I really like this place but today's impromptu visit wasn't good. Okay it was V-day and you should never go out on V-day, but... First I was expecting a lunch menu...there was none. Second, our waiter Tum, seemed quite clueless. When I asked about the peanut curry or the coconut curry, he said well if you like peanuts..but if you like coconuts...really. When I asked if the peanut curry was soupy he said Yes...it was not. He asked my husband how hot he wanted his dish but didn't ask me...and sadly it wasn't. I found the peanut curry so overly sauced with a heavy gloppy toooo peanut sauce. I felt full of lead after only a few bites. I will definitely give Rickys another try. And stay away from that dish. And from Tum. read more

I really enjoyed my trip to Ricky's Thai. Considering the lack of decent Thai food in Princeton, I had to expand my location search to find this place. The interior decor was really classy and intimate enough for a nice date place. The bathrooms are super clean too. We ordered the Pad Kee Mao and the Green Curry in a medium spice. You can choose the level of spice you want - 1 through 5. Both of the dishes were really good. I always appreciate a restaurant that is generous with meats and vegetables, especially with noodle dishes. We also ordered the Curry Puffs. They are similar to Indian Samosas but they're flatter and in a crescent shape. Those were just okay. It's not a dish that can be made fresh, so it's probably reheated. The sweet mango sauce was just okay as well; it tasted like sweet and sour with fruit in it. Wait staff was decent. While I was there, someone had a birthday, and they got cake and they played 'Happy Birthday' over the speakers! read more

They were able to make all dishes we asked for vegan and gluten free (8 in total.) Really nice people. I've only had takeout, but can recommend the Peanut Curry, Pad Thai, Mus-sa-mun Curry, Yellow Curry, Mus-sa-mun all with tofu. I don't typically cook with oil, so the food was a bit greasier than I prefer, but otherwise delicious. read more

Yet another time.... The food was awesome, service was good and the ambience was nice! It's a great place for dinning with friends and family. So many choices for veg food and everything is so nicely made. Always recommend this place. Try these in veg choices... Veg red curry Veg drunken noodles Veg pad Thai Veg pad cashew read more

My experience here is hit or miss. I've done pick up three times now. The person in the front never smiles and is so unenthusiastic. Today I ordered a large Tom yum soup. 12 bucks for a large soup is a little much. The soup was mostly filled with mushrooms and onions, not a lot of soup. The shrimp was looked so unappetizing I decided against eating it. I've ordered the pad Thai and red curry previous times. Both were good but not worth the price I paid. They fill their dishes with veggies which make the prices unfair. read more

Ricky's Thai - Large Tom yum soup - Thai Near Me - Skillman, New Jersey

We had a very pleasant meal outside on the front patio area with three vegetarian dishes: Pad Preow Wan (tofu sautéed in sweet & sour sauce with pineapple, bell peppers, baby corn, celery, cucumbers and tomatoes); Jay Ma Khoa (deep fried eggplant, carrots, onions and red bell peppers and tofu sautéed with basil leaves and spicy chili sauce) and red curry Gang Dang (red curry and coconut milk with bamboo shoots, bell peppers, onions, lime leaves and basil leaves). All three were quite good and the combination was just right. read more

Food - was delicious, flavorful, and plentiful. I had the classic Pad Thai, which was excellent. They had a nice selection of specials as well. Atmosphere - was comfortable and very nicely decorated in a clean, modern style with elements of Thai throughout. Service - was average and got the job done. It is great to see a restaurant like this opening in Montgomery! read more

Ricky's Thai - Lamb special - delicious and plentiful - Thai Near Me - Skillman, New Jersey

As an avid Thai food-lover, I find myself perpetually craving red curry. The introduction of Ricky's to the Montgomery area a few years ago was a welcomed change because there are very few Thai restaurants in the area. Whenever I'm home for an extended amount of time, I'm able to get my Thai food fix at Ricky's while meeting up with hometown friends. Decor is clean and simple yet modern and the menu is quite expansive. Plus, the menu is very vegetarian and vegan friendly! I typically get the Gang Dang red curry with tofu at a spice level of 2 (ranges from 1-5) and have never been disappointed. My only qualm is that the curry to rice ratio is a bit off and I always finish the rice much earlier and am still hungry/have lots of curry left over. Normally I ask for a second serving of rice, which has an upcharge. Other dishes I've tried included the Pad Lard Nar, Pad See Eu, and Pad Kee Mao, all of which I have enjoyed. BYOB. At lunch, you get a complimentary salad and spring roll with your meal. Overall, Ricky's is a staple when I'm back home or in the area! read more

Never Ever go there. This is the WORST PLACE EVER The owner is AWEFUL. We sent the fish back because it was smelly and bad and the owner threatened to call the police on us !!!! Please please don't ever go there. Terrible service Cannot believe he runs a business in the US So disappointed. read more

