“This was my first visit and I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. I had the fried Thai Dumplings(delicious), Pas See Ew with beef Thai mama hot (delicious with a kick), Chicken fried rice (also delicious). The only issue we had was that it was chilly inside the restaurant and we had to eat with our jackets on but. In all fairness I will admit that the restaurant had just open about 30 mins.prior explaining the reason for it being cold inside. That minor issue won’t stop me from revisiting for some more delicious food.“

“Had take-out from Siam Smiles. Ordered the Tom Kha wings, chicken pad Thai with fried chicken, and chicken Pad Khing. The wings were tasty. Nicely cooked with a flavorful gooey sauce covering them. The pad Thai was very, very dry and completely bland. Like they didn’t have enough pad Thai sauce and just gave me plain rice noodles. I had to add soy sauce, lemon juice, and chili oil, and it still wasn’t very good. The fried chicken was also sooo dry- way over cooked. Seemed like it had been cooked hours ago and sat under a heat lamp or something. My husband said the pad khing was “okay, good amount of ginger”.“

“A cozy and comfortable place that serves authentic Thai food. Service was incredible.. staff are super friendly. Would definitely recommend ordering the 'Thai fried chicken, kuaytiew namtok (beef noodles soup) and papaya salad (som tum).“

“By far the best Thai food in Woodbridge. The service is as great as the food. Casual ambiance the inside is very clean. The drunken noodles and shrimp pad thai was tasty and not too salty as Thai food tends to be. The portions are plentiful. I had the lunch specials and the prices are very reasonable. The server is very hospitable and friendly which added to my delightful experience. So glad I found this hidden gem. Will be a repeat customer for sure.“

“I love their green curry 5star. I have been coming to this place for more than 2 years. I am giving 4 stars only because the to go order for green curry quantity is reduced and not at all happy why they changed it. I hope they will notice my comment.“

“For a Wednesday night the place is almost filled. There was a mixture of tables with large parties and smaller ones of couples. Everyone seems to be returning customers which is a good sign. The five dishes we ordered were well prepared with appetizing taste. While their American menu seem to cover frequently ordered western fare, most of their Chinese dishes are listed separatly and only presented in the Chinese language. Our estimation is that everyone in the restaurant ordered from the traditional Chinese menu instead the one you are handed. Therefore, you may want to bring a Chinese speaking friend if you are interested in what they“

“This establishment undoubtedly stands out as the premier Thai restaurant in the vicinity. Personally, I hold a deep appreciation for the cuisine offered here. Having availed their take-out services on multiple occasions, I can attest to the promptness of their service and the meticulousness with which orders are prepared for timely pick-up. It's worth noting that this is an authentic Thai restaurant, where the spice levels are not to be underestimated. For first-time visitors, I advise starting with the mildest option and gradually increasing the spice tolerance. If you have a penchant for genuinely spicy Thai cuisine, this place comes highly recommended. It's worth mentioning that unlike many other Thai establishments in the area that cater to local tastes, this one remains true to its authentic Thai roots.“

“Chopsticks never disappoints. The food amazing and the closest to the Indo Chinese taste we were used to India. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and prices are competitive. What more could you ask for?!!Chilli Chicken is my favorite and highly recommended.“

“This place is super-reliable for tasty Thai food to go. I have never had anything here that wasn't delicious. In particular, all their appetizers, curries, and the grilled pork tenders are stand-outs.We take out from here every other month or so. Never ate in, but we definitely should. When I order online, my order is always waiting for me when I get there. Very fast service.“

“I find it hard to believe I have not argued this place, maybe they changed businesses or owners and my old review is there. Which I can totally own because when I originally started coming here it was just sultan wok and now it is sultan wok/ Asian Express. This is my top choice spot for Chinese takeout locally. To the point where when they are closed and I want Chinese takeout, I just wait until they're open and get something else. My go-to is the general tso is chicken, with which I like to treat myself for lunch when I am working from home. Is this the best Chinese food I've ever eaten, I don't know. Does it satisfy the craving when I have it, absolutely. I would say there are days when I think their food is particularly better than others, without rhyme or reason, but I do tend to find their food tends to be better more often than it's not. Not. I also like when general tso chicken has a nice crunch to it and they tend to have better chicken than other places. I don't think I've ever had it and it'd be soggy unless I'm reheating it which does not count. The woman there tends to be very friendly. Who takes the orders, they have to have a system that gives the name of the customer because she always knows my name and greets him with a hello Mike when she answers the phone. Now if I ordered more regularly I could totally see her knowing my name. However, I do not order frequently enough for her to know who I am, which makes me think they have to have some sort of system. Either way it's nice or is she just that good at her job. All in all, I don't think you can go wrong. Getting takeout from here. I've tried some other spots in town with high recommendations and have been sorely disappointed. I hate soggy chicken and I've never gotten soggy chicken from here.“

