Diner Review №3

I come here very often. Very good food. Very flavorful and super authentic as the owner herself is from Thailand. I really like their Pad Thai and their thai tea. I also really like their green noodles.

Their crab rangoon is a must get. Their chicken wings are perfectly cooked. They do get busy sometimes, so I try to time when I go.

Diner Review №4

I have been here a few times and have really liked it

Diner Review №5

Good food

Diner Review №6

Did a doordash order from here. Thai basil rice and Red curry are good

Diner Review №7

I was sent the wrong food. In fact I was sent the very food- shrimp I noted having a severe allergy to. Dangerous & obviously inconvenient.

Diner Review №8

Order from them pretty regularly, sometimes the quality of food can be inconsistent like vegetable being undercooked. Their food overall is good. I order a pineapple fried rice

Diner Review №9

This Thai place is the Best One here in the Heights, or I would say all over Jersey city!!! All the meals are delicious, huuuge amount for exceptional prices, and it’s always ready in time, mostly even earlier. :))

Diner Review №10

Diner Review №11

Pad Thai: rice noodles are dry not soft.
Tom Yum soup: never had Tom Yum Soup looks like the thing in the pic below, not real Thai food

Diner Review №12

If you're craving authentic Thai flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit. Their Veg Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are both exceptional—perfectly balanced with vibrant spices and fresh ingredients. The service is top-notch, and to our delight, they surprised us with a complimentary fried ice cream dessert that was the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere is inviting, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Thai cuisine with a touch of thoughtful hospitality!

Good food

Diner Review №14

Just ordered takeout tonight and the green curry was so watered down it wasn’t even worth eating. It’s like they ran out, didn’t bother cooking a fresh batch and just added water to what they made earlier.
Portion was great but a waste since there was no flavor.
This isn’t the first time I’ve ordered here and it’s definitely a hit or miss - not going to take my chances again.

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

Food was very underwhelming did leave a grumble in my stomach seems not fresh only positive big portion

Diner Review №17

Foods are so delicious and superb server and chefs!!

Diner Review №20

Multiple times I’ve ordered from this place and received the wrong food with my name on the bag. I always order the same thing, so I don’t understand how my one simple meal always ends up with me getting the most random, erroneous order. Pay attention to your delivery orders.

Diner Review №21

The food is so mediocre - they don't have a dine-in option (ever since Covid, moved to take-out only) and their quality has really dipped. The fried rice is so tasteless and feels like a packaged and reheated rice from the grocery store. The curries are too watery. Portions are large which is nice - but who wants to eat a lot of mediocre food? Since it's the only Thai spot near us, sometimes I capitulate and order from here, but from next time I'll just walk down to Hoboken to get something more satisfying.

Diner Review №24

I always get the drunken noodles or pad Thai and it is amazing every time! And quick, it’s usually ready in under 15 min. The one thing to note, is that it can get SPICY. We usually get mild but got medium once and it was INTENSE

Diner Review №25

Great food!

Diner Review №26

Very unfortunate because I decided to give this place a try. I put the option for “no spice” because I cannot eat spicey food.. and I even called to let the restaurant know and they drenched my food in spices. I called and they argued with me stating the chef did not put any spices when I can literally taste it.. arguing with the customer is never a professional business mannerism and to proceed to tell me I’m wrong and it’s not spicy.. even more so. This place is just terrible with customer service. Also I’ve tried Thai restaurants before and never had this issue when I’ve mentioned no spices in the past. Terrible! They didn’t apologize or even offer to rectify this issue.

Diner Review №27

Absolutely fabulous staff and experience

This lunch special is a steal, $10 for a Thai meal is amazing: the food is always consistently good here , coming from queens I have a very high standard for Thai and have to recommend this place. Always fresh and good food !

Diner Review №31

Best Thai food here

Diner Review №32

I normally don't throw away food but their pad thai was inedible. This is probably one of the worst thai food that is thai owned. I first ordered and noticed they spoke thai and I was very excited for the food but its worse than chinese take out restaurant trying to saw thai food. Huge disappointment that Jersey City does not have a good Thai food option.

Oh my! The Thai fried rice with beef food was amazing. It tasted like the fried rice I use to eat back home.

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Great food. Fried rice is amazing 👏

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Terrible! Do not order. Papaya salad had a terrible and strong odor, making it inedible. The peanut curry did not taste like peanuts, it was very watery and flavorless. The white rice had over cooked pieces all throughout and found 2 eyelashes in there. I ended up throwing out the entire order.

Diner Review №41

Pad Thai noodles were not upto the mark

Diner Review №42

I order pat thai NO PEANUTS they give me extra peanuts 😒

Diner Review №43

Stir fry was soggy and chicken soup taste more like vegetables.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

Delicious Pad Thai and the price is great for the amount they give you.

