Pata Market

I recently visited Pata Market in Elmhurst, and it’s a hidden gem! They have such a wide variety of rare items that are hard to find elsewhere. The store is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Whether you’re looking for unique snacks, specialty ingredients, or authentic Asian groceries, this is the place to go. Highly recommend checking it out! 💚

Amazing desserts, loved the pandan cake, coconut ice cream and taro sticky rice. They were all not too sweet and well made. Very friendly staff.

One of my favorite stores in Elmhurst. They have a large variety of Thai groceries and ready to eat deli. The store is always super clean and the staffs are super nice. A must visit if you’re in the area.

My favorite Thai market in Queens. The store is small, but it got all the essentials of Thai cuisine stock up. I don’t really know how to make authentic Thai dishes. I came here to brung home all the delicious home style preparations. I have been here so many times. The market always presented many verities to choose from . Entrees / deserts : they all very yummy and affordable!!

Walked into Pata Market thinking I’d just browse… walked out like I raided a Thai grandma’s kitchen. 💪😂 Place is small but loaded with the good stuff. Grabbed the pork basil—pork, chili, basil, fish sauce, sugar, some mystery seasoning that must be sorcery… every bite hit like a roundhouse kick of flavor. 🥢🔥 Then came the grilled chicken with sticky rice—marinated with sesame oil, honey, black pepper, turmeric… bro, this wasn’t dinner, it was a spiritual awakening. 🐔🍯 Served with sticky rice that could glue your soul together. Queens never misses. If you know, you know. 👊 Instagram #foodieinthebigapple2025 foodieinthebigapple2025
