Pochana Thai Kitchen

Wow Wow Wow. It's been years since I came to Queens for a day out and when I planned the journey from my borough, this was the first place I went to catch their lunch special. I love the portion sizes. Enough to enjoy more if that makes sense. I had their red curry with chicken, the bang bang shrimp, and spring rolls. It was my first time trying plum sauce. So sweet 🩷 Their mocktails are so fun. I had the ginger fizz. It tasted like a ginger ale icee 😍. I have to come again so I can have all 8! 😂 Very sweet staff. Nice space. Tasty TASTY food. 😂😋. Thank you for having me. I'll be back again 🩷⭐

What a gem !!! Truly !! One of the most underrated Thai restaurant The Star Dish: Scallion Pancakes (Fried Chive Cakes) The Scallion Pancakes were truly 100/10! They were absolutely spectacular—crisp on the outside, bursting with chive flavor inside, and perfectly seasoned. If you go, this appetizer is non-negotiable; it's a crispy, flavorful sensation I’ve never tasted before. 🍽️ Main Dishes & Drink The rest of the meal was perfectly executed and so well balanced: Pad Kra Pow: Flavorful, savory, and spicy with aromatic basil, served beautifully with rice and a fried egg. A great version of this classic. Red Curry: Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with the perfect blend of spice and coconut milk. Thai Iced Tea: The perfect creamy, sweet, and refreshing cool-down drink. Special shoutout to the wonderful, warm and welcoming staff . I’ll come again and again !!

Came for the 16$ early dinner deal Can't go wrong with a 4 course meal, definitely worth coming and leaving satisfied Nice cozy place, the deal is from 5-7pm, came at 5:30pm and got seated right away. The various options is nice, mostly noodles and rice dishes with meat being a 2-3$ add-on, but overall all the food was delicious. Highly recommend if in the area

Pochana was super nice! The service was fast, and the people were very nice. I got the 12 dollar lunch special (soup + pad kee mao (not shown, but super yummy and spicy) + Thai iced tea). The prices were great and the food was good, I will be sure to come back !

First time here! We were presented with a warm welcome, and seated swiftly. Husband and I arrived during lunch time and got ourselves a dish and an appetizer; crab Rangoon, laab GAI, Thai fried rice (veggie), spicy noodle soup (chicken, thin rice noodle), and Thai tea with lime (forgot to take a picture 😩). Tastes quite good and authentic. Even at an medium/mild spice level flavours are still there.

Super cozy and authentic Thai restaurant. Highly recommend their Thai Iced Tea and Pad Thai. The staffs were attentive and the service was speedy. The $16 4-course meal is definitely worth it.

Went for the $16 deal. The portions were so small. The appetizer was two dumplings… So it wasn’t an early bird special. I was just a promo grab. Food was good. Cannot complain about the taste but the service was also bad. Waited 15 minutes for the ice cream that ended up being a spoonful of ice cream. Left still hungry.

A small ish imitate restaurant in Astoria. Loved the food especially their appetizers and drinks. Fav drink: fifty 50 (half Thai tea half lychee juice). Staff are super friendly and helpful. Would def come back

The Early Bird special is a great dinner deal at $16, which includes an appetizer, entree, drink, and dessert (scoop of ice cream). The entrees are the standard Thai entrees you can find at any Thai takeout place (pad thai, pad see ew, curry, etc.), and they also tasted pretty standard. If you want their other more unique dishes, you'd have to order from the regular menu. The staff is pleasant, and it's a nice spot for casual dinner. They don't serve alcohol, so they have a robust mocktail menu to make up for it.

Came here for the Early Bird Special that they offer between 5-7PM every Monday - Friday with my significant other. Was able to get one appetizer, an entree, a dessert, and a drink all for a whooping $16. Where can you get all of this for $16 elsewhere? For the special we got Tofu Fries and Yao Wa Raj Dumplings for the appetizers. There were only 2 to 3 pieces so you'll definitely not get full on these alone. For the entree, we ordered the Chicken Pad See Ew and Shrimp Green Curry. Good sized portions and delicious. Getting chicken is an additional $2 of the deal while shrimp or beef is an additional $3. Otherwise you can get tofu or vegetable, where there's no additional charge. For drinks, we had to get a Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee. Can't go wrong with either. The meal ends with a Coconut Ice Cream, which is worth sticking to the end for. Also a really nice way to end the meal. Note that they do not have a liquor license, or no alcohol is served here. So we also got a few of their mocktails, which were not bad! Don't remember the names of the drink unfortunately. We also ordered the Larb Gai ($10) is a minced chicken salad originated from Northern Thailand. Wasn't really sure how to eat this, but I mixed it in with my other entrees. The Bang Bang Shrimp ($9) is absolutely delicious, which is battery lightly and the spicy mayo sauce you can't say no to.

