Solid thai food option for lunch - whether you're stopping in or getting take out. (Haven't had dinner here) Their lunch specials are very reasonably priced and plenty to choose from. I have been coming here for about 5 years now and food has been consistently good. read more

I'm only giving the 2 stars bc the food is ok. I would give 0 stars for service or lack thereof. Every time we call for takeout they are rude - if it's 11:29 and they open at 11:30, they'll make you call back... Absurd! When we've eaten there - we've had menus thrown at us and really no appreciation for our patronage. I think a basic course in social etiquette would benefit here. read more

A reviewer complained that the food was so spicy that he couldn't feel the inside of his mouth. Hello? It's Thai food. If your taste buds are timid there are plenty of wishy washy Thai restaurants around that will bland-down everything to what I call "gringo Thai". Fortunately Pru Thai wins my praise for honoring my spicy request with truly flavorful food. I ordered the Pad Thai chicken which isn't normally made hot but they made it just at heat level I love! The Thai Iced Tea was so excellent I ordered two. Definitely go here if you like your Thai hot and you're tired of convincing your server that you know what hot means. I'm sure they will also make it bland for the gringos. read more

This place is a must for vegetarian/vegans. Absolutely perfect. The mock duck is delicious and everything is very fresh. They also have very good tea here. Clinton is a beautiful town so the aesthetic is amazing. Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant. read more

This is one of my favorite Thai places!!!!! Love the sample appetizer , pad Thai and pad see wo (blackened noodles)

Stopped in for lunch. Loved the papaya salad. Presentation and flavor were spot on. Chicken dumplings were delicious. Service lovely and prices very fair. Will be back. read more

Been to this place a few times - each time I expect it to get better but it doesn't. I love spicy thai food & this place makes it hot, but the portion sizes are not worth $12 an entree, especially since I'm a vegan & only get things with veggies and tofu/seitan. I've had the green curry, a cashew dish, and the mock duck. Definitely prefer the mock duck, especially at Level 3 (the hottest they offer). I'm giving it 3 stars because the taste is great, but the portions are small. I only go to this place when I'm not buying. read more

I used to come here at least once a week. Their food was, generally speaking, consistently above average. However, my last time going there, I got take out, and I crunched into a piece of broken porcelain/ broken plate that they put into my Drunken Man Noodles. The broken pieces were sharp. Sharp as in, "I cut my finger trying to dig this out of my mouth," sharp. What bothers me about this place is not that I think their food is bad, but the lack of care that goes into fixing something that's legitimately wrong. For example: I've called and emailed them several times in an attempt to let them know what had happened. I wasn't looking for compensation...I wasn't even looking for a refund on my meal! I was just looking for an, "I'm sorry..." or some acknowledgement. Instead, I was ignored or hung up on. Disappointing. read more

First time,I ate here and i fell sick! Second time, tried a new item but food smelled stale.Bad experience,will not recommend. I dont have an option to give a negative rating here... read more

As an exchange student, I have lived in Bangkok for quite some time. When I heard about this place from a friend, my ears perked up. I was craving for some authentic Thai food. That was a mistake... although they had several traditional Thai dishes, all seemed westernized. However, the crowd was largely American and I can imagine that most would not be able to take the heat of true Thai food. I would still give it 4-stars for the nice decor, good service and making Thai food more accessible to people in this region. I would suggest having a few traditional Thai recipes for purists like me. read more

The portions are very small and skimpy... Also overpriced. usually at other Thai places the portions are big enough that I have leftovers for 1-2 more meals, but here it's barely enough for one meal. The flavor is very bland compared to most Thai places I've been to as well. It's a shame they are the only Thai in Clinton. read more

An excellent restaurant with great food and great service. The prices are reasonable and the quality is high. If you like Thai cuisine, don't skip over this establishment, it is authentic in every way. read more

I've always loved this Thai food. Good atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. Quick service. I love coming for lunch service.

It is small and crowded.But their Thai food is good.

