Solid thai food. Nothing fancy. There's really no incredible Thai food in this area so this is the best you are going to get.
Got their pad thai lunch special and the noodles were fine, seasoned like most pad thai. The spring roll that came with it was barely edible, but it could be a personal preference as I am generally not a fan of spring rolls.
Got a thai iced tea and that tasted just like every other I've had. All in all, I will be back as this is your best bet for Thai.
T Thai is a hidden gem in Hoboken. It is a very small and casual place with a great price. You can't beat the dinner special! It comes with a salad, soup, appetizer, and a full entree for under $20. The portions are super generous. The pro is that it's byob and the con is that they don't take reservations. Not that it's ever been a huge issue but with a rather larger party it might be.
I do recommend the Tom yum soup, the beef and pineapple fried rice, drunken noodles, the duck and mango salad and the shrimp roll. Complement the meal with a Thai ice tea and close the meal with their fried ice cream drizzled with raspberry purée…. Yummy!! I've never left this place not satisfied. Did I mention the service is great and the employees are super nice and attentive?! That really makes the experience as well.
I got the lunch special. It was a great deal, lots of food for $8. However, I ordered the Pad Thai with tofu and was dissapointed that the tofu wasn't cooked or flavored — they had just cut it up into cubes and put it (still cold in the middle) around the edges of the dish. If the tofu had been fried, or even if they had included extra of the flavored small peices of tofu instead, I would have really enjoyed this.
Nice Thai food place in Hoboken. We ended up walking in because it was close to the oarking lot where we left our rental and we were ravenously hungry. It turned out to be chill and low key, the type of place that's been in the neighborhood awhile and has a realiable following for dining in and carry-out.
Lunch specials were very reasonably priced and portioned. We started with some chicken wings with chili (good), grilled squid with chili sauce and ground peanut (not bad but too tender for my taste…Iike squid chewy), and I had the spicy thick noodles with shrimp, which were good.
There were also some interesting chef's specials if you're willing to spend a few extra bucks. Overall, a nice neighborhood Thai joint for the residents.

I had a craving for pad thai, which is why I ended up here. I came with 3 friends and after we each ordered our food, they came out with an appetizer salad for each of us, simple iceberg lettuce with a bit of tomato and shredded carrots in a peanut sauce/dressing, as well as a miniature spring roll. It was a nice surprise, since none of us realized we'd be getting complimentary anything with our entrees, but both the salad and the spring roll were meh. The spring roll barely had anything in it – it looked a decent size, but it was mostly more of the dough/wrapping inside than filling. As for the pad thai that I ordered, the noodles were cooked very well, long and just chewy enough for my liking. However, I chose to order shrimp pad thai, rather than chicken, tofu, or beef, and I counted three shrimps. TOTAL. When I paid extra for the shrimp (it's slightly more expensive than chicken or tofu). Therefore, I can only give the food a B.
Service: C+
Sub par. I asked for my pad thai to be made spicy. It was not…at all. I didn't bother complaining since I was starving and didn't want to wait longer to eat, so I just mixed in hot sauce. I was very disappointed though. Other than that, the service was average. They weren't overly friendly, but we got our food and our waters were refilled. *shrug*
Ambiance: B-
This place is decorated very simply, nothing special. It was quiet here on a Sunday afternoon. There were maybe one or two other tables. One table was a man alone with his cellphone, which kept beeping incredibly loudly. Not the fault of the restaurant, but it really messed with the chill vibe here.
All in all:
This place overall was good, above average, but I've had much better thai food (pad thai specifically) and I was unimpressed by the place itself.
I didn't know I liked Thai food until I went here. Their Pad Thai is amazing. Owner is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in here for a delicious local meal!
A hidden gem in Hoboken. The quality and amount of food you get for the price is unbeatable. Its also BYOB which makes it even more affordable. The food is always freshly made. The Calamari and Beef Pineapple Fried Rice are a must. For spicy food lovers, the Green Curry will not disappoint. I do wish they'd take reservations. The place is pretty small and getting a table for a bigger party may not be as easy. My go-to for homemade quality food.
Located near the water, this is a great place to stop by on your date.
I stop by at least once a month (which is a lot for me) and the staff are always nice. Sometimes the service is a little slow because they seem to do more take out than sit in.
My go to orders are the beef pad Thai and chicken with ginger sauce. It's always fresh and has the right spices. Their pad Thai is a little on the sweeter side, I wish it had more tang naturally but I just squeeze extra lime on it.
Be careful of their Thai ice tea, it's seriously addicting.
