Diner Review №8

I can’t believe we spent $70 on three small entrees that were just bigger than the size of my cell phone. And the food is not even that good. I know of 5 other Thai restaurants in Long Island that are so much better. I will never order from here again. I’m so disappointed. The sad part is, over the phone when we ordered, they wouldn’t even tell us the price. They said they’re too busy and they can’t tell right now. We should’ve taken that as a bad sign but you always want to give people the benefit of the doubt. Totally jipped us. Do not order from here again.

I grab a Pad See Ew here and there, in my opinion, it’s delicious. I’ve had it elsewhere, and nothing ever compares. By the looks of it, it’s a little expensive for the quantity, but the Pad See Ew is very rich, and I’m always satisfied by the time the last bite comes around.

Diner Review №11

The owner Frankly and staff give me such a warm welcome. The food is good; I will definitely recommend this place to eat.

Diner Review №12

Amazing food, home cooked like in Thailand! Owner operated, small and authentic. Byob is a plus.

Diner Review №13

Food quality and quantity has dropped significantly. Wish I could give it zero stars. Wait time and service is poor as well. Told to pay cash only that credit card machines are down. Seems to be some front for another business.

Diner Review №14

I ordered Volcano chicken.🤣🤣. Im sorry its General toast chicken. This is not Authentic Thai food, i know what it taste like .I can only taste General toast chicken in the food ; i added spicy flavour to my order. .The service was good but this is not a typical Thai food. This is American type of home made food. I travel to places to give review on food and many countries and Tris-state to give reviews.. The service was good but the Authentic of Thai in the food i ordered is not there. Secondly , over Prices for the Food.

The servers were very attentive and although it was busy the wait for food and drinks was minimal. Definitely plan on returning to try a few of their other dishes.

Diner Review №18

Best Thai food I ever had! Authentic and fresh and Frank the owner is always so accommodating and friendly! His wife is the chef we love her too!

Diner Review №19

This couple are gem 💎! The food, environment and service is like dining in a dream. Great culinary experience.

Diner Review №20

Ive been going to this restaurant for years and I’ve been to so many Thai restaurants but this one by far is the best one, they always greet people with kindness and are always are so nice with anything they do. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone

Diner Review №23

Friendly staff and nice clean restaurant. Even though the sign said "must have reservations" we called from outside the door and they accommodated us. The food is tasty, but the serving sizes are just too small, especially for my husband's chicken ginger. It basically just had bits of chicken in it. Note that we aren't big eaters, just your average hungry Joe. Sadly, we probably won't be back.

Diner Review №24

Frankly Thai is the best kept secret of the thoroughbred racetrack world in New York. You'll never meet a nicer set of owners then these two, and you'll enjoy every single moment of eating their delicious food! Love their food, staff, and atmosphere.

Made reservations for Saturday night. Ordered the Pad Se-ew with a side of Sweet Sticky Rice and Thai dumplings as an appetizer. The best authentic Thai food I have ever eaten and that includes a recent trip to Thailand this past year. I'm not a big fan of super spicy food, and this was right up my alley. My friends love spice and ordered the hot stuff. They were in heaven. Another friend ordered vegetarian and was very pleased.
Host is welcoming and available to offer suggestions for those new to Thai food.
This is a clean, friendly place with many food options, lots of parking, and a comfortable environment. You'll love the experience. Call for reservations.

Diner Review №31

We always have a wonderful experience and feel at home here. The food is fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

We love frankly Thai! Great family spot where they really make you feel welcome. We have been doing take-out since COVID, but recent saw theyre back open for reservation only

Diner Review №34

Very good food and owner was VERY friendly. Would go again!

Diner Review №35

Best Thai food in the area. It can strongly compete with Queens spots for take out (I have not had a sit-down meal here).

Staff is extremely kind, they remember you and they appreciate your business.

It might sound silly, but their Wanton Soup is beyond belief! I sometimes just order the soup alone.

Their yellow curry is great, so is the fried basil rice and drunken noodles... the curry puffs... everything I believe is great here.

Diner Review №36

Ordered takeout. Have to say this is a fantastic Thai restaurant! Will be back!

Diner Review №40

IT WAS SOOOO VERY GOOD ...WILL BE THERE SOON ...

Diner Review №41

Portions are way too small for the price you pay. Not worth it.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

They changed their prices and didn't update the menus!! We found out AFTER we ate. And, they lock the doors in the middle of they day, they say you have to make "reservations " but the place was almost empty. Way too many issues for a simple afternoon lunch.

Diner Review №46

First timer. Got drunken noodles.
The flavor was out of this world. Only downside
Is the price $$$

Traditional Thai food

Diner Review №49

Freshly cooked food! The best around town for sure!!!

