    Crying Tiger - Thai Hot !
    Simon W.

    I can't believe it's been seven years since I've updated this review. I go several times a year because it's a very convenient location to meet friends, but unfortunately it no longer deserves a 5. Today's curry noodles was nice and spicy and tasty, but the tofu in it tasted stale, and the chicken was overcooked and rubbery. Today's dish was a 2/5 though my friend did like his crying tiger so I'm only dropping by one star for now.

    Delicious dish. Loved the Option for meat, tofu and veggies, chicken or seafood. As a vegetarian this is exactly what I love. The workers were very attentive and gave me suggestions based on spice level.

    I'd visited Pru Thai many years ago and really enjoyed the experience, so I was glad to return. We were seated immediately... service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The food was exactly what I'd hoped it to be. Ordered calamari as an app and they were really good. Seasoned well, not too chewy, and with a nice sweet dipping sauce. My daughter ordered the spring rolls that were tasty enough.. But, I truly enjoyed my black noodles. My friend ordered it and while I like to order different dishes, for the tasting opportunity, after reading the description, I wanted my own lol. And I'm glad that I did.. it was more like a snack, savory with just the right amount of sweetness.. my protein of choice was shrimp and they were good, but the star of the show were the noodles. Yum! Washed down with Thai iced tea.. very nice dining experience.

    I've been coming here with my family since we moved to this area in summer of 2004. This is on the better that restaurants in Hunterdon and Warren Counties. The other nearest Thai restaurant in Flemington is great too, but Pru Thai is much closer to my location in Clinton and the food is very consistent. They also opened up a nice little tea shop next door so there is a nice variety of bubble teas and Thai iced teas and coffees. I usually get the various curries, Crying Tiger, black noodles, or Khao Pad Thai fried rice. The lunch specials are very well portioned and include a nice salad and soup. If you're in the downtown Main Street area of Clinton this place is a must try.

    Drunken Man Noodles with Chicken

    This was a casual spot with lots of traditional Thai dishes along with a few creative entrees as well. The service was decent, and the food came out quickly. For appetizers, the Pru Thai combo ($16?) was ordered. It was combination of satays, Kanom Jeeb, vegetable spring rolls, and rocket shrimps. There was one chicken satay and one beef. Both were very tender and seasoned nicely. There was also a mini cucumber salad, which was appetizing. The Kanom Jeeb were fried chicken dumplings. These were probably my favorite. I really liked the texture of these and the chicken filling. The spring rolls were not bad, a nice crunch. The rocket shrimp were fried with minced seasoned pork wrapped in a rice crepe. These were solid, very crunchy with plenty of filling. For an entrée, I had the drunken man noodles with chicken ($18?). This came with stir-fried noodles with egg, crushed chili, fresh basil, and onions. This was a well put together dish. There did not seem to be a lot of food initially seeing the dish, but that was not the case at all. The dish was very filling as there was a ton of noodles. The chicken was seasoned nicely with a little bit of heat from the chili. I also tried the pad Thai with pork. It was alright. I thought it was a little dry as the noodles were not cooked ideally. The pork pieces were delicious, however. Will I go back? I would.

    Visited here for the first time this past week. The location is pretty and the overall ambiance of the place was okay. Upon arrival it seemed as if I was interrupting the waitress's lunchtime. She assumed I was coming to order take out and eventually sat me in the corner. Gave me about 2 minutes to read the menu and asked "you ready" ? No hi, hello? Nothing. Service eventuality reached the basic expected level once she was done with her lunch. The food was maybe a 7 if I'm being generous. The Thai iced tea was the best thing for me. The tamarind chicken seems like chicken scraps with a batter deep fried. Not much thought and effort. The vegetables were a bit undercooked. The lava cake had a weird old taste. Like it wasn't baked fresh but instead heated up. Overall I've had worse Thai food. But, I've also had a lot better. Consistently and with better service.

    Came back this past weekend for another meal at Pru Thai. This time it was lunch and I tried the Pad Pik King with chicken, curry puffs and green papaya salad. I forgot to take pics this time but it's a bright big bowl of chicken, green beans and red bell peppers with a spicy sauce with kefir lime. Very flavorful and delicious. I bet it would be great with shrimp - next time! The curry puffs are huge, crispy and the filling is delicious. The papaya salad is crunchy and refreshing with all the classic Thai flavors. I love how they've redecorated the interior. It has a very cozy and sophisticated feeling. As always, the staff is very attentive.

    Great thai place! Ate here with my parents and we were passing by and super hungry. The appetizers were delicious and the crying tiger definitely had a spice kick to it. Will come back again if im in the area

    Great food. May be the best west of I-287. Acasia Thai will have something to say about that though, neck and neck.

We were only able to order takeout because the place is reservation-only. The owner, Kat, is very friendly and sweet. She described the philosophy driving the restaurant as a cozy place where the limited amount of tables shouldn't burden the customer experience, hence their reservation policy. It's nice to see a business prioritize guest experience over rushing out as many covers as possible. The main point is the food. We ordered Pad Thai, Pad Kra Prow, Pad Khing Soo, and Penang Curry. Everything was fantastic. Prices were reasonable and we were left feeling very satisfied. Best Thai I've had since Lotus of Siam in Vegas. Very highly recommended!

Thai at the Palace is both affordable and a good value. It's in an old soda fountain bar that has been creatively decorated to transport you to East Asia. One of the owners waited on us and was very kind and personable. You really felt like you were dining at someone's home. We had the curry puff and Thai spring rolls to start, followed by the Pad Preow Whan and Lard Na. Both were generous helpings with very fresh-tasting ingredients. We were going elsewhere for dessert, but would like to return to try the mango with sweet sticky rice.

Each dish was so flavorful and fresh. The duck was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and plated in a delicious curry. The drunken noddles came with chicken and shrimp, and were loaded with yummy veggies. The Mussaman Curry had lots of beef and veggies, and the curry sauce itself was so fragrant, flavorful, and rich. The Pla Rad Prik was similar to the duck in that it was crispy on the outside and very warm and tender on the inside. It came with a similar sauce to the duck, and was plated with beautiful vibrant veggies on top. The ambiance of Thai Kitchen is excellent. I was very impressed when i walked in by the cozy and warm, yet upscale decor. It has the vibe of a small, upscale thai restaurant that you could find in Manhattan. I would definitely come back and bring friends if I was showing them around the neighborhood. The service was similarly warm and upscale. We received each of our dishes quickly and with a friendly smile. This is DEFINITELY going to be my new go-to for thai in this area.
