If you want some good food for a fair man's price this is the place to go. We made reservations which was clutch because there was a wait. Our entrees did not come out all at the same time but we all picked at each others plates anyway. The atmosphere isn't ideal but the food is what keeps us coming back. It's BYOB so it should be an affordable night out.
Came by Boonton Thai Cuisine again for a dinner. Ordered Beef Pad Thai Woon Sen (Mild, menu item N6) per recommendation from a waitress and I must say it was very delicious. In fact I ordered another one for to go because I wanted to have it later.
It is nice to have a good Thai restaurant near by my home. Will go back again soon!
Oh my goodness…. i can finally say i finally found a great thai place that's close to me…. I passed by the area couple weeks ago and saw the sign "now open"… i was determine to try!! and man, did i find the little gem here…
It's a very small place and you need to find street parking… as you walk in, you will see the open kitchen, with couple small tables (so not too good for big crowd i think)… so my husband and i sat down and were determine to try something that we loved from another thai restaurant to "test them out"…
We ordered duck pineapple curry, clay pot shrimp and lard na… the food was AWESOME!! you see them making your dishes in the kitchen, so so fresh!!! presentation is very nice, and taste, oh man… it was delicious…
Service is awesome!! the lady keep stopping by and check on us and see if we need anything and how's the food was!!! take out is busy too because you hear the phone keep ringing!! that means they are good…
So, do go try them out… i am determine to try everything on their menu and tell you how good they all are… 🙂
I love Thai food…I only started eating it about 8 years ago, and immediately began kicking myself for not trying it sooner. If you're like me and love Thai food…you're going to enjoy a visit to Boonton Thai Cuisine. Before I get to the food I have to say that I have absolutely no idea why tiny Boonton needs TWO Thai restaurants within a couple blocks of each other, but hey, if competition keeps prices reasonable and keeps the cooks' creativity moving forward then I'm all for it.
So, last Friday my wife came home from work looking like she had a long week and I wanted to get her out of the house – I mentioned this "New Thai Place" in Boonton and she bit (we live in the next town over so it's a short drive). We park around the corner (parking in Boonton is always a bit of a PITA) and walk over to the restaurant…and I was shocked at how tiny the place was…I mean 7 (maybe) 4-top tables. I was also shocked by how great the aroma was wafting through the door as we got close…so I knew right away that it was going to be a great meal.
The only table available when we got there was right next to the door – so we took it, but after about 5 minutes another table opened up so we asked to move (it was pretty cold next to the door). The place is BYOB…and we did…so they brought us a couple glasses and we enjoyed some wine while reading the menu. You aren't going to be overwhelmed with a whole lot of fancy new Thai dishes as the menu was about the same as most of the other places I've been to in Northern Jersey, but you'll still be happy with the results.
We ordered Chicken Satay, Curry Puffs, and Tom Kha soup with chicken (medium spice) for appetizers and were NOT disappointed. The peanut sauce and the 'cucumber salad' dipping sauces were amazing…in fact, I could eat a bowl of the cucumber salad as an appetizer by itself it was so tasty. The Curry Puffs were a little small and I was intrigued by them being filled with potato, but they were really delicious. My Tom Kha soup was about the same as other local places…a little creamier maybe…and I should have gotten it just a touch spicier (I think they may be of the mindset that us Americans might not be able to handle a lot of Thai spice…and that's ok, better to under spice than over spice – I know for next time).
For our entrees my wife ordered the Red Curry with chicken (it's her 'go-to' dish) and I tried the Spicy Drunken Noodles with mixed seafood (also medium…but was a little spicier than the soup). The waitress brought me over a little bit of the hot sauce paste with my dish so I could add a little spice on my own…which was a nice touch. The Red Curry was as good as we've had it anywhere else in the area…so there were ZERO leftovers there…love it-practically licked the bowl. My Spicy Drunken Noodles…would be one of the reasons I would go back here today if I could. Absolutely delicious…great flavors and just enough heat to open up the sinuses a bit. The seafood was cooked well and wasn't chewy and they served a big enough portion that I was able to get a second meal out of it.
SO…why only 4 stars if the food was this great?!? Ok, the tables are kind of crammed in here and that table by the door just doesn't work for patrons when it's cold outside – MAYBE if they built out a double door it would keep the cold out. Our waitress was great, but they were pretty packed and the service was slow (not the waitress's fault, just too much to cook and not enough space behind the counter FOR the cooks). Took about 30 minutes from the time we sat to get our appetizer and almost another 30 for our entrée…that said, we were NOT in a hurry so it didn't bother me…but it might bother others and it will slow down the pace of moving people through the dinner service if they start to get really popular.
Honestly, an amazingly nice dinner with Wifey, the food was fabulous, and we had a great waitress. Why wouldn't I come back?!? I'd like to eat my way through this menu…
