Kam Rai Thai delivers an exceptional dining experience that truly showcases the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine. During our recent visit, we sampled a variety of dishes, each offering a unique taste profile that left a lasting impression. Overall, Kam Rai Thai is a feast for the senses, with each dish telling a story of culture and tradition. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore authentic Thai flavors.

We came here with a party of 10 for a birthday party and the food was amazing! We had a couple of vegetarians with us and the staff was accommodating. Out of all the dishes we ordered the stand out was the Kao Soi - it was the best we have had it at any Thai restaurant! The mock duck was also incredible… flavorful, tender and rich. Our favorite cocktail was the lychee martini We’ll definitely be back!

Despite looking from outside as a very small and rather not really noticeable place, the place has a very creative menu and one of the best Thai foods I have ever tried. The appetizers, the duck, the steak, and their specialty pork ribs were delicious. Moreover, even their vegetable fried rice was simply delicious! The place isn't that big and despite being on the major street, is very popular, so reservation is recommended. The only complaint I have is their service, I had to ask 3 times to get a missing plate to the table.

An unassuming Thai restaurant that holds so many Thai options. They offer Thai food specializing from different regions so it was really difficult to choose an option! I believe i went with their special coconut curry noodles and it was delectable. Comes with a bone marrow and it was so flavorful. I would def come back to try the other foods.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would! I am eternally grateful anytime I am able to eat in what feels like a chefs home, that sitting down feels like a hug from the chef themself. Kam Rai Thai is unique, creative and immersive as can be. Family owned and operated by head Chef Oak, I am humbled by his ambitions, talents and creativity. Cuisine inspired by all 4 regions of Thailand, Chef Oak combines techniques of cooking from other cultures to create Thai dishes. “Taste is subjective and what l’ve tried to cook now is merely contemporary tastes of varied dishes from every part of Thailand.” - @chefoak.marprasert 🙏 Each drink & dish is inspired by a various region⛰️✨ ✨ Korat Eggnog ✨ Fang Martini Time We got to indulge, experience & learn about dishes such as: ✨Ayutthaya Boat Noodle Nuea✨ Beef shank, bean sprout, basil, and meatball in beef blood soup. Although my pallet is not quite ready for such cuts of meat, the broth was comforting, sweet & very much like the season. Rich enjoyed every single slurp & said it was something he would absolutely eat again. He loves different cuts of meat paired with comforting broths, this was perfect for him. ✨Khao Soi Gai Confit✨ Chicken confit served with Northern Thai styled curry soup, red onion, cilantro, dried chili oil, & pickled cabbage. ✨Luk Chin Ping✨ Grilled meatballs served with Sam rod sauce. ✨Chiangmai Sausage✨ Sai ua or Northern Thai sausage is a grilled pork sausage from Northern Thailand. Chef and his wife are so humble, kind and welcoming. I truly enjoyed every moment of being at Kam Rai Thai. I highly recommend and encourage you check them out for yourself!

Kam Rai Thai has hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The meals always come out hot and fresh and the service is top tier. The atmosphere is always so welcoming and relaxing which is perfect for a little date night or pit stop for a quick bite. We have been coming to this place ever since our first trip to NY and have continued to make it a part of our trip ever since. 10/10 worth it!!

This place is super good 😻 must visit place if you’re looking for best food around NYC. Today I ate curry 🍛 it was super tasty, chef is amazing. I even wanted to cry because it was amazing. Service is top notch too. Thank you so much for opening amazing place 🫶🏻

Fantastic customer service from beginning to end. We felt welcomed and comfortable throughout, the servers were attentive and helpful and gave recommendations when asked. The roti massaman was the star, absolutely delicious. So delicate with a depth of flavour and so well balanced. Had a nice umami taste to it, a bit of sweetness and a tiny bit of spice. Very comforting and absolutely fantastic, I look forward to having that again soon. The summer rolls with shrimp were ok, not my personal favorite, but they were fresh and decent overall. I personally would try a different app next time. The pad see eww was great, but could use a bit more tofu. It was fresh, not too salty, the noodles were tender, Chinese broccoli well cooked, tofu was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just right! It's great to have this in the neighbourhood and I look forward to going back and trying the pad Thai and curry dishes.

