We've proudly been serving originally Thai food in Franklin Park, NJ since 2016. Our restaurant is family-owned and operated and ideal of dine-in room to enjoy the distinctive flavors of authentic Thai food in a cozy and comfortable environment for a fantastic price. Also we've been serving hot and spicy food, you'll enjoy the meal with us.
First time visit.
I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it fell short of expectations. The menu sounded promising, but the portion sizes were small, and the prices were on the higher side. Service was good.
We ordered pad Thai and vegetable fried rice. PadThai was slightly undercook. Fried rice was good.
Also, there were flies all over the place.
The food is so addictive and is very inviting atmosphere. I had been coming here for 6 whole years and counting. The food is very flavorful, I don't trust no other Thai Place, only Aroma's. The people are always nice and a cashier named Matt's served me tea while I waited for my order. One time she gave me some nice candy from Thai. Love this place. I' can't get enough of the Drunken Noodles my latest addiction and my son. My daughter LOVE the Black Bean Sauce. These people are like my new family being spoiled by them w the little things and knowing my name is GREAT customer service. Thank you for your service for all these years. Happy New Year Aroma Royal Thai..😃
This is a really cute thai restaurant with a very polite staff. The pineapple fried rice is the best that I have had. I wish they were cheaper but definitely on par with all of the surrounding food. Dine in or take out you will be pleased
The best Thai restaurant in NJ27!!!
We have been ordering from here for about a year now and cannot fault it.
Our fave is Thai green curry and the drunken noodles!!! Absolutely love it!!
We also had the spring rolls and they were not oily and were very tasty and crispy.
Noodles - we always add the egg and love the medium spicy
Thai green curry - the absolute best!!
Great food. Atomohere is beautiful. Smallish place with about 12 tables. We had Chicken Pad Thai, Garlic Shrimp with fried rice, Red Curry Beef ( comes with heat underneath with lots of sauce that tastes delicious with rice) and Mango Chicken. Then we had fried bananas and sticky black rice for dessert. The black rice was very sweet. The bananas have a very pretty presentation. Ladies night is the best bargain as long as you have ladies in your group. 75.00 for the 4 of us.
We ate here to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary and what a celebration it was! The food was delicious, service was great and portions were huge. I would recommend the chicken spring rolls, Tom yum fried rice, black pepper chicken and Thai green curry chicken. Thank you for a wonderful night out, we’ll definitely be back.
I love this place, every time I come back to New Jersey I crave their food. My family I have ordered to-go and have eaten in plenty of times, and the serving sizes are pretty good for both. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. Since this is a Thai place, please keep in mind that when they say it's spicy, it's burn-you-from-the-inside-out spicy. Thai spicy is nothing to joke about. But it's tasty! Would definitely suggest the stir-fried Eggplant with Basil and tofu dish (I like to add chicken), as well as the Singapore Style Noodle. The Eggplant dish is my go-to, I don't remember the last time I got anything else for myself 😅.
Love this place and will definitely be back!

Very tasty food and friendly staff
Their curries are always the absolute best👌
Very Unhappy with billing, I am very frequent visitor for this restaurant felt very unhappy with billing by cheating.
We visited 4 people, 2 Adults, 2 small kids simply added 10% gratuity they increased prices 4 or 5 times in past 2 years but still collected 10% gratuity without notifying or without displaying anywhere in Restuarant.
Amazing food
Good food, authentic taste :)
Pretty good thai food, very nice service. The duck is really tasty.
This is based off of an online order. I've ordered via Seamless at this restaurant before. The food is always good. This time, I requested the pad thai be made without peanuts, due to a severe nut allergy in the family. They sprinkled peanuts all over the food. This is unacceptable. While the food is usually delicious, they have to pay attention to details as this is a big health issue.
Best Thai food in the neighborhood with lot of vegan, vegetarian options. The Thai basil fried rice, all their soups, curry and the pad cha are a must try.
Very loud parties were present making conversation impossible between me and my friend. I did not hear any request from the restaurant manager to the noisy clients to keep it low. They should have done that. My dinner was spoiled because of the stinking atmosphere of the rowdy like parties.
Always done take outs from here (they re-opened for dine in) food is always ready on time, quality and taste is always consistent.
Aroma Royal Thai Cuisine has been my go-to for years, a culinary haven where every dish is a flavor-packed journey. While they occasionally turn up the heat more than expected, a quick call ensures my preferences are met. From timeless favorites like Drunken Noodles and Spicy Basil Fried Rice to the comforting warmth of Red Curry and Green Curry, their menu is a testament to Thai culinary mastery. With plentiful vegetarian options and a welcoming atmosphere whether dining in or taking out, Aroma Royal Thai Cuisine always delivers a memorable experience.
I ordered the drunken noodles and they’re absolutely delicious
The staff and food quality are world class.. this place always wows us with the authenticity! Would love to go again and again!
