Great food, amazing service.

Diner Review №2

Great food. Aside from it being extremely crowded, it’s a vibe. This the spot for duck. The curry duck is the best dish there imo. Tender, creamy and crispy. Don’t forget to order a LARGE iced tea; that joint massive and worth it.!

Diner Review №3

Not that authentic Thai but I loved it .

Diner Review №4

Spicy Shallots is one of my preferred dining establishments in Queens. The happy hour menu offers a well-curated selection of beverages and appetizers. The Duck Curry is an exceptional dish, featuring delectable flavors and exceptional quality. The customer service is also commendable. 10 out of 10

Great food, great service, great atmosphere and affordable price

Diner Review №7

Incredible place! I felt a little guilty ordering Sake Don at a Thai place, until my order arrived. Absolutely delicious and so, so fresh!

The service was also top notch. Friendly servers and lightning fast service.

Oh! And don't sleep on the drinks! One of the most delicious cocktails I've had in Jackson Heights.

Diner Review №8

too salty, small portion and pricey

Diner Review №9

I was treated well! I ate good 😊 all the dishes and drinks I indulged in were delicious and looked well and tasted great ! I was not disappointed slightly impressed with what was offered and how it was presented especially compared to other spots! Good eats if you’re in the area or looking for a spot try it! I won’t steer you or your palate in the wrong direction!

Diner Review №10

I ordered a pad see ew with fried tofu and it was too salty and oily. besides the fried tofu, there were some greens but that was it :( I've had better pad see ew elsewhere for the price point.

Diner Review №11

I used to visit to this place with my friends a lot.
Great food, but the customer service is terrible. Really disappointing.

Food amount went down to half the food! Behavior of the manager was terrible when asked he said pay more. San the manager said he doesn’t care whether what we say! Overall the behavior of the staff was bad!

Diner Review №26

I can’t wait to come back here. The food was so good!! The service was great, and the holiday decor was super cute. You can sit inside or with the enclosed outdoor seating with heaters.

I had the Chicken Cashew Nut. So delicious and the Thai Ice Tea was really good, my friends order another round TO GO.

My friend enjoyed her Basil fried rice and another dish was Chicken Teriyaki.

I didn’t order cocktail drinks but I will next time.

Me and my family spend almost to two hours at spicy shallot.We were celebrating my 32 birthday!
I order sashimi plate and Thai iced tea!
I love eating sushi at Spicy shallot because it's always fresh and delicious!

Diner Review №29

Pretty authentic and affordable. Their service was very professional and friendly. The place was clean and comfortable. We ordered basil fried rice and noodle soup with coconut-based curry, both of which tasted very fresh and kicking! Loved the spiciness level. They do have roofed outdoor seatings, one section on the street and another on the sidewalk. Strategically located nearby metro
stations in the Little Thailand part of Queens.

I love the Tamarind duck is so delicious, mango shrimp salad and Salmon appetizer is good to start, the fish and seafood soup are fresh, highly recommended this Thai style restaurant.

Diner Review №39

I came on the weekend. The place was packed but still have enough space to excepted us at the time. Food came out as expected and workers are friendly over the busy restaurant.

Diner Review №40

Absolutely loved Spicy Shallot in Elmhurst! It’s a cozy spot with a great neighborhood vibe. The Uni Crispy Rice was a standout—huge, fresh sea urchin and tuna on crispy rice with a perfect savory sauce. Loved the Soft Shell Crab Mango Salad too, super refreshing and a good balance with the duck curry. Portions are generous, especially the curry, which is perfect for sharing. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere—will definitely be back!

Diner Review №41

The food is very tasty. The waitress are very nice and fast to give you the food.