Foodstagram: @ashthetic.eats Nothing better than sipping on Thai iced tea with a delicious spread in front of you! ‍ Visited Pochana for their $16 early bird special (Monday to Friday, 5-7pm) and was not disappointed. For our party of two, we each ordered something different to try a bit of everything -- spring rolls and steamed dumplings to start (both super fresh and paired perfectly with their sauces), then beef pad see ew and shrimp green curry for mains. The pad see ew was one of the best I've had, and the green curry was rich and flavorful with perfectly cooked shrimp. We ended with their homemade coconut ice cream, which was light and creamy. The space is cozy and great for all group sizes. If you're a party of five or more, definitely call ahead -- it gets busy, especially during early bird hours. Service was quick and friendly, and all the food came out hot and fast. Couldn't resist ordering a couple more items outside of the early bird menu because everything tasted so good. Highly recommend if you're craving Thai food and want an incredible deal. Can't wait to go back!

I was nervous to try this place out because I have my staple Thai places that I frequently go to but my friend recommended we go as she's gone before and stated that she enjoyed it! I agreed to go and we ended up arriving during the dinner special which is Mon-Fri between the hours of 5 PM - 7 PM ($16) (extra $ for protein) - I was shocked at how great of a deal it was! I got spring rolls as my appetizer, pad see ew with chicken as my main course & it was pretty tasty! The portions were normal as well! My favorite was the homemade coconut ice cream to top off the meal! The service was quick, the place itself is on the smaller side but still a comfy setting! I will definitely be back!

Did someone say $16 for a 3 course meal and a drink!!! Sign me up! This type of deal is unheard of! This was definitely a great bang for our buck. You will definitely be full (but at the same time the menu has a lot of carb items) Please note, default, the dishes don't come with meat, but you can pay a little extra for the meat to be added. We added chicken to each dish and they definitely did not skim out on the meat. We ordered: Drinks: Thai Coffee Thai Iced Tea Appetizers: Tofu Fries Dumplings Tom Yum Entree: Pad Thai Red Curry Thai Fried Rice Dessert: Coconut Ice Cream Even though, it is generic Thai food. Overall, I am very content with my meal. For this price, I can't complain at all. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a little small and it gets quite packed, since everyone is rushing there to get the deal. So you should check it out too!

The braised beef with curry rice was really good. The beef was soft and flavorful and some of the rice was crispy which gave great texture

4.5 stars!! Went for the lunch special and I think it's so worth it. This place has always been cute and I love coming here. Only knocked off half a star because the tom yum was just okay that day. Nothing will ever compare to my moms But the pad kee mao didn't piss me off like most places. I love how they do it here. Also, the staff is always nice

Went for the $16 weekday 3-course dinner special from 5pm-7pm. You get an app, an entree, a drink & coconut ice cream w/ peanuts. Service is good. 2/5 Thai iced tea- diabetes sweet 3/5 veggie rolls (2 rolls) - decent, crispy 2/5 Ginger Shrimp ($3 extra): sauce way too sweet 3/5 shrimp ($3 extra) pad see ew: too sweet, but more flavorful than the above 4/5 coconut ice cream w/ peanuts: This was the only thing I enjoyed. Best course by far for me. I forgot to ask for no peanuts, but there was minimal crushed peanuts, so it didn't bother me. Service is good. I shuda just gotten the fried tho instead tho. Why is it that most cuisines have either spicy or sweet food? If not spicy, why does it have to be sweet?

