Baht

"Baht in Jackson Heights, Queens, is a culinary gem that never disappoints! The Thai Arnold Palmer is a refreshing delight, perfectly complementing their succulent chicken wings. And don't miss out on their mouthwatering Pad Thai and flavorful skirt steak entree. A definite must-visit for Thai cuisine lovers!"

As a local, one of my favorite parts of Jackson Heights is being able to try dishes from around the world and I’m glad I can get a taste of Thai right in neighborhood. Came for take-out to try the OG Pad Thai with Shrimp and a Thai Iced Tea. Very tasty and authentic. Beautiful restaurant too! Can’t wait to dine in soon to try their other dishes!

Stop by if you’re craving Thai food with a local vibe. There are tons of other authentic Thai restaurants in Queens, but if you’d like a contemporary take on Thai, paired with a brilliantly inspired, and well crafted drinks menu, give Baht a try. The larb wings and green jacket are a must try! Gotta check it out, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Meal was very delicious! This place recently opened up under new management and I was very excited to see it make a comeback. The menu is different, as well as the layout of the place which looks to be going for a simplistic & elegant style. The portion for the rice was bit small for the price ($16) but nonetheless it was still really good. The thai tea has an oatmilk base was really interesting (usually its whole milk) but i liked it! tasted very light. I’ll definitely be coming back as (arunee thai) was a place I enjoyed eating for such a long time. (4.5/5)

I came here with my friends for dinner and that was so amazing fusion Thai foods. Plus the staffs were so nice and service-minded. Overall I love the vibes of restaurant, relaxing and enjoying.

Pad Thai was sub par. Noodles were overcooked and they were the wrong type of noodles - more broad, usually the ones used for pad see ew. 15+ for the dish but they also charge 1 dollar for chilli flakes (which are usually free). Prices are very high for the neighborhood as well. Plus is the service. The man serving me was very kind and attentive.

If you around the area or even want to take out : THIS IS the spot! Food here never disappoints and is always cooked to perfection. I’ve dined in this location a bunch of times before where the vibes are great, music selection is amazing and service is phenomenal by Bryant and other waiters. If you never tried Thai food before let this restaurant guide you into a world that you have yet to discover, with rich dishes you will even be having your parents/friends wanting to try.

Fancy Thai food! Panang Pla (salmon fillet, basil, coconut milk, curry, green beans, red bell pepper, jasmine rice) was delicious!

The food is delicious! Service is on point, they know their menu and know how to pair the drinks and with the food.

I've been to Baht a few times now and I'm consistently delighted that it's come to the neighborhood. I tend to frequent lots of the Thai restaurants on Woodside Avenue (Little Thailand) where there's a high concentration of them, but it's also nice to have this Jackson Heights option with a fantastic happy hour. Initially reading about how Baht's drink menu was co-conceived with a Death & Co bartender is what made me want to visit, and indeed, we've now tried the entire cocktail list across our visits and have been impressed. They are all well-balanced, made with high quality ingredients, presented nicely, and provide much more sophisticated options than truly any of the other Thai restaurants in the area (sorry!). If you like sweet drinks, this is not the drinks menu for you, but if you're into cocktails, this is absolutely your jam. The Rupert is a coconutty drink unlike any of the gloopy cloying coconut drinks you may have had in the past and is instead light, refreshing, and interesting, and the Green Jacket is a tried and true that at least one of us has ordered every time we've come here. I'm not usually an espresso martini girlie but the Olieng is made really superb with their blueberry vodka (sounds weird, just try it!!). Remarkably, they offer happy hour on the weekends around lunchtime (genius) and all day on Tuesdays. I've had the empanadas a few times and they are fun, and what I am excited to order again and have been craving is Baht's crab fried rice, the Khao Pad Poo. Wow, the amount of lump crab on top and the great balance of flavors, accentuated by the nam jim sauce (they call it Thai chimichurri but IMO it's even more delicious than chimichurri) is making me hungry just writing this. The bartender who is usually working here is SUPER friendly, kind, and attentive and makes excellent drinks, and I have found the service to be exceptional. Bathroom is spacious and has beautiful penny floor tiles, and the space overall has a nice airy feel. There's a private room that seems fairly large and would be nice for a larger group, and I'm excited to return regularly here and continue re-ordering the Khao Pad Poo!

