First time here but just loved the food. I came here with my coworkers for lunch. Their service is quick, so we were in and out during lunch time. Loved it! read more

Excellent staff who are courteous warm and inviting; food is exceptional. Can't go wrong with this place. We eat in and take out frequently and this place is great. Quite the contrast to the rude staff owner (Ann) at the front desk at the Thai kitchen II near the Somerville circle( near tgif). Avoid the circle location. read more

Absolute dissapointment. Came here because it is a chain restaurant, having a place in Chester that is beyond fantastic. Knowing that the Thai Kitchen has multiple locations throughout New Jersey, you would think that they are very similar and just as great. However, I was beyond dissapointed with not only the food, but the incredibly mind-bogglingly, horrible customer service. These people put shame to the word "server". We asked the waitors 3 different times about some food items, whether it concern the way in which certain food is prepared, or a type of sauce, or if the food is prepared fresh in the restaurant as opposed to ordering it from an outside source. These waitors had absolutely NO knowledge of any of these answers. They simply smiled and covered up the answer with additional information about the meal that we did not ask about, or in one case, stated "I don't know how the chef prepares the food." That's interesting, because if you are working in a high class food business, walking in and out of the kitchen and serving customers, you are REPRESENTING this restaurant and should know what exactly it is that we are about to eat. When we first walked in the restaurant there was one other party sitting, and they proceeded to seat us all the way in the back by the bathroom and the overly large fish tank. Nice. When the food was served (for both appetizers and dinner) the servers stood 2 feet away from our table, socializing and looking at us while we ate, as if there were thirty thousand people waiting to be seated and they just had to pick up our plates as soon as possible. That, or they just really like watching us and talking about us in another language. I was extremely uncomfortable by this and felt as though I couldn't eat in peace and have a conversation with my family because there were people standing right next to us, watching. Staring. And how about the food? Well, the appetizers were good. Maybe the only good thing about the place. And, ah, for the dinner. I ordered the Tamarind Duck. It smelled like literal feces. A bathroom. A load of horse crap. You name it. It was horrible. And I couldn't get myself to even breath around it. Here's why I'm being so hard on this place-- it's a chain, so I do expect all of them to be just as great. If you're looking for some great Thai food with excellent customer service in an incredible environment, go to the one in Chester. Everything in there is clean and polished and beautiful, not like this dirty, beat up place in Bridgewater. read more

Got food poisoning from my favorite dish. I don't care because their food is just that good.

Disappointed! I ordered take out SP 4. Prik khing. The food portion is so small. The chicken and shrimp tasted good not great. Chicken skewers were a little charred and tasted so so. Small portion and pricey. Very spicy, more curry than food. read more

The food here was okay. Thai is one of my favorite foods so I can be particular about it. I've been to a ton of Thai restaurants and this one really was not a favorite. Came here on a Sunday night and it was quite busy. I thought the food was okay, a little on the sweet side even with their spicy dishes (marked by the elephants). I ordered a dish that I thought came with a meat option, but the waitress said the meat was extra. I said I wanted tofu, but when the dish came out--- she omitted the tofu completely. During our meal, the staff also came by on at least three separate occasions to ask us if we were done with our soup or entree even though we were still eating. It wasn't close to closing time and the restaurant still had other people there so I wasn't sure if they were running low on clean dishes or trying to rush us out. The waitress also forgot about the cold drinks we ordered as well. Overall, I probably won't return. The food really wasn't good enough and the service was a bit odd. read more

Food is great. Plenty of vegetarian options with lots of veggies and tofu. They will substitute fish/oyster sauce with mushroom or veg sauce if you tell them before hand. It does tend to get super crowded so I would avoid peak times for lunch or dinner unless you're willing to wait 30-45minutes. Reason for taking 1 star off is because the tables are very close to each other so you don't really have privacy and can hear everyone's conversation. This is definitely my go-to Thai spot and its BYOB. Another plus! read more

I would like to clone this restaurant and put it all over the country so that I would never be far away from a variety of consistently delicious, inexpensive Thai food. read more

Amazing!!! Have been here too many times to count for for both dine in and take out and the service and food are both great.

If you're looking for great Thai food then this is a great small restaurant to satisfy your cravings. They have an excellent menu with fast and prompt service. I love their Thai iced tea followed by their Tom Yum soup, yum! The food is always consistent and never disappoints. Great place. read more

Best Thai food I have ever had. I highly recommend the Thai Egg Rolls and the Tom Kha Gai soup. DELICIOUS!

Always a good meal. One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. It is much better than Thai Kitchen 2.

Love this place! Very reasonably priced (dinner entrees for $10!), great service, and everything I've ever gotten is DELICIOUS.

Love this place! The best chicken pad Thai in North Jersey! And the Thai rolls are just heaven in your mouth!!!

this place is awesome. Coworkers and I come here on a regular basis and never have been disappointed. Place is small and jam packed so reservations are a must. read more

Great food, excellent service and an intimate ambiance! :) Have tried almost all vegetarian foods on the menu and none have been disappointing so far! read more

Hands down, our favorite Thai food in the area. When my husband worked nearby, they ate here weekly. Lunch specials are incredible. Also, ordering dinner family style or to go is always enjoyable. read more

Thai Kitchen is our favorite lunch spot! My boss and I get take out from here at least once a week. The food is consistently awesome. The staff is friendly and knows me by name and what our favorites are: Pad See Eue with Chicken and Pineapple Chicken with Thai egg rolls. read more

This place really knows their clientele. You can easily get in and out for lunch in about 20-30 minutes. One of my favorite places for thai food in the area. The food is fresh, hot and comes out fast. read more