Ate here today for lunch and dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q. I had ordered and couple of the lunch special such as a complimentary appetizer I chose which is vegetable egg rolls and first my entree I chose Thai fried rice and ask to add shrimp and another dish I ordered grandma's pork chops with rice and for dessert I got mango sticky rice that I got full after eating it of how delicious it was, thristy and quenched when I drank my Thai Iced Tea to go. The service there was also attentive and super fast. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

CHEAP EATS ALERT!!! Pochana is a family style hole-in-the-wall thai restaurant in Astoria, offering $16 EARLY BIRD DINNER SET for an appetizer, entrée, dessert and drink. It is almost impossible to get a 3-course dinner for this price in an expensive city like NYC!? Each course comes in reasonable portion and everything tastes homey and delicious. My personal favorites were crab rangoon (creamy filling wrapped in thin crispy wonton), pad see ew (we licked clean the plate, and the shrimps were bouncy!), and Som Tum (refreshing). For drinks, their thai iced tea was very legit. The halloween mocktail was so spooky and creative!! It made me wanna try their other halloween specials on the menu. Last but not least, their new Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was another highlight. It was made of sticky rice, coconut ice cream, whipped cream with toasted coconut. We were surprised by how sweet and ripe the mangoes were. What we got for our Early Bird Sets: - Crab Rangoon* - Tom Yum Soup - Pad See Ew with Shrimp** - Green Curry with Chicken - Homemade Coconut Ice Cream - Home Brewed Thai Ice Tea* Salad: - Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad)** - Larb Gai (Minced Chicken Salad) Mocktails: - Spooky Halloween - Ginger Fizz Dessert: - Mango Sticky Rice Sundae*

We saw their $16 early dinner special (from 5-7pm), which included an appetizer, entree, dessert, and a drink. I got the steamed dumplings, which reminded me of siu mai. It came with a soy/chili/vinegar sauce and was delicious! For the entree, I got the green curry with chicken ($2 extra). The flavour was good but the curry was a bit runny. For dessert, everyone gets the icecream with coconut shavings. Service was extremely fast but they also want for you to finish your meal ASAP. We felt a bit rushed and were served our dessert before we even finished our main course. Of course, the bill came before we even finished our dessert. Despite feeling rushed, the deal itself is pretty unbeatable, and I'll come back next time I'm looking for a quick meal.

Pros: I visited around 1 PM and ordered the pad kee mao with chicken. The dish was priced at $13, with a $2 extra charge for chicken, which I found reasonable. It was very delicious, served in a good portion, and the spice level was perfect for my tastebuds. Their Thai iced tea was also very good & reasonably priced at $5. The food came out fairly quickly, and the servers were very polite. Con: The service was a bit slow, so I had to actively get the server's attention as they weren't very attentive.!

a 3-course meal + drink for $16? count me in! their early bird special comes with an appetizer, entrée, dessert and drink from monday - friday at 5-7pm featured menu items: - 2 early bird specials (crab rangoon, steamed dumpling, chicken pad thai, shrimp basil fried rice, 2 coconut ice creams, thai ice coffee, and thai ice tea) - tom yum shrimp - som tum aka papaya salad mocktails: - shirley pops - served with pop rocks around the rim!! so fun but note this drink is on the sweeter side - virgin mojito - light & refreshing the meal was so delicious and the servers were so kind, it's definitely worth a try if your in the area!! such an amazing local family run restaurant in astoria

Pochana Thai Kitchen is a cute restaurant in Astoria run by a husband-wife duo, serving authentic Thai food. For only $16 dollars, you can get a dinner set including an appetizer, entree, drink and dessert (only available weekdays between 5-7PM). Some of my favorites included the Tofu fFries, Som Tum (papaya salad) and Pad See Ew. All of the drinks we tried -- Thai Iced Tea, Basil Lemonade, and Ginger Fizz -- were also super refreshing. The staff were also the absolute sweetest. If you love variety like me, this is the perfect opportunity to try different Thai dishes at an affordable price. They also have a $12 lunch special with an appetizer and entree, so definitely swing by if you're in the area!!

I came here for the $16 early bird dinner deal and was a bit skeptical that maybe the portions would be really small or the food wouldn't be that good but wow I was so wrong. I got to the restaurant around 6pm on a Wednesday and there was already a line outside. It's a small restaurant and very popular (for good reason) so keep that in mind! We were seated after around 30 mins and ordered the Tom Yum, Pad Kee Mao, Red Curry, Thai Teas, and the coconut ice cream dessert. Standouts for me were definitely the tom yum and pad kee mao. It had the right amount of spice and tang and the noodles in the pad kee mao were cooked perfectly. I was honestly shocked at how big the portions were and I couldn't even finish everything. The curry was alright but I would probably pay a bit extra to put a different protein in it besides tofu because it was a bit bland. Pochana is such a gem and their early bird special is truly unbeatable. Highly recommend coming early to avoid the rush!