Cuisine: 4 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 4 Overall: 4 Not sure what I'm missing since everyone seems to love this place, but this is not a good replacement for Arunee, which I enjoyed. I know they have family ties, but the food no longer resemble anything I am familiar with from the old regime. On top of that, there seems to be a strong emphasis on cocktails, which I heard were excellent, but not my thing. Also, the prices here are definitely higher than all the Thai restaurants nearby in Woodside or Elmhurst. Though pricier, I don't mind if I get a superior product. Unfortunately, my main problem with the restaurant is the food itself. You can tell right away from the menu that the cuisine here is not necessarily completely traditional. Dead giveaways are items like empanadas and avocado aioli dip. However, good is good, and some changes to me are welcomed if done properly. Anyway, two of us ordered Fish Fritters to start and found it very different than what we expected. Instead of fluffy fish cakes like everywhere else, it was more like a potato croquette with a hint of fish flavor inside. My friend said she did not taste any fish, but still liked it regardless. Paired with the avocado aioli dip, it actually was our favorite item from lunch. Nothing I must have again, but somewhat enjoyable. What was truly underwhelming for us was the two traditional entrees we shared. Their version of Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) was way too vinegary and lacked any other flavor. Where is the saltiness from soy, the spicy kick from chilis, or refreshing bitterness from the Thai holy basil? All basically missing, along with the wok hei. Similar issues with the Krapow, with the exception of more basil. More of an issue for me was the lack of a single Thai bird's eye chili when I asked for extra spicy, like in Thailand. Instead, we received a wetter version devoid of the intense flavors of what the dish should be. Maybe I'm being harsh and should try more dishes before making an assessment, which I often do by not reviewing restaurants until multiple visits. However, I just can't imagine the chef making other Thai dishes well after tasting the current offerings. Is the food edible? Sure! If you never had Thai food, will you enjoy it? Probably. However, enjoying good Thai cuisine in NYC and overseas for decades, I am unlikely to ever come back.

Love this new restaurant! Its previous iteration, Arunee Thai, was a long-time mainstay in the neighborhood, and today I learned, it had been run by the parents of today's proprietors. I like that the next generation is carrying on the family business and putting their own modern twist and flavors on Thai food. We came in for a lunch date (Baht opens at 12pm) and ordered the chicken kee mao lunch special which came with a house salad. We also ordered the spring roll appetizer (3 medium-sized fried spring rolls), and I ordered the Salmon Pla (penang curry which was absolutely delicious). I enjoyed a Thai iced tea (made with oat milk and syrup) and requested that not a lot of syrup be made. All in all, I am so glad a Thai spot is back on 37th Avenue and thoroughly enjoyed the taste of my dishes. We will be back!

Num num num!!!! Hellooooo! Don't sleep on this place. Our server (also the bartender) was super attentive, sweet, informative, friendly as was one of the owners (Quin). They're chill, funny, and hospitable. The space is clean, well laid out, simple yet cozy design. I love the fact there's a bar with a nice counter (rare in this area) that you can chill at. The drinks were delicious! The f'n crab fried rice SLAPS! The fish balls are not to be missed. I mean for real, I can't wait to try all the things here. Go! Do it!!!!!!

Have been here three times in the past two weeks, and the food and drinks are so consistently good. I always get the Kee Mao, but I've had bites of pad Thai and See Eiw, all good! The empanadas are also very tasty, love the aioli they pair it with. My favorite drink is the Green Jacket and The Rupert. I can't wait to come by during one of their happy hours.

Ate here by myself for dinner trying this place out in my neighborhood. I had ordered, tried and brought the shumai as a starter, kao moo dang as an entree and mango sticky rice for dessert. The food there was good and not bad at all. The service there was also attentive and friendly that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose and eat for the first time. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

Inventive and tasty take on Thai food. They knocked it out of the park. They could win the game if they continue innovating without losing the taste

I had the pleasure of eating a nice lunch at Baht yesterday. I asked my waiter if it was basically Arunee Thai but under a different name. He told me the former owners have now retired and their children have taken it over under a new name. But, they kept the same chef. So if you loved the food at Arunee Thai you will also love Baht. My lovely and attentive waiter said that it is now their take on a new modern Thai cuisine. Whatever they're doing the food is great! I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp and Chicken Satay for a starter. The peanut sauce on the Chicken Satay could be thicker and more flavorful, but other than that my meal was delicious.

Loved the two cocktails I had and I got the crab dish both times. Very good. I also had the mango salad with a friend and we both consumed every bit of it. Happy to have Baht in the neighborhood!

My husband and I checked out this new Thai restaurant for dinner and it was great! The dumplings were excellent as was the mango salad. We also had Pad Thai with shrimp and the Chinese broccoli. Everything was top notch - fresh, flavorful, not greasy or too salty. The restaurant has good vibes and the staff were lovely. We were able to just walk in on a Saturday night, but I suspect that's not going to be the case for long once the word gets out. This place is a very welcome addition to Jackson Heights.
