The curry puffs, spring rolls, satay, pad Thai, and sausage fried rice were all outstanding." Another patron added, "I have been a fan of this place for a few years now. What got me hooked was one of their appetizer soups, with its clear, clean broth, cabbage, glass noodles, and chicken.

This place blew me away with flavor. Coming from queens I was wondering how good the Thai food in Suffolk would be. I am so lucky to have found this gem. We got the curry puffs, spring rolls, satay, pad Thai and sausage fried rice. Everything was outstanding
I have been a fan of this place for a few years now. What got me hooked was one of their appetizer soups, the one with clear, clean broth, cabbage, glass noodles, and chicken. I've tried many Thai restaurants, and this is quite authentic. The food is well seasoned and not too salty. Particularly, their curries are really solid and their noodles have a good texture and ratio of noodle to vegetable and meat. I enjoy their Thai iced tea, which has this distinctive, strong tea flavor. The quality here is consistent and I like the decor and atmosphere. They also do catering well when I ordered large trays of curry and noodles for my birthday. I think if you give them a try, you'll be pleased with the quality and experience.
Great Thai restaurant with dishes that you can’t find anywhere else. Portions are a bit small. Other than that the flavors are good.
Better than I remember it! I haven’t been to Phayathai since high school - over 15 years ago. Service The server was attentive, kind, and told us we could stay as long as we’d like. Food For appetizers, we got curry puffs and spring rolls. Very good. For the entree, I got the pad see ew with chicken. Not the best pad see ew I’ve had, but it was very good. Good sauce-to-noodle ratio and the portion was decent. Atmosphere The decor has been upgraded since I was last here, which, thinking about it… that makes sense. Of course they would change things in 15 years. Recommend? Yes. The fact that this place has been here for so long is an indication that the food is good.
We had dinner here with 4 persons and enjoyed it a lot. I can really recommend this restaurant.
