"This Thai institution in Woodside is well worth a visit for the food—especially the green curry and the pork leg over rice—but the backyard is notably beautiful, with ample seating, colorful flowers, and even a fountain. Make sure to take advantage of SriPraPhai’s homemade ice cream on a warm summer’s day." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"SriPraPhai is the pioneer that paved the way for New York City’s many excellent Thai restaurants. More than three decades since it opened, you can still count on this Woodside institution to deliver bold yet balanced flavors and dishes from all over Thailand, from the northern signature khao soi, to a particularly great version of the street-food classic pork leg over rice. Order widely from the 38-page spiral-bound menu, but plan on coming back for more, especially when you can sit in the backyard in the summer." - bryan kim, arden shore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"This once-BYOB Thai institution in Woodside now has a full bar, but you can still bring your own wine for $7.50, or even your own liquor (starting at $15 a bottle, depending on size). Bring something that’ll play nice with the must-order green curry—and bonus points for a summery-feeling beverage, appropriate for sipping in SriPraPhai’s sunny backyard." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"A hotly sought-after dining perch, this popular Thai restaurant’s back patio offers more than 40 seats and is styled with a fountain and colorful flowers. It’s the perfect setting to catch a breeze and cool off from the heat of the fiery curries and regional dishes." - Shivani Vora
"There's no shortage of excellent Thai food in Queens, but this is the pioneer that paved the way. Former nurse Sripraphai Tipmanee opened her Woodside restaurant in 1990 to serve fellow immigrants, but soon found a broad fanbase for her green curry with perfectly firm eggplant, and lightly fried soft-shell crabs. The restaurant has since expanded into a bigger space with a beautiful back garden. The 38-page, spiral-bound menu is as thick as an iPhone with dishes from all over Thailand. Lately, we've enjoyed their version of the street-food classic pork leg over rice. Fried soft-shell crab, green curry duck, drunken noodles, pork leg over rice" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