Kam Rai Thai is off the beaten path, but it's a nice addition to the restaurant scene in Queens. The staff are friendly and the ambiance is trendy with the help of the faux flowers hanging near the entrance as you walk in. The food is just as comforting as the decor with classics such as the mango salad and chive pancakes. The chive pancakes were a delight and were the perfect texture. The tom yum soup noodle was hearty and a perfect dish to be shared. I would've preferred if they made it spicy but the friend I was with couldn't handle spice. The crispy duck was the best part of the meal. The least wowing part of the experience were the cocktails which I found to be meh. The desserts were also lackluster with the mango sticky rice being the wrong texture and the brown sugar jelly just being jelly with a spoon of brown sugar. If you're just focused on the appetizers and the food, I think Kam Rai Thai can provide great value if you're willing to make the trek. Maybe next time I'll try the dishes as they are meant to be: spicy.

We were introduced to Kam Rai Thai at two previous Yelp events -- at Yelp's award ceremony at the beginning of the year, and then at a Yelp Elite dinner in the spring. Kam Rai was impressive in both events. Many Thai restaurants in New York lean too much on salty and sweet flavors, but Kam Rai showcased a more dynamic range of flavors. With that, I convinced a friend to come with me to Kam Rai Thai for lunch on a very hot summer day in. Our visit was somewhat disappointing -- the dynamic and varied flavors were there, but the execution could have been better. The air conditioning could have been stronger, too. We had: - Ayutthaya Beef Noodle Soup: $20.95; $22.81 with tax. The soup had good flavor, but it seemed like some ingredients were not cooked through. The thin noodles were a bit hard. Some pieces of collagen were hard, while other pieces were soft. - Pad See Ew, with Chicken: $15.95; $17.37 with tax. Leaned sweet, and not as salty as other interpretations. The garlic bits were a bit dry and hard. - Large Thai Iced Tea: $9.95; $10.83 with tax. There was too much ice in the drink. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals and start at 18%.

Ayutthaya Boat Noodles in Tom Yum broth is a must get! Love the floral decorations and the vibes. Great service

My favorite Thai spot in Astoria! 10/10 food, selection, service, ambiance, and music. Pretty dish-ware and cutlery.

I accidentally walked into this place as I was shopping for Greek groceries. This place is cool. Good for a date night. They also have outdoor seating in the back during the summer months. The server was very nice. I asked him if he was the chef he said no, Chef Oak came out to greet me and I got a chance to meet him. Very very nice guy. I ordered the special beef noodle soup. And it was delicious. Coming back to try other dishes.

We came here on a Tuesday night and we're seated immediately. Right away, I noticed the floral decor and patterns that lined the ceilings and walls, the atmosphere was very romantic but at the same time, it could host a an intimate group for a special dinner. We started off with drinks, which were great and set the mood. Only when I looked online did I noticed they had an happy hour that we did not come to know of. The chicken was crispy and paired well with the sweet Thai sauce. The curry puffs were the star of the show and came out fluffy and piping hot on the inside for the mains, I was craving noodles so I thoroughly enjoyed , the Thai inspired flavors of my beef noodle soup (~$20), and my partner got their special minced beef dish (Kraphao Nuea Sab Kai Dao $21.95) which boasts of sweet basil, pepper & chili seasonings. All in all, this was a great place to spend the night out, although I still think the price point could be slightly adjusted for the entrees that were served.

My new favorite Thai place. The staff is great and the chef is lovely. If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine, this is the spot to go. The decor is gorgeous, small intimate spot perfect for date night. I love spicy food, the spice at this spot is on point, a little too spicy in some cases. I recommend going with medium spice. I've dined here twice so far and tried a variety dishes, everything was good, you can't go wrong with whatever you select. They also have an innovative cocktail menu and their Thai iced tea is very good.