The food was really good. The spice level were apt to the numbers set. Not very pricey. The service was quite professional. I loved this place and will definitely go there again. read more

One of the best spots for real Pad Thai at a great price. This is one of the original Thai Kitchens in the area. Hidden in a shopping plaza in Bridgewater, this place is always bustling with activity. It is ALWAYS packed at LUNCH and DINNER. The place is small to begin with and the lines build up quickly around the outside. Although there are three sister restaurants, this place has a consistent following. You can see the same people with the ID badges from the local companies like me line up. Because it was so busy, I don't go there as often anymore. In the past, you would have to be there before 11:45 to get a table right away. At 12pm at any weekday, you are bound to be waiting 15-40 minutes. The service is quick, maybe too quick. They customize your pad thai fast and get it out. However, this lunch spot is not good for doing business or for a long conversation. As soon as the waiter/waitress see your plate empty they swoop down like hawks and deliver your bill to prompt you to pay quick. Also being smushed into your table, you are shoulder to shoulder with your neighbor table and/or have people waiting on line breathing on top of you. If the place was more empty, you could enjoy the ambiance and experience. Food is awesome but the experience makes you feel rushed and cheated from enjoying one of the best pad thai offerings. read more

I have lived in PA, NJ and NY. After eating the food at Thai kitchen, I have yet to find any place in any of these states as good. The food is fast and delicious and prepared perfectly. I now live in Westchester county, NY and stop by Thai Kitchen whenever I am in the area. Dear owners, please open one in Westchester county, NY!!! I miss your food. read more

Great restaurant! We can always count on a good meal, served hot. Wait staff keeps water glasses filled and the meals moving. Management is ever-present and welcoming. read more

Authentic (based on experience for living in Thailand for 3 months). Good price. I love their green curry better than up-scaled Thai restaurants in NYC. read more

I don't understand the rave review for this restaurant. I love Thai food, but this one is just okay. Many dishes are too sweet for my taste. Service is good, they keep filling your water glass, even though it's not even half empty. But the thing that kinda turn me off is this, they are now charging 20% tips for a table of 5 or above. Now, I don't mind paying 20% tips for good service, but I do mind when they just add it to your bill, even for a table of 5. read more

Gold standard for Thai food in NJ. Can't go wrong with whatever you choose to order from this place. Excellent service and excellent food. Been here literally 100's of times over the years, and I never get tired of it. For all the non-Thai food experts, don't bother exploring various Thai food restaurants without making it a priority to check this place out. read more

I live in Bridgewater and eat here quite often both for business lunches and for dinner with my wife. The service and food are better than any other Thai restaurant in this part of the state including their other sister restaurants. Lunch is very reasonably priced with dinner being a bit more on the pricey side. Hands down this is my #1 go-to for Thai. Doesn't get any better. read more

Thanks, yelpers. We were at bridgewater commons as a family, so I used the app to find a place for dinner. We stopped in on a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. People were waiting for tables shoulder to shoulder. Not a problem! We were quickly seated, received great service and terrific food. High quality Thai! Beautifully presented. This was the best Thai meal we've had nice moving to the east coast. Bridgewater, you are so fortunate to have Thai kitchen in your neighborhood! read more

Solid and consistent food. Not very spicy - even at five "elephant' level. The green curry and Pad Kee Mao are among our favorites. The pork fried dumplings (not on the menu) are outstanding, but pretty expensive. read more

Food was OK. Prices seemed high. Service was a bit much with our waitress standing 4 feet from our table staring at us for most of our meal. We appreciate good service but found this too much and created an uncomfortable feeling for us. We usually go to House of Thai in Greenbrook and will continue to make them our 5 star choice. read more

4.5 stars -- I have been going to this place for years, and I usually have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. I would most certainly give it a 5 star rating except in the last couple of visits I feel as if the quality of food has changed. To me, it feels as if they might have gotten new staff in the kitchen, but who knows. Don't get me wrong though, the food is still awesome, I'm just used to it being overly awesome at this place. The place is clean and pretty, and the wait staff are genuinely nice. After you visit a couple of times, it's like seeing old friends! The owners are a very very nice couple and I enjoy the welcoming atmosphere that the staff and they create. Every single person that I have brought here has given it positive reviews, and the service is quick, timely and consistent. The place is a bit small so definitely make a reservation, and it is a MUST if you are coming with a bigger group. Oh! get the fried ice cream, fried calamari appetizer and any of the noodle dishes! I've heard that the curry dishes are quite good so I'm going to check them out on my next visit. Not to mention, the prices are definitely decent for the food and ambiance. Affordable and reasonable! Love this place! If you love thai, go visit! read more

Love the food here!!! The spice level is perfect for my taste buds!!!

13 year 'veteran' of Thai Kitchen I and though I'm chagrined to see how large the crowds have become, I remain loyal to my first Thai restaurant. Of the 15 or so Thai restaurants I've tried in a handful of states, TK1 ranks as my #2. To compare apples to apples you have to try their pad thai, and theirs is excellent. Usually a 2-part meal, if you don't mind doggie bags. Fried rices are sound. Tom Kha Gai is delicious and has better flavor than any other I've tried. Mee Siam is an excellent choice if you like a mixture of different meats. On the downside, it's very cramped in the restaurant-- some tables seem to be only a foot away from others. AWESOME, smiling service. Come here a few times and chances are, the hostess will know your name. Prices for non-Chef Specialities are very reasonable. read more

Tried Green Curry with Shrimp - it was just spicy enough for me. As always, really good place. Packed on weekends and on Friday evenings, so plan accordingly. Hot and Sour soup (with lemongrass) is fantastic! read more

Can't recommend to anyone. Over priced food and water down veg. curry. There are better place around to eat thai food. High demand of tips also. read more
