    6. Curry Puff
    Theresa M.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in Bloomfield! The staff is very friendly and it's a nice cozy restaurant. For the food we ordered a few things for the table: Curry Puffs, Chicken Satay, and Calamari. Curry Puffs - omg, the puff pastry?? SO DELICIOUS. Melt in your mouth quality and the inside is a mixture of potato and onions with curry powder. I would come back just to order these again. TIP: the puffs are good on their own but it's a different taste when you dip it in the cucumber sauce. Try it both ways! Chicken Satay - a good staple Thai dish. Almost always get this when we go here. Calamari - loved this dish! The calamari was very fresh and dipped in the sweet and spicy sauce - match made in heaven. I also really liked that the calamari did not have too much breading. For my entree, I ordered the Guay Tiew Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle). This dish has so much flavor and seasoning in it! It is on the spicy side (so pairs well with thai iced tea) but the noodles are always really fresh and the seasoning is always on point. Not Pictured: Thai Iced Tea and Sticky Rice with Peaches. Thai Iced Tea was nice and sweet (also did not taste powdery at all, so you can tell it's freshly made). For dessert I got the sticky rice with peaches (since mango was out of season). I wish I remembered to take a picture but I ate it too fast LOL. As far as this dessert goes, I haven't found any other local spots that make it as good as here! It's also definitely authentic as I've had this dish in Thailand too. Overall, I really love this place. I haven't had a dish here I didn't like and will be back to try more.

    Chive Slices

    I experience good customer service during my visit to Brookside Thai Restaurant. Curious about Vegan options (largely due to so many Vegetarian options), I find the menu full of Vegan/Veganizable options! I order the Pad Med Ma-Moung, Spring Rolls, and Chive Slices. Every bite of every portion of the meal is so good, so tasty! The appetizers are enough reason to visit the eatery; the Chive Slices are crunchy and sweet, tastier to me without the sauce; the Spring Rolls taste as equally good with or without the accompanying sauce largely due to the Black Pepper. The Pad Med Ma-Moung is good all around though the sauce heavily complements every ingredient. Even so, the overall meal is very filling, find no surprise if you have leftovers. The interior is nice, quaint, and the environment during my visit is very friendly.

    $26 and 4 small pieces of duck : (
    Denise M.

    I was super excited to eat my crispy duck that cost me an arm and a leg but I said it must be good . Well my $26 duck came with 4 small pieces and tons of leaves . So at this point I'm wondering if I got charged $26 for leaves because my bowl is full of it. I was going to split this with my boyfriend and he won't even taste it bc he said it's not enough and he wants me to eat something. I don't usually write bad reviews but this was not nice . Charging people for a full meal and deliver 4 small pieces . Shame on you . Won't be buying from them ever again. I had duck in montclair at Kai pang and even had enough to take home smfh .

    Spoiled Tom kha
    Danny S.

    Pad Thai had no peanuts. No lime. No chili flakes. No Thai spice at all. Just boiled chicken on overcooked noodles with some sugar. Tom kha is curdling. I'm afraid to eat it. Probably spoiled cream. Save your money. These ppl are disgusting.

    What you get for 19.99! Lol

    Ordered from this place tonight and it was horrific! Ordered an appetizer and entree, my sister had to convince me to eat it as I was tempted to chuck the whole thing in the garbage. Whole fish was 2 dried pieces of, jasmine rice that I can prepare better. The only edible thing was the sauce for the fish. The people at the restaurant could care less, wanted to know if I wanted to pay market price for the whole fish? I could. Or you can state that on your menu instead of charging 20.00 for pure trash. Just be transparent ma'am. I would never, ever patronize this place nor recommend it. Garbage!

    This is the best Thai restaurant I've been to. I have only dined here once, so perhaps my 5 star review is a bit hasty, but the food was amazing, so there it is. I tried: Fried Calamari Appetizer: Very good and not heavily fried. Me Krob: very good, sweet & sour crispy noodle w/ shrimp in tamarind sauce. Spring roll apps: Very good Andaman Seafood: Combination of shrimp, calamari, scallops, & salmon w/ clear vermicelli, ginger, mushrooms & mixed vegetables in oyster sauce & chef's special sauce.The broth was amazing, the seafood was tender and perfectly cooked, and there was a good broth to seafood to rice noodle ratio in this dish. Also a nice amount of spice in the broth. Fried banana a la mode: great desert that meets your fruit requirement for the day as well (haha, not really). This can be shared with one or two others. Love BYOB, good prices, and the service was outstanding. I was with a large group and good service can be hard to find under these circumstances, but our waiters were great and I appreciated their recommendation when I was deciding between two dishes.

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.

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.
