RUN DON'T WALK TO THIS SPOT, I'M SO SERIOUS…read more This is the best, most authentic Thai food I've eaten since my vacation to Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui) with my husband in 2024. I truly can't even name a favorite off the menu because everything I've tried here is elite lol Pad Thai, Massamon curry, pineapple fried rice, tom yum soup. Omg literally just get ANYTHING on the menu and it's gonna be a BANGER. Fast, efficient, and kind staff too. HIGHLY recommend!

I'm being generous with a 3 star rating for this place because some of the food is OK…read more I'll start with good - tom yum soup was decent, egg rolls were pretty good, red curry was OK, oad thai was OK. Not so good - curry puffs were tasteless, fried calamari were meh. Not good - duck salad had dry overcooked duck, green curry with beef was barely edible and had a funky sidekick flavor reminiscent of stale bucket water after the floors were mopped with beef that they threw in there, which was dry and super chewy. Water they serve is straight out of tap and I doubt it's even filtered as it had smell and taste that didn't have any hint of filtration. And a 20% automatic gratuity added to your bill for a group of 5 plus. Had to ask 1 waiter for a check 3 times. Got it finally after asking another waiter. First and last time for me in this establishment. Those posting 5 star reviews probably never had good Thai food. This place doesn't hold a candle to restaurants like Pimaan Thai or Wyckoff Thai. Lots of room here for improvement.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Food was super fresh and delicious! ++++ Roti - Was OK. A bit on the small side, but it was only $5, so you figure that would be the case that it was a small serving. The curry was a bit watery though. ++++ Tropical Mango with White Rice - Solid. Lots of mango slices and 6 pieces of large shrimp. Also, lots of tropical, sweet sauce, which made it delicious. ++++ Pad See Ew with Beef - Fantastic! Came out piping hot and fresh with plenty of beef and veggies. Portion was pretty big too. Personally, one of the best Pad See Ew entrees I've had in NJ still. ++++ Chinese Broccoli with Chicken and White Rice - Excellllllent. The chicken and Chinese broccoli had LOTS of sauce and there were carrots and mushrooms mixed in. The chicken was surprisingly pretty tender for chicken breast. + Employees were very friendly and prompt, always filling our hot teas. + Food came out blazzzingly fast, within minutes of us ordering. + Not a huge restaurant, but still plenty of tables and seats. + Private parking lot to the side. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came on a Saturday evening from 5:45-7 and it was quiet at first, but a steady stream of customers came in - mostly families - however, there were still open tables. CONCLUSION -------------------- - Unsurprisingly, the food during our dine-in experience was even better than when we did takeout! Definitely a solid Thai food option in the area!

Nice low key place with good food. We got the pork chops in garlic sauce, drunken noodles with…read moreseafood and chicken in ginger sauce. Very flavorful. We also got some pineapple fried rice to go with the meal. Curry puffs and spring rolls were our appetizers. Service was nice. This is a great option for Thai/Lao cuisine in the Hackensack-Maywood area.

My friend loves this place and maybe it was an odd night but...would not repeat…read more Spring rolls, so oil logged you could physically squeeze them and oil would pool on the bottom of the container. Crepe? An amalgamation of textures that likely shouldn't exist? Soggy mushy texturally just unappetizing and wet, the bottom of the container had a solid coat of water on it so everything inside was just mushy. Green curry, curry flavor good but that's where it ended for me. The tofu was totally mushy. Lychee juice, I love lychee but this tasted artificial and very watered down. We did door dash so I can't speak on service or ambiance but my friend will have to enjoy this on their own

Englewood's main Street isn't short of restaurants and eateries. Tons of cuisines are represented…read moreon this short set of blocks, and there's a good selection of chains and small businesses. But when it comes to Thai food, there's just two, and Khao Thai is one of them. Inside, the space is fairly large but it's kept relatively quiet and intimate with lots of two-tops. Our crispy calamari appetizer was a bit of a letdown. While hot and crispy, they seemed to have been breaded and fried as clumps. Even the accompanying sweet chili sauce couldn't mask that tough, rubbery texture. Entrees fared just a little better. My pad see ew was a little bland but perked up with some chili sauce dribbled over the plate by the spoonful. I chose beef as my protein and while there weren't a ton of beef pieces, the few I had were wonderfully tender. Service was friendly and lovely. Our server (who I also assume is the owner) welcomed us warmly and was quick to check on us. I was endeared by the owner's young daughter who came by to help and made sure all our water glasses stayed filled. I know we're riding the giant inflation wave, but the serving size felt a little paltry for the prices. Even after an appetizer and two entrees, we both had enough stomach space after dinner to fill up with nuggets at a nearby fast food restaurant.

The portion size is quite small. I just had Thai at another location earlier this week and this is…read morea stark difference. Flavors were okay. The pad Thai was way too sweet. The waitress wasn't rude but she didn't come back after bringing the food. Another person, maybe the manager or owner (and adult whereas the waitress was a teen or very early 20s) came out and never even spoke to or looked toward our table. I guess if I was desperate for Thai and nothing else was available I might try again but I'm not. I don't plan to return. The pad Thai is very one note which is the opposite of what makes Thai food amazing to begin with.