Amazing food and great service highly recommend to my friends and family portion is big as well especially the thai fried rice, We often eat here with my boyfriend this is also our go to thai restaurant.

Thai food is my weakness so I am glad to find Pochana. They have an early bird special for only $16! You get an appetizer, entree, drink, and dessert. The entree portion was generous! They also have many options so it will cater to every palate. The service is friendly and quick in this cozy establishment! This is a must try!

I randomly came upon Pochana on a chilly night out in Astoria earlier this year. I was at a show earlier in the night and looking for something to eat that was still open in the area. It was a cute little mom and pop type Thai restaurant with good authentic eats. I had the beef noodles. It was pretty tasty and definitely better than some place that I have tried in Manhattan. It's definitely more affordable and authentic than places like Thai Diner in Manhattan. The service was fairly standard. And the space itself is pretty cozy and feels almost homey. As I had dined somewhat late (after 8:30pm on a Saturday night), it wasn't too crowded.

Maybe a 3.5? Astoria has a lot of great Thai food. I came here for the dinner early bird promotion that blew up on instagram and found the options limited and portions small. The food itself was fine, nothing awesome to write home about but it wasn't bad either. While it may still be a good "deal" despite small portions, I think I rather pay full price for an entree at Pye and really love every bite. The lady serving us was also either very quiet or didn't seem to want to work that day which put a damper on the whole experience too.

Pochana is a cute local spot in Astoria that has a realllly great lunch and dinner deal! The service is quick and efficient. $16 weekday early bird dinner (5-7pm, dine-in only) includes an appetizer + entree + drink + dessert. $12 for weekday lunch (11:30am-3:30pm, dine-in, take-out, or delivery) includes an appetizer + entree. What we tried: Tom yum soup was packed with chicken, sour and lightly spicy with that perfect tom yum flavor! Pad Thai with chicken was nicely sweet with a generous portion of chicken (we love a spot that doesn't skimp!) Cashew nut and beef was on the more ordinary side with stir fried beef and cashews but the meat was tender! Thai iced tea was not too strong or sweet! the homemade coconut ice cream was creamy vanilla base with coconut bits, so refreshing! tofu fries were one of my faves! the tofu was crispy but had a soft bite paired with the sweet chili sauce. Other menu items we had: Som Tum Papaya Salad ($10) was spicy with a mild fish sauce flavor, if you like a kick, this one's for you! Sriracha Wings ($7) mild spice, perfect for those who like flavor without too much heat. Virgin Mojito ($7) was light and refreshing, like a subtle Sprite. Ginger Fizz ($7) was SO good, like a ginger ale with a twist! Super filling portions and tasty flavors all around! Highly recommend trying this spot if you're looking for an affordable and filling meal.

Came here on a Friday night for the early dinner special from 5PM-7PM for $16 (drink, appetizer, entree and dessert). Was seated immediately but the restaurant was definitely on the fuller side as it is small. My order was taken quickly and food was served shortly after. The thai tea is amazing. The tom yum soup was too salty for my taste so next time I would get the spring rolls instead. I also tried the tofu fries which were fried to perfection. I had the tofu basil fried rice and the pad thai and I would say both are on the sweeter side. The basil fried rice has a nice spicy kick to it which I love. The coconut ice cream dessert was delicious. Love the food for the price and great service. Fantastic date spot and not for large groups.

They have a $16 course meal which includes an appetizer, entree, ice cream, and iced thai tea/coffee. It is only available from 5-7pm on weekdays. They were very busy but always had just enough seats. I ordered the crab rangoon as an appetizer which is pretty good. My friends ordered their tum yum soup. The chicken in the soup is supposedly very dry but otherwise tasted good. I ordered thai see mao. Would recommend. Friend ordered thai see ew which turned out to be sweeter than expected. Thai ice tea - very very sweet Ice cream with coconut and peanut topping. Good, would recommend.