Diner Review №46

Found 3 bugs in the food!!

Diner Review №47

Ordered Thai curry recently from this place . It was mainly soupy liquid with some pieces of chicken and broccoli. Please avoid this restaurant if you can

Diner Review №48

food is always good. love this place. their pad see ew is the best

Diner Review №49

I've ordered drunken noodles and chicken dumpling from them. I would 100% recommend 👌🏼 they're amazing

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Forgot half our order. They packed it in ONE SEALED BAG and I got it delivered via Seamless. I called and they said it’s not their problem and couldn’t even talk to me because they had another customer in the restaurant? Who actually does that?? They literally refused to even help me find a solution because I wanted to deal with it locally instead of making them incur even more delivery charges/refund fees. I will never be buying from or going here again.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

We ordered drunken noodles, Thai basil fried rice, tofu pad thai and chicken pad thai. Drunken noodles and Thai basil rice were amaze, but pad thai was dry, sweet and salty.

Diner Review №55

Food was phenomenal. Delivery was quick. Will order again. Noodles didn’t break apart, very good.

Diner Review №56

Terrirble customer service. Avoid at all cost

Diner Review №57

authentic? not! the food served was a disappointment! phadthai doesn’t taste like one. the meat in satay, curry and duck are all dry. definitely not recommending this place.

Diner Review №58

Terrible food terrible place. Don’t get misled by the reviews. I’ve tried this place 2-3 times and it has disappointed every single time. The place is dirty, food isn’t tasty and the servers got attitude.

La comida muy rica la atención súper profesional lo recomiendo

Diner Review №62

This place is more for take out/delivery. The food is so delicious and portions are generous. Recommended!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

First time I went and ordered Thai food here. The food doesn't even come close to Thai Taste.
This is not own by Thai but Philippine people.
So go figure. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Diner Review №65

Below average shrimp Pad Thai - mostly dry bland noodles, little flavor, and very few shrimps compared to the amount of noodles. I don't think I've ever had such a disappointing Pad Thai ever until today. The chicken Crispy Puffs appetizer were good and deserve a star.

Diner Review №66

The best Thai restaurant in Jersey City, NJ! My family and I eat here a lot and sometimes order food for takeout. Their Thai food is so delicious and always fresh! The owner/chef is so sweet and humble, and she makes the best handmade dumplings! The food here is always prepared with love! Great service also by their staff! :)

Diner Review №67

I work here before and the food is delicious I recommend it

Diner Review №68

My first experience with this restaurant. Was excited to have Thai food with my family. Went to the restaurant and ordered our lunch. When I got home 1 dish was missing so I called and they said they can’t deliver it. So had to walk back to pick up the food. Now that we got home we were trying to enjoy the food and the chicken was raw. It tasted like they mixed old food with new food. It was disgusting and got stomach problem from that. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Diner Review №69

Let us delivery drivers pee in the bathroom . We deliver our food to your customers

Diner Review №70

Worst pad Thai I've ever had, unfortunately. Just bland, and entirely noodles with some peanuts on top. Their curry has awesome flavor, but it is just too watery. Their green curry is worth trying.

Diner Review №71

food so bland! MY GOD! place smells like sewage, it needs to be fixed! ate there last week dine-in and ive been smelling a foul smell. please fix the place first before you take customers. please!!!!

Diner Review №72

Great food..fair prices..not fancy at all..little atmosphere

Diner Review №73

We ordered chicken thai basil fried rice and veg pad thai. My husband enjoyed the thai basil fried rice. I absolutely hated the pad thai. It was tonnes of noodles with some veggies thrown in with sugar syrup and chili flakes in it. I just ate a bit but looks like I'm gonna throw away the rest. It was pretty awful. I should have read the other reviews before getting the pad thai. I do not recommend pad thai whatsoever. We also ordered chicken satay and spring rolls which were not so bad. The food in general was okay.

Diner Review №74

Thai food is very delicious 100%

Diner Review №75

Pad Thai no flavor. Salmon dry. Prices not bad... There are many better spots in JC than this place. (To the person who wrote this is like being in Bangkok, is an insult to Bangkok.) I've been in Bangkok and this place doesn't even come close...

Diner Review №76

Disappointed with the beef pad thai. Pad thai tasted dry, chewy and tasted like old oil. No bean sprouts, no delicious taste that you get from pad thai.

Thai iced tea was good.

Door dash delivery was fast.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Beaware on new rude staff. Half the quantity of curry when requested to add less vegetables!!! The guy who takes orders is very rude and doesn't do his job properly. Not going to this place again.

Diner Review №79

Bug. In. Green. Curry. Specifically what appeared to be a baby roach.

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

Poor service. Poor customer handling. Arrogant and misbehavior. You ask him something and he gets more rude to you. He was extremely Arrogant. I never found any other nearby restaurants being so cheap and rude. Definitely i will never look back to this restaurant again. Good food is important but better service is more important. Hope they realize sometime.

