We walked in, and the hostess seated us right away. We were so excited;we planned to order appetizers, entrées, and dessert. Unfortunately, the excitement quickly faded due to the terrible service.
We waited more than half an hour before anyone even acknowledged us. I had to literally flag someone down. At one point, a waiter came in and kicked out the people next to us but didn’t even glance our way. That same waiter then proceeded to help the table behind us, even though they arrived 10 to 15 minutes after us.
After struggling to get anyone’s attention, I waved someone down again. He finally brought over a lady, who then called a waitress to take our order. We ended up ordering Thai spring rolls, roadside noodles, and Thai iced tea. The food was absolutely delicious, and the restaurant itself is beautiful, but the service was just too disappointing to overlook.
I would recommend ordering takeout instead because the food is worth it,but the dine-in experience, unfortunately, is not.

I told my friends that I missed Thai food and they brought me to Phattra Thai Restaurant in Metuchen and it was absolutely a great recommendation. I had my favourite Pad Thai and it was delicious, as authentic it can be. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Indeed a 5 star dining experience. The restaurant interior made me feel that I was in Thailand. I would love to go back on mango season to have my mango sticky rice which was not available during our visit. Of course, I had a glass of Thai Iced Tea.

Dumplings were good.

Diner Review №6

Totally disaster place. Hyped by few. Manager rude and poor service. Never ever go there. Many other good options around in Metuchen than with idiotic staff.

Diner Review №7

Must try for vegetarians 🌱, loved the drunken Thai noodles and panang 🍛 curry, perfect amount of spice. I’d recommend this place. 🙌

Diner Review №8

This place has horrible customer service. I ordered a pineapple fried rice and a red curry, level 4 spicy for both. When I got the food and drove home, the pineapple fried rice had no spice at all. I called the restaurant and the lady named Min would not listen. I keep trying to speak and addressing the situation but she keeps interrupting and saying bye on the phone. This place has no customer service skills and they do not know how to talk to people. I do not know if she understood what I was saying or not but you should at least listen to your customers when they speak and understand what they are asking. Horrible Experience.

Diner Review №9

My favorite place for Thai food!

Diner Review №10

We have been here twice, and both times the food was outstanding. Today, we ordered the green curry, drunken noodle, and the basil stir fry. All were excellent. Also, the ambience is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended for vegetarians and anyone who wants to have high quality Thai food.

While the food was good my experience for lunch was not pleasant. Pad Thai lunch special with chicken, veg or tofu is 12.99 plus tax, beef is additional 3 dollars, should be 12.99+3=15.99 . But they charged 12:99 +3+3=18:99 for each plate.
For 4 plates , it is additional 24 dollars. This is not right.
They should be upfront with the price and not cheat customers.
If chicken pad Thai is 12:99, then additional shrimp or beef (protein ) should be 12:99 + 3 = 15.99, otherwise please change menu to show 12.99+6=18.99.
Why do you advertise chicken pad Thai is 12.99?

Diner Review №16

Extremely kind service, very good food, great atmosphere.

Diner Review №17

Pad tai beef was amazing. Service was on point and I will be back. I was very satisfied. The salad was very fresh.

Beautiful place decoration and atmosphere, excellent service Duck platers are wonderful.
Park is difficult at Metuchen, I parked in a place that was having a signal for Public Parking and police gave me a ticket for no reason…..,

Delicious pad Thai noodles, and very tasty Thai tea (get the large size!).

