Erawan Thai Cuisine

A great Thai restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food at reasonable prices. The highlight for us was how nice and welcoming every staff member was. I was pleasantly surprised by how much was included in the kids’ meal — it was such a great value! We especially loved the green curry; the flavor was perfectly balanced. We will definitely be coming back again.

When they said do not judge the book by its cover. This is how I feel about Erawan. We have just moved to the neighborhood and passed by this place. It looks like any other restaurants from the outside. But once we walked in, we got hit with the big smile and warm welcome from the host which is quite difficult to get these days. Most importantly the restaurant smells so good from the food to the point we have to order what the next table were having. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. We ordered their new lunch special item, braised pork over rice. It was so yummy and filling. The sauce that came with it was the bomb. They have the most affordable lunch special and its available everyday. The server also told us about the happy hour. Overall, 10/10 for Erawan. We got hooked. Definitely will return to try their drinks. And for those clean freak like me, their restroom is one of the clean ones I have seen in the restaurant. It smells as good as the seating area.

First time trying here and the dishes we ordered were delicious. We ordered the thai spare ribs for appetizer and it was exactly what I had in mind plus the sauce was good. for our mains I ordered the red curry, it was nice and serving was also big enough to share or to take home, the taste was good and it was not spicy which I appreciated and enjoyed. The other dish that we ordered was the pad see eiw, it was flavorful and noodles was cooked really well also enough to share. Will definitely come back here for the baby back ribs as it was highly recommended. As a treat we also got a free fried ice cream and it tasted delicious, crust was good.

The food is amazing!! The flavors are vibrant and warm. The servers are very attentive and accommodating. I definitely always feel taken care of when I come. This is for sure my regular spot perfect for a long cold day!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A new Bayside favorite! Erawan Thai blew us away. The ka nom jeeb and spareribs were unbelievably delicious and savory, and the Duck Krakow and Pad Talay were standout dishes—authentic, flavorful, and unlike anything we’ve had elsewhere. Every dish is delicious, well balanced, and not too spicy. The lychee martini was the perfect finishing touch craft cocktail. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is warm, attentive, and great at guiding you through the menu. Add in the cozy, festive atmosphere, and it’s the kind of place we walk out of already planning out next visit. We thought we were in Thailand :) This is our new favorite go-to Thai spot in Bayside/Queens!

We got the green curry and it was absolutely delicious. Spice level is on the higher side so if you can handle it, go for it but the service was immaculate and food top notch. Would recommend!

Absolutely love this place. The food is always delicious and full of flavor. It’s my go-to Thai spot and never disappoints. Plad Shee Shu (fish) and garlic rice is what I get everytime. My friend had Erawan steak. Dessert mango sticky rice. So good we got 2 sticky rices.

Erawan is my go to restaurant for excellent Thai. Perfect location off the LIRR and the staff is always welcoming. They make THE most perfect Tito's martini / slightly dirty and I am a big fan of their quail, the Banmee Talay, and their steak. Ordered the lobster and pork chops during the last visit and was it a stunner. Verin the owner and her team goes out of their way to deliver great service. I have also catered to my team and they were raving also. Will be back very soon. Lively atmosphere with reasonable prices and always leave room for dessert. The Thai Sticky Rice pudding is a must order to finish your meal. Very little wait time unless it is the weekend - reservation suggested.

I cannot believe after all these years that I have not known about this place. Shame on me. Food and service were phenomenal. Being an Asian person and having been to Thailand more than once, I do have higher expectations and the flavors were very reminiscent of my food experience in Thailand. I highly recommend. Will plan on coming back every time I'm back in Bayside. khàwp-khun khâ Ti and Kat!!

The food at this restaurant is next level. We had the drunken noodles...very flavorful and saucy...just the way we like it. We had the grilled branzino. My husband enjoyed it so much. The owner was very hospitable she came over and made sure everything was great. The customer service is phenomenal!! My family and I will definitely be back.

