Diner Review №2

Have been here a few times and will keep coming back! Service and food is excellent!!

Diner Review №3

Amazing service and great food! I love their lychee Thai ice tea and the pad Thai lunch combo is delicious! It comes with a salad and appetizer with lots of different options to choose from. I tried the shumai and pork gyoza, both very good! Super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №4

Since my favorite Thai restaurant shut down a few years ago… I couldn’t find any other place that makes amazing pad see ew til I found this restaurant! So yummy.

Drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice are my favorite plates 😍 They did not disappoint. Incredible flavors and super filling.

Wonderful food. In my opinion it's the best Thai food in the area! The owner is also very friendly! Highly recommend!

Super nice owner. I can tell she genuinely appreciates her customers and the food is also great. Definitely one of the better thai food restaurants in the area.

Diner Review №12

Best Thai food in the Northern Valley

Diner Review №13

Very good

Diner Review №14

Diner Review №15

Authentic Thai food and good-sized portions. All of our food was delicious! What really stood out was the green curry, the best I've ever had. The food was hot and freshly prepared. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №16

This will always be my favorite Thai restaurant. There is very limited seating and no bathroom, but the food is so good. I’d probably recommend getting delivery/take out for these reason - definitely don’t come with a BIG party because it’s so small inside.

The mango sticky rice is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had and all of the dishes were great. My only suggestion is that the noodle dishes had a lot of meat, I would’ve preferred a more even ratio and noodles and meat. But the food here is amazing!

Diner Review №17

simple place with really tasty food.

Diner Review №18

Hands down the best Thai food I have ever had! Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed!

Diner Review №19

I got the Pork Belly Basil and Thai Iced Tea, and they were both fantastic. The food is authentic and high quality. The owner is also a very sweet lady. I’ll surely be back in the future!

Diner Review №20

Lovely place. Delicious food. Love the noodle dishes which is very customizable to your taste when ordering. My favorite is the pad see ew noodle with tofu medium spicy.

Diner Review №21

We found this amazing spot by mistake and so happy we did.. the food is always delicious and fresh and the owner is the nicest person, she’s always welcoming and accommodating. As a vegan the owner always ensures that my meals are just that.. vegan! After only the second visit she recognized us and made us feel like friends. I would recommend Chok Dee Thai to anyone looking for a casual yet delicious dining experience.

Diner Review №23

Best Thai food in the area

Diner Review №25

The best green curry ever! Pad Thai is also great! Emmy is really friendly and kind, I feel always welcomed whenever I go!

Diner Review №26

Fantastic place with one of the best service I have ever experienced. It's a small mom and pop shop, and I've enjoyed every dish I ordered. Couldn't ask for a better local Thai place.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

got the pad thai and it's good. let me tell you it is spicy! i got the hot thinking the spice level would be overplayed. i definitely struggled but the flavor is great

Diner Review №30

Its a small place but the food and service was excellent! I loved the Tom Yum soup!

Diner Review №31

The best Thai food in the area by far. I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years and it’s consistently delicious.

Diner Review №32

Good food

Diner Review №33

Decent Thai food in town.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Good Thai food in Bergen county. The pad Thai special that I tried was really good. The service is good as well. The place is small but it is very well maintained. I'll be trying this place again in future

Diner Review №36

Best Thai on this side of Arkansas.

Diner Review №37

This is now our family’s favorite restaurant if we can’t make it to sit there and enjoy the delicious food we will do take out and it’s never a disappointment. Emi is the most sweet and caring person ever! They have the best service ❤️

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

Fantastic food, even better service! Got the pad Thai, pad see ew, and boat noodle soup and they were all delicious with huge portions. Also got Thai iced tea which was the perfect ratio of sugar to tea which is rare (usually gets too sweet for me.) But what really stood out was how the lady helping me pick up my order was more than willing to help me carry my order out and even refused to accept a tip since we were only ordering take out! This mom and pop shop is a gem in the neighborhood and we will be sure to come again whenever we're back in the area.

