Diner Review №1

Service was really good and the lady at the register was very nice and polite but the quality of food is way too bad there. I ordered a pad see ew which was $17 but the portion was too small and it didn’t even taste like a regular pad see ew which you can find at almost any thai place. It also tasted like it was burned.

Diner Review №2

Omg, my first time ordering from this restaurant and all I can say is WOW! I had the FR3 Pad Keep Mao drunken noodles with chicken, and it was freaking amazing. My heart is content. Passion Fruit Bubble Tea was awesome.

Diner Review №3

The food was just not up to any restaurant standards

The rice was old and hard. The sauces tasted like ketchup.

Have to do better

Diner Review №4

This restaurant has become our family’s absolute favorite! The staff are incredibly kind, and every single dish is just bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming—it’s the perfect spot for family gatherings or catching up with friends. We’ve tried different dishes every time we’ve visited, and they never disappoint. Highly, highly recommend! Once you visit, you’ll see why we’re head over heels for this place!

Diner Review №5

We had ordered 3 noodle dishes and it took an hour to get our food. Vegetables pieces were too big and portions were pretty small. Definitely not going back.

Diner Review №6

Amazing place, the red curry was fantastic. The owners were so sweet and the service was great. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №7

I purchased takeout today on the fly. It’s New Year’s Eve and I believe that good food and good ingredients help to bring in a prosperous New Year. I ordered the duck, tofu and basil sauce and red curry. The flavors took me back to Thailand. No exaggeration the flavors were amazing and my husband didn’t stop until it was gone. He kept asking where did you get this from in Manhattan😆. We will be back soon from Fort Lee. I can’t wait to try new dishes.

Diner Review №8

This is a fantastic place to get a variety of authentic Thai food. The dishes are absolutely delicious. The service is great and the waiters are friendly and accommodating. I would come back any day and recommend the restaurant without any hesitation.

Diner Review №9

Very authentic Thai foods. Tried many from menu and every dish was great and awesome. The very best Thai restaurant in Bergen county. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №10

A little pricey because of it being an actual restaurant not a fast food spot, but food is pretty good.

Diner Review №11

Diner Review №12

One of my favorite Thai restaurants. The food is yummy & the staff is friendly and helpful. Love the chicken curry puffs, the veggie tofu soup, & all the entrees I've tried.

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Barely any flavor or noodles. Just paid over 20 dollars for plain noodles and plain soup. Unpredictable when it’s good or bad. Think twice before ordering

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

Red curry was okay but they put so little meat and veggies in it, nearly half what other Thai restaurants serve. Pad see ew noodles were soggy and salty. Portions are small. Order took a while to serve. Kinda disappointing.

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

We went for lunch and loved the food so much. The server was excellent and attentive as well. I will be going again soon! Give them a try. You won't regret it.

Diner Review №20

I don’t like leaving negative reviews however this is the fourth (4th) time I’m experiencing an issue. I’ve been coming to khao thai cuisine for over a year now, for lunch, pretty consistently because I work in the area. I’m a person of habit so I only order the drunken noodle. Usually it’s amazing. Flavorful, a good blend of ingredients and the amount of veggies and meat were always acceptable. I even recommend this place to others pretty often.
Unfortunately, the last four times in a row that I have ordered, the portion size was noticeably smaller and there was significantly less meat in the meal. The third time it happened I felt I had to bring it to their attention because it was a fast and drastic change. They offered a refund and a free meal for my next visit. They confirmed there was a change in management. I went for my free meal and things were as usual. I wanted to give them another chance being that they tried to make it right. Today, however, it’s back to very little meat.
Sad to say they’ve lost me as a customer.

Service was slow, many items on the menu were not available, food wasn’t tasty and pictures of food looks better than actuality. Thexsteamed dumplings were good

Diner Review №27

They must have changed their chef. I have been a loyal customer to this restaurant but the food is not as good as before. The drunken noodle is too watery. And the minced pork over rice is not flavorful. Sad…

Diner Review №28

I did order basil fry rice , is is so good flavor !!!