Excellent food
Amazing food and amazing service! Thank you so much for an excellent experience!!
Workers are very nice. Food tasted decent.
The red curry and masaman curry had 4 pieces of tofu each and tons of gravy - not the right proportion.
Portions are so tiny compared to very high prices. Not worth spending your money here.

Ordered medium spicy food but still it was too spicy. Couldn’t enjoy the food.
Great service, tasty food, good portion size and decent price. Take out, delivery and dine-in , have tried all three options, all works well.
Three out of four dishes were excellent. Intimate dining and friendly staff
This is one of my favorite Thai places and my go-to restaurant. I typically get the fried rice, drunken noodles, lo mein or pad thai. The Tom yum soup is really good too.
They have several levels of spice. I like spicy but medium is too much for me so I get mild (it's still spicy - enough to definitely open up my sinuses). My bf loves the medium spice though
Definitely the best Thai food around .Love everything on the menu.Staff is very nice and friendly. And they finally are open for dining!!!
Quaint, quiet, and calm with an authentic collection of delectable options for appetizers and entrees
I’m sorry I really wanted to like this place and was so in the mood for a nice dinner but.. did not happen.
So I ordered a few dishes to try out: Tom yum; pad Thai; red curry and chicken spring rolls.
I did like spring rolls. Curry wasn’t bad too.
But! Tom yum I can’t even rate because I was only able to try one spoon, it was insanely spicy. Pad Thai was probably the worst I ever tried. I was home 10mins after my pickup and when I tried to poke it with a fork it was a complete brick, you could probably cause injuries if you heat someone with that pad Thai, tried to reheat it, tried to add a bit of water and reheat it, nothing worked, it was so dry I couldn’t separate any noodles at all so I managed to cut a few pieces with a knife just to see how it tasted and it wasn’t any good.
Their levels of spicy is apparently their own thing, do not compare it to other restaurants, I ordered all dishes in medium and I felt like it’s burning me alive.
No utensils at all were provided even though my order stated that I needed it cause I’m in a hotel for business. Fortunately I had one extra set sent by another restaurant a day earlier.
I feel bad criticizing someone who maybe just had a bad day cooking but I just wanna let the restaurant know what could be improved and what needs attention.
Was ok potions we decent size
Food is always top notch! I have been eating here for years and is my go to Thai restaurant. They will adjust heat according to your tolerance and they always get it right. So many dishes to choose from; there is something for everyone. If you enjoy Thai, this is the place for you. A must try in my book.
We love the Thai food here and would recommend!
Food was really good. My sons fried rice was full of egg shells or would of have given a higher score.
The best Thai restaurant in NJ27!!!

Thai green curry - the absolute best!!
Consistent with quality Thai cuisine.
Take out only.
This young guy with the orders has a very bad attitude and really bad vibes. He tried to snap at me because he's holding me up talking about I have to wait on line with no line. Very unprofessional
Best crab fried rice & Thai curry !
I’d give this place 6 stars if i could.
The pad Thai is a classic and we've been enjoying trying new dishes as well. Everything is very yummy. We got takeout and the online ordering was smooth.
Delivery so gave generic stars for atmosphere and service. Good helping of tatsy food was delivered.
I purchased the Aroma Cajun Salmon and entree and was extremely dissatisfied! The spinach was supposed to garlic spinach, but it didn’t have one lick on seasoning on it. The salmon was completely dried out! The cajun/spicy rice was barely the only good thing. They only do takeout and it wasn’t busy at all! I’m so mad my money was wasted.
Ordered pad thai chicken, Hot. Spice level was good. Flavors were good. Price was fair. The noodles were much thinner than any pad thai Ive ever eaten anywhere else, which was strange. Almost like pad mie thai instead of pad thai.
The stuffed chicken wings from years ago are no longer on the menu--such a disappointment. I think the ownership has changed hands since years ago when I used to frequent here.
Take out only. There are a couple parking spots up front with more parking around the back.
Great place for takeout.
Items Ordered:
1. Drunken Basil Noodles (Pad Kee Mow), Very Spicy
-It was not very spicy. Perhaps I should have ordered ‘extremely spicy’?
-I personally found the dish very oily. I ended up throwing away a decent portion of the dish.
-Really did not taste different from the side of Vegetable Lo Mein that I ordered. Only differences were wider noodles and tofu.
-The portion was small for the price.
-Would not order again.
2. Thai Panang Curry, Veggies & Tofu w/ added potatoes, Very Spicy
-Dish was not spicy, at all. It was sweet. The flavor was standard for Panang Curry. It was tasty, but not what I asked for.
-Charged extra for potatoes
-Would order Massaman Curry instead.
3. Side of Vegetable Lo Mein.
-Oily, small, taste was odd. Possibly due to amount of oil, which was not fresh.
