Food is OK, not the best Thai I've had.
Tends to be expensive.

Diner Review №3

great food, open late! original and authentic everything is delicious

Diner Review №4

I was in the mood for Thai and decided to try someplace new (to me) on UberEats, so glad I chose Gub Khao Thai! Very flavorful with the right amount of spice and a good balance between noodles, veggies and protein in the Pad See Yew. I also enjoyed the spring rolls, Thai Iced Tea and Taro Custard.

I got the Pad See Yew early bird special for dinner which came with a side, dessert and drink for $27 (not including delivery) which I think is very fair for the amount of food and in comparison to similarly sized meals at other Thai places. This was enough for two, in my opinion.

The food was also well packed and had no issues in transit for delivery.

Diner Review №5

Ordered food here, DISGUSTING!
Noodles were all chopped up like someone chewed them and spit them out, asked for spicy medium and they were so hot no one could eat them!

Diner Review №6

I doubt that this restaurant serves halal food

Diner Review №7

We love gub khao! We ordered a vegan pad kee mao & udon basil and they called us back to make sure that we were okay to eat egg as the udon has egg in it - so nice of them!!

Diner Review №8

Horrible, I enjoyed my food while eating however made another order and it was incorrect.. I called to let make her aware of her mistake instead she wanted to argue and over talk me.. no matter what if a company can't apologize they will no longer get my business

Diner Review №9

The food is good. But they tend to raise the spice level too much during take-outs. Maybe they need to buy a better phone for taking order or they need to listen better. Store is small and a little bit of a mess in the back.

Diner Review №10

Absolutely outstanding. I have only ever had takeout (I cannot judge anything else besides the food quality). I've been to Thailand about 10 times (probably close to half a year in total both in Bangkok and the southern resort areas) and this is the best Thai food I have had in the US except maybe for a spot or two in Manhattan and Queens. Maybe- it's close. One cautionary note- their spice levels are relative to the dish (not some absolute scale where you have to order everything extra hot just to taste it). Medium is the spice level it should be. So for a normally spicy dish medium is going to be knock your socks off hot (if you aren't used to Thai spicy), whereas for a normally mild dish medium is going to be very (appropriately) mild.

Diner Review №11

Very delicious flavors. Definitely want to come back and try more. The prices are on the higher end but the flavor of the food speaks to that. The drunken noodles were very good and satisfying. The curry puffs are a tasty choice. During lunch hours, they do give a free small Thai tea which you don't see anywhere really. Thai tea is a highly recommended and delicious choice on a hot summer day. 06/2024

Diner Review №12

Great Halal Thai option. Dine in or take out both are always good.
Tom Kha soup is always recommended with any other dish.

Diner Review №13

FINALLY good drunken noodles in NJ! The sauce is PERFECT and the medium spice is great. Got takeout tonight and can't wait to have it more in the future.

Diner Review №14

My family and I enjoyed the food. The Pad Cashew Nuts was delicious! My kids liked their chicken skewers, Thai fried rice, bubble tea and lemonade. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and great customer service.

Diner Review №15

Great authentic Thai food very nice Staff. Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №16

The food tastes amazing! I ate red curry with tofu and drunken noodles with tofu. Was very impressed! 4 stars was given because it didn’t have too much tofu (5 pieces) and the rice quantity is too little. I finished all the rice and still had 1/3 the curry left. For the taste I would definitely recommend and come back!

Diner Review №17

We really wanted to like this place. The aesthetic is modern and feels very Thai. The food however was a miss. First they got our order wrong and secondly it just wasn't good. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) and asked to get it "Thai Hot" but it wasn't authentic Thai spice. They basically just covered the noodle in chili flakes, which ended up just being crunchy.

