We ordered lunch yesterday and the food was incredible. I have gone to a lot of Thai restaurants, but the food from here is honestly the best. Drunken noodles and vegetable red curry were sooooo good. The vegetables, including green beans, were fresh. I asked for the curry to be spicy (4 on a scale of 1 to 4) and they actually made it spicy enough (unlike other places) as we love spicy food. There were also no errors in the order as we asked for no eggs, no chicken. They made it perfectly as requested. Thank you! So delicious and we will be back again. The woman who answers the phone is also very nice. The food is also very affordable! Please never change your recipes!

Simple Thai restaurant, staffers weren't the fastest, but is a good lunch spot and people pick up food all the time for the office.

Only thing is it's a bit greasy.

Pad see ew with beef - about $16, $20 with tax & tip, eating in. You get a good amount, but not too large. A spring roll or small salad.

Convinently located on Rt 10. Vast selection of traditional Thai dishes. Friendly and attentive service and pretty fast food preparation.

Diner Review №7

This is a very nice spot to get lunch or dinner with friends. The service here is very very good and the food is also quite delicious. I got the pad see ew and my friends got the curry, and the pad Thai. All the dishes came out hot and steaming and were delectable. The waitress was constantly filling our water and we're very helpful in explaining the menu.

Diner Review №8

Horrible service. One of the dishes were too spicy for me and I asked to change it. Asian lady started yelling at our table in front of the whole resturaunt saying how is that my fault and now we have to pay for it. A simple no would have sufficed. She also has her kids running around the shop. Would not recommend going here. I got the pad thai which tasted like straight ketchup. Go to the other thai place in breck.

Diner Review №10

In town looking for Thai food and what a gem! The staff was amazing and at my request spoke with me only in Thai (I’m a former Thai linguist) which was really cool and introduced a work friend to a couple of my favorite dishes which were perfect and tasted authentic. Great experience, great food!

Diner Review №11

Like the chicken skews with peanut sauce. Very tender and full of flavor. Kids love them

Diner Review №12

Delicious food, attentive and knowledgeable staff in a zen-like atmosphere.

Diner Review №13

Summit Thai has been our go to Thai restaurant for many years! We've been to many other Thai restaurants and, almost every time, we end up concluding that it doesn't live up to Summit Thai. Their Tom Yum bisque is phenomenal! Our other go to dishes are Kee Mao with beef and Spicy Basil Fried Rice.

Diner Review №14

Diner Review №15

Food is very taste and well priced, especially the lunch menu. There are lots of options in terms of meals. I love to get one of the curries and eat it with rice. Highly recommend, there are vegetarian options and full meat options for those sorts of dietary restrictions.

Diner Review №16

Excellent food. Try the lunch special.

Diner Review №17

This is our go to Thai place. The experience is always pleasent. The food is flavorful and the spice level can be adjusted to your taste. The lunch specials are great and the service is extremely prompt. Our go to dishes are Kee Mao, red curry, holy basil and pad Thai.

Update:
I recently tried the holy basil with mock duck and it was excellent. Would highly recommend it

Diner Review №18

Me and my family love coming here to eat. Thank you to the staff and the owners for consistently serving food at such a high level of quality!

Diner Review №19

Best Basil Chicken wok in the area!

Diner Review №20

Never go here, we told them we are allergic to bell peppers but they put it in, we sent it back 4 times and they still kept putting it in. They finally got it right, but then meat got in the food even though we specifically told them we are vegetarian and ordered a meat free item.

Diner Review №21

I have a soy allergy, so going to this restaurant is a bit of a challenge. When I explained that I wanted to make sure the fried rice was soy free, the server kept repeating, "Yes, no soy, gluten free." When I tried to clarify, she brought over a different server, who also responded that the dish was, "gluten free" with quite an attitude. I did not want to make a scene, but I would not trust this place if you have food allergies.

Diner Review №23

Excellent food and great service. Duck is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit.

Great authentic Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №30

Diner Review №31

Good food & fast service!

Diner Review №32

Went there for lunch on a weekday. The place was not too busy and got seated quickly. The food was prepared quickly as well. The food was really good but the portion was just too small, almost like an appetizer.

Diner Review №33

We have several Thai places around where I live in Maplewood that are 10 minutes away but we go out of our way to go to Summit Thai, the food and service are always great; it's worth the drive. We love their Maple Street dish, along with the pad thai and red curry.

