“When in Hackensack and craving Thai, this spot is worth the visit. Dishes are fresh, we ordered the calamari, pad Thai w shrimp, Panang w chicken, drunken noodles w beef and mango sticky rice for dessert. Yum another authentic Thai place for Asian comfort food. So good.“

“This Thai food place have far exceeded my initial expectation. This is perhaps my new favorite Thai food place in NJ. At first, I thought this was just a regular/average Thai food take out restaurant at a grocery store or shopping plaza. But I was wrong. The Thai food here seems to be more authentic rather than localized, which I quite enjoy. As for the service, it's great. The gentlemen who takes order at the front is always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to those who are just looking for some solid Thai food at a good value.“

“Everything we ordered was delicious - notable dishes was the branzino fish with lime and the crying tiger as well as the coconut ice cream with taro bites. Got quite busy at 6pm and restaurant was filled on a Wednesday so make a reservation!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“Obviously we like thaï food as this is the the 3rd place in 3 weeks
Here the food is different not the usual curry dish or sate and oh soooo good.
Loved the 2 shrimp dishes we ordered, the shrimp cake as appetizer was excellent.
Our waitress Siri was friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Do try the lychee martini.“

“Amazing food, service, and ambience! The braised pork belly was delicious, and the staff both friendly and professional!“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“Excellent food and service“

“An authentic Thai restaurant where you can adjust the flavors to your liking. We ordered roasted pork, Som Tum, and Tom Yum—the food was delicious, and prices were reasonable. The service and atmosphere were both pleasant. Recently reopened after a brief closure, it’s definitely worth a try!“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“I love Thai food in general and I have had a lot of it a lot of different places. This is the best chicken pad see ew I think I’ve ever had. The view of 1st Ave is super cute and they played great music so I can’t have asked for a better atmosphere and vibe. The service was lovely and fast. Presentation of the food was also a step above and the place is super clean. I’d highly recommend and I hope I come back soon too. Only complaint was $6 for a sparkling water which I didn’t realize I’d be charged for. Oh well. I’ll skip it next time.“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy.
Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.“

“Northern Thai at its best!“

“This place....all I can say is yum! My first time in NYC and I wanted all the food that NYC offers. You guys killed it. Fresh, spicy (just like I like it) and you laughed when I asked for chili paste, but brought it to me anyway. 😆I'm glad I tried it first because all it needed was some fish sauce. I don't even remember what I tried, something with pork, but OMG, it was heaven. Super friendly staff and fast service. I will definitely be back to NYC and definitely will go back to PURE Thai Cookhouse.“

“The grilled pork chop plate was on the money“

“Tam Mai Thai staff were super helpful picking what to try and very attentive. All the dishes I had were authentic and served hot. The pineapple fried rice was served in half of a pineapple which added to the flavor, and a fun way to eat it! They also use soft tofu, which is great in the Pad See Eiw. All the appetizers are delicious, but my favorite had to be the Curry Puffs, which are made using roti bread. Definitely check them out when you are in the area!“

“Churos Thai has a nice vibe whether for lunch or happy hour drinks after work. The ambiance, decor, and soft pop jazz give the place a hip feel. They have a full top shelf bar. The food was delicious. I had the lunch special spring roll, spicy basil fried rice with shrimp and thai iced tea, it was alllll goood!

Vegetarian options: The regular food was good. I assume the same for the vegan options (I did not try the vegan menu)

Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp to enter the restaurant and enough room to be seated at a table.“

“First, the interior is beautiful & serene with kind, attentive staff. I always look for a Thai restaurant when I travel and taste green curries everywhere I go.
This is now my top choice. Fresh market vegetables and the perfect green curry.
If you're looking for fresh, savory Thai bursting with flavor - stop searching.“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“Very good vibes. Love this! 💐🌺🍴🥢“

“Food was good. Got an original poached chicken and tried the fried chicken as well. Definitely enjoyed the fried chicken more. Well fried, juicy, and flavorful. The ginger rice was also very flavorful. Came with a small soup and salad. No complaints here!“

“Locals know this is *the* best Thai food in the neighborhood. For delivery especially, the food comes so fast it’s almost scary (did they know my order before I ordered it? How else could they get here so fast?). But the food is delicious and the portions are huge.

