“ Food (4/5) - I think the food here is pretty solid! Had some friend calamari as an appetizer and the pad see ew w/ chicken for main. The calamari was quite light and crispy and their dipping sauce was a good compliment. The pad see ew was solid too, the texture and quality of the ingredients and sauces was what I would expect in terms of good quality Thai food. I dropped a star because of the pricing in relation to portion - imma be honest and say that I've seen places in NYC be cheaper than here and also provide better portions. But quality overall in relation to pricing wasn't outrageous either. Service (4/5) - service here was def above average in terms of their attentiveness! I usually down water pretty quickly and they were very prompt about refilling and also checking in to make sure things were fine. Def noticed their mannerism was nicer and warmer than other places. Experience (4/5) - The ambiance and environment was really warm and nice. They utilize a lot of soft lighting and nature/wood tones to make the space inviting. I went during the evening and the interior/vibe really elevated the entire experience overall. I can def picture people choosing here as a date spot or a nicer/formal eating spot. TLDR: You're here more for the experience. The food is what you'd expect out of a good Thai restaurant but portions are meh. Would come again! ”
“ Found this when I was around the Closter area and looking for a place to eat. Saw this was just a few miles away in River Vale and decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed! Although it's a little far for me, the drive is worth it and this place has now become my go-to for Thai food. There's quite a few Thai restaurants around Bergen County so there's a bit of competition around the area, but quality is where this place stands out. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic and a clear step above the other places in the area. My personal favorite is the Gra Pow, and their spice level is excellent to still enjoy it without getting your eyes watery. You can tell they use quality ingredients in their food. The staff is very friendly as well, coming into check often. This place always seems to be pretty full which tells me they have no issues with their business. I haven't tried their takeout but they seem to do that well judging by the number of orders they have. If I have a complaint it's that the portion sizes are just TOO SMALL, especially for the price. When coming for lunch, I'm always left hungry and the dinner portion isn't all that much bigger. You're definitely choosing quality over quantity here, so if you're super hungry and looking for a cheap meal I'd look elsewhere. ”
“ An AMAZING Thai food option in north jersey! I loved the seasonal crispy betel leaves, they were tasty bites filled with various flavors and textures. The boat noodles broth was delicious and the meat and noodles had the perfect texture. The crab and shrimp curry had a nice flavor with slight heat and loved the seafood in it. Service was attentive and friendly and the ambiance was really nice! Would highly recommend!! ”
“ I loved the seasonal appetizer that they had! We had the pad thai and pad see ew which is my usual order at Thai restaurants. The dishes were perfectly seasoned, not too salty, and not too sweet. The ambiance and decor are my favorite parts of the restaurant. It's very cozy and also has byob! I would definitely go back in the future. The staff are also super friendly and my water was always filled. They never rushed us during our meal either. ”
“ Absolutely delicious and authentic tasting. Something that is hard to find in this area without it being too sweet or salty. Came here for dinner and had a chance to try a few dishes, but I especially was looking forward to the crab and shrimp curry. A little bit on the pricier side of things here, but glad the quality and quantity of food was excellent. Also tried the pad thai and my wife's pad see ew and everything was amazing. Have been back once already and already planning for another visit some time soon! Bonus: BYOB! ”
“ This is the most variety of Thai food I found in a Thai restaurant in northern NJ thus far. Interior 5/5 - nicely decorated and inviting. Tables were spaced apart with enough space that you're not on top of each other. Exterior 5/5 - plenty of parking. Make sure you park on the lot to the right and not the left of the restaurant. Food 4.5/5- I got the Khao Soi and Yen Ta Four. Both were noodle dishes and both were something I wanted to eat but not a lot of places serve it. The flavor was there and I really enjoyed both. There were crispy wontons on top of both dishes and it was better placed on the Khao Soi because the soup absorbed it and made it more easier to eat but still offered that crunch! Normally Yen ta four is soup based but I'm glad they made it a dry version (pan fried noodles style). There wasn't that wok flavor but nonetheless a good meal. Friendly staff. I'll bring my hard pleasing Thai parents here and get their verdict as well! But I have no doubt they'll enjoy the food. I'm glad I finally made the trek over here. ”
“ We stopped by last minute on Friday night around 6pm and luckily there was one table available. Soon after there was a wait to get a table our entire visit. We sat down and right swayed loved the ambience with the lights and art on walls. We got the pork belly fried rice as an appetizer which was incredible with huge chucks of pork belly. We followed that up with the Massaman chicken curry and Chai Ya Talay (seafood stir fry). Both entres were flavorful and and surpassed expectations . I would only suggest if you like spicy to go up an extra level of spice. Best of all BYOB! we will be back to try more of the vast entrees. ”
