    There is no problem "amending" menu items for specific dietary needs; they cook ever fresh! I had the Pad Thai, with no egg. Vegetable dumplings were not pasta; wrapped in something lettuce-like, & delicious. I thought the fried banana was sautéed, but it was wrapped like a spring roll, & deep fried. Service was prompt & friendly. Decor was...Thai! And stunning!

    Beautiful Restaurant and very clean inside! Food is delicious and a little spicy. Our server was very nice and made our whole evening great. The inside is gorgeous and dripping with gold floor to ceiling. Beautiful restaurant to celebrate something special. The sampler platter is great to start with, lots of variety and not too filling (we got two for 7 people) got a red curry, two green curries, and a pineapple fried rice. All the vegetables were extremely fresh and crunchy. All entrees were delicious and flavorful. The red curry definitely had a kick to it. We ended dessert with the Lava cake, mango sticky rice, and cheesecake. My favorite was the cheesecake as it was light and fresh. Definitely go give Phirom a try!

    Service - 3/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 3.5/5 (generous portions, and this is based on their lunch menu) Upon entering, one word to describe the ambiance: opulent. The minute you walk through the doors, you are greeted with a striking golden figure, which I believe is Kinnari, who is guarding the entrance to this lavish restaurant. The walls have beautiful painted murals, and ornate Khon masks adorn one of the back walls. It is also hard to miss the exceptional hanging leaves above, giving way to an enchanted and serene forest. While the restaurant was crowded by noon, we were quickly seated. After we had a quick overview of their menu, we decided on their lunch menu. Waiting for the waitress to finally come back to take our order was not, however, as quick as we were seated. I'm chalking it up to the place being busy at the time. After we placed our order, we were served water. My suggestion is to order a beverage, as their water tasted heavily chlorinated. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers: Phirom Dumplings - 3/5 stars. Two (2) steamed dumplings that were a tad overcooked. Their filling consisted of ground chicken and shrimp mashed to a paste encased in a dumpling skin. I think it is their rendition of Kanom Jeeb, which is supposed to be ground pork, with shrimp and vegetables, wrapped within fairly thin dumpling skin. Comes with soy sauce, as it was salty. Golden Fritters - - 2/5 stars. Two (2) fried dumplings that were very dry. Basically, these are the fried versions of Phirom Dumplings. These also came with a soy sauce condiment, but this sauce had a slight sweetness to it. Entrees: Drunken Noodle - 4/5 stars. It was a very good blend of savory and umami flavors, albeit a little too bold due to the heavy-handedness of the sauces. Plenty of mushrooms, string beans, and bell peppers, which are greatly appreciated. The tofu, being the chosen protein, was a tad overdone as the skin was a bit rubbery, and the inside of the tofu lost its moisture. I'm guessing these were cooked ahead of time and just reheated when people order them. Hence, the deduction of a star. Basil Fried Rice - 2/5 stars. Another classic Thai rice dish that is very popular, but this was too salty, sadly. It was hard to eat, so luckily, my husband shared his Drunken Noodle entree with me. We will take it home and add additional jasmine rice to lessen the saltiness. It was a huge disappointment, as I stated earlier, fried rice is a popular dish in Thai cuisine. I couldn't smell the aroma of the jasmine. I should have been able to taste the sweetness and savoriness from the basil, but again, it was extremely salty. What was odd was the texture of the rice: the rice was hard. I suspect the rice would have benefited from being cooked longer so that the water could be absorbed. Both entrees had generous portions. The service was polite. They didn't ask if everything was okay when they saw a plate practically untouched. The tables are a bit too close, as I noticed when people sat down or when the server came to place our food on our table. Very impressive place for a date and a great place to meet up with friends to get away from it all. Despite the fact that it wasn't a perfect meal, I would like to come back and try it again, but perhaps at a less crowded time. Parking is within a shared, abundant strip mall parking area.

    Went on a weekday for lunch. Just a heads up they close between lunch and dinner so we had gotten there a little before their break which is at 3pm. The decor is stunning! Love the ambiance with the gold decorations. The food was very good- I went with a local Thai friend who approved of this place- so it passes the authenticity test! Loved their Thai tea. Curry was very flavorful as well. The service is super quick and the waitress was so nice! Would definitely go back!

    I have eaten there once and gotten take out a couple of times. I definitely recommend trying this place. It's very flavorful and since I like things spicy they can make that happen! It's decorated very elegantly inside. I think they may also have a separate room you can use for parties as well! The only downside is the one time I ordered some mango sticky rice it seemed so small of an amount for the price I had paid (but maybe that's just what inflation looks like now). It was delicious though!

