When in Bangkok

“This is a hidden gem. From the outside, you cannot tell how amazing it looks inside. Very clean and modern design and very warm welcoming vibe. We came as a party of 8 and they were able to accommodate that on the same day , on a Sunday! The restaurant was bustling and filled with tons of people, especially on their spacious patio. The appetizers were delicious!!! I have no pictures of them because we all devoured it within seconds. We had the crab wonton, the branzino roll, tom yum wings and fresh oysters. Everything was super tasty and fresh! Staff was attentive and we didn’t need to call them for anything. They were always walking by and watching the table. The entrees were a large enough portion and also very unique and fresh. I did not like my ramen, ( khao sim) I believe was the name. It was a heavy base and lacked acidity and the noodles were gummy. Every other entree was amazing. The pad Thai with the beef definitely was filling and cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend trying this place.”

“First visit after many friends suggested and it lived up to all the hype. W.I.B is a great addition to the area. We were warmly greeted by the host for lunch, from there it was all superb. The entire drink list, food, service and cleanliness of this restaurant must be commended. In short, absolutely worth the trip. No doubt we will be back for dinner service soon.”

“I had such a great experience at When in Bangkok in Flushing. The space is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed night out, especially during colder days. We started with drinks, and they were creative and refreshing. From there, we ended up ordering a full spread — the ribs and braised pork leg were definitely standout dishes, super flavorful and comforting. The tom yum ramen hot pot was perfect for the weather, and the Thai beef fried rice was also really well done. We also tried dessert (mango mousse cake and coconut pandan sundae), and it was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, the food felt authentic and well-balanced, and the vibe made us want to stay longer. It really does feel like a little taste of Bangkok in Queens. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid Thai spot in Flushing.”

“Great experience at When in Bangkok! The Zabb Wings were super flavorful and crispy. The Tom Yum soup was perfect for a cold day — warm and comforting. The cocktails were beautiful and delicious, and the Thai tea was a must. If you love duck, don’t miss the pineapple curry duck — such a great combination of sweet and savory. Highly recommend!”

“I was drawn to this place because they’re owned by the same owners of Malii (was a fan of their first branch in UES 2nd Ave then they added Gramercy). I’ve tried both takeout and dine out by now. The dine in experience last week was far better than the takeout experience a couple of weeks back. Food tasted better and tasted consistent to the same food I’ve tried at Malii. For dine in last week, we tried their Mango based rum drink each and luckily made it to their Happy Hour time so was charged $8 less, a good deal. We got their Zaab Zaab wings which were good and ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Panang Curry in Beef. Crab Fried rice was pretty yum with actual chunks of crab meat while the Panang Curry tasted just okay. Hope they can work on that. I also ordered Thai iced tea which was very watery and somehow tasted like medicine, they didn’t charge me for it and I appreciated the gesture. Looking forward to try them again and hoping their taste profile can be as good and consistent as Malii. Service was warm and friendly, thanks for that! :)”