There are two Ricky's on Route 206 in New Jersey, so you have to be sure you've got the right one when you make a reservation or order out.. I enjoy the food very much. Especially some of the tofu dishes. read more

Poor service, poor food and not an honest business. BEWARE! They gave me the wrong food several times and the last time I finally complained and he was beyond rude and refused to fix his mistake read more

Steamed shrimp dumplings were fresh and perfectly done. Tom Yum soup was bland and tasteless Yellow Chicken Curry was Phenomenal!!!! Chicken Pad Ka Nat was bland Overall I would try again! read more

Consistently fresh tasty dishes that come with a complimentary salad w/a peanut sauce dressing. I love the Mee Siam dish - something that you don't normally see at a thai restaurant. Owner is always on site overlooking everything. The only thing I find is that the spice level is not always what you ask for. They either make it to the level you want or do not add any spice. read more

Food is very good but i have waited over 1 hour several times for my takeout. They are very disorganized in bith their Hillsborough and Skillman stores. You order and the pick up times are always 3 times longer than promised. They have not done a good job with takeout and online orders. Very disappointing read more

Very disappointing.... Ordered spice level 4 received level 1 ....food was very sweet and no flavor..complained to the server the green curry looked white and had no vegetables as per their description and was told if we looked in the candlelight it was green!!! Manager did not bother coming over in spite of noticing we were not happy with the quality of food.... Mediocre food at best ...dont waste your money.. Roots in Princeton is far superior ... read more

Never got to place an order. Ricky, the owner, was so mal tempered in saying we COULD NOT MOVE to one of several empty tables away from a large loud party going on in the middle of the restaurant, that we left right away. I have never felt so unwelcome in a business supposedly built on making guests feel welcomed. And I will never return. read more

Delicious Thai spot - best in the Monty/ Princeton area. I have tried many different dishes and all have been excellent, and they offer really awesome deals when you order online. Their online system is very efficient and has made placing our orders during the pandemic a breeze. The owners are also super nice. Barbecue shrimp, drunken noodles and Thai iced tea are all a must. Do yourself a favor and come here! read more

Best Thai food in the area... lovely, quiet atmosphere and very friendly service! Great lunch specials and you really can't go wrong with anything you order from here! read more

Ricky's Thai is a sort of enigma for me. I've dined plenty of times, and despite having solid fare and a very nice atmosphere, the place is always empty; not usually a good sign. Yet, despite the sparse attendance, I've never had a bad experience and always find myself leaving very happily with my meal. I'm not sure why they are not rated higher. On our most recent visit, we had the Honey Puff, Duck Noodles, and Panang Curry. Everything was delicious, as always. We especially liked the Honey Puff. It's served over a velvety lobster bisque which was really good. Our only disappointment was that there were three pieces; it was so good we wanted more. The curry had the just the right mix of sweet, spicy, creamy, and savory flavors. The duck noodles were solid as well. The service was great and the atmosphere is relaxed with a contemporary vibe. A good experience overall. read more

Simple elegant modern interior still traditional Thai food place. Curries are the best to try. Red curry specially in this cold weather. BYOB which is a plus point. Few miles away from the center of Princeton town but worth it. read more

Disappointing experience. Wanted to give them a second chance after a disappointing experience couple years back. Still as bad. Ordered a takeout and had to throw our food away after a few bites. Pad Thai had tasteless noodles stuck together like gloop and fried rice tasted like smoked cardboard. Will not be going here again. Better to make a trek to Thai Chilli house in Hillsborough. Their food at least has flavor. read more

Elegante restaurant! Food was amazing! Their specials are amazing. Try the pineapple anything!!!

If Ricky is Thai, his mom should be ashamed. Came here once and only once. I eat Thai everywhere, and this ain't Thai. It is also not priced like Thai. Thai food in Thailand is cheap. This place isn't even good and charges more than good Thai restaurants. Entrepreneurs like these that just open shit restaurants to make $$$ really should just go out-of-business. Unfortunately, plenty of tasteless people in America don't know how exotic food should taste. And business owners like this takes advantage of that. Idiot customers + restauranteurs w/ lack of morals = a waste of space in Montgomery. read more

I love Thai food, it is my comfort food so I think I know a little something about Thai food. My order today was chicken fried rice with spicy basil. I was told I would get more chicken than if I were to order spicy basil fried rice (vegetarian) and add $2 worth of chicken. Well what I received (which I thought I would) was a lot of rice, "some" chicken, hardly any spiciness or flavor AND charged a dinner price ($19). I hate when restaurants do that--they skimp on the meat. Why? Anyhow, I have ordered from here twice--different dishes. I reordered because my first meal was good, so to be fair I will order again to provide a two out of three review. Wish me luck! read more

Ricky, the owner is always so kind and attentive. His Pad Thai is by far my favorite and the best I've ever had. The satay is also delicious and the peanut sauce is addictive. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and I recommend it for girls night out or for a date night with your special someone. My office has also had Ricky's cater for us for a work lunch and his food was a hit! The curries travel well and taste great! read more