Absolutely amazing Thai food spot located in Astoria. The early dinner deal is bottomless and it offers great selection as well. We tried crispy cream cheese, spring roll, Pad Kee Mao with shrimp, green curry with beef, Thai tea, and mekhong old fashioned for the early dinner. We also tried their award winning pork bun, absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend this dish! The pork belly we got with the award winning sauce was also so tasty. The owners happened to be when we were there, and they were so nice and passionate about their food! Love the enthusiasm from them. The interior decoration is so cozy and cute! It's filled with floral decoration! It's definitely a place I would visit again!

So happy to have another great Thai spot in the neighborhood! While there are already a bunch of "Thai" restaurants in Astoria, I didn't feel that all of them tasted truly authentic. Came here for bottomless brunch using a pulsd deal. 4 people around noon on a weekend. We were warned by other friends that use the deal that it was quite limited and that the brunch hours were subject to change. One of our friends is vegetarian and was originally told that only meat protein options were included in the brunch. They were generous and quick with the bottomless brunch cocktail refills! The pulsd deal came with limited food and drink options. I would love to come back for dinner to try more dishes. Most dishes can be requested mild (one person in our party prefers less spice). The medium spice level is still a good amount of spice. (I like my Thai food spicy!) Everything was delicious! There is a large menu so I may need to come back with a large group to share/sample more dishes.

Honestly, best thai food i've had in a while. Didn't have much expectations because I stumbled upon this spot out of nowhere but whoa so good. I definitely recommend the crab fried rice! Our server was nice and attentive! Cute and nice ambiance, made me feel like I was no longer in Astoria

This place is truly a gem in Astoria! I've been here several times and each time it gets better and better. The food is absolutely fantastic and the service is amazing. To top it off it has such a laid back vibe that you will not want to leave. If you fancy yourself to a drink then they have a nice selection of cocktails and beers to choose from. I'm waiting for my dessert and planning my next trip to KAM RAI THAI. Thank you for the artistry of food.

Location: 43-11 28th Ave, Queens, NY 11103 Ambiance: When we got there only the outside was available but the inside looks very chill and aesthetically pleasing. Service: We were welcomed and assisted immediately. Food: My main intention coming here is to really make my husband try their crab meat fried rice and the pig beach island pork belly cause It was really good the first time I tasted it during YELP event, as well as the pumpkin custard. But they don't have the custard instead they offered the coconut pudding. It was really good and refreshing. Portion was enough to cap our meal off. So so good. Crab meat fried rice-- exceptional and you can really taste the real crab in it. Pig beach Island pork belly- So good as expected. I left 4 pcs for my work tomorrow. Haha. Coconut pudding: Not too sweet. Portion is perfect for me. As a coconut lover myself it's making me want for more. Uuuf very dangerous haha. Anyways, good vibes as always coming here! Highly recommend Thai restaurant.

Big fan of Kam Rai. Their crispy duck is super delicious and had great portions. Love the Thai boat noodles super flavorful and had lots of meat. Jellyfish salad was also super flavorful and had a good kick to it. Will come back!

