Ordered for delivery this time. We had the drunken noodles (with chicken) again since we liked it last time, and had the pad Thai (with tofu), and pineapple fried rice (with pork). The drunken noodles weren't it this time. I don't know if they overcooked the noodles, or if it wasn't fresh but the noodles were all broken down. The chicken was dry/rubbery and had a leftover taste to it. The pad Thai was pretty good though - perfect sour:salty:sweet ratio. I normally wouldn't order tofu as a protein but I'm glad I did because the tofu tasted fresh, and not boxed like the supermarket kind. Fried rice was kind of bland. Still can't say this will be my go to Thai place but I guess it will do if you're in a pinch. Prices are also cheaper than other Thai spots in the area.

Crab Rangoon ( crab puffs )

We ordered take out while visiting family in NJ. I ordered the pad see ew with shrimp spice level one. I thought the dish was good. The flavor was there and it was a good amount of spice. I also got the crab rangoons I wish there was more crab it just tasted like cream cheese to me. My daughter got the chicken pad Thai. I had a few bites it was good but I preferred the pad see ew.

A cozy, cute, place of Thai gem. Looking for Thai restaurant for Sunday lunch, we soon realized the one of our favorite Thai restaurants in River Vale would be too far away from where we moved in. Yelp search gave us two or three options nearby. Drove in within 15 mins. It has probably fewer than 20 seats, but a nice nana movable wall which can make the entire dining area a semi-outdoor. The owner seems very confident with the menu, and kindly asked us if we were a firs-time visitor. He also explained two other locations including the one in NYC which has been closed due to a fire. We ordered a Thai salad, Sauted ginger calamari, and of course shrimp Pad Thai with a coconut juice, and ended our meal with fried banana rolls. All meals we ordered surprised us and we left nothing but empty dishes! The Pad Thai was well prepared & seasoned and a right amount for two to share. We found all ingredients were fresh. The calamaris were a bit short in amount, but gingers, orions and scallions were more than enough in the salted wok. The fried banana were well paired with honey and cream. I told the owner that he got two new patrons today.

I got takeout from here and thought the food was not particularly good. I ordered a Thai breaded shrimp appetizer, drunken noodles, pad see ew, Panang curry, and basil eggplant. The best item was the breaded shrimp. The rest was subpar. The two noodle dishes were bland and lacked any sort of spice and flavor. The curry was watery and very much overwhelmed by the coconut milk where I could barely taste the curry. The basil eggplant was ok, but forgettable. The one positive is that the prices are on the lower end when compared to other Thai restaurants, but that in itself is not enough for a return visit from me given the food quality.

The staff here is so friendly and efficient. The place is quaint and cute. We ordered a variety of food and everything was great. I especially enjoyed the Thai salad as it was so fresh and crisp. My husband ordered the drunken noodle. It should have been saucier but it was still tasty. The sauce on the wings was too sweet. I was expecting Thai Chili instead, but they weren't horrible. We ended our brunch with fried coconut ice cream and left the restaurant wobbling. We highly recommend this place. Amazing!

Drunken Noodles
Sara N.

Honestly- average food. I'm wondering if it would be better in person. However when you order online, they ask you what spicy level you want your item. I got the drunken noodles at a level 9 because I can handle spice well. When it was received, it was as if they completely replaced the taste of kee mao/drunken noodles with sambal instead of adding more chilies or jalapeños to the sauce. Because of this, the flavor was completely lacking. I also want to point out that even if this was the case, the sambal definitely wasn't spicy enough to make the noodles categorized as spice level 9. The Tom Yum Goon was average at best. Not much spice, overly sweet and shrimp were pretty dried out (again probably because of delivery). Lastly, green curry- taste was totally there, but chicken was dry and I feel like they gave you tiny chunks and maximized on the bell peppers. Just some personal feedback. Otherwise I'm sure it's a good establishment, that would've been better had not gotten it delivered.

Small restaurant that has a vibe of being on an island and eating with the locals. You step from the sidewalk into the resturant (no doors on nice days) Greeted immediately by friendly staff. I was picking up my Drunken noodles, spring rolls and coconut shrimp. 20 minute ride home. I'm thinking reheat microwave for the noodles and oven for the others the oven. Nope, the noodles were hot like they came straight from the stove. Spring rolls and shrimp crispy. How!!! The vented packaging prevents crispy food from become soggy. Drunken Noodles had the perfect amount of heat. A portion enough for two people. The spring rolls needed the dipping sauce. The coconut shrimp tasted lacked the taste of coconut. Next time, I'll skip the apps. Byob Apple Pay Street parking.

