Got take-out from here so admittedly I'm reviewing this in that light (i.e. giving it a bit more grace than if I had eaten it in person).

Tom yum soup: this was delightful. It was a small/appetizer size portion for about $9 each. The chicken it came with was fine, I ended up adding some more protein. I think the flavor could have been a BIT spicier but it was nice.

Garlic sautéed: this was my least favorite of the 3 things I got. To be fair, I try not to order seafood as my protein in Thai dishes like this as I feel like it's a bit of a waste and doesn't add much to the dish. But despite this, I felt like the sauce was a bit boring and the garlic certainly was not evenly distributed.

Spicy basil w/ chicken: I've always said spicy basil is an excellent dish on which to judge a Thai restaurant and this was a good option. Perfectly spicy, good amount of substance, and chicken was nice. Lived up to standards.

Side note, I truly appreciated that everything was super wrapped in plastic wrap so it was an overall very clean takeout experience.

First time. The red curry with chicken was spicy enough for me but why is the rice small? A meal that price should have the large rice. That amount of rice only goes for half of the chicken red curry. Please give more rice. And how about offering chicken flavored rice?

Diner Review №5

Excellent food! We’ve tried a few different dishes and all have been great so far. Super friendly service when placing our order and picking up our food. We’re so happy to have this place in the neighborhood!

Diner Review №6

Food is always great. Always fresh and great flavor.

Diner Review №8

This place is very intimate, not to mention that the Thai food is amazing and delicious! I tried their pineapple fried rice with chicken. I highly recommend it. It does contain cashews, for those allergic to peanuts. The staff was also very attentive and polite. Go and check this place out. You will not regret it!

Diner Review №9

Little expensive but very good

Diner Review №10

This is our new Thai Restaurant! We ordered the Shrimp pad Thai and The Drunken Noodles.. We asked for the food to be mildly spicy and that is precisely how our Oder was made. The women who took our order was super friendly and Recommended the Curry Puffs .. My Wife and I were eyeing the last one like hungry unfed lions.. 😂 My wife ended up having the last one. Highly Recommend this place.

Diner Review №11

Always delicious and worth the time & money spent.

They were nice enough to deliver feom outside their delivery range. Food is fresh and delicious! Definitely recommend them. Wonderful experience!!!

Diner Review №15

Great experience and atmosphere. Food was fantastic, generous portions. Our server was very nice. Definitely would go back!

Diner Review №16

Pan made sure we had one of the best dine-in experiences ever! Her hospitality and attentiveness made my fiancé and I feel so welcomed. The place is cozy, intimate and clean. The food was absolutely amazing, flavorful and fresh. Definitely coming back! 😋

Diner Review №17

Today my husband and I decided to try our neighborhood restaurant and we landed on this gem. Excellent food and so was the service. We enjoyed every bite of the meals that we ordered. We will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu. 👍🏻👍🏻

Diner Review №18

Makin Thai is a new restaurant that just opened few weeks ago ,the food is excellent,chef Oh and his staff prepare the most authentic Thai food and homemade ice cream for all customers.staff are very friendly and professional,atmosphere is great to have friends and family for lunch and dinner.would recommend this place.

Diner Review №19

This place is fantastic!! My family and my partner and I have often gotten Tasty Thai on Myrtle for Thai food. MA KIN IS SO MUCH BETTER!! Curry puffs, couldn’t stop eating them. Rose Rangoon and shrimp rolls? Oh my god. The noodle dishes? Packed with flavor, the noodles aren’t overly chewy or gummy, just perfect. Best Thai Iced Tea I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot of Thai iced tea), and their Butterfly Tea was also amazing! Their desserts?! I’m not a fan of coconut or even pudding, but their coconut puddings were tasty treats I’ll definitely get again, their cheesecake tasted like real cheesecake, and I am a die-hard fan for lava cake. They NAILED that. If you’re looking for the best Thai food in all of Queens, this is it!