Diner Review №23

It is unfortunate that I have to write a negative review of our experience at Phattra, a restaurant that I frequent (either dine-in or take out) since I live about 2 minutes away. We were a party of 5 for reservations at 8:15 pm. We got to the restaurant at 8:20 pm, one server told us the kitchen closes at 8:45 pm, so had to order before then. Then a second server comes to the table and tells us the kitchen closes at 8:30 pm, giving us 10 minutes, literally from the time we walk in to place an order. Who the heck closes a kitchen before 9 or 9:30 pm?? Nevertheless, we put our order in, and about 20 minutes later, the food starts coming out. I still haven't gotten my fish dish I ordered, so I'm thinking that it's probably arriving. Maybe 10 minutes into eating, I call the server over and tell her I'm still waiting for the fish, she says sorry we forgot to make it and the cooks have already left. She apologized repeatedly, I said ok, ok. She says can I bring some dessert on the house, my friends get the cheesecake and the waitress offers a sticky rice with coconut cream that she can put together. I said fine. She brings out the rice dessert and as I'm eating it in front of the server, something is in my teeth and I reach in and pull out a hair with a piece of rice on it. Now the server is apologizing profusely again to me. Horrible experience, totally turned off now. We pay the bill, obviously the remaining workers are waiting for us to leave. The food we did get was good, and has always been. But this whole thing about the kitchen closing at 8:30-8:45 pm, the Metuchen Business Alliance needs to crack down on these restaurants closing the kitchens way too early, and the result is what I experienced this evening.

I had my Daughters 21st birthday lunch here with a group of 13 and we loved it.
They were very kind to accomodate us for a walkin and although we were at 2 tables because of the setup, We enjoyed every item we ordered.
Price: Very decent and affordable
Food: Was very tasty.
Quantity: Decent enough except for the Chicken Satay.
Cleanliness: Amazingly clean compared to most upscale restaurants.
Staff: Was very kind. and professional.

Thank you for letting us have a good time..

Incredible little gem -
Loved the vegetarian options

Diner Review №27

The Pad Thai was a bit too sweet and sticky. The green curry was perfect. Ambience and service is great.

Diner Review №28

Phattra Thai is a hidden gem that consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. If you’re a fan of authentic Thai cuisine, this is a must-visit.

The Pad Thai is the star of the show—it hits every single time. Perfectly balanced flavors, tender noodles, and just the right hint of tangy sweetness make it a dish you’ll crave long after your visit.

The fried rice is another standout. Whether you go with chicken, shrimp, or vegetarian, it’s loaded with fresh ingredients and a satisfying smoky flavor that elevates this classic dish.

The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, with attentive service that makes you feel right at home. Whether dining in or taking out, you can count on Phattra Thai to serve up incredible food every time. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №29

Great atmosphere, service is quick and servers are really knowledgeable. Love the decor they have in the restaurant. We ordered Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles and Thai fried rice. The rice was ok but everything else was great! Would recommend going!

It saddens me to write this review, as the food at Phattra has always been outstanding. Based on my recommendation, a friend and I visited for dinner. We were seated around 7:45 PM, ordered our appetizers, and placed our dinner order shortly after. Everything was going smoothly, and our meals were served by 8:20 PM—no complaints at this point.

However, around 8:40 PM, our server informed us that the kitchen would be closing at 9 and asked if we needed anything else. My friend ordered a Thai iced tea, and I asked for a Coke. We continued enjoying our conversation and meal, but by 8:50, the manager brought us the bill and asked if we wanted boxes. We mentioned that we were still eating, but just 10 minutes later, at 9 PM, the same manager returned and asked us to pack up because they were closing.

We were literally asked to leave mid-meal. I understand when kitchens close and no new orders can be placed, but I’ve never experienced being rushed out while still eating. This was incredibly disappointing. Phattra, you can do better. Please make your guests feel welcome before your reputation becomes a thing of the past.

Diner Review №37

I recently visited Phattra Thai Restaurant in Metuchen, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. Upon arriving, we accidentally asked for a table for 4 but quickly realized we needed a table for 5. When we politely apologized and asked for a larger table, the staff member responded with noticeable rudeness, making us feel unwelcome.

The unpleasantness didn’t end there. When it was time to order, another staff member came to take our order, and when we asked her to repeat the items, she was visibly annoyed and made faces, which was completely unprofessional.

To top it off, when I went to use the restroom, a cleaning lady entered while I was inside and started cleaning the bathroom. It felt awkward and intrusive.

Overall, the attitude of the staff was rude and unwelcoming, which completely spoiled our dining experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously and makes the necessary changes.

Diner Review №38

Came in as it was walk in but the manger/receptionist was super rude. Made us wait to tell us to wait longer when the other person said she was getting our table ready. Came in for a birthday thinking the guy would have decency to figure out the table situation but he seemed like he was putting his own stress on his customers. Horrible service for a first time customer. Decided to walk out and go to another spot. Never going to come back here again to ever bother trying this place based on their horrible attention to customers.

