Sweet Thai Chilli Wings
Donnie F.

In town for my sister's wedding and we all stepped out to Truly Thai. Spot is a cozy spot ... and the waitress greeted us with a smile when we entered. For my app I got the wings with the sweet Thai chili sauce and for my entre I gottthe crispy duck with the massaman curry...Soooo let me tell yall about these wings ... AWESOME... AWESOME AWESOME ... they came out hot cooked perfectly ... and that Thai chilli sauce did not miss. As far as the entree it didn't disappoint .. the duck was cooked good so that it wasn't tough. The curry sauce was also a great pairing. I did a spice level of 3 which I couldn't have did a 4 but played it safe. The veggies were also fresh. And the pineapples always add that extra flair. Perfect way to start the trip in Jersey

Moo Ping
Alex M.

What a great Thai restaurant! We passed this place a couple times and decided to abandon our dinner plans one day and turn in...and it was a good decision. On that occasion, we ordered Chicken Satay, Chicken Pad Kee Mao, and Chicken Pad Thai. We visited them again over the weekend and had the Moo Ping as an appetizer and we both had Chicken Pad Thai. All the food has been delicious and made to our requested spice levels. There is plenty of seating inside, but beware, parking is limited in the lot directly attached to the restaurant. There is additional parking nearby though, so don't sweat it. Our server was very attentive and pricing was fair for the portions. We both had leftovers for the next day. They also have a Bubble Tea store on the opposite side which you can order from as well. We look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

This is a no frills Thai spot with great flavor, decent prices, a bubble tea menu, and an ice cream shop right down the hall. The chicken pad Thai (that we've had on two occasions so far) is authentic, and they accurately deliver whichever spice level you order. I can't stand when I ask for SPICY, but the place goes easy on me and gives me a mild or medium dish. Truly Thai doesn't do that - they actually give you the level that you order. The service is fast and the ladies are always friendly. The atmosphere is super casual (very basic decor, nothing trendy), but their high quality meals are enough to keep us coming back.

An amazing homey Thai restaurant! While parking is limited the food and price is unbeatable. The lunch special is about $12 and comes with an entree and salad. The salad has this good peanut ginger sauce. I got the drunken noodles and Thai fried rice and both were amazing. They had a very Thai basil flavor, savory and spicy without being too much of anything. The mango sticky rice is also amazing. The mango was perfectly ripe despite the time of year and the rice has an almost wheat or barley flavor that I like to it. I'm so sad I didn't find this place sooner. The parking is a little difficult because there are only 3 spots.

Wall decor

Cute hole in the wall kind of place with Boba tea and dessert in the front, and restaurant in the back. I ordered spring rolls, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, and Thai ice tea. Food was really good and the staff were super friendly and professional. For boba, I ordered Passionfruit Green Tea with popping Lychee boba, and that was absolutely amazing.

Menu

We tried this Thai place for lunch. We ordered shrimp pad thai and grilled chicken (gayang). It tastes good. Serving Staff are friendly and helpful. They gave us a sample of Thai Iced tea on the house. Well decorated Thai Place. Parking is limited. They also have an ice cream parlor in the back for summer opening.

Dining area for the restaurant
P E.

We stopped here for some Thai food as we were in the area and saw the 4.8 rating. While there were some high points, generally we were disappointed compared to other Thai places we have dined at. We stopped in for lunch. The small complementary salad was not worth the effort and was pretty unappealing. The spice fish cake appetizers were a bit spongy in texture but delicious in flavor with its accompanying sauce. The star was the papaya salad. Very fresh and refreshing and I would order this and the fish cakes again. The pad Thai with tofu and vegetables was a bit too sweet and came out super hot. The massaman chicken was somewhat bland. Thai ice coffee was large. We ordered one for everyone at the table and they all came out with different shade of brown Decor is tired Chinese restaurant furniture and booths with Thai decorations. The front entrance leads you to an ice cream counter. The hall winds around back to the restaurant. Off street parking is limited to three spots in the back. Street parking is available across the street. This place is NOT handicapped accessible. There is no ramp at the front OR rear even though there would be room In front for an indoor ramp. Restrooms are also NOT handicapped accessible. Don't know how Sayreville thinks this is OK.

