Tom yum broth, Yentafo broth, Garlic fried rice
What Makes it Special: AYCE Thai hot pot with broths that taste distinctive.

7.6
A Queens Blvd Thai menu built for big, familiar flavors with enough breadth to cover noodles, soups, and shareables for a mixed group. It’s most reliable when you order around the greatest hits—one spicy soup, one noodle, and one grilled item—so the meal stays punchy instead of scattered.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tom yum noodle soup, Tiger cry steak, Pad see ew
What Makes it Special: A broad Thai menu that’s best when you order the classics with intention.
