4 Best Thai Restaurants near Newark

“Papaya Thai is a Bay Area treasure. My wife and I stumbled upon it while looking for a good place to have lunch after running an errand in Newark. We had Lamb Yellow Curry Stew and Pad Thai with Shrimp. The lamb was perfectly cooked in a rich yellow curry with potatoes and carrots. The meat was as tender as you can possibly imagine. The Pad Thai was mixed with a sweet sauce that was slightly sticky, which I like so the noodles adhere to each other. I don’t know if this is traditional, but really like Pad Thai like that.“

“This Thai halal spot never misses! I always order the broccoli beef with a big side of rice — the flavor and portions are perfect every single time. Fresh, consistent, and absolutely delicious. One of my go-to places when I want something satisfying and full of flavor in Newark! 🍛🔥“

“Simply Thai serves some of the most authentic and flavorful curries I’ve had! I ordered the Yellow Curry with Prawns, and my friend had the Roast Duck Curry—both were rich, well-balanced, and packed with fresh ingredients.

The restaurant has a clean and relaxed atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the dining experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Thai comfort food.“