Diner Review №82

They were rude unnecessarily. Talks so arrogantly and does not allow you to ask what you like in your ordered food. Extremely unhappy with such misbehavior. I have not seen such rough and bad way of customer handling in any other restaurants in central avenue. This is unexpected. their food is average but due to such immature and rude behavior I and my friends would never go or order from here again.

Diner Review №83

Raw chicken in the soup. Dry pad Thai, only noodles and chicken nothing else. Paanang curry watery, Eggplant sauté was decent.

Diner Review №84

Always good!

Diner Review №85

Neat and clean 👌

Diner Review №86

Pretty good food and good prices and portions. The service could be better for dine-in.

Diner Review №87

Let me preface this by saying that I never (ever) write reviews, but I've ordered a few times from here now and I can't stop raving about it to everyone I know. Times are tough so I hope my review might help someone else order from here!

The food from here is consistently fresh, hot, and delicious. I the love drunken noodles, the pad thai is amazing, and anything fried is fresh and light, especially the egg rolls. The vegetables are cooked to perfection, crispy string beans and tender carrots-- flavorful sauces that can pack a punch if you like your food spicy like I do!

For the price you get a very decent amount of food (For me it's good for 2 or even 3 meals!) and the delivery service has been on time, if not early every time. You will not regret ordering anything from Nana Thai and you'll keep coming back for more!

Diner Review №88

Pad Thai was great but that Green Curry Fried Rice was amazinggggg! If you like heat, I highly recommend. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Diner Review №89

The driest Pad Thai I have ever had...
I added a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Large portion of bland food with no flavor..
$15 for a pound of noodles with 5 to 6 schrimp....sooo saaaddd...😞

Diner Review №90

It was our first order and omg the drunken noodles and thai basil fried rice were out of the world .. the shrimp were so huge and tasty .. will definitely reorder

Diner Review №91

The food is always very good! Definitely authentic Thai. However, a lot of times when I enter I do not see the people at the counter wearing masks (instead having it on their chin) so I can't give five stars. It makes me wonder if the chefs making my food are wearing masks...

Diner Review №92

Yummy, fast, and great service! 👍👍

Diner Review №93

The peanut curry was delicious!

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Firstly, great food and bubble tea. BUT, I specifically asked for tom yum chicken NOODLE soup ENTREE...They gave me an appetizer Size (Incredible small for 11$) with no noodles. It was ridiculous and I hate that they did that because the food was amazing.... so disappointed yet satisfied

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

Drunken noodles is always hit.
Red and green curry was like color added to water very thin and tofu was raw

Diner Review №98

Good

Diner Review №99

Really good food at a reasonable price! Love their Drunken noodle with shrimp.

Diner Review №100

Ordered delicious shrimp pad thai today! I'm so glad you deliver to Hoboken, because there's no good Thai food here at all.

Diner Review №101

I was sooo in the mood for drunken noodles and so I looked up a few places that delivered and had good reviews. Came across Nana on google and seamless and decided to try them out. Called and placed the order to avoid $3.00 delivery fee on seamless but they still charged once I saw receipt at delivery. Thanks for the heads up...or not. Order was accurate: crab ragoons and drunken noodles, mild. Upon tasting ragoons I was surprised to find how flavorless they were, Even with the sweet/sour sauce it came with. This sauce appeared to be watered down as well. Ok fine, let's just go for noodles. Again, looked like typical drunken noodles but it was completely flavorless. I mixed them up and still nothing. I could taste the mild spice but nothing else. I was so disappointed and had to add soy sauce just to give it some flavor. Maybe this was an off night (3.8.2020) but unfortunately too many other places to try to give this another chance.

So I went to this place for a casual date with hubby and, don’t get me wrong ,the food tasted great....I won’t come back tho...there were flies everywhere...I was willing to overlook that a little bit because I was starving...HOWEVER,when we were sitting there waiting for the check a ROACH, a WHOLE DANM ROACH fell on my lap ,from God knows where! Y’all I freaking freaked out! I was out of there y’all! I was gone! Dang!...it’s the first time I’ve ever went to a restaurant and a roach falls on my lap lol....they are usually hidden in the back somewhere out of sight!!! what you don’t know or see don’t kill you right? Well the roach crawl on me, I saw it and I almost died! Lol

Diner Review №108

My order was screwed up and the restaurant manager refused to fix the issue and did not own up to the mistake. Extremely rude.