I went to this spot for brunch/lunch with a group on a weekend a good while back pretty soon after they opened and I am happy that they still doing well. Overall, the food was excellent. The spot is reasonably sized with a friendly waiter. It wasn't crowded but we did go off peak hours and a couple folks came in after we sat. For appetizers, the Mango Salad with sliced mango, red onion, scallion, and cashew nuts in a spicy lime juice was solid. I prefer it a tad more spicy but that's more of a preference and it had a good amount of cashews for crunch. The Roti Massaman or Roti pancake served with potato in Massaman dipping was my least favorite dish by a good amount. The roti was tasty but the Massaman curry was watery. I find this curry usually a bit thick but this wasn't. You can partially see by it being a bit oddly white compared to some other spots. For main dishes, the Nuea Yang with sliced rib eye with spicy tamarind jaew wan sauce and bitter jaewkhom sauce was outstanding and a good representation of this northern Thai delicacy. Served with sticky rice, this was a very big portion for the price with a tasty version of the jaew sauce. The steak was cut thin enough that it was quite tender even for skirt and overall I would highly recommend it. Also good and beefy was the Khao Soi Kua Nuea with Stir fried Northern Thai style curry with short rib, fresh red onion, cilantro, dried chili oil, pickled cabbage, and homemade crispy egg noodle. Their presentation is part of the reason you order this dish, but it's not just presentation but flavor. Big tasty beef rib with a bit of chew and the broth had a bit of heat but not too much. Not many complaints for this dish also. There was also the Pineapple Curry Crispy Duck with tomato, pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and fresh basil with crispy duck. There might have been the nontraditional bell pepper but the flavors were solid. I presume the basis was a Phanaeng/Panang base based on the subtle sweetness and heat. The pineapple inside was sweet and tender enough that it almost reminded me of some more tropical fruits. The duck was crispy with tender skin. Very solid. The Kaphrao Moo Grob Kai Dao or crispy pork with basil leaves, pepper, and onion in spicy fresh chili basil sauce with a fried egg on top is a pretty good version of this classic dish though likely my least favorite of the group. Crispy pork with a nicely spicy sauce though I found the flavors a bit more basic than the other dishes. It was also a bit smaller compared to the other dishes. Still tasty. Overall excellent food outside of a fault or two. It's a bit far from the subway stops but this might help keep the prices down and it easier to get into so I don't mind. Mid 4

I normally order from my go to Thai place but decided to give this place a chance since it was closer and had great reviews. Aside from finding a bug as I was eating my food, the food lacked flavor despite the spice level. They do have a good lunch special price but I will definitely never be ordering from them again. I've completely lost my appetite.

This is not an Americanized thai place, it is the real deal.* The food is excellent and the service is attentive and friendly. At lunch today the chef came over, introduced himself and asked how things were. The decor is pleasant, prices are fine and they can bring the spice if you ask for it. I had the pork boat noodles with a broth made with beef blood - the broth is so flavorful, I keep thinking of the dish. *I mean as far as I know. I'm definitely not Thai, but I get around.

You can never judge a book by its cover. It's easy to miss this place, I drove right past it. I could not ask for a better experience from the staff. Came here with my very good friends who found this place by chance. I gave it 5 stars! We were greeted very early by Chris who I believe is the owner. If I had to use one word to describe the experience by the staff would be "PRIDE". The restaurant is cozy, warm, inviting, clean, has a great selection of Thai food. Prices are very fair, unique and different decorations. We started with a few appetizers. The shrimp wonton soup, edemame, Thai spring rolls, fried calamari, Thai dumplings and the roti dish. All of the dishes had a lot of flavor and the soup was amazingly unique. For mains we had the chicken Pad Thai, Pad See Uw, vegetarian fried rice and the papaya salad. Everything was great, plenty of flavor, fresh ingredients, just the right temperature. Most dishes can be made to the spice level you like. We ordered the papaya salad at a 1and it had a nice kick to it. I could just image what a 5 would be like. I highly recommend them, you will feel welcome and special. I can assure you, they won't disappoint.

Service was good- our waiter was nice. The food was good too. I'd recommend the pad kee mao. I did think some things are overpriced, for example the roti with massaman sauce was $11 and only came with about 2 full rotis cut into smaller bites, and the side order of roti for $3 was 1 roti cut into 4 slices.

