The cuisine can only be described as one of the most beloved in the world, Thai. Do your taste buds tingle at the thought? Spicy, sweet, sour, salty. Soft, chewy, aromatic, fresh. Satisfying and unexpected. BKNY has been indulging Bayside’s Thai craving since 2006.
Our extensive menu gravitates toward traditional and authentic although we will occasionally stray – a few of our daily specials border Thai fusion. If you’ve never tried Thai, there’s no better time than now. If you’re a Thai cuisine veteran, we invite you to join us for the most delicious dishes in Queens. As always, (almost) any dish can be made vegetarian friendly. From som tum to jungle curry, pad thai to tamarind duck . . . you’re sure to find a favorite dish.
I honestly have nothing bad to say about this establishment. We’ve had dinner here several times and we also celebrated my birthday/surprise engagement party in their back patio. One of the happiest moments in our lives that we got to share with all our friends and family. We are so thankful for the wonderful staff that went above and beyond to make our night special. Food was amazing as always, ambiance was perfect and everyone working there was so kind and accommodating. Thank you again! Looking forward to making more memories in this place either it be big or small.
A unique venue offering up Thai cuisine 👍
My buddy chose this shop for its fried fish with spicy sauce. The food is decent & filling.
The venue really stood out with a bar in the middle of the floor surrounded by dining tables. Possibly incorporating Feng Shui aesthetics.
Service was polite & efficient. 🙏🏻
They greet you with a warm smile , and fill your stomach with some good hot food .
We went for the lunch special ,
Dinner time , it's the place to be .
I had Pad Pack ( mixed vegetables ) and I added some Tofu , and they give you tea and an Egg roll ...
Everything was really good
Had lunch here after hearing a few good things about the restaurant. It was a great dining experience. The service reminded me of restaurant I went to with my family when I was younger. The restaurant was clean and everyone was very pleasant. We ordered drinks which were delish. The food was wonderful and there is a lot to choose from. Cannot wait to come here again!
Their soups are really good! Service and ambience is nice, visited on a Sunday late noon wasn’t that full. Calamari and spring rolls were just right. Their pad kee moo was ok felt lack of flavours compared to other places. Dessert selection is small. Worth a visit just for their warm delicious soups!
Excellent food, service, and staff.
Got scammed at this location...
We had a reservation with a large group of people. We were a bit concerned at how pricing would be handled (large group means large bill, of course), and our waitress told us we could split the check 3 ways. Alright, that sounds good.
Had our meals (they were alright) and were ready for our checks. Waitress brought us 3 slips of paper for us to divide what meals went with what card, which we gave to her once sorted. We were brought back our 3 checks.
To our shock, the tip was charged two separate times, rather than on the overall total. It was not a suggested tipping system, it was built into billing (20%) and couldn't be adjusted. We called over the waitress and asked why it was separate, rather than the overall total. She said there was nothing she could do- separate checks come with separate tips and walked away. I did the math and it was a 13 dollar difference vs if the tip was applied on the overall total.
At this point, I was already irritated, but my friends didn't want to make a scene, so I decided to let it go. Terrible mistake. My check did not have the 20% tip applied to the other two checks. Keep in mind that her tip is *already* above the amount that would've been received if it had been taken from the total, rather than individual gratitude charges on two of the checks. She quickly takes and brings back the other two cards like normal, but mine is gone for a strange amount of time. The rest of my table started commenting that it's strange my card hasn't come back, and I'm starting to get worried. Eventually, my card comes back with my new printed receipt..... The waitress decided to help herself and add ANOTHER 20% gratitude charge! I suspect this is why the card took so long to come back. That charge was NOT on my original receipt. It was insulting to see the option to add an additional tip on the receipt when we'd already been swindled out of the original tip pricing. At this point, the tip is around FORTY DOLLARS *on top of* the original tip on the overall price. This is RIDICULOUS. Do NOT bother coming to this establishment....needless to say, we will not be coming back.
Food and drinks are fantastic here. Drinks are a bit pricey for what you get imo.
