The owner is super friendly and tells you about the various products and how they do it in Thailand. We've been here many times. They've got hard to find Thai products and several fresh, locally made food like fried banana or banana wrapped in a banana leaf with rice. I come here to find concentrated liquid coffee with sugar that looks like a tall glass bottle. You can make your own Thai iced coffee with it at home with condensed milk or plant based milk. Support your local Thai community. Products are inexpensive, and It's fun to shop here, and she's got a cute kitten, too.

I love this store! I was in search for Holy Basil or Thai basil because I wanted to make Pad Ka Prow at home. I went to other Thai stores in Woodside and Elmhurst initially and none of them had fresh herbs so I decided give this shop a try. The place didn't look like much, but the owner is very sweet and provided me with a big bunch of fresh Thai basil from behind the counter. Although Holy basil was my first preference, she was out of it and told me to call her next time I need it and she will try to save some for me. She also gave me advice on how to make Thai food. I will definitely be going back to get some more items so I can cook more Thai food at home.

What a cool little shop! I spotted this shop the other night, but didn't have time to go inside . I've had my eyes on these coconut roll cookies for the past few months, and this little shop had it! I finally stopped by today and got them for $3! The shop is small but cute, they have many different products here and the price is amazing compared to the other shops in elmhurst. The coconut roll cookies were very tasty, and it's technically gluten free. I will definitely be stopping by here again for these cookies !

With the suggestions from the owner I made chicken laab for the first time and it was delicious. It took about 15 mins to make and all I needed was ground chicken, mix, fish sauce, mint and shallots. So good! Tell the owner what you want to make and she will tell you what to buy.

I have tried for YEARS to make pad kee mao (aka drunken noodles) at home. Me and my best friend both tried researching recipes online, tracking down hard to find ingredients, all to no avail. But tonight was different. Tonight, I did something great. The culinary powers that be smiled down upon me and a beautiful thing was the result. And it's all thanks to the lovely owner of this business. I had gotten up early on a Sunday and made it to Wong Kwong Hop for the fresh rice noodles, which was her first question when I walked in with my shopping list stating I was going to try my hand at the recipe. This store doesn't sell fresh rice noodles, you'll have to go elsewhere. I went to Hop, but she may be able to give you a source that's closer and also open to the public on weekdays. What I did buy from her was Golden Mountain sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, palm sugar, Thai chilies, and holy Thai basil. She was so sweet and helpful, she even snapped my photo with some of the ingredients! She asked me where I had gotten my recipe, and I told her (knowing it was the wrong answer) the NY Times. She laughed and shared with me a recipe from a book she has, and let me take a photo. I ended up combining the two recipes to create something magical. Without her guidance I don't think I would have gotten such a phenomenal result. I also bought some green tea ice cream, a Tom Yum ramen package, and basil flavored Lays. They also have prepared food that you can take and heat up, drinks, frozen Thai ice teas, candy, and a small seating area. It's like a cultural education center, so great to have this in the neighborhood. And they're open late! They owner says she'll sometimes stay open till midnight. Please go and try something new, you may embark on a new culinary adventure :) Cash only!

If you're looking for some weird Thai stuff, you shall find all of them here. Let me name a few: Holy Basil, Canned Black Mushrooms, Thai Bird's Eye Chilies, Fermented Crabs, Frozen Cockles, Frozen Rhizome, Turkey Berry (Solanum), Mortar and Pestle set and so on... And what I found today was the Water Minosa, a plant with white spongy air-conducting tissue that gives stems floating in water. I bought it and still have no idea what to do with it. Lol The owner is very friendly. Some stuff sells out fast, so you might wanna call ahead to check its availability. Too bad this place is cash only and a little pricey.

This shop is a small Thai grocery store tucked in between a church and a bar on Woodside Ave. Worth stopping by for Thai basil, ingredents, home-cooked food are available a the counter. Sound one cooking tasty Thai dishes and sell them here. There is a small sitting area at the front of the store if you was rest, have a drink and to eat. Thai Thai Grocery is also a community meeting place too. Sometimes you'll see a lot people.

I found this place courtesy of Rich W. My roommate was looking for Thai Basil and found it here! This grocery store is small and hold lots of hidden treasures. The lady who owns the store has a lot of knowledge and has a very matter of fact attitude... could be interpreted as Asian Tiger Mom type. She was trying to be helpful and gave my roommate (non-Asian) a lesson in cooking with Thai Basil. Hahaha! Just smile and nod your head until she is done talking, that's the respectful way (as taught by my own mother). Neat store if you are looking for any authentic Thai ingredients including fresh herbs!