A woman of my word and I am back. We arrived before the crowd to experience the happy hour. We chose our seating. We kicked off with appetizers, portions for each item were enough to share with three.. Fried shrimp rolls, soft shell crab rolls, chicken satay and lobster triangles. Pineapple fried rice sans sausage as my partner is not eating pork. Light jazz set the mood and two tvs at the bar tuned into different stations. Dessert options were presented by the owner. I opted for fried ice cream and my partner the mango sticky rice. Outstanding!

We made reservations at this Thai place on Bell Boulevard. We greeted and sat right away. They had several specials on the menu, but we went with the drunken noodles, the baby back ribs, and the mango sticky rice We started with the baby back ribs, which were excellent. We fought over the last one. We also got dumplings, which were outstanding. For the main course, I got lobster pad thai, which was very flavorful and had lots of vegetables. The order was so big. I ended up taking some home. We shared a mango sticky rice. It was more than enough for two, plenty of mango, and it tasted wonderful. We will be back

I called Erawan Thai Cuisine this afternoon to ask about my food allergies. My dad and I decided to have lunch there. The restaurant was less than a 40-minute walk. The ambiance felt cozy and inviting, especially with the beautiful Buddha statue. Daily Happy Hour | 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM Pomegranate Martini I took my first sip on an empty stomach because I couldn't resist the sexy cocktail. Crispy Salmon Salad This salad was delicious, with bite-sized crispy salmon, green apples, onions, and more. Thai Crispy Chicken Mmm, I dipped the Thai Crispy Chicken into the yummy, sweet chili sauce. Daily Lunch Specials | 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Seafood Fried Rice + House Soup I couldn't stop eating the Seafood Fried Rice because it tasted scrumptious. I wasn't a fan of the bland House Soup. Bookmark this spot to try!

3.5 stars for take out service... Just attended the Yelp Elite event not long ago so it prompted me to order take out from them. Pad Thai was the mission as was the chicken satay. This experience was not like the restaurant (dine in). Sadly my chicken satay was super dry! Disappointed. And the Pad Thai I ordered was with shrimp - shrimp was fine but the noodles lacked in flavor. I think I will stick to dine -in. Better quality eats when you're there in person. Totally a good restaurant and I'll return but not for delivery. My in-person dining experience was a five star review!

My last visit here was amazing as I attended a Black/Gold Yelp Elite event. I was so impressed that I had to bring my wife so she can experience this incredible food and wonderful hospitality for herself; from the moment we walked in, the experience was flawless, and a huge part of that was due to the exceptional service from our server, Hui. Hui is an absolute gem. She was incredibly attentive, warm, and had a fantastic knowledge of the menu. Now, for the food, which was equally impressive. We started with the Pad Sea Eiw with chicken. This is a dish I often order when I have Thai food, Erawan's version is now my gold standard. The flat rice noodles were incredibly fresh and had that perfect, slight chew and smoky "wok hei" flavor. The chicken was succulent and cooked perfectly. We also tried the Pad Kraprow with Pork, and it was a flavor explosion. The pork was not minced, but sliced and beautifully seasoned and stir-fried with fresh basil and chilies, creating an aromatic and savory dish that was both comforting and exciting. It had just the right amount of heat. The fried egg is an extra charge, but you have to order it as it brought everything together. For dessert the fried ice cream is a must. The thai fried chicken appetizer was the only dish that was average IMHO. Great specials on lunch and happy hour. Definitely a must go to spot!

Hell. Yes. I beg anyone to please try the PLA SHU SHEE this was the most gas fish I've ever had in NY. Trust.

Love coming here on a Friday night after work. Staff is friendly and accommodating and if you get a chance definitely get the Shrimp And Scallop Rolls, the sauce is next level! The vibe is pretty low key and if you wanted to have a relaxing restaurant and bar experience this is the place!

