Best Thai tea

Diner Review №2

Diner Review №3

This is the best Thai food in the area. The rice, whether fried, jasmine, or white, is consistently excellent. The yellow curry with potatoes and beef is phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It's a fantastic spot for both dinner and lunch, and I’ve never been disappointed by any dish I’ve tried. Additionally, their crab Rangoon is the best I’ve had on Long Island—crispy, savory, and always fresh. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors!

Friendly and good food.

Diner Review №6

my partner likes it I don't. It's expensive but they give you a lot food

Diner Review №7

Warm atmosphere and consistent. It’s a staple of this neighborhood and serves meals quickly and deliciously. Try the Thai iced tea. Chicken satay and spring rolls. Can’t go wrong with the pad Thai or pad see ew but their entrees like pad Prik king (protein with string beans and lime leaf) and the “crying tiger” steak or pineapple duck specials can’t be missed. They go as spicy as you would like.

Is it the best Thai in the world… NO. It is an amazing choice for our area and for folks who want a quick and satisfying meal.

Diner Review №8

Ordered today, for a first time after many years.
The food was exceptionally good

Had the red curry, which is my favorite Thai and usually I am very picky about it. For what ever reason is was so good that I was actually surprised

I will now try them again in the near future, they must have changed somthing.

Good job.

Update, after last time success, I ordered again today. It was as horrible as I remember it

Sum tum - the worst it can get
Red curry- very cheaply done
Sticky rice - not fresh.
Over all- this is what this place is- last time was probably a one time luck .

I cannot take by review back as it was really good last time. But I had a feeling this was too good to be true

Over all- very cheapy and not recommended

Diner Review №10

First time ordering from here and it definitely won’t be the last. The food was incredible, absolutely delicious!!! I had Panag Curry with Chicken, Curry Puffs & Mango Sticky Rice.
I knew from the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea, I’d be coming back weekly for it. SOO GOOD! This will be my new spot for Thai. Don’t sleep on this place !! YUM!!!

Diner Review №11

Lunch specials served every day from 11AM to 3PM. Lunch specials come with choice of soup or salad. Most lunch specials are under $10! Food is good. Great value. Usually not crowded even on the weekend. Staff is very friendly and professional.

Diner Review №24

The waitress who did not help us came up to us to ask why did we tip the amount we did after the terrible service. The food wasn’t that great eitheemr. Never going here again.

Diner Review №25

Food is good. Atmosphere can be cleaned up. Probably better taking out.

Diner Review №26

Consistently solid over the years. It goes unchanged which to me, is the best type of place. My favorites are the curry puff appetizer, chicken satay skewers, the tamarind fried flounder and the drunken noodles. I've had other things from the menu and I am never disappointed. Anyone I bring here as a guest enjoys it as well. Great prices, too.

Excellent Food!!!

Diner Review №32

Best Thai food I've had. When I lived in Lynbrook I was there once a week or more. Food is good, service is good and the price is right.

Diner Review №33

The OG spot. Tried Thai elsewhere in the area and always wind up coming back here. Great prices and quick and pleasant service, what more can you ask for?

Diner Review №34

Quick delivery but the pad Thai I ordered was very very bland. Noodles undercooked as well.

Diner Review №35

I always enjoy coming here. The workers are very nice and the food is always delicious! I also have been known to stop just to grab the Thai Iced Tea to go !!! They have happy hour specials with wine or beer and an app !!

Diner Review №36

We Love this place a favorite. Their food is always so delicious. It's a small Gem in East Rockaway . They r very kind and friendly here too🤗💕

Diner Review №37

Good food fare prices. Clean

Diner Review №38

This is the worst place to eat! The waitress with the pink hair is so out of line! My spring rolls were frozen and the drunken noodles tasted off.

Backstory: I was here two weeks ago, the waitress demanded a tip before I even got up from the table. Ended up leaving tip in cash on the table. Then today, the waitress served me frozen spring rolls and who knows what she did to my drunken noodles. She held a grudge from 2 weeks ago, telling my coworker that I never tipped her when I did. I wouldn't trust this place. Many of my coworkers have gotten sick from this place.

Terrible.

Diner Review №45

Best Thai food on Long Island PERIOD!!!!!!

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

YUMMY, service was very nice and the food SLAPPED

Diner Review №48

Been ordering for number of years. The last two times we ordered portions are half what they use to be. Food is always cold. I guess time to move on to the next place. Sad day.