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Amazing Thai food, lovely atmosphere, and kind service. My boyfriend and I came here for lunch and the service was fast and the food was delicious! Got the pad c-u and a noodle soup - so fresh, flavorful, and perfect texture! The Thai tea was also one of the best we had, it had a strong tea flavor which we loved. We’ll be back for sure!

Diner Review №42

Really good! Best Thai place around the area with a comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Diner Review №43

Have been here for a few times with my family, the restaurant is small and cozy but the manager is very friendly and attentive. We have tried a lot of the dishes and they have all been delicious.

Diner Review №44

I didnt much care for the pad Thai I got from here. Was very fishy. Location is super cramped and theres nowhere to wait if your doing take out.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

El menjar està bé, fet al moment i bò, preu correcte uns 15$ per plat.

Diner Review №47

Good taste, Good Price, enough portions, and Kindness
What else do we need more?
Highly recommend. Online ordering is also available 👍

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

I am so glad they survived the pandemic. Best thai food for miles; I order here at least once a month. also, the owners are really sweet :)

Diner Review №51

Very good food. especially very clean. Crab rolls with real crab meat

Diner Review №52

Great place to eat. Food is affordable, especially at lunch. They give you a lot of food for a lunch portion as well as two small sides. The food itself is good, and I feel like it needs a bit more something to it, but overall, it's a great place to grab a bit to eat. Love the decor and staff was friendly.

Diner Review №53

I like them for helping me branch out from ordering drunken noodles every time. They are really nice, and because of that I'm trying things I've never tried before and very grateful.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Great Hot n Soup soup! All their Curries are amazing

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Amazing service!! Even better food!!

Diner Review №58

This food is terrible, it’s definitely not Thai (perhaps someone saw a tutorial on YouTube for 10 minutes and thinks that this is Thai), awful quality though big quantity (perhaps that’s why they received so much positive feedback..). Terrible presentation, no taste, lacking ingredients they state in the menu. I am a bit in shock how much this food is inedible and awful. Just fyi - pad Thai is according to this restaurant just noodles with tomato sauce and chicken.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Wow my co-worker brought me here..
Food and service is amazing!! Price also very nice!!!! Loved noodle soup and fried rice. Thank you for the Thai ice tea:)
No I'm going to this place for thai food

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

Worst Thai place I've ever tried nationwide, absolutely substandard on every dish. We ordered 5 dishes for 4 people and neither of us could eat more than a couple bites. Tastes like old oil and lacking in flavor. We all enjoy Thai food regularly and have tried many places in the region and have this place a try for the first time, never again! It's unfortunate to have to leave such a review but it was honestly disappointing.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Very nice, fresh and authentic. Absolutely good!

Diner Review №66

Always fresh and good food. Device is friendly and respectful. Great Thai options including noodle soups.

Diner Review №67

Fantastic Thai food w/ a huge menu & super friendly owners. A local gem!!

Diner Review №68

Amazing Thai place! They are so so friendly, the food is cooked well, and the portions are generous! Definitely coming back!

Diner Review №69

Amazing experience, get sriracha fried rice. 10/10

Diner Review №70

Always delicious and fresh! My favorites are the chicken in garlic sauce and the chicken pad see ew! It should be called pad see YUM haha

Diner Review №71

Delicious thai flavour! I just wish they had included mushrooms in my tom yum vegetable soup as the menu promised--I was so looking forward to those and even asked to make sure that they had mushrooms. Everything was ready on time though and neatly packed 💚

Diner Review №72

Good Food
Very friendly staff

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

This place has great food and excellent service. If it's not to your spice level they do have hot sauces available on the side. The inside is nice and spacious with the staff following covid protocol. They offer friendly and fast service and are very welcoming and I will definitely come back to try their other menu items!

