Beautiful interior at Thai Kitchen. We have only done takeout twice from here. The first time we thought it was great, the second time the noodles were dry and not in line with our first experience. The portions of the meals are not bad for the price. The curry puffs are delicious, but you only get 3 for $10, which is a little steep for a shared app. Would give an extra star if it came with 4 puffs! Will be back hoping for better quality again, mostly because we love Thai food and this is the only place around! Outdoor dining is a plus so we will probably try that on a nice night. read more

In light of the Covid-19 issue understand the caution. However, the "gentleman's reaction to me stepping into the partial foire w/o a mask merely to pickup was laughable...for numerous reasons, including but not limited to the fact that one of his employees was not wearing a mask. Lecturing me me like a child. NEVER again will I go there. And very scarce on the meat/poultry and superfluous on the vegetables obviously for economical concerns read more

really nice place, kinda hidden so not that crowded. not completely a fan of thai food but i came for a birthday and was still able to enjoy the food so 8/10. service was also really good and like i said before the place itself was pretty nice. read more

Good food, been here a few times and food and good service has been consistent. Pad Thai is one of our favorites to order.

Take-out review: Ordered steamed dumplings, summer rolls, Larb salad with chicken and the pra raam with chicken. I've eaten here before and have had their take-out in the past. Everything was very good as it normally is with the exception of the pra raam. The pra raam is supposed to have spicy peanut curry sauce. I've had this dish before. This time ZERO spice. Nothing! I'll return to Thai Kitchen, but now I need to remember to ask for spicy on items that already clearly show as spicy on the menu. And yes I know that you can order different levels of spicy, but I'm telling you, this time ZERO spice. read more

We have been eating here for years and the food is always good an the service is a delight. I particularly like the fuck noodles.

I've visited Thai Kitchen a handful of times now and have had very good experiences during each. I initially searched Yelp for alternatives to delis and pizza shops in the area and found these guys. The location is in the corner lot of a shopping center, so you can't see it from the road. As such, I never would have found this place if I wasn't looking for it, but I'm glad I did. Once inside, I was astonished to find a very ornately decorated restaurant with all types of Eastern flair. It's a pretty big space with plenty of seating, even for large parties. I have gone with several colleagues each time and we haven't had a problem with seating, although it's a popular place. The proprietors and servers are all very friendly and helpful, which is also a plus. I know that authenticity can be a sticking point for some diners, and I respect that. I am not from Asia and sadly have never visited, so it is not such a big deal to me if this place is genuine or not. Having said that, I think I have a pretty well-informed palate and I can differentiate between the good and the bad. This place is good; relatively speaking, probably even very good. Do they serve authentic Thai food? Can't really say. The menu seems pretty legit to me and most if not all of the usual suspects are available. I've tried a lot of different things and have been pleased with everything. Their noodle dishes are particularly good, and they have a number of rotating specials that are always worth a look (the crispy duck buns app comes to mind). Lastly, they have this cute and novel (at least to me) spice indicator scale. Next to the spicy items, you will see an elephant on the menu. The intensity ranges from 1-5 elephants, and I've made it to 4 so far. QC is somewhat variable (I think the phrase is "mileage may vary?"), but in general, when they say spicy, they mean it. I like that. Prices are fair, with most lunch dishes ranging from $8-$10, and the portions are ample. If you're familiar with the myriad by-the-numbers Thai places in NYC, these guys could easily run neck and neck with them and actually be a standout. I'm happy to have found Thai Kitchen and plan to return. I think there are a few locations in this part of NJ, under the same ownership, so definitely check them out if you're near one. read more

Solid Thai food in the middle of NJ. In all honesty, I was expecting 'thai food for white people' given that it was in the middle of suburbia, but the food was high quality, full of flavor, very traditional. Even more impressive, the level of heat in 'medium' (aka 2 elephants) had a nice punch (and I like spicy food). As Mina said, a hidden gem; definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Note, both Yelp maps and Google maps have it in the wrong location. It's in the shopping center across Route 206 from the Shop Rite, South of Old Route 24. read more

So Yum! BYOB too.... A hidden gem in the Streets of Chester shopping plaza. Definitely a staple restaurant we love to visit. Chester really needed a good restaurant...and Thai Kitchen makes it! My husband and I love the Som Tum Salad, Pad Kee Mow aka Drunken Noodles and the Green Chicken Curry. So yum!!! read more

Had a very nice meal with another couple. I had the Pad Cashew with shrimp; generous shrimp portions, perfectly spiced. My wife enjoyed the duck special, [ I grabbed a piece of duck and it was tender and flavorful]. Our dessert of Sticky rice and Mango was a perfect ending. Very pleasant service. Coming back soon. read more

