50 Best Thai Restaurants near Teaneck

“To me, Thai food is like Chinese takeout. There are restaurants everywhere, but it's difficult to find a place that does it exceptionally well. On a night when my husband and I found ourselves craving some Thai food, we took a chance on the Yelp algorithm of suggestions and landed at the Thai Shack's door.

The weekday lunch special is a great deal. A light salad and spring roll are served with some preselected entrees, and it's here I have to give the peanut dressing some hearty props. I don't know what they put in that sauce, but it was all I could do to keep myself from licking that little bowl clean. For our entrees, we both went with noodles. I was initially disappointed that the serving size seemed smaller than expected, but don't let the plate fool you - it's enough. At least, it was for me because I felt full well before I reached the bottom. My beef pad see ew was incredible, with tender pieces of beef and a delectable sauce that made me want to spoon it over rice. My husband also liked his pad thai, with lots of soft chicken pieces. If we had any compunctions with our meal, it was that our noodles were a little heavily sauced and teetering just slightly on the salty side.

Service here is friendly. That, along with the cozily dressed interior, makes dining in a pleasure. I was especially appreciative that water glasses are filled from water bottles instead of tap (say what you want about food in Jersey, but the taste of its unfiltered tap water is absolute trash). The kind woman who took our order was open to small customizations (such as undressed salad and added spice in my pad see ew, which is normally presented as a non-spicy dish).“

“Would recommend! Great experience. Got the fried branzino, pad see ew, Crying Tiger, and a side of sautéed morning glory for a party of 3 people. Was a good amount, had a little bit of leftover but everyone was very full.

Favorite was the branzino! Would also reco getting the side of vegetables as it was a great palate resetter.“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“Obviously we like thaï food as this is the the 3rd place in 3 weeks
Here the food is different not the usual curry dish or sate and oh soooo good.
Loved the 2 shrimp dishes we ordered, the shrimp cake as appetizer was excellent.
Our waitress Siri was friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Do try the lychee martini.“

“Amazing food, service, and ambience! The braised pork belly was delicious, and the staff both friendly and professional!“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Excellent food and service“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“Great food, good ambiance.“

“Hands down the best Thai restaurant in Manhattan! The flavors are truly authentic — confirmed by Thai people like me. I always come here with friends. It gets busy at dinner, so I usually come for lunch. My go-to dishes are papaya salad with raw crab, kor moo yang, mieng kana, and the whole red snapper with garlic. Everything is packed with bold, real Thai flavors. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you’re craving the real deal, this is the spot!“

“Ordered green curry and spring rolls. The spring rolls were a bit oily but really delicious. The green curry was good as well. The locatiin is not that approachable as you have to go to second floor tgrough narrow stairs but the atmosphere there was good. I reached at 930PM nad they were almoat stopping taking new orders since they close at 10pm so be mindful of timing. That entire lane is full of Thai restaurants so will try others as well so provide compariaon but overall good Thai food and some good vegeterian options. Hard to find vegeterian food in Manhattan otherwise“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“This is the best and most delicious Thai food I’ve ever eaten. You also have the option to make your dish spicy ~ which I LOVE. They made the panang curry extra spicy and it was phenomenal. Service is quick too! Highly recommend!!!“

“I love Thai food in general and I have had a lot of it a lot of different places. This is the best chicken pad see ew I think I’ve ever had. The view of 1st Ave is super cute and they played great music so I can’t have asked for a better atmosphere and vibe. The service was lovely and fast. Presentation of the food was also a step above and the place is super clean. I’d highly recommend and I hope I come back soon too. Only complaint was $6 for a sparkling water which I didn’t realize I’d be charged for. Oh well. I’ll skip it next time.“

“I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy.
Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.“

“The food and drinks were SO delicious! My husband and I both got the duck confit pad see eiw and it was amazing! We have tried plenty of Thai food and this place did not disappoint. The drinks were made well too. 10/10 recommended“

“Seriously one of the best Thai restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen. The place is small, but the flavors they offer pack a big punch.

The seafood pad Thai, kangkung, and shrimp eggplant dishes were all the rage. I enjoyed the crispness of the kangkung, the umami from the eggplant, and the tenderness of mussels and squid in their pad Thai. I can’t wait to come back and try some more of their delicious offerings.

The duck curry (I think this was a panang base) and the som tum was so flavorful and was packed with so much decadence. I really appreciated how ThongLor highlighted produce typically found in Thai cuisine, and didn’t skimp out on the bamboo shoot. They also added pineapple in their curry, which isn’t traditional of Thai cuisine but really added some acid to the dish which made it so balanced.

We had a bua loi for dessert and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the best one I’ve had, but it still felt like a warm hug and a nice palate cleanser for the meal. I wish that the bua loi had more of a thicker coconut consistency, and that the taro balls weren’t as stuck together so it was easy to pick up. That being said, it was still a great end to our wonderful meal.

