Pork Laab
Sousakon M.

Food was ok...Very expensive. We ordered wings, literally 2 wings cut into 4 for $11! Calamari was ok. Tom Yum was good... on the sweeter side. The tofu veggies barely had any vegetables.

Dominic D.

Such a cool interior and solid service I been here a few times and enjoy it although its a little pricey but great overall. Had the pad thai and wings Only 4 wings come with it so be warned if you sre hungry and want to share. Good location to take a stroll downtown Redbank and check out the local shops Not sure I need to come back anytime soon but I'm sure I'll make it back sometime

Delicious Thai food perfect before a show at the count Basie theater, a two block walk away! The quality of the ingredients and mastery of each one's preparation made dinner here a standout from all the Thai restaurants I've dined at in NJ. Prices are high, but because they use quality cuts of meats and seafood, and the flavor is so delicious, and the interior so beautiful, it's worth every penny. Next time you visit the Basie, make sure to plan a trip here!

Massaman Curry Chicken.
Sean B.

I was the only one in the restaurant that day. Friendly staff and the food was presented well, smell was awesome, but the taste was a little off. Also like the seasoning didn't take. I had the Massaman curry chicken dish with white rice. Never had it with broccoli. It was different.

The restaurant

Food was delicious, service was excellent and attentive and the ambiance was really nice. I enjoyed the decor very much. I've never been to a Thai restaurant decorated the way this one was. My friend picked this place on our way back home from the beach. They were very patient with us as we tried to figure out what was going on with my friends credit card getting declined (it was a due to a fraud alert because it was a purchase made in a new area). My friend finally sorted out the situation but they ended up just discounting us the bill, even though he insisted he was now able to pay the remainder of the bill, so that was very kind of them. I'd recommend the place. It was quite delicious and I really enjoyed how clean and well decorated it was.

Our friend found this place on Yelp. The place has very authentic and traditional interiors. Staff was professional. Pros- the good was really good! We had the curry puffs, Tom yum (without the coconut milk), vegetarian noodles, pad thai with vegetables and tofu - all were delicious, fresh and flavorful. The portions were hearty as well. Cons - the place is not kid friendly, our friends had a baby, they did not have high chairs and did not allow strollers in, so was uncomfortable. The other con is price, was steep for the place, felt expensive. Overall good experience but given the price, would need to think twice to consider revisiting.

Pad-Se-Ew with Chicken ($19 with tax)
Jim T.

I'm leaving 3 stars for a few reasons. I think this place can be a 4 star option. We ordered a Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and a Pad-Se-Ew with Chicken for takeout on Valentine's Day. The food was ready on time when we arrived but $38??? The portion sizes were small for $19 per item, just slightly bigger than an $8-10 Chinese Takeout container. I know it's Red Bank but that was off putting right from the start. I had the Pineapple Fried Rice before and it was OUTSTANDING, this time I'd say it was average with very few pieces of pineapple and chicken. A plate of rice (not even pork fried with little chunks of pork) for $19 is just borderline absurd. Without the pineapple it's just fried rice. If you're going to call it Pineapple Fried Rice you should be able to have more than 5-6 bites with a piece of pineapple in it. The Pad-Se-Ew was okay, I've definitely had better. Again, a small portion that just didn't hit the spot. The "chicken" was like shredded teeny tiny little pieces, I honestly didn't even taste it anytime I ate it. To call it chicken was also borderline absurd because there might have been 1-2oz in the dish. The Chinese Broccoli is always one of my favorites but this dish also had some carrots and even a piece of what I think might have been cabbage? Just weird and a filler in an already small dish. Idk if it was because it was Valentine's Day but you can easily get either of these dishes for $10-12 at most casual Thai places. Spending $19 per is just not something I'll be doing very often especially for low quality. Not sure if I'll come back or try somewhere different next time.

The food is delicious, service was good, great ambiance and location, and love all the decorations. However, it's expensive for Thai food.