Pad See Ew
Kaitlin R.

The pad see ew here is very good and delivery is speedy. I obviously can't speak to service or ambiance since I ordered delivery, but I would definitely order from here again. It was a bit on the pricier side but the servings were very generous and everyone had leftovers.

Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles)
Yasmine G.

We ordered takeout and our food got to us pretty quickly and everything was still piping hot. We got Spring Rolls, two of us had the Pad Kee Mao with Beef and one of ordered the Pad See Ew. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The Spring Rolls were crunchy and the filling was delicious. The Pad Kee Mao had the perfect amount of spice and a good proportion of beef. I get the Pad Kee Mao almost every time I get Thai food and this was definitely one of the best I've had. Would definitely recommend!

Chicken Satay and Moo Ping
Lawrence D.

My wife and I ordered take-out this past Saturday evening from Truly Thai. The front of the building faces Main Street and appears under construction. The main entrance is on the side street, up a few steps and you are inside. The counter and this room is neat and clean with about a dozen tables. There was a party of six obviously enjoying their meal. The staff is friendly and courteous. They said 20 minutes to be ready and it was a little less than that. Returning home we had our appetizers, Chicken Satay and Moo Ping (pork BBQ). The peanut sauce with the Chicken Satay was fabulous while the Moo Ping had a delicious sweet and sour sauce. For our entrees, my wife had Pad Gra Tiem, her choice of protein was crispy duck and she said it was so good. The garlic sauce matched perfectly. I had Pad Gra Prow, my choice of protein was chicken. The Thai Basil sauce was fragrant and delicious. Each dish came with Jasmine rice. Sayreville and the surrounding areas have been bereft of good Thai food. Truly Thai is a breath of fresh and delicious air. We will be returning. One note, I only took photos of the appetizers. Those were so good that we both dug into our entrees with delight and I forgot to take photos.

Pad Prik Khing
Kerry F.

We eat quite a bit of Thai, but this has been our very favorite to date! We came for lunch and ordered two appetizers and four lunch specials to share between just the two of us because we wanted to sample the different dishes. We ordered the spring rolls and Tom Yum soup, the barbequed special, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken with cashews and Pad Prik Khing. Every dish was better than the next! The flavors were so intense, yet perfect! The wait staff were truly personable and accommodating too. The place was comfortable and clean. The decor wasn't anything special, but I have no problem with that because the food and service is what matters. I'm drooling just thinking about it. ready to go back NOW!!!

Fried Iced cream (Left), Fried Banana Rolls (Right), Mango and Sticky Rice (Bottom)
Mark S.

First of all, entrance for the restaurant is on the side street and not on Main. Stopped in over the weekend to dine in. They have a very small parking lot on the side street. 3 cars if you're lucky. Believe they opened less than 2 months ago. It's a pretty small dining area inside with only about 10 or 12 tables total including booths. We shared 3 apps... Spring rolls,edamame & Thai dumplings. Entrees were... Pad Thai,Pad cashew (spicy), and Thai bbq with pork. You will have leftovers on these if you're coming for dinner. Save room for dessert. We shared 3. They were, fried banana rolls with ice cream (our favorite), mango & sticky rice, and fried ice cream. Those banana rolls were served warm with vanilla ice cream. That was sinfully good and not too sweet. Just wish that there were more than 4 small ones. :) Service was excellent. We met one of the owners at the end when settling up our bill. He showed the 3 of us the front part of this property. Which is going to be serving bubble tea and ice cream in a few months. Prices are very reasonable here. And yes, welcome to Sayreville.

Ice cream
Sasha C.

Truly amazing food! We had the calamari, the green curry, chicken satay, mixed seafood pad kee mao and Thai Ice Tea. Everything was fresh and hot. The atmosphere is great. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations. We had food left over and ordered dessert to go. We also picked up ice cream from the parlor in the front. We ordered scoops of caramel apple pie, pumpkin and chocolate pretzel.. which we rich and decadent. We're planning a trip back soon.