Pros: + Gorgeous Interior + Unique Thai dishes + Drunken Noodles with Duck were divine (Just order it a level less spicy than you usually get it at most other Thai restaurants) + Top Tier Service Cons: - Limited Parking - Desserts were lacking in a little flavor (i.e. mostly sugar. Not made to cater to the American Palate) IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

When craving authentic Thai flavors in Astoria, Kam Rai in Elmhurst stands out as a top choice. Delve beyond the typical pad thai and explore their menu categorized by regions like Northeastern and Southern Thailand. Dishes such as the spicy rare beef and refreshing jellyfish salad promise a tantalizing experience, with the option to dial up the heat to your liking ("Thai spicy," anyone?). Kam Rai's ambiance adds to the allure, with trendy green tiling and teardrop lamps, all while maintaining Astoria's beloved neighborhood charm. And yes, their pad thai is delicious too! Appy Hour & Bottomless Brunch: When: Mon-Fri 11:00 am - 6:00 pm, Sat-Sun 11:30 am - 4:30 pm Specials: $5 Beer, $6 Cocktails & Wine Bottomless Brunch: $25 for 60 Minutes Flushing What we ordered: Thai milk tea 4/5 Nuea Tartare 5/5 Nuea Yang 5/5 Khao Soi Khua Nuea 4/5 Tom Yum Soup 3.5/5 Basil Fried Rice with Duck 4.5/5 Roti Massaman 3/5 Garlic chicken leg 2/5 too dry and taste like Costco chicken Calamari 2/5 dry kra prow neur sub 4/5

Walked in at 6:30 on a Saturday and there was no wait. My boyfriend and I tried: + Kopi de Trang cocktail + Yala cha chuck cocktail + Khao soi gai confit + Roti massaman + Crab meat fried rice + nuea yang + Mango sticky rice Cocktails were solid but not essential. The espresso martini-style one was the better of the two. Food was amazing - especially the Khao soi, roti and crab fried rice - and service was great. Thai food competition is strong in Queens right now, but this place holds its own!

Decent food, service was very attentive. Beautiful floral aesthetics on the ceiling as well. We sat down on a Thursday evening around 530pm, with no wait. We ordered: - Pad Kee Mao - Massaman Curry - Thai Iced Tea I had the massaman curry with pork, which came with a side of jasmine rice. It was not too sweet, not spicy at all, and flavors were not overwhelming. The Thai iced tea was nothing special, $5, a little more expensive than I expected. We didn't finish our meals and had to get it wrapped because of how big the portion size was!

It's a little quaint spot. Definitely Instagram worthy with the pretty florals on top. Service was impeccable and food above all was amazing! We've ordered the Kraphao Moo Grob Kai Dao, Khao Soi Gai Confit, Curry Puff, Chive Pancake, and Coconut Shrimp for the drinks we also ordered the Chiangmai Mojito and I forgot the other one :x For the APPS. I recommend the curry puff! So soft and fluffy and in the middle has that comfort stew like consistency. Wrapped in a lovely puff pastry. The Chive pancake is always a must for me! It's packed with flavor and definitely will fill you up. As for the scallion pancake it was soft with the curry stew which had a great balance and as for the coconut shrimp. It was okay. Wasn't too crazy about it but still hits the spot. Above all I recommend the Kraphao Moo Grob Kai Dao ! If you're into that crispy pork belly kind of deal. It is something different and you don't see it anywhere else or as often. The Khao Soi Gai Confit was good too. A bit mild and not too spicy. Noods was cooked perfectly and the chicken thigh definitely will fill you up. Definitely try out their signature drinks as well! it was refreshing and gives you a good buzz. Will definitely come back here for more!

Came here for dinner with some friends and the food was pretty good. The flavor was really well crafted and my favorite was definitely the crispy duck. I felt the portions were a bit small and a bit expensive but overall pretty good. There were a lot of people dining in and the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was very nice though I feel like the music was a bit loud. Overall, all of their other items also looks very good but you definitely come here for quality over quantity.