Amazing food and they are very attentive to your needs.
Try out their Tom Ka Gai soup, Green Curry, Grilled Shrimp, and Panang curry.

My first time therewas Monday the 20th. I went there by myself and I was treated with respect and love ,day after my birthday thank you.
Love love love it! Such an amazing space and the food is amazing too.
분위기랑 음식맛은 좋았으나 직원들이 너무 서둘러서 음식을 치우고 계산서를 달라고 하기전에 가져왔다.너무 급하개 상을 치워서 기분이 좋치 않았다.

This restaurant was simply beautiful, the atmosphere and the food was spectacular. They even accommodated us for our anniversary :)
What a wonderful night! Thanks to BKNY!
We booked a table and reached here for dinner, we started with appetizers like Calamari, Papaya Salad, chicken satay, fish cakes and mocktails!
My fav mocktails were BKNY special ice tea, Mai Tai, Lychee Margaritas and Pina Colada!
I loved the green Thai curry and fried rice. Pad Thai was too sweet for us and khao so mee was very salty. The owner is very kind and offered us free dessert.
The best dessert was fried ice cream.
There are no words to describe how wonderful this place is. Not only is the food FANTASTIC (I am a big foodie), but the owner was an absolute pleasure. He treated our entire party like we were family and was the most welcoming owner/staff I have ever come across at a restaurant. This is a rare sight these days to begin with, no less staff this friendly. We started out with some apps (curry puffs were incredible) and everyone in our party loved their entree. The bartender made wonderful drinks and the ambiance was beautiful, casual, and inviting. I 100% recommend this to anyone that loves a wonderful dining experience.
Great place
Awesome place
Great atmosphere and food!
裝潢很高雅的泰式餐廳,假日非用餐時段客人還是不少。我們兩人用餐點了一個大的湯、兩個主菜和兩杯飲料。
先說調酒,除了經典款外也有店家自己的創意調酒。我第一眼看到Rum+Baileys+Thai tea這個組合就被吸引了,事實證明也真的很好喝,就是大人風味的泰奶。正常的泰式奶茶也不錯,不會太甜。
大份大湯是用一個大湯鍋裝,下面有酒精膏在燒維持熱度,兩個人喝很滿足。我們點的是椰汁香茅雞肉蘑菇湯,口味很溫和,配料給很多。
兩份主菜點了炸魚和炸鴨肉,有點令人失望的表現普通,炸魚炸得很老搭配的醬汁是糖醋醬沒什麼特色,鴨肉雖然覺嫩但以價格來說份量偏小。下次還是乖乖吃炒麵、炒飯或咖喱類的主食,價格實惠耶比較不會踩雷。
First time here. The service was very good . Everyone was friendly. Food was tasty and decently priced. Definitely coming back
Had a drink for best friend birthday..who passed away a couple weeks b4... and owner served us on house in memory of Hardai who he knew very well
Great lunch menu value
Best Thai I've been to in NYC. The servers were uncommonly friendly, the atmosphere is traditional fancy, and the food was perfect.
Love love love BKNY… I go there for their crispy duck in basil sauce. It’s so delicious served with white rice and a nice cold Thai iced tea. Only thing I would say negative is I’ve been getting this for years now and the price has gone up a LOT and the duck portion has significantly decreased which saddens me because it’s one of my fav meals there.
Another notable deal that’s always a hit is their lunch menu, great options and very reasonably priced. Check them out
We had our Mom's 70th Birthday here at the private hall in October 2024. Food was excellent, the owner and stuffs were very comparative. All our guests were happy with the service. We had the best waiter Mr.Wein ,who always had a lovely smile and willing to help us with anything we asked him.
Excellent experience 👏
the food fresh & tasty.
Delicious 😋
The place, the foods and service are amazing, I think BKNY is the best restaurant 👍👍👍
Absolutely no flavor in anything. The pad see ew bland. The green curry, bland. I ordered it spicy and it was but it was really flavorless with just hot pepper.