Diner Review №76

I would give 10 stars if I could! Deliicious food and amazing service. The lady that had our table was so great!
They serve pretty fast, food was hot and decent amount serving.
Excellent and will come back for sure!

Diner Review №77

My favorite go-to Thai restaurant during my lunch break. The owner is very nice and sweet and very receptive. Food is also great quality.

Diner Review №78

One of the best Thai food. Drunken Noodle, Papaya Salad and Street Thai Noodle are my favorite dishes!

Diner Review №79

I had ordered from here before. Food tonight wasn’t fresh. Papaya salad seemed like leftovers from lunch time. Rice that came with the curry looked like rice that are a few days old. (First hand experience- rice that i make at home looked like this after at least 2-3 days.) if it’s not that old, please get a new rice cooker!!

Pork belly dish had pork belly that was very dried up. Pork belly is so fatty, that this probably was cooked over and over to get this chewy.

I debated getting food from here vs Ammata kitchen. Should have gone to the other place. I understand that price have gone up everywhere, but quality should be there, especially since the portions became smaller and prices higher. Very disappointing meal that cost over $100.

Amazing food at quality place

Diner Review №90

There is nothing on this earth more delicious than their curry puffs.

Diner Review №91

Hands down best Thai food in this area.
I know that sounds crazy, about a small Thai restaurant in tiny Norwood/Northvale Bergen County. NJ but it is what I have found to be true. I particularly love their red curry, green curry, ginger salmon, masama curry, and fried tofu appetizer, but order anything and you probably won't be disappointed :)

Diner Review №92

Great local reat Thai cuisine, the food is simply delicious.

I tried their green curry, massaman curry, peanut chicken, they were all perfect.

In addition to that, they are really friendly and nice, it was a great dinner!

Note that now, during Covid, they are only available for pick ups so better be aware of it.

Diner Review №93

inconsistent. 1st time was really good. 2nd time ok. 3rd was really really bad.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

I wish I discovered this restaurant sooner! The food tastes authentic and is delicious. The owner was very nice and gave a free spring roll. Will definitely order again!

Diner Review №96

This place is always reliable when I need fill my thai food cravings. The lady is also the sweetest. Definitely recommend to anyone!

Diner Review №97

Delicious food and exceptional hospitality

Diner Review №98

The Kao Soi Kai keeps us coming back. I don't know what it is but I have to have it once a week. It is so good. So creamy. It's like a big hug. We love it.

Diner Review №99

This is the best place you can have Thai food.

Diner Review №100

It was okay. Def not best Thai I’ve had and not very authentic. Noodles in khao soi weren’t right. Use red pepper flakes instead of chili’s for papaya salad (salad was good other wise!). Pad Thai lacked kick / flavor. Crab fried rice was a bright spot. Summer rolls needed mint.

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

One of the five places in the entire valley that my family orders takeout from. The food here is incredible and they're so nice!

Diner Review №103

Good food, friendly service

Diner Review №104

Good thai food. The tomyom soup, pad kee maw with levels of spice, pad see yew for those who don't like spice and the thai fried frice are something I would suggest.

Diner Review №105

good price, portion was good, good customer service. But Patai and fried rice taste was terrible. Hope it gets better.. ..

Diner Review №106

Not only is the food fresh and delicious the owner has to one of the nicest most appreciative people I have met!

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Was so bad. Chicken was SO salty, pad thai tasteless, crab fried rice tasted rotten....never ever again.(not to mention, expensive)

Diner Review №109

Chok Dee is the absolute best price, quality and service especially during pandemic. ABSOLUTE BEST. Keep up the good work.

Diner Review №110

This place is great! food is very authentic and delicious. One of the better Thai restaurants I have been to. Prices are normal, and everything is absolutely delicious! You can also control the spiciness level in most of the dishes (just ask for it to be less/more spicy). I Definitely recommend this place! They have been closed for a while due to COVID-19 but are open now. They are super clean and careful with the whole situations. Support local restaurants!!