    It was a RhongTiam before but I think it's under new ownership. The interior is outrageous and beautiful. They added more seatings in the back as well. The food here is so well seasoned and flavorful. My favorite is the duck salad and pad thai. I wish the server could check on us more often, they didn't ask us how we like our food once in a whole meal But that's okay, I don't mind but just an advice here for the staff team. Will definitely come back! $75 for 4 dishes and a drink is not bad. Plenty parking spaces since it's in a strip mall!

    This place serves authentic Thai food. I tried the Phirom Dumplings and the Cashew & Nut Entree with Chicken. The service was quick, and the food was tasty. The atmosphere is great and looks like an exquisite place. However, the food didn't live up to the standards, and you can get similar tastes at other Thai restaurants. This place is good for a quick business lunch.

    Great ambiance with a lovely decorative interior. This place is in a plaza with plenty of parking. I only tried their drunken noodle with tofu - vegetarian version with spice level 2 and it was delish! I did ask for more hot sauce. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service was fine.

    Dessert

    Overall, great experience. Beautiful ambience, yummy food, friendly service. A few glitches, all handled well. We reserved on yelp, they had no record of the reservation but still accommodated us (so call to reserve!). It was a fixed price menu for Valentine's day. Great options. I chose a dumpling described as steamed with shrimp and herbs. It ended up having chicken which I do not eat. They easily exchanged it right away. I mention these to highlight the good service but also to check items if you have food restrictions! The food was delicious but not spicy (and no one asked about spice level so possibly they just have mild food? But again, I'd ask since they are accommodating). Definitely recommend.

    Excellent sushi-- my favorite is the mother of dragon -- sooooooo good…read more I also like the general t'sos chicken and ask for extra spice .... We take out often but if you're really hungry go for the Buffett -- they offer japense, thai and chinese options-- definitely worth it

    Hiro is an AYCE sushi buffet that also offers a la carte services. I have been here multiple times…read moreand can safely say that this is probably the best AYCE sushi buffet in the Central NJ area. Even if there is a wait, we have never waited longer than 30 minutes for a table. The service is very prompt and waiters are very good at checking on you and refilling your drinks, cleaning up your table, or asking you if everything is good. The food is ordered via paper and pencil, you select what you want and provide it to the waiter. They send the order to the kitchen and you receive the food when it comes out. For an AYCE buffet, the fish quality is consistently pretty good at Hiro. They offer Nigiri and Sashimi on the menu, as well as classic and specialty rolls. If I could suggest one thing it'd be adding hand rolls to the menu. The tuna and salmon here are consistently good and the yellowtail was surprisingly good. They have a bunch of different appetizers ranging from edamame, sushi pizza, to tartar, most of them are actually very good. The kitchen entrees are very good as well such as the kimchi fried rice and the Mongolian beef. Although it's not the most spacious inside, the way they set up the booths and tables it gives you enough separation from other tables to not feel super crammed inside. Highly recommended for an AYCE sushi spot in Central NJ!

    As other reviewers have commented, Pasar Malam is in the former Penang location. My family and I…read morewere fans of Penang, so I was happy to see that a similar establishment opened in its place. Pasar Malam lives up to the stellar food of its predecessor with service that is much better than the former. On a Saturday evening, there were several patrons. We ordered Thai chicken lettuce wraps for an appetizer. For main entrees the Drunken Noodle and Kari Mee with Redang Chicken. Everything was delicious, flavorful and plentiful in portion size. The menu seemed similar to Penang. However they have added bubble teas and more drinks. Prices were very reasonable. The interior was not as dark. Perhaps, the addition of more overhead lights of just some fresh paint. I will definitely be back to try the lunch specials. Note: credit card service charge added to bill.

    We love the variety available on Pasar Malam's menu. Beyond the typical Thai dishes there is a lot…read moreof Chinese dishes available. All of the dishes we ordered were enjoyable. We especially enjoyed this taro vegetable dish we ordered - the taro comes in a deep fried ring shape surrounding all the veggies and shrimp. The drunken noodle was also really good - really nice sized shrimp in their dishes. The Hainan chicken (they call it PM chicken) is not as flavorful as other places we've had this at. I wouldn't order the curry beef next time - it's a bowl of curry sauce (although delicious) with a few pieces of beef stew; you really need it eat it with a bowl of rice and we're trying to reduce our carb intake. Overall good service. And also BYOB!