Diner Review №50

Just was not a fan of the food the spring rolls were good and the coconut rice was ok but the pad Thai was kinda eww

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

This restaurant is an old faithful…One of the best family run businesses in the area. Everything I’ve ever ordered from the satay to the fried rice, is just amazing!!! I visit about 3 times a month and that says a lot for me because I am very big on cooking at home. Prices are decent for the quality of the dishes.

Diner Review №53

Very disappointed in the food today. For years we been going to Frankly thai and loved it but today when we picked up our take out order it was disappointing because of the amount of food. The dishes were so small we paid 55$ for 3 dishes and were not satisfied. There was barely any chicken in any of the dishes. The drunken noodles mainly had eggs instead of chicken.

Diner Review №54

This place is amazing. Second time. Same meal as good as the first time. Maybe I’ll try something else next time.

Frankly ... INCREDIBLE ! You want it hot enough to sweat, just ask! Fried rice & Coconut Shrimp is the BOMB! GREAT DECORE, GREAT PEOPLE! FRANLY, IT'S GREAT!

Diner Review №64

The red chicken curry was perfectly spicy and the broth was delicious. There aren’t too many high quality Thai restaurants in Nassau County, but this is one of them.

Diner Review №65

Frankly trash

Diner Review №66

$17 dollars for a really small portion. Either lower price or make portion bigger? Anyways food was okay use too much grease and sauce.

Diner Review №67

The gentleman that took my order on the phone was really pleasant. The sweet lady brought the food to my car which was nice as it was raining. The reason for the 3 stars was the red curry was really sweet but they did try to make it spicy as per my request. The drunken noodles were pretty good but the portions were too small for the price. Paid almost $37 for 2 dishes.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

The food is disgusting. The owner is a real piece of work. and definitely needs to lose weight. The wait staff are very incompetent. The food is over priced and the portions are very small. I will never go back to this place. There are plenty of other thai restaurants in Long Island.

Diner Review №70

Best Thai food in Nassau county! Portions are very small, however most authentic Thai places seem to be that way.

Diner Review №71

Not worth it to expensive for what u get not ordering again from this place

Diner Review №72

I ordered the food today and totally disappointed. I ordered 4 dishes and all the dishes were half full and for the price definitely not worth it.

Diner Review №73

Great Thai food

Diner Review №74

We had heard good reviews about this place but truly disappointed by the takeout the quality and Quantity was truly below standard for the price definitely not worth it. I wish I would have checked the bag before I left and asked for my money back.

Diner Review №75

My favorite favorite restaurant!! The owners are so sweet and the food is always fantastic.

Diner Review №82

I ordered from here for the first time and got the Chicken Pad Thai and was very disappointed. When I got home and opened the Chicken Pad Thai I was met with a strong off-putting odor. I tried to diregard the odor and decided to still give it a taste, I could only do one bite and the Pad Thai tasted as it smelt...very very very bad. I had to throw it in the trash, definitely a waste of money. Really wish I could give it negative stars but Google wouldn’t let me.

Diner Review №83

Terrific take out.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

No flavor in the food just pure oil . Waste of $50

Diner Review №86

This is one of the best Thai places. The portions are reasonable. I had spring rolls as appetizer and dumplings. I had a red curry with chicken. The best thing is that it is BYOB.

Diner Review №87

Best thai food I have had! Get the golden bags appetizer. Besides the great presentation the food is delicious!

Food was delicious! I enjoyed the drunken noodles with chicken and the spicy Ramen noodles with pork!! The waitress that delivers the food to your car was so pleasant and sweet!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

Over priced

Diner Review №94

Expensive and nothing special. I can’t believe the soup costs over $10 and the duck costs $30. The soup tasted watery. All of the dishes are less and it doesn’t deserve the tag price. We ordered four dishes and they didn’t prepare any cutlery. Disappointed.

Diner Review №95

Wow im so happy my wife took us here.
Plenty of parking. Cozy space.
The food was so so good. Perfect blend of flavors n textures . Kudos to the chef😍😍

This is one of the nicest restaurants in Franklin Square. The food is always fresh and well made. It is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and the owner and staff are friendly. It is no wonder the place is so popular.

Diner Review №101

Went for a quick Saturday brunch with a few friends about a couple months ago and I can thoroughly say I enjoyed everything I had. Advertisers and maincourse were very tasty and the service was quick and servers are very responsive and helpful, easy recommendation.

Diner Review №110

I love this place but I have a condition that does not allow me to eat spicy foods at all. They use to accommodate me when I ask for an order to be NOT SPICY, and it would be perfect. Now I get the order home it’s too spicy to eat, now it happens all the time. I loved the food but not the burn. Not worth 2-3 days of discomfort.