Ice tea is worth trying

Diner Review №125

Excellent food. Try the Thai Iced Coffee

Diner Review №126

I used to frequent this restaurant at least once every week, and sometimes twice. The service was always lovely, and the waitress came to know my "usual" requests. However, I came with a friend one day and hanging from an appetizer plate was a roach. Dead, but attached via cobweb or something to the plate. The waitress was nice about it, and appropriately embarrassed. The restaurant proceeded to charge us for the food anyway! So, we paid, and have never looked back. I pass the restaurant all tge time, but I will never set foot in there, nor can I recommend it to anyone else.

Great Thai for the price & quick. Owner is very sweet, they get more take out orders then sit down. Overall they are very good. I have yet any issues. I hope they stuck around. We have eaten here since they first opened that was many years now. Everyone we have bought there or eaten food loved it.

Diner Review №132

My God, such a yummy and healthy food. They are quick in home delivery and always delivers the food with consistent quality and taste. We are big time fan of their black noodles and green curry. They have brown rice imported from Thailand , it tastes great with green curry. I love their vegetarian duck salad and thai ice tea♥️

ordered food last night with grubhub. Food was super spicy. could not eat it. Contacted the restaurant but their policy is such that they do not care about it much. Very bad customer service. Will never order again. Needless to say waste of money

Diner Review №144

Waited 2 HOURS for food!!!! When we placed the order we were quoted a 1 hour delivery time. So after 1 hour passed we called several times and they kept giving us a different story...driver is stuck in traffic, behind schedule etc. Finally we called one last time and were ready to just cancel our order when the food finally arrived. We asked the driver what happened and he said, "Nothing, we're just busy." And the food was warm so obviously he didn't get stuck in traffic. I have ordered several times from this place and will NEVER order again. They had no care and didn't offer us anything for our trouble. I will be sure to write a bad review on every site I can find!

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

visited this place twice, loved the taste of their food, will surely recommend to everyone who loves thai food.

Diner Review №157

Just the Thai I was looking for ... I loved their food. Recently I ordered a delivery from here and the first thing that I have to say is that despite of saying that it would take them one hour for delivery which I was okay with because of rush hour delivery, it was here in exactly 40 mins which was wonderful. And the food was still very hot and I loved it.
I order their drunken noodles and panang curry and both were delicious. It was just what I was looking for in my neighborhood. It was appropriately spiced and tasted super fresh and I ate it two days in a row as the quantity was quite a lot for two people which is super given the price per dish is almost 10 bucks.
If you want some delicious Thai in jersey heights then this is definitely the place. I totally recommend their food.

Diner Review №158

Very good food, price is fair. I ordered through an app and it got here in decent time.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

It was ok the food was just American Thai I like spicy

I have visited Thailand two times, and this food tastes and looks authentic to me. Price to quality ratio is excellent, and the lady who served us is very, very nice. My wife and I enjoy the quiet atmosphere of this restaurant. We have gone two times and look forward to future visits. Conveniently located in the heart of Jersey City Heights.

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

The food was bland and they gave us one soy sauce for two meals.

Diner Review №169

The driver was really slow and took us a long time to get our food. They also forgot our sauces and appetizers so we called and told them about it. They told us it would take 45 mins but it took over two hours. They still didn’t bring the food nor did they call or apologize. Do NOT support this place plus the food was really bland and cold. 0 Stars if you want a true opinion

Diner Review №170

Tasty food at an affordable price! Try the vegetarian duck salad, even if you're not a vegetarian. It is so good!

Ordered from here at 7:00pm on a Sunday. Waited an hour with no delivery and no word from the restaurant. I called to see where the food was and they said that they were busy. We waited another half hour and called again only to be directed to an answering machine. The place closed and we never received our food. We were still charged for something we never got. I would never recommend this place to anyone as it is a complete waste of time and money! I would give this place 0 stars but google won’t let me.

Came here for the first time and tried the drunken spicy noodles and the spaghetti noodles (non spicy). Both were excellent! I had the custard for dessert which was very tasty! The service was great and the woman who served us was very friendly!

Diner Review №195

This place is a hidden gem. Authentic Thai dishes that are reasonably priced, great service, healthy selections. Would definitely come back again.

Diner Review №196

Very reasonable price for lunch special, fresh and tasty.

Diner Review №197

Ordered for delivery twice and food was flavorful just like i remember it in Thailand. Portions were big !

Diner Review №198

Very good authentic food. Nice staff. Average ambience. They are definitely less staffed.

Diner Review №199

Delicious food. I had the whole snapper and it was fried to perfection. Don't let the understated look of the place fool you. The food is quality and it's served relatively quickly given the number of takeout/delivery orders that seen to come in regularly.

Diner Review №200

After reading its great reviews, I stopped by Nana Thai for dinner and I definitely found my new go-to place for Thai food. There was no one there when I went on a Monday night so I sat at the high top counter - the woman working was incredibly kind and we chatted about Thailand and her favorite places there. I got the shrimp pad Thai with Thai iced tea (which took about 7-10 min for them to bring out to me) and it was nothing short of delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more!