Diner Review №49

Had amazing dishes here and I haven't had a complaint ever. The sauce's they make with their dishes are really really good, and the staff are really nice. The environment and lighting gives a really nice ambiance to the place. One of the best Thai places I ever ate at. I had the Fried Ice Cream and it was delicious!

Diner Review №50

The restaurant is beautiful and quaint. Service has always been phenomenal every time I visited. Portions are decent especially for the price. The food is absolutely delicious. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every dish, analyze the taste after a bite you'll realize what I'm talking about.
They serve beer, wine, sake, and some frozen drinks. My only issue is that they don't serve any liquor.

Diner Review №51

Authentic Thai foodm

Diner Review №52

Dope spot, their shrimp fried rice and pineapple fried rice is the best. I am a regular. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Pink hair ladies are the best FYI.

Diner Review №57

The food here is not good, the crab Rangoon had no crab in it and was loaded with cream cheese!
The pad Thai smelled disgusting and the service was terrible ! I will not be returning here ever again!

Diner Review №58

Excellent food and superior service!

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Authentic Thai food served fresh and fast. Let's face it, the area isn't exactly the center of diversity when it comes to food, so having a shot at eating something different is a much needed plus for the town. Curry in a hurry!

Diner Review №62

If you love Thai food, you are in the right spot. One of the best Thai spots in the area.

Diner Review №63

Good food. Intimate dining. Fast service from friendly staff.

Diner Review №64

Food is always good, from the curry to the noodles! The Thai ice tea is amazing. Very sweet so be careful if you can't have that much sugar.

Diner Review №65

Absolutely disgusting. I was eating my food and found a baby roach in my rice. I will never eat here ever again. I don’t recommend anyone eating here.

Diner Review №66

Used to order from here all the time, really liked their pineapple shrimp fried rice it was really good. I took my kids to eat there and the customer service was not good. We were the only ones in there and the sever had an attitude. Was not welcoming at all. When we were finished eating she insisted I give her a tip. Will not spend another penny here. Good food terrible service.

Diner Review №67

Honestly I gave this place a chance because many people said it was good. However the food was terrible. The dumplings were cold, the food was bland. The papaya salad tasted legit old. Like several days old. No flavor. The rice was undercooked. The noodles were just distasteful. I’m sorry but never going back again 👎

Diner Review №68

Great

Diner Review №69

Called in for a order of Pad Basil, drove 15 minutes to pick it up and the order wasn’t in. Poor customer service, won’t be back

Food tastes simply fantastic!! Portions have decreased and prices went up but it is soooo good!!

Diner Review №73

Great Thai food, have been coming here for years and the service is excellent. Great atmosphere.

Diner Review №74

Fish entree was much to be desired.

Diner Review №75

朋友去过! 小店平时中午没有很多客户, 昨天只有6个人连我们两个。都是食物还不错, 口味喜欢, 咖喱饭和炒面真好吃

Diner Review №76

The roti curry from my experience typically come in a thin rice pancake sort of like a crepe. Very crispy. And as dipped into the curry, the bread would shatter into a lot of small pieces. Perhaps that's an american version but these rice pancakes were soaked in oil. The quantity hardly enough for 2.

The calamari was mediocre. Lacked seasoning. I can't remember the taste now. Had to dip into roti curry sauce to add taste.

Pad thai noodles were cut up into 4" strands. Couldn't grab a mouthful when I used the fork or chopsticks. Best to keep them long and let customers decide to cut it smaller. How come no abundance of crushed peanuts? I think a little was put on it but please leave portions on the table along with spices.

Dumplings were so so. The taste is forgotten after a day.

I hope the owner takes these things into consideration.

Diner Review №77

If i could give 0 stars i would. Ordered red curry "shrimp" @9pm on march 24,2021. By the time i got home(laurelton queens) all i saw was alot of sauce and vegetables but no shrimp! I am so angry right now. I tried calling but no answer. My friend told me not to order take out from them because they've been messing up big time. Now i see why she goes to other thai restaurants in RVC and hewlett. A simple order they can't get right. Want a refund for the red curry shrimp that i ordered that had no shrimp in it. Will be calling 1st thing on march 25,2021 in the morning. SMDH

Diner Review №78

Love it!

Diner Review №79

The food is amazing! I feel great after eating because the veggies are green and crisp, they are definitely using fresh ingredients. It’s a real gem in our little community. Support local businesses!