I hadn't been here since before the new owner and redecorations. The owner and the staff are all friendly and attentive. It is a large and beautifully decorated space. Erawan Thai Cuisine is conveniently located on Bell Blvd, close to the Bayside LIRR station. One of my favorite things is when a Thai restaurant provides the assortment of hot sauces/chili powders/hot peppers. Another is Thai salad with peanut dressing and tofu. The lychee martini was so delicious! Not too sweet but. The baby back ribs had a deliciously unique sweet and tangy tamarind sauce. I definitely want to come back.

Sooo good! Very unique food. Had the best time with such a friendly environment. Highly recommend and bring your friends :)

We randomly chose this restaurant for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. They have lunch specials on weekends so that's a good bargain. They were friendly and attentive. Inside was spacious and decorated with many Thai elements as well as Halloween decorations for the season. I got the Gai Sum See (chicken, shrimp, squid). It had plenty of chicken, squid and shrimp. The squid was so tender. The sauce was a little salty but with the fried rice it cut the saltiness. My husband got yellow curry beef. He thought it was flavorful and liked it.

We were inspired to try Erawan Thai after not getting into a recent Yelp Elite event held here. We stopped by on a weekend for dinner and were surprised by how elegant the interior looked considering how casual/plain the exterior was. We ordered the Pla Sum Rod (Crispy whole fish) & Petd Shu-Shee (crispy half duck with red curry). Both dishes filled up our tiny table and were both great. Our favorite was the crispy fish, which had an addicting sweet and sour sauce. We devoured the whole fish as most bones were soft enough to chew. The duck curry was a bit disappointing as the sauce was not as rich or flavorful as we'd like. The duck was cooked well but the skin was not very crispy. Overall we had a great meal at Erawan and would love to come back to try their specials or other crispy fish options.

Excellent food. I have been going to this restaurant for more than 10 years. Always great food, awesome service. Staff and owner are professional and friendly. They also have an excellent app to order food for take out.

A gem in the neighborhood that has been renovated with a new food menu. Everything is made with care and extremely tasty. Spice levels are in check and you can easily add heat to your liking with their carousel of spices. Cocktail options a plenty. You wont be disappointed by the Pad Thai, Green Curry, or any of the appetizers. Make sure to order more to take home so you can enjoy the food the next day too. Definitely plan to visit often.

This place was a great find! Bayside doesn't have much Thai but this place delivers. The green curry has a little sweetness with some good ingredients. The pad Thai has great flavor and is loaded with proteins. The Thai ribs were pretty good falling off the bone, with a decent sauce. Bartender knows what's up and there is a great vibe! The fried ice cream was so cool lit on

After not getting into the black and gold badge event yelp had for this event, I decided to go and try this place on my own since its location was convenient to where I'm. Always walked by this place i had no idea how nice the interior would look, especially since the exterior did not match and always looked a bit rundown giving me the impression that this was your typical no substance bell boulevard restaurant, but I was proven wrong that day. Ordered the duck curry and the fried fish with the combo sweet, spicy savory sauce. Duck curry was average to underwhelming, the duck wasnt as crispy as I would have liked and the sauce had way too much coconut milk and lacked flavor since the coconut milk drowned out any spices the curry would have bought with it. The fried fish was the star as the fish was incredibly crispy and fried to perfection, while the insides were still delicate and flakey and the sauce that the fish came with paired perfectly. I would Come back to this place to try other items on the menu, I only wish I knew about the place sooner so I could come here every now and then when in the mood for Thai food at an easy to access location

I have been to this restaurant a few times in the past and I will just be reviewing it now. The indoor of the establishment has a traditional Thai, festive and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant has a welcoming ambiance, the aroma of the food being served is very enticing, dining area is visually pleasant. In the few times that I have been here, the place is always packed with costumers so it is a good idea to have reservations. Table setting is casual, utensils are clean and properly placed. They offer generous food portions, food price is fair and they give great value on lunch specials basing on their menu. I have noted that staff members are inviting, pleasant, sweet and very attentive. Food quality was really good, it taste fresh, flavorful, delicious and still hot when served. I specially love their Kaeng kiew warn and always pair it with steamed rice. Staff are helpful on accomodating special request. My wife and I always had a pleasant food experience at this joint and this is one of the places that is definitely recommendable.

