“The food was delicious 😋 my son and I have been trying to find good Thai food closer to home and this place was very good. Definitely will be returning we already know what we’re going to have next.“

“Almost walked by this place - definition of hidden gem. Most enthusiastic and friendly owner. Most interesting and delicious pad thai, thai crepe, ive ever had, out of probably 100+ thai spots. This immediately rose to #1 position. I'll be back... often!“

“The best Thai food in Union County!“

“It was me and my best friends first time coming here. We wanted Thai food and most places closed early. We were automatically greeted by Pisha (not sure how to spell her name I apologize) she was very welcoming and sat us at a table quickly and took care of us right away. She also helped us choose what to order and accommodated our dish based off our preference. The food came out pretty quickly, very fresh, delicious and great portion. Everything was seasoned so well. We will definitely come back again. We ordered the spring rolls, pad Thai noodles and Thai fried rice with chicken. We highly recommend trying this restaurant! Especially if it is your first time having Thai food 🙂“

“The Pad Mee Duck OMG. Expensive, but soooooo worth it. We ordered takeout. I am not high. This was phenomenal. I ordered it to step outside my comfort zone (I normally do a Drunken Noodle), and omgoodness…. I’ll never order anything again. From Charm Thai, at least. 12/10.“

“GREAT THAI RESTAURANT — MAYBE THE BEST! THE THAI ICED TEA, JUST LIKE IN THAILAND (BELIEVE ME!). DRUNKEN NOODLES, SO MUCH FLAVOR, PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. DUCK RICE — TREMENDOUS, REALLY SPECIAL. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, YOU WON’T FIND BETTER!“

“I’ve been chasing authentic Thai cuisine for years. Trying new places since my very first experience 20 years ago. Last night 3 Sons superseded my original expectations. Everything we ordered was quality. Highly recommend and who ever answers the phone was super helpful and his recommendations were excellent. Needless to say I am ordering again tonight!“

“Lamoons, sawadeja, now named Thinoy Thai. This place has always had the best Thai food, barn-none. Service is incredibly friendly, and the grub is phenomenal. Highly recommend the shrimp pineapple fried rice and the pork yellow curry. The place is ?...Btw they're BYOB friendly. 5☆ 2? double?

Dietary restrictions: Always accommodate my nut allergies with no issue.“

“Delicious! Great place, very friendly service.“

“Alyssa/Alissa, I dunno how to spell her name but my server was the best thing about that place. She was kind, quick, smart and seemed to know I just wanted to chill so once I had my food she checked in twice and let me be. It was lovely. The weather, the service, the food was fine but not something I would return for. The lunch portion was great and since it is so close to my hotel I will probably go back.“

“Loved the food and the waiter is very professional“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect but the dishes we got (with tofu) were all good, the tofu was a little fried not crispy, not soggy. It was good. The peanut noodles were good too. Would eat here again if I am in the area. Updated from previous review on 2024-02-17“

“Delicious Thai food - great pad Thai, labeled gluten free gf on their online ordering menu. They have more gluten free options than simply what is labeled, but you will need to ask.

+ extra chicken
+ spicy level 3

Ordered take out, it is convenient to the Hilton Garden Inn Springfield. Everything was ready on time. I will be back and encourage others to try it out.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free gf options labeled on menu + more options if you ask.

Parking: The parking lot is very busy.“

“My whole family loves this place!“

“When my fiancée's Thai food craving hit, we decided to break from our usual routine and try SLA Thai for the first time. Ordering take out through DoorDash, we went with two noodle dishes and a classic dessert to get a proper taste of their offerings.

My fiancée chose the Pad Kemao, a flat noodle dish with shrimp and eggplant. While she found it satisfying with well-cooked shrimp and pleasant eggplant texture, it didn't quite reach the heights of her favorite version from Papa Thai in Bloomfield. The flavors were good but somewhat muted compared to what she's used to, decent but not remarkable enough to dethrone her go-to spot.

