"Kitchen 79 is a neighborhood go-to. The food never disappoints so feel free to order absolutely anything knowing you can't go wrong here. They offer the classics as well as some Southern dishes that you don't see as often. The sleek interiors include a curiously amazing wall sculpture that is worth a closer look. Co-owners Rudee and Thawatchai are welcoming, lovely hosts. If it's available ask them to seat you at the booth by the window. Their lunch menu gets you two courses for about 8 bucks. Some stand-out dishes include Geoy Nam-perfectly garlicky chicken broth soup with silky chicken dumplings and bok choy, or try one of their southern style curries, something you rarely find elsewhere." - Diane Shaw
"Kitchen 79 in Jackson Heights has a massive menu ranging from Northern to Southern Thai, with everything from crispy soft shelled crab and baked spare ribs chili sauce to plenty of different soups (which you should get). Pickup and delivery start at 11:30am, and you can order online." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"When Kitchen 79 says something is spicy, they mean it. I would rather pass out into my food, face first, than admit to my server that the Thai food is too spicy." - Aaron Hutcherson
"Kitchen 79 has a massive menu with dishes from both northern and southern Thailand, including noodles, curries, and a very wide selection of other options - like a whole red snapper cooked in lime and chilis that you should definitely eat. Aside from the food, the string lights, full bar, and top 40 music make this a fun choice for a meal with friends or a casual weeknight dinner." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
