"It may surprise some that this modest restaurant located under the train tracks between Jackson Heights and Elmhurst was recently awarded a Michelin Star. However, if you’ve ever eaten at Zabb Elee’s then you know it was well-deserved. Specializing in the bold and spicy flavors of Northeastern Thailand, the dishes here are fiery and intensely seasoned—a skillful blend of flavors that are at once salty, spicy and sour. We could recommend the beef salad or the duck larb or the grilled pork neck, but honestly everything on the menu is bangin. You literally can’t go wrong." - Diane Shaw
