    Don't let the empty inside fool you! Go in and try it! The seating was closed during the pandemic and recently opened a few weeks ago. They do tons of online orders. The food and service is great. Try the curry samosas for an appetizer and the sticky rice for dessert (ask if the mango is ripe). My husband orders the Drunken Noodles with Duck and adds mushrooms. They give a great portion of meat. I also modify my Basil Chicken by adding Broccoli and no peppers. Chicken is always tender and never rubbery like I've had in other places.

    A healthy alternative to Chinese food, with lower salt. The dishes Pad Thai and Gai pahd nai ga-paw and fried calamari were superior for take out food. I would rate it at 4 Stars!

    Was craving Thai food so I checked this place out. I have had pad Thai from many different restaurants and this made me question if it was actually even pad Thai. Tasted extremely bland. Kale, tomatoes, broccoli, baby corn, and carrots were in it and made it taste more like Chinese food. Also the serving size was small compared to most places I’ve been. It wasn’t bad, but was not what I expected when ordering. Lastly as someone who lived in Thailand for a few months this is nothing near “authentic”. I will not be back

    The food here was amazing. The food was hit and fresh and fairly fast considering only one waiter. The flavors were perfect and the portions were large.

    Galanga has wide variety of the most delicious Thai food, prepared exquisitely with the finest healthy ingredients, well portioned, reasonably priced & cooked to perfection! The server/waiter was most attentive to the needs of our family of 5! He had the nicest personality, brought out our meals in a timely fashion, gave us extra napkins & quickly filled our glasses of water. The atmosphere was most relaxing, the decor was gorgeous & the bathroom was immaculate. Highly recommend to everyone!!!

    Great Thai food. Not too spicy. Attentive service. Can't go wrong here.

  • 2/5 Sonya D. 10 months ago on Google
    It smelled like dirty mop water when we walked in. Food was ok but not spectacular. Decent prices. I only went and started because I was in a group that was very hungry.

  • 5/5 Eric R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, as always . As vegetarian, they have many dishes that I can choose from.The rice paper spring rolls and vegetable dumplings are my favorite. I usually have to prepare my food because of my strict diet. However, when I need a break from preparation, I always choose this restaurant

    They serve good food. we ordered pad se yu and sesame chicken. I noticed that the server needs to practice smiling and be more friendly. He talks like he is always in a rush (not trying to be rude), but as a customer, you want you also to be more comfortable when talking to the server, especially when ordering. Also, I asked for thai tea and asked to make it creamier (cause every time I order it online, it's just awful, so i said make it creamier), but it was still no good. I've been trying different thai tea, but this one is not in my liking. it's bitter and tastes like water. Maybe ya'll need to try your tea and find what's missing in your recipe.

    Such a relaxing vibe. Surpassed my expectations. Thank You.

    Really lowkey Thai food location with great service. Lunch specials are great Monday - Saturday 11-3. Every authentic Thai dish I can think of available. A real hidden gem for fans of Thai food

  • 3/5 Tiff P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious. Thai tea was watery and bitter. The service was poor. The price was reasonable.

  • 4/5 Abhishek N. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic thai food! We tried the following and overall the food was good; especially the Basil Fried Rice.. ..Basil Fried Rice. ..Green Curry(Veg) ..Veg Dumplings This quiet place is easy to miss among the other busting restaurant in the vicinity but don't let the appearance hold you back. Recommended!!

    Ordering online was easy and pickup was also easy. Restaurant looked clean and the staff was pleasant. Unfortunately the food just wasn’t good. We ordered the shrimp dumplings and spring rolls as an appetizer. Dumplings were incredibly over cooked and the shrimp was rock hard. The spring rolls were good and still very crunchy despite the 7 minute drive home. The drunken noodles completely lacked flavor. But honestly the most offensive dish was the lar nard which is rice noodles and broccoli in a brown bean oyster gravy. I got mine with steak. I’ve had this dish at dozens of Thai restaurants over the years and have never had lar nard this bad. The dish barely filled the container. The sauce was thick to the point where it was almost a paste and the worst part about it is that it was sickeningly sweet. For the life of me, I can’t tell why a black bean oyster sauce was made sweet at all, but it was like they dumped an entire cup of sugar in it. I wouldn’t go back again based on that alone. Not every dish should have an obscene amount of sugar in it.

    Environment ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Server ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Food ⭐️ The food are really not “Thai” at all, compared to many Thai restaurants in NYC, even Long Island. Thai tea taste so watery, it’s not thick and creamy, I already can tell when they bring the Thai tea to the table, and it’s EXACTLY what I think, lack of flavor. Pineapple coconut fried rice, way too sweet, and the rice has some sort of smell. Chinese broccoli with chicken, the sauce was way too sweet as well, can’t even eat it.. Appetizers fried tofu and calamari was greasy, looks like the fried temperature wasn’t high enough The price is cheap, and I understand that’s what I get for, but non of these food I will give a star, it’s a great location and nice environment, but if they can’t even make the food right, the owner should considered hire someone who really know how to cook Thai food, and it’s a huge disappointment that all the drink and food on our table, non of them was good.. I give two stars because of the server was nice…

    Wonderful experience, the food is always delicious. The price to quantity of food is well balanced and the customer support is friendly. 4 year customer.

  • 3/5 Pranothi M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to this place based on recommendations from friends but was disappointed. Samosa was really good. Dumplings were okay. Ordered mint fried rice and basil fried rice. They were not upto the standard of Thai food at all.

  • 5/5 Jeny T. 2 years ago on Google
    A very cozy place. Waiter Andy was very nice and friendly. We had a good time. The only critique was all the food tasted a little too sweet, doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it coz it was very flavourful. Definitely will go back.
