Sripraphai is everyone’s favorite Thai restaurant, and why wouldn’t it be? Everything on its menu is good, authentic and inexpensive. Of course, it’s also not as easily accessible since it’s in Woodside, Queens. But then again, for those who are wiling to travel, it’s a quick ride on the 7 train. The duck green curry blows me away. It’s spicy, and beware of the peppers in the curry: I once accidentally ate one and couldn’t eat the rest of the meal because it burned my tongue. But I thrive on experiences like that. There is also pineapple and tomato along with the duck, which has the right amount of skin and fat as well as meat. This is the one dish of which I always order an extra portion to bring home with me.

The best dumplings in town without a doubt. The skins are thin, and the filling inside so juicy. You can really taste the flavor of the thinly sliced pieces of duck. Dim Sum Go Go also has an array of fun sauces, including ginger and scallion or the dry scallop XO sauce. Try these instead of the usual soy sauce, and don’t forget to ask for hot sauce if you like a little spice.