Stopped by for lunch with a group of 13 after apple picking in the area and it was a great dining experience overall! They have a nice space in the back to accommodate large parties and the place in itself was quite decorative. The food and service were both good ... no complaints! We ordered the curry puffs, spring rolls, and chicken/beef skewers and all were delicious. For mains, I had the chicken green curry (spice level adjusted to a 3 / 5) and it was just right! I left feeling stuffed and satisfied as did everyone else in my party. NOTE: this restaurant is located inside the complex of an outdoor shopping mall so it might be difficult to find if you input the address into your GPS. A few of us got lost while driving here ... so be on the lookout for the shopping area where Banana Republic is and go in there. The restaurant is located next to GAP. Enjoy! read more

Some of the best Thai food around. Great service, very friendly. The duck salad is particularly good. Also, has a very nice outside seating area. read more

My family loves Asian food, Thai in particular. I wouldn't say we were experts, but we've been to upwards of 10-12 Thai restaurants across the country. This place is my least favorite. Although the service was good, the food was bordering on bad. The chicken was musty, almost skunky. Vegetables and herbs were not nearly as fresh as I would have liked. Despite asking for it hot (7 on a scale of 10), it was more like a 2. BYOW was nice, and prices of the food was reasonable (if it were better tasting). Decor was very cool, and parking isn't a problem as it's part of a shopping plaza. We will not be going back here. I would recommend Thai Nam Phet in Rockaway, NJ (better) or Saen Thai in Shawnee, PA (best!). read more

We have been going back here almost weekly. The food is amazing the service is phenomenal The restaurant Decour is beautiful. Recently we brought friends here. They thought it was one of the best Thai restaurants they've been to. As an appetizer the duck buns are the best. read more

It's hard to go wrong with Thai, but there are a few choice items on the menu I'd recommend: Appetizers Satay: Juicy, melt in your mouth chicken glazed in a sweet sauce, a real crowd pleaser Salad Yum Ped Yang: YUM is right. This duck salad has a medley of satisfying, refreshing flavors. I love the celery, ginger and pineapple together. Entree Duck Noodle: If you're looking for something not too salty, the duck noodle is your dish. This is always the first plate to disappear. read more

Food is really Americanized but has good selection. Ambiance and sitting area is really really nice. Very quiet and smooth environment. Great service. But wish they were more Thai like few other restaurants in the area. But overall a good place to take guests. read more

Checked out this place based on all the great Yelp reviews! Ordered take out the first time and it was delicious. Decided to go back this weekend to dine in. The atmosphere is great! Decorated really beautifully. Definitely a great date spot. Everyone in our group of 3 loved their meal. We started with chicken satay and the honey puffs as appetizers. Entrees were Pad See Ew (chicken), Bangkok Shrimp, and Mango Chicken. Everything was served hot, fresh, and was very delicious!!! We will definitely be back! read more

After cold, dreary day at the Bronx Zoo, highlights here were duck bun, Tom Kra coconut soup and Gang Dang curry. Service was helpful and efficient without being overwhelming. Decor is warm, elegant, tasteful. Great rec from a Chester resident. read more

What I had tonight was excellent. Crispy duck salad was good. The beef in coconut milk and curry was just incredible. It was three nice pieces of beef that was slow cooked in a wonderful sauce, served with fingerling potatoes and carrots. I only wish they had put a little more of the delicious sauce on my plate. This was my first time here, so I need to try more of their dishes before I give a 4 or 5 rating. I really like the style of French Thai food. I am glad they have not gone the route of "Asian fusion", that is like "Italian American" which to me means stay away. The decor is very pleasing and the room is comfy and not loud. The serving staff was excellent. Everyone of them were caring and willing to help me make my selections and get feedback. Nice to know i do not need to go to Morristown to get Thai. read more

Went here for a lunch meeting and was surprised by the location! It's in a nice little shopping area in Chester tucked away in the corner. The pad Thai was pretty good but I can honestly say I've had better but I'd like to try it again and see how that goes. The service was very good and the soups/appetizers were all good. It's close by (~15 mins) Alsteade Farms if you're heading there, going for a hike at Hacklebarney State Park, or just going shopping at the Chester shoppes there. read more

I am shocked to see some subpar reviews of this place, but I guess opinions vary. Admittedly I have not tried many Thai places in N.J. but have tried a few that were strongly reviewed on YELP....this is hands down the best one that I have gone to. The ambiance is quaint, the staff has always been friendly, food comes out quickly and it is always delicious. Just as a point of reference I drive 65 miles to get up here from south jersey, which is a testament to how good I find the meal. (And yes I happily spend 2 hrs round trip in the car to come up here for a 45 min. dinner.....I think the food is that good) read more