Diner Review №18

I ordered chef’s recommended Pad Cha Talan and requested the server to swap squid and mussels with chicken and to make it a spice level of medium. I confirmed that the dish would be dry. And so I placed the order. When I got home and started eating, my mouth burnt cause the spice level was more than 10/10. Also, there were no string beans and the dish was liquidy. I had to discard the entire dish after 2 bites cause the heat was way too much. The only flavor the dish had was that of chillies. Very unfortunate cause I went looking at reviews and ended up throwing it away and starving! Hopefully the restaurant manager or owner reads this and refunds my money.

Diner Review №19

This place is definitely a solid 3 stars. We got to go from here abd everything was pretty decent. The portion size was decent but wished they weren't so stingy with the rice. Thai food goes so well with those white jasmine rice! More rice should be given for sure.

We had the early bird special yellow curry with tofu. This came with a appetizer, drink and a dessert. The curry decent but thought it wasn't as flavorful as other Thai places. We picked the taro custard and that was delicious! They forgot our spring rolls with our to go order which was very unfortunate.

Basil udon with chicken. A bit on the sweeter side but very yum. Loads of flavor.

Pad Kha Prow with beef. Very garlicky and basilly. Just how I like it. However a bit sweet and the beef was too dry.

Overall this is a solid spot. I wouldn't mind coming here to try more items

Diner Review №20

They serve old food

Diner Review №21

My husband went to pickup the food for our order, the floor was wet since it was a rainy day and he slipped upon entering. He just had a knee surgery, and the lady saw him slip and ignored him not even bothering to make sure that he was ok. No signs of a wet floor or anything. This is our first time ordering from this restaurant, and for this reason only we will never get food from here again.

Diner Review №22

Real authentic thai food & excellent service.

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

They provide halal chicken, duck & beef. You need to mention them. And the owner is very friendly.

Diner Review №25

The basil fried rice is amazing here. Food always tastes fresh and the service is great. Also recommend the red curry (if you can handle a kick) and the curry puffs.

Diner Review №26

If you looking for the authentic Thai food in New Jersey, Gub Khao Thai is the best answer!

P.S. Don’t mess with their spicy level if you can’t handle it.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

Ordered with Uber Eats & food arrived so quickly! We got pad see ew & pad Thai, both were delicious & it came with plenty of food so we have extra for lunch tomorrow. My sister orders from them frequently & loves their soups - service is always quick for her as well! We will definitely be returning customers!

Diner Review №29

Food is decent. Had the panang curry with shrimp. Asked for a bit more than normal spicy and it came back inedible. When I complained she blamed me lol. Ambience is decent and homey. They do have a halal sign but they do serve pig on the menu.

Diner Review №30

Food is delicious!!. First time here and ordered Vegetarian dishes. We will definitely be ordering from here again.

Diner Review №33

Really good chicken basil fried rice! I wanted it spicy and it definitely was. The spring rolls tasted fresh and were made well thank you

Diner Review №34

Nice Thai spot in a busy area. Stopped in to have very late lunch/early dinner while driving through. Food has good taste and appealing presentation. The curry puffs were some of the better ones I have had! Decoration is nice and the waitress was attentive but kept space for us to enjoy. Would definitely come back to try different dishes.

Diner Review №35

The people are amazing. And the food is incredible. The pork salad is absolutely mouthwatering, and the incredible selection of thai dessert is just muah chefs kiss

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Cozy Thai restaurant with excellent service. I've tried the basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, and udon basil noodles. They have a picture menu which helped me choose new dishes!

Food was a bit greasy and the boba in my bubble tea was overcooked.

None the less, stop by and support a local business!

Diner Review №39

Good food but very small place.
Authentic food.

Diner Review №40

Not recommended. Their chicken is soo dry and didn’t smell good.

Diner Review №41

very delishes very testy

Diner Review №42

Amazing food, have gotten Red Curry here multiple times and loved it!

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Authentic Authentic Authentic!!!! Ordered from here on door dash on a whim and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Udon Noodles very spicy and were off the charts. They definitely have found a new customer. Prices are exactly where they should be and the portions were generous. I’m really looking forward to ordering again.

