27 Best Thai Restaurants near South River

“I've been a long time customer of River Thai, but I hadn't been there in a long time, and my last review was written 14 years ago (!!!) But I recently ordered take away from here on Sunday evening. It's located in downtown South River which is in the middle of a rebirth? I was able to get plenty of parking, and I was pretty amazed that my order of pad see ewe, Thai-ice tea was packaged and ready to go in less than 10 minutes! The workers are really nice here, and I always had good experiences dining here. They did have a sign that indicated that they are not offering dining due to staff shortages. I would call before going there to see if you can dine in. I'm glad I got to visit again. I'll have to (re) try more of their items before my next update!“

“A cozy and comfortable place that serves authentic Thai food. Service was incredible.. staff are super friendly. Would definitely recommend ordering the 'Thai fried chicken, kuaytiew namtok (beef noodles soup) and papaya salad (som tum).“

“By far the best Thai food in Woodbridge. The service is as great as the food. Casual ambiance the inside is very clean. The drunken noodles and shrimp pad thai was tasty and not too salty as Thai food tends to be. The portions are plentiful. I had the lunch specials and the prices are very reasonable. The server is very hospitable and friendly which added to my delightful experience. So glad I found this hidden gem. Will be a repeat customer for sure.“

“our favorite thai restaurant in the local area! it is not only delicious (authentic, good quality), but also friendly staff. they really care about the quality of their dishes and you can enjoy this place as a dine-in or takeout. their noodle dishes are one of my favorite and go-to orders. highly recommend this thai food“

“I love their green curry 5star. I have been coming to this place for more than 2 years. I am giving 4 stars only because the to go order for green curry quantity is reduced and not at all happy why they changed it. I hope they will notice my comment.“

“This establishment undoubtedly stands out as the premier Thai restaurant in the vicinity. Personally, I hold a deep appreciation for the cuisine offered here. Having availed their take-out services on multiple occasions, I can attest to the promptness of their service and the meticulousness with which orders are prepared for timely pick-up. It's worth noting that this is an authentic Thai restaurant, where the spice levels are not to be underestimated. For first-time visitors, I advise starting with the mildest option and gradually increasing the spice tolerance. If you have a penchant for genuinely spicy Thai cuisine, this place comes highly recommended. It's worth mentioning that unlike many other Thai establishments in the area that cater to local tastes, this one remains true to its authentic Thai roots.“

“The food here was exceptionally yummy. I've recently been hesitant about ordering fish due to consistent disappointments elsewhere, but this place surpassed my expectations. Their flavor profile took me right back to the Goan style dishes I once loved. Definitely a must-visit restaurant!“

“Chopsticks never disappoints. The food amazing and the closest to the Indo Chinese taste we were used to India. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and prices are competitive. What more could you ask for?!!Chilli Chicken is my favorite and highly recommended.“

“My boyfriend and I love this place! Our first time trying it we came around 1pm and had the place to ourselves. The inside is very clean and visually pleasing, and the server was also so sweet and nice!Besides the inside, the food was amazing. I got the chicken pad Thai lunch special (only $12!) and it was DELICIOUS. The sauce was so good and it was exactly what I’ve been craving. It’s a huge portion size and I had a lot to take home. My friends also got the curry puffs and fried rice and they were not bad either. If you’re craving Thai, check this place out!!“

“I find it hard to believe I have not argued this place, maybe they changed businesses or owners and my old review is there. Which I can totally own because when I originally started coming here it was just sultan wok and now it is sultan wok/ Asian Express. This is my top choice spot for Chinese takeout locally. To the point where when they are closed and I want Chinese takeout, I just wait until they're open and get something else. My go-to is the general tso is chicken, with which I like to treat myself for lunch when I am working from home. Is this the best Chinese food I've ever eaten, I don't know. Does it satisfy the craving when I have it, absolutely. I would say there are days when I think their food is particularly better than others, without rhyme or reason, but I do tend to find their food tends to be better more often than it's not. Not. I also like when general tso chicken has a nice crunch to it and they tend to have better chicken than other places. I don't think I've ever had it and it'd be soggy unless I'm reheating it which does not count. The woman there tends to be very friendly. Who takes the orders, they have to have a system that gives the name of the customer because she always knows my name and greets him with a hello Mike when she answers the phone. Now if I ordered more regularly I could totally see her knowing my name. However, I do not order frequently enough for her to know who I am, which makes me think they have to have some sort of system. Either way it's nice or is she just that good at her job. All in all, I don't think you can go wrong. Getting takeout from here. I've tried some other spots in town with high recommendations and have been sorely disappointed. I hate soggy chicken and I've never gotten soggy chicken from here.“

“ABSOLUTE BEST !!! I swear this place has some amazing food & price reasonable. Customer service is awesome as well . My BF and I order quite often and they NEVER disappoint us . If you like alil spice - order spice level 2 . Ordering soon as always .Thank you !!!! ;)“

“I've been on the hunt for decent Chinese food for quite some time. Well, I finally found our new place! We never ordered from Rice Bowl before so we decided to try to large selection of food...chicken wings, wonton soup, egg rolls, beef with broccoli, bbq spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, mei fun, and shrimp in garlic sauce. It was delicious! I'm so happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that we enjoy!“

