Nice place, tasty food, and good service. I had drunken noodles, pad thai, tom yum, and tom kha soup. I only give it 4⭐️s just because, in my opinion, it would be better to cut the ingredients for the soup into smaller pieces. It's easier to eat with a spoon.

The worst Malaysian food I have ever had! I wish I could give a negative star. Their food is fake Malaysian food, over charge , and tastes horrible. This restaurant can survive only because it is located in NJ, it would close right away if it were in NYC.

I wanted to like this restaurant, but the dish I ordered (Pad Kee Mao or "Drunken Noodle") was too saucy and a bit too savory for my taste. The chicken also tasted a bit old. The strawberry milk bubble tea was mediocre at best, and the calamari appetizer was pretty small for $9. Overall, an average experience, but I probably won't be returning here again. The best part was probably the service - friendly and attentive waitstaff.

Did they change owners?? It's definitely not the same as when I came last year! There aren't many dishes on the menu either. The roti canai was Chinese scallion pancakes without the scallions. The curry chicken had chunks of unflavored chicken breasts and the drunken noodles were blahhh! The shrimp they use... I don't know definitely not an authentic thai restaurant.

I was expecting a lot, I heard this restaurant through some friends and so we give a try last week. The place is okay I am expecting a lot of food choices to offer but not much the exhaust of kitchen ventilation not good while eating or waiting for your food expect you will smell the kitchen sauté or whatever they cooking. our winter coat smells oil after we eat, ( even my hair and my clothes wearing ) the food is okay though i know it's fusion but nothing special, the service is okay not bad, I used their restroom need to clean up eww! And the door knob my god I thought i will be locked inside they should fixed it. One more thing There some pillow in the couch table that we eat please laundry the pillowcases, The restaurant must be a little old but doesn't mean it should not be clean, overall experience I eat here to try but never coming back because i went home hungry. Maybe this place is good if you are not like me knows to cooked and appreciate food.

The food was okay, more bland than I am used for Thai food. They give you big portions, which is pretty good. I ordered the massaman curry, and it was really watered down, in my opinion. The veggies in the curry weren't even fully cooked. The noodles were okay, I had ordered the drunken noodles and the pad se ew, and both were lacking in flavor, in my opinion . For the price, it's pretty okay thai food, and you get a lot of food for what you pay for, but I don't see myself coming back again.
It is because of the delicious tasting food, great and caring service, warm, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere that myself and family always mostly eat in or rarely take outVegetarian options: We have vegetarians in our family and they love the dishesKid-friendliness: Great for family