Unfortunately this was just alright for me but I'm giving it 4 stars because everyone else seems to like it more. My review may be based on my limited experience with Thai food as I'm extremely basic and always just order the pad Thai- it was okay, kind of dry. The table shared chicken satay which was good. My friends had the spicy duck and vegetarian duck (FYI this was a meat alternative we found out mid meal). She said it was good but wasn't overly impressed. read more

Food is good, but not enough to put up with the fact that the owner is incredibly rude. Be careful you don't visit him when he is busy, god help you if you try to interrupt him while he is on the phone...hire a darn person to answer your phone if you can't greet you customers! Because the initial traffic is strong he thinks he can treat customers with disdain. Hope he learns that this tactic will have customers not returning. I will not be. read more

Best Thai food! Always consistently great. Love the dumplings and Duck Noodles.Delivery makes Ricky's Thai a great choice.

If I could give this place no stars I would. Got takeout here a week ago, and guess what the meat wasn't cooked. So i basically removed all the uncooked meat pieces and had a vegetarian dish, because you know, I would like to be healthy than eat raw meat. Since it was my lunchtime, its not like I could return the food or complain about it. I was stuck with it because I have a one hour lunch break. If possible, go to Thai Kitchen. This place looks nice, but if they are too lazy to cook their food properly, then they don't deserve business. Pretty sad esp since there aren't any Thai restaurants in the skillman area. read more

Hands down, the best Thai food I've tried in NJ so far...and I've kissed a lot of Thai restaurant frogs around NJ as I've tried to find this prince. The best part: it's relatively close and conveniently located on 206, across the street from ShopRite and Montgomery Cinemas. Food: Perfect level of heat. Nuanced, authentic flavors and lots of fresh vegetables, even in the lunch specials. I'm partial to their curries, which so far have all been fantastic. Everything tastes delicious! Venue: Surprisingly nice with a cozy feel even though it's in a strip mall. Upscale decor. Great ambiance. It's a popular spot for office and end-of-year holiday lunches. You could also bring a date here. Service: Efficient and pleasant despite having a near full house whenever I've been there. Impressive! Prices: Very reasonable. read more

I have to say this is a very solid Thai restaurant. It's got a wide righty of dishes everything I've had has been very good I recommend it

Pretty solid thai- definitely nice ambiance. The service and food came out VERY fast. Specials are VERY well-priced given portions and the interior. Their spice ratings are spot-on... a 3 is really a 3/5 in spice so that's a good place to begin, I think, especially if your own cuisine is spicy (I'm southeast asian so 3 or 4 was a good place to start). Favorites were drunken noodles, pad thai, and red curry. They also did a mango shrimp dish which was nice, but we couldn't see any mango but we were able to taste it. Their Thai iced teas were also solid. The coconut brule was a nice ending, as was the fried bananas- wish they had fried ice cream!! I would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

I walked in to place my take out order. I ordered three things 1) large coconut rice 2) drunken noodles 3) red curry with chicken. The drunken noodle were great. The large coconut rice was only 3/4 of the order the container was not full. The red curry chicken ended up being red curry tofu. All in all my order was disappointing. read more

Ambiance: Classy decor (more so than most Thai restaurants in this price range), extremely clean bathrooms Service: Others have complained about this, but ours was very fast - we had entrees within 15 minutes of sitting down. We did not encounter the owner (this was dinnertime on a Monday evening) Food: I went with a family group and everyone liked what they got, ranging from pad thai and drunken noodle to beef cooked with fresh ginger and vegetables. Prices are slightly higher than most local Thai spots, perhaps to reflect the fancier decor. I saw several groups BYOB and they didn't seem to charge corkage fees. Overall I would have given 4 stars except for 2 things: 1) When we got the bill, we were charged for 4 Thai iced teas when we had ordered only 3 (and there were very obviously only 3 cups on the table). They corrected this quickly, but it was a sloppy mistake. 2) I found a hair in my entree, and it definitely wasn't mine since it was UNDER some of the noodles. Personally I didn't care, but again, it was something that shouldn't have happened. read more

So being one of the few Thai places in Montgomery, it's not that bad. Their lunch menu is limited, but good, except they don't even had drunken noodles on it (but still offer it, except at dinner price so a bit more $). The interior is great, and the service was fine as well. Their spice level is 1-5... I got a 3, definitely could've done a 4 though (I don't have that high of a spice tolerance). I got their mango chicken, it was good, but nothing that fantastic. Overall its a good place to go in a group for the ambiance. read more

Best Thai Food in NJ Very Friendly Staff extremely customer focused recommend highly Tasty and delicious

Exquisite dining experience. As I often travel for business, I frequently eat Thai food around the country and this establishment is simply a cut above the rest. You can count on Ricky's to be the perfect dining experience from the food to the ambiance. Finally a restaurant that gets the portion size right! Try the Pa-Nang curry with tofu! read more