Diner Review №45

Solid good Thai food. Ordered via GH, came quickly, tasted great, kids loved it too. Dumplings and spring rolls we ordered were NOT some frozen bought premade stuff and they tasted great too.
Food was not super heavy or greasy. Kids loved it too.
Our new go-to for Thai

Diner Review №46

They are good but they serve both halal and non halal together like i don't wanna go to any restaurants where they serve pork and halal together though they guarantee us that they cook everything in a different utensil and different place so we ate their padthai and vege sauté with jasmin rice ....food was 7 on 10
A bit salty but good....pad thai was kinda sweet and vege saute was salty though we enjoyed.
But for the pork thing we are not gonna visit again for sure.

Diner Review №47

Excellent food, so delicious. Real Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №48

Amazingly yummy! Very high quality ingredients. Amazing service and owners.

We had:

Curry puffs, which were very flavourful with a lovely hand-made dipping sauce. They were perfectly crispy not greasy at all.

Fried red snapper with chilli oil. The fish was cut off the bone and served in a crispy version of its self. The fish was really well cooked. Perfectly crispy. Deliciously spicy and sweet. Under the fish was a nice amount of broccoli and carrots and more spicy-sweet sauce.

Tom Yum Soup, which was classic, perfectly balanced, with lots of protein. We had chicken. Came with a nice amount of chunky fresh mushrooms. Beautiful blast of sour umami. Really good example of this soup.

Pineapple fried rice. Very delicate and was super tasty. It had a good amount of plump shrimp, pineapple and some tomatoes.

A really lovely afternoon.

Diner Review №49

Ordered grub hub from them. I don’t know if the skimp out on 3rd party orders but I barely got any food. The drinks that came with the lunch special was maybe 6 oz at best and took too sips to drink. The Thai coffee was okay the Thai tea was pretty good. The bubble tea had no ice and was warm( I put ice and was okay but the bubbles were mush like pudding) The food was mediocre. Saw previous reviews that it was the best authentic Thai food in NJ. Idk if I would want to call this authentic. For these prices(I understand grub hub charges extra) I expected so much more. Not sure if it was a one time thing but I’m very disappointed and will prob be not returning. Only redeeming item was the tom yum soup which was great. Plenty good Thai places around…honestly.

Diner Review №50

This place is one of the most authentic Thai food restaurants I’ve ever been to. Great and quality food and excellent service. The owner told us that they import most of ingredients from Thailand and it makes the food even more Authentic. I’m so glad I found this place. My husband and I will definitely return back.

Diner Review №51

Very authentic Thai restaurant - there is also special menu on weekends. Not your typical pad thai/curry takeout establishment.

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

I specifically asked the waitress that I did not want any sugar or anything sweet added to the dish, I wanted it spicy. Then when it was served, it was very sweet, not just a little sweet. But the waitress kept telling me that nothing sweet was added and not willing to fix it. The person I was with, tried it, and also confirmed it was sweet. Very disappointed.

Diner Review №54

The most disgusting Thai Food we ever had, we asked her to make very mild green curry and still she gave us super spicy curry. They used those round frozen carrots in my pad Thai. I usually eat Thai in purpose of consume as much as fresh vegetables I can but this lady fed me all stale frozen veggies.
Do not order food

Diner Review №55

The best Thai food I’ve had in northern NJ

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Way too overpriced for the quantity of food. $8 for a soup that's the size of a $4 soup at another restaurant. I didn't even get gold flakes. I thought it came with rice at least but no.

You have to spend around $30/person for lunch to feel full. About $20 max in other restaurants with similar quality, and dine-in experience.

Gave it to me in Styrofoam too. Correction: I meant they served on plastic plates with different colors. On the bright side, it felt like my kitchen.

Diner Review №58

Amaazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great 👍🏻 Always a great spot to get great food. 10 from 10!