Been here before. Returned this V day and was not disappointed for our visit. Glad that we made a call reservation as it was packed when we walked in. Decoration is festive. Ambiance is traditional . Service is fast. Our wait staff is pleasant and efficient. Food is good , tasted very homey. Serving amount is plenty for the pricing. We were not rushed to enjoy our dining experience even we saw lots of walk in's . Pleasant dining.

To another 35 years! ... Felt like a party at Erawan tonight, smiles on all faces, laughter and happy conversations in the air. The elegant renovations recently made have opened up the space, which manages to feel intimate, classy and fun. While the environment is lively, you don't have to strain to hear the people around you. As always the food is fresh and delicious. We opted for a couple of cocktails with a few shared appetizers, and were generously offered dessert on the house. The always special shrimp and scallop rolls, dumplings and papaya salad were just enough that an entree would have been too much. The Thai brownie, baked in-house, warm and soooo rich, with ice cream and whipped cream was like a celebration. $100 including tax and a generous tip - worth every penny. If you pay cash they offer a 5% discount. Love Erawan - such a wonderful gift to Bayside. Thank you. Here's to another 35 years!!!

I had a great lunch here. Service was great, they attended me promptly upon my arrival and made sure to check in on me occasionally. It was the last day before renovations, there was a sign on the door stating they would be closed for a few days so i didn't mind the ambiance. Can't wait to go back.

I've been to this restaurant several times, and all of the dishes that I've tried were very good, from the Thai spring rolls, to the shrimp and pork wonton soup, and the fried rice. They have a good menu selection, and it would be good to go back and try the other dishes that they have. It's good to know that based on my experience, they should all be good :-)

First time at this beautiful restaurant and from the moment I walked into Erawan Thai Cuisine, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, but it's the food and service that truly elevate the experience to another level. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, authentic, and well presented. A special mention goes to Madi, whose outstanding service made the evening exceptional. She was attentive, gracious, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring everything was perfect. The rest of the team was equally friendly and attentive, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting. Their Happy Hour is truly a gem, great selections & GREAT VALUE. It was another wonderful way to sample more of what they offer. And the cocktails? Simply delicious. We ordered lychee Martinis and their house Chardonnay. I wholeheartedly recommend this Thai restaurant to anyone looking for top-tier food, superb service, and an overall memorable dining experience. It's a must-try place. I will definitely be returning. Thank you everyone! Five stars, well deserved.

This restaurant absolutely blew me away! Every single dish my family and I enjoyed did not miss! All the dishes were so great, but the Thai Spare Ribs were my favorite. Also got their stuffed lobster pad thai, pad khing, fried rice and duck, which were all so savory without being heavy or greasy. You could really tell they care about quality ingredients and balance in flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the incredible service. They were exceptionally attentive and very kind. Overall, it was such a memorable experience and can't wait to go back!

The food is always fresh & delicious, served by a friendly and courteous staff. The decor is tastefully done and the space is warmly lit. Weekday lunches are a great bargain, with many choices under $15. It includes soup or salad plus entree. Their drink menu is excellent with both happy hour specials as well as more exotic cocktails, all under $15 each. We heartily recommend their moo ping (pork on a stick), chicken satay , pad krapow (spicy sliced pork, chicken or beef & vegetables) (all served with rice) and their various curries. The pork dumpling appetizer was also excellent (and only $5 during lunch specials!). We've had dinner here on several occasions as well, and have always left happy with the experience. This is a wonderful neighborhood gem, and easily the best Thai restaurant in Bayside!

