This place is tucked away through a hallway but it's pretty darn good.
I got the pad thai and asked for it to come with vegetables. Also, when I asked if they could make it spicy, they ask you from a level of one to five, how spicy? I chose three, which was perfect.
My friends had chosen four for theirs and it came with jalapenos then and they weren't too bad for my spice level (warning you, I love my spice while others think I've got the mouth of a dragon for what I can put up with).
For appetizer, I got the summer roll with vegetables, which was really refreshing especially for the warm weather we were having.
For dessert, I chose the tartufo, which isn't "traditional" Thai cuisine but it was what I needed after the meal. It was a bit on the frozen side but hit the spot.
The waitress was really nice also and attentive (it helped that the place was empty that day actually).
The bathroom is also through a door and down the hallway a bit, which was a bit odd but just the way it's set up.
I highly recommend this place and remember: it's BYOB! So bring your own booze!
Summit Thai is the in-town spot for my wife and I, and they have not failed. Whether it's delivery or eating in, their service is consistently good with a solid meal to go along with it!
Their dumplings are delicious – warm and soft on the exterior, and then a bit of kick and a soft interior. Mixed with their ginger dipping sauce, it's a TREAT.
I'm a huge Pad Thai guy, and every Thai place I go to must serve me their best plate of it. I never stray from this dish, as cliché as it is. Summit Thai's Pad Thai is pretty good, but NOT the best. It's not as peanut-flavored as I like, so if you're looking for that, they do lack that. However, the flavor is pretty good, as well as the noodle and meat quality. Also, no spice in their Pad Thai – bit of a bummer.
The price for their meals, as well as their quality of food, gives it that 4/5 ranking. If you're in town and want some pretty decent Thai, check them out.
This is third Thai restaurant I've dined at in NJ and sadly another disappointment. Rice was so old I had to send it back. It tasted like it was made the day before, didn't finish and so they thought, "what the heck, serve it up again tonight." Mushy,like porridge without the broth. Texture and taste were off.
Second batch was better, but a bit on the dry side.
The pad thai was decent, though the noodles were overcooked by a few minutes. They were tending towards mush but overall eatable.
The Masaman chicken and the curry beef were both on the sweet side, not enough acid to cut through the sweetness of the coconut milk and underseasoned. Barely tasted the lemongrass.
The best thing I had was the duck. If I went back, and that's a big if, that was almost really good. The sauce was seasoned well but had a soy sauce taste that surprised me because I don't think I've had that flavor in a dish before in a Thai joint. Almost tasted like American Chinese food.
The wait staff I have to say was attentive and the complimentary ginger tea was good. Pungent, in a good way. Very gingery but liked it with a nice balance of sweetness that wasn't overly sweet like the chai teas most of these places serve.
A few tweaking of the seasoning and adding more acid like lemons and vinegars could make this place much better.
They give us RAW PORK when we dined there three nights ago. I am still so grossed out by it. Their fried fish is also a major disappointment. Overcooked fish with not too much flavor.
I also can't believe that they still charge us for the pork (they did give us a different dish) and also discount whatsoever. I call that poor management and poor service.
This review is for takeout.
Food was packed well and tasted good. I enjoyed it — got the drunken noodles and it came with a salad and some dumplings which was nice.
Small restaurant that's tucked away a bit. Went for dinner with two friends and we found we had to speak in hushed tones to avoid disturbing the other diners. Food was solid but not mind blowing, my pad see ewe could have been warmer. Their Thai tea runs on the sweet side. Would consider possibly returning for lunch here, but overall, i'm ambivalent about this place.
A large group of us came here for a friends birthday. I have to admit they were super accommodating, but the fact that the place was almost empty at 7:00 on a Friday night should have been our first warning.
The service was good, they were all very sweet. The appetizers came out fast and I don't think there were any complaints there – calamari was great, as were the spring rolls. This is pretty much where the positives stop.
The entrees came out very very staggered from one and other. I sat with my curry in front of me for a good 20 minutes until my friends across from me got their meals. Honestly this is one service error that isn't ok with me, I don't want to eat while everyone else isn't and by the time I could eat my curry was pretty cold.
The food that was edible was OK – I have definitely had much better curry and the food was all in all underwhelming. The big problem though was with the seafood – one persons shrimp were just plain not cooked, I mean purple and raw. Another seafood dish came out with all of the mussels closed and smelling rancid. They were nice and apologized and took them off the bill but we still left with a bad taste in our mouths (no pun intended).
One big plus – they really go all out for birthdays. They all sung to her and the lights flickered like a dance club while playing music. Maybe we just had a poor experience, or maybe this place isn't meant for big groups, I don't know.