Diner Review №20

Excellent exotic food

Diner Review №21

I went here because they had good reviews on Google. And I wasn't disappointed. The place is tiny, but clean. They have a few tables. I ordered curry puff - I've never tried it. They are very tasty, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nice combination with a sweet sauce. .I also took a large tom kha soup and it was very large. It's good that Thai food is light. The service is very nice and the prices are reasonable. I recommend it

Diner Review №22

The new owners are amazing, the food is delicious and has been consistently fresh every time I order. The staff is very kind and the portions are decently sized. Their butterfly blue tea is so delicious, everything from their menu has been very good. Highly recommend this place

Diner Review №23

Really love the changes new ownership has made. All of the food I have ordered has been great. Very nice people over the phone and a great option for food in the neighborhood. I’ve heard the dine in experience has improved immensely from others and have to try it myself one day. (More room to sit inside and great service). Most definitely recommend. (Particularly the eggplant and Pad sea yew.)

Update: also had dine in now, and food was amazing and service was great!

Diner Review №24

Ma Kin has been under new management for two months and there food is excellent. Their Pad Kee Mao is great and I also love the appetizer rose rangoon. The service is really good and the workers are very friendly. If you want to find a good Thai spot then Ma Kin is definitely it. I recommend it.

Diner Review №25

I used to order from this place for a dew years but since this place change the ownership its more expensive and the food portions are ridiculous I called the lady to complain about it but she wasn't respectful and she just hung up the phone. 👎

Diner Review №26

Very pleased with the food. I had the fried chicken, spring rolls and rose Rangoon. It was all very yummy.My husband loved the eggplant dish he ordered. Delivery was quick. Very happy to have this restaurant in the neighborhood. Will be ordering again.

Diner Review №27

Wow, this was amazing pad see ew. Highly recommend trying these guys.

Diner Review №28

I ordered for 2 times. Love their mango sticky rice and papaya salad. It's so tasty.

Diner Review №29

Ordered from them tonight and they followed my order notes perfectly! I asked them to make my chicken pad Thai spicy or to add chili oil on the side and they provided both for me. It was delicious, fresh, and the presentation on the plate was cute. Will order again with some other food options!

Diner Review №30

Diner Review №31

The most delicious Thai cuisine, in my opinion. We've only ordered delivery service so I can't speak on the atmosphere. Delivery is always prompt and the food arrives hot. Two times they were out of a drink I ordered and I received a phone call to either choose a replacement or get a refund. That is great customer service. We have tried many of the dishes and loved them all. Massaman curry is our favorite go-to meal but everything is delicious and fresh.

Diner Review №32

So far one of the best Thai restaurants we've been to. The place is small but food and service are excellent!

Diner Review №33

Padthai Noodles for days! Stop by and try one so delicious.

Diner Review №34

I had an amazing dining experience. I ordered the Chicken Dumplings, Thai Iced Tea, and fried chicken . The food was exceptionally delicious!

Diner Review №35

It makes me sad to say the quality of this restaurant has gone down. I’ve been coming here for years and have not had any big issues till now. I have to assume it’s because of change in managements. Today I discovered a bug in my food once I was almost done eating, as gross as it sounds. The staff was very accommodating and understanding though. Very disappointing and I hope they start making improvements.

Diner Review №36

New Menu from makin thai , High quality , tased goods . Papaya salad from pics is only friends. If you need some fresh try butter fly blue pea.

Diner Review №37

1st impressions last a lifetime. I was in the mood for Thai and after a quick google search, Ma Kin happened to be walking distance from my home.
Fon was very pleasant. She greeted us immediately after walking in. The place was very clean and bright. On to the food: I had the Shrimp roll & The garlic chicken lunch special. My wife had the chicken Pad Thai. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh. After going thru my dish, I was leaning over eating off of my wife's plate. I will be a regular. Thank you Ma Kin!

Diner Review №38

My boss loved the spicy Basil fried rice with chicken but she can't figure out how to write a review. She overheard it was under new management and highly recommends it. Five stars. Great job!