I have eaten in and gotten takeout over ten times now.. only one time was a disappointment. The rest have been really good. The food is better when you dine in, imo.

Nice friendly staff and good options. Massaman curry with tofu was delicious and the Pad Thai has a nice thick sauce.

Very good service and delicious thai food beautiful restaurant. nice place Viran . excellent manager.

Always passed by this place but finally got to visit! Overall experience was great. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted and felt so welcome. I ordered the beef pad see ew and it was so tasty! They even threw in fried ice cream on the house since it was our first time dining. Loved this place and will def be back!

This place is amazing. It's like cheers. Everyone knows your name the food the vibe the people everything is stellar. If you haven't been here it's a must try.

Erawan Thai Cuisine is one of the best Thai restaurants that I have tried in Bayside. Not only is it delicious every time but the staff is incredibly kind and fast with their service. The restaurant is always clean with light music playing. I frequent this restaurant, and it's one of my comfort spots. Nothing is truly better than their Pad Thai which is always made perfectly and hits the spot every time. My favorite thing to do is grab an order of their vegetable spring rolls (a fried long spring roll filled with delicious veggies and paired with a sweet chili sauce) and an order of the Jeeb Pu (small crab dumplings steamed and paired with a soy vinaigrette). Another thing I love to grab a side of is the garlic fried rice. It is perfectly powerful with garlic and is cooked to perfection every time. These items with a Thai iced tea can never do you wrong and are my go-to order every time I go with my best friend. I highly recommend Erawan to anyone looking for good Thai food in Bayside. v

Erawan is my go to restaurant for excellent Thai. Perfect location off the LIRR and the staff is always welcoming.

This restaurant has always held a special place for me, and my recent visits reminded me why. The new management has done an outstanding job breathing fresh life into space while respecting its connection to its roots. Modern touches, a warm atmosphere, and a vibe that feels both inviting and true to its cultural background. Their dedication to creating the best dining experience is evident in every detail, from the decor to the attentive service. And then there's the food, it's simply exceptional. Authentic Thai flavors are never compromised, and that's what makes every dish so delicious. The menu is full of choices, and for someone like me who loves seafood, I can't help but talk about the Pla Sum Rod, the savory Lobster Pad Thai, and the Talay Thai, just to mention a few. Every dish is prepared with care and will leave you wanting more. Pair that with their very well stocked cozy bar, and you have a perfect setting for any occasion. It was definitely an experience worth coming back for and I will certainly make this spot regular for dining out again.

Erawan is your restaurant destination! if you are looking for great food, ambience, food, smiles, music, affordable service, and convenient location, this is the place for you!

I had a great meal here recently with a friend. It's a very relaxing place with friendly/helpful servers. I had the mixed satay, Tom Kha soup with shrimp, and Thai iced tea. All very good. The place is also very clean and has a bar available if you want watch tv or have a drink. Nice spot for a date too.

Erawan Thai is fantastic and I can see why it's been around for quite some time. Do take note that some items are a lot better than others, albeit everything is subjective depending on the person of course. My friend and I got the ribs which were absolutely fantastic and some of the best ribs I've had. Make sure to use that wet wipe- you will need it! For my main dish I got the koong gai sub which is a noodle dish with ground chicken and shrimp and a lot of basil leaves and bell peppers. It was great and the portion was more than adequate but if I were to order it next time I would ask them to hold off on the excessive amount of onions. All in all, this is a solid Thai spot and I can see why it's been around for years.

Go-to Thai spot in the area! Love the crispy pork, crispy salmon salad, and tom yum soup. Quality of ingredients is perfect and the service is excellent! Always well taken care of when sitting in.