Diner Review №80

I would've given them 3 stars but their chicken is hard/dry and fake/rat meat or something. It taste bad and odd, and across the board in their soup noodles and rice - it's the same bad tasting chicken- we threw out the chicken. I'm surprised they have good reviews, most ppl don't realize the taste with the sauce or the other choice of veg or meat. The flavors were good but they know the quality of chicken they are serving and they do it - it's disappointing bc some cheap Chinese take outs have the same tasting chicken but Thai places usually don't. Exhibit Thai in East Rockville has very yummy and very good quality-real chicken in their dishes and their shrimp is also very good - juicy and thick (they are closed on mondays, that's why we ordered here).

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №83

The food constantly great and not expensive. Try the fried flounder in garlic sauce, it's wonderful.

Diner Review №84

Good food, service, and atmosphere.

Diner Review №85

The food here is generally pretty good! Though today I got the same order I've gotten the past few times, chicken pad see-ew, and it was aboslutely drenched in garlic. It did not taste good. Normally theres maybe a slight hint of garlic in it, but today it was all I could taste and you could see chunks of it everywhere in the dish. Hopefully they didn't change the recipe and today was just a hiccup, the food here is normally very good.

Diner Review №86

Good people nice service

Most ppl carry out but the overall atmoyof the restaurant is very romantic, chill music, real candle lights and flowers, the staff is extremely nice. The food is fresh so expect to wait . The food is fresh, homemade deliciousness, if u want make anything more mild or spicy they will accommodate you , no questions asked. I adore this place🙌

Diner Review №91

Let me begin by saying the prices are average, the portions are small, the taste is ok. Service is quick but could be better I guess. Few times had to repeat to the waitress and or remind her bring me stuff.

Diner Review №106

Food is amazing!! Chef TI is a NYC Chef, who came to a local small town and happy to build relationships with his customers. Centre Thai is the only restuarant I know that will make authentic Thai food per request. Anne (the owner) is truly a doll. She loves her customers and loves to provide quality food and customer service.

Ariel and Ying are awesome as well! They both provide exceptional service and are extremely attentive. This is a five star restaurant with a small town feel.

Diner Review №107

Delicious and not expensive. Great lunch specials.

Diner Review №108

Family owned and amazing authentic Thai food.

Diner Review №109

I wish I could give them zero stars. I ordered lunch and it took over an hour to arrive. We live 5 minutes away. When I called to find out where the food was she said it left a while ago. I called a 2nd time 10 minutes later and she said she would call the driver and call me right back. She never called back. My husband then called after yet another 10 minutes and her response to him was "it's not my fault, I just pack up the food". She was beyond rude and unapologetic. We will never order from them again. worst customer service ever.....

Diner Review №167

The food was great

Diner Review №168

I absolutely used to love this place. The food and atmosphere is great. Also, great service. The issue that I have is that the last two times that I went to this location I found a piece of plastic in our food. I thought to myself “it happens”. My fiancé and I brought to the staffs attention and they were very apologetic. We went back a second time and as my fiancé was chewing the food he found a piece of glass in the food. This makes me wonder: how clean are they? And how could a piece of glass fall in the food? As much as we love the food here that is unacceptable and dangerous.

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

Used to be my go to spot until they started serving raw uncooked chicken. Seems kind of crazy to serve half raw stir fried chicken.

Diner Review №171

Great little Thai place with very reasonable prices.

best lunch special in the area - even available on the weekend! large portions, helpful staff and cozy atmosphere inside! the steam shumai dumplings are so delicious

Diner Review №173

Diner Review №174

Great place, Quick service, clean, good food, fairly priced. We've been going there for years and with friends for lunch, in a group up to 8 and we are always graciously welcomed. There's parking in the back so it's easy and safe access. There's a bar & tv is on but usually muted since there's music in the background.Nice decor.

Diner Review №175

Underwhelming

Diner Review №176

Inexpensive but delicious

Diner Review №177

Diner Review №178

The flavors were great. The place is nice and the service was excellent. I'm holding out on the 5th star because the chicen was a little dry and tough if I'm honest. Will update with my next visit and perhaps it was just a fluke

Diner Review №179

I had the calamari and shrimp rolls and with the sauce they came with soooooo good! I ordered online so it was quick and easy! My order was ready and I was in and out! Loved it!

Drunken noodle dish is very good but the chicken and curry... no matter how many times we tell them make sure the potatoes are cooked the potatoes are always almost raw ...how can you serve almost raw potatoes?!?! Tried rice with pork and the pork was chewy. Wouldn't ever get again.
