Hoboken has 4 Thai restaurants (not counting multi-cuisine restaurants that offer Thai food). This is my least favorite of them all. The other three places all have something to offer and I simply do not know what this place has to offer. The food tastes like poorly made Americanized Chinese takeout. The price point is a bit ridiculous for what it's worth. Please take your food up a notch – you're competing with a ton of restaurants and you're not the only option.
I decided to eat here despite low yelp rating but that was obviously a mistake on my end. Save your money – go to the other 3 Thai places or go to Hi-So Thai in Weehawken.
Hubs and I have loved "all you can eat" sushi deals since our days in Manhattan. We checked this spot out after seeing a sign they recently put out and were very pleased. For one, the place is BYOB which is great. Secondly, the deal isn't just limited to Sushi. It includes appetizers, soups, salads and ice cream as well as a couple of Thai dishes – so come hungry! We spilt edamame, veggie dumplings and 6 different rolls. We also each had Ice cream. For $24.95 for dinner and $17.95 for lunch, you can't beat the price. Last time I ordered 2 rolls in Hoboken, the cost was nearly $40 for two rolls and an app. We'll be back soon!
The shrimp skewers were tough, the Vegetable Tofu soup was Ok, the mixed Seafood salad is way way way way way way way way overpriced with one shrimp, a muscle, 3 pieces of conch, two calamari, a few cucumber slices, some shaved carrots, peanuts, and a whole lotta lettuce. The food was also very bland. Asian cuisine is a tough market in Hoboken, but I would really not try hear again.
Below par. Although the interior looks like a genuine Thai restaurant with a chef straight from Bangkok , I strongly believe the microwave is fixing the dishes. I ordered the gold standard for determining a Thai restaurants quality: pad Thai and thom ka gai. The soup was watery and flavorless and I couldn't finish it. The pad Thai was fried noodles with sauce poured on top prior to serving and the chicken was bland . On the other hand , the service was great. But I wouldn't return.
My very first one star rating: do yourself a favor and think twice before ordering here.
I ordered over $70 worth of food via Seamless at 7:25pm last night, with an estimated delivery time of 30-40 minutes. I always take these times with a grain of salt as they always seem to be a bit late. However, I got a text message notification from Seamless 3 minutes later confirming that my order was being prepared, so I tried to have a little faith. An hour later, we still had not received our food, and I was worried that they might have gotten to our place and called us but we have bad cell service. So I gave the restaurant a call.
After a few tones, a girl picked up and immediately put me on hold. Having worked at a restaurant before, this didn't bother me – we would have two phone lines going to take orders, and sometimes we'd have to put people on hold to finish another call. What did bother me was that I was put on hold for 5 minutes straight as I heard her in the background picking up multiple calls and finishing all of them before responding to me. She had clearly forgotten about my line. When she finally picked up the phone again after my yelling into the line so she could hear me, she said "yes sorry, what's your issue?" Rude. I explained to her that she had put me on hold for a long period of time and that I just wanted to know when my food would be coming. She said, "I asked for your phone number before (to look up my order) and you didn't tell me." No, lady, you didn't. I told her that that was definitely someone else, it wasn't me she asked. So she quickly and very impolitely responded, "Okay, fine, what's your number?" Not wanting to have to deal with her anymore, I just gave her my number and, after a bit of rustling, she said our order was on its way. Which was a blatant lie as our food was warm when we got it…TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER.
Anyway, we waited a while and still no food. We then tried calling again… And again… And again. And so forth. The second time we called, we were put on hold and then the line seemed to have disconnected after a minute or so. We thought it was our cell service. The third time we called, we were put on hold again, and then after a couple minutes, the line disconnected again…but after a distinct clanking of the phone on the other end. They hung up on us!
Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt while my boyfriend was extremely angry, I thought maybe they couldn't hear us talking on our end due to the bad service so they hung up. But no. We called them multiple times again after that, leaving the apartment to go onto the street for good service, and it happened again and again. We finally got ahold of someone on the other end around 9:30pm and were told that our order would be delivered in 15-20 minutes and they would give us a discount. Another blatant lie.
