“ This meal was genuinely life changing. I had the privilege of tasting most the items on the menu, and the Massaman curry (not pictured) was one of my favorite dishes - the cloves and cinnamon brought a warm spiced taste that was so comforting. The gaiyang chicken was absolutely to die for, quite literally the best chicken I have had in my life. Chef Kae is extremely talented, if you have the chance to experience her cooking you won’t regret it! ”
“ Absolutely delightful and thoughtful food! Loved every detail, from the fried basil leaves on the drunken noodles to the splash of coconut milk and chile peppers on the chor muang. New favorite in Buffalo! ”
“ I’m mad that I’m just finding this place the week before I move out of Buffalo. Best Thai food I’ve had in my 4 years in Buffalo. Hole in the wall place but delicious food :) ”
“ Visited Tiny Thai for lunch with my thai wife, who herself is an excellent cook of her home cuisine. We ordered som tum(papaya salad), khao soi, and pad gapow moo(pork). We were both pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the chef Kae's cooking. This was by far the best restaurant thai food we have eaten outside of Thailand. Please don't miss this gem in Buffalo! ”
“ First time and food was amazing!! We have tried different Thai food places in Buffalo but this place beats everyone! We requested spicy, and they delivered!! Also drinks were so aesthetically pleasing on top of the great taste!! Was shocked to know they didn’t have many customers, this is truly a hidden gem in buffalo!! ”
“ I visited Tiny Thai today after seeing the restaurant be featured on the news. I was hopeful for a positive dining experience and was not disappointed! The owner was gracious and welcoming. I loved the open layout and clean, organized kitchen. I had the drunken noodles and I was impressed by the fresh vegetables that were slightly charred. The sauce was not overpowering, it was well balanced. The presentation was beautiful and I highly recommend Tiny Thai. I also visited Flat 12 mushroom store and grabbed bagels from Logan's Bagels. What a cool space for all the businesses! ”
“ One of the best things about Bangkok is you can pick most any random hole in the wall place and they will give you amazing food. That’s how I felt when I stumbled upon Tiny Thai. Absolutely amazing and authentic flavors. The mango sticky rice made me think of faraway places I used to call home. All the praise from the other reviews is truly well deserved. Well done! ”
“ We took a leap of faith, AND WE ARE SO GLAD THAT WE DID! This place was perfect! We went on a quiet night and happened to be the only ones dining in. We sat down and were immediately greeted with a cup of “water” or “coconut water” , not sure but it was a great way to start the meal. We ordered the chicken satay and the crab rolls to start- both were absolutely delicious! I ordered pad Thai and she ordered the staple fried chicken. Both were outstanding. We washed it all down with a “Thai tea”. AND THEY HAVE THAT GOOOOOD ICE(IYKYK!) We haven’t had good authentic ethnic food in a long time. 5/5 10/10, 3/3 Michelin Stars!! ”