If you love Thai food, this spot is a must try! Came here for their 3 course dinner deal and it was amazing. Service was quick, and luckily even though it was prime dinner time, they were able to seat us. I got their Basil Thai Fried Rice, with Fried Tofu and a Thai ice tea. Dessert was coconut ice cream. Fried rice had the right amount of spicy and tasted amazing. The Fried Tofu/Tofu fries were very crispy and delicious and definitely a pleasant surprise. Thai ice tea was on point and the ice cream Restaurant was kinda packed especially during dinner time and space might be a bit tight but it was just enough for us. Definitely a great spot for a date night!

my new go-to for authentic Thai family-style cooking! This family-run gem brings traditional recipes straight from their home kitchen to your table, and you can taste the love in every bite. The Pad Kee Mow is so yummy. And the Duck Curry is very rich, flavorful, and everything you'd want in comfort food! The cozy setting and the warm, welcoming staff made the experience even better. Trust me, this place is worth the trip. We ordered -Tom Kha Chicken -Squid Leg -Dumplings -Pork Chop -Pine Curry Duck -Crispy Banana -Mango Sticky Rice -Ginger Fizz & Cucumber Cooler Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs!

Most delicious Thai food in Astoria!!! Duck pineapple curry was so good I tried to lick the bowl. and the mocktails!! inventive! come here FOR SURE!!

most happy hours are usually hyped up, but this is one of the few happy hours I'll happily come back to. make sure you come with your full party if you make a reservation, or else they won't let you sit down! the happy hour comes with a drink, appetizer, entree, and ice cream dessert, all for under $20. everything was absolutely tasty. my favorite part was the thai iced tea -- perfect amount of sweetness! I got the steamed dumplings and pad kee mao. the PKM was a lot spicier than usual, but I definitely enjoyed it. the pad thai was also extremely good, and I look forward to returning to order it myself.

$16 for a one-person meal of an app, an entree, a drink, and coconut ice cream?? That's a steal in this day and age. Food has your usual suspects of flavors, nothing surprising but definitely nothing bad. I'd go with the tom yum soup or the fried tofu for app and a pad Thai or pad kee mao for entree. We really enjoyed the coconut ice cream at the end!

I went to Pochana to try their three course Early Bird dinner special. There was a line outside which started before 6 pm. I had the Pad See Ew with Tom Yum Soup, Thai ice tea + ice cream. The noodles were A++ I biked over to the restaurant. So after finished my first course, I ordered a second batched, Chicken Green curry dish & Thai ice tea. My appetite was huge that night. The staff were very efficient. I will come again to taste the other items in the menu. This is a good date mode place vibe on a budget :)

i trekked out to Queens for the early bird $16 three course special from 5-7pm & it was well worth the 55 min trip from brooklyn. the door opens @ 5pm on the dot & the ambiance is quaint/cozy af. the service was fast but not rushed & very attentive. i started out with the shrimp and pork dumplings, thai iced tea & sriracha wings. the shrimp & pork dumplings were eh, i'd give them a 6-7 out of 10, the wings a solid 7 & the tea a 9. for my entree i had the pad kee mao with shrimp which was marked as spicy & the underlying sweet heat was absolutely , a 8-9 out of 10. i skipped out on dessert since im not a fan of coconut or peanuts. but id be sure to return for this flavor packed dinner experience.

Food was great -- the $16 3-course meal was very filling. Smaller portions, but honestly, it was all very delicious and a good way to try new foods for a great proce point. The srrvice was pretty fast and the people there were very nice. We came in exactly at 5pm and we were the first ones there. The place filled up really quickly for good reason!

I love this place went here for my first date in 2019 and ever since then we been returning, love there 12 buck lunch special and nice atmosphere. This place does not break your wallet unless you order everything on the menu but the wholesome excellent family food. The staff amazing polite and helpful and explain everything in detail. the are extremely tentative always check on us and refilling my water. The food amazing if you like spicy and heat this is a place to try and if you want something simple and fast this go to spot.

Excellent food and reasonably priced, in Astoria. That's a great plus!! Food was very fresh. Spring rolls were perfectly crispy and flaky, the dumplings soft and not chewy. Duck soup was hot as I like, the meat feel off the bone and the noodles were perfectly tender. Very satisfying dish. My friend, who is vegan, had a coconut spicy noodle & tofu dish which was excellent. Friendly service.