Excellent. Erawan is the best Thai restaurant that I have ever been to. The food is superb. My favorite meal is the red curry tofu with peppers, etc. and it comes with a delicious coconut milk sauce. You can order it with white or brown rice (which has some vegetables mixed in it). The green salad is always very fresh with tomatoes, strips of carrots and a tangy carrot sauce. Green tea ice cream is refreshing at the end of my meal. The owners and staff are very nice, attentive and professional. The decor is lovely...it's like you are in Thailand. The interior is uplifting with light egg blue and copper/brown painted walls, tapestry and art, a big wooden elephant statue is by the front door, etc.. I highly recommend Erawan restaurant in Bayside.

Excellent food!! Service was extremely fast and the food was super authentic! Only wished that the restaurant wasn't so loud, but I totally recommend the Pad Sea-Eiw and Kaeng Ped, both tasted amazing!

Recently moved to Bell Blvd and trying all these places but Erawan stole my heart. I went on a weekday night with my Mom and we ordered the curry puffs, green curry, pad sea eiw. The curry puffs were so light and fluffy, it came with a sauce I have no idea what it was made of but absolutely delicious! The green curry was perfectly spicy and warming. The pad sea eiw noodles are definitely a new fave:) I'm so glad we stumbled in and took a chance. The staff was incredibly hospitable and super sweet. Then came to our table and we had the nicest chats! This is def my new favorite Thai place

The food it excellent--this is my folks' fav Queens Thai spot and in my top 2. Top 1 when Eric is bartending. His spectacular drinks have saved my marriage on more than one occasion...

If your looking for a beautiful good food and drinks restaurant in bayside or queens ..... look no further. This place is absolutely wonderful. The owners and staff are amazing. Food outstanding. Service great. So pissed I moved from the area. However anytime I meet my besties. This is the place to go. Ps the erawan steak with their side sauce is to die for. I have not found the steak sauce at any other Thai Restaurant.

Excellent food. I finished everything so quick. The service was also just as good. I love the community. The restaurant looks so good too. I will most definitely come again.

Terrible food. Everything tasted the same, we ordered some chicken with lemongrass but no lemongrass flavor nor lemongrass was found. The food was also very salty. Place is really loud. This is more like a pub to hang out with friends rather than to eat.

The food was okay. It's never that busy whenever we get take out and one time, the chicken with basil tasted funny. :(

Picked up takeout from this spot. While they do have the more well known dishes (in America) like Thai curries, pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice, I love stepping out of my comfort zone and trying some more traditional dishes when restaurants offer them. I got the Curry Puffs, Yum Petd, and Pla Laard Preeg. All of the dishes were delicious, and the chili sauce that comes with the fish would be amazing on absolutely anything! I know not everyone loves a whole fish since there are all the bones, but I grew up eating them whole steamed, so I'm used to it. Give it a try, especially if it's fried like this, the meat comes away easily from the bones, and you can just mix it with rice to eat with the sauce. The duck was also super yummy, and a nice balance of flavors with sweet pineapple, crunchy cashew, tangy red onion, and spice from the chili. Small parking lot in the back and then there's street parking as well.

Visited for lunch. There are plenty of parking spaces on the back of the building. If not, there are many street parking (metered and non-metered). There is e-car charge not too far from this restaurant (street access). I loved the interior and atmosphere of this restaurant. There are so many greens inside of this restaurant. I loved all the decorations and plants. Very classical atmosphere. Music was not too loud. It was the perfect spot for a quiet lunch. I ordered drunken noodle, pad kee mao. Lunch, it comes with either mushroom soup or salad. They were both great. Pad kee mao was chewy, richy and flavorful. The portion was a little small for 31 years old average size dude. I wished the portion was bigger. Staff were very kind. They don't force you to "hurry up" with the order. Servers were very helpful in explaining the menu and providing services without interrupting too much. I really loved the service! Overall, i really recommend this restaurant to visit with family or colleagues.

The staff are we are friendly. Food is very delicious. The parking is not difficult to find there's a meter on the street right across the Bayside Long Island railway.