While I was eating my dinner, I heard some yelling going on and noticed a scene in front of me. The manager/owner was loudly berating his staff members in the dining area and threw his phone at the front desk counter. I think that is extremely unprofessional to do in front of staff and customers. If you have to have a serious conversation with your staff you should not be doing that in front of dining customers. That left a bad impression in me and I don't think I'll be coming back.

We have asked them a few times to refill water as well. Seems like their servers didn't want to serve. On top of that, during hot weather... Please turn up the AC, I was extremely uncomfortable eating hot foods while sitting in 80 degrees temperatures. I hope they update their units. Since winter is fast approaching, this is probably not a priority but I hope that they read their review of this and take it to heart.

I actually visited here early last month while on a trip to visit family friends and friends in…read moreNY/NJ. I was flipping ecstatic when I saw this place was still open and survived the C-Word. I felt so at home eating the food I had back in my college days with my original order. I will say that the restaurant did downsize, however I'm just happy that they're still there to begin with, just in case I haven't elaborated. The decor did get a nice lift and more modern than the back of the day set up. I think it's cute. I believe the young lady that's been there for years may have been the owner the whole time and I was just too oblivious to actually pay attention. The server herself... I felt bad that she couldn't really understand me as my order was incorrect on what I was missing in my soup. My usual from back in the day was Beef and Beef Tendon Noodle Soup, and I would always ask for tripe with mixed beef intestines... so I was missing the intestines but genuinely didn't really think of it as a big deal since I just wanted to taste the food again. Overall, soup, 15/10. The XLB's are just goodness and warms my soul and lord have mercy how much I have missed these little puppies. I need to let everyone know that there is no good XLB's in the San Jose or East Bay Area of California. Complete disappointment. But that's just my opinion. Shanghai Noodle House's XLB's 20/10

We came on a Sunday around 1pm and about half the tables were occupied so there was no wait. First thing I noticed is the inside is all different, maybe newer looking. They must have changed ownership from when I last came. The food wasn't authentic and wasn't good. We ordered soup dumplings, sweet soy milk, savory soy milk, and pan fried dumplings. Soup dumplings- the good thing is here they give you 8 pieces (vs 6 pieces in other NJ places). The skin is too thin. It was difficult to pick up with a chopstick or spoon and not 1 piece stayed intact while picking it up. All of the soup leaked out before it even reached my plate. The texture of the skin was "slippery" vs the bouncy kind I usually see with soup dumplings. My husband said he bit into a small piece of bone which is weird. Sweet soy milk- it wasn't a smooth drink. There were lots of soy grits Savory soy milk- tasted very watered down. Didn't have much soy milk flavor Pan fried dumplings- the portion was generous with 6 huge pan fried dumplings. These are the largest I've seen anywhere. They look more like buns than dumplings!! It was ok but overall it didn't taste like a pan fried dumpling. The owners seem really nice and friendly, chatting with some of the customers. Their service was good too. It's just the food isn't authentically Shanghainese.

Their website promised pickup in 20 minutes. I left the The Heldrich Hotel and made the ten minute walk, only to find my order already being bagged. Efficiency like that gives a person hope. Hope, as it turns out, is fragile. Back in the room, I opened the containers immediately. Spicy beef noodles with hand pulled noodles in a beef and pork broth, along with steamed pork soup dumplings that had been spoken of with reverence online. The dumplings were cold. Not warm, not cooling. Cold, like they had been waiting longer than I had. They had fused together into a single tragic mass. When I tried to separate them, the dough tore open and the soup filling spilled out into the container, abandoning its purpose. How this happened during a ten minute walk is a mystery. The more likely answer is that it did not. The noodles were at least hot. The flavor was fine. Not offensive, not memorable, just present. You eat it, and it disappears from your mind almost immediately. This is a place people seem to love, which makes the experience feel like a clerical error in the matrix. Perhaps it was an off night. Perhaps I caught them at the exact wrong moment, but on this particular evening, dinner felt less like a meal and more like a misunderstanding.
