*roti (these were deep fried and quite salty; the curry soup was rather thin and also salty; it was disappointing that there was no meat or potatoes in the soup; because the roti were already deep fried and oily, they didn't do a good job of absorbing the soup; definitely better at Malaysian places and would not recommend this one) *drunken noodles (not bad! I liked the flavor of the noodles and the amount of spice in it; veggies were crispy and fresh; there was a lot of chicken in there but overcooked; I wish the noodles were larger and not so cut up)
*lemongrass chicken (it was alright; the chicken was relatively dry and that banana dipping sauce was strange as a condiment; I'm used to that banana sauce for dipping lumpia not chicken haha. Perhaps if they served this chicken on a skillet with some juices it would be juicier and more flavorful)
*Thai iced tea (I actually liked this; thankfully not a powered form of it and you can taste the red tea flavor; not overly sweet with the milk but sweet enough)
*Monster roll (yum! it's a lightly fried roll with spicy tuna, avocado, seaweed salad and kani salad; this roll is quite large and could honestly be a meal in itself. Flavor is good despite how busy the plate looks)
This place is cute. I like the outdoor seating area. The service is good. Bathroom is awkwardly located directly across from the kitchen so please open the door slowly so you don't knock down anybody or any plate of food they're carrying. Food itself is ok. They are a little heavy-handed on salt. Overall, decent Thai spot but definitely have had better. Solid 3.5.
I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from this place based upon their name. There nothing about it that screams "Asian food" and usually anytime something is as "express" it means low quality.
I was pleasantly surprised, however that this is actually a decent restaurant. They have a pretty extensive menu of Asian dishes with a strong lean towards Japanese and Thai. I'm quite impartial to Thai food, so I went with the basil chicken, starting with a cup of the coconut soup.
The soup was pretty much as you would expect, a nice zip of flavor, and even though the menu indicates they will only do it with chicken or shrimp, they will do it with vegetables only if you ask, since I've never quite enjoyed chasing around strange pieces of chicken floating in my soup.
The entree was equally as well prepared. The large plate size was a little deceptive- when it first came out I thought it looked small, but as I dug in, I realized that it was actually a decent portion (and ended up having to take some of home with me). You don't normally expect to get real chicken breast at "express" places, but it was the real deal here. Not overly saucy, and not much grease at all. And no, they don't charge extra for rice.
My only complaint was that the seats near the windows can be quite drafty when the weather is cold, and it was downright uncomfortable when the temperature was 5 degrees outside. Four stars for that, the fact that you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the restroom, and because they don't have a liquor license.
Tom ka gai soup is a must, maybe the top 3 I've ever had.($4). The drunken noodles are a big thumbs up as well for the great flavor. Pad Thai was disappointing, not up to Thai standards but if you stick with the other 2 items you'll be happy.
Very casual place with nice staff and appropriate prices.
I previously had a pretty bad experience with sushi delivery here.
This time, I came in for dinner and tried the Thai portion of the menu. Better than the sushi but still, not great. Chicken satay was very dry. The seaweed wrap for the eel hand roll was too dried out. The crab wonton was the one item that stood out – pretty good. Had the vegetarian duck with string beans as my entree – eh. Faux meats are often lackluster but I have had way better mock duck before. Kudos for offering something other than tofu for the vegetarians though!
I added a star because I loved the ambiance here (very cozy and cute, played Christmas music, friendly servers).
Only ate here once so please take this review with a grain of salt. Ordered sushi and was delightfully pleased. Not the best sushi in jersey city, but it was still delicious. This is definitely a place to visit in the summer because of their outdoor seating. You walk into the restaurant which is small and nothing to fancy. Then you journey through their busy kitchen to enter upon the patio. The ambiance was very romantic with candles lit on the tables at night, a little water fountain to add to the very serene atmosphere, and lights hanging on the sides and the trees. It was completely full in the back, yet wasn't too loud or crowded. I believe the decor made the food taste even better haha. It definitely added to the entire experience. This place is BYO! Next time I return I am definitely trying their Thai specialities.
I came here over Labor Day weekend with a couple – I didnt think it'd be crowded, but there were a handful of other tables occupied at 530pm on Sunday night… good sign.
Everyone mentions crappy service, but I thought it was fine. Maybe we are just self-sufficient and chatted through the meal without pause?
We ordered edamame to start (cant really go wrong with that!): the girl in our group ordered green curry with chicken, and the guy and myself ordered drunken noodles (his with chicken and mine with tofu). My "fried tofu" was super soggy and chewy… I wish I had just gotten mixed vegetables or something. Also – the noodles were the wide pad-see-ew noodles: Im used to glass noodles in this dish.
I had medium spice added to mine and loved it (always better than bland!) – it wasnt a deep heat – more like someone poured chili flakes or something into it. Overall, loved the wok-char that you get, but glad I got it spicy to help with the blandness and gross tofu.
Its BYOB, so we brought a bottle of red wine along for the table and it was a little heavy with the meal but better than no alcohol (am-I-right…!?!)
Safe choice in the area for a quick bite, but there are definitely other asian fusion places in the area that offer equal food for a bit less in price,
****Disclaimer- have not actually eaten in More yet, have just ordered for delivery. However, it was fantastic delivery at that and I'm sure it's only a matter of time until I dine in and enjoy a little thai and BYOB action****
Hooooorah for More! I've been waiting for some quality Thai in the new hood and More is everything that I wanted…and more…and made me want more. Guess the name isn't too surprising.
The delivery was really speedy and our food came in under 30 minutes. I despise when delivery takes forever (lazy girls problems) so things were already off to a good start.
I went with my go-to's. I always do this when I'm trying a place out for the first time, just because I know it won't be worth a second try if they can't get my go-to right. Pretty sound logic, I know.
Curry puffs were A+. Okay, they only came with three. I've never had an order with less then five, I'll just throw it out there. However, what they lacked in quantity they made up for in quantity and I suppose that's fine. They were really puffy, thick dumplings filled with a delicious curry mixture (I have no idea what it actually is, but it's standout) and a tangy side of cucumber vinaigrette on the side.
Next up was the pad see ew. I was debating between pad see ew and pad thai, so next time I'll have to try the latter. It might be a tough decision again though, because after trying the pad see ew once it's all I ever want to eat again. For the rest of time. A perfect blend of noodles, chicken and broccoli with an ample amount of chicken. Often times Thai spots will serve a huuuuge portion that really just looks larger because of an abundance of noodles and a lack of meat. More's portion was a bit smaller but had more chicken in it which is definitely better in my book.
4 stars for you More!
We ordered delivery. It was fine.
That is about all I can say. it was by no means the best Thai food I've had, but certainly edible. The delivery was easy, fast, and friendly. The Basil Chicken was very spicy, which we like, but didn't really have much other flavor to compliment the chili. The Pad See Ew was cooked nicely, the noodles were tender but not over cooked, and the beef was well cooked, but the flavors just didn't have any real pop.
