replying to u/elitejun: you had me at Thai. Mad for chicken looks amazing too might head up there tomorrow, but Thai is definitely on the menu now tonight!!! I can't believe I haven't checked playground out before didn't even realize it was right here. Looks soooo good & i love spicy. Thank you!!! What do you like getting from Koliba?? Gonna stop by for a late lunch on wednesday for a brew and some food.
“I like the various cold soups (have it to stay and ask for them to add ice to it, the pink one w/ red blobs is my favorite, the red blobs are like mochi w/ water chestnut pieces inside), tokyo pandan (pancakes w/ pandan custard), and the little coconut/pandan pudding things.”

“Their boat noodle soup has this hearty broth packed with rice noodles, shrimp, fish balls, and roasted pork, exactly what you want after a cold walk through Queens. Get the Kanom Buang (Thai coconut crepe) while they're just come out from the griddle - gooey coconut filling contrasts with the the crispy shell, I can easily finish half a dozen on one go.”

replying to u/seashellsnyc: Khao Nom for Thai desserts and drinks. Elm Roastery for coffee and baked goods.
“absolutely go to Khao Nom for the krong krang krob, these fried crackers that they keep in plastic clamshells by the register. They're peppery and sweet, from palm sugar and coconut milk, and about as habit forming as honey butter or sour cream and onion”

replying to u/RamenIsDelicious: I always recommend Jackson Heights in Queens for questions like this, since it has a lot of good inexpensive food options and some more variety than you might find in one of the Chinatown areas (which are also great options). It's also easily accessible on the 7 train, which, depending on where you are in Brooklyn, might be easy to connect to from the G train. Here is a general itinerary I've posted before and done with a couple of groups of friends with some variations: * Start with Nepali beef broth-covered jhol momos at **Nepali Bhancha Ghar** ($10 for 8 large dumplings, plus tax and tip), which was the 4x consecutive Momo Crawl winner until 2022, and/or Tibetan beef momos at **Phayul** a couple of blocks away ($8 for 8, plus tax and tip), which also serves noodle soups or, my favorite, a radish and chili beef soup that is wonderful in cold weather; * Get tacos al pastor at the taco truck **Antojitos Charly** right on the other side of Roosevelt Boulevard from Nepali Bhancha Ghar (two tacos for $6); * Walk a bit down Roosevelt to the Japanese cafe **969 NYC Coffee** for some matcha and a fried oyster "onigirazu" (large nori-wrapped rice sandwiches) ($4 for a large matcha and $6 or $7 or so for the oyster onigirazu if I remember right); and * Walk further down Roosevelt to get some Mexican ceviche, aguachile and beers at **Mariscos El Submarino** ($21 for a large serving of aguachile mixto that can easily serve 2-3 people, $6 for a bottle of beer). Some other options, al…

replying to u/Cheezfri: Yes!! I'm in love with Jackson Heights. Please OP, I'm begging you to take this advice. Check out this previous thread about Jackson Heights. But if there is one place in Jackson Heights, I LOOOOOOOVE the most is Momo Crave. The momos are so good, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A must try! https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/12v9f4s/comment/jhad5ge/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

in:Queens Thai food destroys Manhattan26 pts
replying to u/jaded_toast: I think that I would expect that if an average Queens restaurant opened up a location in Manhattan that that location would then also start charging Manhattan prices because they'd be paying Manhattan rent. To each their own, but I found Ayada to be disappointing when I tried them. Everything I got was so watery, not just in taste but also drowning in very thin sauce. And I might get downvoted for this, but while I really, really enjoy SriPraPhai, to me, they've always been a good quality place that is consistent and dependable, but I don't think I would have categorized them as "next level".