Went there to celebrate friendship! Appetizers we ordered the curry puffs which were absolutely delicious. The spring rolls and the chicken roti., everything was absolutely divine Main course we ordered red curry with shrimp and shrimp fried rice and the red snapper.
Friendly and welcoming

한인들의 입맛에도 좋아요
My sister and I had lunch at this place, and the food was awesome. We ordered pad Thai, green papaya salad, and tom yum soup. The food was awesome and delicious and the service was quick. The atmosphere was quiet this was because few people ate there.
Consistently well prepared, delicious, fresh food. Excellent, attentive service. Lovely , quiet atmosphere. The perfect place to meet a friend(s) and catch up! They do NOT rush you. This is my "go to" place. Neither I nor my guests have ever been disappointed!
Exactly what I was looking for. Chicken PadSeeEw was excellent.
Had lunch here after hearing a few good things about the restaurant. It was a great dining experience. The service reminded me of restaurant I went to with my family when I was younger. The restaurant was clean and everyone was very pleasant. We ordered drinks which were delish. The food was wonderful and there is a lot to choose from. Cannot wait to come here again!
There was mold in the sauce from our take out order of Thai dumplings.
I usually would have the Pad Ka Prow with chicken and extra vegetables. It is very delicious and the staff are always very friendly.
Highly rated and highly recommended on google, but I didn’t find it was all that good. The food was a little less than average in quality, though the take out was definitely worse than dine in (tried dine in to see if it was better fresh). I wouldn’t recommend it, but I wouldn’t order from here. I ordered drunken noodles with mock duck and crispy calamari both times, and both times were underwhelming, again not bad, just not excellent. Hopefully this is not everyone’s experience and it was just a fluke out of the ordinary experience the times I went. I will try this place again one last time in about a year to see how it is then.
We have been there a few times and keep coming back. It was my daughter's 19th bday dinner. The food was awesome as usual the owner is always friendly so were the staff. A family atmosphere, be back soon.
I've been here five times now and plan to keep going back. You can get it delivered but you'd miss out on the cool restaurant that actually has parking. The food is great, so are the drinks. Possibly the best Thai food spot in the area.
We had dinner their the other day. The food was good. However, the quality was very little. The plates are shaped in a way to hold small portions and still have the appearance of having a lot.
You go in hungry and leave hungry.
It had been a few years since I had been but the last time I went I didn’t find the food as enjoyable. It felt somewhat bland. I still may try another dish another time but I may also just try somewhere else.
Best Thai restaurant in Queens!!! Definitely a must try! I can’t speak of all the delicious food I have had here over the years.
We had a great time last night! Our party of 27 came to celebrate our beloved Director and Michelle and her team gave us a great experience. Food was great, the service was phenomenal, and the ambiance was perfect. Michelle and the wait staff did an amazing job.
It's always my pleasure to visit this restaurant. I've been dining at BKNY from its opening. I brought along my girlfriend and her friend. Food arrived quickly and always fresh and delicious! We three enjoyed exceptional service the staff and owners are exceptional! I have never seen a face disappointed and hope you all give it a try! Look forward to my next dining experience! Please, continue the exceptional service and thanks so much!!
Great food! I ordered the mild version of spicy crispy duck.
Very tasty food and professional service
The waiter was very kind. My first time their. I will go back
I recently tried their pad see ew and calamari, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pad see ew was perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavors, and the calamari was crispy and flavorful. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly. Overall, I highly recommend BKNY Thai for anyone looking for a great Thai dining experience! 🌺
Their soups are really good! Service and ambience is nice, visited on a Sunday late noon wasn’t that full. Calamari and spring rolls were just right. Their pad kee moo was ok felt lack of flavours compared to other places. Dessert selection is small. Worth a visit just for their warm delicious soups!
Food was good - came out quickly and was nice and hot. The fried calamari was exceptional- super crispy and very tasty sauce. Service was attentive. Atmosphere lacked due to how loud it got.