Diner Review №34

Had delivery. Food is always excellent.

Diner Review №35

Small portions, unremarkable food. 4 frozen shrimp with tail buried in rice .

Diner Review №36

Great food!!

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Best Thai food I have had. Great service as well. The spicy sauce is actually spicy! I wish I can come everyday for lunch and dinner

Edit: 5 years later and this is still my number 1 Thai spot. I have been to over 40 thai spots in NJ and Summit Thai is number 1. The flavor and presentation with the food is unique and actually flavorful. Other restaurants are good, but summit thai's flavor is always very distinguished. The spice continues to blow my mind, and the dish I get is always served 10/10. The service is fantastic and very friendly. Have deff eaten lunch and dinner from here multiple days out of the week

Diner Review №39

After a weekend at camp! Only eating BBQ this place couldn’t serve us any better! Everything was filled with wonderful mouth watering flavors. I have recently moved and this place will be my new go to Thai place!

Diner Review №40

The food is delicious, and I must try mock duck with drunken noodles, green curry, Spring Rolls, Pinapple fried rice if you are vegetarian. Staff is friendly and always accommodates the special requests of being vegan or with no fish sauce or any other dietary restrictions.

Diner Review №43

Busy Saturday night. Long wait for service. They were understaffed and had a lot of take out orders to fulfill. Got the whole fried fish it was listed as market price. I should have asked, it was 48 dollars. I think for red snapper that is a little bit overpriced, pandemic prices or not. Wife had salmon curry which was rich and tasty. I would not get a fried fish again but would come back for take out.

Diner Review №44

Spacious high ceiling vibrant color, a very cheerful setting. Thai authentic cuisine spicy food that I love.

I love coming here for Drunken Noodle when I crave it. Tonight, I came in with my daughter and husband and the waitress was so very kind. She was interactive with my daughter who was also eating from our plates and even brought a piece of Watermelon for her, The food was amazing, service was amazing. I highly recommend Summit Thai. I've never had an issue and I need to come by or order more often 🥰

Diner Review №51

The Pad See Ew at this place is the best Thai dish I’ve ever had! So so good!!!

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

Summit Thai is amazing! The servers are so kind and are extremely helpful! The Pad Thai, Red Curry, Green Curry, and Red Snapper are delicious! Overall, it is a great restaurant and I love going there!

Diner Review №54

The food was great. The atmosphere was pleasing. The staff was nice, friendly.

Diner Review №55

I’ve been going for years and it has always been very good food!

Diner Review №56

Best Thai food in Northern New Jersey. They have amazing spring rolls and Pad Thai with their tofu or mong duck. Recently had the mango salad which makes an amazing summer appetizer.

East Hanover on Rt. 10 West!!
This is the best Thai place in town.
Go for anything with their yummy Penang curry and holy basis sauce! Staff is super nice and whether you Dine-in or Take Out/Delivered the food is always amazingly delicious!
Thanks Pat for your smile and friendly service!

Diner Review №65

Delicious pad Thai and drunken noodles. Great portion sizes!

Diner Review №66

I recently visited this restaurant with a a friend for lunch and unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. The attendants were rushing around the tables, taking away plates without asking if we were finished with our meal. We felt like we were being hurried out of the restaurant, even though we were not finished with our meal.

To make matters worse, the attendants gave us our checks without asking if we wanted to order any more food or drinks, and seemed to be in a hurry to get us out of the restaurant. This was very rude and unprofessional, and left a bad taste in our mouths.

Overall, I felt like the attendants did not value us as customers and did not care about our experience. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a leisurely meal with good service, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Overpriced.

Diner Review №70

Nice decor and very tasty food. My choo chee curry had the right balance of bold, savory, and spicy. The food was on the expensive side, taking into account the serving sizes.

Diner Review №71

We get the pad thai from here and think it is best pad thai in our area (especially the tofu one). The lunch specials are definitely a great deal because it comes with an extra side. This restaurant is on DoorDash so very convenient to get delivery!

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Great service and tasty food.

Diner Review №75

Pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary!

Diner Review №76

Food was good. Most of the time the flavors are consistent. Will go again for sure.

Diner Review №77

Always delicious at Summit Thai. The waitress was very friendly. The food was excellent!