Located in Metuchen, it's a pretty cool spot, I didn't have much, but mushroom soup. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I have to go back to try more than soup. Pleasant staff. I'd still recommend it, though.

Diner Review №47

My favorite Thai place around. Phenomenal food. I used to go there all the time when living in NJ

Diner Review №48

I forgot my keys here; staff was able to find and hold on to it for me! Food is good here too :)

Diner Review №49

This restaurant automatically charge a 20% tips on party of 5, claiming it a large party. Isn’t large group typically 6 people or more?

The BEST Thai food! I could seriously eat the drunken noodles every day. Restaurant inside is also beautiful

Diner Review №53

My go-to Thai restaurant. Food is reliably delicious. I’ve been there many times and my order was only messed up once, and they immediately fixed it without hesitation. The wait staff is always kind and the atmosphere is cute and welcoming. I highly recommend the spring rolls, I order them every time I go there.

Diner Review №59

They messed up my order big time.
My order with spice level 3 was supposed to be without eggs as you can see in my picture and, yet they put eggs in my order. They couldn't do such a simple job. I drove 20 minutes to pickup my food and when I called to complain, they told me to bring back the food as if they were doing us a big favour. Such a shameful act and no kindness at all. I have arrowed the eggs in the pictures. They didn't even apologize for their mistake.

Diner Review №66

What a surprisingly lovely interior — well worth dining in versus the take-out we’d ordered in the past. It would make a great date location but also a perfect group choice; you can feel like your table convo is private but that the overall feel is festive and special. The food was accessible to a cautious eater at our table (the pad Thai was solid and tasty) but also had some dishes that were new to a more adventurous one. This is a fun addition to our global-eating options in town, so next time, we’ll stay instead of grabbing a bag to go.

Extremely rude host. Had no manners. Highly not recommend the place. As a paying customer expect some basic courtesy.

Diner Review №74

Indian eggitarians must try Drunken Noodles 🍜 😋

Diner Review №75

Beef Pad Gra prow. If they are simply care for a thai customer. They would have done better. I simply asked for a mince beef. They ignored it. They would not offer any flixiblilty out of their huge menu. I didnt give a tip for that.

Diner Review №76

Cozy thai restaurant

Diner Review №77

We were excited to try Phatta with our family, but our entire experience was overshadowed by terrible service. Upon arrival, we were told by the waiter there would be a 30-minute wait for a table, which is understandable on a busy night. However, things went downhill from there.

The waiter flatly refused to take our name or phone number for the waitlist. Apparently, their policy is for someone from your party to stand guard for the entire 30 minutes, which is completely ridiculous. This meant one of us had to wait by the entrance, unable to relax or browse the menu while the others potentially missed their turn if they wandered off for a moment.

To top it all off, the waiter's attitude was dismissive and downright rude. There was no apology for the inconvenience, no explanation for the bizarre waitlist policy, just a curt demand that someone hold our place.

Needless to say, we didn't wait the full 30 minutes. The prospect of such a long wait with such inconsiderate treatment was simply not worth it. There are plenty of other restaurants in town that value their customers' time and comfort.

Diner Review №78

I recently visited this restaurant and was quite disappointed with the service. When we asked about table availability, the staff did not greet us with a smile and exhibited a very rude attitude. Additionally, they didn't ask for our phone number to call back and confirm availability. Instead, they asked one of us to wait there for the next half hour to confirm if a table would be available. This lack of courtesy and consideration made for a very unpleasant experience.

Diner Review №79

I recently visited this restaurant and was extremely disappointed by the rude treatment I received. Normally, when a restaurant is crowded, the staff asks you to wait politely and with a smile. However, this was not the case here. The host was incredibly rude, insisting that at least one person from our party had to stay there and that we should come back to meet him after 30 minutes.Why should I need to wait there if I know it takes 30 minutes? I could simply give my name and come back after that time, which is a common practice at many other restaurants. The host acted as if he was doing me a favor, treating me like I was there for free food. This behavior is completely unacceptable and left a very bad impression.I expect better customer service and respect when dining out. I will not be returning to and do not recommend it to anyone who values being treated with basic courtesy.