-Would not order again
4. Pad Thai w/ Beef & Shrimp, Spicy. (Partner ordered separately a few hours later)
-Partner liked the flavor
-Dish not cooked with as much oil as mine were. It was ordered significantly later.
-Thought it was overpriced for the serving
Pros:
1. Friendly staff
Cons:
1. Expensive for the portion size:
-2 dishes (charged for potatoes in curry), 1 side of Lo Mein, extra side of small Jasmine rice = $43.00, plus tip.
2. Take out only
3. Noodle dishes are very oily and heavy
It's one of the BEST Thai restaurants in the tri-state area and they really do make it spicy (if you pick the very hot/extremely hot levels) which I love
Ordered chicken pad Thai and was disappointed. Dry, bland, no tofu, angel hair noodle, no sauce, strangest version of pad Thai I’ve ever had. 2 star because the spring rolls were delicious.
My pineapple fried rice with chicken was completely delicious . Orderd your shrimp wonton soup as well but ill have tomorrow as well as left over rice. Very good meal
The last two times the the shrimp and mussels were old and very dried out.
Increased the price too much. Also much less quantity.
Great food, well priced
So freaking good!
First place I’ve ate Thai & I’ve fallen in love. The spices always hit & its very zen like feelings inside!
We miss dining in, since the pandemic you can only take out now, pretty good food.
Love their crab fried rice! Every menu item we have tried there is awesome!
Delicious!
The food is so addictive and is very inviting atmosphere. I had been coming here for 6 whole years and counting. The food is very flavorful, I don't trust no other Thai Place, only Aroma's.

pad se yew on point!
Good Food and nice environment
Good food, good host. Loved it!
The food is delicious. We definitely recommend and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
My husband and I are new in the area and were happy when we found Aroma Thai as our new go-to. We have ordered several times and have been pretty satisfied with our food. However , looks like this run has probably come to an end for us after ordering takeout this past Sunday night.
We ordered pad Thai and drunken noodles ( as usual ) and were so disappointed.
The pad Thai was SO dry - lacking any flavor.
The pad kee mao(drunken noodles) were very underwhelming as well. They were so mushy and a very very odd texture. No idea if it’s because it was extremely over cooked or old. We have probably eaten drunken noodles 1000+ times in our lives and haven’t encountered this.
What a waste of our money and experience. Will try out new places first before coming back here for another chance.
One of the best Thai restaurants in Central Jersey!!
Super yummy food... Red Thai curry and satay is amazing.. And best Golden Tofu I have ever had...
The food was excellent only thing I can say is please make sure you check your items before leaving the restaurant besides that I will return for more food
I've been coming here for years, and their food and service is wonderful. They are very attentive!
Hands down the best authentic Thai food in Central NJ. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. Always best to eat at the restaurant as it's fresh and hot and as spicy as you like.
We ate here to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary and what a celebration it was! The food was delicious, service was great and portions were huge. I would recommend the chicken spring rolls, Tom yum fried rice, black pepper chicken and Thai green curry chicken. Thank you for a wonderful night out, we’ll definitely be back.
It's just crazy good. This is my new Thai place now and everything we got knocked my socks off. Highly, highly recommend.
Great food some excellent vegetarian options as well.
Looking forward to my second visit because around 6 months ago we had a wonderful Thai meal here. Wish I could say that our second take out order was as delightful. The green Thai chili was lacking the sparkle and depth of flavor that we were expecting, it was flat. The lamb dish was very flavorful but the lamb was dry, chewey and a somewhat small portion size for the price. The chicken balls in garlic sauce were dry and mealy and the sauce overly sweet. Think I'll try some other Thai restaurants before ordering from here again.
Just came back from the restaurant, had drunken noodles chicken, spring rolls, and ginger lamb with mushroom. Food is gr8, very courteous folks and loved it. I should have said more spices went for medium , more spices would have given more kick to the flavor I guess. Anyways very happy satisfied meal.
Ordered Red Curry online for pick up the app had a option to order it without spice, the red curry I picked up was a 8/10 spice level. Owner stated she can't make it not spicy because of the paste base so then why is no spice an option? She did not refund I paid $15 had to throw it out as I do not enjoy being burned from the inside out.
We have been regular customers of Aroma for 20 years. Excellent food and great service
Highly recommend the yellow curry !
Honestly I am utterly disappointed. The first time I tired this place, I was not impressed. I decided to give it a second chance. This time it was worse than the first time. I ordered Ocean Red Snapper. First of all, the fish was not red snapper, it was more like tilapia. The fish also had bad smell. Then the fish was chewy and not edible. I paid $20 for this fish dish that I had to throw away. It made me lose my appetite. The papaya salad was OK, definitely not Thai taste. Definitely will not be back.