Diner Review №78

一般般

Diner Review №79

Outstanding and consistent comes to mind when I go to Summit Thai. Today I went after a long time and I wasn’t disappointed. Tom Yum soup with shrimp too good, Vege spring roll and Cashew nut mixed vegetables with brown rice. Every single dish was better than he other but Tom Yum was superb. Definitely try Summit Thai. I highly recommend.

Diner Review №80

Best Thai food!!! Great customer service. Been here 10x and always left with a smile 😃. Thanks summit thai for the great food. Spice level is perfect. Drunken noodles with veg duck is a must if your vegetarian. Red curry spice level 4 is amazing.

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

Not a authentic Thai food joint, but another Chinese fusion food restaurant.
Food is okay with reasonable price.
Not much of customer service available.

Diner Review №84

Tried this restaurant a few weeks ago and it was a good experience. Great server who was friendly and funny. Food was delicious. No frills decor but I’d go back for the good food and service. Reasonably priced.

Diner Review №85

I called them before I came, they said we can come before 8:30 and when I arrived at 8:20 pm, They said the kitchen closed at 8:15 and they don't take us while we have to drive 30 mins to come there. I won't come here anymore. Bad service.

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

Good food and service. More popular with takeouts than dining in. Restaurant ambience could be improved by getting a air purifier to get rid of shake air and remove the handwritten posts on the walls.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Spicy Drunken Noodles # 3 spice level is the best! Best Pad Thai ever!

Diner Review №91

This is my regular go-to Thai place in the area. The food is simply amazing no words would do justice. I am a big Thai food fan but never found any place as good as this. I have tried different dishes here and never had any disappointment. They have good veg options too. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures as I can never wait to take a picture I simply dive in. A must try for genuine good Thai spot.

Diner Review №92

Great lunch spot. Food comes out pretty quick, food always good!

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Food was OK but there was a giant hair in the rice.

Diner Review №95

Delicious Thai Food!

Diner Review №96

Came for dinner with the wifey and definitely coming back again. We tried the Thai iced tea and tom yum soup with shrimps and the fried chicken dumplings for starters. Followed by holy basil with beef (most recommended) and the red curry with chicken and we tried the drunken noodles as well since most reviews spoke highly of those. We definitely ordered a bit too much but didn't mind the leftovers for lunch next day.

Diner Review №97

One of the best Thai restaurants in North Jersey. Not a fancy restaurant but food never disappoints and service is always great.

Diner Review №98

Always love this place! Since we get authentic food.

Diner Review №99

Came for lunch right when they opened so no other customers were here. Had the place all to ourselves 😃

We come down to shop at Kam Man and we usually eat in the market but they no longer offer the lunch special. Then we usually would just walk over to Penang but decided to try something else today.

I've seen Summit Thai as we drive in many times. It's about half a mile away from Kam Man so we drove over to check it out. Glad we did!

We ordered hot tea and Thai iced tea.

Hubby ordered Beef Massaman Curry. The potatoes in this dish was a little undercooked the chef came out and was very apologetic. He made a new order of the potatoes, and this time it was perfect.

I ordered the Duck Nam Jim. This is crispy duck with a cilantro sauce. I've been to many Thai places but this is by far the best duck dish ever. The 🦆 was super crispy and the sauce was amazing, I'm definitely coming back to have this again!

Next time we're in the area definitely coming by.

I had one of the lunch specials, it was very tasty and fresh. The waitress served the food quickly, and did a good job. I liked the decor, dining room was clean.

Diner Review №103

Tom Yum was excellent. Tangy duck not tangy nor that good. Basil fish too oily.
Nice place, good server.

Diner Review №104

Yummy. Red curry is on of my favs

Diner Review №105

I love this place, my only Thai place. Get the Whole red snapper..Drunken noodle is the best ever.

Diner Review №106

Really good dinner. Thanks for the meal!

Came here at about 7:45pm on a Tuesday in August. Location of this spot is an unassuming strip mall....it's not hard to miss if you aren't paying attention when driving by!

Summit Thai was moderately busy....7-8 tables already seated, but with a few open so I was able to sit right away. I ordered the Pad Thai with tofu, pineapple fried rice, and some Thai iced tea.

Drinks came out fast, but the speed of the food was particularly impressive - couldn't have been more than 5 minutes from the time I ordered before the food was in front of me.

