Came here with a few friends on a Monday night for dinner. We ordered a lot of food and everything was awesome. The staff was wonderful and patient with us, as we asked for recommendations. The papaya salad was my absolute favorite, but everything was so delicious.

This place reminded me why Thai food is my favorite food. Oh my, this is probably the best Red Curry I’ve had in New York. So rich and flavorful. Authentic and delicious. Plus I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. It’s cozy and the light is dimmed (which is my fave lighting). I’ll definitely be back!

This is an excellent no frills Thai restaurant in Woodside. The prices were reasonable, the staff was friendly, and all of the food was absolutely delicious. We had the raw shrimp salad, crab fried rice, and the pork leg entree, and washed it all down with a couple ice cold Singha beers. I’ll definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu and would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for great authentic Thai food.

Update: Came back to try new dishes. Had the papaya salad (medium spicy), duck curry, and crispy pork with Chinese broccoli. The salad and curry were good but I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli though - the broccoli was delicious but the crispy pork was really dry and chewy.

Came here for my girlfriends 30th, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and very patient, which was very appreciated because we were a party of 12.

The food was delicious and very flavorful with a good amount of spice. When you order, you are able to choose the spice level from Mild all the way up to Thai Spicy (which I don't even dare to try, haha). Both the Thai Iced Tea and Lychee Thai Iced Tea were very good but a little too overly sweet for us, so we had to dilute it with a little bit of water.

Wonderful little restaurant with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. I'm definitely visiting again to try out the other dishes.

I came in with my son, it was a particularly cold night, the staff was very welcoming, very helpful and gave us some amazing recommendations, we got some drinks, the falling slowly is very nice, we ate the Tom Kha soup I believe, the crispy duck curry was so juicy and flavorful, and the the drunken noodles were a classic great choice. We are very glad we came here instead of other places around it really very cozy.

This restaurant is located in Woodside's Thai Village, which has many Thai restaurants, but this one is among the most traditional.

I placed a pickup order here, and after taking about 30 minutes to bring the food home, the taste and temperature were still great, with the authentic wok hei flavor in the stir-fried dishes.

The takeout containers were well-packaged, with no spills, and the presentation of the dishes remained intact, showing the staff's dedication to preparing and packing the orders carefully.

This restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, covering almost all the main Thai dishes. If you're unsure what to order, you can try their signature dishes featured in newspapers or ask the staff for recommendations.

Note that if you can't handle very spicy food, avoid the Thai spicy level; mild spicy seems to be the best choice for most people.

Overall, this is an excellent traditional Thai restaurant and highly recommended.

I saw a lot of people recommended so my family and I gave it a try.

I would recommend you to come early because it might get packed. We got seated right away as a group of 4 during peaked hours. The service was really welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was alright because my brother and I got some mosquito bites and I also saw a fly bugging around our table.

In terms of food, it was decent. Our favorite was the Pad Thai, the classic: it was so flavorful and balanced. We also loved the Thai Ice Tea. The Drunken Noodles, the Tom Yum Soup, and the Mango Sticky Rice were okay, nothing to complain about. As a group of 4, our dinner wasn’t expensive.

I would recommend this place for Thai food, and I would love to come back to try more dishes.

Party at home isn't bad idea at all after ordering out from Ayada Thai. Everyone is happy with deep fried fish with mango salad on the side. We order 2 kind of sausage and both of them are delicious. Grilled beef we wanted medium rare but we got kind of rare, so we had to cooked more by ourselves. Papaya salad is just ok and a bit salty. I was disappointed on Ka Nom Jeen noodle (side dish) the noodles were too hard and too big, not like Thai style Ka Nom Jeen. My favorite dish was Koong char nam pra (row shrimp with spicy fish sauce) Overall, they did a good job.

So delicious.. recommend 💯 %.

Had gone here for years in the past and I’ve always had their Pad Thai numerous times. It was delicious before. Unfortunately over the years the flavor and quality of their pad Thai have deteriorated. Please Ayada, bring back your once Star Michelin Quality food- the management needs to have some quality control on your food. After this pale experience with their pad Thai (tasted just like a bland wet stir fried noodles, there was no tamarind taste at all or fish sauce- NO UMAMI FLAVOR AT ALL!) I might not come back here again. Ayada please bring back your once Star Michelin Quality Food!

Good food

Food was delish...I'll go again.