I opted for the Pad See Ew and was pleasantly surprised despite an initial strong fishy aroma when opening the container (likely from oyster or fish sauce). The first bite won me over with fresh, perfectly chewy noodles and that great balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors Thai food does so well. My only real complaint was the complete lack of spice, a real miss since DoorDash didn't offer spice level customization for this order. Next time I'll definitely call ahead to request some heat, because what's Thai food without a little kick?

For dessert we tried the Sweet Mango Sticky Rice, which my mango-loving fiancée was especially excited about. The coconut flavor in the rice was spot on, rich and aromatic. Although some of the rice was disappointingly dry and hard, like it had been sitting for a while. The saving grace was the perfectly ripe, sweet mango that she devoured happily. I found it a bit too sugary for my taste, but then again, I'm not the mango enthusiast in this relationship. It's a dessert that would satisfy anyone with a serious sweet tooth, assuming the rice comes out fresher next time.

Overall, SLA Thai delivered a solid takeout experience with some clear highlights (that Pad See Ew in particular) and a few areas for improvement. The noodle dishes showed good technique with fresh ingredients, though the inability to specify spice levels through DoorDash was frustrating.

While it didn't surpass our favorite Thai spot, it's definitely a place we'd order from again - though next time I'll be calling ahead to request spice adjustments and maybe crossing my fingers for better-executed sticky rice. For a first try, it was promising enough that we'd give them another shot when we're in the mood for something different.“

“If you want amazing out of this world Thai Food this is the place to be. I have been coming to Topaz for about 15 years and never have I had a dish I wasn’t satisfied with. Not only that but if you have had the pleasure of meeting “Mama” you know it’s like walking into your own home that’s how comfortable she makes you feel. 🥰 #ExoticFood #MamaKnowsBest“

“I have ate at Tom Yum Koong for quite some time, almost since the time I was 15 years old. I always grabbed a bite here after tutoring and extensive study hours.

After graduating, I am practically a regular now and have tried at least everything on the menu except for the chef's specials and several appetizers. I'm sure they are great too and worth sharing as a family.

For what it's worth, the owner, Anne is a wonderful person. She is enthusiastic about her culture, her dishes, and everything she provides to her customers is simply the best. Though, the food can be heavy and forced me to go into deep food comas at times! In fact, I was so hungry one time that I ordered a Pad Thai with extra noodles! It was crazy, but the consistency and use of aromatics, as well as sauce was amazing.

For starters of Thai cusine, I recommend anything from their lunch special. The salad, soup, and entree was worth it. I suppose that the portion is less than their dinners, but mind you, everything tasted delicious! However, the only thing I'd say is that the food has gotten expensive. It makes sense, so be very careful of ordering here like I did.

As for tipping, it is required here for sit-down and encouraged for takeout. I tend to eat here alone, and there's no shame in that, but I always tend to tip around $2-3. The restaurant does not do any Uber, Door dash, or anything of the like, so if you order, you'd need to pick it up yourself after calling the store, or wait until at least 5pm and call them for delivery. They accept either cash or card, but if it's card, you'd need to tell them your card information and the amount to tip.

Regardless, Tom Yum Koong is a great restaurant. Given how long I have been eating here, the owners treat me pretty much like family. I guess it's a good thing, but it's also probably because I always prefer eating here more than anywhere else!“

“Come On Thai is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—especially the spicy basil and massaman curry. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is warm and attentive. A perfect spot for a casual meal or dinner with friends.“

“Dry good food, fast service“

“I’ve been coming here for about 2 months now and every time I got they are really nice and my food is consistently amazing. I get the pad see ew with chicken and chicken curry puffs with mango sticky rice to finish. I highly recommend going.“

“Very good food and child friendly! Good place for big families to have a big sumptuous and sometimes loud dinner with 4 kids!“

“Absolutely not an expert on Thai Food … so I usually order the same … green curry ? and compare to other green curries I have had before! It was delicious!! ? the location, service and prices are all good as well … and I love to support local restaurants!Definitely worth a trip ? enjoy !“