As always our meal was delicious. For apps we had: 2 chive dumplings,springrolls,fried calamari,and crab rangoon. For entrees we got cellophane noodles w chicken, as well as, pineapple friend rice with shrimp. We also got 2 versions of Thai iced tea. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. JUAN is amazing. He is a server that doesn't disappoint. Ps Their mango/warm pudding dessert is to die for

Chicken Pad Thai
Andrea M.

I've been ordering dinner from Clifton Thai for the past several years and I have yet to be disappointed. The food is delicious and flavorful. Tonight, I decided on chicken pad Thai spicy level 3. If you like a little punch of spice then level 3 is right amount of spice. I have loved ordering from here since they opened. Always consistent and friendly.

I stumbled across this spot for lunch and called in my order. I ordered the drunken noodle with shrimp lunch special and it only came up to a little over $10. The man that took my order was super nice. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into this cute restaurant. I was greeted and my food was ready. The meal came with a drink. I paid and left. They ask what my heat level was and I ordered a 6 out of 10 and it was nice and spicy. I liked my meal, it was nice and tasty. I would definitely return.

Check out counter

My first time here. It's a cute spot with about 12 tables. There is street parking only. I ordered the chicken pad thai, panang curry w/shrimp, and the pineapple fried rice/shrimp. The pad thai tasted like typical pad thai, nothing amazing. I will add, they did not provide lime. The panamg curry was deliciously spicy (spice level 4) & there were plenty of shrimp. The pineapple rice was disappointing because they used canned pineapple . I don't know about you but, if I pay $15 for a rice dish, I want real damn pineapple! I do like the fact that they ask your spice level, 1-10. The server who took my order was very nice and my order was ready in about 12 minutes. I'll come back again for the curry & pad thai, not the pineapple rice.

Ginger sautee
Jocelyn L.

I absolutely love the food here!!! I've been coming here for quite some time. I usually get a pad Thai or drunken noodles but decided to try a wok stir fry and I was not disappointed. I had the stir fry with fresh ginger, onion, scallions.. sooo good I need to learn how to make their sauce, it's so light and tasty. The fresh ginger taste is strong which I love but if you don't like ginger get something else. The chicken drunken noodles were delicious as usual and again with a light sauce that was perfect. Highly recommend checking them out. Their prices are also very reasonable. I believe that our dinner was under $30!! Can't beat that! Also, the restaurant itself is relatively small but it doesn't bother me.. last thing, the staff is super friendly & welcoming.

Fresh Ginger w/chicken. :-)

We went here on Saturday night around 8 pm. Placed an order, and order came out shortly after…read more Chicken was good ( although i confirmed several times that i wanted 1.5 chickens a medium spice and 1/2 chicken mild, he did 1 chicken medium and 1 mild, but we didnt care and just added more sauce). I went to the counter and requested they bring sauces with the food but the person at the register said to please just take it myself because they are busy :/. Then we got the perimayo corn, literally a drizzle of peri mayo with boiled corn under. We had to request more sauce, and mix ourself. Lastly we got the salad ( tribos) and seeing it was $8 i assumed it would be a nice salad. Literally a basic salad made with ice berg, and a few kalamata olives on top wish i got a picture because it was such an unfortunate salad. Ive had their salad before and its been good . Anyways -overall chicken and rice 9/10 Customer service and sides/salads need work for sure. Them being busy should not ever be on the customers cost and im always very generous with my reviews. But if you are giving a tip option, there should be some service involved i think.

Delivery ordered from here! First time…read more Roasted chicken was so tender and it seems to be like my mother's food. Flavor wasn't very spicier or strong for digestion! Exactly what I wanted I will try to go to the restaurant soon and enjoy the the place

Every single dish is crafted with so much care, flavor, and passion that it becomes impossible not to come back again and again. The taste is something I honestly cannot even begin to describe--you just have to experience it. Sato, the owner, is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. He goes above and beyond for every single customer, and it shows in everything he does. You can feel his passion for cooking in every bite. He is always smiling, always welcoming, and truly puts his heart into his food. The dish in the photo is called "Aja's Special," and it says everything you need to know. My husband couldn't even wait for me to take the picture--his fork was already going in for a taste. That's how irresistible it is. This is not just a restaurant--it's an experience. A warm, welcoming place where incredible food meets an incredible person behind it. Just a warning: you will get addicted. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants in New Jersey.

The noodles were also good, and was a very generous portion. The owner was super nice and walked us through the menu since none of us had really had Burmese food before. I would definitely come back here the next time we're going to Gundam Planet.

Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.