We got the early bird dinner special (5-7PM) for $16. I tried: Appetizer: Crab rangoon - 2 pieces, crispy Entree: Pad thai with tofu - this was very good with chewy noodles and flavorful sauce, all you can ask for in a pad Thai. The tofu wasn't my favorite, fried a little bit but I wasn't feeling meat (any meat is also an upcharge). I also tried a bite of my friends pad kee Mao and it was very good too - has an actual kick. Drink: seltzer Dessert: coconut ice cream - little bits of coconut throughout the ice cream, good as well. What a deal. I have to come back here.

This place is super cute and intimate with minimalist interior design. The service was so fast and they were very nice. The food was quite good and they have this happy hour deal which is nice. I definitely recommend you guys to go with family or for date night. Highly recommend the pad Khew. It's kinda spicy but tasty. Also you should definitely get the Thai tea. It's not too sweet and definitely got the tea flavor.

I ordered a beef chili basil dish, and literally one second after I paid, I asked if it was possible to switch it to something of equivalent cost -- a braised beef with curried rice from their special menu that I didn't see at first. They told me they couldn't make the change because "it's already made." I want to stress that I asked immediately after paying -- within 2 seconds -- and still, two separate staff members told me the kitchen had already prepared the dish and that they'd have to throw it out if I changed my order. I said I understood and stood off to the side since this was a takeout order. A few minutes later, one of the staff asked me to sit down, and after waiting about 15 minutes, they finally brought me my food. What really bothered me wasn't really the delay - I didn't mind waiting, but the complete lack of concern for my experience-- especially considering this restaurant charges more than many similar spots. The whole situation left a bad impression, and I walked away feeling disappointed and turned off. On top of that, they got my order wrong - they gave me chicken instead of beef! I probably won't go here again.

This is a takeout review. Overall, it was good but I'm not sure I'd order again based on the price. Bo-Lan Pad Thai ($13+2): My husband said this was a very standard pad Thai. He got it with tofu, and then added chicken for $2. Portion was good, noodles a lil overcooked, chicken was dry, but still delicious. Pad Eggplant ($14): was also good, I wished it had a little more basil flavor but it was also great as is. I also wish the portion was more. Pineapple Duck Curry ($21): this was my favorite. I liked the sweetness from pineapple, the curry flavor was a classic Thai curry, and it felt like there was actually a decent amount of duck. I ended up combining the eggplant with the curry sauce. The food came packaged securely. We also got little side of rice with the eggplant and curry (and I do mean little lol). Again, it was good, just nothing special. It might be worth for their early bird/lunch specials.

They have early bird dinner deal on weekdays from 5-7pm. A 3-course meal with drink for only $16 is insane! I think for the price you are getting a great meal! For first set, we chose thai tea, crab rangoon, green curry with beef, and coconut ice cream For second set, we selected fried tofu, drunken noodle with shrimp, and coconut ice cream. The protein in the main entree could be a few extra dollars on top of $16, but it will still come out to under twenty dollars for a dine in meal. We ordered some extra dishes and drinks to try such as squid legs, curry puff, Shirley pops drink, and fifty-50 drink as well. Squid legs is one of their most popular appetizers! Service is great and the interior has a warm and inviting atmosphere.

* Tipflation- when the suggested tip percentage doesn't match the suggested tip amount. Ambiance Simple and Elegant Nothing stands out too much. The place is small. Chairs are aged and wobbly. (maybe it was just mine) Service The staff was friendly and welcoming. I asked for suggestions and the staff made a good recommendation, food came out quickly. Food Thai ice tea - too much ice, but the flavor was perfect, it wasn't too sweet. Green Curry with Beef - Curry was ok, there was a slight kick. The flavor was balanced and wasn't too spicy where you destroy your palate. Decent amount of food. Roti with Massamun- Roti came out hot (I advise you to let cool down before eating). The Massaman Curry was on the sweet side almost No spicy. Wasnt too fond of the Roti, a little too greasy for me. Satay - the peanut dipping sauce is good but I feel the chicken skewers were slightly dry. Tom Yum Soup - Yeah it wasn't good. Too salty. The Braised Beef with Curry rice - probably the best dish of everything I mentioned so far. Curry Rice was perfect with its texture, flavor, and consistency. They gave you chilli sauce which helped step up the flavor. The Braised beef I got a bit of the fatty pieces but that doesn't take away from it being good. Lastly Mango with sweet sticky rice - if you never had it, try it. If you've had it before, need I say more? The sticky rice was good, not burnt or hard or anything. The mango's tangy sour balances with the condensed milk used on the sticky rice. Overall it wasn't a bad meal. But also didn't stand out. Being that my wife found out about this place on TikTok, I wasn't too wow'd.