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

I like the atmosphere, the decor of the restaurant, and the cutlery; it's very calm and cozy. I tried green curry to-go. Came back the next day for the early dinner specials (4-8 pm) to try the thai dumplings, curry puffs, panang curry, taro custard, and iced coffee. There was nothing that I didn't like; everything was good. 😊

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Very disappointed. All these high ratings don't make any sense. Their version of hot is nothing but heat, no flavor. Crab fried rice looked and tasted like it was canned crab. It should be removed from the menu. Tiger steak was like eating a pepper flavored sponge.

Diner Review №63

The only place I trust in NJ! Real authentic Thai food. I normally go to Queens in Manhattan to get authentic Thai food, I don’t think I need to go that far anymore.

Diner Review №64

Delicious Pad see eww, I also ordered steak which I forgot to tell them not to over cook so that was my bad. Other than that a solid takeout spot.

Diner Review №65

Such a pleasant find! We truly loved everything on the menu -- from drinks, appetizers, entrees to coffee! Papaya salad was favorite.

Diner Review №68

I love this place. Service is good, the food is amazing 🤩 and the atmosphere is peaceful.

Diner Review №69

I had Pad Kee Mao, (Drunken Noodles) with Tofu lunch special.
It wasn't bad. But it's not worth $16, when other restaurants charge $11. So three stars instead of four.

Diner Review №70

Food was amazing! Comparable to my favorite thai places in NYC. If you want thai food in the area, definitely order from here! The green curry, red curry, pad see ew, thai dumplings & thai spring rolls were all incredible! (if you don’t like spicy stuff be sure to put it in the notes when ordering or tell them not to make it spicy!!)

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

We drove for 1 hour to eat here.
And it's worth it.
The best Thai food in NJ so far.
I would come back.

Diner Review №73

The food was AMAZING! I love thai food and I’ve tried it at so many places and this one was THE BEST ! The atmosphere was enjoyable and our waitress WAS super friendly!
Highly recommend, definitely will go back :)

Diner Review №74

The food was delicious. Everything was seal including the drinks. Will order again.

Diner Review №75

Great place, tasty food, cute ambience, friendly personel who make good recommendations and can customize the dish to your needs. Price is what it should be. Great little place!

Diner Review №76

Blown away by their Tom Kha soup and the other dishes were delicious as well. Has a rather authentic feel and flavors were on point. I loved the glass noodles and my partner devoured the Pad See Ew.

Diner Review №77

Exactly what Paterson was missing!! My favorite is the shrimp rolls and pineapple fried rice, as well as the Jasmine green tea. Not only is the food yummy, but the owner's customer service is out of this world. She is such an angel it'll make you want always want to drop by and support local business :)

Lady super nice and lovely and the food is amazing best experience to be honest

Diner Review №81

Very nice Thai food i had after a long time

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

Get the Thai fried rice with the spicy level you like. Really really good! I only ordered in vegetable and it was still really good! Really like the ice coffee too!

Diner Review №84

The best Pad Thai in New Jersey!!! Try this..

Diner Review №85

This food was horrible I ordered the pan thai with shrimp it was disgusting! If I could leave less than one star I would. I called to try to speak to them to rectify the situation and they refused

Diner Review №86

The Pad Thai Noodles are horrible.

Diner Review №87

This place is so good! This was only my second time ordering from them. Last time, I got the red curry and if you ask for spicy they GIVE IT! So happy that a good Thai place is so close to my job now! No more paying 10 dollars in delivery. Great taste and such sweet service!

Diner Review №88

Finding this restaurant was like finding a rose in the desert! The food was AMAZING. But that wasn't the best of it. The biggest and most pleasant surprise was that the restaurant staff was KIND, COURTEOUS, & RESPECTFUL!!! What a novel idea for a member of the hospitality industry. Hopefully, some of your struggling (food service) neighbors will figure this out. Yes, I'm talking to you @sajrestnj -

Diner Review №89

Nice little Thai gem in Paterson. Good food, fast, friendly service. So happy there is a good thai option here in main street Paterson, definetly a must try.

