Thai food is my weakness so I am glad to find Pochana. They have an early bird special for only $16! You get an appetizer, entree, drink, and dessert. The entree portion was generous! They also have many options so it will cater to every palate. The service is friendly and quick in this cozy establishment! This is a must try!

We saw their $16 early dinner special (from 5-7pm), which included an appetizer, entree, dessert, and a drink. I got the steamed dumplings, which reminded me of siu mai. It came with a soy/chili/vinegar sauce and was delicious! For the entree, I got the green curry with chicken ($2 extra). The flavour was good but the curry was a bit runny. For dessert, everyone gets the icecream with coconut shavings. Service was extremely fast but they also want for you to finish your meal ASAP. We felt a bit rushed and were served our dessert before we even finished our main course. Of course, the bill came before we even finished our dessert. Despite feeling rushed, the deal itself is pretty unbeatable, and I'll come back next time I'm looking for a quick meal.

Ate here today for lunch and dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q. I had ordered and couple of the lunch special such as a complimentary appetizer I chose which is vegetable egg rolls and first my entree I chose Thai fried rice and ask to add shrimp and another dish I ordered grandma's pork chops with rice and for dessert I got mango sticky rice that I got full after eating it of how delicious it was, thristy and quenched when I drank my Thai Iced Tea to go. The service there was also attentive and super fast. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

They have a $16 course meal which includes an appetizer, entree, ice cream, and iced thai tea/coffee. It is only available from 5-7pm on weekdays. They were very busy but always had just enough seats. I ordered the crab rangoon as an appetizer which is pretty good. My friends ordered their tum yum soup. The chicken in the soup is supposedly very dry but otherwise tasted good. I ordered thai see mao. Would recommend. Friend ordered thai see ew which turned out to be sweeter than expected. Thai ice tea - very very sweet Ice cream with coconut and peanut topping. Good, would recommend.

Did someone say $16 for a 3 course meal and a drink!!! Sign me up! This type of deal is unheard of! This was definitely a great bang for our buck. You will definitely be full (but at the same time the menu has a lot of carb items) Please note, default, the dishes don't come with meat, but you can pay a little extra for the meat to be added. We added chicken to each dish and they definitely did not skim out on the meat. We ordered: Drinks: Thai Coffee Thai Iced Tea Appetizers: Tofu Fries Dumplings Tom Yum Entree: Pad Thai Red Curry Thai Fried Rice Dessert: Coconut Ice Cream Even though, it is generic Thai food. Overall, I am very content with my meal. For this price, I can't complain at all. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a little small and it gets quite packed, since everyone is rushing there to get the deal. So you should check it out too!

4.5 stars!! Went for the lunch special and I think it's so worth it. This place has always been cute and I love coming here. Only knocked off half a star because the tom yum was just okay that day. Nothing will ever compare to my moms But the pad kee mao didn't piss me off like most places. I love how they do it here. Also, the staff is always nice

Pros: I visited around 1 PM and ordered the pad kee mao with chicken. The dish was priced at $13, with a $2 extra charge for chicken, which I found reasonable. It was very delicious, served in a good portion, and the spice level was perfect for my tastebuds. Their Thai iced tea was also very good & reasonably priced at $5. The food came out fairly quickly, and the servers were very polite. Con: The service was a bit slow, so I had to actively get the server's attention as they weren't very attentive.!

I was nervous to try this place out because I have my staple Thai places that I frequently go to but my friend recommended we go as she's gone before and stated that she enjoyed it! I agreed to go and we ended up arriving during the dinner special which is Mon-Fri between the hours of 5 PM - 7 PM ($16) (extra $ for protein) - I was shocked at how great of a deal it was! I got spring rolls as my appetizer, pad see ew with chicken as my main course & it was pretty tasty! The portions were normal as well! My favorite was the homemade coconut ice cream to top off the meal! The service was quick, the place itself is on the smaller side but still a comfy setting! I will definitely be back!

CHEAP EATS ALERT!!! Pochana is a family style hole-in-the-wall thai restaurant in Astoria, offering $16 EARLY BIRD DINNER SET for an appetizer, entrée, dessert and drink. It is almost impossible to get a 3-course dinner for this price in an expensive city like NYC!? Each course comes in reasonable portion and everything tastes homey and delicious. My personal favorites were crab rangoon (creamy filling wrapped in thin crispy wonton), pad see ew (we licked clean the plate, and the shrimps were bouncy!), and Som Tum (refreshing). For drinks, their thai iced tea was very legit. The halloween mocktail was so spooky and creative!! It made me wanna try their other halloween specials on the menu. Last but not least, their new Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was another highlight. It was made of sticky rice, coconut ice cream, whipped cream with toasted coconut. We were surprised by how sweet and ripe the mangoes were. What we got for our Early Bird Sets: - Crab Rangoon* - Tom Yum Soup - Pad See Ew with Shrimp** - Green Curry with Chicken - Homemade Coconut Ice Cream - Home Brewed Thai Ice Tea* Salad: - Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad)** - Larb Gai (Minced Chicken Salad) Mocktails: - Spooky Halloween - Ginger Fizz Dessert: - Mango Sticky Rice Sundae*