朋友的推薦,週日晚上跟幾個朋友聚餐。就來體驗一下! 結果真的就像她說的好吃😋! 每道菜都好吃! 我們四個人叫了四杯調酒, 每個人都滿意! 是個可以吃飯小酌的好地方! 食物更不用說了,原本以為自己貪心點太多,真的很多😂結果居然全部吃完沒打包還能叫甜點😂真的是都點對了👍甜點也很好! 我個人最愛的蟹肉炒飯! 記得要跟店家要一個靈魂醬汁-spicy sauce ! 圖片綠色的那個醬! 加在哪裡都好吃😋人均也在50 左右! 真的好值得又吃的滿足😌

Diner Review №49

This is our go to since 2016. Even if we moved to maspeth until now it will always be our favorite. The portions and flavors it’s been consistent since then. They also have great selections from the menu. Hopefully they should slow down on prices. I noticed every year the prices goes up.

Diner Review №50

Great spot for some Thai food!! Service was great, food was amazing. I ordered yum salmon, crab meat fried rice,Pudong Ikura and etc. If you looking for some authentic Thai food, this would be a great choice!!

Diner Review №51

Spicy Shallot has quickly become my favorite Thai spot in Woodside, Queens. The food is absolutely delicious! I ordered the drunk noodles, which were packed with flavor and had the perfect level of spice. The Tom yum soup was a warm, comforting mix of tangy and spicy, hitting all the right notes. To top it all off, I finished with their Mango sticky rice for dessert, which was simply divine and sweet, creamy, and refreshing. If you're looking for authentic Thai in the neighborhood, this is the place to go!

Diner Review №59

I was visiting a friend in the area and showed me this little restaurant in the neighborhood. I was very surprised how nice it was inside. The food and the drinks from the bar were amazing. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

Diner Review №60

Spicy Shallot is one of my favorite restaurants 🫠 For two people we order Thai Iced Tea Jumbo, a sushi sampler... Spicy Calamari and the best duck curry !! You can’t miss your dessert Sticky Rice With mango!

Diner Review №61

Ssrvice was bad! To begin with they gave me a dirty table which they did not even clean. The staffs were rude and unattended. I kept waiting for the waitress, to take my order or even ask for something they took forever to get to you even though it was not really busy. Within 5 minutes of my order food was served and it was cold. They gave me someone else ready order which was so unprofessional and unacceptable. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone, do not waste you time and money here. I am very disappointed at their service!

Diner Review №62

喜欢酸甜辣的芒果虾沙拉。小孩子喜欢Pat Thai … 孩儿爸喜欢海鲜粉丝

Diner Review №63

Tasty food, fast service. I got this noodle soup that was sweet and sour with a good amount of spice. Wasn't too spicy and very tasty. Place was pretty lively but somehow still got quickly seated. I would return if I were in the area.

Diner Review №64

It's a great restaurant
Food is delicious, and the staff is gracious.
A favorite spot of mine.

Diner Review №65

It's a nice place to enjoy food with your friends. We have good time there, nice drinks, nice service. They have godd Thai food, and also good sushi! I like here~

Diner Review №66

My family and I come here all the time. Literally the best sushi in the world at a reasonable price. I went all around the United States to see if the sushi beats Spicy SHallot, let me tell you it doesnt! Thai food is off the charts and this is one of my favorite restaurant in the world!

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

This is a favorite for me

Diner Review №69

Great food with very reasonable price

Diner Review №70

This Thai restaurant is a hidden gem, I love coming here with my family. The service can sometimes be a bit disappointing, its been 3 times in which they forget our drinks and they don't bother ask if we are missing something else or even when we do let know they still forget and we get them until we are done with our meals. Another situation that has happened to us is they don't bring all of our meals together, we once had to wait for my parents meals for over 30 min, this was an issue because we don't tend to eat until everyone has their meal. Other than that the food never disappoints and I will keep coming here.

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

Favorite restaurant in Queens! We’ve been coming here for years. Service, food, atmosphere always excellent. We celebrate every occasion here.

Diner Review №73

Here you can eat a lot of Thai food and sushi at a very cheap price, very comfortable and warm service. Very happy eating!

Diner Review №74

My girl took me here for girls night and we all enjoyed it 🩷 🩷 beautiful theme of blossoms everywhere!!