Thank you !!!! ;)

Diner Review №86

Some of the worst pad thai I’ve ever had. I asked if they could make it less sweet and they said they couldn’t because the sauce is pre-made. I took a chance at it and it was the most sugary and wet pad thai I’ve ever tasted. I’m not sure if their other dishes are better, but I won’t be going back here.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №89

Phattra has been my go-to for Thai food around the area. Their red and green curry are my favorite. I am not a red curry person (usually always go with green) but their red curry is phenomenal- fragrant lemon grass, subtle heat, complimenting the creaminess coconut taste. The portion is generous, I love the variety of veggies they give, and the jasmine rice on side is superb. The quality is good both dining in and take out. Besides their food, they have the best customer device. The staff is attentive, nice, and patient (had problems with ubereats once and the staff is more helpful than Uber eats customer service!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

They have amazing Drunken Noodles 🍜.

Diner Review №93

It is a great looking restaurant. We tried the Grilled Beef Salad, Thai Salad, Green Curry Chicken and Tom Ka Gai. In all the dishes I found the flavors were flat with just a tiny amount of key ingredients like cilantro, fish sauce, lime, kaffir lime, galanga, etc. The grilled beef had almost no char.

Diner Review №94

Went there for dinner recently, love their drunken noodles. It was my second time visiting this place and it doesn’t disappoint. The ambiance is lovely there.

I've gotten thai food all around New Jersey and most of the country. This place is incredible! The food is absolutely authentic with some heat if you really want it. We had several dishes and a few with no spice. The mango sticky rice was not available due to mangos being out of season. We tried the cheese cake that was amazing too. This is one place I will gladly drive 45 minutes just to taste this quality of food again!

Diner Review №106

Today, we had the pleasure of dining at Phattra Thai, a stunningly designed restaurant in downtown Metuchen. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt warmly welcomed by the inviting ambiance, adorned with tasteful gold decor. The dishes were not only fresh and delicious but also complemented perfectly by the Thai tea. The service was equally pleasant, rounding off a fantastic dining experience.

Diner Review №110

This was the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant since moving from NY to NJ 4 yrs ago. The service was terrible, the atmosphere was not welcoming. Never once did anyone check on us except to take our orders and bring our foods. Every table where there were caucasian patrons, they were very attentive to them, laughing and interacting, while we were invisible.
The food is nothing to rave about. I've had much better Thai food in FL and NY.
Stay away from that place if you are non white.
...And parking is horrible.

I can confidently say that I have discovered a true culinary gem in Metuchen – the best Thai restaurant I have ever tried. This hidden gem has become the go-to spot for both my friend and me, and here's why.

From the moment you step into this Thai haven, you're greeted with an inviting ambiance that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The menu is a treasure trove of Thai delights, and having explored almost every corner of it, I can attest that nothing has ever disappointed me.

One standout dish that has secured this restaurant's place as the top Thai spot in my book is their Kee Mao Drunken Noodle. It's not just good; it's the best I've ever had. The perfect blend of flavors, the right level of spice, and the freshness of ingredients make it a true masterpiece. Each bite is a journey through layers of savory goodness, leaving an indelible mark on my taste buds.

What makes this Thai restaurant truly special is the consistency in delivering high-quality, delicious dishes. Whether you're a regular Thai cuisine enthusiast or a first-timer, there's something on the menu to satisfy every palate. The attention to detail in preparation and presentation is evident, reflecting the passion the chefs pour into their craft.

The friendly and attentive staff add to the overall positive experience, making every visit memorable. It's not just about the food; it's about the entire dining experience that keeps drawing us back.

In a town with many dining options, this Thai restaurant stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence. Whether you're a local resident or passing through Metuchen, missing out on this Thai gem would be a culinary travesty.

In conclusion, if you're seeking an unforgettable Thai dining experience, look no further. This restaurant has not only won our hearts but has become the benchmark against which we measure all other Thai establishments. A true treasure in Metuchen's culinary scene.