Diner Review №29

The service is great and the food is FABULOUS. The texture, flavor, and presentation were excellent. I’d recommend the chicken noodle soup.

Diner Review №30

First time picking up food from the restaurant . I usually get tai food from Bergenfield , but they are close on Tuesday , I decide to try this place ( everything looks so good on the picture menu ( but in person , there’s no flavor . Plus the lady messed up the order . Yes gave me two orders of off muddles ( than my son has to go back to pick up the chicken ( does no taste like tie food at all , . Very disappointed. At the end of the road my family ends up , starving 😢.the only two things we like a little were the vegetable rolls ( but to small )and the tiny soup. That’s all we ate . Sorry I don’t usually give a review. But come on guys , if you decides to open a restaurant is because you have the cooking gift .

Diner Review №31

Nice Restaurant. Nice Service , Good Prices. However the food was Not flavorful.

Diner Review №32

Ordered drunken noodles, whatever they tave us was watery and NOT drunken noodles

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №38

They waited until I arrived at the location and asked for my order to tell me that they canceled the order, THEN (while i’m standing there confused as to why they didn’t communicate this beforehand) the girl set the front sends me the message saying my order is canceled. She then laughs and tells me they were “too busy.” Next tiem, send the cancellation message when you actually cancel it. Horrible service.

Diner Review №39

The drunken udon was so tasty at spicy level 3. I've ordered food from here a few times and they're consistently very good

Diner Review №40

Food was inedible.
Atmosphere is cold and unfriendly.
Was hoping for a cozy place and delicious thai... but not this time or this place.
:-(

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Delicious food!

Diner Review №43

delicious duck soup and fried shrimp. thai iced tea was good too. i will return and try more things on the menu

Diner Review №44

Best pineapple fried rice! They season it with curry and have little bits of raisin and it’s so good!! Drunken noodle is spicier than you’d expect but really good! Server I got during lunch on Friday was super sweet and fast

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

Food was one of the best ever. Good quality and worth the price. Love the Thai Iced Tea, not too sweet. Spicy glass noodle salad is a must.

I've been here twice.
Got different server each time.
Both of them wasn't really attentive.
Hard to get their attention even it's not busy. Might consider just a take out next time so I don't have to waste money on tips when I barely get a service.

Diner Review №48

Friendly waitress, bad food. Pad Thai was super sweet and very soggy, grilled beef was poor quality.

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

La atención es muy buena

Diner Review №51

Perhaps the most ridiculous take out quantity I’ve seen for a Thai restaurant and Thai restaurants are notorious for their stinginess

Should have not ordered after seeing how empty this place was

Diner Review №52

Everything is delicious! We ordered the:
•yellow curry with chicken
•red curry with crispy duck
•crispy duck
•ka-praow (minced pork with fried egg + rice)
•thai iced tea 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №57

I just ordered to go cashew nut dish with grilled chicken medium spicy! The food I received is tasteless, no grilled chicken, no spicy, but they made sure to fill out the box with onions and chives!! I don’t know how about these reviews! I it was waste of &18,00 everything went to garbage, I hate throwing food but I could not eat it!! Nothing close to Chicken cashew nut with vegetables. I don’t know how they even made it. Terrible.

Diner Review №58

We love this place! We actually don't go to any other Thai place except this place. We love their calamari and Thai taco. Today, we had their yellow curry, fried chive dumpling, and Tom yum fried rice. Right amount of spice and soooo much flavor. BYOB as well so that's a plus for us. There's a nearby liquor store if you need to grab alcohol. Great service (super attentive) and friendly staff!

Diner Review №59

The new owners are great people, extremely friendly, and very authentic. I’ve been to other Thai places that I thought were great and Khao Thai blew them out the water. It was a soft opening and they were really prepared. The fact that the food was so good and I was there on the first day open really speaks to their experience. Everything was on point. My wife is extremely picky and still enjoyed the food. The portions are huge so I ended up over-ordering but I learned for the next time. I had chicken curry puffs and chicken Satay as appetizers and bbq beef, pineapple fried rice with chicken and basil fried rice with pork as main courses. To drink I had Lychee Iced Tea and the Thai Iced tea and both were phenomenal.Everything was great and I can’t wait to go back and try the rest. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great authentic Thai food. The owner had a place in NYC prior to this so you can expect to get top notch Thai. Best of luck Khao Thai!!