Diner Review №75

the interior is very aesthetic and calm. the spicy drunken noodles were great.

Diner Review №76

I recently dined at Spicy Shallot and had an overall delightful experience. The ambiance was great, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The service was fabulous with attentive staff who ensured a pleasant dining experience.

For appetizers, I ordered the crispy calamari served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. While it was okay to taste, the highlight of the meal was definitely the crab meat fried rice and the crispy volcano chicken. Both dishes were exceptional in taste, though the volcano chicken was a bit sweeter than I generally prefer, it still did not disappoint.

We also tried the volcano roll from the Japanese menu. It was a good roll, though not particularly special. In comparison, I must say that the Angry Dragon Roll from Matsuri Restaurant in Woodside remains one of the best rolls I've had.

Diner Review №77

The best Thai food in Elmhurst! High quality food and great service!!

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Everything is great except take out. Unfortunately I ordered tamarind duck to go and it’s 26$ for like 25% of the duck. I believe you get way more duck if you eat there. Below is a comparison of both dishes and the portion size from take home to eating there

Diner Review №80

Their chai tea on point da duck rolls is a must da salmon is good da noodles with chicken a lot is 😌 great

Diner Review №81

I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant in the Queen's area and I was blown away by how beautiful and delicious it was! This Thai restaurant gave me so much joy 😍 Every dish I ordered was fantastic!

The staff were all so friendly and accommodating, especially towards children. The prices were reasonable and it's a perfect spot for birthdays and gatherings. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience.💯

Diner Review №82

Amazing food and service! The food was incredible and the flavour amazing! The duck was phenomenal and the salmon fresh and delicious! Their volcano ice cream was literally a volcanic show in itself. Definitley a great place for a dinner date! I would highly reccomend this spot!

Diner Review №83

Where is Thai food lover?! Highly recommend Spicy Shallot in “little Bangkok” area. Authentic Thai dishes make this place is packed. The variety chose of Thai food and served with generous portions at a low price. The atmosphere is great 😊 All food was delicious and served Super Fresh.
If you like to enjoy thai cousine you have to visit spicy shallot!!!

Diner Review №87

This place is nice and cozy place to eat with friends. My first time here and the food was awesome. The waitress was really friendly and pretty. I must say their street duck was on point! I love this dish . We also had the tamarind duck which had some veggies on the bottom but their sauce was tangy sweet. When eating the duck you don’t have to worry about any bones which I think it’s great for kids. I have ordered a few dishes including the “boat of dreams” which consist of some sashimi and sushi!

For the four of us ladies having lunch ordering 3 main dishes and the boat of dream was so fulfilling. We were all so full. I think I found my new favorite Thai place!

Diner Review №88

There’s good reason this place is packed — the dishes, the sauces, the soup, the variety are very Thai-authentic plus all are served with generous portions at a low price. Ideal place to celebrate and party with friends and family.

Diner Review №89

After a bad experience last time, I revisited this restaurant. We tried the BBQ beef, crab rangoon, and chicken pineapple fried rice. The food was good, but the service still disappointed me. While ordering, I realized I couldn't have beer as I needed to drive and asked to change to soda while we were still in the middle of ordering. The waiter, with an annoyed face refused. I was like what do you mean you’re still in the middle of taking our order, i asked for the beer like 10 seconds ago why cant i change it ? He refused and brought the beer anyway which was both surprising and funny to me. I had to let the beer go to waste. I've upgraded my rating to 3 stars from 1, but management needs to address staff training on customer service. My previous review is also in the photos.

Diner Review №90

Nice little restaurant. The food was tasty and fresh. Sushi rolls were nicely done. Attention from the staff was very nice. A great first date place for sure or a nice dinner spot on the weekend.

Diner Review №91

Food is ok

Diner Review №92

We went there on a Saturday around 7ish and it wasn't busy, but by the time we left it was busy. I definitely recommend ordering some appetizers which are Curry Puffs & Calamari. The main dishes were Pad Thai, Crispy Duck Basil & sushi. The food was delicious and served fresh. I'm definitely coming back here when I'm in town.

