Lamoon Northern Thai Cuisine

Not sure if this place is still called Lamoon, we went after it became the spit shop. The menu is quite limited, except the spits there was the bone soup, two noodles and the rice dish. I really want places to succeed, but the execution needs some work. Food tasted good, but I think it might have been much better. The best product was pork over rice, which was brought out of mistakes.

So sad to hear that place is closed. Lamoon is delicious and has some truly unique dishes. I ordered the delivery and also dined in their small but beautifully decorated room. Please check this place if you have the chance! Recommend the Leng soup (it is really not brutally spiced), Jackfruit peel and coconut juice.

Fantastic food, friendly staff and fast service. The flavors in all dishes are clear, and all on the menu has a reason to be there, there are no redundant items. It was easy to find something tasty and hard not to get one more thing so I could try another product. I was sad to hear them closing permanently in a few days.

Only cash/Venmo operation. Very cozy corner, with a wonderful women's team. The server was warm and friendly, the food was delicious! My husband had enjoyed a wonderful soup “Tom Kha”, which he enjoyed so much! Would recommend!

Lamoon; As I continue my mission of reviewing the best Thai restaurants in NYC, following some glowing reviews on the NYTimes and The infatuation, I braved my way into Elmhurst Queens. (Definitely not an easy feat by any means… . Lamoon specialized in NorthernThai cuisine and has some unusual interesting offers on its menu. Having a lovely conversation about my Thai food obsession with the owner; chef Arada Moonroj, I ordered the Jackfruit salad and the Spine Soup. Both different then my usual order, and packing some complex rich and layered flavors. From The infatuation: Leng Soup What you’re looking at here is a massive pile of pork spine in a thin, citrusy broth with the amount of parsley, chives and green chili you’d apply to a dish if a cookbook said to “make it rain.” You pick up the bones and eat them like ribs (there are wet naps on the side , and the tender meat falls right off the bone. This is our go-to order at Lamoon, and, as long as you enjoy spicy things, it should be yours as well. Jackfruit Salad This is a salad in the sense that egg salad is a salad, and we’re very ok with this. The jackfruit is soft and warm, with ground pork, tomatoes, and chopped herbs, like chives and lemongrass, mixed in. We usually prefer the Nam Prik Ong (it has a little more spice and flavor , but this is still a good way to start your meal.
