“Terrific experience! Authentic Thai, family run restaurant. Everything was served with such hospitality, flavor, and generosity— true Thai style. I live in NYC where there is an over abundance of Thai places which can be hit or miss and I’ve always been so disappointed with the few Thai places I’ve tried in Jersey— typically they miss the mark with too much sugar or watery curries and are overpriced because of the scarcity of Thai options here. Spring rolls were so crispy and felt fresh made vs frozen. I opted simple for my kids and ordered grilled salmon— it was savory and flavorful on a bed of deliciously assorted tender vegetables. The salmon was served with a side of peanut sauce which I often find quite standard (aka bottled) HOWEVER this peanut sauce was chunky and not overly sweet, a tad of tang— definitely house made. Next up, I looove a good red curry and I WAS NOT disappointed , so creamy and flavorful with a perfect amount of spice that left a tingle but wasn’t too much to handle. Yummy crisp bamboo shoots, string beans, and peppers. I ordered with the snapper which I don’t see offered in many Thai places, so what a treat. It was served so crispy and hot before it soaked into the curry. To note, they were closing for the night and truly were so kind to seat us… with that being the case, brown rice was the only option, I thought it would taste like cardboard. I was totally wrong— it was fluffy and grainy and flavorful, my kids asked for more! My husband had the Pad Se Eww and said it was on point— my little son a picky eater shared with him (sans veggies) and cleared his plate which said a lot! Terrific place, great for kids, low key, cozy and warm. Perfect for when you’re looking for a comfortable spot that’s not too upscale or overly pricey. Extra note, we did not order from the kids menu, but such wonderful kid options for those children that might not have the palate for Thai food. Extra bonus for the vegetarians or non meat eaters like me; they have mock duck on the menu which is always such wonderful option for those who know. What really made our experience special was learning that the family matriarch cooks everything herself with love— you can truly taste it. Such kind people— their touch permeated the flavors. Can’t wait to return! Thank you for a fabulous family Thai dinner!”