I really liked this place. It is nice to have something different in town. I tried the massaman curry, it was very good. I like that it is a BYO as well. read more

Everyone at the restaurant was friendly and the food is DELICIOUS! i have been there 2 times and all of the food has been deliciously complex and fabulous! I got the inferno chicken one time which they light on fire as they bring it to your table and the sauce was excellent. one dish my friend got was delicious but almost too spicy to eat at level 2 even though we love spicy food. would definitely go back again! read more

Pineapple fried rice, tofu feast, pad thai, and black noodles are all amazing! I wish the lunch specials ran longer. Dinner is overpriced but yummy read more

honestly, it's thai and it's in clinton so it's got that going for it due to the proximity to me. however, i'd rather drive a bit further and know that i am getting something tastier by going elsewhere. at pru thai the service has always been very good...i've gone a couple of times and i've always had the same dude as my waiter and he is knowledgeable and accommodating. i'm a vegetarian and they have a decent selection. the appetizers i'm pretty sure are better than their actual dishes. i have run into problems trying to substitute simple menu items- asking for just fried tofu, rice noodles, and things without fish sauce and yet i was presented with undercooked tofu, oversauced noodled...just not feeling it. read more

Great selection, quality ingredients. Never uses artificial substitutes. I've never had anything bad on the menu and I've tried about everything twice. read more

Due to a lack of options in Clinton NJ, I came here with a date for a late dinner. While the food itself tasted good (read: passable) the rest of the experience was mediocre. From the outside, it's a quaint little place nestled into the landscape. Beautiful plants were growing everywhere, even a patch of corn which didn't seem out of place but decorative. After walking in, we were told to wait while the host (maybe?) cleaned the table. We stood there for at least five awkward minutes while he eventually got supplies to clean an outdoor table. Two different waitresses attended to our table. The second who took our order did so with an armful of another table's dirty plates. I ordered the Pad Preow Wan (sp.) and my date ordered a duck dish. While my plate tasted flavorful, the amount of protein was pitiful. Two small pieces of tofu in a small serving of veggies drenched in sauce. My date had a huge plate that wasn't finished. All in all, not a bad restaurant but far from the best. Middling is the perfect adjective to describe Pru. read more

Not the best Thai I've ever had. The pad Thai had a strange flavor. The appetizers were small. No free refills at $2.50 a pop. I won't be returning. I'll try a new Thai place close by. read more

We live in Essex County and are close to many excellent thai restaurants. We were out in Clinton a couple of weeks ago and decided to try Pru Thai. We weren't sure what to expect - but what we got was absolutely the BEST thai food we've ever had. I wish we lived closer! It was really phenomenal - food was creative, delicious, and fairly priced. Can't wait to return! read more

I love Pru Thai. I've probably had everything on the menu and it is all great. The peanut sauce is fabulous and they make it the hard way using no quick fixes like other thai restaurants using peanut butter. Curries are always good and the stuff that is not on the menu is often my favorite. I tried Savory Thai in Flemington and it was just OK. Peanut sauce definitely was not of the same quality, and the red curry tasted like it had been sitting there for a while. All in all, the owners, staff, and food at Pru is great. I highly recommend it to anybody. read more

Very good thai food. I live here and have had many things on the menu and have never had a bad meal, while there or takeout. It's definitely overpriced, especially if you're used to cheap good thai in the city, but it's out in the country and it's a gem. Crying tiger, pad Thai, pineapple fried rice are all excellent. read more

Business trip nearby, came to have dinner. Food ok but salty. I ordered Tom Yum and Roasted Duck Curry. Both dishes were salty, not spicy. The Roasted Duck was a little dry. They cut the duck and deep fried, not roasted. read more

Food is flavorful however their portions have gotten smaller and more expensive as time has gone on. Order pad Thai which used to fill me up with some to spare but not as of recent. Disappointing because I used to love this place. :( read more

I'm starving right now and thinking about my favorite Thai restaurant outside of Hawaii. Two years ago we went on a recommendation from a friend. Luckily for us, our friend specifically told us not to miss the rocket shrimp appetizer and crying tiger entree. Those two are so delicious that we have not ventured beyond these dishes. I am hoping that Pru Thai is BYOB, since we have a lovely Williamette Valley pinot noir that would pair well with the spicy Thai food. (Note to self: ask when making a reservation). The best dessert there is always the Thai iced tea. I've tried making it at home and it doesn't compare. Can't wait to return! Update: I called and it is BYOB. read more

We went for lunch. And this time the food came out perfect and the thai tea was delish! Wish they could be EN POINTE each time we swing by. Last few times, I almost walked out because the food was slow, tasted like the cook added water and sugar to everything. Even the Thai Tea tasted foul. read more

