    4. Pad Kra Pao (Spicy)
    Eronini D.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for almost 20 years, and it continues to be one of my go-to spots for Thai food. I enjoy visiting different Thai restaurants depending on what I'm in the mood for, since each place has its own unique flavors -- and this one is definitely on my list of favorites. The Pad Gra Prow is my top pick here -- flavorful basil sauce, fresh vegetables, and your choice of meat over rice. The Drunken Noodles are another great option I always enjoy. The staff is friendly, the service is consistently good, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. Located in the Somerset Shopping Center next to Barnes & Noble, it's easy to find and always worth the visit. After all these years, this spot still holds up and absolutely earns four stars from me!

    Beef Pad See Ew (wrong order)
    Aneesha M.

    I ordered the chicken pad see ew for pickup and was unfortunately given the wrong dish which had beef instead of chicken. The noodles seemed very fresh however and I could tell it seemed to made well, it was just the wrong order. I returned and they redid my order and unfortunately the chicken pad see ew was completely overcooked and dry. The noodles were stuck together, the sauce had been overly reduced and dried up, and the chicken was very dry and overcooked as well. I didn't have the best experience but the service was friendly and the restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere and looked like a nice place to dine in.

    Food was pretty good, sauces were amazing. The place was empty; seems like take-out from here is a more popular option. Service was decent as well. Will come here again.

    Pad Kra Pao lunch special, comes with small salad
    Vineet S.

    We came here first during the pandemic for a dinner pick and I tried them again during lunch today. The place was super busy and bustling with lunch traffic but I was able to quickly get a table. Got the lunch special that comes with a salad. Food was yummy, service was really good and staff was very hospitable. Solid Thai spot!!

    I had dinner here with my fiancé recently after shopping in the plaza where the restaurant is located. Yelp gave it four stars so I'd figured we should check it out. The restaurant is spacious and the services was prompt. We started off with the calamari. It was just okay. I ordered the pad Thai with beef. The portion was generous. The meal itself was very bland. I asked for chili oil and was brought chili flakes. The flavor was really lacking which was disappointing. The meal was okay not sure if I'd eat here again.

    Soft shell crab in Thai basil sauce.  Not over sauced, and the fry is light and allows the flavor of the crab to come through.

    All I can say is DELICIOUS! I've come back three times now for this soft shell crab which is seasonal and offered in Thai Basil or Green Curry sauce. It's really friendly and gets a large lunch crowd.

    Now "The Thai"

    Was in Bridgewater NJ today and was recommended to this restaurant instead of Seasons in Bridgewater Commons for a change. I was a bit concerned that most reviews of this location were under the name of "Thai Kitchen II", and not "The Thai". However, the reason for the name change is not important. Apparently it's the same owners and the same menu. Once I knew that, I was comfortable ordering the duck noodles which were fantastic. Also did chicken satay skewers, also fantastic, and the peanut sauce was superb. Without a baseline of what 1-5 spicy means here, went with 3, and it was plenty tingly. My colleague also got 3 and thought the spice level was a bit hotter than other 3's he's ordered here before. Besides the food being incredible, and the dining room being very nice, what I also loved about this place is that the kitchen runs out the food when it is ready, nice and hot, directly to your table, without having to wait for the server to figure out when to run food. Will definitely be back. GEM!

    Food was good, but I felt that my noodle dish portion was light. A decent amount of chicken, throw some more rice noodles in there!

I met with a friend and she enjoyed her meal (and appreciated that they modified her meal slightly to her liking, without mushrooms, too). On a side note, I didn't look ahead that it was a bring-your-own-wine type place, but I was quite ok either way. I would definitely visit again and bring someone with me to try it for the first time too. I really wish I had room to try their Tom Ka soup - I was too full to have that too though.

Somerville is an area we had never explored before, and while searching on Google, we found many good restaurant options. We finally decided to try Origin French Thai. All day it rained heavily, and by 7:30 PM it had become quite dark. Finding parking was a little difficult. Even though there is a municipal parking lot right next to the restaurant, getting a spot still took some time. One thing we really liked was the whole downtown vibe. The streets on both sides are closed for cars, and people can sit outside along the sidewalks, which gives the area a nice European-style atmosphere (though it was raining that day) We had a reservation booked already (highly recommended), and we got a comfortable couch table in the back section overlooking the restaurant. The ambience was really nice -- dim lighting with an Asian-inspired theme. They also have another seating section inside, so the place is actually bigger than it looks in some photos. We ordered: * Tom Yum Goong Soup - Easily one of the best Tom Yum soups I've ever had. After such a rainy day, it felt extra comforting and satisfying. 5/5 * Noodle Curry Shrimp - Crispy noodles soaked in gravy with shrimp pieces and a red coconut cream-based curry. Absolutely delicious. 5/5 * Red Curry Chicken - The gravy felt somewhat similar to the noodle curry dish to me, but it was still really flavorful and enjoyable. 4/5 Overall, the entire experience was wonderful. The food truly made the evening special and created a memorable birthday dinner for us. If I'm ever passing through this area again, I would definitely come back.

I went with two of their house specials. I ordered: B1. Bún Đặc Biệt P2. Phở Đặc Biệt My order was ready in about 20 minutes, which was pretty quick for two big dishes. It was packed neatly and the broth was packed separately so the noodles didn't get soggy. The Bún Đặc Biệt was definitely my favorite! It comes with a variety of meats and shrimp, so every bite is a little different, and the crispy spring roll on top really made the dish for me. If you can't decide what to get, this is a great choice because you get to try a bit of everything. The Phở Đặc Biệt was also really filling. The broth was really delicious especially as the cold weather is creeping in. One important heads up: let them know you want the steak cooked when you order! Otherwise it comes raw, the traditional way, and you cook it yourself in the hot broth. That's harder to do when you're getting it to go. The servings were so plentiful! I was definitely full and even had some leftovers to save for later, so you really get your money's worth here. I'll definitely be ordering from Pho Today again the next time I'm craving phở or bún!