Chicken curry and green curry fried rice

This place is so cute and the inside has such a calming feel! I'm so happy we stumbled across this place! We both loved our entrees, the green chicken curry was spicy and flavorful! The chicken curry was amazing, just wish the portion was bigger. This spot also has great Thai ice teas that were so yummy. Mango sticky rice is one of my favorite desserts and I thought it was so well made. No mango compares to the champagne mango! So happy that was the type of mango served. Great place for Thai food!

Peanut chicken good, but it didn't have any authentic Thai flavor
Jennifer T.

I usually go to Kunya Siam in Atlantic Highlands for authentic Thai food, but I wanted to try Muang Thai because they had a huge menu. They have so many dishes here that Kunya Siam doesn't have on their menu. We ordered the papaya salad to start which was very good! It was large enough for two people to share. It was packed with authentic Thai flavor. For entrees we had the peanut chicken and the shrimp with sweet and sour sauce. Neither dish had any authentic Thai flavor. I ordered those entrees at other Thai restaurants before, and at this restaurant it tasted more Americanized. It felt like we were eating Chinese food instead of Thai food. On a positive note the portions are generous here, and they do serve you quality food. It was good just not what I came here for. I wanted authentic Thai food not Americanized Thai food. The owner was very nice, and the place was very clean. If you like Americanized Thai food then this is your place.

Side salad with lunch special.  Peanut dressing.
Em K.

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how festive and brightly colored the space is. My jaw dropped when I saw how expensive the dishes are here. For example, they charge $16.95 for fried rice, $18.95 for pad thai, and $25.95 for all of their chef specials. Do you just want a basic red curry with shrimp? That'll cost you $24.95 I could go on and on. It's total lunacy. Having lived in both Middlesex and Somerset counties, I've been spoiled by a multitude of cheap and delicious Thai joints. I guess Muang Thai needs to charge more to afford their absurdly expensive Red Bank rent, and I assume that they're easily getting away with it, as there aren't many Thai options in the area. The lunch special, however, wasn't a bad deal, but they only run it during the week, so you're basically never going to be able to get it. For $10.95 you get a salad and a main. There are many different mains to choose from, which is nice. Their lunch portion must be significantly smaller than their dinner portion, as I easily devoured my red curry with beef. It was pretty good. It was a little too salty and the peppers were undercooked. I tried to substitute brown rice for white, but they wanted to charge me $3 to do that (more robbery), so I stuck with the white. My friend liked her pad Thai, and her portion was larger than mine. I'd come back for lunch, but I wouldn't pay those prices for dinner.

The food: we started off with spring rolls, very tasty. I then had the Tom Ka Kung soup, what a great surprise. Just the right sweetness from the coconut milk and just the right amount of heat, not too spicy. Then the Panang Lamb arrived. OMG this was an amazing dish. The flavors were amazing. I got it with medium heat and it was perfect. Just the right amount to where you feel it but you want more. The lamb was cooked wonderfully and the vegetables had the right amount of tenderness. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for dessert. I was surprised how empty it was, but all that meant was we had great service. Maybe the secret isn't out on this place. I will definitely add this to my list when I travel out here again (monthly). Give it a shot, I'm hoping you will be as surprised as I was. I had to give a shout out cause it was really good.

I saw some mixed reviews for Teak before we went, and after reading through quite a few of them, my…read morebest guess was that most of the complaints were tied to a nightclub-type vibe on a possible rooftop bar rather than the restaurant itself. We showed up hoping to snag bar seats, but it was busy and honestly a little warm for my liking. I know, I know, after the winter we've had, I have absolutely no right to complain. Either way, we ended up in an outside room with all the windows open to the patio and it was genuinely perfect. Our server Julie was fantastic. Attentive in all the right ways, including the kind of attentive where she noticed us glancing around and came over to check on us. We weren't actually looking for anything; we were just scoping out the space. Still, I appreciated the hustle. My partner ordered a gin martini, extra dirty; I went with a prosecco. Both came out cold and fast. We ordered edamame, lotus buns, the pear and crispy goat cheese salad, and the aburi roll. The edamame were solid. Nice pop of lime, though I could have used a heavier hand with the salt. The lotus buns were a revelation. Two pillowy bao buns, each stuffed with a generous slab of slow roasted pork belly glazed in hoisin, with a pickled cucumber tucked in alongside it. I'd never had anything quite like them, and the balance was what got me: the brine and snap of the pickle cutting right through the sweetness of that glaze. Really well thought out. The aburi roll was tasty; nothing jumped out as the star moment, but everything played nicely together and it went down easy. And then there was the salad. Oh, the salad. I could eat that salad every single day of the week. Crispy fried goat cheese medallions on a salad is basically a guaranteed order for me, so that's what reeled me in initially. But once I actually started eating it, I forgot all about the goat cheese. Mixed greens, thin pear slices, halved grapes, spiced pecan halves, all dressed in a honey mustard vinaigrette that was genuinely outstanding. I've already started thinking about how to recreate it at home, which is the highest compliment I can give a salad. Teak delivered across the board. Don't let the rooftop reviews scare you off from the restaurant itself.