The food here is excellent, the decor is lovely and the prices are reasonable. We had the Tom Kra Gai soup, the calamari, and a daily special of honey puffs for appetizers. The Tom Kra Gai was one of the best I've had, with velvety chicken, lots of vegetables and nice lemongrass flavor. The calamari was cooked perfectly and had two sauces for dipping. The puffs were interesting and tasty. For entrées, my favorite was the Gang Dang (red) curry, with tofu. They don't list tofu as an option for the curries on the menu but we're happy to accomodate my request. The Pad Thai and Pad Cashew were also excellent, as was the Mee Siam. My son had a daily special lamb dish which didn't last long enough for anyone else to taste, so it must have been good. The food is rich, and the portions are generous. You will not leave hungry. read more

Thai Kitchen - The front door. - Thai Near Me - Chester, New Jersey

I'm here almost every week, sometimes multiple times a week. Love it! :) Had one bad experience but that's in the past. This is probably my favorite restaurant ever. read more

This is our go to place for Thai food and has been for months. By far the best around. Very highly recommend.

One of the best Thai places I ever ate. Atmosphere perfect. Service outstanding and friendly. Food was perfect with right amount of heat.

Excellent Thai food ...reasonably priced. Excellent service. Very popular with locals.

Great Thai in an unexpected location. The restaurant itself is well furnished and classy... sort of Thai exotica theme. The menu had the traditional Thai dishes like curries and noodles supplemented by interesting specials. I had the Roti Canai appetizer, and it was the best I'd had since I visited Malaysia. Pad kee mao was great as well, and Mrs. Publius had a spicy green curry. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I was here with a group of 4 the other night and it was fantastic. I don't get Thai food often but I'm definitely a fan of this restaurant! The Satay beef I ordered as an appetizer was AMAZING and my Mee Siam entree was also VERY good. My only complaint about my entree would be that the amount of chicken was on the low side. Other than that the flavors were spot on. The service was friendly and the dining room was very clean and decorated to make diners feel warm and relaxed. I loved the ceiling and the wall hangings, the decorator gets 5 stars in my book. I will definitely be back :) read more

We went on a dinner date here in December.... It was extremely cold outside but the atmosphere inside quickly made me forget the fridged temps outside. It is a cozy environment. This was our first experience with thai food and we so want more now. definate return in the near future read more

The food is delicious and we had a great dining experience. The Thai curry puffs are amazing. Main course we both satisfying and delicious. Will definitely be going back. Afternoon hours on the weekend would be helpful and then I would have given 5 stars. read more

The food was really good but one thing that upsets me is that they mixed up my order. We ordered 5 dishes with different meat selections but they came out all chicken. read more

This restaurant is the quintessence of all Thai restaurants. They prepare many Asian delicacies, but if you want a table you will probably need a reservation. Thai Kitchen is BYOB, because they only serve two types of sodas. The two sodas are Coke and Sprite. The decor placed inside the restaurant adds a nice ambience to the room. Besides that their food is excellent. They added the perfect amount of spice on the Ren Deng Lamb. I would also recommend the Pad Lad Nar. The Pad Lad Nar is a simple Thai dish that consists of noodles, (beef, chicken, or shrimp.), Asian Broccoli, and soy sauce. The portions are big, but that means you can take it to go, and eat it at home. Their menu is also very diverse. They have many different kinds of soups, noodles, and rice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people who like authentic Thai Cuisine. read more

See all

Delicious food!!! I ordered Pad Kee Maow and it was perfectly cooked and tasty. Ambience is great and I totally recommend this place for good Thai food. read more

Some of the best Thai food around. They are quick and the prices are great! Whenever I call for lunch the order is ready in 10 minutes. I've tried a lot of different thai places and none compare to Thai kitchen. read more

My go-to for Thai food! Dishes are always prepared fresh, flavorful, and hot! Prices are very reasonable. Will continue coming here!

Excellent restaurant in Chester. I visit the area a couple of times a year and this is the best restaurant in the Mendham area. Good spice( i like 3 or more elephants), very reasonable, and good prices. Love the BYOB out here. Recommend the Pad Prik Khing and Pad Thai. Nice seating outside and good service. All round good choice read more

My absolute favorite local restaurant. Pad See Ew is amazing. Pineapple Rice, spring rolls, etc...all awesome!

Best Chicken Pad Thai EVER. Simple dish, perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Fair prices, nice atmosphere....very good for local Thai food. read more