You may be seeing this restaurant's suspiciously high rating and be skeptical. I am here to tell you that the rave is absolutely justified. I went with two friends on a Tuesday night, and it was pretty quiet, there were maybe two or three other tables with us. The ambiance was exquisite: sultry summer night under a floral gazebo vibes! The food was the blockbuster though. we got the beef tartare to start, the catfish and beef confit as the entrees, and some cocktails. For a lot of the dishes, we were asked what level of spiciness we were comfortable with, which was a kind gesture. I highly recommend the tartare, confit and Thai tea cocktail: the flavors and textures were all incredible, the level of spiciness was just right, I had a hard catching up with my friends because I was shoveling food into my mouth. I will 100% be going back, alone this time, and order the exact same thing. Except without any friends nearby I will be able to silently, shamelessly throw myself at the food.

We were transported to the prettiest gem in the neighborhood for a delightful Thai culinary treat. We sat indoors under flowers and celebrated my friend's birthday. The service was friendly and consistent. The food and cocktails were nicely presented. Would just say the air conditioning was not up to par, so it was a bit stuffy inside. They did provide a floor fan though. Will dine in the garden next time we return.

This place is absolutely incredible. I used to live two doors down from this location and while part of me still wishes I did so I could come more often, the other part knows this place isn't good for my wallet or waistline - though an occasional visit does wonders for my heart and soul. Part cocktail bar, part Thai restaurant, the small interior of this spot is well decorated and welcoming. The service is top notch, especially the friendly bartenders who offer recommendations on their signature whiskey cocktails and offerings. The Khao Soi here is one of the best things I've ever eaten, truly a warm hug in a bowl. Do yourself a favor and make the trek over here, it's well worth a trip.

we came here on a Thursday night. A group of eight. The place has a really cool vibe with pretty flowers on the ceiling, dimly lit, and pretty lamps above the bar. The drinks are really pretty and taste delicious. We got some appetizers to share. The chive cake so yummy, coconut shrimp is always good, the chicken skewers had a little kick to them, and we all shared an order of the jellyfish. The jellyfish was so spicy. It was super interesting and I'm glad I tried it. Our entrées were delicious. The service was outstanding. And I really can't wait to go back.

They're currently having a Happy Hour deal! For only $19.95, you can get an Appetizer, one Main Course and Bottomless Drinks. Everyday 3.30-5.30 pm. Great deal!

They have a very special drink menu, each cocktail here is inspired by a region in Thailand! Love the Khao soi gai confit. The curry was very creamy with deep flavors from fresh cilantro, shallots, lime, Thai spices... Mian pla pow/ grilled fish was impressive. Wrap the fish together with vermicelli, peanuts, and sauces in lettuce, each bite was a explosion of flavors. Luk chin ping/ grilled meatballs. You can taste the kiss of the flame. Meatballs were very bouncy and chewy

This Thai gem captivates with its bold flavors and authentic Northeastern, Northern Thai, and Central offerings. The menu, rich in spicy and pungent delights, pays homage to the essence of Thai cuisine, accentuated by the omnipresent fragrance of fish sauce. The standout, a revelation in taste, was the squid ink squid--an exquisite symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. The authenticity of the Crab Fried Rice was unparalleled, with the initial bites revealing the subtle crunch of crab shell. A daring exploration led me to the Beef Blood Vermicelli Soup, an unprecedented delight that even my 2-year-old couldn't resist, which completely astonished me. This Thai haven is more than a restaurant; it's a journey through the diverse and vibrant tapestry of Thai culinary traditions, where each dish tells a story of passion and authenticity. A must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by someone who is very friendly, polite, and courteous. As I was seated, they gave u an extensive menu, and if you have questions, all are answered. I did ask about this one dish, which is a noodle soup dish called ba mee pu kiaw Kung because it can either be dry or wet. I asked how it could be dry, and the waiter explained extensively, so he said to try it as this is what people in Thailand eat. I did order it. Anyway, the food, it took a long time. Perhaps around 30 minutes and everything came out at different times, such as the appetizer came out later than my entree. It was strange. I'm wondering if they have a small kitchen and/ or only one chef. Also, we ordered the Roti Massaman, which are pancakes with sauce that you dip. This meat dish that I forgot the name of and fried rice.