First of all, why aren't there more people here? My husband and I hadn't been in this area for…read moreyears, and we stumbled upon Bangkok Station in the middle of the week. We looked at each other and said, "Let's give it a try for lunch." We're true foodies, never afraid to explore a menu, so of course we ordered a variety of dishes and we were blown away. When we first walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner, and her staff was incredibly sweet. Their customer service made us feel instantly at home. Since it was lunchtime, we ordered from both the lunch specials and the regular menu. Before the food arrived, we asked the owner what style of Thai cooking they specialize in. She explained that their recipes come from the middle region of Thailand, near Chonburi. Central Thai cuisine is known for its beautiful balance of flavors sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy all working together in harmony. The dishes often have aromatic herbs, rich coconut-based sauces, fresh vegetables, and layered spices, creating food that feels both comforting and vibrant. After tasting everything, we understood exactly what she meant. The flavors were bold yet balanced, fragrant without being overwhelming, and incredibly satisfying. Here's what we enjoyed: Lunch Specials * Pad Khee Mao (Drunken Noodles) * Spicy Basil Sauce * Pad Thai Regular Menu * Tom Yum Goong * Masaman Curry Dessert * Banana Sticky Rice Drink * Thai Iced Tea Every single dish--not just one--was exceptional. The balance of flavors from the central Thai style truly shines through: the brightness of the herbs, the warmth of the spices, the creaminess of the curries, and the freshness of the vegetables. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. This restaurant deserves to be known and celebrated, and I'm sharing photos and videos so you can see exactly why. We even asked if we could meet Chef Patrick to thank him personally, and he kindly came out to greet us. It was such a thoughtful moment and made the experience even more special. Delicious food, warm hospitality, authentic Thai flavors, and a genuine family feel you simply can't beat this place. We absolutely cannot wait to return!

A cursed location, but now it's a great tiny Thai restaurant. Happened upon it for lunch one day…read moreand we weren't even sure it was open. It seemed like the waiter didn't speak much English but he helpfully provided us with a photo album of the dishes - all your typical Thai selections. But holy smokes that lady in the kitchen can cook! One drawback is that there is not a separate lunch menu, but we were able to find reasonably priced dishes. Presentation is thoughtful and food is good, so you can impress a date with this little find.

I think they were previously in Belleville that's why it's a 973 # (This was the old hot dog place on State Street). We called in a pick-up order. They estimated 30 min was done in 22 min didn't have to wait. There's a public municipal metered Parking across Essex Street or I believe for pick up you can park on side or back of building. Ordered: -Thai Ice Tea (not pictured) -Sm Tom Yum soup w shrimp & mushroom (not pictured) -Thai Dumplings -Shrimp rolls -Spring Rolls -Crispy chicken w/Cashews -Shrimp Fried rice We asked for everything not spicy. The Thai Iced Tea was very good (I kept stretching it by adding lactose free milk & it was perfect it never lost it's flavor) The Crispy Chicken looked like it could have been mushy but it wasn't - it was perfect crisp with perfect sauce adhered and a perfect bite size all fresh vegetables with good crunch not soggy. Both spring roll & shrimp roll were not greasy they were light and flavorful. The shrimp fried was also not greasy and the shrimp in the rice was cooked perfectly not rubbery or overcooked. Dumplings had a nice consistency, nice flavor and were fully stuffed wrapping was light not heavy or too doughy. Did not try the Tom Yum soup w shrimp & mushroom yet but looking forward to it! Definitely going back well try dine in next. NOTE: These things I saw on previous menu seem to no longer be offered. Chicken Satay or Pineapple Fried Rice. But you can ask...

I ordered out / did pick-up so I can't say much about dining in but:…read more The restaurant is immaculately neat and clean. The decor is very simple and cozy so it feels calming and not overstimulating. It's very quiet so it would be a great place to take your time really savoring every bite and have intimate conversations I also loved how you could choose your spiciness level. When I called in to ask "when you say 'spicy,' does that mean white-people 'spicy' or Asian-level 'spicy'?" They humored me by answering honestly and non-offendedly. Their staff was very accommodating and solution oriented by giving me the spices on the side so I could adjust for myself PROS: their spicy garlic chili oil (made in-house), veryyy addictive. If they bottled it, I'd buy packs of it. Their pad kee mao. I am veryyyyyyy picky about my Thai food but this place is in my top 2 NJ spots for pad kee mao. I can't believe I didn't know about it sooner. CONS: you might have to whisper in hushed tones so the table next to you doesn't overhear your conversation if you choose to dine in (but is that really a con? I hate having to shout in restaurants to be heard) I would order out from here all the time and I'd eat in when I want some alone time (peace and quiet to be with my thoughts and enjoy my food) or for a cozy intimate date (whether it's with a guy or some girl friends)