“This was my 1st time. I had meet with some friends. I had the drunken fried rice with chicken and shrimp and had a Thai ice tea. this was really good a bit spicy but it was delicious. there staff was also very helpful in helping us understand there menu so we could order. I will definitely return to eat at this place.“

“Delicious food, my husband and I just happened to come across this restaurant while in Staten Island, and it was just such a complete treat to eat here. We’ve already traveled back to S.I. from Jersey to eat here again. The Pad See Ew is out of this world. Our teas are delicious our appetizers are incredible, and the soups are fabulous. The owner is such a delight, can’t wait to go back, highly recommended! This place feels like home.“

“Went for lunch and the place was very cute! Nicely decorated and lots of seating available. I got the thai iced tea which was rich and creamy and the pad kee mao that had lots of flavor in the sauce and is not too salty. The vegan puffs were flaky and soft. Will definitely come again!“

“Great food and Great service“

“A great addition to the Bloomfield restaurant scene.“

“We had take out today and the food was really good. We will be ordering again! We had Spring rolls, dumplings, chicken on a stick, Thai Iced tea, Pad see eww, chicken & veg with garlic sauce, beef & veg with garlic sauce, Thai fried rice with pork, and an amazing soup!“

“new owners with an updated menu. loved the old but love the new even more“

“I’ve been here about 4 times now and it’s time to give it a review… this food here is outstanding, it’s truly the Thai flavor of how those dishes should be prepared. The staff is always pleasant and courteous each time I’ve been ! Definitely recommend to my friends and family anytime I take someone new especially to Thai food I take them here.. they have the best pad Thai and wonton soup I’ve ever had“

“Great food, great prices, great service!!! I will definitely be returning.“

“crispy fish with mango sauce was delicious 🤗😙😋“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever had! Staff were kind and courteous! Food was served hot and quickly! My friend and I are both disabled and the staff kindly moved the chairs so our wheelchairs could be seated at the table and even helped us with the door. So excited to find AMAZING authentic Thai food in Jersey City! We are definitely going to be coming here again soon! And they accept most forms of payment including apple/google pay/cards/cash. And they are one of the few restaurants that are ♿️ accessible!“

“Attended a private birthday party there, requested mild flavor and ALL the foods are delicious! From the owner and crew are great especially Mavi! She brightened the room. It is highly recommended.“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“Excited to revisit this place!! Appetizers and mains were all flavorful and timely (we got the Crispy Spring Rolls, Tofu Triangles, Prik Khing, Green Curry, Grilled Beef, and Drunken Noodles). Staff were so friendly too! Dying to go back to sample their drinks and desserts, which sound amazing (Thai tea creme brulee?!) 😍“

“Recently discovered this hidden gem. The food was delicious, different and authentic. The service was personable and the atmosphere was quiet. Seems like this restaurant has seen better days in terms of crowd and vibe. Would love to visit again.“

“Despite a limited selection on thai food, the quality of the food was pretty good. The chicken lettuce wrap was my favorite. They have a wide selection of sushi at reasonable prices, which is an A+ for sushi/sashimi lovers. We came on a Sunday, so no one really dined in but my family. They had a couple take outs.“

“Great quality I really like this beautiful and clean restaurant The owner is friendly and warmhearted“

“You can really taste that the food is homemade, fresh and healthy. They have many great choices for those who want a good introduction to Thai cuisine or those who have visited Thailand before. All at a very affordable price. Tum Thai takes all of the essentials of Thai cooking and presents it in their own signature way. The flavors were all very good and correct. I live in Thailand.“

“Delicious Thai cuisine and exotic drinks served in a cozy down stairs area. Karaoke bar and lounge upstairs, with a nice selection of beers - bottled and draft. Excellent food and made to order ! David, the owner, is a great host and will adjust any dish to your liking. Try the chicken wrap and Scallion Pancakes appetizers with the homemade Thai O'Brien's hot sauce. The shrimp and lemon grass soup is spicy and awesome as well.“

“It is my favorite Thai restaurant. Their shrimp avocado salad and grilled squid is yo die for. It's byob but don't forget to gage their lychee juice.“
