We're regulars at Black Thai, whether for takeout or dining in. Last time, we enjoyed a lovely meal with my mama and husbancito. The Black Thai salad was fresh and vibrant, just the right balance of spicy and tangy. We also had the shrimp fried rice, which always hits the spot. And you can't go wrong with the red curry with chicken. Nor can I forget the chicken fried rice - it's comfort food with a kick. The cozy ambiance and attentive service adds to the experience, making it perfect for a family dinner. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to!

I live near here and should totally be going more often. I mostly come here for their thai tea, which is amazing!! It's not a powdered one, it's fresh I've also tried their crab rangoons and they're sooo good! Soft filling, great crunch! I wish that for $10, there was more than 4, but I get that crab is expensive, so it's okay! Definitely recommend the rangoons if you're looking to treat yourself! The service is great too. When I go, it's usually the same guy and he's very sweet and friendly. The decor around the restaurant is unique and calming to me, love the lighting! I recommend this place

Beautiful cozy dining space. Unique decor is a must see! Quick friendly service and generous portions. Love the Shrimp Pad Thai, had to order another! Also enjoyed the Green Curry Chicken, Papaya Salad and Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli. Perfect with Thai Iced Tea. Recommended!

Always one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the neighborhood, though sometimes their food is a little bit too salty, but overall the food is really good! However, the service needs to be improved. I came on a Saturday. The waitress was very friendly and polite. I went again today (a Thursday), it was already a few weeks later, a different waitress in glasses was there but she was not friendly and she was rude. I went there alone both times, and it was not rush hour. On that Saturday, I chose to sit at a 4-seat table near the register. The friendly waitress didn't stop me because it was not busy and there were many empty tables. While today when I went, it was not busy as well (after 2:30PM), I again chose to sit at a 4-seat table. The waitress in glasses was not happy and she made sure I came alone and asked me to sit at a 2-seat table. If it is busy, sure I will sit at a less seat table. Why can't I choose where to sit? And I saw the way she served the other customers, she was rude and unprofessional! The people at the other table wanted to place another order to go, and she thought they wanted the check. So she got them the check instead. Then one of the ladies told her that they actually wanted to order a new dish to go. Those people are not fluent in English, and this waitress was blaming them for not making it clear enough and she was saying they were confusing her. I was like, "Seriously? What kind of service is that??" Honestly, she just hates her job. I hope the management can look into the matter. The food is undoubtedly incredible, but the quality of service depends on who is on duty.. if the management doesn't train their staff well, it's not going to make good business.

Much like Little Cesar's, it's hot and it's ready. Is it good? Sometimes. Anyone in the Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Woodside area knows there's no lack of Thai places available to us. Each one is a little different and has something to offer. The thing i value most about Black Thai is that there are amazingly fast. Like weird fast. Like, how did you get that done so fast, fast. That doesn't mean it's bad though. Black Thai is incredibly valuable when you've been running around all day and need something RIGHT NOW cause you let the day get away from you. This is the scenario I most often am in when I order from here. I know that at worst, the food will be ok, but often, it's actually incredibly good. While I value consistency in restaurants, I also appreciate that I'll never have a bad meal from here. Their pad thai and pad see ew are my go-to's. My move is to call, order, then immediately put my shoes on and start walking there, cause I know by the time I get there, it'll be ready for me. I love Black Thai and it's helped me sooo many times when I've been in a bind fighting with the monster that is hangry-ness.

Ate here today before work for lunch by myself. I had brought and ate the crab rangoon and spicy fried rice with crispy pork. It was pretty good and delicious. The service there was also friendly, and attentive that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose something to try for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

Delicious meal. Date night vibes. Great for the whole family. I believe the ambience says it all Dark, seductive, intimate. It's got tasty variety in all aspects, vegan, meat heavy, and noodlely. I love it!

I ordered from Black Thai on Thanksgiving, as my dinner plans fell through. I was happy to see that they were open on the holiday! The food was delivered in a reasonable timeframe, which I really appreciated. I ordered the Massaman curry with chicken and requested for it to be spicy. The spicy level was great, but the curry itself was a bit lackluster. It didn't have that creamy curry consistency that I usually enjoy. The drunken noodle was delicious and had just the right flavor. The portion was also pretty generous. I forgot to take a picture, but I also got the Thai iced tea, which was really refreshing and complemented the spicy curry. I think there is better Thai food out there, but if you're looking for some noodles, this is a great delivery option.
