The frog legs were easy to eat off the bone and perfectly crispy. -"jungle curry". I'm not a huge fan of coconut based dishes so I usually shy away from curry and was happy to see this offered. The flavor was nice and the "spicy" level spice was perfect-just enough to make us sweat. I regret choosing tofu but that's on me as it's just not the right choice for this dish. The only thing I would have wanted to be better was the amount of broth which made it a bit soupy. The ambience itself is super cool and I appreciated the decorations. The staff super friendly and attentive to water refills. If you're looking for spicy, the Thai tea is a must. The large is worth. The prices are a bit high overall but the portions make up for it! Would come back to try other dishes!

Food was good Mango sticky rice, the Ribeye with pineapple rice( Had medium rare for the first time ), my wife had the beef with pineapple rice and even a picky eater like herself enjoyed it so great job. Was a recommendation from my older cousin and he did not disappoint. Service was amazing come close to closing and you couldn't tell by the way we were greeted and shown a good time candle lighting a plus

I love it here so much. It's close by the elmhurst hospital so you can stop by here after you take care of business. I usually always get the calamari because I love that especially with the sauce. I like the cut and CRONCH of the calamari as well, super tasty. I also tried something new, the satay chicken which is good I enjoyed the sauce options and I was full after my meal. The Thai tea is the star of the whole meal and was delicioussssss I recommend everybody get that and maybe a drink as their drinks are great and a good price! The inside was slightly packed as I went solo on Valentine's Day, but usually it is calm, comfortable, and perfect for a solo or couple date. They also do groups! Thank you guys for making my Valentine's Day special!

Amazing good food !! see all photos of dishes ordered below. Tom Yum soup (shrimp and mushrooms) - Very delicious and hearty! Definitely recommend for an appetizer Papaya salad (medium spicy) - it was quite spicy, but refreshing at the same time!! It had shrimp and mussels in it too. Crab Rolls - also good but given some of the other seafood with the appetizers I don't think it was needed BBQ Pork Tender - these were seasoned super well, but were a bit chewy. There's a TON of pork in this serving. Sticky rice is served on the side. Pad See Ew - Very delicious!! I'd say the noodles are thin and so tasted the tiniest bit overcooked but I'd still recommend, because the flavor is amazing. Crispy Duck Panang Curry - This was a MUST TRY. Such a delicious curry, I kept spooning curry on top of rice in my plate!! The duck is also cooked very well. Fried Fish - This is a HUGE fish put on a plate. It's good for sharing, but to be honest it's difficult to pick out the meat, so be warned. Food was all amazing, and the dinner prices are a great value here. It was a small space but felt elevated with the candles and decor, and the service is really great here.

One of my most visited Thai restaurants when I have a Thai food craving. I would recommend getting their chicken satay, nam tok noodles, crab fried rice and drunken noodles with chicken. Their spicy is "Thai spicy" meaning it is pretty spicy and has green chili peppers and Thai chili peppers on it. I also really like their fried red snapper fish with papaya salad with the sweet Thai chili sauce. It is great for sharing and will get you craving for more!
