Chorng Thong made the list as my new favorite Thai restaurant in NJ. We ordered the crispy duck yum salad, Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao, Khao Soi, and the soft shell crab karee, and everything was ridiculously good. There wasn't a single dish that missed. That in itself is rare. My favorites were definitely the Khao Soi and Pad Kee Mao. The Pad See Ew and soft shell crab were both fantastic too. All many flavors that hits the spot. And this made me laugh while we were there, someone came in and picked up what looked like five huge trays of food for a party. That's when you know a place has some serious fans. I was already impressed with the food, but seeing someone order Thai food by the tray definitely felt like confirmation. I'm very particular about Thai food, and Chorng Thong absolutely passed the test. Everything we tried was flavorful, well-balanced, and worth reordering. read more

We ordered from here for take-out. It took quite a while to have it ready so make sure you plan ahead if you're having a big party. The restaurant looked very nice and clean, I would be comfortable eating here All the food we ordered were really food and flavorful. I would definitely come back read more

Brought a life-threatening allergen directly to our table after they were told about the seriousness of the allergy. When we ordered, we explained that someone in our party had a severe peanut allergy and we were assured the dish could very easily be prepared without peanuts and they accommodated the request regularly. Instead, it arrived covered in peanuts, with no warning. Our entrees took over an hour and twenty minutes to arrive. I was so hungry I nearly left before the food came. One dish was described as only slightly sweet but turned out to be so overwhelmingly spicy that I couldn't eat it--and I have a very high tolerance for spicy food. The restaurant seemed seriously understaffed, and it was extremely difficult to get our server's attention. When we explained how dangerous the allergen mistake was, the staff argued instead of taking responsibility. It was honestly surreal. The attitude was terrible. We were told there was "no manager" on staff. Our table had no water for most of the meal, and when it finally arrived, it was barely drinkable. I will never return. read more

Great intimate spot with flavorful dishes! While the Google address is a bit misleading, this restaurant is tucked in a corner but can't be missed. Would love to come again and try more dishes! read more

This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in the area! Ordered the chicken satay as our app, then the pad see ew and chicken lychee tom kha hot pot as our mains. The chicken satay was a flavor bomb. Very tender and tasted even better with the peanut sauce. Pad see ew was some of the best I've had and the hot pot was so uniquely delicious. I never thought lychee could taste so good in soup! It was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and was a very generous portion so I got to enjoy it for a second meal the next day. read more

Chorn Thong - Thai Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

We found this new fancy Thai restaurant in downtown Ridgewood, right next to the station. The interior of the place was beautiful, with upscale tableware and lighting. They had outdoor seating as well. The menu had several exciting dishes like crab curry, duck, several branzinos, fried rice and noodles. We started with the thai iced tea that was decent. We ordered the spring rolls for appetizers, which were also fine. For entree, I got the steamed branzino on chili lime sauce. It was exactly how I anticipated, a whole branzino filet soaked in delicious citrus flavor sauce. I wish they had poured more of the sauce in the dish. But still loved it. The crispy duck with red curry was delicious too, but the duck was extra fried. Finally we got the mango sticky rice that came with two delicious halves of mango, but the rice needed more coconut/sticky milk. After we ate the top portion of the rice, rest of the 80% rice was just regular. The service was wonderful. For a small place, they had 3 staff members attending all the tables and a separate member was bringing out all the dishes. They also checked on all the guests multiple times throughout the lunch. Very friendly people. Dishes came out within short intervals as well. Overall really nice Thai spot. I'll be back soon to try some of the other dishes. read more

Wonderful Thai restaurant at Ridgewood. Bold and flavorful taste. You have the kick, the sweet, the savory all in 1. Taro spring rolls are crispy. Dipping sauce is great combination with it. Crispy Duck Ted Curry has a punch. Duck is cooked beautifully. The curry is spicy and packed with flavor. It has tomatoes, lychee and pineapple inside, kinda act like a counter for the spice. Steamed fish chili lime is a must try. Very close to what I had in Asia. Strong citrus taste elevated the dish. Great filet skill. Looks and tastes yummy. The place is clean and modern. Indoor and outdoor seating. It's right next to the train track tho, prob every hour there's a train (really loud). The staff are very nice and friendly. She came back several times to make sure we got all we need. Lovely restaurant. I will definitely want to come back again. read more