This place has good thai food. I travel all over all, trying different thai restaurants. This one changed hands during covid. Since then, they don't have the variety they once had. The place is clean and quick, and the service is good.

Our go-to Thai food in Woodside, Elmhurst.
Every Saturday, they have the Crispy Banana and mix.

So good so good, please come here
I feel the same in Thailand.

I came in with my son, it was a particularly cold night, the staff was very welcoming, very helpful and gave us some amazing recommendations, we got some drinks, the falling slowly is very nice, we ate the Tom Kha soup I believe, the crispy duck curry was so juicy and flavorful, and the the drunken noodles were a classic great choice.

When I tried to bring out the paper bag, it fell through the bottom to the floor. My many chances given not deserved this 👎

Came here with a few friends on a Monday night for dinner. We ordered a lot of food and everything was awesome. The staff was wonderful and patient with us, as we asked for recommendations. The papaya salad was my absolute favorite, but everything was so delicious.

Great foods with great service
Recommend 👍👍👍

Came here for a birthday party of about 9 people. Service was amazing and super accommodating. Food portions are HUGE and great value for the price. I really like how they have different Thai food options that you don't typically see at other places.

Awesome Pad Thai!

Ayada has been my standard for thai food ever since I’ve tried them. Whenever I try thai food at another restaurant, I always compare to the ayada version (which is still on top). My visit won’t be complete without fried watercress salad and pad thai

Excellent thai food, I got the drunken noodles with pork and it was amazing. The pork was super fatty and juicy.

This is literally the best Thai food spot in Queen's. From the service to the food and atmosphere. I love introducing my friends to this place. The Massaman Curry and Tom Kha soup are my go-to's. With a side of Thai iced tea! It's perfect :)

Food was good. Service was good. Indoor dining party of 4 maximum per table. Pad thai was very good. Fried calamari was good. I would recommend this location. Update October 19, 2024 = food is good but portions are very small. The service was ok. Cozy restaurant.

I found it disappointing and a bit rude that the check was brought to our table before we had even finished our meal. It made us feel rushed and took away from the overall dining experience.

Great authentic Thai food

EM is the best bartender in town. Very friendly and accommodating. I’m happy to be here and will definitely come back again

Delicious.

The food here has tasted the same since I first visited in 2019.

Ayada in Elmhurst lived up to all expectations. Nestled in Little Thailand and minutes from the 74th Street and Broadway 7 train stop, this traditional Thai spot was cozy yet elegant. I experienced helpful and fast service and met a very kind owner/manager. The crispy duck panang curry for $28 was one of the best things I’ve tasted in a long time. The curry had a perfect level of spice, richness, and sweetness. The duck was juicy, with a nice crisp, and cooked just right. The Thai iced tea was delicious as well. I can’t wait to return to try their noodles, paneer, or appetizers with friends!

Very VERY yummy Thai food. Even portions were decent for the entree and noodles. Rice quantity could’ve been better. One drawback for me was $9 for a small bowl of Tom yum soup, while it was good, it was overpriced.

One of my favorite Thai food spots locally near my neighborhood of Elmhurst/Woodside. Great food and service overall as one of the servers even asked me if I wanted to wait inside the restaurant as I wait for the other people in my party. Big portions for most orders as well so your meals will definitely end up family style.

“Go and do take out then!” was the answer we got after we gave a genuine feedback about our experience. And after a grand bill, we tipped 5$ only because of the mistreatment by the server, drinks were okayish, also they brought all our MAIN COURSES while we were just about to have our APPETIZER. If you really paying the buck, maybe you should TRY OTHER great thai restaurants nearby, there are plenty.

the water cress salad is to die for

The food was phenomenal! Best Thai in Queens!

I grew up in New York, and I'm used to eating Thai food (I'm in my '60s). I think the problem is that I have the most amazing Southeast Asian restaurant I've ever eaten in like a block from my house ... In Philadelphia of all places!
I got takeout, so maybe the food in the restaurant is better, but there just wasn't any delicacy to any of the flavor and my wife felt the same way. We had some leftovers and she didn't even bother eating those the next day. We always have Thai condiments in our house so I just added to the food that we bought home to give it more flavor.
Major kudos to the staff though. Everyone was really friendly and helpful and the vibe of the place was terrific... That was apparent even waiting for my takeout order. I'm going to hope that we just got a bad night... Maybe the main shift chef was not in that night or something.

customer service is totally baddddddddddd

Ayada has fantastic tasting Thai food and happy hour. The beef Pad See Ew is fantastic and I will definitely be coming back for more!