There is something incredibly special about Frankly Thai. Yes, the food is expertly prepared using fresh ingredients. Yes, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Yes it's got parking. Yes you will be glad you went there. You will get so much more than just a meal, because this little restaurant is bursting with love; a passion for cooking, a demonstrable gratitude towards the community, and a kindness between people that you don't see everywhere. The owners really seem to love what they do and the people they do it for, you. And the food is amazing too.

Diner Review №138

Great food, clean restaurant, very friendly staff. Food is very fairly priced. No alcoholic beverages served. Overall great evening would definitely do it again.

Diner Review №139

The food here is fabulous!! 😍😍

Diner Review №140

This place used to be great, but I believe their success has gotten to their heads. I tried to make a take out order, using an old menu, and the woman on the phone belittled me for ordering something that is no longer on the menu.

Excellent Thai food great value for the money

Diner Review №151

The best thai food I've ever had. Try the scallion pancakes, and golden bags to start. Cant go wrong with any of the noodle entrees. The specials are always great. And wash it all down with a thai sweet tea. Absolute gem.

Diner Review №152

Really good food.

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

Waited 40 minutes for a table. Glad some suckers left! It only moved my daughter and I up the line. Red curry- savory. Massaman Curry- delectable. Food was dynamite. I'd honestly would have waited for an hour. The meal was absolutely delicious. I hope you people don't Start clogging the place up because of this review. Damn it.

Diner Review №155

Fantastic food and the friendliest staff I have ever encountered in any restaurant. Ever. Can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №156

Second time coming here and the food doesn't disappoint! The environment is very relaxing and the is staff is also very friendly, and on point. Our waitress made sure everything was ok, including refilling our water as soon as they noticed the glass is empty (I say they because another waitress who happened to be nearby refilled my glass when my waitress was in the kitchen). Definitely one of my new go to places.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Very unprofessional behavior. Went to Frankly Thai at 9:10pm on a Wednesday, 50 minutes before closing time. I drove 30 minutes to get there and was so excited because everyone said their food is delicious. When we got there, the doors were locked, so we checked the time and looked inside. There were a good amount of people seated. Finally, a lady (not too friendly) came and told us that we could only get take out. I asked why when the restaurant was still open? Mind you, I'm not the type to go to a restaurant 30 minutes before closing because I don't think it's courteous. We would have eaten our food and left promptly. She tried to say that they close the doors because it was almost closing time, but when I became assertive and stated that she still had 50 minutes, she said okay and tried to let us in. We refused. We didn't want poor service or tampered food so we took our business elsewhere, to a Caribbean restaurant, where it was appreciated. I'm sure that their food is excellent, however, I will frequent a place with a kind staff and average food more often than a place with excellent food and an ungrateful staff. Customers are the reason why your place is open so appreciate their business.

Thai food here never disappointed, If you go during busy hours there might be a waiting time. Take out available, plenty of parking. Owner is extremely nice always chatting with guest always out on the dining floor making sure everyone is enjoying. Would highly recommend to anyone, come experience for yourself the one thing I miss from living in Long Island is the great food available.

👍 the best thai food in Franklin square!

Diner Review №183

Best Thai spot in the area! Family owned and operated! A local favorite with a genuine thai menu! BYOB so you and yours can be satisfied with your choice of beverages for the duration of your meal. Excellent and friendly service!

Diner Review №184

Take out. Expensive and don't give receipt unless requested. Food was not worth price. Will not order again.

Diner Review №185

Best Thai food on Long Island hands down

Diner Review №186

The red snapper with green curry is something you have to try. The fish is big but taste so good you will be surprised when you finish it in one seating.

Diner Review №187

The food was really disappointing. Pad thai noodles had no peanuts. Literally. Drunken noodles and Pad See Ew was a disaster, the noodles were torn and shredded beyond belief. Also, I've never heard of a thai restaurant that doesn't have lime. Points for ambiance, but servers are rude and keep rushing you.

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

Portions are very small, and it isn't the best Thai food I've ever had. On the plus side wait Staff is pleasant and efficient. The cooks husband greets the customers making the dining experience very personal. It's a cozy spot, I wish the food was better.

Diner Review №191

Extremely lovely staff, Frank is just so pleasant! Food was beyond phenomenal, best Thai I've ever had. They really made an effort to comply to our dietary needs. Honestly I do not remember the last time I had such a lovely experience in a restaurant! If I could give more stars I would. Can't wait to come back!

Diner Review №192

Best Thai anywhere!! Frank & Jin are great people too!!!

I have Celiac and the waitress knew to ask that my dish be made without soy sauce. Pad Thai was excellent, restaurant was clean, and staff was friendly and attentive. I'll be visiting again when I'm in the area!

Diner Review №199

Diner Review №200

poor service when dining in, and small portions for the price - go to centre thai bistro in east rockaway instead for a great lunch special!
