Molly Fitzpatrick reviews SriPraPhai, a Woodside Thai restaurant that has been a pioneer in bringing authentic Thai cuisine to NYC for over 30 years, praised for its bold flavors and classic dishes.
This Thai establishment in Queens has been a culinary pioneer for over 30 years, bringing authentic flavors to NYC. It's lauded for its extensive menu, featuring standout dishes like a rich green curry, flavorful papaya salad, and perfectly braised pork leg over rice. While it has expanded and now offers a full bar, it retains its charm and commitment to traditional Thai tastes, making it a must-visit for Thai food enthusiasts.