“Two good meals for lunch and they were consistently delicious. Had the chicken ginger lunch special with spring rolls (which were a little oily). My friend had drunken noodles and loved it.Kid-friendliness: Not sure if the food options are great for kids“

“Great service and tasty Malaysian food. Portion sizes are good and reasonable pricing. Parking is not limited to the two spaces you see in front of restaurant. Plenty of parking in the back for the few store fronts at the area.Recommended if in the Edison, NJ area and have a craving for some southeastern Asian cuisine.“

“I've been on the hunt for decent Chinese food for quite some time. Well, I finally found our new place! We never ordered from Rice Bowl before so we decided to try to large selection of food...chicken wings, wonton soup, egg rolls, beef with broccoli, bbq spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, mei fun, and shrimp in garlic sauce. It was delicious! I'm so happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that we enjoy!“

“Was able to walk in and get a table for 9 people. It's a little pricy but all food was incredible, the duck was nice and chewy with a crispy skin. the rice noodles and vegetables in the soup were very fresh and well cooked. My Rangoon was very crispy and delicious. Everything is so fresh and well made I'd eat here all the time if I could. The staff are very kind and good at interacting with the customers. The place is well maintained and super clean, I randomly picked this place as somewhere to eat while in town and was incredibly surprised by this gem of a fantastic restaurant.Parking: Free curbside parking, we happened to come at a slower time so there was luckily plenty of space availableKid-friendliness: Plenty of space for families with kids and the waitress taking our orders was good with the kids we had, overall fantastic“

“I lived in Thailand for four years. Bangkok Station is the most authentic Thai food. I have found anywhere in Bergen county New Jersey. Pad See Ew noodles are great, vegetable spring rolls are excellent… next I’m going to try the crispy duck… I’m sure that will be mouthwatering too.Bill GeletaVegetarian options: All you have to do is ask to cook to make vegetarian, and they will gladly accommodate youParking: Plenty of parking… Easily accessed“

“I have been coming to this place since it opened. I order their food once a week and NEVER had nothing but wonderful meals from them. The go for the raw sushi. Staff is so warm and friendly! The food is fresh and always top quality!!!!! I will be ordering tomorrow!!!There were times I couldn’t order what I wanted because the chef will not work with the highest quality fish and I take that as the ultimate compliment to their customers.Sushi is seriously stunning here!“

“I have been going to this restaurant for years. They know me so well that they know my order when I walk in. The food is beyond excellent here. Clean food and atmosphere, lots of vegetarian options. In fact, I was told the last time I was there that they can make my favorite dish, Garlic Chicken, with tofu. I’m excited to try it! Can’t wait to go back.Vegetarian options: They offer seafood as well as tofu. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here.“

“Service was wonderful, staff was really kind and quick. We ordered mainly from their vegetarian menu-veg spring rolls, veg roti canai, pad see ew with imitation duck, veg pad pak, grilled salmon, Thai iced tea, apple crepe and mochi ice cream. Everything was delicious and fresh, with nice portion sizes. My parents hadn't tried Thai food before and they both said they'd both come back here in a heartbeat!“

“Food was SO good. We got panang curry (spice level 1), drunken noodle (spice level 2), Tom kha gai, and salt and pepper tofu. The soup was AMAZING— so flavorful. The curry was good, but not very different than typically. The drunken noodles were so perfectly flavorful. The salt and pepper tofu was also very good, awesome texture and sauce. My favorite was the drunken noodle, I just wish we had gotten everything slightly spicier but it was honestly phenomenal!Vegetarian options: All dishes you could get with tofu or meat!“

“Wow! The dining room is awesome. Ordered Pineapple fried rice and the dish was nicely presented actually in the pineapple shell. They made it medium heat and brought the chili sauce for me to burn as much as I wanted. All the veggies and meats were chopped, cooked and packed into the pineapple. Definitely my most interesting presentation and is probably one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had! Short time in area but I will go back several times before I leave. And the service/server was attentive, fast and very friendly!“

“Not sure where to begin. The place is cozy but very nicely decorated. The service is very good and efficient. Thai food takes a while to prepare and they kept us informed of any delays. And when the food finally arrived, OMG... it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely worth the wait!!“