Diner Review №113

Consistently good Thai food made by people who genuinely seem to care about what they're making. That being said if you're looking for local delivery you're SOL. They do have Door Dash but of course that comes with a fee. If you're looking to eat there just beware there are a LOT of rules. No drinks of any kind. They even list them for you just in case you didn't get it. If you're used to splitting checks beware. No more than a two card split. Lastly I'm pretty sure they also have a max person per table rule. I've never eaten there but I suspect if you try to break the rules the woman who works the front room will mete out justice swiftly

Diner Review №114

amazing food and very fast attention

Diner Review №115

Great food here. Friendly atmosphere

Diner Review №121

Small Thai restaurant on a plaza with parking. Good Thai food. No toilet.

Diner Review №122

As a regular consumer of Thai food, I didn’t find their dishes as tasty as I was expecting. I have had much better tasting Thai dishes in other places around NJ.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

The food was great. Just was in Thailand this past summer, and it tasted almost the same. Loved the Thai tea. Definitely was missing the Thai green tea though.

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

Highly recommend this cozy place with great food. Owner is very attentive.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Just as I remembered it! Perfect! Haven't been here in awhile and everything tasted the same as it did a few years ago. They even remembered me! Will definitely be back again!

Diner Review №129

This place is wonderful my favorite plate is Sriracha fried rice and Thai street noodle soup. They definitely have to open more restaurants.

Diner Review №130

Just ok.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

The food is absolutely delicious and owners are the kindest and most generous people. They are welcoming and frequently ask how we are and check in on how our meals are.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Very cute Thai Restaurant. Sweet owners, great food, great prices. One of my favorite local spots (coming from Closter). A little small for large groups but excellent for small to mid-size parties. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

Small place but great taste! Lunch menu includes small side dishes, too. Server is friendly and recommended well for my daughter.

Diner Review №137

Good lunch deal to go, but no restroom for the customer

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Good place for quick service. Not a fancy place but food was good. Definitely recommend a takeout than sit down . We had Sriracha fried rice and Thai street noodle soup. Both were good enough. It's an average place for Thai food for locals

I LOVE Chok Dee!

I work in Northvale, so I frequent this Thai restaurant for lunch.
Online ordering is available which is super convenient for a quick pick up.

Service is usually pretty snappy, but the dine in space is very limited.

As for the food, one of my favorite things about this place is their ginger dressing; it is to die for! Lunch specials come with a small side garden salad and choice of appetizer like a spring roll or dumpling, etc. All app choices are great; you can't go wrong. Also the portions are spot on.

Lunch special options are great. My usual is the Pad See Ew and you can choose your protein and spice level.

If you enjoy Thai food, definitely give this place a try!

Diner Review №157

My go to place for Thai food!

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Be warned! This is not an upscale, classy restaurant! Also, to get to the restroom, you will need to walk around the building to the back (because you can't walk through the kitchen).

That all being said,... this IS a fantastic restaurant with fantastic food and an amazing owner who is always, I mean ALWAYS attending to customer needs. The owner is extremely nice and kind-spirited. On a hot day, she even brought out a fan and placed facing me to keep me cool. I mean if the food was bad here, I would probably still go occasionally just to support the owner.

Now.. The food... I have ordered about 35-40 different items off of their menu. None of items on the menu are bad, let alone, average. Every item on their menu is on friggin point! I have never been to a restaurant where I was impressed with every single thing I ordered. Even their plain house soup is great.

You MUST try their Sriracha Fried Rice!
You MUST try their Corn Fritters!
You MUST try their Crispy Duck!

This is a Thai Place and I haven't mentioned Pad Thai, why? Because they aren't a great Thai Restaurant,... They are a great Restaurant in general.

This place is highly, highly recommended.

Better than Pimaan in Emerson! Better tasting and quantity of food. It's just that it's a much small place. Sort of a whole in the wall. But really good food and portion sizes. Highly recommended.
