Enthaice

Apart from being very cleverly named, Enthaice delivers on its promise to bring the rich flavors and spices of Thailand to Astoria.

Enthaice has notably replaced a couple of restaurants and cafes before it, though this Thai spot doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. It has gathered quite a local following and has been around as long as we remember. Expect a line out the door and every table to be occupied during peak meal times.

When you manage to snag a table, notice the intriguing decor. Did we mention the chandelier is made from cutlery?!

A delicious and generously sized dinner for two comes out to around $30. We decided on the mock fish. This is one establishment that manages to do it very well. The textures and the savory flavors are really something to write home about. We also had the fresh summer roll and a vegetable fried rice. The portion sizes were generous without making us too full for dessert.
