50 Best Thai Restaurants near Newark

“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.“

“The best Thai food in Union County!“

“Prince & I feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited into someone’s home for dinner — in the best way possible.

From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience. It’s the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention rather than being rushed out of a big commercial kitchen.

The dishes were packed with flavor and tasted very authentic. You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be — bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well.

Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host. If you’re looking for a polished corporate restaurant this isn’t it — but if you want something personal, quirky, and genuinely delicious, Prince & I is absolutely worth visiting.

Would definitely come back.“

“This is one of my favorite Thai food spots in this area. Food is really good. I order from here and pick up quite often. However sometimes I order for delivery and I really wish they could get stickers or something to go on top of the drinks to ensure delivery drivers can’t put anything in it. Or the drinks don’t leak out.“

“Wonderful owners make amazing Thai food. I have been to many in the area. This was hands down the best.“

“Visited this restaurant during the Valentine's Day weekend with my husband and I must say the food was delicious. I experienced their whole housemaid spring rolls, their chive patties and their vegetarian curry puffs, all of which were very delicious. I especially enjoyed their curry puffs, and the garnish that they have on the side is even good with it. For my main entree, I had the drunken noodles and I got it tie hot and it was with some mock duck. The mocked duck was delicious. My husband also got the peanut coffee. Hurry with mock duck and white rice on the side. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some good Thai food in the union area. The service was okay. They could have used another server. As the only one server for the whole restaurant, which created a longer wait time. But again, the wait was worth it. Because the food was so efficient.“

“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!“

“Dry good food, fast service“

“Delicious! Great place, very friendly service.“

“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.“

“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 tried the chicken and rice dishes and the pad thai. Very yummy and welcome addition to montclair. its a bit hidden so im getting the word out.“

“Delicious Thai! Quaint, no frills eatery with good prices and great food. My husband and I each had a lunch special. Him, the Tom Yum soup and chicken Thai pad. I had the spring rolls and flounder pad see ew. The owner served us himself. Plenty of locals seemed to love the place also!“

“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?!) 😍“

“Loved the pad thai I got with shrimp!! 🦐 The service was great too. The store looks very cute from the outside with the facade and the nice tin boxes inside on the tables. With small adjustments it could be elevated further! Overall, great place to take-away and I am definitely coming back!“

“Loved the food and the waiter is very professional“

“Been eyeing 👀 this Thai spot for a while now. I walked in and received a warm welcome with pleasant energy. I ordered the coconut soup 🍲 , (Tom Kha) , Brown rice and veggie chive dumplings steamed. Fresh tasting and wonderfully seasoned dishes with great service. A good amount of lunch specials to pick from during weekdays. Will come back and will recommend“

“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!“

“My whole family loves this place!“

“During my visit, I experience good customer service; an employee is kind and the kiosk is easy to use. I arrive at this location for a Vegan eatery which seems to no longer be there, so I just order the Pad See Ew (w/ Tofu) from Racha Thai Restaurant. The noodles carry the spices very well. The broccoli tastes delicious. The brown sauce is light, not heavy. The eggs are light and carry more sweetness than any other flavor. The tofu is soft, and a good blending ingredient to soften spicier flavors. Each ingredient blends well together in a bite. Overall, for the most part, the meal offers a lot of tasty, spicy, and sweet flavors. For the least part, there is an off flavor (with about four bites) that is so inconsistent with the rest of the meal I wonder if any part of the meal might be post expiration. The establishment offers seating outdoors though the food pick-up area offers kiosks to order and pick-up only, it seems. There are humans working at the eatery. One may need to inquire of an employee if the establishment accepts cash.“

“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 !“

“Just went there with my colleague and we had a really good experience. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We both felt very welcome. Perfect place for enjoying Thai food with friends or family. I would definitely come back.“

“Excellent place for a delicious Thai meal! Absolutely love the clean ambience, service and the friendly staff. This is my second time coming just to try another dish because I was impressed the first time I had the green curry!
Today I decided to try the Vegetarian Pad Kee Mao which had hand cut noodles with onions peppers eggplant mushroom and thai basil sauce. It has been the best I tried. It was amazingly tasty and full of vegetable. I also tried the veggie dumplings and ofcourse it didn't disappoint me. Portion are good aswell as price.
Definitely enough vegetarian option and they even have 🍸 cocktail and also other drinks. Highly recommend.“

“I have been to a lot of Thai restaurants. Red Basil is the best Thai food I have had. Other Thai places are very sweet. Even though all of their food is great, I highly recommend the green curry. Red Basil has rich flavor without being so sweet. The service is also great. Great atmosphere.“

“We came late in a party of seven yet, the accommodated us and served us great food. Everything came out super quick and was very delicious. The server was very attentive and kept checking on us if we needed anything as well.

I’d highly recommend their chicken and shrimp wonton soup, pad thai and their fried rice.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“A great addition to the Bloomfield restaurant scene.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“great food quick service“

“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.“

“Zheng helped me place a big catering order for my Law Firm’s lunch, she has the MOST patience in the world. She made it easy for me to place my order, kept in contact and even answers the phone * we all know how rare this is* she is the best. I highly recommend. This is our new favorite restaurant! Xoxo Zheng“

“The pancit is a small portion good only for 2 person and salty to taste overall it’s great food and service ❤️“

“Since working @ L’Oréal, which is across the street, an employee invited me to lunch here. It was the first time I tried Thai food and I loved it! I haven’t tried anywhere else. The service has always been good up until yesterday. I ordered my food online but I wanted to eat there because my lunch is too short so I waste time walking back to work with my lunch. I think they were upset because when 2 women served me food and water, I said THANK YOU and they both ignored me. They smiled at their other guest but looked serious with me. I used to eat lunch there everyday so I deserve respect! I don’t know where the guy and girl that treated me so nicely went but these 2 women make me not want to eat there again.

Update 1.24.25
You didn’t go “above and beyond” because when I called to order my food to eat it there, the girl on the phone said you don’t do that so I still ordered my food online and when I got there I ASKED you to warm it up. Even if it wasn’t allowed, you should’ve told me instead of giving me attitude and treating me with disgrace. I’ve ordered many times there, I put money into your business I even recommend this restaurant to people so you should’ve told be professional!

By the way, the drunken noodles I ate yesterday only contained 2 pieces of tofu and barely any sauce, it was dry.“

“Wasabi Thai is one of the only places in Bayonne where you can get thai food and good sushi. We come here often and they have an extensive menu! I am vegetarian and always enjoy coming here. I usually get the buddhist delight. My friends love the sushi here and always boast about how fresh it tastes. Ambience is nice as well, as the lights are dim and the place is aesthetically pleasing“

“Awesome Sushi experience. It was our first time there and we were blown away at the at the variety and quality of the Sushi. We had the pleasure of meeting Sam the owner and he had us try some Sushi specials that we never had before and loved it. Miyabi has quickly become our new favorite!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine in Jersey City, look no further. Flavorful, aromatic dishes that bloom in your mouth.

Panang curry with chicken is excellent. The papaya salad has just the right heat, right amount of peanuts and green beans, and very refreshing. The crispy chicken wings are fried perfectly and served with a beautiful sweet and tangy sauce.
