Finally checked out this Thai spot. Plan ahead bc orders take a little bit of time to cook, but the wait is well worth it. Owner is super friendly. The portions are solid given most Thai places are known for chinzy portions. Thai Chef doesn't skimp on dish size. We got hot pepper basil, chicken, masaman curry, chicken, kra pow and an order of spring rolls. All three entrées were spot on delicious, having tons of flavor and tender meat.

Thai Chef Jr - Thai Basil Hot Pepper Chicken Chicken Kra Pow Chicken Massaman Curry Two Piece Spring Rolls - Thai Near Me - Dumont, New Jersey

Loved my first experience at Thai Chef Jr! Ordered via Yelp (which I guess has a contract with GrubHub), and the total was $33 and some change. I was confused as I was ordering just one dish, but now that I have the reciept, GrubHub definitely inflates the original prices. I have the OG reciept, and it's $27. Next time, I'm definitely calling them to place an order. For that reason, deduct a star. On to the food: I ordered the Cheesy Crispy Pork Belly Pad Thai, and boy oh boy, those reviews on Instagram and NorthJersey were not lying! I waited about 20-25 minutes for my order, and while waiting, spoke with the Cashier and briefly with the owner. The food was hot n' fresh, and upon tasting: delicious! I could tell they used a torch to melt the cheese on top of the pad thai. The portions are quite geneous for the original $24-27 price-range. The pork belly? Crispy and juicy. No weird smell or anything like that. Pad Thai was served with a lime that cut through the oiliness from the dish. All in all, loved the experience --- can't wait to try more dishes! read more

Thai Chef Jr - 23. Pork Pad Seew - Thai Near Me - Dumont, New Jersey

Since the first visit, I have ordered from here multiple times. In the process got to try some of the other items in the menu like Tom Yum Soup, Beef Pad Kra Pow and Chicken Pad Seew. All these dishes were really good. I continued ordering the pineapple chicken fried rice. Also Massaman curry is sooo good, it's my favorite dish. The sauce tastes so good with rice or tortilla. I ordered over phone every time. They stick to their time estimates and my order was ready for pick up every time. The staff member, especially the owner/chef Atisha, are so friendly. They have added loyalty card and give free lunch after 10 visits. I got the stamps for my 3 visits. Great to see the small take out store serving such good food. read more

Thai Chef Jr. 11 McKinley Ave. Dumont, NJ 07628 Gyoza Beef Pad Thai This locally owned business just opened in October 2025 and they are off to a fantastic start. Gyoza: The pork dumplings are meaty and tender. The dipping sauce enhances the flavor. Beef Pad Thai: This stir-fried noodles combined with a protein and veggies is probably one of the best I ever explored. The sauce is so sweet and savory you will not need to supplement any additional condiments. The inside of the restaurant is small; there is limited seating. I recommend purchasing your order to go. Everything is made to order to ensure that your meal will be served fresh and piping hot. It is also suggested to call ahead to place your order. I am always satisfied each time I purchase take out and I'm definitely planning to return. #thaichefjr #beefpadthai #gyoza #porkdumplings #dumontnj #newbusiness #thaicuisine read more

I was craving some Pad Thai so we decided to try the newly opened Thai Chef Jr for a recent Saturday lunch. I called in an order for Chicken Pad Thai and Ginger Beef and decided to go with a spice level of 0 to see what the flavors were like without any heat, but appreciated being told about the customizable option ranging from level 1 to 5. Pick up would be ready in 25-30 minutes, so the wait was on the longer side but totally worth it for freshly cooked dishes. However, the experience quickly soured upon trying the food. Ginger Beef had ginger flavor but on the saltier side for our taste. Pad Thai was very disappointing not due to the saltiness, although that didn't do it any favors, but these weird burnt flakes that were throughout the noodle dish. I took a photo of the biggest piece I saw -- whether it was burnt food or pieces of the pan that was used, it is definitely a health hazard and not something that should have been served to paying customers. Buyer beware. read more

I absolutely love this hole in the wall Thai takeout restaurant. It's delicious. They really are innovative, but have all the classic dishes. Everything's super fresh for me to order. I love that they use fresh cut noodles and the owners are really nice. It's more of a takeout place in a dine in place but still really really good. read more

Ordered the Green Curry Chicken. It was delicious. Cashier was friendly. Would go again to try the other curries. Call ahead - it took 25 minutes to prepare my order Edit: Pad See Ew was a bit on the salty side. read more

Food is delicious! Service is great, wish they had a dine in option. Found a new favorite Thai place in the area.