Diner Review №39

I was in the neighborhood and decided to have a late lunch with my sister. This is a nice little restaurant that definitely gave the feeling of a “home” vibe.

I loved that the owner had their story attached to the menu which kind of gave a little of the thoughtfulness that went into the menu items.

We ordered Tom yum soup which came with 3 shrimp and I must say it was delicious. Perfect tartness and spice.

I had the red curry with chicken and my sister had the Thai fried rice with chicken. Both were a decent size portion, might I say even shareable. Both dishes were flavorful.

My favorite item was the butterfly blue iced tea. Sweet, refreshing with a strong after taste of tree bark. Try it, I promise you will enjoy it as much as I did.

My sister and I were both surprised at the total bill because we got take home orders and it still was such a great price overall. Very budget friendly restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant for authentic Thai food and will definitely be visiting again to try other menu options.

Good Thai Food
Owner have two location
Also “Kam Rai Thai” in Astoria
Both are good Thai food. You will not disappoint. Very friendly staffs as well.

Diner Review №42

I'm here for pick-up.
The lady told me to wait for 5 mins late.
After 7 mins she it hadn't been ready yet so I told her how long more? And then she said if you don't like, just cancel it. What a great attitude she is! I thought she can make more money caz the price went up though

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

My friend and I just went on for a quick lunch. They serve food very quickly. Food is authentic Thai dishes. I like the green curry more than the Tom Yum Soup (a bit too sweet to me).

The restaurant is small but cozy. Three little tables for max no more than 15 customers. This is my second time going in the mid-day. I don't see crowds in the restaurant. The waitress is nice.

Diner Review №45

I order a Pad see ew and I got an over cooked chicken, over cooked flat rice noodle. It was not what I was expecting.

Diner Review №46

I ordered sesame chicken and I paid over $14 for a very small amount. There is not enough sauce and more broccoli from water than chicken. And a lot of rice. Newer going to order again.

Diner Review №47

Mediocre Thai food . The biggest disappointment was the papaya salad . Wouldn’t order again . Easily the worse thai food we have ever had . It was so bad we tossed the food and ordered pizza

Diner Review №48

This place is darling. It is cozy and comfortable. The food was incredible! The service was superb. The young man taking care of our table was the gentlest kindest soul! We got the massaman potato bread, fried tofu, eggplant tofu, mixed seafood entree, Thai iced tea, mango juice, lychee juice, and Mango Sticky Rice! Wow. All the flavors were wonderful! So delicious :) The mango sticky rice was EXCEPTIONAL and so fresh!!! All of the sauces were so falvofyl and amazing too. Everything was cooked really well and plating is thoughtful + artistic 🎨 Mmm. Just mmm :)

Diner Review №49

I was in a rush and grabbed the pad sew to go and it was amazingly delicious. Love their food and that's all you need to know for a restaurant

Diner Review №50

I called in an order and when I went to pick up I asked the front desk lady if I can sit and eat my food. Then the lady proceeded to ask me if I have cash to Tip her even though I already left tip when I ordered online. I just left and went I work and ate my food there. Food is decent staff is inconsiderate. You don’t ask someone to tip you before they even sit or try the food. If she wouldn’t have asked me if I had cash after I ate I would have left some money for her.

Diner Review №51

Orders FOR DELIVERYS take WAY TO LOONG 40 to 1 hour to dispatch an order they start the food when the delivery arrived

Diner Review №52

Tom Yum soup it’s the worst I ever try in my life. I throw it to the toilet.
It’s a cider soup with 3 shrimps without coconut milk. Last time I ordered from this place