“Great service and tasty Malaysian food. Portion sizes are good and reasonable pricing. Parking is not limited to the two spaces you see in front of restaurant. Plenty of parking in the back for the few store fronts at the area.Recommended if in the Edison, NJ area and have a craving for some southeastern Asian cuisine.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for years. They know me so well that they know my order when I walk in. The food is beyond excellent here. Clean food and atmosphere, lots of vegetarian options. In fact, I was told the last time I was there that they can make my favorite dish, Garlic Chicken, with tofu. I’m excited to try it! Can’t wait to go back.Vegetarian options: They offer seafood as well as tofu. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here.“

“Service was wonderful, staff was really kind and quick. We ordered mainly from their vegetarian menu-veg spring rolls, veg roti canai, pad see ew with imitation duck, veg pad pak, grilled salmon, Thai iced tea, apple crepe and mochi ice cream. Everything was delicious and fresh, with nice portion sizes. My parents hadn't tried Thai food before and they both said they'd both come back here in a heartbeat!“

“Food was SO good. We got panang curry (spice level 1), drunken noodle (spice level 2), Tom kha gai, and salt and pepper tofu. The soup was AMAZING— so flavorful. The curry was good, but not very different than typically. The drunken noodles were so perfectly flavorful. The salt and pepper tofu was also very good, awesome texture and sauce. My favorite was the drunken noodle, I just wish we had gotten everything slightly spicier but it was honestly phenomenal!Vegetarian options: All dishes you could get with tofu or meat!“

“Wow! The dining room is awesome. Ordered Pineapple fried rice and the dish was nicely presented actually in the pineapple shell. They made it medium heat and brought the chili sauce for me to burn as much as I wanted. All the veggies and meats were chopped, cooked and packed into the pineapple. Definitely my most interesting presentation and is probably one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had! Short time in area but I will go back several times before I leave. And the service/server was attentive, fast and very friendly!“

“Delicious food for a great price, especially if you are trying to feed a family. The staff was so nice and understanding over the phone with any questions about certain items. For those living around the area, this is one of the best Chinese food spots around.“

“Absolutely- The Best Chinese Place To Goto in Somerset Nj, The Inside Is alway's extremely clean, The Portion size was on point & the taste of the food, & the great service will leave you Coming back for Second's! 5 Stars!! ? ??“

“Not sure where to begin. The place is cozy but very nicely decorated. The service is very good and efficient. Thai food takes a while to prepare and they kept us informed of any delays. And when the food finally arrived, OMG... it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely worth the wait!!“

“We were in the area to checkout the new ShopRite and decided to grab lunch here. It was not crowded at all for a Saturday afternoon. They have a lunch special where you can get a salad, an appetizer, a main dish, and dessert for only $22! What a steal! I loved the peanut dressing on the salad. The chicken satay had a great Smokey flavor and was still juicy. My favorite dish was definitely the curry noodles. It had a kick but was still creamy. I will definitely be returning :)“

“It's hard to find new Thai places that'll blow your socks away, yet Siwa Thai did exactly that. We ordered the Siwa Fried Rice and a green curry - savored every single bite. Spice level 4 had us sweating but so worth it. The cold coffee was a tad too sweet and they were kind enough to get me a new one with less sugar. Super attentive staff, amazing food (fried rice) and a cozy interior at the heart of downtown Woodbridge.“

“The food here is amazing. I highly recommend the Pad Mei Prig King (I think it’s called). The service is quick and I always get seated right away. After ordering your food, the wait is about 10 - 15 minutes. Appetizers I always get are the steamed pork dumplings and beef satay. The atmosphere is chill, and there is always either a bustling business, with most tables filled, or nice and quiet. Even with the restaurant busy, there is still a TV with news and a quiet-ish atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options, so I would not recommend vegetarians to come here.Parking: Usually have to park on the street in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Is very kid-friendly, and the workers are very kind and playful towards kids.“

“Thai Lanna is a staple in my area and my favorite Thai restaurant. I've been eating here for many years. The staff is warm and friendly, the owner is incredibly nice and the food is consistently delicious! Everything is always cooked to perfection and VERY flavorful. They also accommodate spice levels perfectly so if you want it more tame, they can do that for you. My favorite is the Thai Iced Coffee, it's smoky and sweet and it compliments their spicy dishes perfectly. Thai Lanna is a must try if you are nearby. If you're thinking about it, just order here! You won't be disappointed!“

“5 star rating!! Excellent customer service, food is fantastic, VIP lounge is cozy and incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food! This restaurant definitely has my most favorite dishes and authentic food, definitely 5 star rating!!“

“After a long time got the Kolkata chinese taste! Also had the pleasure to have the chef/owner make some lovely fried rice for us……… and it hit the right spot! A must-visit place for all the indo-chinese food lovers who misses that taste here in the US. I am surely coming back again!“

“This place used to be good but now it's very average. We found a hair in one of the dishes and they refused to give us a refund for that dish. Chicken 65 was more like chilli chicken. The butter chicken was boneless and the overall portion sizes are small.“