Chorn Thong. Get your head out of the gutter folks. This translates as golden spoon, and eating this brilliant cuisine in this beautiful facility has the feeling of feeding yourself with your own golden spoon. Ridgewood - The nectar of New Jersey - continues to dish out delicacies. I roam the emptily filled roads of the ridge, with the knowledge that the only thing in front of me and a great meal is a door and some folks with reservations. Now imagine the center of the universe (Bergen County) is central star (Ridgewood) has a cuisine that is only perfected in three places in the world open up (Thailand, Hawaii and Bergen). Is this what they mean by stars aligning? No. This is what they mean by stars fusing. I bet you didn't even know they could. Of course you didn't, simpleton. My astronomical mediocrity in astronomy has me educating ya with false but real confidence. This star fusion only created a larger star. It elevated Ridgewood and it elevated Thai cuisine. So get ready to walk on the moon, space Ranger. Ride this shooting star through our stratosphere and into the overwhelming and never ending darkness that surrounds us whether we like it or not. Gravityyyy is working against me. And gravityyyy... wants to bring me down. But it can't. Not now. Not ever. Not here. Small space, but bright and with lovely design. Somehow the interior gives me Greek and Thai royalty combined. In the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean simultaneously. Great utensils. Lovely plates. Tasty water. And most importantly it does its food right. Yummy takes on Thai classics. Their beef brisket is delish. Great fried rice. Great curry. Great spot. Chorn Thong. Ping Pong. Ding Dong. Chien-Ming Wang. Bing Bong. No matter. Knicks in 5. Rizzler in my heart. LB in your heart, in your mind, and in your phone. Have fun and be safe folks. 5 outta 5 for a fact. read more

This place deserves 5 stars -- and then some. Talk about a true hole‑in‑the‑wall gem. It's an amazing option for Thai food with a twist, and everything on the menu is packed with explosive flavor. These guys really know what they're doing. It's a BYOB spot, and the owners, Mike and his wife, clearly have a real passion for food -- it shows in every dish. My wife and I absolutely love this place. Best of luck to them, and keep up the great work. read more

So happy I discovered Chorn Thong! We came in on a Saturday and it was packed - we're lucky we got the last available table. The decor is bright and the artwork on the wall is so beautiful, which I eventually found out was hand drawn by the owner, which is so impressive. The service is on another level. Mike is the best and always makes sure we have a good time. The food is so authentic and Nana's recipes are to die for. It's also BYOB so make sure to bring a good wine to pair with the amazing food. The Chicken Satay is a must get. It is plump and juicy, which isn't always the case with this dish at other spots I've been to. The Tod Mun Goong (fried shrimp donut), was one of my favorites of the appetizers, the flavors really burst. As for the entree, the classics were good but let me tell you about the signature dishes! Mike recommended the Braised Beef Short Ribs Kua Curry and Crab Curry and he did not disappoint! The short ribs fell off the bones and the soft shell crab in the curry was so flavorful! They both paired so perfectly with rice. We were so impressed that we came back the following weekend and I'm still craving it as we speak. I'm excited to try everything else on the menu because I know I will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and come give Chorn Thong a try! read more

As soon as I walked in, I could feel the bustling energy from a fully packed restaurant. I came on a Saturday evening as a walk-in so I expected to wait a bit but I was fortunate to be seated pretty quickly. As I sat down, I could tell immediately that the owners had a great sense of aesthetic design through the selection of their tableware and utensils and overall design of the interior. The light fixtures, mural and even the bathroom had an intentional curated look and feel. And this design-sense carried through to both the presentation of the dishes as well as the ingredients and flavors. I ordered the crispy tofu and fried-shrimp donut for my starters and shrimp Pad Thai and Crab fried rice for my mains. There was a slight mixup with the Shrimp Pad Thai and I got crispy pork belly instead of the shrimp and holy smokes, it was a welcome mix-up because it was fantastic. The thing that stood out to me most was how springy and fresh tasting the noodles were. The quality of the noodles transported me back to Thailand. The crab fried rice which came shortly after the Pad Thai - WOW. It was the star of the show for me; it was so incredibly tasty. The rice was flavorful, the egg was prepared so fluffy and tender, and the crab meat cooked perfectly. Incredible dish. Throughout the night, my table was served by, who I would later find out, the owners Mike and his wife Nana. They were incredibly kind, accommodating and Mike was so friendly and had a great sense of humor. Toward the evening, I expressed to him how fresh and springy the noodles were and he explained how he picks up fresh noodles and fish every morning. This commitment to quality is what sets restaurants like this apart. Excellent job. read more

Super friendly service. Food was good! Restaurant was tucked away in the corner near the train station. Restaurant was cute inside, kind of tight but not too bad! read more

Overpriced for what was received. -Ordered the Crispy Pork Prik Klue. Portion was like a lunch portion of 10 small pieces of fried pork and mostly fat and a lot of panko. Taste was ok, but for $28, a half of a small take-out container and a small rice was not worth the price. Could have had 2 chicken pad Thais from Ridge Thai. Cannot recommend the this place. read more

