Halal Reviews for Chingri Astoria

Atmosphere was nice. Food was mid lacking Thai spices, flavor and aromatic elements which made it bland. Most dishes were just extremely salty, over fried and greasy. I did have good service and thought the prefix price was very fairly priced just the food was okay. We had drunken noodles, wings, vegi spring rolls, and dumpling soups. The fried banana and Thai iced teas were good.

I would recommend. Great service and attention to care. When I came in I was greeted by Alex. As a first timer I did not know the store was not open yet. But they were nice and took my order. Alex was nice and explained the menu with a great spirit. The chef was accommodate my request for my meal. I had a wonderful customer experience as a first timer and will swing by again if I’m ever in the neighborhood. Now about the food. We’ll seasoned. Fresh and hot. I like the spring roll sauce for dipping pairs well. The drunken noodles I got it spicy and swapped the Chinese broccoli for regular broccoli. I thought I wouldn’t be full but once I started eating I was stuffed! I will stop by again.

The server (Miriam) who seated us was so kind! The atmosphere is very calming in here. The spring rolls were delicious, however the rest of the food was mediocre. The chicken strips were bland. The chicken lollipop’s sauce was amazing. The salmon and the lamb were good but not worth a drive out for. The mocktails were extremely sour so I had to keep asking for a change. The green curry was not my favorite. The rice were bland as well. If you happen to be in the neighborhood then def try them out.

I’m giving this rating mostly for the service, it was good I could give 4 start but the food wasn’t that level. We order Atlantic salmon , Tiger shrimp, as appetizers fish cake and dumpling soup. Both main courses had over flavor as my opinion and the fish cake seems like didn’t had flavor. I couldn’t taste. I might go back to try different item .

Tl;dr: it’s okay, service is mediocre, menu descriptions incorrect, skimpy on protein. Flavors were good and the place is very clean! I was the only patron today for lunch at 1 pm. I was greeted promptly by the server, who was a younger woman and was very sweet. I was attracted by the sign outside advertising their $10.95 lunch special (+$ for protein). The restaurant is nicely decorated and it is clean, even the restrooms and the peak-through of the kitchen on the way to the restrooms. I was given the dinner menu and drink specials, but it was 1 pm and time for lunch. After requesting the lunch menu it was provided and I ordered Spicy Basil with Shrimp. Described as “Spicy Basil. Bell peppers, onions, chopped garlic. Thai basil, string beans. chili pepper, in a homemade brown sauce with your choice of protein served with jasmine rice” With your lunch you also chose from with 2 Spring Rolls or 1 Curry Puff. I went with the spring rolls and they were the highlight of the meal! Yum - well fried, with vermicelli inside that provided a nice bite. 😁 Although i ordered one dish I received another. I was given Spicy Basil Fried Rice with three small shrimp 🙁. Fortunately I was debating between these two dishes and maybe it was a sign that I needed more sustenance. The food was good, not very spicy and was overall balanced. I’d eat it again. My biggest issue is with the meager protein- i was charged $1/shrimp for some small pieces, disappointing. When I spoke to the server she was very apologetic- she was so sweet. It was an honest mistake - nbd. As a peace offering she gave me a free dessert - fried bananas. They were filled with cinnamon, stuffed in a wrapper, fried and covered in honey. Yum 😋
