There are two consistently stand out dishes that I always get when I come here: 1. Thai salad with peanut dressing: the greens, cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots are amazingly fresh. The tofu has just enough crispness to it, and the peanut dressing is outstanding. 2. Curry Puffs: Grounded chicken stuffed with potato, onions and curry powder and served with cucumber sauce. Absolutely scrumptious! Beverage of choice is the Thai iced tea. If you want to dine on delicious Thai food, make Cha-ba your destination. Cha-ba is conveniently located across the L.I.R.R. station. I've dined on many meals and always make my train! Lol!

The place did a fair bit of take out and food delivery traffic as we dined. (Good sign). Our server was wonderful. We only saw her managing all the pieces in the front of the house and she was on it. The food was fresh, the place was warm and cozy, and the service was spot on. We split the steamed dumplings- amazing; each had a bowl of Tom Kha- perfect spice level; and I had drunken noodles with shrimp- nicely cut fat noodles in a thin basil sauce. Terrific.

I again shrugged it off, thought it was because they were busy. The next day I received fraudulent charges on my credit card. Not sure if it's a coincidence or if they have a thief or thieves working there. If I go again it will be cash only for me. I will rate them a 3 just because of the food. But.......

We ordered the Thai Iced Tea, Thai Iced Cranberry Tea, the Morakot, and a virgin Lychee Margarita, all refreshing and well-made. The Secret Thai Wings were crispy and flavorful, the Roti Canai with Massaman curry was delicious, and the Tom Yum Soup came in a generous portion with bold flavor. The Garlic Pepper Calamari was tender and perfectly fried, and the Crispy Tilapia Pad Thai ended up being our favorite dish. Great food, great service, and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Definitely worth a visit.

I was surprised they didn't have chive cakes on the menu. That's always my favorite thing to order for an appetizer and most Thai places. We ordered a mango salad.

That was very delicious. The cod was a very small portion. We also got an order of Massaman beef. that was very good too. If I'm ever in this area again, I would definitely eat here.

If I lived in the area I'd be there a couple of times a month. My friends live some towns over but both said they'd return for sure. The hostess/waitress was very nice, easy to speak with, fully attentive, not obtrusive, and fully knowledgeable about the menu. Two of us had noodles, one had curry. I ordered Pad Thai asking for it to be somewhat spicy and spice was added perfectly for my taste. The curry with mock duck was very spicy. (We all enjoyed it though.) I think the spice was infused in the mock duck. Some folks may want to ask that to be mild. For desert we had the coconut ice cream and all loved it. I asked about it and learned the chef makes it. It's not often I ask to pass my compliments to the chef; this was one time I did with emphasis! We were having an early lunch. I think we were quite lucky to sit so quickly.