This place is GOOD. Food (5/5): Every dish was perfection. We started with the Thai dumplings and Roti Massaman. Flavorful. The starters actually got us ready for the mains. I had the duck Drunken Noodles and the other person had the Khao Soi Khua Nuea. I thoroughly enjoyed my drunken noodles. I chose a 4/5 spice level and could have gone spicier (I eat spicy food - think habaneros - a lot). The other person got 5/5 and felt it in every bite. I believe anything on this menu will be delicious. Service (5/5): we went when it wasn't busy. But, the server was super attentive and took time to explain options to us. From the moment we entered the restaurant, I felt welcome. Super service. Ambiance (5/5): the decor is modern and fun. And there was a frog painting that made me smile. You'll have to come to the restaurant to check it out. All in all, I would go out of my way to come here if I was craving Thai food. In fact, I did! And I wasn't disappointed. I wish I could give this place 6 stars out of 5.

Our new favorite spot for Friday family night dinner! What an amazing addition to 28th Avenue in Astoria! We have been meaning to try this spot and finally got around to it last night. We suggest making a reservation because although we didn't have one it got packed once we sat down and our drinks came out. To drink my dad got their beer; singha, my mom got vodka and I got a mojito. To start, we got the 6 piece of sweet chili wings. They were perfection! Hot, crispy and that sauce .... ADDICTING! As an entree my dad got the red snapper, my mom the cauliflower with shrimp and I got the crispy pork with fried egg. All of them were delicious! My dads fish was crispy and fresh, my moms cauliflower with shrimp had an amazing flavor and my crispy pork hit the spot. The service was top tier! Since we sat down, they too our drink orders and gave us recommendations. They stopped by every couple of minutes to make sure we were okay and asked if we needed anything. The icing on the cake was the coconut pudding though! It was the perfect size, texture and ending to our Friday family dinner. We got seated in the back which was perfect! It was quiet, cozy and intimate. The set up was so nice! Now we have a new Thai place close to home! Definitely a place that's so worth it. Thank you for having us Kam Rai! We will be back soon.

The food was amazing. My only critique is that the Thai iced tea had too much ice. But this is minor compared to the portion sizes and the friendliness of the staff. There was no wait and my family and I had a blast on our Sunday evening visit. Our waiter was so helpful and patient as we ordered and was attentive. The restaurant is beautiful and the patrons were also friendly. I look forward to returning in the future.

this spot has become my favorite thai spot in Astoria. I loved the interior. we started off with the chicken satay and crispy cream cheese. both appetizers were delicious. the chicken satay portion was huge. my favorite main dish was definitely the duck. the sauce that comes with it goes so well together. everything came out pretty quick. we had to end the meal off with the mango sticky rice! can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu!

Food was good but not the best Thai food I've ever had. I do think the prices are a bit high for the portions we received. Service was good and not much of a wait even on weekends. I just wished they disclosed the 3% restaurant fee that was added to my bill beforehand or just raise the menu prices.

The best feeling is finding a hidden gem in your neighborhood. This place is no doubt one of them. Service: Before i get started on the food, i have to point out how good the service was. He was so caring and constantly making sure that our food was good and we had everything we needed. Our server even opened the door for us when we walked out (they weren't that busy on the day we went) Drinks: We ordered the iced Thai tea and it's actually a real Thai iced tea!! No powder!! Food: the food was so flavorful. My favorite was definitely the tartare. I've never had these flavors before in a tartare and it's definitely something i would crave. The price and portion is actually REALLY good on the tartare. Everything is good value and tasty. You must check out this Thai spot!! I know I'll definitely be revisiting them. The vibes were great and i love the way they decorated the place. Good ambiance