Diner Review №53

Ma Kin translates means “Come Eat” and I would never go eat if they continued to serve me old noodles for “Rad Nah”. Growing up eating Rad Nah in the west coast I was applaud that in NYC the do not offer Crushed Peanuts, Dry Peppers or Jalapeños with my “”traditional Thai dish “ idk who is on that kitchen but I’ve worked many Thai kitchens in nyc and by far this is one of the top WORST . Literally saddened by the lack of flavor . I hope some one had a bad day but the sauce itself is lacking flavor . Throw this batch of mixture away. The noodles are not soft
At all . After re hearing the sauce and sauté it still is soft . Looks someone messed up an prior order and used this for my order. WASNT GIVEN UTENTILS I guess I’m supposed to with my hands? Even my cousins in Luang Prabang have utensils. The gravy reminds me of disaster . It’s watery like it was made strictly with water. Poor poor quality PLEASE DO NOT TRY

Diner Review №56

Small takeout thai place with limited seating inside. We ordered Pad Thai noodles, sausage fried rice, small wonton soup and spring rolls. Price was reasonable and food was ready quick! Taste was great and would recommend again!

Diner Review №57

The food was great we got the appetizer combo and pineapple fried rice which was amazing. The noodles were excellent. The Thai iced tea was very delicious. The service was great and attentive.

Diner Review №58

Taste food

Diner Review №59

This was the worst 🙁 There was zero flavor. The chicken was just boiled. There was no curry flavor. There was no coconut flavor. It was bland. Bland. Flavorless. Void of taste. The curry was like water.
It was like the chef never made Thai food before. All the key ingredients were missing. The delivery made me sad. It was an absolute WASTE of time and money. I really tried to like it. I don’t normally leave bad reviews but this was just so epically disappointing. I mean, I would never offer this food to anyone. I threw out most of it. It was just the worst “Thai” food I’ve ever had. Figured I’d spare you the mistake I made.
The thai iced tea was good.

Diner Review №60

Small place with great food !

Diner Review №61

Love MK! Pineapple red curry is amazing, only a little spicy and the tofu is some of the best in Qns/& texture-wise always on point. Coconut shrimp are so yummy, as is the pad kee mao, roti massaman, veggie rolls w peanut & fried banana w honey! All excellent- lovely local Thai spot with great vegetarian menu options

Diner Review №62

Another americanized thai place. No fish sauce, no tamarind sauce. Place is okay but disappointing.

Diner Review №63

Great food both for delivery and sit-down. Don’t skip their taro custard (amazing) and their specialty pages if you like spicy. Always a treat when I get a chance to be there

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

I like my beverages with no insects on them 😞.
I love Thai coffee and try to get it as often as I can, I decided to give this place a try and there was an insect in there. Please be clean when preparing the food/drinks. This is not okay and cleanliness should always come first when preparing the products!
It was disgusting.

Diner Review №66

Comida mui rica sobre todo arroz con pato

Diner Review №67

Order one red curry and one green curry, to be honest, I can say that I’ve had much better Thai curry from other restaurants. Their curry was more like water, neither had thickness nor flavor :) also so much oil in curry. This was my personal opinion, however my girl thought it was really yummy!

Diner Review №68

Came here just to try something new. If you are to come here order your normal popular thai dishes. We ordered pad kee mao with crispy pork, was pretty good and tasty. The Thai basil eggplant didn't really have much eggplant mostly onions, sting beans and pork. The soft shell crab did not taste fresh and was super sweet and came with mostly vegetables.

Diner Review №69

So, myself and my daughter Sophia came to eat here at MaKin not too long ago(weekday night) and thought id share my experience. The food was very small portions, she got the Shrimp Pad Thai it has like max two shrimps, and I got Peanut Sauce Rama with vegetables no meat. Girl at front desk, was not very attentive was on her phone until we ask her for more water and utensils and water. I would return in the future but, customer service needs to improve and little more portion and highly suggest you get a kids menu! Xo, Vivan and Sophia.

Diner Review №70

My girlfriend and I were in the area (far from home) and stopped in here because of the great reviews of authentic flavors, good service and portions. We must agree with what everyone else is saying, Ma Kin serves up delicious curries, eggplant, fried rice and very interesting and creative appetizers including one shrimp, pork and mushroom dumpling which the chef offered us a sample of. Thank you! They were delicious and looked as good as they tasted. Next time we are in the area we'd love to sit and explore more of the great looking menu, and confidently venture from curry and fried rice with the guidance of the friendly and skilled staff at Ma Kin.