In person, Buffs is equally great. The vibes are fun and the service is super friendly and nice.“

“Incredible food authentic Thai food tastes using the best ingredients to achieve the taste of Thai food. Had the Som Tom salad with beautiful balanced flavours and perfect heat. The Tom yum soup was lost for words every spoonful was heavenly in my mouth, exceptionally made. Crispy chicken with cashews was a great dish a little less sweet the dish would have been even greater. Service was great by our waiting staff. Thank you for your hospitality the owner was very much involved back house and at the front of the house keeping customers informed. A little bit pricey but for food like this all Hollywood stars should know about this place, not in Greenwich or Tribeca but on 2nd Ave. Gem of a place don't miss this 4.9-starred TripAdvisor and top 10 Thai place to eat in New York.“

“Very good, well-flavored classic Thai dishes Lunch specials range from Pad Thai noodles or Khao Pat fried rice with choice of proteins to soups and salads. Each lunch includes an appetizer such as spring roll or soup. We tried a Tofu soup with vegetable fried rice plus a Tom Yum spicy soup with.Vegetable Yellow Corry. Also had a side of the yummy crab and lobster ravioli in spicy Thai sauce which had lemongrass flavors in an aromatic coconut milk broth. Lots of vegetarian and some vegan options. Good for adventurous kids too. Large menu for such a small place The tiny dining room is adorned in tree branches with golden leaves giving it an exotic yet cozy air. Very nice demure waitress, Quiet crowd. Good value for good size portions, would be great choice for a budget date night. Also a very welcoming place.“

“I recommend! The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy, and the staff is incredibly nice and attentive. The food is amazing, with rich, deep flavors.

My absolute favorite is the Braised Beef Basil (10/10)— savory and spicy, it’s a must-try! I’ve also had:
• Pad Kee Mao (8/10) – Very flavorful, but the noodles were a bit too chewy.
• Roti Massaman (8/10) – Delicious, but the cinnamon flavor makes it more sweet than spicy.
• Crispy Crab Rangoons (6/10) – Decent, but nothing special.
• Chicken & Shrimp Dumplings (5/10) – Just okay, wouldn’t order again.
• Pattaya Wings (7/10) – Pretty good, but not the best I’ve had.
• Panang Curry (7/10) – Tasty, but not outstanding.

Side note: I ordered the Braised Beef Basil all four times, and I’ve noticed the portion keeps getting smaller each visit! The amount of beef on the plate has noticeably decreased, which is disappointing. Because of that, I’ll be taking a break from it for now.

Overall, still a great spot with amazing flavors—I just hope they fix the portion sizes!“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“I was recommended the beef noodle soup and that was very tasty, as well as my friend's pad kra pow. I would say that the drunken noodle did lack a bit of flavor, though. The service was very helpful and attentive, and I loved the vinyl theme they had going on. It felt like a Thai record store on the inside!“

“Wowwww!!!
We ate there and they treated us like family. What a nice family and wonderful service.
We ordered dirty beef sliders, spring rolls, super spicy green curry chicken, coconut soup and garlic chicken rice bowl. Amazing!
All the dishes were top notch.
It smelled great outside and inside and we were not disappointed. Definitely my new spot. Try it out and it will be yours too.“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“The best Thai food I have found so far in NYC. Relatively authentic taste, reasonably priced, friendly service, and less busy/crowded than the Thai restaurants on 9th Ave. Will definitely return. :-)“

“Amazing food, authentic- and the staff are so attentive and kind!“

“Upon entering, you feel as if you've been before. Waan Waan is so familiar and unfussy you know the food is gonna be good and you won't pay too much for it. I got the beef drunken noodles and they were incredible. So flavorful and a great kick from the peppers and sauce. Followed up by coconut mango sticky rice , a perfect finish. This is where you come to get a dependably good meal for a decent price.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating“

“Super friendly service. I ordered a pad see ew with chicken and it was delicious. Surprised to see such an authentic place on a commercial street on Steinway. Lunch specials are super affordable and good portion size. I'm looking forward to trying the duck egg noodles next!“

“Good cocking makes it good food to eat. Thums up. keep up the great service.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nimman Thai Eatery in Nutley, NJ, and it was an experience to remember. The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the food presentation was just as impressive. The flavors were an authentic yet modern take on Thai cuisine—simply delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly and full of smiles, making the visit even more enjoyable. If I find myself in NJ again, I'll definitely be back to Nimman Thai Eatery. Highly recommended!“

“Food is wonderful. Good portion sizes. Penang sauce is yummy. Great staff.“

“Amazing food! My husband and I stopped by for Friday night dinner. We tried the fried calamari, Pad Kana Moo Grob (Sautéed crispy pork belly with chinese broccoli in garlic sauce.), Pork Chops Vegetable Garlic Sauce, crab fried rice and for dessert, the mango coconut sticky rice. All of it was just delicious! Highly recommend coming to try. Plus: BYOB“
