At nine Lunch

First off I'd like to say that this is indeed the cheapest lunch I ever had and really enjoyed it as well!!

Lunch comes with app, entree and drink who can beat that and it's all for a measly 7.99!!!

Here is there take on spring rolls and a little salad on the side! yummerzz

My thai Ice tea did not disappoint at all!

The start is the entree... I had their coconut rice with veggie panang... OMG that is was bananas I almost ordered another to go home oh man. What really intrigued me was the rice.... it was the best part yum yum yum 

This is a nice hidden gem in times square. I highly suggest going here for lunch or happy hour!

One Thai Chef Lunch

A good Lunch on a warm November Work day!

Here we have an interesting Thai ice tea...what makes it interesting you might ask? Well... I swear they made it with coconut milk instead of evaporated or canned milk! It had a nice silky taste to it and was by far the best Thai Ice tea I've ever had In a while... Time to whip out my tea at home and recreate this masterpiece!!! 

Crispy Spring Rolls

8

mixed vegetable spring rolls with plum sauce

This was really good,..... the Sauce had an acquired taste though, but still really good....what ever you've had before it's basically the same here!

The White Rice

Green curry ( gang-keow-wan)

green curry with eggplant, bell pepper, carrot and basil With Veggies!

I asked the waiter to add some ginger in this along with the veggies because I needed another layer of flavor... It came out like this and I was super happy!!!

I kid you not... I ate it all up minus the green beans and the mushrooms....

I would go back here for lunch... the only complaint is that the wait staff are hiding in the back... So you don't know if they want you there or not... Oh well Happy eating!!!

Yum Yum Too Prefix/ Happy Hour

Thai Ice Tea Cocktail

This is a great drink... It had Bailey, Thai Ice tea, and a few other alcoholic items that made this drink everything... So good I had to get two!!!

                                                                    Shrimp & Crab Roll

shrimp, crab, manioc, taro, onion, pepper, garlic, clear rice noodle, tree ear mushroom, sugar, salt and rice net paper

You got this free with every cocktail you order! OMG so freaking good... Finally a shrimp and crab roll instead of a chicken and shrimp roll. The wrapping was my favorite of the entire roll... So good That I guzzled my drink just to get this app again (yes I'm greedy!)

I had this bottle of Wine a few years ago... relax Riesling is really nice, especially with the food we are about to intake! 

                                                                   Original Spring Roll

vegetable spring roll with carrot sauce

Not a bad Spring roll.... I saved a few for later... You will see why in a few....

                                                                        Crab Cake

homemade crab cake with spicy mayo sauce

I ordered this was amazed at the flavor that was packet in this dish. Barely any fillers, mostly crab in this cake and the dollop of sauce on top make it irresistible to my BF. It was a well executed dish here!

                                                             Coco Shrimp

delicious shrimp roll in coconut flake batter fried till golden brown with sweet & sour plum sauce

                                                       Galangal Coconut Soup

coconut milk galangal soup with bell pepper, mushroom and Vegetables

All these things included with an entree and desert!!! Sign me up Puhhlease!!

                The soup (made with out chicken) was super delightful, the salad and the dressing was good, and the coconut shrimp was a perfect marriage of flavors. 

                                                               Crispy Calamari

fried calamari with sesame chili vinegar sauce

The Sauce really did it for me! This was a great Calamari and Sauce combo that I've ever tried!

Plah Rad-Prik Red Snapper

22

fried fillet of red snapper topped with a sweet & spicy chili tamarind sauce on a bed of bok choy

This was a really really well prepared snapper.... Don't let the presentation fool you, the dish tastes better than it looks, what I really liked was that the fish was filleted really well and placed on the side of the fish... Yum Yum indeed. Great flavor and  spice... I might have to try and recreate this dish one day!

Green tea Ice Cream

This was a nice ending to a lengthy happy hour meal... Yes I was full Fast!

I love both the yum yum on this avenue for different reasons... I would suggest you guys give it a try!

These were good, not over stuffed and crunchy! 

Chive Pancakes

I thought I wouldnt see these again any wherre... You just have to try them to understand what I mean... Just like Scallion pancakes are amazing... These are the bomb.com

Thai Taste

AHHHHHHHHH

I found a great Thai place in Long island... if only you could see me doing the running man right now you'd laugh!!!

Green Tea Bubble Tea

This was a really good green tea drink. I haven't found bubble tea in LI and saw this and was blown away. You kind of get tired of the bubbles after a while and just want tea...

Thai ice Tea

This was so good we had 2 more of these each... I forgot about my bubble tea.

Chive Pancakes

Again another dish I don't find often in Thai restaurants, these are delicious. A great salty balance to it. Crispy outside, chewy inside... Oh how I love chives.

Spring Rolls

These spring rolls were light and fresh, mostly veggies and it was an amazing flavor combo with the fish sauce (not commonly used). 

Coconut Shrimp Yummerz

There wasn't enough of these Shrimp on the table!!! We both had two each and wanted more. Nice big size Shrimp...but 2 more would have been good. 

Steamed Muscles

These Muscles were colossal sized. I mean I wanted to take a shell and make a necklace out of it. That's how big they were. The broth was really nice, all the veggies in there really helped... It could have been a meal on it's own with some rice. 