Would I come back again? Absolutely. I highly recommend coming to this place with no more than 4 people. Seating is limited in the space so bring 3 of your closest friends and try everything on the menu.“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

“Dining here was an awesome experience. I love Pad Thai and this place made it absolutely perfect. The sticky rice with mango for dessert was just heavenly. Highly recommended. Another fun aspect is they change the decor twice a year to follow the seasons, so it’s always looking a little different depending on when you visit.“

“Food and drink is great - authentic northern Thai food - duck isn’t greasy, the chicken liver & gizzards is to die for - everything is perfectly seasoned & the best part they made me my favorite salad - spicy cucumber salad which isn’t on the menu - will be going back for some more great eats!“

“Food was good. Got an original poached chicken and tried the fried chicken as well. Definitely enjoyed the fried chicken more. Well fried, juicy, and flavorful. The ginger rice was also very flavorful. Came with a small soup and salad. No complaints here!“

“Very good vibes. Love this! 💐🌺🍴🥢“

“Fresh and delicious. We loved the starters and the Beef main. Fun place.“

“Locals know this is *the* best Thai food in the neighborhood. For delivery especially, the food comes so fast it’s almost scary (did they know my order before I ordered it? How else could they get here so fast?). But the food is delicious and the portions are huge.

In person, Buffs is equally great. The vibes are fun and the service is super friendly and nice.“

“Lunch special is great! Appetiser and main for $12.95, I’d recommend the chicken dumplings and the drunken noodles, I asked for a little spice and they did it perfectly. The service was amazing, my water cup never got below half full. Everyone was so kind and lovely to talk to, I will definitely be coming here again!“

“Hello, this is my first time trying Thai food. Excellent service and AAAA+++++“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“I was recommended the beef noodle soup and that was very tasty, as well as my friend's pad kra pow. I would say that the drunken noodle did lack a bit of flavor, though. The service was very helpful and attentive, and I loved the vinyl theme they had going on. It felt like a Thai record store on the inside!“

“Es un restaurante muy acogedor y la comida espectacular“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“Very nice restaurant, excellent food, loved the Roti and the salad, we tried the pork and the duck and they were great. Place is modest and deserves a good clientele. They went out of their way to make us feel at home, reserved parking for us.“

“The food is too good. Try any dish it is good. We love the Tomka soup it is too good. The green curry the yellow curry is too good. The staff and the owner are very polite.“

“The best Thai food I have found so far in NYC. Relatively authentic taste, reasonably priced, friendly service, and less busy/crowded than the Thai restaurants on 9th Ave. Will definitely return. :-)“

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

“Amazing food, authentic- and the staff are so attentive and kind!“

“Love the customer service and food as well as setting.“

“Incredible food authentic Thai food tastes using the best ingredients to achieve the taste of Thai food. Had the Som Tom salad with beautiful balanced flavours and perfect heat. The Tom yum soup was lost for words every spoonful was heavenly in my mouth, exceptionally made. Crispy chicken with cashews was a great dish a little less sweet the dish would have been even greater. Service was great by our waiting staff. Thank you for your hospitality the owner was very much involved back house and at the front of the house keeping customers informed. A little bit pricey but for food like this all Hollywood stars should know about this place, not in Greenwich or Tribeca but on 2nd Ave. Gem of a place don't miss this 4.9-starred TripAdvisor and top 10 Thai place to eat in New York.“

“They have a great food 💯 We will be back there to try other menu. Yum 🤤“

“Super friendly service. I ordered a pad see ew with chicken and it was delicious. Surprised to see such an authentic place on a commercial street on Steinway. Lunch specials are super affordable and good portion size. I'm looking forward to trying the duck egg noodles next!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nimman Thai Eatery in Nutley, NJ, and it was an experience to remember. The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the food presentation was just as impressive. The flavors were an authentic yet modern take on Thai cuisine—simply delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly and full of smiles, making the visit even more enjoyable. If I find myself in NJ again, I'll definitely be back to Nimman Thai Eatery. Highly recommended!“

“A great local spot. Love being close enough to enjoy this restaurant. The staff/owners are super welcoming and make you feel like you are coming into their home. (They often have amazing incense burning that adds to a super warm and relaxing atmosphere.) When our stove was out, we dined here every night for a week. Everything I have had so far was more than a delight. Incredible Fish Fritters, Calamar, Pad See Eiw*, Chicken Basil Fried Rice (perfect amount of spice for me...lovely fresh red hot peppers), Pad Ma Muang*, and great cocktails. Love going to Happy Hour, and Martini Mondays. It is often a little too easy to have a wonderful meal, then when it's over move to the bar and enjoy another cocktail.“

“Good cocking makes it good food to eat. Thums up. keep up the great service.“

“best thai food in nyc! the fried chicken is soooo good, in addition to a huge selection of authentic thai dishes. They also have a great wine list to pair with your food! I had an amazing experience from the customer service to the delicious food. would definitely recommend!“

“Amazing food! My husband and I stopped by for Friday night dinner. We tried the fried calamari, Pad Kana Moo Grob (Sautéed crispy pork belly with chinese broccoli in garlic sauce.), Pork Chops Vegetable Garlic Sauce, crab fried rice and for dessert, the mango coconut sticky rice. All of it was just delicious! Highly recommend coming to try. Plus: BYOB“