THE FOOD * Chef's Sashimi Bowl: Bright and tasty with slices of tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. It came professionally plated with vegetable garnishes and a few dried sweet potato and garlic chips for texture. * Oysters & Caviar: The ice-cold oysters topped with black caviar were incredibly fresh. The yuzu/ponzu sauce and sliced green onions added great flavor. Served at the perfect temperature. * Kale Caesar Salad: The surprise here was the spicy breadcrumbs, which made the dish when their spice and crunch came in alongside the creamy dressing and kale. * Tip: I would order the dressing on the side next time, and avoid pairing this with the French Onion Soup Dumplings (too many creamy/heavy components for one meal). * French Onion Dumplings: An okay dish with nice gooey cheese, but a fairly flat overall flavor profile. * Roasted Salmon: Served with a tasty, crisp crust, but it was a bit dry on the inside. It came with nice stir-fried vegetables and slightly underdone coconut rice. THE WINE * A nice selection of wines by the glass. We tried a spread of Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, and Pinot Noir. THE SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE * Special thanks to Rigo (the sushi chef). He served up amazing sashimi and clearly draws on his 20+ years of experience at TEAK. He was incredibly personable, clearly enjoys his craft, and his presentation was excellent! * Thank you to Olivia, a new bartender upstairs, for her attentive and professional service! Wishing you the best in picking up those great line dance routines. IMPORTANT LOGISTICS Ordering: Note that you must order all your dishes at one time.

Since moving to upstate NY four years ago, I only get to Good Karma when visiting family in NJ. During our latest trip we stopped at Good Karma to pick-up dinner on the way to my parent's house. We ordered the Love Bowl, Gado Gado Salad, and the Live Nachos. Issues: 1) The Gado Gada salad was a big miss. It's supposed to include lettuce, tofu, cabbage, carrots, roasted peanuts, and a sesame seed mix. There was ZERO sesame seed mix and literally ONE roasted peanut. We had asked the tofu be swapped for beans, which did happen, but basically all my wife got was a salad with lettuce and beans. 2) Live Nachos: what a HUGE disappointment. I've had these a number of times in the past and was really looking forward to these. One of my favorite parts has always been the creamy cashew sour cream. THIS TIME, there was one small dollop of the cashew cream. We basically paid $15 for a box of seasoned lettuce with 8 nacho chips -- not nearly enough chips to even eat with our seasoned lettuce. The Love Bowl, fortunately, was on par with my past experiences. However, the experience still left me questioning whether it's worth returning to Good Karma next time.

The server was extremely friendly, truly a standout, warm, attentive, and just wonderful throughout our visit. There was a slightly awkward moment at the entrance: a sign told us to wait to be seated, but no one was there to greet us. Instead, a man behind the bar called out from across the room to ask how many were in our party, then simply told us to "sit anywhere." It wasn't a big deal, but it felt a little off-putting and impersonal. As for the food: The wonton soup had good flavor but was just warm which was disappointing on a freezing cold day when a hot bowl of soup would have hit the spot. The pork bun and dumplings were delicious. The tea was also very good, and the overall service was prompt and efficient. It's a solid place with a friendly atmosphere and tasty dishes. Despite the small oddities, I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