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Beautiful staff, courteous and attentive… Excellent service. Per food servings good for Asian size or portion of meal.

Diner Review №95

Absolutely worst customer service by a lady!
Was waiting to order, and the lady came and said you been helped I said no, her reply to me was ok! It’s a hospitality and service oriented business, if customers don’t bring you their time and money, just a reminder you are nothing! Be nice to people and try to accommodate!

Diner Review №96

Great Thai food, spectacular lunch specials - ordered red curry, drunken noodles, and curry puffs - portions were very fulfilling, left feeling very full. Indoor and covered outdoor seating, clean bathrooms, and excellent service from staff :)

Diner Review №97

I have no complaint about this place food or staff.
The only problem here is the so called manager who is supposed to be a mediator between customers and staff
INSTEAD he is very unwelcoming, rude and has bad attitude.

I was here for my friends Birthday celebration and was looking to order for our drink, when I didn’t notice any server around me I reached out to the manager but he was BUSY on call and ignored us.
So I lightly touched his hand to get his attention so that we could order new food and drinks.
In which he still ignored and left outside. I thought he would call a staff for us but NO!!!
We were left unattended.
Later on he comes to our table and tells us in a very rude way to not interrupt him while he was on call.
Seriously, This is very disappointing!!!
A TOTAL 0 in customer service and communication skills.
I would suggest the owner of this business to have better management.
We have been coming here from long time, as we loved Thai food. Never coming back here to spend a penny anymore.
I RECOMMEND OTHERS to go to other Thai restaurants in this neighborhood there are plenty, whose food is equally good and services are way far better.
I have been hearing a lot of complaints about this Manager lately from others as well which I found to be very true.

Diner Review №103

Posting because I ordered delivery- asked for no green peppers.
The dish I ordered however was full of jalapeños. Beware.
I appreciate moderate spice but for the price on red curry this was inedible, especially because I did not request extra spicy.
Not funny

*Overpriced Mango Sticky Rice*

I recently visited and was excited to try their mango sticky rice. However, I was shocked to find out that it cost $13 for such a small portion. Even after including tax, the total came up to $15, which I believe is outrageous for the amount of food provided. The taste was decent, but the price definitely did not match the portion size. I would suggest adjusting the pricing to better reflect the value of the dish. Disappointing experience overall.

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

Very disappointed with the quality of the food at my most recent visit.

Diner Review №110

Highly recommend this restaurant. One of the best Thai food spots in all of NYC. Food was delicious, must try their drunken noodles with a large Thai tea! The soft shell crab mango salad is great, the crab rangoons were awesome. Their pad Thai is also one of the best I’ve ever had. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. They were super organized and efficient. The atmosphere is great, nice interior as well as exterior designs. Must stop by while in Elmhurst.

Diner Review №111

it’s a nice atmosphere for a date night and to come with family and friends however i just didn’t like some things in the restaurant. for example the portion of the drunken noodles were little for one person dish because mostly it was veggies… and the sushi i got the wrong order then they gave the right one however $17 for that sushi isn’t even worth it because it’s just basic filling and nothing special about special sushi ? what’s special? tuna and shrimp? anyways they also charged me for spicy mayo $2 be for real. Anyways if i come back maybe on lunch special time not regular. I had better thai other places so this don’t compare with the food.

It was amazing want to come again

Prob one of my favorite thai restaurants in nyc/ in my neighborhood. Food is always great and the prices are reasonable. It’s either I dine-in or order to go or from uber eats. It’s always good. Ive been a loyal customer for many years. I’ve seen the restaurant changed throughout the years but quality of food is still the same except for the price of course. I recommend this restaurant a lot .

Diner Review №116

One of the best dumpling and red curry I ever had. Atmosphere is beautiful and service was great as well.

