It's a small little Thai restaurant that's just average. I'd even give it a 2.5.
I ordered the Pad Se Ew and have had way better pretty much from every other Thai place I've ever been to. Something about this dish was off.
My dish should have 10 bucks instead of 13. Oh well. I'd probably not come here again unless a friend was adamant about it..
Solid food just too rich and too salty. Ordered takeout which was fast (delivery slow). Will have to go in person. Friendly staff intimate environment.
This is the first Thai restaurant I've tried in Hoboken. Service was quick and attentive when I came for dinner (7:00 on a Thursday). Food is average, but they are BYOB and also deliver!
5 stars for what it is, your dependable neighborhood cheap Thai delivery spot. Don't eat here. It's a hole in the wall. Delivery is solid and takes 20 minutes. Drink your bottle of wine at home.
Normally I judge a Thai place by the Penang curry. There's is scrumptious, but not my favorite menu item by a lot. These are the things you need to try:
*paw pia sod – crab, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, egg, in a steamed spring roll with plum sauce – light but packed with flavor
*larb nau – ground beef with chili, lemon juice, and herbs – brightness of the citrus sets off the savory and spicy beef
*kai pad ped/nau pad ped/lamb pad ped – chicken beef or lamb with eggplant in red chili paste curry – what do they do to that eggplant it's like crack?!?! Not a drop of that sauce goes to waste in my house
Stop ordering pad Thai, try the aforementioned items, tell them not to make it white girl spicy but Thai princess spicy, then give hit me up to thank me.
3.5 Stars overall, nice quiet atmosphere and decent food with adequate service, and it is BYOB, so its OK in our book and we might return.
Pros:
1) One block off Washington St, so not as crowded as Bangkok Thai on Washington
2) BYOB! no corking fee, so that's great
3) Decent food, we liked the Pad See Eew and the Sweet Chicken with Pinapple and the Spring Rolls (not too greasy), but we weren't fans of the Papaya Salad (I get that pretty much at every Thai restaurant); the Masumun curry wasn't spicy enough but if you like it sweeter, there ya go
4) Service was adequate, quick with the water refills, but nothing special, no recommendations, no welcome, no thank you, no chit-chat, no anything really (some like that though)
5) They have the very good standard Thai chili sauce, a must!
Cons:
1) Cold in the winter, they have inadequate baseboard heating and only one front door so when it opens, bam, you get a nice blast of cold air
2) It smells (kind of like dog poop said the two women at my table), but I think all Thai places have that certain odor
3) Kind of pricey, even without alcohol, but all Thai seems to be in Hoboken
So maybe BYOB is the best thing they have going for them, and the hot sauce. There's no really "amazing" Thai in Hoboken, sadly.
This place is located on a corner off the beaten path of Hoboken's strip. Its next to a homeless shelter. I was super scared walking from where we parked our car up the block. I had to hold my date super close, take out the sharpest object i had in my bag, and take out my new taser attachment that i just bought thats attaches to my new iphone!! Lol I was hoping no one lunged at me while walking passed. Pretty scary. Ok back to writing this review.
We were going to sit outside because it was beautiful out, but well we opted not to. The place inside is super small. Its nice but has no ambience. We order chicken and shrimp pad thai and ginger duck. And two thai teas. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. The pad thai was full of peanuts, which i was told thats what it is suppose to be and it had a ton of lemon grass in the mix. The duck was good but a little over done.
Will i come back here? Im gonna say a big negative. I wont put myself at risk to come back even if the food was great.
This is not your usual Americanized Thai restaurant.
I love dining here whenever I'm in Hoboken and craving for some affordable authentic Thai cuisine. The place is quaint, homey and very unpretentious. They offer BYOB and do not charge for corkage fee.
The Paw Pia Sod; steamed spring rolls with crab meat, Chinese sausage,egg and bean sprouts is a delicious appetizer and a great dish to share.
The Tom kha koong; coconut milk soup based with shrimp is always on my list. While Larb Moo; ground pork with chili, lemon juice and Thai herb served with lettuce and Jasmine rice is my all time favorite. the balance between spice and citrus flavor suits my palate.
In summary, a great place to dine that serves freshly cooked Thai dishes!
As the Duke here at Sri Thai, it is absolutely outrageous that I have not yet written a review. (This is after all, my favorite go to spot in Hoboken)
Simply put, this is the BEST THAI IN HOBOKEN! Add on the BYOB and you've got a home run, ladies and gents!
The employees are as friendly as ever and the food is spectacular. From the curries, to the stir fries, to the noodles. I have tried and loved them all.
Trust me and don't go anywhere else for your Thai!