Diner Review №61

Always come here when I want good food! It’s actually incredible and the taste is out of this world. When I want to just sit down and enjoy something good, this is the place!!

Diner Review №62

Awesome food and staff is amazing! The Khao soi beef and drunken noodles are top notch and portion sizes are huge!

Diner Review №63

I had such a terrible experience at this establishment. The service was terrible, the food took over an hour, we waited over 30 minutes for a single appetizer. A table next to us came after we ordered, got their food, ate it, paid and I was still waiting for my food. The restaurant wasn’t that busy.

Diner Review №64

My first time here and unfortunately I had a bad experience. No place is perfect but the restaurant is not full and the appetizer came after 30 mins and we kept getting wrong food sent to our table. One main came after 45 mins, we cancelled one because of a misunderstanding, and waited for an hour for a beef soup. My plate was more than 90% finished when the soup arrived. And, we placed our orders at the same time. Sorry but I will not be coming back.

Diner Review №65

Came here for lunch and had one of the best pad Thai noodles ever! The portions were great, the mock duck was delicious as well :)

Diner Review №66

Besides the food, Amy you're the best highly recommend this delicious restaurant

Diner Review №67

Food is unbelievably tasty! We were in the area and sat down for lunch. Ended up re-ordering to take out home! Definitely recommending it!

Diner Review №68

Service, food, and atmosphere are always on point.

Diner Review №69

So good! We had the tamarind duck and tom yum fried rice. The duck was very crispy, the sauce was savoury, vegetables cooked just right. Tom yum fried rice was perfect, great to pair with the duck but good on its own too. This place just hits the spot!

Diner Review №70

Diner Review №71

Very tasty!! I love the pad thai and beef noodle soup!! :)

Diner Review №72

Great menu and excellent food. Multiple vegetarian and vegan options.

Diner Review №73

Great good. Great service.

Diner Review №74

Some of the best Thai food I've had. Period. And definitely try the mock duck. It's basically a better version of the tofu. It's a little firmer and looks and feels meatier.

Diner Review №75

This is not Thai food. Half the menu is a variation of Chinese takeout (which is also not Chinese food). Pad Thai is the last thing one should not get wrong, but this one did. It was tasteless. The ingredients were cheap. The Thai iced tea was from a mix. Not worth it. Much better Thai restaurants elsewhere.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

Really great Thai food. I had the Khao Thai noodles which were great and my wife had the crispy duck. Really kind staff and a great eating experience.

Diner Review №78

The food was great and authentic! Best thai food I've had. I wanted to deduct points because the service was bad. They never checked on us and brought half the food out at one point and then the remaining 15 mins later. But the food was that good so technically 4.5/5

Diner Review №79

good food! and friendly staff =)

Diner Review №80

One of the best Thai food in bergen County. Really recommended.

Diner Review №81

Great Thai food. Papaya salad and the Drunken noodle were excellent. Have been here twice. Parking is easy on the street or the municipal lot in the back.

Diner Review №82

どれも美味かった!
Pad Thai, Tom Yum Koongが特に。
デザートで初めて食べたMango with sweet sticky riceが、おはぎみたいで美味しかった。

Diner Review №83

Friend brought me here bc she said she had the best Thai dish here. We came here during lunch. Casual dining. The waitress was very friendly. I ordered Drunken Noodles from the lunch menu which came with spring roll. I also ordered Beef with Basil sauce. My friend ordered shrimp fried rice which she said it was really good. I also enjoyed my noodles. It wasn't all stuck together like other places. The flavor was lot better than most restaurants. It didnt just taste like soy sauce. Basil sauce was okay. It lacked the strong basil flavor which I usually taste at other Thai restaurants. I would definitely be back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №84

The food was really great and super affordable!