Five stars without a doubt! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Diner Review №120

Had good time with friends there.
Cozy and warm atmosphere. Good food and good service

Diner Review №121

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed with the food selection and flavor here. I remember calling in my order 8+ years ago before delivery and DoorDash type services came to be so big and I love how they haven’t skimped on their offerings. Love this place and always promises. If you want Thai food, this place is it. Get any one of the curries. Tried chicken Penang curry for the 1st time today and my wife had her usual Chicken Kee Mao (drunken noodles). Can’t recommend this place enough

We had pineapple fried rice and Street noodles, both were very flavorful. It was hard to choose a favorite. I enjoy that the chicken was soft and could be easily cut with a spoon.

Diner Review №126

Enjoyed Pad Cashew with chicken for lunch. Generous portions - just right for lunch. Good crowd for lunch resulting in a bit of noise. Excellent service. We spent a long time talking and were not rushed.

Diner Review №127

I recently dined here and sampled their Green Curry, Drunken Pad Noodles, and Salad with Peanut Sauce. While the ambiance and service were commendable, the chicken in each dish left something to be desired.

The Green Curry had a rich, flavorful broth with a perfect balance of spices(says spicy but wasn't to me) but the chicken was disappointingly tough and lacked the desired tenderness. The Drunken Pad Noodles offered a delightful mix of textures, but the chicken seemed tough too, affecting the overall dish.

On a positive note, ambiance was excellent and staff were kind.

Diner Review №128

Food: we went for lunch. Had soft shell crab, noodle soup, drunken noodles, pad kro pao and green curry. Everything tasted awesome and we loved it. Portions were decent too.

I ordered takeout from this place without any prior experience of knowledge of them. While I had to wait a little longer than anticipated, their food did not disappoint! This is honestly the best Thai fried rice I've had in 10 years!! I will be back again and again.

Diner Review №151

I thought Pad kra pao is a popular Thai stir-fry dish that translates to "holy basil stir fry." This dish was so off that they should call it something else. A simple dish made so wrong. The service and atmosphere was excellent. It was this one dish that disappointed.

I've been here before and still as good as it was last time. I was in the mood for Pad Thai and it was delicious.

My boyfriend made a reservation for us at Phattra as we've been craving Thai food for weeks! It was pretty busy as it was a Friday night so reservations are recommended. We were seated in the back which looked great to have a big group.

We started with the Thai spring rolls and golden curry puff. Both appetizers were the perfect size, 5 spring rolls and 3 curry puffs. For our mains we ordered the pad Thai - chicken for him, tofu for me. The tofu was cooked perfectly with a bit of crisp. Lastly, I ordered a Thai iced tea and I have to say it was the best one I've tried!

We really enjoyed our meals and time here. 10/10 recommend!

Diner Review №161

Their carefully crafted dishes, featuring fresh herbs and ingredients, are a testament to the chef's dedication to authenticity. Whether you're indulging in classic Pad Thai or exploring lesser-known Thai delicacies, a visit to Phattra is a flavorful journey that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you craving more of their delicious Thai fare.

Diner Review №163

We went to this place with kids . After some time they gave us to go boxes and asked us to leave . The waiter was very rude when we asked spoon he was like I can’t go back everytime . I mean we are paying for service . Ofcourse kids are kids not always they are quiet but it was very rude of them to ask us to leave . Everyone knows how kids are they should have put a board that no kids

Diner Review №164

Wish I could give 0 stars. First this restaurant is not at all kids friendly. I was asked to walk out for my son screaming.
And they never tell you that they would ask you to take your food to go as they are about to close while walking in. We are about to eat our food but were given togo boxes saying that they are about to close when we are about to eat, despite them brining food late after waiting for an hr.
Never going back to this place. Staff is very rude and owners are rude than the staff. They just don’t care about customer satisfaction. All they care about is money. Even the food wasn’t served right. We ordered veg dish specifically without egg but added egg in it. And no response upon asking. Worst place to dine in.

Diner Review №165

Affordable lunch specials, ranging from $10 to $15 per person, which offer excellent value & the portion size is on point.

I went with the Drunken Noodles at a spice level of 3, as they have a scale from 1 to 5 for spiciness. It's worth noting that my Indian friend and I both opted for level 3, and while he handled the spice with ease, I found it to be pleasantly spicy. If you're a fan of green chili, jalapeño, or habanero spice levels, level 3 should suit your taste. To complement my meal, I ordered their iced coffee, which was delightful – not overly sweet.

