4 Best Thai Restaurants near Newark

“Papaya Thai is a Bay Area treasure. My wife and I stumbled upon it while looking for a good place to have lunch after running an errand in Newark. We had Lamb Yellow Curry Stew and Pad Thai with Shrimp. The lamb was perfectly cooked in a rich yellow curry with potatoes and carrots. The meat was as tender as you can possibly imagine. The Pad Thai was mixed with a sweet sauce that was slightly sticky, which I like so the noodles adhere to each other. I don’t know if this is traditional, but really like Pad Thai like that.“

“We came on a Monday evening which is a slow night in general so the restaurant was very empty. We ordered the Bulgogi bowl, spicy pork bowl and cheese Bulgogi fries. It was a great value meal because of the amount of food there was in each bowl. The food tasted good but since it was a slow evening for them, I think a lot of their food is made in advance. Elements like the meat and the egg don't come out super hot and fresh tasting. Maybe it would be different if it was a busier night and they were making items to order. The Bulgogi cheese fries were decent but the areas with the cheese got soggy really quickly. Probably wouldn't order that again. I would recommend this place for the great value and comforting food. I just wish some of the key components of the bowls were made to order so it's hot and fresh tasting.“

“Excellent Food - I love their Black Pepper fish and their Thai Spicy Chicken. One of the best Halal restaurants out there... they serve everything in plastic - plates & forks - similarly don't expect much in the way of ambience or decor - we mostly just get food to go.“

“Simply Thai is a great family friendly place. The food is great and was customized to our preference. I wish the number of people servicing in the restaurant would increase as very little number of staff were serving so many tables. The cashew chicken curry and Tom kha gai were my favorites. Totally recommend it!“