…what kind of discount? How could they possibly give us a discount when we already paid through Seamless??? AND TIPPED THEM.
When the delivery guy finally got to our place at 10pm, we were literally standing outside waiting. He was just like, "Sorry, we're very busy." I get it, dude – restaurants are really busy, I've been there. At least he gave a smile and was friendly. Unlike the ridiculously rude girl on the phone. Who was working at 8:30pm on Sunday, June 5th if her boss would so graciously like to help the world out by sitting her down and teaching her how to speak to not just customers, but to PEOPLE. Incredible.
It's rare that I won't give a place a second chance, but I am never getting food at PC Casual Thai, or Casual Thai (so you know both names), ever again. I ordered Pork Pad Thai and Calamari – it wasn't even good. The flavor of the Pad Thai wasn't good. The noodles were also all chopped up and mushy. And the calamari was dark-colored and tough – definitely refried and overcooked. My stomach hurt after eating…although I'm not sure if it's because their food was bad or I was so bitter to be even be eating their food in the first place.
This place is hit or miss but usually a miss. I've done pick up and delivery from here when I have been craving Thai food. First time was okay, the food was decent and they delivered it fairly quickly.
I ordered the pad Thai, and a curry dish the second time I ordered from here. The curry dish was vegetable when I asked for chicken on my online order. The pad Thai was so
Bland and had no sauce. It was essentially
Cooked noodles with some crushed peanut on top. Disgusting. It was also delivered after 1.5 hours when the delivery time was set between 35-45 minutes.
I called twice about the order and they had told me it would be any minute. Needless to say it was a half hour later. I would definitely recommend going elsewhere based on the food and the service.
I liked this place for big group BYOB dinners before because it was rarely hard to get seated. My normal go to is chicken in peanut sauce. so good! Note: I like eating it in the restaurant, not so much for delivery.
I was quite intrigued when I saw their banner advertising all you can eat sushi. – Sushi at a Thai place? Anyways I was able to try it for lunch on MLK weekend.
One weird thing that that I had noon reservations on Sunday, but the restaurant was still closed/locked at noon. It wasn't until 12:15 or so that the front door was open, but it didn't seem like anything was ready. They were still setting up the place for the day and the sushi bar wasn't stocked yet. If a restaurant opens at a specific time, I would hope they would be ready for service at said time. Anyways, I couldn't let that bother me, and patiently waited for the staff to be ready while sipping on the BYO wine.
Like I said we came for the AYCE deal and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu. For the AYCE deal, they offer standard maki rolls (no sashimi or sushi here), but they also offer soups (miso, tom yum, etc), kitchen appetizers (age tofu, fried ika [calamari], etc), sushi appetizers (triple delight) and noodle / teriyaki dishes as well. We got a few soups, appetizers, and rolls to share with the table. Service was pretty fast and couldn't complain about the sushi at all. Fish was fresh and the rolls were standard – so not "to die for" sushi, but it was definitely good enough. The Triple Delight sushi appetizer was really good, but I'm a sucker for the crunchies.
While we passed on dessert, they include an ice cream scoop with the AYCE deal. Note – they have a bigger selection of rolls for the dinner service. To note AYCE lunch is $18 / AYCE dinner is $22, so pick your meal wisely – you have more options at dinner.
Came here with my friend from high school. Walked into a hip Thai restaurant with a small but clean sushi bar near the entrance. The music made us feel like we were in a lounge, popular American music. The place is nicely decorated with Thai art work and Buddha pieces. A very cool place to eat.
We ordered from their lunch special menu. Friend got chicken pad thai with vegetable soup and I got the tofu pad ki mou with salad. The vegetable soup had carrots, scallions, and bamboo shoots, very clean and healthy tasting; it was good. The salad was fresh and crisp with romaine lettuce, red onions, tomato, carrots, pineapple, and peanut sauce; also good.
The pad thai was good but on the sweeter side, it was in a brown sauce with eggs, scallions, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and a wedge of lime. The pad ki mou came with fresh vegetables (broccoli, eggplant, green pepper, onion, carrot, and string bean), basil, and was spicy. Hot sauce was good.
Food and service was good here. Prices are reasonable and place is clean. I would definitely come back!