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

Best dishes ever!

Diner Review №88

I love this place <3
The best Thai restaurant in NJ 😎

Diner Review №89

Although there is a sign prominently displayed in the restaurant asking diners to let their server know about any food allergies they might have, our server maintained that all of the food had gluten in it, and that there was no way to accomodate any request for gluten-free options. If the owners do not want to accomodate people with food allergies, they should say so loudly and clearly. We were very disappointed with our experience, and will not return to this restaurant.

Diner Review №90

Visiting from out-of-town, needed a Thai fix late-night, and they were the closest.

BUT!!!

In spite of it being a matter of convenience, I did not regret my choice! Staff was very helpful and friendly, and they are the FIRST Thai restaurant to EVER (from Missouri to Maine, and everywhere in between) make it spicy enough for me my first time in. It took a little bit of talking, but eventually I convinced her I wanted it at least twice as hot as what they consider their top tier of heat, and they delivered! ❤️ The only thing that caught me off guard was that the chicken was lightly breaded, whereas I've never had it breaded in "Cashew Nut Chicken" at other places, but it was still very good. Chicken was perfecly done, great texture, no gristle, and the vegetables were fresh and plentiful!

Only in town for a few days, but will probably end up back there again before I leave.

Diner Review №91

Everything we ordered was so delicious! It’s hard to choose one dish because every item was so good. The food came out exactly how we asked for the spice levels. But my absolute favorite is the mango sticky rice! On top of the food being delicious the service is excellent. She is very knowledgeable about the food and suggested some items. We can’t wait to go back again.

Diner Review №94

Good food here if you’re looking for a local place. Curry puffs were delicious for appetizer. Also tried one of the fried rices and noodle dishes I can’t remember specifically which but they were both good

Diner Review №95

Tried Pad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, Tom Yum soap, and Spring Roll. Everything was delicious! Amazing staff. I’ll definitely come back again!

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

We dine in Friday evening ..Great experienced Thai food , prices r reasonable ..end of the day we forgot our credit card with check , owner was so honest she hold my credit card till next day. Definitely looking forward to go back again ..!

Diner Review №98

A very disappointing experience.. first of all the it took forever for our food to come out. And when we finally got the food, the meat was bad and metal came out of my soup. I lost my appetite. What a horror

Diner Review №99

Finally I found the best Thai restaurant in NY/NJ area!!! If you are looking for an authentic thai food, you must try Khao Thai Cuisine. I called to order for pickup and asked if they recommend minced chicken with fried egg over rice, but the lady suggested sautéed basil with chicken instead as it comes with veggies. It was an excellent choice!!! I loved the flavorful sauce, crunchy vegetable, lots of garlic, chilies, the real holy basil with some heat! (medium can a little more spicy compare to the American standard and it's just about right) I highly recommend this restaurant and looking forward to try everything on their menu :)

Diner Review №101

Amazing Thai food ! We ordered Pad Thai , Tom Yum , Massaman Curry with veggies , and the Papaya Salad. All are delicious and good portions. The papaya salads is sour and spicy just like I like it! The curry is thick, and so savory. This time we ordered take out but next time we would love to dine in as the restaurant looks beautiful inside and outside. Highly recommend Khao Thai Cuisine !

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Amazing staff, I never had Thai food before but this place definitely makes me want to dive deeper into the cuisine. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for good food in manageable portions at an affordable price.

Diner Review №104

Excellent Thai food. Highly recommended

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

We've been here before, but not for lunch. With five of us,we were able to sample a variety of dishes, vegetarian as well as regular. We had papaya salad,as good as we've had anywhere, crispy calamari,outstanding, excellent mock duck and tofu dishes, real duck,you have to have this, a yellow curry with shrimp, worth the trip, and chicken pad Thai, that was the best. Marcy may have not liked her dish,but we thought it was wonderful. If you want good Thai food,this is where to go.

Diner Review №107

Went for lunch with friends. Lunch set was very good. We all ordered different things and we all loved it. So, yes, we will definitely going back there.