“We were in the area to checkout the new ShopRite and decided to grab lunch here. It was not crowded at all for a Saturday afternoon. They have a lunch special where you can get a salad, an appetizer, a main dish, and dessert for only $22! What a steal! I loved the peanut dressing on the salad. The chicken satay had a great Smokey flavor and was still juicy. My favorite dish was definitely the curry noodles. It had a kick but was still creamy. I will definitely be returning :)“

“Looking to eat Delicious food? Come here!!! Wonderful place to eat Thai food. Wonderful staff with the warmth and kindness of the Thai culture. The food is soooo good. I’ve brought many people here and they all agree. We Highly recommend“

“It's hard to find new Thai places that'll blow your socks away, yet Siwa Thai did exactly that. We ordered the Siwa Fried Rice and a green curry - savored every single bite. Spice level 4 had us sweating but so worth it. The cold coffee was a tad too sweet and they were kind enough to get me a new one with less sugar. Super attentive staff, amazing food (fried rice) and a cozy interior at the heart of downtown Woodbridge.“

“The food here is amazing. I highly recommend the Pad Mei Prig King (I think it’s called). The service is quick and I always get seated right away. After ordering your food, the wait is about 10 - 15 minutes. Appetizers I always get are the steamed pork dumplings and beef satay. The atmosphere is chill, and there is always either a bustling business, with most tables filled, or nice and quiet. Even with the restaurant busy, there is still a TV with news and a quiet-ish atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options, so I would not recommend vegetarians to come here.Parking: Usually have to park on the street in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Is very kid-friendly, and the workers are very kind and playful towards kids.“

“Thai Lanna is a staple in my area and my favorite Thai restaurant. I've been eating here for many years. The staff is warm and friendly, the owner is incredibly nice and the food is consistently delicious! Everything is always cooked to perfection and VERY flavorful. They also accommodate spice levels perfectly so if you want it more tame, they can do that for you. My favorite is the Thai Iced Coffee, it's smoky and sweet and it compliments their spicy dishes perfectly. Thai Lanna is a must try if you are nearby. If you're thinking about it, just order here! You won't be disappointed!“

“Solid local Thai restaurant. Always enjoy the curry puffs and satays. The BKK is great, as is the Pad Ce Aew and Duck Salad, all the curry's are tasty. Also enjoy the pha ram and the Pad Prig King (spicy). Clean interior and simple decor but fun to eat at. Take away consistently very good!“

“I've been a long time customer of River Thai, but I hadn't been there in a long time, and my last review was written 14 years ago (!!!) But I recently ordered take away from here on Sunday evening. It's located in downtown South River which is in the middle of a rebirth? I was able to get plenty of parking, and I was pretty amazed that my order of pad see ewe, Thai-ice tea was packaged and ready to go in less than 10 minutes! The workers are really nice here, and I always had good experiences dining here. They did have a sign that indicated that they are not offering dining due to staff shortages. I would call before going there to see if you can dine in. I'm glad I got to visit again. I'll have to (re) try more of their items before my next update!“

“5 star rating!! Excellent customer service, food is fantastic, VIP lounge is cozy and incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food! This restaurant definitely has my most favorite dishes and authentic food, definitely 5 star rating!!“

“Head and shoulders above any Thai food in the area and perhaps beyond. Best curry puffs I've ever had. Standout entrees were the Drunken Man Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) and the Salmon in a curry sauce with pasta. They have a special called NJPD which is a huge portion of Pad Thai with half a crispy duck mixed in. Unbelievably great. Very affordable. Must try.“

“This place used to be good but now it's very average. We found a hair in one of the dishes and they refused to give us a refund for that dish. Chicken 65 was more like chilli chicken. The butter chicken was boneless and the overall portion sizes are small.“

“Loved my experience here. The food was so delicious! Really great vegetarian options too. I had the vegetarian steamed dumplings, chicken satay, and pad thai. For dessert I had the mango sticky rice which was heavenly! Incredible flavors and even better service. They have lunch specials too.“

“After a long time got the Kolkata chinese taste! Also had the pleasure to have the chef/owner make some lovely fried rice for us……… and it hit the right spot! A must-visit place for all the indo-chinese food lovers who misses that taste here in the US. I am surely coming back again!“

“The wonton soup changed with the new owners and I miss the old packaging for rice and noodle dishes. Bring back the white paper containers!The prices have gone up a lot too. Price hikes are expected post COVID for sure, but $10 for vegetable fried rice seems a little crazy“
