Seeda Thai Restaurant

Lesson: Just because it looked good, does not mean the taste reflected the visual.
Environment: Adorned in decorations, a sit down restaurant.
Customer Traffic: Majority of customers were people ordering take-​out which caught me off-​guard because it was Sunday, May 29,2016 (My Birthday) and people coming from church or families usually would fill these restaurants.
Lobster Pad Thai: I hate to break this to everyone who saw the Lobster Pad Thai…(sighs)…it wasn’t good. I ordered this dish expecting tender pieces of lobsters sautéed into the pad thai but I didn’t get that. I took a first of the lobster and chewed it, kept chewing it, chewed it some more and spit it out. I told my father to taste the lobster to make sure I was not being dramatic and chewed it, chewed it some more and he said «Don’t eat the lobster, the consistency is like gum and it must have been frozen.»
How They Resolved The Issue: I called the waiter to tell him «This dish was not good and is it possible we can have a manager?» I made sure to only have two pieces of the lobster so if the manager thought I was lying, I saved her some food. He took my plate and gave it to the chef and the manager. Tell me how I saw the manager taste the piece of lobster and spit it out? (Drops The Fork) The waiter came back and replaced my meal with the Chicken Pad Thai w Tofu and that was way better than the Lobster Pad Thai. I have been always hesitant about sending my food back but why spend my father’s money on a dish I couldn’t eat? They did not charge my dad for the Lobster Pad Thai and apologize profusely about this and I appreciated it.
Will I Come Back?: I don’t think so. Ordering seafood from an establishment shows the true quality and freshness of the food. Their Strawberry Lemonade drink was great though.

Love this thai place. Food is excellent. I recommend exotic chicken or pad se ew noodles.

This place is almost always my go-​to in any occasion.
Mother’s Day, another day to decide where to eat a celebratory meal. After a few back and forth (s) with my brother, we decided to get food from ‘ol faithful.’ As usual, I was not disappointed. My mom went a bit rouge and didn’t order her same ol same ol. This time she ordered the Triple Delight, and she was delighted. (Please forgive my corniness, lol)
Annnnnnyywho, I have yet to be disappointed by their food, and don’t plan to be. (By the way, I almost always get the garlic and pepper chicken. And it’s always good.)

Very good Thai food served here.
I’ve been here several times in the past five years and always pleased with good and consistent food.
I came here for lunch this week while I was in town for mainly enjoy sticky rice with mango desert. All the lunch food I had in the past has been very good but my favorite is their desert.
Sticky sweet rice together with mango (seasonal) has just right amount of sweetness to it, perfect way to end good lunch.
Their Thai iced tea is pretty good too. Takes away some of the spiciness from hot lunch.

This place has been here for as long as I can remember and its here for good reason. If I’m craving Thai and don’t wanna drive more than 5 mins this is the spot.
I enjoy their pad see ew and pas Thai every time. Tom yum has just the right sourness and heat. Staff is very quick and efficient. A little overpriced as compared to other spots but for its proximity to me I’ll deal with it.

This place is the bomb!
I work 1 block away and every chance I get I’m here. Great drinks. Great calamari. Great food. The staff is really nice and friendly. Just short and sweet review but if you are in the area u must stop by this place. Never had a bad experience

The family and I have driven by this pace many times. We finally decided to check it out and ordered food to go. We purchased 80+ dollars on food that was inedible (Fish smelled, rice was extremely soggy…). Beware!

I enjoyed the food here. I had a chicken curry in green sauce. It was nice and spicy. I had some beef on a stick with some kind of dipping sauce that was tasty. The atmosphere is quaint and the service was good.

Great atmosphere. Basil fried rice and massaman are great. Exotic chicken and drunken noodles are yummy too

Great Thai food. Really strong drinks! I like this place because it is well done, close and the staff are friendly. I loved the rice dishes the most!

