“My original thinking when we opened the restaurant was to serve the local Thai community in Elmhurst,” says Chunton. “Clearly I underestimated New York City’s appetite for Northeastern Thai food. We now have five locations across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan and are so proud to represent Thai food and culture in New York City.”

    So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood! Came for lunch for the first time and everything was excellent!! The food was delicious! We shared the zucchini chips and they were crispy, not soggy or oily which you sometimes get at other restaurants. The grilled octopus was so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I had the salad which was very tasty with the grilled onion. My friend had the grilled vegetable panini and she said it was delicious! I'll be a repeat customer for sure!!

    This was not our first visit to Mythos. They were busy but it took a good 10-15 minutes for someone to come by to take our drink order. Additionally, the wait staff does not tell you about off menu offerings unless you specifically ask. The food has always been great but the service, although friendly and polite, needs some polish.
