    65. Vegetables Kee Mao Drunken Noodle
    Daniel T.

    TLDR: standard Thai food - one of the few in the area Ordered the drunken noodles without mushrooms at a mild level of spice. The dish came piping hot in a generous portion, and had a good balance between noodles and vegetables / protein. Every ingredient was well seasoned but slightly oily though that's to be expected in a stir fried dish. Overall the dish was pretty good but nothing too special. I would order it again. About the restaurant: the place is nicely decorated. I went on a Saturday around standard lunch time, but the place was relatively empty, which was surprising for the level of food. A great spot if you enjoy a quiet meal

    58. Pad Thai
    Elisa R.

    Ricky's Thai has great prices for tasty, large portions. Nice ambiance and accommodating, polite service. The starter salad was free and was a little pile of iceberg lettuce with peanut sauce. It's pretty skimpy but it's free so can't really complain, and the peanut sauce is some of the best I've ever had. I shared the pad thai with my sister. I've tried a lot of pad thai and this one is pretty solid, tasting fresh with good flavor and not oily/soggy like some restaurants serve it. I'm removing a star because there was a $3 charge for an extra plate for the pad thai-- the food wasn't split up or anything, it just came as usual on one plate but there was an extra charge to share it? I would understand if they divided up the portion with additional toppings, but they basically just charged us to use an extra plate which I think is pretty lame and cash grabby.

    Quick quaint place to stop by for some Thai food in Skillman. We stopped in on a Friday night and were promptly seated without a reservation. I had the chicken pad thai which was average. I thought it could have used a bit more sauce/flavor and the 3 star spicy was not spicy. My friend had the Thai Basil noodles and thought it was just ok as well.

    Ricky's does it right! His Skillman, NJ, Thai restaurant is the second of two kitchens in his growing stable of excellent Southeast Asian houses. It is a beautiful dining room with hushed dark wood tones, Buddhas looking serenely down from the walls and box framed lighting hanging from the high ceiling. White linen and heavy silverplate flatware on the tables finishes the impression that something special can happen here. I was there for lunch on Saturday afternoon, but was advised upon arrival that the lunch menu was not being offered on weekends anymore. Too bad, but not a cause for major disappointment. Just adjust my ordering to keep the overall bill where I wanted it to be. I have been on a spicy noodle rage lately, and the Pad Kee Mao was calling my name. Skipped the soup and appetizer I would have requested otherwise, and simply added Jasmine Tea as an accompaniment. Spice level: a midrange 3 was good enough for me this day. My plate arrived a few minutes after on a white square ceramic. It looked fantastic, with shiny broad noodles, thin sliced chicken, a handful of medium shrimp, plenty of green pepper, diaphenous sweet onion and fresh mushroom. The hot chili paste was visible throughout, and soon proved to be all the heat required. It was delicious, with nicely chewy pasta and plenty of texture and zest from the peppers, chicken and shrimp with the shrooms absorbing the sauce. The capsesin quotient was on target. This dish was certainly in the running for best of breed among the dozen or so Drunken Noodle candidates sampled in the last several months. Lucky for me there is another Ricky's Thai nearby in Hillsborough that deserves a stop on the hot & spicy broad noodle tour.

    New to Princeton & this is one of the best Thai food places I've been to. You get a good amount of food for the price and everything was so delicious. I would highly recommend coming here!

    Pad kee mao is very bland...they forgot to add salt or something. Yet it's very pricy

Tofu satay has great flavor and texture (crispy fried giant tofu + crunchy crushed peanuts + bean sprouts). Puff pastry has crabmeat inside and is served with a lobster curry We also got Penang curry with squid, the squid was tender and delicious. Loved the new try, Pad Preaw Wan chicken. It's sautéed with pineapples, mushrooms, napa...all the goodies in sweat and sour sauce! I will order this for my husband next time; he'd love it! They have 2 dining areas, the front is usually for bigger parties and the back is cozy and warm, smart design. Their service is always friendly and attentive even when they're busy. Love them!

Menu was limited for events which is fine, our party leader pre-ordered for all tables. I don't eat sushi / shellfish so unfortunately I can't comment on that part of the meal. We had chicken lettuce wraps, spring rolls & calamari for apps (sorry forgot to take pix). For hot items we had shrimp fried rice, Thai basil shrimp, sesame chicken & pepper beef (allegedly made with filet mignon). Main comments are on the chicken & beef. Sesame chicken was hit or miss with tender or very chewy. Same for lettuce wraps. Beef was cooked well done (which is a shame if it was filet) & also had chewy pieces. Flavor was good however. Sushi eaters seemed to enjoy that but both shrimp dishes weren't finished. Other main comment is we had booths on one side, wooden chairs on the other at our tables. I sat in a chair which became very uncomfortable after a short time. Bummer as the place itself is modern & inviting. Finally, service for our party was good, didn't see any issues.

The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying.

Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared.

The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.