I've been going to BKNY for over 10 years and have never been disappointed ....until now! Service was slow. Drinks were so sour & the food was either dry or tasteless. Spare ribs were dry and tasted OLD
Won't be going back
I have eaten in this restaurant 4 times and I can't wait to go back. I love the food. The service is great and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The lunch menu is Priced, very reasonable and they have a very large selection. And I can honestly say it's not expensive at all. I was surprised it was only $10 for lunch. No matter what you order. The people are fantastic that run the place and I can't get enough of their food. They are, without a doubt, the best Asian food that that I ever had. Of course, I highly recommend you go there for their lunch menu, and their dinner menu isn't expensive either. And they have fantastic selections.
I love this place. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Also great cocktails; they have a large round bar and a very talented bartender that wears a red vest and bow tie like they did in the 1950s. Has the elegant feel of Manhattan with the comfort and space of Queens. Nice semi-private nooks to bring a date.
Finding ourselves nearby, we turned to Google for local dining options and discovered this place. As soon as we entered, we were immediately charmed by the ambiance. The food met our expectations, but it was the outstanding service that truly impressed us. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment without hesitation.
Service sucks
Very intimate restaurant. Excellent for group gatherings and dates. Staff is always welcoming and drinks are excellent. Been there multiple times and love going there for Pad Thai.
Thai food done oh so right. There’s *nothing* on the menu that I’ve tried that wasn’t excellent. Great service as well. My favorite starters are the duck rolls and papaya salad. And definitely save room for the mango rice for dessert!
One of the better thai restaurants in Queens!
Not the same as years ago. We had 4 ppl but they led us to the smallest table even though the restaurant was basically empty. Waiter was nice but the dining experience was uncomfortable because the seats were crowded and they had to reposition everything on the table whenever a new plate comes up because the table was way too small. Likely won’t come back anymore even though I loved this restaurant years before.
Horrible service on mother's day, 2 hours to get food and drinks...for mediocre food...the Chinese take out is 100% much more better, and better quality food and service...
Good food and good service.
One of my favorite restaurants. Food is consistently good and the service is great.
Went their for the first time with my family
And was very happy food was delicious mussle was the best I ever had and fish with gi ger sauce fryrice all the food good
Beautiful service and atmosphere.
As always. Awsome food.
Somtum was so delicious. Somtum usually has a strong fish sauce flavor but this one was most lemony and light. The chili powder is a perfect addition to spice it up.
The pad kee mao was amazing. The chicken was soft and flavorful and there was the perfect mix of vegetables.
We also got the ribs and it was pretty decent but it is meat on the bone so a bit more of a hassle to eat.
I stop in once a week for the Curries and Fried rices. Have been coming here for 8+ years everything has remained consistent.
Fast service, Beautiful decor, Lunch Specials.
Love this place. I go here all the time
I went here yesterday for my birthday and boy May I tell ya the food was immaculate man. I highly recommend going here if it’s your birthday. My mom and my brother loved the food. We used to go to a place called lemonleaf in mineola and their food used to taste good but I guess after COVID they changed but this spot is fire
I've been to this restaurant quite a few times. Yesterday evening I decided to have an early dinner at this restaurant and what I realized is the quality of the food has clearly changed. I don't think I'll be revisiting.
The staff is very friendly, the food was absolutely delicious I will definitely dine there again
All time favorite and most consistent Thai restaurant! Highly recommend this spot. It’s not very upscale and high end but the food and service is second to none! Overall cost and quality is well worth it. Ambience is nice but don’t expect 5 star restaurant quality!
Great service, waiters were welcoming and helpful, however food was not authentic nor tasty. Calamari was $13 and tasted fake, crispy scallion dish was a little burnt, the eggrolls and pad Thai was bland.
This place was my go-to for Thai when I lived in the area. Recently visited and stopped by BKNY, and nothing has changed. The food and service are still stellar, and everyone who I ordered for enjoyed their meal.