Diner Review №71

I ordered from here three times and each time I wasn't disappointed well, the 3rd time I was a little disappointed because they were being cheap with the mangos 🥭 for the mango sticky rice which is delicious. I highly recommend it. I also had the pineapple fried rice, curry puff, and shrimp pad thai. The food is delicious.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Authentic and delicious thai food and great service

Diner Review №74

Came here for the first time 2 weeks ago with my cousin. Ma Kin Thai is the best thai place in the area! I ordered cashew nut with pork, while my cousin ordered red curry with crispy duck (it wasnt really spicy). Both meals were really good! Ma Kin Thai also has butterfly pea tea (which we also tried and it was delicious)! The portions for the price are amazing!

Fast forward to now, I ordered delivery through Uber Eats 2 days ago. I got red curry with duck because it looked really good when my cousin ordered it! Then my dad got Thai fried rice with beef. We also got Thai iced tea to drink. I wish Ma Kin Thai had butterfly pea tea on delivery apps! When I had dine in the restaurant was also very clean and had hand sanitizers on every table!

Diner Review №75

Did a pickup order here and man was it delicious. Curry puffs, spicy basil beef, pad Thai - all excellent. Authentic flavors and so fresh - with high end ingredients. Not to be missed.

Diner Review №76

Best Thai food I have had in New York

Diner Review №77

Cute place. Run by Thai people. Best Thai food I ever had. Makes me wanna visit Chang Mai. I wish they were closer to my home I'd be eating here all the time <3.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

First time eating Thai Food and I loved it. Great Service and a Vibe
Will be back

Diner Review №80

The food was great. Reminds of the authentic bangkok style.

Diner Review №81

Ordered my favorite Thai dish, shrimp pad Thai and coconut shrimp app. Worst pad Thai I’ve ever eaten. No flavor, dry, noodles clumped together, seemed old. my husband got very sick from the coconut shrimp. Very disappointed. Will never order again.

Diner Review №82

Nicely surprised how good the food was. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Quick service. Definitely will come back

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Curry Puffs are unbelievable, I would come back here again!

Diner Review №85

The curry puffs were great. The garlic entree is my favorite Thai dish around. Consistently good food.

Diner Review №86

The food is so damn good! And to top that off, the husband and wife who own the restaurant are extremely friendly and treat each customer with care. A hidden gem in Queens. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №87

If you want to feel like you're at home and being served love on a plate...then look no further than Ma Kin Thai. A family oriented environment with such personal touch and attention that I always enjoy returning.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

I’m in Brooklyn, but now I think I must make a trip to eat in or pick up. Northern Thai at its finest.

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

I ordered takeout from this place and I’ll never order from here again. My Pad See Ew was FULL of eggshells. It was disgusting. I pulled out more than 10 pieces of broken eggshells. Completely unacceptable. See the picture below for only some of the eggshell pieces I pulled out, there were plenty more. Gross.

Diner Review №92

I ordered spicy drunken noodle and pineapple fried rice and picked it up. The fried rice had no taste and the noodles was very dried and they put chicken and beef inside instead of beef only which I ordered :(

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

First time eating from here and I must say the food was delicious, and the employees were very courteous and welcoming. Thank you and all the best!

Diner Review №95

I was visiting NYC with a couple of friends from Singapore and we were craving for some Thai food. What made Ma Kin so extraordinary is the attention that they pay to the dishes they prepare. Every dish is so yummy and truly authentic. All the dishes are excellent and my personal fav would be the Nam Tok Soup with Pork. The Pad Thai is amazing as well. Great service, good food. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №96

謝謝情愛的老闆! 推薦!❤️

The best Thai food in nyc x super authentic, taste like Thailand. My partner doesn’t really like Thai food and he finished two dishes. Recommended!