I love here. Its close and very reasonably priced food. I usually get pad thai or pineapple fried rice but i tried the exotic chicken with curry rice n that was super good. My favorite go 2 spot in valley stream

The place was alright I got the chicken pad Thai was the best I had but it was satisfying. The bad thing about this place is that they raised the prices and they shouldn’t of did that Atleast give a lil more food when ordered. The waiters didn’t comevoyt to us to see if everything was good. I’ll come back here one more time to see if it changed my mind but overall is alright

Seeda Thai Restaurant is a quaint little restaurant located on the left side of Central Ave as you turn off Merrick road in Valley Stream. Meter parking is available but it was after 9pm when a friend and I visited and we didn’t «feed the meter», hell we were too hungry to think about feeding anyone but ourselves.
The restaurant wasn’t crowded and were were taken straight to our table. It’s a nice spot for a small family dinner and couples. Or, come alone, they’ll still feed ya.
My friend and I were there to catch up with each other’s lives. Well to compare dating notes if you will. The talk was so juicy the waitress had to return three times before we were actually ready to order. She was pretty cool about it and in fact it looks like she was enjoying our «notes» as much as we were.
We eventually ordered (straight to entrée) we got:
Red curry with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, fresh chili basil leaves and shrimp.
And
The Drunken noodle which is stir fried white flat noodle with chilli and basil leaves with shrimp and jasmine rice.
I’m not a fan of spicy food so I got mild. Mind you, there’s mild and very mild. I felt a baddie as I chose mild.
The food tasted good. The portions were adequate and I even had food for the following day.
Strong recommendation from me to try Seeda Thai, in my opinion one of Valley Stream’s treasures.
The End.

The location is near to home, the food is good at least what I ordered, parking is ok as long as u go at a great time!

My coworker and I come here every Friday because of how good all the dishes are for the Lunch menu. It’s quite affordable, which great vegetarian options. Their secret recipe peanut dressing is amazing! I highly recommend this to anyone in the area who loves good food.

Seeda offers a warm and inviting dining experience. The hostess was friendly. The vicinity itself is small. I think a renovation should be in the works. It felt very Christmassy and we’re in the month of October.
I ordered curry puffs as my appetizer. Four came in total but were the size of a lighter. The dough was lacking something and the filling was gone after one bite. I couldn’t taste anything.
My entrée consisted of the chicken massaman curry with brown rice. It was flavorful but just like the appetizer I ordered the portion was on the smaller side.
Their drinks need a lot of work. The pomegranate martini I ordered tasted like pomegranate juice with a splash of lime. No alcohol present at all.

Warmed up food.
Ordered the chicken pad thai and siameese shrimp. The shrimp was ok. Sticky rice was not the best. My girlfriend said the pad thai was terrible. I tasted it and I agreed. It tasted like yesterday’s food.
Don’t support this place because the food isn’t fresh. From the fridge to microwave to the table.
My girl agrees with the above.

This Restaurant has to be the flagship of Thai food. From the moment you enter the place, you are welcome. It feels very cozy and authentic. The staff, they’re very friendly and attentive. You don’t have to wait long to have your meal.
The food is the most amazing. It doesn’t matter what you order, you won’t be disappointed. One of my favorite dishes is the Panang Chicken and of course the coconut soup.
My family and I have been eating at this Restaurant for over fifteen years and never been disappointed. I highly recommend you try this Restaurant. I have friend that come all the way from NYC to LI just to have Thai food. Now this have to make a statement since NYC have many great Thai restaurants. Enjoy!

I came here with my boyfriend and his parents on Father’s Day to have dinner. The ambiance of the place is very nice. I had the sniffles so I ordered jasmine hot tea, vegetable miso soup and the vegetarian drunken noodles. Everything tastes great, except the drunken noodles. It didn’t have much flavor at all, not even all the spicy like it’s supposed to be. I had to ask them for some kind of hot sauce with some flavor so they ended up giving me sweet and sour sauce, which made it a little better, but not quite all the way. I would visit again, but only for the jasmine tea and vegetable miso soup TO GO.

My boyfriend gave this a 3star but I gave this a 4 star.
We came here on a whim. Searched restaurants nearby and this restaurant showed up. Something new, why not?
Came inside and was very surprised of the table setting and decorations. Absolutely beautiful!!! Was afraid the menu was going to be expensive… But fair pricing!
We ordered tom yum koong and it was good, a little too sour but the shrimp totally ruined it. It tasted so fishy!!! Fresh off the boat without any cleansing. Ruined my appetite.
However, our mussaman curry chicken and pad-​se-​ew was fantastic. Kind of the same from other Thai restaurants so nothing too special about it.
The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the decoration, service and even the bathrooms were awesome. Food was okay, not superb but we definitely will come again.
Must check it out!
