Papaya salad was AMAZING

Lived in Thailand for a bit and the pad gra prow and papaya salad were VERY good! Will be coming back

Desiree F.

Was in the mood for Thai food and ordered the lunch special of the chili rice and shrimp L6. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The food was ready and I paid. When I dug in, the food was delicious! I just wish they put more shrimp in the dish.

The curry puffs were to die for. I thought they were amazing and the sauce made them 10 times better. The drunken noodles were good. They reminded me of chow fun. I'm just not a fan of chow fun so next time I come I would order something else. Would recommend, a bit pricey. This order was $25.

Pad See Ew

This is your no frills spot for some solid Thai food for a quick weekday lunch. I liked my Pad See Ew, and the chili oil perfectly complemented the sweetness of the dish.

Drunken noodles aka pad kee mao (gluten-free) with tofu

Boonsong Thai came highly rated through a gluten-free food app and I couldn't wait to try it out. They are currently offering takeout during COVID, so when I knew I would be in the area, I opted to pick some up. It was super easy ordering over the phone and the person I spoke to made me feel at ease with ensuring my meal was gluten-free and vegetarian. My boyfriend and I both agreed that their drunken noodles could have been spicier, but it was nothing a few pepper flakes couldn't enhance. My friends ordered pad thai and pad see ew, which they enjoyed. They have a large menu and a plethora of gluten-free options available.

In an area that is abundant in really good Thai restaurants, add 1 more to the list making your decision even more difficult. We had the appetizer sampler, pretty much standard Thai offerings. The soft shell crab in (vampire killer) garlic sauce was outstanding! The Seafood Nam Prik Pow was a nice sized portion of shrimp, calamari and scallops.I asked for the level of heat at 8/10 and it was delivered! Next time I'll go for a 9. In the end, 3 entrees plus the app came out to a whopping $66. Definitely can't beat the prices here. Friendly and helpful staff , BYO and a colorful, relaxing atmosphere adds up to a return trip!

The best Thai food i've had in this area. We checked them out for Bloomfield Restaurant week. We didn't take advantage of the restaurant week menu (frankly, we didn't know what it was) and we ordered a la carte. Appetizers: Curry Puffs & Crispy Noodles with Shrimp Entrees: Soft Shell Crab night Basil Sauce, Shrimp Noodles in Basil Sauce, Duck in Tamarind Sauce, & Red Curry duck. The service was heartwarming, welcoming, and timely. The food quality and portions were more than excellent. The spice level is to taste. We ordered medium which had a good kick but tolerable - nothing that a simple glass of ice water didn't fix. (Rita's is two stores down if you need some more help ) They offer street parking but with all the food you end up eating there, you'll need a good walk.

Awesome service! Really nice people and good food. It's really hard to compete as a Thai restaurant in this area. (So many options!) This place definitely holds its own as one of the many good restaurants on this street.

Yummy Thai iced tea and lemonade!!!

Not the best meal I've ever eaten. The Pad Thai just lacked depth and flavor. A little color would help.

We got takeout from here on a Friday night. It took them around 30 minutes to get our order ready…read more Parking is always a bit difficult here so be prepared for that. They have a fairly big place for them to be in the "main street" of Montclair so there's plenty of seating there. We were greeted right away when we picked up our order, but the guy did take a little bit to find our name. We got their basil fried rice with chicken in their pad kee mow with chicken, both medium heat. I have to say, this is the best Thai food. I've tried in New Jersey. The price is incredibly cheap for the amount of food that you get, the spice level was true to what we asked for, and it was incredibly flavorful. We paid $14 for each plate and we're not only had dinner but also had leftovers for the next day (for two of us). This is now definitely our go to Thai food place!

We ordered the green curry and pad kee mao, and both were packed with flavor. The green curry was rich, creamy, and comforting with fresh vegetables and tofu soaking up all that coconut curry goodness. The pad kee mao had that smoky wok-char flavor with perfectly chewy noodles and just the right level of spice. Also loved the fresh coconut water to cool everything down between bites. Big shoutout to Stephenie, who took amazing care of us throughout the meal. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel extra welcoming. Definitely a great vegetarian-friendly spot in Montclair if you're craving flavorful Thai comfort food.

Review is based on delivery on a very cold January night, so can't comment on the restaurant or it's service. We have an assortments of appetizers, the eggrolls, were pretty standardish, the chive pancake was less than good and shumai was hard, but the curry puffs were the bomb! The star of the meal was by far the red curry, I usually add to my comments not to americanize it (as in reduce the heat) but I didn't this time, and the level of heat and flavor was spot on! Withouth this dish my rating would have been a 4, as 4.5 is not an option. We also had the drunken noodle that was really good, though could have used some more kick, luckily we had that red curry magic sauce, to take it a notch up

I was glad to hear such enthusiastic advocacy and wondered if he was "on the job."

Some of the best Thai in the area. The duck is delicious (I don't eat a ton, but I can normally finish the full order!). Drunken noodles and pad thai both fantastic. Service is also wonderful. The people are incredibly friendly and clearly love what they do. I can't stress enough how good Nimman is. We've eaten here around 5 times so far since they opened up!

The restaurant is tiny and immaculate. From the chairs to the plates to the artwork - everything fits perfectly together (although the "classic rock lite" coming from the speakers might shatter any illusion you had that you'd been transported right into the heart of Bangkok). The food was incredibly vibrant with just the right amount of spice/heat with some other magical components (that's missing from the other local Thai spots we've tried in the past) that had us savoring every bite. The Thai iced tea? Phenomenal and the perfect 'balancing act' while having a dish of spicy food. At first we complained that the portion-size was small but we'd left... stuffed. Our server (Andrew, I believe) as well as one of the cooks that came from the back? Absolutely lovely people that made our most recent visit all the more memorable. Street (metered) parking. Decent pricing. Without a doubt - worth a visit!

The cuisine takes the perfect blend of spicy, acidic, sweet, and aromatic to form bold and dynamic flavors. Located right between Belleville Park and the Passaic River on a busy Washington Avenue, Topaz Thai is a beloved family-owned/family-run BYOB establishment known for its Thai cuisine. Upon entering as a first-timer, I was greeted by the owner's wife, Bankie, and led to a table by the window inside a cozy, warm, and welcoming dining area with minimal traditional Thai decor. I decided on the Pad Thai () with fried tofu accompanied by Thai iced tea (). The food was incredibly flavorful and fresh, using the best ingredients, resulting in the perfect balance of spices. Every dish is thoughtfully executed and prepared to provide an authentic taste. The tofu was perfectly cooked. Portion size was just right. The staff was warm, welcoming, and very attentive, which made the whole dining experience even better. Since I had the entire place to myself, I had the honor to speak with the cook/owner, Narit. Over the years, it has become a go-to spot for both locals and visitors seeking a genuine taste of Thailand.
