Woodside Thai Restaurant With Grilled Pork Jowl and Catfish

Flip to the back of the menu at Thai Money Restaurant, a Woodside Thai restaurant at 49-08 43rd Ave, for grilled pork jowl and fiery, traditional Thai specialties. The kitchen uses imported Thai catfish prepared two ways, including a stir fry with Thai eggplant and green peppercorns.

The classics hold up too. Reviewers point to the tofu pad Thai for its texture and flavor, while fresh mango salad and larb chicken offer brighter directions. House-made fish cakes arrive in a spicy herbal broth, and vegetarian and vegan diners have plenty to work with. Round out the order with a soup, a Thai beer or sake.

The dining room opens daily from half past eleven AM to half past three PM, with lunch specials running that whole stretch. Dinner service picks up at half past four PM and runs until 10 PM, and happy hour runs daily from half past four to 7 PM. Dine-in, takeout and delivery are all available.