Good food and very delicious good service i appreciate 😍😍

Came to eat yesterday, I was making a vlog for my youtube channel and the staff was super friendly, and curious. It made my experience that much better and I'm exited to go back and record another one!

This place was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend getting the mango salad with raw salted crab, so much flavor and texture. We also got the fried whole red snapper with chili sauce and sticky rice, again incredible flavor and everything was fresh tasting. Will definitely be back soon! And very friendly staff too.

Great staff and great drinks!

One of the best thai food in the area. Love their drunken noodles and crab meat fried rice!

This place is amazing ❤️

The best of the best.

Food was fantastic, we went in with a large party as our team was in town for Muay Thai fights at the Melrose Ballroom. They were very nice and accommodating, and considering how busy they were the service was good too

This place reminded me why Thai food is my favorite food. Oh my, this is probably the best Red Curry I’ve had in New York. So rich and flavorful. Authentic and delicious. Plus I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. It’s cozy and the light is dimmed (which is my fave lighting). I’ll definitely be back!

Food is a1, authentic. Full of flavor. Pricey but we'll worth it. I recommend their red snapper with papaya salad. Crab meat fried rice and their beef salad. Drunken noodles are always good too.

Hey, I'm a big fan of Thai food! If you're looking for some amazing Thai food, this is the place to go. The food is seriously delicious. I especially love the papaya salad and the barbecue pork. 😋

Had an excellent dinner here, some of the better pad Thai we've ever had.

Found this place based on Conde Nast's article. This Thai place turns out to be a gem. We ordered too many dishes. Crab dumplings, calamari, papaya salad as apps. Then we (3 of us) had fried red snapper with mango salad, crab fried rice, drunken noodles, pad see ew, S'pore noodles look-alike. For desserts, we had mango sticky rice & coconut custard. All are great. We like the S'pore noodles, red snapper, drunken noodles, crab fried rice the best. Siam Thai's crab fried rice may be a tad better. Their rice is whole, whereas this one looks like cracked rice (broken). The presentation for the mango sticky rice is the best looking. The rice is bluish. We wished they've given us more coconut milk. We had a pint for Thai iced tea & 2 other cocktails. The portions are healthy ample. We had to pack everything up except for the apps.

Wildly inconsistent. We have been ordering pick up order practically every week for the past several months. We order almost the same exact order on the same day at the same time every week. I felt compelled to write this review after so many times of an inconsistent order. We have asked for our order to be spicy. Sometimes they add it sometimes they don’t. Sometimes we ask for it and they tell us that they can’t even do it. Sometimes they give us different noodles with our noodle soup and sometimes they give us the right noodles. Mind you they never actually give us a choice. It’s always supposed to be the same kind of noodle but one week they asked exactly what noodle that we wanted and we just said the regular. This last order (we always get the noodle soup) they added nearly double if not more noodles, which essentially made the noodle soup into mud. I just don’t understand what their deal is. Have they gone through that many staff members as to have such an inconsistent product? We are also not a one time patron. This is over months of ordering and supporting this business. We actually do love the food when they get it right but it’s probably at this point of 50-50 shot.

Best Thai Food I had in a very long time. Authentic Thai dishes, portions are satisfying and enough to make a to-go box! 💪🏾👍🏽

Be careful when asking for your spice level, it seems to be extremely hot 🥵 Guy sitting next to our table literally was hurting and couldn’t really talk after… he asked for extra spice! 🤣
Food was tasty with fresh ingredients, dishes came out pretty quick.

Pad Thai - chicken and shrimp, everything you expect a pad Thai would taste aka PERFECT!!!

Sweet sausage fried rice, was delicious, flavorful and filled with sausage, a different and satisfying dish!

Service was average!

Great food

WOW! The cleanest, tastiest and most satisfying restaurant I’ve ever encountered. The pad Thai was absolutely out of this world, we came in an hour to close and the service we received was as if they had just opened! When we are back in New York this will be a go to spot!

Food was great
Service is fast
Employees are courteous
Ambiance is nice

Ordered crispy duck with basil sauce -4/5
Crispy pork with basil sauce - 5/5
Crab fried rice -4/5
Shrimp pad thai -4/5
Snapper with Mango salad -5/5

Is it the best Thai place in NYC? No.
Still giving 5 stars because you can come here, enjoy the food in a nice and clean restaurant where service is nice and fast.

