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!

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.

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.

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.

Love both the Drunken Noodle or Drunken Rice with chicken…read more Be aware of the spiciness level for either dish. Recommend getting NO spice and have the spice as a side bowl to add. It does add a kick but can overwhelm the great Thai flavor!

Overall, a really good experience at Siwa Thai! Everything we ordered had good flavor, and the…read moreportions were generous, but a few dishes were missing that extra something that would've taken them to the next level. Tom Kha Gai (Chicken Coconut Soup) -- 4/5 Great flavor and plenty of chicken! My only complaint was that the broth lacked a little depth compared to other Tom Kha soups I've had. It was pretty thin, which isn't necessarily unusual for this soup, but I've had versions with a richer, more layered flavor and a little more body. Still a really enjoyable soup and a solid way to start the meal. Roti Thai Style (Roti with Massaman Curry) -- 3/5 This one was a little disappointing, mostly because of the texture and consistency. The curry dipping sauce was pretty loose and didn't really cling to the roti, while the roti itself wasn't particularly flaky. It was actually a little limp. Flavor-wise, it was good, and there was a generous amount of chicken and other ingredients in the curry, which I appreciated. But I personally prefer a little more substance to both the bread and the sauce. Penang in Edison does this dish exceptionally well, in my opinion, so that's kind of my benchmark. Not a bad dish by any means, just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Thai Red Curry -- 5/5 Easily the star of the meal! The red curry absolutely stole the show. The combination of peanuts, basil, and that rich, delicious curry flavor worked so well together. Spoon it over some white rice and you've got yourself a fantastic dish. It was the perfect way to round out the meal after a couple of appetizers that were tasty but didn't quite blow me away. I'd absolutely come back for this one! Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) -- 4/5 Another solid dish! Plenty of chicken and peppers, which I loved, and the overall flavor was really good. My biggest complaint was that it didn't quite hit my preferred spice level. I like my drunken noodles with a little more heat and a bit more sauce to really coat everything. A little more of both would've gone a long way here. Still, definitely an enjoyable noodle dish that I'd recommend. Final Thoughts Siwa Thai gets a solid 4/5 from me. The flavors were good across the board, portions were generous, and that curry alone is worth coming back for. I just think a little more attention to texture, consistency, and depth of flavor in some of the other dishes would really elevate the experience. Definitely a place I'd order from again, and I'll be getting that curry when I do!

The decor and design pays tribute to certain Thai culture aspects and will grab your eye as soon as you walk in. Ambiance is good for a casual dinner or a dinner date. Seating is comfortable. Service was very attentive and polite. One of the guys working there reminded me of when my elderly father worked at restaurants. Very nice and sweet. Food menu is a typical Thai food menu. All the classics are there. My bestie took me here because I was visiting and it's her favorite Thai place in the area. I had to agree. My panang curry was spot on and even better the next day as leftovers. Calamari was perfectly crispy. My Thai tea was just perfect. Everything looked and tasted awesome. No complaints at all. The bathroom was super clean and smelled like a day spa. Very relaxing and comfortable. Not at all what I expected from a restaurant bathroom. But that goes into all the details that this place has thought of. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. They have different protein options, so if you want to go for plant-based you can. The food was very delicious and well worth it. You will find something you like here. Staff is very knowledgeable with the menu, so feel free to ask for suggestions.