Food is always so delicious!! 👌😋
Definitely one of the better Thai places for about 20-30 miles of here. Authentic taste and flavors. I had shrimp pad Thai, chicken satay, and panang curry. Spice level was perfect and accurate. I think maybe the depth of the flavors was missing a tiny bit of something but that's probably me being nit picky. I ordered online for take out but also had to wait over an hour after placing my order, plus another 15-20 min after my designated pick up time to actually get my food. Overall, definitely one of the better Thai food places in the area.
Fish dish is great. But soup and duck are so small and not my favorite.
Great food. Convenient curbside service during the pandemic.
Very good super quick
Omg. Best pad thai I have had in a while! The garlic scallops were soo delicious
Amazing food. One of the best Thai restaurants in the area. Pre-COVID indoor dining was nice, great cozy decor.
We ordered food from this store because we wanted to keep their business running, apparently they were very busy that evening, quality of food was not as we expected and they did not pack rice with a curry.
Great food
Ordered via Uber eats 4 items, but provided to us only three items, call them back and told. NO reply. Horible food, will never buy again from this place.
Aroma and its staff have consistently come through during the pandemic. They provide great customer service and consistency in their food. We try to order from here often to support the local businesses. Items that we order can recommend are the black pepper chicken, tom yum soup, drunken noodles, shrimp pad thai, crispy shrimp dumplings are all delicious. Thank you for continuing to serve our community.
Lost my phone connection while placing my order. They actually called me back. They brought the food to the car. They gave us far bigger portions than expected. The food was seasoned well and very very tasty. Impressed with new owners!!
Love this place. Staff is friendly. The food is delicious. I always get the Singapore noodles and corn soup, so not sure what the rest of the menu is like but the food is always satisfying.
The best Thai food I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to probably 100 Thai restaurants over the years. The Penang curry and the Massaman curry are phenomenal
We LOVE this place. We have to have it once a week. The food is always freshly made and so delicious.
I did not like the fried rice, noodles and entree this time as they were quite bland. Earlier it used to be tasty. The vegetable potsticker appetizer was only one good.
May all the people taste their cuisine👍 I’m in love with their crab fried rice. It is heavenly taste!!!!!! Must try!!!
This is our Thai food craving destination. Love it! Delicious every time.
Excellent food and service, gave me an exact time to pick up and did not disappoint. Food was piping hot and quantity was more than sufficient. Will definitely repeat visit.
I barely write reviews, but this was some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. Great vegetarian options. This was my first time ordering here, and I had it delivered. Mango Mousse dessert was fantastic. Can't wait to order here again!!
Fried tofu, pad thai, tom kha gai, chicken spring rolls are very good. Skip on the satay.
Everything I've tried has been delicious with sizable servings
Online ordering efficient
Delicious food, excellent service, does not disappoint on the spiciness front (Very Hot FTW!) Currently doing curbside pickup, and they call when the order is almost ready which I really appreciate!
Very good with curbside!
We get food here every week! Never disappointed! The food is excellent!!
Food was excellent and ready on time for curbside pickup! The chicken red curry and chicken penang curry were fantastic. Pad thai and basil fried rice were also very well done. Everything was done to perfection and had been authentic. Definitely recommend this joint for a Thai meal.
Manchurian was really soft and delicious 😍
I’ve come to the this place a handful of times now and I’ve never been let down.
Thanks for constantly serving some of the BEST pad Thai I’ve ever had!
The employees at aroma were so kind to us. There is excellent customer service and there is kindness. One is necessary for a business to thrive and the other is a sign of a compassionate and caring person. At aroma royal Thai you get both.
This place honestly is the best Thai restaurant I’ve been to since coming back from a trip to Chiangmai (Thailand) 2 years ago. The new management is great and I highly recommend their Pad Thai and Massaman. I came here again with a large group (8) and the service was perfect. Everything went smoothly and as always, food was amazing.
Very good
The food was tasteless
Best Thai in the area!!!
Cozy
Good thai food and next door is Rita's ice cream parlor. Try tom yum soup family soup.
Exceptionally good food. One of the few places to actually make my meal spicy just like I asked. Tried each of my family's entrees, and you can't go wrong with whatever you choose.
Great food! Friendly staff!
Aroma thai has been here for a long time and its family owned and operated in franklin park nj. Recommend best for vegetarians
Amazing service and ambiance. Food is great for vegetarian option we loved thai fried ride and tofu with black pepper and onions loved it 👌🍲🍽

Very good food!
The best dumplings I’ve ever eaten . The food was absolutely phenomenal. I got the red curry with rice and hubs got the crab fried rice . Delicious food - perfect proportion. No complaints at all . Love love it
Well-graded for spice. Did a zero first my daughter, mild for wife, hot for me. Glad I didn't say very hot. Green curry was authentic
Nice place. Nice food
Best Thai food in the area. Great service. Great people. Happy me.
Amazing food and lot of vegetarian options