They make me a delicious Low Carb Pad Thai!! I started my low carbs diet and when I ask if they can substitute the noodles with something else, the restaurant use shredded green papaya for me.

Ayada is one of the BEST spots in all of new york. So much flavor, wonderful staff & Wicki is such a wonderful waitress. She was extra attentive, understood exactly how we wanted our food & even the rest of the staff was so nice. Definitely come here!!!

I used to love coming here but the quality has gone down. Also, service is terrible, I waited more than 30 minutes (past the time DoorDash said my order was ready for pick up) & my order still wasn’t ready!

Came here for my girlfriends 30th, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and very patient, which was very appreciated because we were a party of 12.

The food was delicious and very flavorful with a good amount of spice. When you order, you are able to choose the spice level from Mild all the way up to Thai Spicy (which I don't even dare to try, haha). Both the Thai Iced Tea and Lychee Thai Iced Tea were very good but a little too overly sweet for us, so we had to dilute it with a little bit of water.

Wonderful little restaurant with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. I'm definitely visiting again to try out the other dishes.

We enjoyed the 2 dishes we ordered- pad kee mao /drunken noodles (enough wok hey and level of spice) and frog legs basil (fragrant!). Also had the Thai iced tea and it was good. Portions are fine (not American large sized) and prices are a little on the high side. Will come back and try other dishes.

Great Thai spot in queens. Delicious and flavorful food. They know the meaning of spicy!

A group of friends has been going there for years. This is probably the last. The food quality has gone down tremendously. They brought the rice first and then our dishes came one by one. It took them 30 minutes to deliver the 5 main dishes one at the time. The place was at 30% capacity. The food was bland and greasy. A trip to the bathroom that night. (Details omitted) I asked if the mango juice was homemade and I was told yes by one waiter. When I asked for one without added sugar, the other waiter stuttered and confessed it comes from cans, like all their juices. Someone told has that their energy is now on the manhattan’s place. Hence the owners are not be seen around as before. There are new Thai restaurants popping up around do the area still has many options.

I’m going to start saying this restaurant is divided into two in one space, but they are the same “restaurant”. 🤷🏻‍♀️One of the rooms smells like sht 😏I felt it, when I stepped out to put quarters in the meter, in my way back, I got confused and open the wrong side of the rest door🥴I like the Decoration in one side. If you go there you would know what I’m talking about.
With that being said. I have to say that their customer service is horrible, horrendous .
Or maybe it was because the staff were hungry too, they were rushing to take our order. They when to a table and stared eating. Well they’re human too I understand, but if they all gonna eat together . It make more sense closing their doors for staff lunch time.
Our waitress totally forgot my drink, and half of the food we order. She when back to her table to continue her lunch. We were so in shock 😳we couldn’t believe that’s was actually happening to us.
The spring roll taste good. Everything else was way too greasy and tasteless. My first time there and for sure my last.

Excellent authentic food. Amazing selection, accommodating, and friendly staff.

One of the best Thai restaurants in NYC. Food is delicious. Service is great, staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place is spotless and the decor is great. Highly recommend their drunken noodle and pad Thai. Their prices are reasonable. Must try this restaurant if you’re a Thai food fanatic. Make sure to stop by while in Elmhurst.

The food is just okay for me in this restuarant. I was not impressed. What I didn't understand why they gave us an uncomfortable table right next to the bar that they used to prepare things. So, you have staff doing something while you're eating. The place wasnt even full. There were other tables. Yes, I could have asked for another table, But, why does it come to that point? The restaurant should be responsible for making their customers comfortable the moment they enter the place.

Server was super rude and pushy even before sitting down. Wouldn't let us sit down with our group even though we reserved and was cold outside. Gave us the check without even asking whether we were done or wanted desert. She then ordered us to leave because there was other guests waiting after just finishing our dinner.

It's a shame considering the food is great. Spicy shallot just earned a new customer.

Food was solid. Not as glorious as portrayed in some media. The only thing to mention is that my sirloin steak with green beans(prik king) was served warm, not hot. I don’t get it.