Beware celiacs and gluten-free seekers. As a restaurant it is pretty good. However, as a gluten-free restaurant (which it does bill itself as in various searches, such as 'find me gluten-free') it fails. We've been there several times. This time around the service was a little slow, but probably acceptable given it was a Saturday night and the tables were all full, but turning over. Specific discussions were had with the knowledgeable waitress who told us emphatically that the only thing on the appetizer menu that was gluten-free was the tofu tod. My wife being gluten-free and an appetizer maniac ordered that and I ordered the golden calamari. So it may have been a blessing in disguise that the golden calamari failed to appear by the time we'd eaten the tofu tod and the main courses arrived. The waitress was apologetic about the mysterious case of the disappearing calamari when she asked how the meals were. Now to the main courses. My wife had pad ginger with chicken and I had pad cashew with seafood. Needless to say, we had a lengthy discussion with the waitress (again, seemingly very knowledgeable and emphatic about what was gluten-free and what was not). When wait-staff seem very didactic, it generally connotes confidence in their recommendation. It took about 15 minutes into my wife's main course to realize that the evil monster gluten had inexplicably crept into her meal. Oh well, so much for the recommendations and supposed clarity. On the plus side, it is a modestly priced restaurant and a BYOB, so you don't have to spend as much as in some other places to get a decent bout of abdominal cramping and bloating. read more

This place sucked ... When we arrived the woman basically threw menus at us and said "go sit outside" ... It's 92 degrees, we didn't want to sit outside. Then it took them 20 minutes to bring a glass of water .... Again we waited about 30 minutes before she came out to take our order. It was endless before we got our food and it was wrong!! So she took it back and we waited endlessly again. The chicken was way over cooked and the pad Thai was just okay. Not sure what everyone sees in this place, but good Thai food they don't have! read more

Had a terrible meal here about a year ago, but decided to try it again. Last year I ordered pad thai that was inedible. Today I ordered Massamun curry that was disgusting. I don't understand how this place is still in business. read more

As a local with too many meh Italian places, Pru Thai has always been one of my favorites. And as of today, April 27, 2017 they have REOPENED for business!! They were only temporarily closed for family reasons I believe. Please uodate your records to show that they are now OPEN once again - and I'm glad they are! read more

The best restaurant in Clinton! We look forward to visiting Pru Thai every time we're in the area. Service is great - attentive and friendly. The food in awesome - delicious and beautifully presented. This is a BYOB restaurant, and as soon as the waiter saw us walk in with 'a bag', he asked if we needed glasses, and promptly went off to retreive them for us. We HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and will always put it on our dining schedule when we visit the Clinton area. read more

I've gotten takeout from here a handful of times when I was looking for a change from the usual takeout options (pizza, chinese, etc.). The food is consistently good and prices are pretty reasonable. Although I've never eaten in the restaurant, the atmosphere inside seems very cozy from when I've gone inside to pick up my order. If you live in the area, it is a worthwhile place to check out. read more

We've been to every Thai place in hunterdon county, this by far is the best. Fast friendly service & the best food, alway fresh..

This restaurant is hopeless! I have ordered takeout there several times and it has been messed up each time--the time I ordered pad thai with shrimp, it was so spicy that I couldn't eat it. Today I ordered shrimp pad basil (supposed to be spicy) and was given pad thai (which I didn't discover until I got it home.) Utterly bland--like shrimp cardboard. To boot, it's not cheap--save your money and go to one of the Thai Kitchen restaurants. This place just can't seem to get it right! read more

Over priced, small portions, food is just okay. Too bad, cause its the only Thai around.

The food and service at Pru Thai is top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant. In an area with many restaurant choices and plenty of competition (Clinton, NJ) Pru Thai is a top choice. Whether you opt for the regular menu, which offers delectable Pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, duck salad, and Massamun curry with pork, among other classics, or one of Chef Korn's inspired specials--Midnight Duck, Duck Noodle, or Moo Panang--you cant go wrong. Save room for dessert; the sticky rice with mango is superb as are the pasteries which are prepared expertly. read more

Ever since we moved to the area 3 years ago, the quality has been getting worse and worse. I was soo excited to have a Thai restaurant less than 10 minutes from my house. Now we drive all the way to Bridgewater instead when we we're in the mood for Thai. I really wish this place would clean up it's appearance (inside dining area) and make the food like they did when we first came here. read more