The pineapple fried rice was the star of the show in my opinion. Hot, moist, flavorful, and fresh. Pad Thai was good; I would have liked a few more hunks of tofu. Iced tea was ok....good flavor, but seemed pretty watered down. I might have just gotten the start of the pot.

Overall, very happy with my food and the service experience. I would definitely eat here again.

Diner Review №107

Small quantity for 25$ added brown rice and was given only this size. Chicken curry was a little bit larger then this container. They use to give enough but this is ridiculous. No longer a loyal customer.

Diner Review №108

Delicious food!

Diner Review №109

Possibly the best Thai cuisine in the northeast!!!

Diner Review №110

Quick, reliable and friendly. Most importantly delicious!

Diner Review №111

Awesome service ! Kee mao was delicious

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

I tried the Pad Thai, and love it so much that we went back for dinner again the next night. One of the best Thai food.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Delicious food. Great service.

Diner Review №117

Nice experience. Pleasant staff.

Diner Review №118

My friend had been raving about this place and I was finally able to try it out. Was very much worth the hype! We got the fried and steamed dumplings, fried shrimp wrapped in pastry, calamari, see-ew (flat noodle with onions and broccoli) got it with all three proteins, fried cheesecake and ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious and came out freshly made. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №119

Great food and fast service. Best chicken pad Thai in the area! Chicken Rama was also very good.

Diner Review №120

Ordered 3 lunch disks. Food taste very bad: oily, salty, and unhealthy. Made me sick for few days. Never come back again.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

It's our favorite place to eat authentic Thai.The quality and taste is consistent and service was excellent.The hostess is always very friendly and helped select the menu. Will highly recommend this place!!

Diner Review №123

Good.. But expensive

Diner Review №124

Great curry. I was scraping the remnants off my plate with the serving spoon. Get the drunken noodles spicy…gives you a firm kick on a cold night. Very clean restaurant. Kind and polite staff. Will return.

Diner Review №125

Ordered carryout a few times here during lunch. Overall, the food has been tasty here especially the pineapple fried rice and red curry chicken. One star less as beware if you are super allergic to msg so ask them about it. Also the amount of food received in takeout is small compared to other restaurants in the area.

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

The food is alright and decently priced.

The reason they got 2 stars is because the guy at the front desk was clipping his nails when 3 parties of diners were dining in. Dude, seriously?

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

Reasonably good but too expensive not worth the price. Mango- Sticky rice didn’t seem authentic - it was greenish in color.

Diner Review №130

Love this place. Come here often.

Diner Review №131

Great food, very nice and friendly! Especially Pat👍

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №135

Good Food and Good Service

Diner Review №136

Excellent food and great service .. drunken noodles is the best

Food very good. Fairly priced, nice portions. Good service.
We love the sweet and sour soup.
We also got the calamari and chicken dumplings (they were great, tasted like a little old lady hand rolled them in the kitchen)
For our meals, pad thai (my sister enjoyed)
Chicken with cashews and veggies,
And eggplant with veggies and shrimp. All was very delicious.

Diner Review №178

Great food and service

Diner Review №179

This is some of the best local Thai food available. I had the drunken noodle and the flavor profile of basil and peppers was delicious. Would definitely try again.

Diner Review №180

Very good

Diner Review №181

If you like Thai food, this is a good place. Food is good and so are the prices and service. My only recommendation is that their coffee needs to be improved. I am a regular customer and have no reservations about recommending them.

Diner Review №182

Food was excellent. The red curry was too good!!!

Diner Review №185

Diner Review №187

This was truly terrible Thai food. Pad Thai was inedible. Holy basil tasted like mediocre Chinese food. The quality of the chicken in the dishes was very poor. Stay away.

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

Consistently excellent. Love the Beef Green Curry.

Diner Review №190

Diner Review №191

Diner Review №192

I always order the chicken pad thai and currys (red curry or green curry). Their food is so consistently delicious and its my go-to dinner spot. Their thai ice tea is also amazing!

Diner Review №193

I have been to this place before and really liked it so was happy when my client chose this place to eat. When I walked in to pick up the food, the ambiance is nice and welcoming. I liked how they decorated the place. It was dimly lit and it went well with how it was decorated. The server had my order ready and the price was reasonable. I ordered the vegetable drunken noodle with no egg and it was sooo good. The food here is a must try.

Diner Review №194

Good spot to stop for some quick Thai food. Better than other local Thai spots
