37 Best Thai Restaurants near Paterson

“Listen, this is the real deal. Food was delicious and fresh. The flavors are what you would expect from a authentic Thai restaurant. Balanced and full of flavor.“

“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!“

“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’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 Last night 3 Sons superseded my original expectations.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!“

“Very good food❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great overall eating experience/BYOB and enjoy yourself!“

“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?

“Loved the food and the waiter is very professional“

“A delicious Thai experience! The food is soulful and comforting.

Starting with drinks - the Thai iced tea was made with a perfect ratio, so it wasn’t too sweet, and it was refreshingly fragrant.
The lychee martini was aromatic, and strong.

Anytime I see curry puffs on a menu, it’s an immediate must, and these were definitely worth a try. The dough was crispy on the outside, without being greasy, and the filling was very flavorful.

Moving on to the sticky rice with mango. The ripe mango was juicy and sweet which complimented the glutinous rice perfectly.

The waiter suggested the pad thai, one of their most popular dishes, and after trying it I understood why. I also appreciate that you could choose your spice level.

I couldn’t leave without having my favorite curry, Massamon, the spices married to create a piquant dish. I never had avocado served on top of hot curry, but instead of the texture throwing me off I actually enjoyed the creamy aspect. The shrimp was fresh, and cooked well. My only complaint would be that the potatoes were severely undercooked, which was disappointing because I love a soft potato that has soaked up the curry.

Can’t wait to be back and try more dishes:)“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here for over 5 years, and the place is always clean with absolutely delicious food. The owner and staff are always so kind, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Personally, I think the food here is even better than in Manhattan. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent Thai Restaurant! From the moment we entered everyone greeted us. The restaurant and even the menus are sparkling clean. The food was served promptly and at the right temperature. It was very tasty as well. We enjoyed all of our dishes and the service was excellent! We are happy we discovered it as we are new to the area!“

“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!“

“I’m so glad I take the reviews of others with a grain of salt because my experience was great!!! I ordered Thai basil rice with spring rolls and it was amazingly spot on! The price was more than fair considering the inflation of EVERYTHING! I’ll be returning for sure!

Vegetarian options: The basil fried rice was spot on!!!“

“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“

“This place serves some really good Thai food! I spent a couple of months in Thailand exploring the cuisine, and I have to say, this spot really measures up. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re craving authentic Thai flavors but can’t make the trip to Thailand. The prices are pretty reasonable compared to other places around here, and the quality of the food makes it well worth it. I’d give this place a solid 5 out of 5.“

“Excellent food. Fantastic service!“

“This is a hidden gem in Hillsdale and has some of the best Thai food I've had! What really elevates each dish is the sauces - there's always incredible flavor depth and they really complement the other flavors on the plate. The fish tacos have a cashew nut sauce that balances the mango, the red snapper has a creamy coconut sauce and spicy sauce that are great together while the fish (tempura fried), cashews, and garlic chips give you crunch and texture. Plus, the inside area is beautiful and the servers and chefs are very nice :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“An Asian mall food joint with an interesting Thai twist. In reality, I don't think the food is very Thai - the offerings are pretty similar to Chinese food, like Panda Express. Their specialty is the Mango Chicken, which I love and is a much sweeter version of the Orange Chicken. I know it probably has more sugar than I need for a week but it tastes so darn good. The Pad Thai is passable but nowhere near the quality of legit Thai restaurants; I prefer the fried rice instead. They will give you a lot of food - much more than Panda Express. As long as you're not expecting anything more than good mall food, this is a great option at the Garden State Plaza Food Court.“

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

“Good food at very affordable pricing. BYOB Attentive staff. Good parking. Scenic views.“

“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“
