I like fun facts!

Did you know thereโ€™s a secret subway station under the City Hall in NYC? The beautifully tiled City Hall station was closed to the public in 1945, but you can still catch a glimpse of it by staying on the 6 train after its last stop. Itโ€™s a hidden gem beneath the bustling city streets!

HERO THAI & IZAKAYA - 3416 Broadway, Astoria, NY 11106

Discovering Hidden Gems in Astoria:

Hero Thai Izakaya

Hero Thai Izakaya is tucked away at 3416 Broadway, Queens, NY 11106. Astoria is known for its vibrant food scene, and this spot is no exception. Visiting Astoria always feels like a treasure hunt, with hidden gems on every corner. The vibe here is laid-back and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

To kick off your meal, youโ€™ve got to try the Mango!!! Thai Iced Teaโ€”at just $4, itโ€™s a steal and out of this world delicious! This sweet and creamy drink is the perfect refreshment, and trust me, youโ€™ll be tempted to order more than one. If youโ€™re in the mood for something with a little more punch, go for the Mauy Thai Rum Punch ($12). Itโ€™s sweet, tangy, and packs just the right amount of kick to get your taste buds dancing.

Appetizers:

Start with their Shrimp Fritters and Coconut Shrimp ($7 each). These bite-sized delights are the perfect appetizerโ€”crispy, flavorful, and downright delicious. The coconut shrimp, in particular, had me swooning with its delicate balance of sweetness and crunch.

Entrรฉes: Seafood Loverโ€™s Dream

For the main event, I highly recommend the Seafood Combo Cashew Nut Curry ($26). This dish is bursting with authentic flavors, and the combination of tender seafood with crunchy veggies is pure magic. Itโ€™s a curry thatโ€™s rich, warming, and so satisfying, youโ€™ll be dreaming about it long after your plate is clean.

Another standout is the Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai. My super sweet hostess insisted I try this, and wow, did it deliver! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just rightโ€”enough to bring the heat without overwhelming the dishโ€™s natural flavors. Itโ€™s comfort food with a kick, and I loved every slurpy bite of it.

Now, for all my dessert lovers out there, donโ€™t miss the Taiyaki. This warm, fluffy, lightly toasted bean cake (a nod to Guyana ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡พ) comes with vanilla ice cream, and itโ€™s the perfect sweet treat to wrap up your meal. The combination of textures and flavors is simply divine, and itโ€™s the kind of dessert that leaves you with a smile on your face.

The menu is exceptional, the service is warm and friendly, and the prices are seriously unbeatable for the quality you get. Whether youโ€™re in the mood for a quick bite or a full-on feast, this spot is well worth a visit.

So, next time youโ€™re in Astoria, be sure to swing by Hero Thai Izakaya for some incredible food and a memorable dining experience. Youโ€™ll be glad you did!