Will definitely go again if i am in this area. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

We have been regular customers for a long time. We really love their food. But I hate to write that yesterday dinner was the worst experience. We were served cold and stale food. Our 3 entrees came within 5 mins after we placed the order and appetizer was served afterwards. We felt that the entrees were not fresh and felt they were reheated rather than freshly cooked. But we still tipped them 20% as usual.

Muy buena la comida, el sushi con ginger excelente para los que lo prueban por primera vez

Diner Review №126

I have never tried that kind of food .
However one I get in the place is so confortable. The waitress are so nice with u
The food is so good and tasty . Personally I always go to eat dumplings and pineapple rice. For a beverage I recommend the ice tee. Simply amazing

Just updating my review... about 7 years comming to this restaurant and the taste is the same as the first time here... food , atmosphere , servers and the owners are so kind and friendly ... altho I got to say... the appearance of the restaurante has chance before was nice .. now is even better decorations furniture... even a spot where u can take pictures... honestly this is the best thai restaurant ever ! 5 star is not enough

Diner Review №127

Quite average of all other Thai in the neighborhood.

Diner Review №128

Absolutely satisfied with the takeout orders I have recently placed at Spicy Shallot. The Pad Se Ew and drunken noodle with chicken were absolutely delectable and exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the authentic flavors that the dishes offer, although I must say they are quite spicy so it's something to be mindful of for those with a low tolerance for heat.

I am looking forward to exploring more of their menu and trying out new dishes on my next order.

Diner Review №129

I really enjoyed drunken noodles and basil fried rice. The crab fried rice and the Thai tea stole my heart. The star of the show was for sure Thai Tea

Diner Review №130

We decided to venture in, although it wasn’t our first choice. We were craving some Asian flavors and stumbled upon the charming ‘Little Thailand’ right here in Woodside. We started with some shrimp fried and Tom Kha soup as appetizers, followed by a delightful salmon over rice. The atmosphere of the place is cozy, the service impeccable, and the food exceptional. To accompany, we indulged in a Thai iced tea and a refreshing red sangria. A noteworthy culinary experience! I definitely look forward to returning with more company to share this culinary gem.

Diner Review №131

I like this place

Diner Review №132

If you like to enjoy thai cousine you have to visit spicy shallot, well one of the reasons to be there is cause my family loves sushi and that combination we love it...we love this place food always on the spot,it was a nice birthday gift to my self .highly recommend.

Diner Review №133

This place is a Gem 💎,I loved all my dishes presentations look at pics and I'm really not moved by food unless taste quality and price are a trifecta. You will look at the outside and be fooled by how nice and clean the place is First date , couples night out this is the one

Diner Review №134

This place has to be my favorite thai spot in NYC at the moment. The food is incredibly delicious and the service is friendly and quick.

I’ve tried the lettuce wraps (sooooo good with the ground chicken with thai bird chilies, cashews, ginger, lime, and red onions), duck curry, som tum (spicy), crab fried rice, and kra pow. All 10/10. I’m excited to return and try more food🫶🏻💖

Their mango sticky rice is also soooo yummy😍

Diner Review №135

Waitress was kinda rude towards us , but the food was good.

Diner Review №136

Little Bangkok has several amazing places to visit. Each has their own special key to fame. Honestly, I think that this may be the reason why this social media cute spot doesn't shine as much as it should.

First, I appreciate amazing customer service. Making sure that customer service is done right means that there has to be a perfect balance between availability, hospitality and utility. When I arrive for dinner with my friend, our servers energy seemed a little frenetic. Upon seating, while we were still taking off our coats and settling in, we were immediately approached with questions about placing orders for food or drinks. After several approaches, we had to just ask for a moment to chill and review the comprehensive menu.

We ended up ordering a mix of vegan and non-vegan dishes. Was rather concerning that some of the vegan dishes still contained non-vegan ingredients. Good thing we knew enough to ask but could be a problem for someone who's less familiar with Thai cooking.

