πΉπ NYC's Best Value Thai Food | Pochana Thai in Astoria
Hidden in Astoria just steps from the yellow line, Pochana Thai is a true neighborhood gem β incredibly affordable, generous in portion, and full of flavor. During happy hour, you can get an appetizer + main + drink for just $16β¦ honestly, how do they make money? π π€ Shrimp Pad Thai β A standout! Chewy noodles, plump shrimp, and well-balanced seasoning (though a bit salty near the end). Even non-pad-thai lovers will enjoy this. π¦ Crab Rangoon Creamy, cheesy filling in crispy wrappers β not real crab, but delicious nonetheless. π₯ Spring Rolls Crispy and meaty, served with a tangy dipping sauce. π¦ Bang Bang Shrimp Crispy fried shrimp with a tasty glaze β a bit oily but satisfying. π² Tom Yum Soup A lighter, simpler take on the classic β decent but not mind-blowing. π₯ Beef Green Curry Tender beef in a spicy green curry β good but not exceptional. π¨ Coconut Ice Cream Creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet β a perfect finisher. The place fills up quickly, so try to arrive early or during off-hours. For the price, taste, and portions, Pochana Thai is absolutely worth the trip to Astoria! π Pochana Thai β Astoria, NYC π° Around $20β$30 per person #PochanaThai #AstoriaEats #NYCThaiFood #BestValue #HappyHourNYC #PadThaiLove #NYCEats #AffordableEats #FoodieFind #NYCRestaurants #HiddenGem
