Casual joint featuring Thai meals over noodles or rice, plus a narrow space that has a patio.
"This cozy, brightly colored Thai restaurant has a narrow indoor area that managed to fit in a full bar, as well as a romantic back garden with a fountain and pond. What is fundamentally hawker food, like yum woon sen (glass noodle salad), doesn’t skimp on flavor and heat. Signature boat noodles, thickened with pig blood, offer the option of four types of noodle dunked in a deep bath of pork, beef, or just vegetable broth. On the table, caddies of vinegary peppers, sugar, chili and garlic allow diners to customize their dishes." - Eater Staff
"Unlike a lot of Astoria’s outdoor dining options, Pye Boat Noodle has its very own, beautiful backyard that’s hidden away from the street. This Thai restaurant serves some excellent noodle soups, and great appetizers like deep-fried quail eggs and chive pancakes. There’s also a blender behind the bar, and they use that to make tiki drinks (which you should order)." - hannah albertine
"We’d recommend this place for a weeknight dinner with a friend regardless of whether it’s pants-wearing or shorts-wearing weather - but this back patio is one of best places to eat in Astoria when it’s warm outside. There’s some nice shade, and a little garden in the middle of everything that might make you wish you had flower beds in your apartment. Get some boat noodles (which come with either beef or pork, in a broth with pork rinds, and meatballs on top) and some chive pancakes to split for the full Garden-Of-Eden-In-Astoria effect." - hannah albertine
"Soup is good and comforting, and we’d like to nominate it for dish of the week. If you need some, call Pye Boat Noodle in Astoria. Their boat noodles—with three kinds of pork in a fragrant broth—are especially worthwhile, but they also serve a few other soups, as well as some stuff like pad kee mao and dumplings. Call 718-685-2329 or order online here. Note that Pye Boat Noodle also has a great backyard for outdoor dining in Astoria." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"Pye Boat Noodle in Astoria makes some exceptional Thai food, and, unsurprisingly, we’re fans of their boat noodles. But if for some reason you don’t want a big bowl of warm noodles in a slightly sweet broth with pork rinds and meatballs, there are a bunch of other options like pad kee mao and fried wings as well. Call 718-685-2329, or order online." - team infatuation
