"Only cash/Venmo operation. Very cozy corner, with a wonderful women's team. The server was warm and friendly, the food was delicious! My husband had enjoyed a wonderful soup “Tom Kha”, which he enjoyed so much! Would recommend!"
Lamoon; As I continue my mission of reviewing the best Thai restaurants in NYC, following some glowing reviews on the NYTimes and The infatuation, I braved my way into Elmhurst Queens. (Definitely not an easy feat by any means… . Lamoon specialized in NorthernThai cuisine and has some unusual interesting offers on its menu. Having a lovely conversation about my Thai food obsession with the owner; chef Arada Moonroj, I ordered the Jackfruit salad and the Spine Soup. Both different then my usual order, and packing some complex rich and layered flavors. From The infatuation: Leng Soup What you’re looking at here is a massive pile of pork spine in a thin, citrusy broth with the amount of parsley...
I'm not sure if this restaurant is still named Lamoon, as we visited after it transitioned to a spit shop. The menu is fairly limited; aside from the spits, they offer bone soup, a couple of noodle dishes, and a rice option. I truly want places like this to thrive, but there's definitely room for improvement in their execution. The food tasted good, but I believe it could be even better. The standout dish for me was the pork over rice, which was actually a result of a mistake.
Hidden gem alert! Impeccable clean! So friendly!! Art work done by native Bangkok. Our family came here on a food tour with Joe DiStefano he really knows queens Asian food scene!!! Everything was delicious!!! Thai iced tea was NOT too sweet!! Try tum kanoon: pork jackfruit, leng zaps: pork spine stew. The art work was done by guy flew in from Bangkok this is a place where Thai people live eat.
I'm so disappointed to hear that this place has closed down. Lamoon offers delicious food and features some truly unique dishes. I enjoyed both delivery and dining in their cozy, beautifully decorated space. If you get the chance, definitely check this place out! I highly recommend the Leng soup (which isn’t overly spicy), the Jackfruit peel, and coconut juice.

Amazing food, welcoming staff, and quick service. The flavors in every dish are distinct, and everything on the menu has its purpose—there are no unnecessary items. It was effortless to find something delicious, and I was tempted to order more just to sample another dish. I was really saddened to learn they will be closing permanently in a few days.
I found the foods are fantastic and so delicious. It's reasonable price. Nice and clean. Still has Covid-19 screening. Shield divided between tables. Also provide alcohol gel every tables. If you love North Thai foods, I suggest to check at Lamoon. Try kanom Jean Nam ngew and mango with six colors of sticky rice.
Update: they will be closing end of August and reopening as a bbq spot in another month or so. LOVE their Thai ice tea. Their spicy dishes are fine if you are used to spicy food, it's not crazy. Awesome customer service! Leng Soup is amazing Fried chicken is fresh and crispy Khao Soi is good spicy coconut curry