Must try: pad Thai, fried rice, desert (sticky mango rice) and their “signature dishes on the menu”

Service amazing, cozy interior. Will come back for more!

Diner Review №97

Food was good. I would definitely order from here again.

Diner Review №98

Best Thai restaurant in the city 👌🏼👌🏼

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

I don't normally leave reviews after trying something for the first time but this was really good. Ordered the chicken pad Thai and Thai tea (basic, I know) and was initially disappointed when I saw I had ordered rice instead of noodles. But once I tried it, I couldn't stop eating. It was so good, I'd 100% recommend it. Only thing to keep in mind is that they are a bit over priced and do not use as much peanut sauce as other places. But the taste and freshness of the food makes it completely worth it in my opinion.

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

Best thai food I had. My shrimp pad thai is not as sweet as usual. Portion is large. The best Shrimp pad thai I ever had. My son finished his chicken pad thai where he usually don't finish his food. definitely my favorite pad thai place.

Diner Review №103

INCREDIBLE Thai cuisine!!! The owner and chef purposefully spent time with each table. Such an incredible experience and authentic options.

Diner Review №104

Saw the reviews and decided to try this place out. A bit disappointed, ordered a beef Pad Thai, "Thai spicy", ended up being more sweet than spicy and so oily that it spilled all over the bag. food was overpriced for what it was.

Diner Review №105

I will never order the food there anymore. I was waiting for delivery over 1h and they brought me just nudles NO CHICKEN Zero.

Diner Review №106

Such a great spot! The food is so very good and I have tried multiple dishes/items. My favorite is the thai fried rice and the fried banana with honey.

The staff is also so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend supporting this small business. Also, if you can, order directly from their website or by calling their phone instead of using delivery apps.

Diner Review №107

Surprisingly good Thai for the area. Enjoyed the roti with massaman curry which isn’t found at many Thai places. They also have a blue tea which tastes like Chrysanthemum tea. Refreshing and delicious on a summer night.

Diner Review №108

OK food.

Diner Review №109

Real Thai food prepared by real Thais! Everything we had was amazing. What sticks out was the Crispy Pork, which the staff let me know was homemade. Can't wait to try some more off the menu!

Diner Review №110

Thai Togo

Diner Review №111

Great food so tasty and flavorful and love the portion size. It was perfect for me and very kind waiters! 10/10

Diner Review №112

Such a cute place! The owners are sweethearts and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone who loves authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №113

Ordered delivery: spicy basil with beef, pad thai with chicken and green curry chicken.

Excellent quality and huge portion! Food is very fresh and taste like homemade. Price is very reasonable. Will order again!

Diner Review №114

Really tasty, perfect spice level. Friendly owners

Diner Review №115

Ordered the Mixed Seafood Drunken Noodles after seeing someone highly recommended it, and it still exceeded my expectations. It was excellent.

It’s hard to find a place that cooks seafood well. Every type of seafood in the dish was cooked perfectly! I say this as someone who grew up fishing & crabbing. The scallops in particular were incredible.

For dessert we tried the fried ice cream & coconut pudding, both were great. The coco pudding was actually hot/cooked- a total surprise for me, but damn, it was good! Teas and juices were also great, as were the staff.

We’ll be back….. I think the fried snapper is calling my name haha

Diner Review №116

I had mix seafood Thai fried rice. The Seafood was a little too under cooked and i wasn't going to risk getting sick. Also they were sold out of their salmon which was my first choice. The only plus side about this place was the waitress. she was really nice so i gave her a good tip.

Diner Review №117

My new go-to Thai place! Their delivery is always very quick and their food is packaged well. I’ve gotten their noodle soups, pad see ew, and other savory dishes and desserts and I’ve never been disappointed! Their lunch specials are a steal and they give you a decent amount for the price! They have vegetarian options as well! Definitely worth a try!

Diner Review №118

Amazing food!!