It's a beautiful Friday afternoon. It's relatively quiet with just two tables occupied and a few take out/ pick up orders. We sat down and was greeted with two ice cold cups of water in nice aluminum cups reminiscent of Moscow mule mugs. We had: Thai Iced Tea -$5, brilliantly refreshing on a warm day Mango Juice - $5, wonderfully cold and not too sweet Roti Massaman -$9, nice starter and a good intro to their curry sauce Pad Thai with Tofu - $13, a great value with a nice palate cleanser (seafood soup) included, fresh salad, crispy spring roll Khao Soi Khua Nuea (beef short rib) - $30, the mother of all khao soi as it's presented with a beef rib that makes me happy. I expected a bit of chew as it is not smoked, so it's best to cut it up and let it soak in the wonderful curry noodles. It's a great ambiance reminiscent of the time I spent in Thailand - music you want to dance to, a place to grab a beer (wonderful/ cute bar), and cutely decorated with Halloween stuff. If only there was a location closer to home...

Amazing service, ambiance and food overall. Very reasonably priced and the workers offered us free shots at the end of the meal. The scallion pancakes were also really good with the roti canai style sauce.

What's not to love? It's Thai! A huge menu filled with Thai dishes from pretty much every part of Thailand, served by a warm and friendly staff in a cool retro space that gives off the best of vibes. As far as I'm concerned, just like pad Thai, Roti Massaman should be on every Thai menu. All that crispy, fluffy goodness dipped in delicious sweet curry. It's basically everything. I've had slightly better(crispier) but I'm truly a sucker for the Roti. But don't get me wrong, the pad Thai is very well executed. I went with the additional of duck as my proteins and I will admit, the duck is a little on the chewy side. Overall Kam Rai Thai, Kam Rai Thai has too much going for it not to be a fan. Certainly worth the trip to Queens.

So happy to have found this little gem off the less traveled part of Astoria. Service was incredible; attentive, caring and customer centric in a beautiful space with a great upbeat ambiance. I was impressed with the owner and chef who came to greet us and checked in several times. I hope they keep this up. Food was as authentic as you can get for delicious Thai food representing the four amazing culinary regions of Thailand. Everything was simply delicious with the robust sweet and savory flavors that are inherent in authentic Thai cuisine. I'm definitely coming back.

Went to this awesome spot with my bestie, the food was amazing and very delicious, the drinks were tasty. The service was fantastic and the restaurant had an amazing atmosphere and vibe. I will definitely come back soon

This is my new favorite Thai spot in Astoria -- I've never been disappointed by anything off of the menu -- from coconut shrimp to basil fried rice to pad thai. And their roti massaman is honestly one of the greatest things I've ever tasted. The cocktails are delicious, unique, and strong (and they have the best espresso martinis in the area). Beautiful ambiance inside for any occasion, and the BEST music. Additionally, everyone who works there is fun, kind, and extremely attentive. I love that the Chef has come out to check in with every table to ensure each dish is being enjoyed. And Chris and BK provide truly above-and-beyond service; they make me and my group feel special every time.

a certain friend of mine who happens to be burmese royalty recommended this spot to me. so yummy! i had the gai thod hat yai - soooo yummy. wish there was coconut rice on the menu, but i always want coconut rice. the fake flowers everywhere are kitschy and silly and love that the chef highlighted his interesting life's journey in the menu!

I and my family had an amazing time here last night , the food and the staff were just incredible, make sure you try the thai sausage! Braised short rib, duck, jelly fish , ribs ..all absolutely delicious , the bar tender makes a tasty beverage and the host was personable and charming . There is a cool vibe going on here ..highly recomended

Regular restaurant goers, and we can't stop ourselves from revisiting Kam Rai Thai over and over again. Our waiters are always exceptional. The food never disappoints. We get the papaya salad every time at a spicy level 4 out of 5, which is always fresh and delicious. I usually get a soup the Thom Kha and Thom Yum are flavorful and filling. My boyfriend always gets the award winning Nuea Yang and loves it every time. The Jaew sauce it comes with is unforgettable, sweet and savory. Great environment, highly recommend. Worth traveling for.