Ended up enjoying a wonderful time catching up with friends. With a few considerations, I could really see this be a great place for locals to frequent.

Diner Review №137

Went there on a Saturday evening, great vibe, live music, amazing food, loved it.

Diner Review №138

Food was absolutely great, service could have been a tiny bit better (server took a while to check in) but very accommodating for the small space. Our parameters for good Thai spots are bomb Tom Yum and Som Tam and they knocked it out of the park with both!

Diner Review №139

Service was good and food was tasty. Don't forget to order to jumbo thai iced tea for only $10. Wish the portions for the drunken noodles were just a bit bigger and the Crab fried rice had a bit more crab meat.

Diner Review №140

This place has been very consistent through the years. I've never had anything bad here. Love the tamarind duck, pineapple fried rice, appetizers etc. It's one of the best places in little Thailand. Service is very fast and friendly.

Diner Review №141

After all these years, we finally went and tried it. We were delighted and found the food simple yet delicious. Going back for more.

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №150

Love coming here! Thai iced tea is great and so is their crab Ragoon it literally melts in your mouth. Also love the theme of the place very calm. I recommend the crispy shrimp rolls and spicy basil fried rice !

One of my favorite restaurants and this is usually my first stop when I'm in nyc. Everything is bomb as usual. The only thing is why did they serve my lychee drink in a boring glass with just 1 lychee when picture was in Mason jar with 3 lychee and I clearly remember getting them before.🤔

Amazing Thai food for the price!

Diner Review №173

Place is pretty, nicely located in the corner. Easy parking. I had the red snapper. With a mango salad. The mango salad had an unpleasant taste. Just off. I had to ask the waiter to remove it. So with that in mind I didn't enjoy my meal. 🫣
They do have many patrons. So it maybe my taste buds. I do love thai food. I would be willing to try something else.
I ordered jasmine tea and finally took the taste of the salad out my taste buds.

Food is tasty and waitresses are friendly. Nice Thai food place in queens. I feel like it’s better than others around there.

Haven't been here in a few years. When I did go, I always had the duck basil. I had it again after all this time, and it tasted the same as I remember. It's good to see some restaurants can hold their standards.

The food was very sweet like a dessert. I ordered Volcano chicken and Salmon red curry which were very sweet which lacked the overall integrity of Thai food- turned out to be a somber experience. Although the server provided some extra hot sauces and chillies,only to be a lackluster. Perhaps, I will look for other options on the menu in future.

Wowwwwwww I am happy that I could this restaurant today!!!!! Portion, Price, and Taste are perfect. I will definitely come back here.

Diner Review №188

This truly is a neighborhood favorite but I can't help feeling that the portions have decreased and that is due to everything being expensive. But overall a good place for Thai food. I recommend the tamarind duck!

Amazing thai spot filled with delicious foods. Everything i’ve ordered was so good. I definitely recommend coming here for lunch with friends or as a date spot. I had the pork belly, pad thai, fried calamari, volcanic chicken, and the mango fish. 10/10 was so good everything was flavorful. I will DEFINITELY be back!

Diner Review №196

I love this place. They are reasonable in price with excellent quality of food. It's the best Thai place ever. They also carry a great drink bar. My husband and I love coming here for a bite to grab, and every time, it makes me crave more. They give a great portion of food. I love their salmon and duck curry. It's the best. The ambiance is great with very friendly staff and the interior is so pretty. I love their floral decor. Street parking is available. Also, they are kids friendly.

Food was super delicious and fast delivery!! Sushi tasted really fresh, and the curry was amazing.

Diner Review №198

I have been going to Spicy Shallot for about 10+ yrs. Seen a lot of changes made but the menu is consistently delicious. Our favorites are the tuna avocado roll and the whole red snapper hits all the notes.

Diner Review №199

This is my second time ordering from this place, first time I ordered drunken noodles and it was amazing but second time I got drunken noodles and the noodles were thin rice noodles not the thick ones as usual. No consistency with this place sadly. The pad thai also looks sad