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

Best Thai in North Jersey for sure. It's so flavorful and every dish is different. I've never had a bad dish here.

Diner Review №110

The BEST massaman and pad thai I’ve had in AGES. So, so good.

Diner Review №111

Absolutely fantastic. My wife and I shared Pad Thai, Massaman curry, and Crab Rangoon.

Everything was so good. I moved here in August of 22. This is the best meal I’ve had. Thank you!

Diner Review №112

If you are looking for a great Thai spot, this is it. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. We were more than surprised, the space feels super clean and I love that it didn’t smell of food. The service was great and everyone was super nice. But the food, oh gosh, everything we tried was superb. I always get Pad Thai and must say it’s one of the best ones I’ve had, the soup and chicken satay were delish. Gyozas were yummy but fall apart if you don’t eat it all in one go. Not many photos because we couldn’t wait to eat!

Diner Review №113

Great food and the service was excellent. Definitely try Thai Tacos & Tom Yum Kung. Worth the drive from Queens, NY.

Diner Review №114

I highly recommend this place for everyone! We ordered pineapple curry rice and pad thai and they were the best that I’ve ever had around this area. Must try this place.

Diner Review №115

Loveee this place!! The food is to die for and the service staff is very friendly and attentive! I would comeback again!

Diner Review №116

I LOVE THEIR FOOD! Their pad Thai is the best! Also, I recommend “Satay chicken” for appetizer! It’s so delicious! Lastly, their THAI ICE TEA IS TO DIE FOR! 🤤And if you have food allergies they’ll make sure to cook your food with care! I just can’t help myself keep coming back to this place! 🫶🏻

Diner Review №117

I absolutely loved this Restaurant! Having lived in Thailand for 6 years, I tend to be picky about where I buy thai food in the states. I'm so happy that I gave Khao thai a chance. I was not disappointed! Everything from the food, service and atmosphere was just great! I will definitely be eating here on a regular! P.s. the Thai taco appetizer is something special...😍😍

Diner Review №118

The food was delicious. The Tom Yum soup was the best we've ever had. The Pad Thai was delicious, as well, and so was my Curry Duck. Will return.

Diner Review №119

Food was really good! I definitely loved the customer service, excellent and extremely recommended! 🌟

Diner Review №120

I really enjoyed my meal from here! We did an ubereats and it was super fast. Got pad Thai and spring rolls and both were delicious. I love that the pad Thai was moist and not dry like some
Places, you could tell everything was really fresh. I took one star off because the meat in my pad Thai was very flavorless, I’ll try the chicken or veggies next time.

Looking forward to going back.

Diner Review №121

I returned here for a second time with my family and, yes, as I expected. Love everything here. we ordered a spicy basil, grilled chicken, and a few more. Finished it all. Amazing!

Diner Review №122

Really flavorful Thai food with great service. Will definitely come again!

Diner Review №123

I’m so happy about this new restaurant. Amazing food and service!!! Englewood needed this kind of food.

Diner Review №124

Khao Thai is my new favorite local Thai experience!

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here for my birthday and the food was delicious:
-We split the chicken satay appetizer which was perfectly cooked & paired with sides of cucumber and peanut sauces. Great starter dish!
-I ordered the chicken pad thai for my entree and it was extremely tasty (with a great portion size!)
-My husband had the duck tamarind, which he described as “crispy with flavorful meat better than any other duck I’ve had, at Thai restaurants or otherwise”

The Thai Iced Teas were also incredible and a must/try!

We’re already planning our next visit to Khao Thai!!

Diner Review №125

New ownership, and dinner was very good. I had the Duck Tamarind, which had a great balance of tender meat, crispy skin, and a nice crunch to the vegetables. Additionally, the Thai Iced-Tea was quite delicious. I look forward to visiting again and trying other dishes. The staff was also very friendly.

Diner Review №126

Khao Thai Cusine is a new Thai restaurant in Englewood town, NJ. It is under a new management team and chefs. It's currently under a renovation and target for a grand opening in early Dec 2022. I am looking forward to that.
