The mom and dad are literally sweetest people I've ever met. They showered us with love and quality food that other restaurants have been lacking since after the pandemic. The authenticity of the food, the attention they show for each order (starting from ordering it to receiving it), this place absolutely impressed me beyond measure. Will DEFINITELY come again here.

It’s not a fancy restaurant. It’s been around for a long time. The food was always delicious but very spicy. Be aware of your spicy tolerate level. At times food came out spicier than it should be. We had Tom yum soup, chicken satay, guay teow neau sub, and puck ruam mit sate. All were wonderful and delicious. The soup was great for a somewhat chill night. I love the peanut sauce of sate. Puck ruam mit sate was light. The portion was generous.

We ordered food spicy and one dish was too spicy, so they were nice enough to offer to dilute it/make it less spicy so we could finish! Very nice staff and great food!

This restaurant has by far the best thai food I've ever had (and their portions are huge). My favorite item on the menu is the Guay Teow Rad Prig; it comes with tons of sauce and is extremely flavorful. Their fried ice cream is also a family favorite. I've also tried the mango sticky rice, which is very good. I highly suggest coming here!

Favorite - Thai spot! I could eat at this place every week. The noodle dishes are so good, curries are outstanding and meat, fish, veggies and tofu are always seasoned perfectly. They bring Thai Hot level spice and aren't afraid to bring extra rice and whatever you need. Tremendous customer service. Clean and nice inside.

This place is my favorite place to get Thai food in Central Jersey. When they tell you that the spice level of their dishes is Thai spicy then you know that their food is going to be authentic! Ambiance - plenty of seating - spacious - dog friendly Service - friendly waiters - food came to the table quickly Food - fried calamari- Chrispy in the outside and juicy and slightly chewy on the inside. The sauce was tangy and sweet. Loved this appetizer! - Green Curry and white rice, mild- just enough heat for me! This dish is packed with veggies- Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, red bell pepper, onions. The portion is huge- I got 2.5 servings out of this dish. Rice was warm and fluffy. I've come here multiple times to dine-in and takeout and I'll definitely be back!

HE WARNED US: I came here with my bf because I desperately wanted Tom Yum soup and Green Curry. When the waiter came to take our order, we asked for a Thai Iced tea, a Pineapple Bomb (alcoholic), Fried Pork Dumplings and a Tom Yum with white meat chicken (spicy level, large enough to share with 2-4 people). For entrees, I got Green Curry (spicy level) and he got something from the fried rice menu (also spicy). Our waiter asked if we were sure about the spice, since their food is spicier than most. My bf and I both feel like we’re amazing at handling spice. So, we were both feeling equally cocky about the spice level and excitedly told the waiter that we wanted it. Tom Yum (spicy): It hurt to eat, but we both thought it was still yummy. The soup coated our tongue and lips, providing a lasting burn. I don’t sweat when eating spice, but my bf started sweating thick bullets immediately. I had to slow down with eating the soup. We were only able to finish half the soup, whereas I know I could finish the whole thing by myself if the spice was more tolerable. The waiter/bartender was nice enough to give my bf a Mai Tai (unsolicited) since he was sweating and eyeshot from the soup. The waiter explained that the Mai Tai helps with the burn. It did. And it was good. Pork Fried Dumplings: 6 pieces per order, the dumpling skin was thicker than I anticipated and reminded me of Bao that has been fried. I still liked it. Green Curry (spicy): By the time I got to eating my entree, my mouth was still in slow burning pain from the soup. The green curry, which had a red color, was incredibly spicy too. I ate it very slowly. The waitress got us another pitcher of water and asked if I wanted to make my curry less spicy (by diluting it with coconut milk). Defeated, I say “yes please.” While I wait for my entree to return, the waiter/bartender kindly gave me another iced tea and my bf another sample/half glass of Mai Tai, unsolicited! He’s so amazing. The waitress came back with my green curry, and now it’s actually green! It was so much more tolerable and so delish. When the waiter came around again, I asked what the new spice level was on this. He said mild to medium, or “mild plus.” We took the rest our entrees and the soup to go. We were full from all the liquids it took to quench the fire. At this point, I was full and super happy with their service. We were treated well and loved the complimentary drinks. The food was delish, even though we should’ve got the medium spice level from the get go. We were humbled this experience and we’ll be back. We’ll be ordering mild-medium.

This is the absolute BEST Thai restaurant you’ll find. My partner and I come here all the time and order the pad see ew and spring rolls - it’s incredible every time. The staff is efficient, super kind, and the place is very clean and welcoming. Food always comes out fast and hot. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