Friendly Staff and flavorful Thai dishes 😗
Will go back again soon 😊

Food was delivered hot and properly, but the pad see ew I got was so lacking in taste. They have consistently gone down over the last few years. There is no spiciness in the Thai. The noodles feel like boiled and the tofu/chicken has no taste. Very poor

Y’all should def try fried chicken cus it’s hella good

Fantastic

I had, fried fish with sweet chili sauce. It was outstandingly delicious.

Also in picture, crab meat fried rice and papaya bok bok

It used to be a decent dining establishment, with a friendly atmosphere. However, recently , this restaurant has started to resemble more of a Gay or LGBTQ Club. The staff make inappropriate remarks of a sexual character and laugh at the customers behind their backs.
I would not recommend the families with kids to visit this place.
On the bright spot, the food still tastes good..

my favorite Thai resto in Queens. the duck curry and whole basil fish is where it's at.

Great food. 👍

Party at home isn't bad idea at all after ordering out from Ayada Thai. Everyone is happy with deep fried fish with mango salad on the side. We order 2 kind of sausage and both of them are delicious. Grilled beef we wanted medium rare but we got kind of rare, so we had to cooked more by ourselves. Papaya salad is just ok and a bit salty. I was disappointed on Ka Nom Jeen noodle (side dish) the noodles were too hard and too big, not like Thai style Ka Nom Jeen. My favorite dish was Koong char nam pra (row shrimp with spicy fish sauce) Overall, they did a good job.

저는 눈 오는 날 딜리버리로 주문해서 먹었습니다.
Chive dumpling/ pad thai/ drunken noodle를 런치로 주문했습니다.
생각보다 맛이 너무 좋았습니다.
Pad thai 맛은 짜지도 않고 제 입엔 너무나 맛이 좋았습니다.
drunken noodle 좀 퍼지기는 했지만 그래도 맛있습니다.
Chive dumpling은 크기는 작지만 에피타이저로 훌륭한 메뉴입니다.
다음에는 매장에 가서 다른 메뉴들도 먹어 보고 싶습니다!

Great spicy drunken noodles. Get extra spicy for more flavor.

Simply Amazing

My favorite spot! Papaya Salad w/ Crispy Catfish is Amazing! I also like the Papaya Salad. The service is good. I love everything here!!

Got red curry, the mock duck was delicious.

Pad see ew is awesome, The taste like eat that in Thailand . Must try!!!!

Absolutely delicious and our favorite Thai restaurant in New York. Every dish we’ve tried was an explosion of flavor.

Restaurant has good vibes, service is fast. I didn't taste authenticity in food. I would say food is an average, I will definitely try again.

I got their lunch special of pad thai with pork which also came with a vegetable spring roll and chicken tomyum soup. I'm not sure but the benches felt slightly heated which is a nice touch during winter months. They definitely give you your money's worth of food here!

Service was great too. They were very proactive with clearing my table anytime I was done with a plate. Bathroom was pretty clean and smelled nice.

I’ve gotten takeout here twice. Both times the food was really great! I got the drunken noodles with chicken. They really put a good amount of chicken in there, and what I really enjoy is all the vegetables they have. The taste is amazing. The service was also really quick for getting takeout! Definitely will come back when I’m in the area

Calamari looked like dried socks and tasted like a rubber.

While the food at this restaurant was undeniably delicious, the overall dining experience was tainted by the discourteous service provided by our waiter named Peiu Peiu. Despite the culinary delights, the rude attitude made it challenging to fully enjoy the meal. We reserved a table for 20. Because 4 from our group did not arrive yet because they’re still parking their car, the waiter started talking to us with a loud condescending rude voice saying that everyone should be there at our reserved time and she started scolding our party. We explained that due to plenty of street closures due to a marathon, its really difficult to get to the restaurant. Some of our friends not in our group also arrived and would like to sit close to our table but they were also treated rudely. Ayada was not even busy at that time and there were plenty of open table available. Hopefully, the management addresses this issue for future patrons.

Nice Thai tea, spring rolls and fried rice. Def coming back. The staff is friendly and attentive

$18 for a glass of wine!
Beware
Tourist trap

All the food here tastes amazing. Especially, the catfish salad and crispy duck curry.

I have to say Ayada is 1st or 2nd best in terms of closest to Thailand flavor profile.

