The Buffs

Tucked away in Astoria, this tiny, easy-to-miss dining room feels less like a commercial venue and more like visiting someone's home. With only a few tables and quiet music in the background, the atmosphere is exceptionally low-key. The kitchen pairs traditional Thai flavors with modern updates, turning out dishes like rich Tom Kha soup, soft chicken curry puffs, and red curry, alongside seasonal summer desserts like mango sticky rice.