Absolutely delicious new Thai takeout place in Dumont. We tried their Thai Chef Dumplings, which are a must try. So much more flavor than any other Thai dumpling that I have tried. Also went for their Crispy Pork Belly over rice, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The sauce on the side is great for either dipping or pouring over the pork and rice. The Roast Pork over rice was nice and moist with yummy sauce over the rice as well. I can't wait to go back and their their noodle and curry dishes. They were so nice, friendly, and took their time with us. read more

Food was amazing but the people were even better. Customer service was excellent. I'm coming back for sure! read more

This place is honestly a hidden gem. From the outside, you wouldn't expect much, but once you try it, you realize how good it really is. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered hit the mark, and the quality easily rivals more well-known spots. Definitely will be our go to thai food restaurant for us. read more

Good effort, but flavor was not on the mark. 6.75/10. I want to love this place so badly. The owner is super friendly and is clearly passionate. The food is fresh and smells great. But the curries are way too sweet, oppressively so. Idk if it's the meta in Asian cuisine to make everything sweeter, but I do not like it and do not care for it. The only reason I rate this place so well despite my dislike of it, is I recognize the food was cooked really well, with lots of care, and with fresh ingredients. But the flavor profile was just too much off my strike zone. That and they charged $8 for the smallest little sleeve of fish cakes I've ever seen. But that's a minor detail. I can see why this place has so many 5 star reviews tho. If you like sweet Thai food, I'm sure this place hits, really well. read more

Friendly hostess. Solid quality Thai food. First time there today. This is a takeout places, no tables or seats. Tried chicken green curry level 2 spice - perfect spice level just enough to taste throughout the meal without sweating. Beef pad see ew, a touch sweet for my tastes, but very very good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Finally found a Thai spot that doesn't hold back on flavor! The balance of sweet, salty, sour and heat in the Massaman Curry was perfect! We loved how it had sweet potato in the curry to add just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the spice. The Ribeye Pad See Ew had that perfect 'wok hei' (charred) flavor, and the Beef Pad Kra Pao was a standout, topped with a perfectly fried egg with crispy edges and a runny yolk! The dumplings & gyoza were both fresh and don't have that "got lost in the back of the freezer" taste. You can tell these dishes haven't been rushed or modified, they taste like they've been handed down through a lineage of incredible cooks. It feels like you're being invited into a family kitchen to taste a recipe that has been polished to perfection over the years! We'll definitely be back! read more

A Fantastic First Experience with Thai Food! I stopped into Thai Chef Jr in Dumont during their grand opening, and this was my very first time trying Thai food. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the experience completely blew me away. The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every bite had the perfect balance of spices and ingredients without being overwhelming. The staff was warm, attentive, and happy to guide someone new to Thai cuisine. You could feel the excitement of the grand opening, and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. It made the whole visit even more enjoyable. I'm so glad my introduction to Thai food was here. This restaurant made a great first impression, and I'm already looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. Dumont is lucky to have a spot like this! Highly recommend to anyone whether you're new to Thai food or already love it! read more

I was so excited when I heard a Thai restaurant was FINALLY opening up not only nearby but right in town! I ordered the golden shrimp rolls, Thai chef pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. The rolls were SO crispy and light, great flavor! You can tell their frying oil is fresh. Pad Thai was delicious as well, perfect balance of sweet, salty and tangy with delicious chewy noodles. The Thai chef variety had beef chicken and shrimp, and they did not skimp on the meat. Almost too much meat! Good portion size. The mango sticky rice had good texture, I liked the sweet/salty contrast of the mango and the sauce but I wish the sauce was a tiny bit sweeter. The presentation was beautiful, a mound of the sticky rice topped with a neatly sliced mango and a touch of edible gold leaf! So fancy! also liked the packaging of the food, round cardboard bowls instead of the plastic tupperware containers. Overall great experience and looking forward to trying more dishes read more

Very good! We had shrimp pad Thai & chicken drunken noodles and both were so good! I highly recommend

Ordered pretty late because online said they're open till 11 but actually was open till 10, and still insisted we ordered. Staff is super sweet and chatted with them for a bit while I picked up everything. Food was fantastic and hit the spot, and the price for the bao buns, a pad Thai plus a pad kee mao was less than $40!! Super delicious and love that it's local! Will be back for sure! read more