Todo muy bien! Buena comida y precios razonables (dentro de lo que es NY)

Espectacular! Comida rica y contundente a un precio adecuado, nos atendieron muy bien y las cervezas estaban bien heladasn

Seafood not fresh.
All food not real original.
Pad Thai is worst.
Very disappointed

One of the best Thai food I’ve ever had in the US. Massive options on the menu is a plus.

Delicious. The menu is extensive so come hungry! Best drunken noodles I’ve ever had

Amazing pad Thai, and great lunch special. This place is worth a visit for sure! Immediately favorite Thai place in NYC

Awesome authentic Thai cuisine with excellent service! One of many visits we'll make here I'm sure. Definitely recommend.

Homemade cooking!
Everything ordered are delicious.
Will be back for sure.

Visiting from California, and kids decided to take us here. Food was great, and so was the service. We ordered the tofu pad thai, spicy catfish and a chicken dish with gravy. It was really good.

Two of us ordered 4 items for lunch. Three out of the four dishes were above average. The fish cakes were were too thin and they became drt after being deep fried. The service was good and I do recommend this place.

Was in area for Burmese food festival. Decided to grab some Thai flavors after passing Ayada. The chicken with broad noodles was good. Enjoyed the chives fried cake. The Penang chicken curry came with a small bowl of rice. Likely need to order another for $2 if you’re hungry. $8 for draft or $7 for bottled beer. We ordered the draft Allagash white, didn’t have it so got the Sapporo bottle instead. Bad news is we got billed for the $8 draft. My experience at other restaurants that bill you incorrectly, they usually comp the item. Also noticed the recommended gratuity on the check was the total meal with the tax. I think restaurants really need to do better on this. Can’t imagine why a customer needs to pay extra gratuity for tax. Seating is a bit tight and the table we were at for 2 was by the entrance. Small table that can barely fit 3 dishes. Overall food was okay but service and environment can be improved upon…

Great authentic Thai food! Lots of options in the menu that are fully gluten-free and clearly marked as GF. The server also made sure all our items were gluten free (everything from noodles to sauces)

Wow, I’m impressed with everything I had here. Specially with Ribeye drunken noodles , this was the best one from what I ordered. Steak that came w drunken noodles was juicy, tender and drunken noodles was spicy and was cooked in a way I like. This dish was phenomenal!
Had a nice experience in this cozy restaurant.
Was my first time here but this will definitely be my go to Thai place in Queens.

Their mango sticky rice is 🩷

I don't recommend this place for bad CUSTOMER SERVIC BY OLDER LADIES. Don’t get me wrong the food’s good here but the lady here’s so rude. This is our second time dining in. First time we feel that the customer service’s great so we do tip them well.And they’re men by the way.

Today we dined in for dinner and the First older Lady who serves us was not patience. And first order which was salad’s not including crab even we order the crab one.

So we decide tipping low this time but the second older lady shout at me and said ‘ really? In New York YOU GOTTA TIP AT LEAST 18%’.

I said I do tip u 10% but she’s not happy and make me tip 18%. I feels like I was robbed by that lady and surely make me uncomfortable
.Really terrible experience we got today and karma’s waiting for u for doing this action, lady.

I do appreciate the chefs for making us amazing food tho.

But surely ,we’re not coming back again.

Execelente atención. Super recomendado
Excellent attention. highly recommended

Always a great dinning experience with Ayada! Food is fresh and being served quickly. Great seasonal cocktails too!

I saw a lot of people recommended so my family and I gave it a try.

I would recommend you to come early because it might get packed. We got seated right away as a group of 4 during peaked hours. The service was really welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was alright because my brother and I got some mosquito bites and I also saw a fly bugging around our table.

In terms of food, it was decent. Our favorite was the Pad Thai, the classic: it was so flavorful and balanced. We also loved the Thai Ice Tea. The Drunken Noodles, the Tom Yum Soup, and the Mango Sticky Rice were okay, nothing to complain about. As a group of 4, our dinner wasn’t expensive.

I would recommend this place for Thai food, and I would love to come back to try more dishes.

Best Thai food I’ve had in a while. Duck with Penang curry at a Thai level spice was nothing short of perfection. Unlike many new Thai places Ayada tastes extremely authentic like when I used to visit my Thai friends home as a kid. Getting the right spice balance with all the aromatic elements especially not ruining the coconut milk lightness and Thai basil is what I am happily pleased about. My wife had drunken noodles with salad and a roll; the drunken noodle were perfect and the peanut sauce on the salad was an exciting twist to a familiar flavor. We started with crab cakes which were a nice sized Ap. Then also got mussels which were delicious with there house made tangy zesty spicy green sauce. Thai iced coffees and lychee drink were huge for large which we also enjoyed. We over stuffed our selves with mango and sticky rice which also did not disappoint. I had forgotten that their mango was tough like papaya with a nuttier deeper sweeter taste than a mango from the americas. Overall the service and atmosphere were accommodating and quaint. My wife and I will be returning.