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Half of the food. You can see in the picture that the lid side is flat. Half of the portion! This is the second time this happens. $15 for half portion.

Diner Review №121

Some of the BEST food in NYC the service was fantastic they were super nice and the outdoor dining was absolutely great! The portions are terrific, it’s absolutely worth the trip!

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! The spicy basil with chicken was 👏🏾GOBSMACKING👏🏾. The service is 100% and they’re super friendly and efficient. The price is also a plus especially for the big sized portions you receive. Can’t wait till there’s a Brooklyn store so I don’t have to go all the way to Queens to spend all my money.🤩

Diner Review №124

Amazing food, service, and wait time. Get any dish on the menu and it’ll be worth it.

Diner Review №125

They have indoor and outdoor dining! We got the prik khing and the pad kee Mao, as well as a large Thai iced tea and a taro pudding and it was all super good. The waitresses are very nice and I'm definitely coming back one day! 😋

Diner Review №126

This is LITERALLY the best Thai place ever!!! The prices are reasonable, quick wait time, and the server was very kind and knowledgeable about the food. The large Thai iced tea was so big and we had to get two!!!

Diner Review №127

Very good

Diner Review №128

Omg this food is outstanding..

Diner Review №129

Very good food at reasonable prices. Excellent customer service.

Diner Review №130

Always awesome food, huge Thai dumpling portions and beef red curry is excellent.

Diner Review №131

A true mom and pop Thai restaurant with an impressive authentic menu for Northern Thai food! Food is delicious you'll want to order the whole menu. Small and intimate dinning experience made it all the more a VIP experience.

I refuse going elsewhere for my Thai fix.

Diner Review №132

I'm not sure if obsessed is the right word but it's what comes to mind with Ma Kin Thai. Their food is delicious. My go to is drunken noodles.. Try it. Their spring rolls and curry puffs are also addicting. Amazing customer service and well worth every penny. And, now I'm hungry..❤

Diner Review №133

Food are tasty and friendly service

Diner Review №134

We ordered spring rolls, curry puffs, chicken basil with spicy chicken fried rice. Will be ordering again soon. Food came fast, hot and delicious.

Diner Review №135

Great curry!

Diner Review №136

Very very good. Everything was very fresh. One of the best curries Ive ever had

I have an update: the Khao soi noodle soup is one of the best dishes I’ve had ever. Ingredients are extremely fresh and the flavor is out of this world!

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Ordered for delivery today. Fried rice was too much dry and can hardly find any chicken or shrimp inside. Asked to provide hot sauce but none given. Charged $5 for delivery and deliveryman was still looking for more tips.

Diner Review №139

Food is amazing. Portions are so generous. A true gem and welcome addition to Middle Village. Food is so fresh.

Diner Review №140

Diner Review №141

Amazing Red Curry, Thai steamed dumplings and very friendly staff. Will definitely be trying more on the menu.

Support local businesses!

Diner Review №142

Best Thai food around! Some restaurants have lost their touch during the pandemic but Ma Kin only gets better! From service, quality, and taste, this establishment is a gem to Metropolitan!

Diner Review №143

Hands down the best Thai food in town! They use the freshest ingredients and the taste is amazingly authentic. I can’t wait to try every single item on their menu. It’s my new go-to place for excellent homemade tasting Thai food!!

Diner Review №144

When I ordered this through seamless, the site did not give me any warnings that it was too far away and even Yelp said from my location it was 1.7 miles away... When our delivery guy showed up he was a bit miffed that he had to ride his manual bicycle for almost 3 miles to deliver. First off dude, you're delivering in Queens, who doesn't have a scooter or car these days to deliver?!

Regardless, our food came hot and well packaged. I appreciated that the store owner called and let us know that one of the items we had placed an order for was not available because they sold out for the day, yay, so he suggested a few items that we could switch it out for. I totally appreciate it the customer service!