Not to mention the fact that it is fully vegan/vegetarian THAI food; I haven't encountered one recently. If you're Jain, check out this place! We were visiting and in the area so made sure to drop by for lunch on a Sunday. In addition to having no onion, no garlic options, they are also knowledgeable about food allergies! Color me impressed! But back to that allium-free thing: there are usually limited options at places that claim they have a menu for those restrictions, but we could have most of the menu here! My youngest is allergic to wheat, eggs, avocado, peanuts (iffy since this is a Thai restaurant), tree nuts, pineapples, and kiwi, but he could have a decent amount of things as well. They also have a gluten-free sauce option so he doesn't have to miss out on flavor! The menu is actually primarily vegan for the most part but you can add egg for an additional $1. It can go either way though. In addition, spice level and items that contain wheat/gluten are indicated on the menu. They have sections for appetizers, soup, curries, noodles, dishes with rice, fried rice, dessert, and drinks. We ended up getting a little bit of everything (all allium free) because we weren't sure what our youngest would like: ROTI - I got this for my eldest, who is picky. But she loves carbs. I knew she'd love peel-apart roti and dip it in the curry... and I was right? She loved it. The curry is super flavorful and the spiciest thing we ordered. This matches with the previous times I've had this dish. TOM KHA - a coconut-based soup that isn't spicy and a nice combination of tangy and savory. This is one of the items that we got in case our youngest liked it. He didn't (very foreign flavors for him), but at least the adults did. FRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS - oh, my. I would get this every time I go. Absolutely delicious and lightly crisp. Juicy insides, but nowhere was the dish wet. The chili salt for sprinkling/dipping was perfection. Pad Thai (peanuts on the side) - another item we got for our youngest. I'm getting the impression he doesn't like sweet/sour/tangy flavors (or he needs to get acclimated since this is his first exposure to it) because he didn't really like this one either. The adults enjoyed it though! Mango Curry - a fairly mild curry and delicious and came with a small bowl of rice. I'm not sure if they would have provided another bowl of rice because it would have been too small if it were for my husband, who is a bottomless pit for rice (he would have needed 2-3 of those bowls at least). The flavors were there! This was a winner with my youngest, but mostly just the rice and soup. The vegetables weren't cooked well enough for him (he likes them softer). Mild with a nice sweetness from the mango. We ordered quite a bit considering the fact that our kids don't eat that much, so we opted out of dessert, but we did get drinks (oat milk is the vegan milk alternative)! Both kids got orange and apple juice, respectively. The adults got: THAI ICED TEA - I enjoyed mixing the milk together (I chose regular milk) where it had that signature orange color. Tasted perfect as well! Not too much ice so when they did melt, it didn't taste watered down. THAI ICED COFFEE - This was my husband's, who loves coffee. But he likes black coffee. No, They cannot make this not sweet (he asked). I really liked this one too! You can taste the Thai tea and though it is sweet, it's not too sweet. It was the perfect marriage between Thai tea and coffee. Hubby thought it was fine because it was sweet (he prefers black, unsweetened, hot), but he thought it wasn't bad. I'd order this for myself. This place is located in a shopping strip with other eateries and businesses with ample parking. The decor seemed somewhat incomplete but the place was clean. Tables were cleaned promptly and staff were super helpful! It isn't all that brightly lit, but not in a bad way. While there, they had a steady trickle of customers and the same amount of take out/delivery orders. Food was great and reasonably priced. Owner is Buddhist; traditional Buddhist cuisine is allium-free, which explains the extensive options for those who follow that diet. AND both of my kids liked something there. Plus my kid with the multiple food allergies had no issues. Yay! Count us in for future visits! Looking forward to trying more things.

I did some research into Thai spots near us, and Siam Smiles came highly recommended. To start, restaurant wasn't crowded. It was pretty sparsely filled when we got there around 6:30, and filled up throughout our meal but was never crowded. It looked like most of their patrons prefer takeout. As a side note, my wife loved the ambiance and interior design of the place. Next, the service was nice. The gentleman who helped us for most of the night was pleasant and helpful. He wasn't right on top of us but the restaurant was small enough that if we needed anything we were able to grab his attention. Very nice guy. We started our meal with the duck buns. I liked them, but I would probably skip them next time and go with a different appetizer. Personally, I felt they were a bit lacking in the flavor category. Would likely have benefited from more sauce. When it came to choosing our entrees, I opted for the pad thai with shrimp. My wife went with the pad see ew with beef. Both were delicious. Our server also gave us 2 small containers, one had a powder and one a sauce, both of which were intended to add spice to our meals. Personally, my spice tolerance is pretty low so I went with the mild. My wife was gonna go for the medium option, but went with mild after our server warned her that their medium is spicier than we may expect. That warning was very much appreciated, as my wife felt that any spicier than her meal ended up being would have been too much for her. The meals were delicious and the portions generous. Funny enough, I ended up liking my wife's more than my own, and she liked my dish more than her own. All in all, a great date night and a delicious introduction to Thai food. We will certainly be returning.
