Pix From Four Thai Restaurants in Astoria and Woodside
Steak Laos at Thai Pavilion is an exercise in upscaling fusion, pretty to look at and tasty, too, but lacking a certain zing.
Last week Counter Culture assayed a quartet of unfamiliar Thai restaurants located somewhat off the beaten path in Astoria and Woodside. While some extended our understanding of food from Isaan and Chiang Mai, others reproduced the diverse urban cuisine of the capital, which has had some Japanese dishes interpolated within the last few years. Every restaurant we visited had some worthwhile dishes. However, we ended up favoring two of the places, both relative newcomers: Thailand's Center Point and Rumphool.
Pork "pick king" at Arharn, flavored with shredded lemongrass, tasted positively Laotian.
We loved the "crispy fried whole fish with basil sauce" at Thailand's Center Point.