Cute spot, food, and drinks on point.

One of my favorite Thai spots ever!

Love the pad thai. Need to get something spicy...dishes are spiced to order.

When it comes to authentic Thai cuisine, Ayada is as close as it gets. Even my Thai best friend swears by it. This popular spot operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so be prepared to wait, even on holidays.

The menu at Ayada offers a delightful array of dishes, each packed with flavors that transport you to the streets of Thailand. Their mango salad is a true standout, with its delectable combination of sweetness and refreshing tanginess. For my family, the go-to choice is the flavorful drunken noodle, complemented by the option to have a perfectly cooked ribeye steak, tailored to your preference.

One dish that consistently wows me is their tom yum soup, a fragrant and harmonious blend of spices and ingredients. However, my personal favorite is their green curry, bursting with rich and aromatic flavors. Don't worry about the heat level—they accommodate your spice tolerance, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all.

If you're seeking an authentic taste of Thailand, Ayada is the place to be. Embrace the lively atmosphere, indulge in the vibrant flavors, and let their expertly crafted dishes transport you to the heart of Thai cuisine

We ordered Pad Thai and asked the waiter for his favorite protein choice. He recommended bbq pork (pork was supposed to be an included choice protein) without telling us that, instead of 15$, the final price would be 35$. When we got the check, we told him we felt scammed since he never told us bbq pork was not included. After some back and forth, we ended up paying 29$ for each pad thai. Still, it was a pretty dishonest behavior, so we will never come back.

Always very friendly staff and fresh and delicious food. I make a trip from Manhattan just to go to ayada's original location.

This was a fabulous restaurant with fabulous food. We tried it in a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed.

The medium spice was just enough to be spicy but flavorful. We had the chicken and drunken noodles and mango cashew salad.

Best Thai food I had in NYC! Definitely recommend.

My partner and I love this place. I’ll be honest, all we ever get is Pad Thai because we love it too much to order anything else. But if that’s also your thing, this place will become your favorite. The Pad Thai is perfectly flavorful and they give a big portion. We live by so many Thai restaurants but Ayada is worth the 17 minute drive to another neighborhood.

Amazing! I’ve always came here when i was a kid but it’s glad to say it’s still delicious to this day. The awards in the front are definitely a eye grabber. I ordered a raw shrimp, chicken satay for appetizer. For entree i had the mango salad fish with rice to share with my friend. The raw shrimp was so good it was sour and spicy and kinda like a sashimi texture. The satay was good can never go wrong. The fish was crispy and sweet. Definitely filling with a jasmine rice on the side. The thai iced tea was refreshing to. Would definitely go back to try other things too.

Discriminated. A lady next to my table ordered pork BBQ and then I ordered same. They served me first with cold pork BBQ and with hot BBQ to the lady. Lady was thai and I wasn't. Never go back to this place. Racist

Stay away from ayada restaurants(Thai)
They are 99.99% waitress not happy and ugly face when you are not got tips 18% to 21%, come one be real, bill $100 × 18% =$18 tips ,(2 off us eat 3 dish) TIPS not mandatory, so pathetic & shameful this illegal waitress work without proper paper, how dare you .
This restaurant need inspect too by health department by the way please

Great service and delicious food.
Buen servicio y la vomida deliciosa.

Excellent

I love this Thai restaurant the food is so good, the restaurant is a bit small but they will try to accommodate you, would usually dine in but if they are busy we order to go & food is great.

We’ve been coming here for a long time as we’ve always loved the food, but on our recent visit we were highly disappointed with the lack of quality service. Every time we have friends visit us in NY, we bring them here, but not any more. The old lady, not sure if she was the owner or the waiting staff, was so rude. We felt like we were rushed to order and to finish our meal. She didn’t even look at us when we asked her for some more water or napkins. We could have understood if it was super busy but there were only a few tables. I think it’s a HIGH time they need to train their staff on on quality customer service!