Veggie Panang Curry

My BF's dish was really good. Nice kick to it... but too much of a few veggies he didn't like...

Veggie Fried Rice 

Not a fan... grat presentation, but it was a little bland. I had to stead a little of my BF's Panang sauce to put on my rice...

It was a really good experience here. i would def go back again and again, but not order all that food hahahahahaha.

Yum Yum Too Lunch

Yum Yum's other spot is pretty cool.

Here is the Thai Ice tea that I had. I really wanted a cocktail, but nothing was on special. That really sucked as I would have rather-ed ate at Yum Yum and had a drink there for cheap!! Oh well... this was a really good Thai Ice tea and I have no complaints about this.

For the first appetizer, I really miss coconut soup with chicken in it... so I tested the waters and asked for vegetables. It was the best suggestion I ever made!!! The veggies were fresh, and the soup was just divine... It was a bigger portion then that of it's other location.

The vegetable dumplings were really good. Nice sauce on the bottom and awesome veggies inside of it. The other appetizer options would have been great too if I ate meat... next time I'll go with a co-worker and see what they think of the food. 

The Panang here is totally different. They added a huge chunk of pumpkin in the middle of the curry. It was very very good. Something different at a sort of chain made me feel really really good. I would def have this dish again. 

The coconut shrimp was disappointing. It was just fried too long, or the oil needed to be changed. I could barely finish the dish, and yes I was hungry hence all that food. The flavor wasn't there for me either... oh well maybe next time. 

I would def come back here again and try other dishes. Till next time!!!

Siam Square u

Thai food in Lee Mass, 

Let's get right to it! 

We ordered a lot of food because we were hungry and my eyes are bigger than my stomach all the time.

GREEN CURRY With string beans, egg plants, red & green peppers, yellow squash, zucchini and basil leaves. 

This was the veggie version and we liked it. Not spicy at all though and was really rich and creamy because of the coconut milk they used. Oh what a great dish it was!!!

SIAMESE FRIED RICE

Delicious fried rice with chicken, shrimps, egg, onions, snow peas, green pea, baby corns, carrots, sweet corn, tomato, scallions and cilantro.

This rice was good. Over whelmed with veggies this is a great vegetarian dish to eat.

Oh my my my... the Coconut shrimp was out of this world. The fresh coconut flavors, and the sauce was my favorite dish of all the ones we tried that day!!! I wish I could take that recipe back with me to NY

ROLL “J”Vegetarian spring rolls, delicate and crispy. Served with sweet-sour sauce

These Spring rolls were different from what I've been accustomed to and really enjoyed it. hands down the second best dish we tried here. Same sauce as the shrimp.

Vegetable Panang 

Kind of disappointing to say the least. It was the most expensive thing they had and it came with no rice. My bill was mostly high  because of this dish (not a happy camper) We had to order and extra order of rice... (they thought the veggie rice was plenty rice) Did I mention I had a CARB love affair......

Thai Lotus Wine Yummerzzz

This was a really good glass of wine, and the funny thing is that they actually have this bottle in my local wine store (picked up a bottle on my way back home the next day) 

Here's the Wine menu if you are interested in the name/brand of the other ones.

Their Thai Ice tea was on point as well.... cannot complain here either.

All in all, we were happy we found a place with decent food, our other options weren't very promising. We would def go back again, but might only order a few of what we had this day!!! Till next time!!!

Qi Bangkok

Lunch at Qi

I was looking for Thai food near my job and didn't want to travel far to get it. On my google search I found one just a block away and the lunch special is what really drew me in!

Here we have a chicken/shrimp dumpling that is steamed! This was a free appetizer that comes with every lunch special. There are different options but I chose the other one (below a few pictures). Oh boy was it good!  I loved the fresh cilantro and the sauce it came with. I was really surprised it came with 4 dumplings instead of just 2.

 

This beautiful drink here was free due to the long wait we had to endure on our lunch trip. Although it was lunch time, there was only one waiter and more than 50 people  seated. It is normally $1.50 with your lunch special and $2 with out. this was a Thai Ice tea for those of you who may not know!

 

The decor was really interesting. I had to take a picture of the fixtures while I waited for my food to arrive. I read a few reviews on how the decor was a bit weird. I wouldn't really say weird but it's more or less eye catching.

 

My friend ordered the spicy Thai basil sauce with chicken. it was pretty good.. He didn't complain!  

 

My lunch combo was Excellent! I got the fried chicken/shrimp dumplings. Although I liked the steamed ones, I loved the fried ones even better. They were both different and I could definitely eat both all over again! 

 

I ordered the Green curry (my usual suspect when I try out a Thai place) I usually judge them on the spice level. It was that, and I needed something to clear my sinus pressure :) It was really good!!! 

Sometimes you may find that thy give you more eggplant than chicken, but it was really balanced. I for once was really full after this lunch adventure.  

 

 For the main dish and the appetizer per person it averaged about $8 bucks. Please tell me where your getting all of that food in mid-town for that cheap and good! 

There are other things on the menu that i would love to try on another adventure but till then Happy eating!!!

 I highly recommend going here after 2PM for lunch if you can wait that long :)