Beyond the food, service is top-notch notch; the staff provided quick and friendly service, and the food was prepared just as fast. Perfectly convenient because free parking nearby had a max limit of 2 hours.

We order Pad Thai, Pad Prikh King, Drunken Noodles, Red Curry and Green Curry and love it every time. Food doesn't usually take too long to be served and staff is very friendly.

Absolutely horrid food and service. Even though we were told there was a 20 minute waiting time, it ended up being more than 40 minutes long. Not only that but there were already 3 empty tables available but for some reason told us to wait longer for another table to be set. It started off well with Thai spring rolls and peach sauce. But the pad Thai noodles were dreadful. It was drowned in fish and tamarind oil and the stench made it even worse. Almost threw up and couldnt last to even finish the whole meal. Never coming back as it's the worst Thai food I've ever tasted 🤮

So:
Ambience is Awesome! Cute place!
Food is good. Found spring rolls lacking the flavor of veggies. Thai curry was excellent.
Service: Eh…we were never asked if we want anything to drink and we were never asked if we want dessert or coffee or tea.
They served and got us the bill. Not use to this kind of service.
I have found other Thai places with same standard of food and good service :)

Large portions, reasonably priced, dietary accommodations and kid friendly options for the picky eaters.

Ordered the shrimp pad Thai for myself, the children's hot dog meal which was cut into cute little octopuses and my husband got the beef pad see ew. This is the 3rd time driving out of our way to eat here and their dishes are always so flavorful but most importantly consistent.

Wish I took pictures but my belly had other priorities. Dined with my vegan brother and sister in law and 1 year old niece and the staff were able to accommodate their dietary modifications. Will be back a million times more!

Diner Review №182

Great food, had a long line wait but the taste was worth it. The waitress ( depending on who you get) is rude. Tried to cancel a to go dish 2 mins after order, was told that was not possible.

Diner Review №183

We love this place. Although a little bit more expensive, it is worth it.

Great food, inside decor is really nice too. A little pricey but thats the norm I think for thai food...I have tried the drunken noodles and the drunken fried rice and loved both. Gets super busy Friday nights with long wait times though FYI!

This was the first time I ate here in person, have always ordered using delivery apps, it is safe to say I have no intention of going and eating there in person
The wait was long.
But I will continue to order from here Because the food is delicious!!!!!

Diner Review №191

I got the drunken noodles and it was the best Thai food I ever had. Will be ordering from here again 👍

Delicious food and nice ambiance

Diner Review №193

Felt pricey. Taste is good but can be better.

Diner Review №194

The ambience of the restaurant was very good. We ordered calamari for appetizers, red curry, drunken noodles with chicken and mushrooms.
Calamari was fresh and went well with the sweet chilli sauce.
Red curry also felt fresh, but the quantity of rice along with the curry was a little less, so had to order extra rice. Overall the taste was very good.
Drunken noodles was really good, was a little different than other places as it had a little smoky flavour to it. Went very well with the drunken noodles. Would highly recommend it.

Metuchen has changed a lot, so many new stores now, this is a very nice Thai restaurant

Bad service and Horrible attitudes are the problem with this establishment. OK I get it that some of the workers did not speak very good English, and you can barely understand them. But common courtesy, and politeness is a universal language and that’s also a language they don’t speak here. They said that they close at 3 PM but when I called at 2:46 all of a sudden they close the kitchen at 2:45. Why does it say that online? What Disney see that on the menu? That was the first red flag. Then the women didn’t even allow me to place an order before she hung up the phone on me HOW RUDE!! Who cares what the food is like is the service sucks!! I won’t dare go in here ever again. They don’t value customers here so my advice spend your hard money elsewhere.

Decent red curry, but the taste and portion aren't anything special. The fried tofu was also fine.

Don’t get the roti Thai style, would not recommend. While it tastes good (a bit too sweet), the portion size was insanely tiny. The roti is the size of a tiny and thin 3in tortilla and they only gave one piece, along with only three spoonfuls of massaman curry. Entire dish was $10.95 and gone in 3 tiny bites, about the equivalent of a sample I’d get while grocery shopping