Likes - delicious foods - service was nice - closed to (public transportation) bus, train and citibike - great early dinner promotion ( appetizer, entree, dessert + drink) $16 Monday-Friday 5-70pm Dislike None

Located on 30th Avenue in Astoria, my cousin and I found this cozy gem for a quick meal. Pochana is a trendy family-owned Thai establishment with an interesting lunch menu that includes an app and entree starting at $12. Upon arrival, the decor was simple. Their menu, although limited, was manageable and clear, making it easy to decide. For starters, we decided on the spring rolls (vegetarian fried rolls with plum dipping sauce) and garden salad (mixed green salad with peanut sauce). For our main meal, we opted for the pad see ew (fresh noodles, eggs, and Chinese broccoli) and mixed vegetables Thai wok fried rice. The food was very authentically flavorful, tasty, and all ingredients were fresh. The service was good, as the staff came over to refill our glass. The price is very good and is not overrated. We can recommend this place.

I really liked everything I had here! We did the early bird special and while the portions are on the smaller side, I think it's a perfect option for many people to get a full dinner experience at an amazing price. The pad Thai was good, loved the spring rolls and curry puffs. The coconut ice cream was also amazing! The service was great and even though the place was packed, we got our food very quickly. This is a small restaurant but still cozy.

Recently visited this spot and I highly recommend it. The tastes of the dishes are very authentic and I genuinely loved everything I tried. I went for the early bird special which comes with one appetizer, entree, drink and dessert. I ordered the pad thai which was really flavorful and the spring rolls were super crispy and yummy as well. Along with the food I got the thai iced tea! The dessert was a coconut ice cream with some peanuts on top. Also loved the bang bang shrimp and the mocktail options they offered as well!

Bold statement: probably the best Pad Thai I've had. It was so flavorful and had a good balance. My mom also agreed that this is the best Pad Thai we've tried (and she's very particular about food). Also got the Kee Mao--also delicious. The portion size seemed a little small, but maybe that's because we ate during lunch. Lunch special came with choice of app and we got spring rolls. Good but nothing to phone home about. Small place, better for 2-4 people rather than large parties.

Pochana is a solid spot for Thai food at a good price. It's one of my favorite little mom/pop style shops in Astoria. Even though the restaurant is small, it's clean and has cozy vibes. The food is reliably delicious. We order delivery from here and I've eaten in person. The presentation of the food when dining in is beautiful and the server was attentive. In addition to the tumeric chicken I'm also a fan of the pad see ew noodles with chicken and their pad kee mao (drunken noodles). They also have mocktails that are delicious combinations of flavors. I also really like their lychee Thai iced tea. Definitely recommend when you're feeling like having good Thai at a good price!

i think the best thing about this spot is their early bird deal: three courses for $16!! it's available mon-fri from 5-7pm (dine in only) and includes an appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink. and since they have such an extensive menu, you really do get to try a little bit of everything. - satay - som tum (papaya salad) - pineapple duck curry - chicken pad kee mao unfortunately we didn't sit for their early bird deal, but we'll definitely be back for it. we tried a glimpse of their menu but our favorites had to be the pineapple duck curry and pad kee mao. the portions were also way larger than expected!

Food is consistently good. However service a Is not. Sometimes I feel like the night service people are a bit stuck-up and they don't check on orders unless you ask. Ordered a Tofu Pad Thai (no meat) to go , took over 20+ minutes.

Really tasty Thai food! Some of the best in Astoria. Nice service when dining in. It's difficult to order take out from here though, as most of the parties they work with tack on lots of service fees!

Green curry was phenomenal. Service was fast and ambiance was great. Love this area in Astoria.

These days it's hard to find a place where you get your moneys worth. The food was delicious. We got the fried squid legs, pho, and Tom yum soup. They were all delicious. I'd say the service was average. Not great but not bad. The price though is fair for the taste, quality, and amount we got. I'd definitely go back and try their other dishes.