Great little spot hidden on the end by the railroad next to Latour! We order 2 apps and 2 entrees Papaya salad and chicken dumplings they came out timely and were delicious next we had the pork belly and the chili lime whole fish both tasty My only complaint is I was expecting it to be spicy and it wasn't. All in all great tasty flavors and atmosphere. We will be back. read more

Excellent food, attentive service and a pleasant interior and location. My only gripe is the cost of our meal was a bit high. I understand the pressure restaurants are under with food and labor costs rising constantly, but I was surprised at the cost of a simple meal. I would definitely come back, but would be prepared to pay a premium. read more

Chorn Thong - Thai Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Ordered takeout from here - duck curry, red curry, pad see ew, and a beef, chilis, and basil dish. Flavors were a mixed bag -- good duck and good curry, weak pad see ew and chilis/basil. A major knock against this place is the portion size -- it was anemic on protein (i.e., duck and beef). The uneven flavor quality, small portions, and relatively high pricing makes this a poor value proposition compared to other thai restaurants in the area. read more

Amazing! The ambiance the food everything was excellent. My kids love the food! We found our local thai hidden gem. Our kids loves it more since it's near the train station! read more

I'm really conflicted in writing this review. While Chorn Thong truly surpassed my expectations as to the quality, quality and taste of the food that my guests and I had at this establishment, it was offset by truly terrible service. It took 1 1/2 hours to be served. Once served the food was delicious, at the right temperature and beautifully prepared. I feel for the owner of the restaurant because she expressed that she was having trouble hiring new staff but that's frankly her problem rather than those that chose to eat at her establishment. Simply put if you have the time to wait for an inordinate amount of time this may be the restaurant for you because everything else is 5 star. Unfortunately service is a 1 star. read more

I wanted to give 5 stars because the food is delicious, presented beautifully, the waitress was friendly/sweet, and the decor is lovely. However, similar to Ira o., I came here over the weekend for dinner and the service was notably poor. Two young ladies to rearrange the tables throughout the night for the nonstop incoming flow of patrons, be hostess, and wait staff isn't feasible. The kitchen was very behind as well. For the first half of the night, I kept looking around as there were patrons at every table but noticed only one table had a salad or starter to eat and everyone else was also left waiting. When the first of our orders finally came, the food was no doubt excellent but we had to remind our waitress of pending dishes multiple times. Everyone in our group was served at varying times. The delays and miscommunication in the kitchen/among the staff inevitably resulted in some of us finishing our starters and entrees before others even got their starters, and starters coming out after entrees. I understand they're a relatively new restaurant but they really need to staff up, especially on the weekends, or dedicate more tables to reservation-only vs walk-ins to better manage. If it wasn't for the quality of the food and BYOB, I think they'd be in trouble between the service and charging $$$ for smaller portions than most other Thai restaurants in the area. I'll give them another try but months from now when they've hopefully made improvements with service. read more

Lovely food, nice ambience and attentive service! Perfect little restaurant with a great owner

Amazing food! I love the pad thai and pork belly. The papaya salad was also delicious

Incredible food! The best Thai I've had in this area. I highly recommend ordering the specials instead of the usual classic Pad Thai noodle type dishes. We didn't even try those yet. I'm sure they are fantastic but the specials were SO GOOD! The Ka Nom Jeeb starter was mindblowingly flavorful. Do not miss the Kamin Branzino. But the crab fried rice is what I will be dreaming about until next time. read more

spent $50 including tip. the eggrolls were ok couldnt taste taro. some of the vermicelli noodles were fried and inedible. the fried pork had great flavor but some of the pork belly were over fried nd became too crunchy and not enjoyable. read more

Great food, atmosphere and location. They have the best Khao Soi in the area. Only downfall was the lack of eggplant in the green curry dish. Maybe they ran out that day but eggplant is usually always in Thai curry dishes. read more

The food was great but MIKE! What a host. Best dining experience in all of Ridgewood.

Food was exceptional as was the service. We ordered 7 or 8 dishes and they all were excellent.

Decided to try this on Saturday evening and had no issues getting a table. The food was excellent - we had the crispy duck, steamed fish (branzino), and seafood tom yum. All were beautifully presented & tasted delicious! The service was inviting, friendly, and attentive. My ONLY issue and big pet peeve was with the billing/payment - no paper bill, handheld device, hovering wait staff, and the suggested tip was based on a tax included total. It's not the extra $1, just the principle, that irks me. That said, we will be back. read more

Amazing food!! Highly recommend. Specialty dishes are especially good. Great new addition to rwood

This is a fabulous new Thai restaurant in downtown Ridgewood. The menu has regional southernThai dishes you won't see on most Thai menus, along with a few of everyone's favorites. Our meal last night was delicious. We had the short rib curry dish and the shrimp and minced pork dish on the Signature menu and the traditional Pad Thai. All were excellent. The owner was very charming and the decor is just lovely. read more