Because of the COVID-19 quarantine, delivery was our only option :/ still the portions were huge and the price comparable to what I received. Curry puffs, chicken pad Thai, beef red curry, beef pad see ew, and the cheese and crab wontons all hit the right spot for this hungry crew. We will visit you in person soon!

Diner Review №145

Good food, reasonable prices
--------------
Updated 10/22/20: I've been ordering thai food from here and exploring different menu items. One thing for sure is that the lunch special is not worth it. For around $10, you get 2/3s the portion, one egg roll, soda or salad. The roti was extremely oily. Lesson learned.

Diner Review №146

Definitely one of the best Thai restaurants we've tried! Hands down!

The soups were really good but the Pad Thai Tasted BURNT. A really unpleasant flavor.. really disappointed

Great Authentic Thai food finally comes to Middle Village.
Spoiler alert: even tho the taste is good, the portion is quite small.
I ordered Crispy Pork Spicy Basil with extra meat ordered.
It turned out to be the same exact portion without the extra meat added for $5,-
They need to improve on this. No hard feeling, cheers

The best Thai food in the neighborhood. Yes they have the standards (pad thai, pad see ew are all good bets), but you can also find authentic dishes from the northern regions of Thailand for a really unique experience. The crispy duck was next level, the papaya salad was delish. The restaurant itself is small, but the outdoor seating they built makes for a great date night experience. You can really tell how passionate the owners are; from the love they put into the food, to the attentive service and customer engagement - they have a real love for the community. I can't recommend this place enough.

I usually don’t leave comment but I had too . I was working and I passed by this place saw the menu and order green curry chicken for my wife and I ordered Talapia fish lunch special . No words to describe how amazing that was . The spice and the sauce was just extraordinary amazing . Me and wife really enjoyed our food and I would definitely will recommend everyone to try from it . We usually eat out everyday in the afternoon . But this was special . Thank you so much .

Great food!

Diner Review №162

I’ve given the place about 3 chances and they truly disappointed me. Today I ordered 2 pad Thai and both were very wet/soupy and not tasty....must be a different chef on a Sunday. The first pad Thai I ordered on a weekday was very good. Last time I ordered the calamari and they were in Italian breading, not crispy and tasteless. The pad Kee maw noodles were super mushy and was not good. Thai fried rice was also under seasoned, really missed the mark. No more for me. Very pricey and appetizer portions are on the very small side.

Just got some curry puffs from here and they were good but very small and you only get 3 for $7....I was expecting at least 4 for that price especially given that their puffs are mostly potato. So definitely Manhattan prices (actually I've gotten 5 for $6 in Chelsea so idk why their prices are so high.) Good for 2 people but not larger groups, its a small place and kind of pricey for the portions.

Diner Review №181

I am very picky when it comes to Thai Food... and I’m not one to usually leave reviews but this place does it right! Very authentic taste, friendly service, great addition to the neighborhood. To those who know the best spots in NYC for Thai food, add this one to your list. Ma Kin is on the same level as my other favorite Thai spots in Elmhurst and Manhattan.

Absolutely fantastic. I'm a foodie. It's not just authentic. It's fresh, focused and careful. Oak is the Chef. Worth traveling to Middle Village. Who would have thought? I was working for a client. Had lunch at their soft opening last week. I've been back 3 times. It's exciting. Food with love.

Diner Review №183

OMG!!, why have i not left a review for this place before now? My husband and i just had the most amazing meal here. We shared the Calamari, Crab Rangoon, Nam Ngeaw, Stir fried Preserved eggs with crispy basil. The flavor was absolutely delicious. The Calamari was cooked just right and the Nam Ngeaw was the most perfect compliment to it. The crispy basil was not too spicy and so god damn good it should be illegel!!!

Diner Review №184

The best food this place

Diner Review №185

I have been here about 4-5 times since opening and let me tell you: the food NEVER DISSAPOINTS!!!! I’ve tried different things every single time I’ve been here and everything is so delicious and fresh! The staff is sweet and friendly! If this place closes, I dont know what I would do. I could eat this food every day! Highly recommend!
