    My favorite of the Elmhurst/Woodside Thai restaurants. One of only two spots in NYC to find miang kana, so order that. Also, the crispy catfish salad is best in class.

    The miang kana + chinese broccoli with fried pork are must gets. Be prepared for your lips to be on fire if you order their fried fish with spicy shrimp paste.

    The curry has a lot of coconut cream so its pretty sweet. I love it but my husband is not a fan. It's open pretty late so I always enjoyed a late snack there.

    This was my second visit since my fist my here was very pleasant. Pad Thai and Tom yum was moderately good but the Red Chicken Curry very disappointing.

    It's my first visit food was very tasty and cheap. Tom yum soup and Basil Beef w/ rice just for $16. Good portions.

    Noodles at Ploy Thai come in thick, triangularly-cut sections that taste fresh and "rice-y," with more heat than sweetness.

    Signature appetizer is miang kana, a stack of teardrop-shaped Thai broccoli leaves served beside a crunchy, chewy, and altogether invigorating dice of raw ginger, chiles, peanuts, onion, lime, pork

    "Miang kana bundles together fresh ginger, red onion, roasted peanuts, toasted coconut, dried shredded pork, fish sauce, palm sugar and lime juice with betel or Chinese broccoli leaves" ($9.95). Read more

    Order the nam kao tod salad special. Not on the menu but delicious: pork sausage and big rice croutons, quite spicy.

    NYMag likes the pad kee mao noodles, and the chicken larb, "which doesn't stint on chile heat or fish-sauce funk".