The place is really nice and very clean. The food is amazing! Had their pad see ew which was so good, and the grilled jumbo shrimp??? Was out of this world good!!! Also, please try their lychee Thai ice cream!! Everything was delicious! Will definitely go back! Service was good as well, very polite.
Food is so flavorful!! 😋
Mid food terrible service
根本不值得这么高的分数,千万不要被骗了。地方很大,饭点的时候进去了没什么客人,就两三桌,还全是外国人,点了几样食物,绿咖喱鸡肉一般般, 猪排骨不好吃,沙爹鸡肉串难吃,唯一稍微好吃一点点就是辣牛肉炒河粉 但是也有缺点就是太咸了
Delicious food, friendly staff, and great service.
Love this place
Updated:
We have been coming here for over 15 yrs i would say. And today was a sad day as the serivice here has declined TREMENDOUSLY. You could count on attentive, friendly and fast service. That seems to be a thing of the past.
First it seemed our waiter couldn't fully understand us. Orders had to be repeated to him several times. We had to check on dishes numerous times because we weren't getting them. One of our apps didn't come until we had our main course. They were initially trying to convince us it had already been delivered and this seemed to be the theme for the evening.
I'm not sure if they were short a bartender because drinks were also arriving late and were inconsistent. Mai Tais were weak and watered down but the lychee martinis (which used to be one of the best) were way too strong and not tasty at all. If they were strong but tasty I don't mind. Now if this all happened while they were busy it would make sense but, it wasn't close to that when we arrived. Things didn't pick up until after we were close to leaving. Now they were slow on service ALL night and we spent an obscene amt of money and when it was time to pay, that is when they wanted to rush us out. Comical! It makes me sad because this was one of the few spots we KNEW we could count on for service and food and it just is not worth it anymore. Things were so bad we thought it HAD to be new managemwnt until we saw Mr. Sai was still there. So unfortunately, we definitely will have to look for a new Thai spot and not be coming back.
----‐-----------------------------------------------------------
Our waitress was great and anticipated what we need before we said anything. Food is always good here and the cocktails are tasty but strong. I haven't had a drink or meal off of the menu that i did not like.
One of the best Thai restaurants in Queens. Everything is good and they will ramp up the spice if you want.
Kind service and I love their lunch specials. Super duper affordable with great portion sizes. Also the food tastes great. My to go place for Thai!
Always amazing! I have been here during busy and dead times. The food and service is amazing. A great hidden gem!
The food is authentically spicy! I brought the whole family and everyone loved it.
We went for lunch. Pad Ka Prow and Pad Cashew Nut were delicious. Kee Mao Fried Rice and Pad Pak mixed vegetables were stand outs. Lunch is an amazing deal. Next time dinner with calamari, crispy snapper and Tom Yom Koong soup! Very attractive, comfortable dining room and conscientious, polite staff.
My all time favorite place for Thai food. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is classy and clean, and the food is outstanding. The pad Thai is the most delightful dish. They have the best Thai iced tea I’ve ever had! I come here a little too often
Tried fish cake, tom yum clear soup and vegetable fried rice. Food was good and service was satisfactory.
Food is consistently good & service is always great.
Great all around!!! Love the food here!
Friendly staff.Always find parking
Authentic food and great service
Great food and great atmosphere!
Very fresh, delicious and very organized. Order to go early because they get too busy and will only accept a certain amount of orders.
This place hits the spot of what you need for Thai food! Definitely give this spot a try. You won’t regret it.
Fast and friendly service
I have the Pad Kee Mao - delicious🔥
Fried ice cream - 💯
We were at BKNY for a family event. Food was tasty and wonderful. Good portion size. Excellent service by Rachada and Chin.
I love this place for the food but the damn prices make it impossible to go here anymore. They’ve gotten too expensive.
The food is always very tasty and the prices are fair. The staff are very attentive and the owner is very sweet and accommodating.
The food was good, but I am unsure if it was worth the price. The decor was average, but it was loud, and I did not appreciate the children walking around by their table. The server was friendly but seemed very busy. They may have been understaffed.
