BANGKOK THAI: WHAT YOU CRAVE

SPONSOR'S LINK: BANGKOK THAI

Craving Thai? Stay right in Flushing and order from or visit Bangkok Thai*, conveniently at 38-04 Prince Street.


Main offerings here ensure a loyal following of Thai food lovers.** Locals adore the $8.00 pad Thai (phat Thai, or ผัดไทย), $14.50 tom yum soup (ต้มยำ), $2.75 Thai iced tea (cha-yen, or ชาเย็น), and—pictured below—a $9.50 Thai fried rice with shrimp (khao pad goong, or ข้าวผัดกุ้ง, using a pineapple for the platter:



One personal favorite? The savory, creamy, ever-so-spicy Thai green curry (gaeng kiew waan, or แกงเขียวหวาน), which you can enjoy for $6.50. It’s the perfect medley of coconut milk, green chili pepper paste (yup, taste slightly differs from red curry), palm sugar, fish sauce, bamboo shoots, and refreshing basil and cilantro…

—Aside from the food, you can expect a most pleasant dining experience at Bangkok Thai. The staff offers you prompt service that still encourages you to pace yourself.*** Not bad for a place with tight seating and happy repeat customers!****

May Flushing Food suggest: asking for chicken as your Thai green curry meat selection. Also, consider rounding out the meal with roti canai, a Indian/Malaysian favorite that is still a bit hard to find in this neck of Queens!
