I've been coming to Pru Thai in downtown Clinton for years, and it is by far my favorite Thai restaurant in the area! First and foremost, you can't beat Pru Thai's gluten-free options. There are so many dishes I can enjoy that I rarely find gluten-free at other restaurants, including the crispy Chicken Tamarind and the fried calamari with sweet chili sauce. The gluten-free Crying Tiger Beef is another favorite of mine. It's flavorful, tender, and consistently delicious. I can't recommend it enough! They also have plenty of great vegetarian and vegan options, with tofu and vegetables available in a variety of dishes. I especially recommend the Pad Garlic and Pad Basil. The portions are generous for the price, and the food has been consistently delicious throughout the years I've been coming here. Service is always quick, and the staff is incredibly kind. Rose, in particular, is so sweet, warm, and welcoming! The atmosphere is cute and casual during the day and becomes a little more intimate at night with the darker mood lighting. I've also visited their Lambertville location, which has a really cute, chic, trendy atmosphere, but when it comes to the food, Clinton is still my favorite. I ordered the Crying Tiger Beef in Lambertville as well, and while it was good, the Clinton version was noticeably more flavorful. Pru Thai is easily one of my favorite local restaurants and one I come back to again and again. Amazing food, wonderful service, and some of the best gluten-free options around. 10/10. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Pru Thai - Calamari (GF) - Thai Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

My husband and I were visiting my daughter and her family in the area, and the suggested this place because of the gluten free options available. Both my daughter and youngest granddaughter are gluten intolerant, and have eaten here before. This was a take-out order, and was ready in 10 minutes. We ordered a chicken pad thei, the chicken kabobs, crying dragon entree, pineapple rice, and two orders of fried tofu. The extra to our order was the peanut sauce, which my daughter said was very good. However, a few minutes after eating was when both of them expressed stomach discomfort. We can only assume that the peanut sauce has an ingredient containing gluten - such as the soy sauce. My food was good, but I wouldn't say it was great. My second granddaughter enjoyed her pineapple rice. Notsure if I would go out of my way to return. read more

Excellent food, kind staff and great atmosphere. I ate outside on a Friday night and enjoyed the bands . The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the Tofu Feast. The tofu was soft and veggies were delicious. It had a sweet peanut sauce that was very tasty. Looking forward to getting back there. read more

I had been there before and was happy with the meal maybe a few years ago. This time, Coconut based soup was sour. Chicket Pad Thai was drowning in sauce. Then at the end of the meal, server asked where her tip was (that was sitting on the table). Very disappointed. read more

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. read more

we've gotten takeout here quite a few times and everything is delicious! I particularly like the pad Thai and the crispy shrimp

I've been to this Thai place many times before and always had great food here. Tonight I went here with my friends and every dish we ordered had an over powering fish sauce smell/taste. Something changed. I didn't like the food at all. And they automatically added 20% tip for a party of 3. Didn't give a copy of the receipt either. read more

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. read more

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

Best Thai around hands down! Food is always fresh, service is great and the vibe is perfect. Great outdoor seating and BYOB!

Pru Thai in Clinton, NJ is a quaint, warm restaurant located near the center of Clinton, NJ on Dickens Lane. The food and service are always great with wait staff remembering returning customers names! Meals are very reasonably priced and are consistently fresh with no one in our family of five having a bad experience - a rarity! We love Thai food and have been to many Thai restaurants, Pru Thai remains at the top of our list. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love it here! Food is super good and there are many options that are dairy free! Ofcourse if you have a peanut allergy be very careful. But service is always amazing. They are so kind and sweet. This has always been my hidden gem. Also make sure to try their Thai tea! It's the best. I also love the lighting and vibes inside. They even have outdoor seating in the summer in their cute little alley. read more

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. read more

Best Thai food around. People so nice. Love the Crying Tiger Definitely a favorite place read more

Delicious, with some very interesting menu items that I haven't seen elsewhere. Folks came here just for tea and a snack.

Love this spot and it's a hidden gem in Hunterdon county. People love the Red Mill but I think this is the not to be missed spot in Clinton. I prefer eating at the restaurant as opposed to to takeaway. The food has nice heat and flavor. My family enjoys the pad thai from here and I enjoy the curries and story fry dishes. read more

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. read more

The ambiance was nice, the service was quick. The spring rolls weren't good, it was as if it was just microwaved or stale sitting out for a while. The Thai iced tea was good & I got the pad Thai which had a unique sauce on it, more saucier than usual and a bit on the saltier side. My husband got the basil fried rice which was actually really good. read more

Quick service & very tasty. I just can't score them higher when the portion was so skimpy. I found 5 medium sized shrimp in my drunken noodles & the noodles weren't overly plentiful either. The veggies were quite good! Most Thai places give me enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Not so today, but perhaps they are more generous with chicken. I would still stop here again when in the area. Looks like byob is ok which is good to know for the future! read more

Pru Thai - Drunken Noodles with Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

Clean restaurant. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I recommend you make a reservation if you want booth seating. Area is easy to find parking. There doesn't seem to be too many other dine-in options in the area, which is odd for an affluent town. The food was tasty. Not the best Thai food I've had but it's pretty good. I would revisit if in the area. The tea is only $3.50 for what you see in the image. Good experience. read more

Consistently great Thai food. They will make things that's aren't on the menu too. Curry puff appetizer is a fave.

Good variety of Thai food, including vegetarian food. And great service makes for fine dine in or takeout.

Pru Thai is a cute find in downtown Clinton! Had decided to go here for a late lunch with some family. And happily they were able to accommodate our group of 9...which was wonderful! The waitress welcomed us and our table and was already set for us with cutlery, placemats, menus, and glasses of water. As we settled in, our waitress started with our beverage orders. We started with the calamari as an appetizer. It was nicely fried and served with a Thai chili sauce. I had ordered the drunken man noodles with beef and my boyfriend had ordered the Duck Tamarind. The drunken noodles had generous helpings of beef with flat noodles and vegetables. I wasn't that adventurous with spiciness and got it mild. Very good! My boyfriend enjoyed the duck--it was cooked perfectly and served with some rice. He had enjoyed his meal! And of course I ordered a Thai iced tea and it delicious! Its a sweet drink but not overly sweet. They have a great variety of classic Thai meals. It is definitely worth visiting again when I'm in the area. And the restaurant is small and nicely decorated. Definitely has a nice aesthetic. Parking is available on the side streets. read more

"I've lived in Thailand for two years, and finding authentic Thai food in the U.S. has been a challenge for me. After trying several restaurants that didn't quite hit the mark, I finally decided to try Pru Thai, and I'm so glad I did! I went with my husband and son, who is visiting from out of town, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The flavors were spot-on and reminded me of the real deal back in Thailand. I can say it's pricey but If you're craving authentic Thai cuisine, Pru Thai is the place to go!" read more

The food here is good, but the service was so bad I hardly know what to say. My family arrived around 4pm. We were the only customers and asked to sit outside. There were 2 waitresses but I had to go inside the restaurant TWICE. Once to ask a question about the menu,the next time to get them to take our order. I asked about 1 dish and the waitress had no idea. My father then had to go inside to get the check. Appalling service considering the clientele. read more