Diner Review №90

The soup noodles from this place is amazing and if I had to bet, very authentic! (I have never been to Thailand.) The food is unique and so much more flavorful and umami than all the other Thai restaurants in northern Jersey that I've tried (and some in NYC). It changed my perception of Thai food! Khanom Jeen Nam Nglao and Khao Soi are highly recommended!! The drumstick was huge for the Khao Soi! See picture. Staff is super bubbly and super friendly. <3 We got complimentary drinks every time we ordered and these were unique and delicious as well! Love this place!

Diner Review №91

First time ordering delivery from here and we will be back! My husband had the chicken wings and crab fried rice (medium). He enjoyed them and I had a taste to confirm they were yummy. The star was my green curry dish with beef (very hot). A lot of places say things are spicy but they never meet my spice expectations. This was HOT!!! But in the best way. I could still enjoy the delicious flavors but it really brought the heat. Great experience.

Diner Review №92

Food was excellent....place is quaint and cozy!!

Diner Review №93

Takeout for lunch review.
Soup noodle dish liquid and solid components are separate, very big plus for the care. Good quality of ingredients based on color, texture, and flavor. When that Khao soi soup hit my mouth, I could not stop. Better than Tuco's first hit of Heisenberg Blue. The larb was herbaceous and inviting. You'd think bite after bite of flavor would get boring but it's not. I cannot wait to try this place dining in because if the takeout slaps this hard, the dine-in must be heaven.

Diner Review №94

This place is so cute. Food and service is awesome. My favorite dish is Basil fried rice.

Diner Review №95

Beef and chicken is halal!! Great authentic Thai food! 5 stars on service!

Diner Review №96

Their food is authentic and delicious! It’s that best pad thai I’ve had since I got back from Thailand. Love this place! Would definitely recommend!

Food was Delish

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

AMAZING authentic Thai food must try here. So delicious. I’m glad I found this place. Udon noodle was so good. Curry puff was amazing. Everything was so nice. I can give more than 5 stars

Diner Review №101

Found this tiny gem in South Paterson and the restaurant did not disappoint! This is the only authentic Thai resto in the North Jersey area! Parking might be tough but it is worth it.

Diner Review №102

I ordered delivery from them recently and it was delicious! My husband and I ordered the pad Thai, pad see ew, and Thai iced tea and it was all awesome and the food still came piping hot. They even sent us a small green tea to try that was very good as well. We would definitely order from them again.

Diner Review №103

This place was such a wonderful surprise. Its hard to find really good Thai food in the area so I was so thrilled to find this location on a whim. The food is delicious and well portioned. The curry puffs are flaky and flavorful and the yellow curry was so rich and comforting I was sad when we finished it. My sister was also over the moon about the pad thai for being a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. This is definitely going to be a go-to in the future. I'm telling you all the foodie hidden gems are in Paterson.

Diner Review №104

Excellent quality and flavor. So happy to have found this good local Thai restaurant. The medium spice level was definitely more than expected. Looking forward to ordering again sometime. Super nice people and delivery service too.

Diner Review №105

The food, desserts and drinks are delicious. I will definitely come back again and recommend them. The inside decorations are very nice and gives an outside appearance with all the flowers, which are cute for pictures. The staff is also very nice.

Food, desserts and drinks were freaking GREAT. The place looks fabulous and the attention was top. I really recommend this place specially since they are new. Give it a try!

Diner Review №114

When a restaurant actually makes food spicy when you ask for it>>>>
I loved this food so much I ordered the pad see ew and yellow curry. The delivery was quick and the packaging was secure. They even threw in a free drink that tasted amazing. 10/10 will definitely go in person with friends soon!

Diner Review №115

All dishes were super tasty .It’s really authentic thai food.I strongly recommend.

Diner Review №116

I ordered pad thai and it was extremely dry with no flavor.

Diner Review №117

Totally delicious and very authentic Thai food! This place is definitely worth a visit. They pay lots of attention to the details and have a bunch of northern Thai dishes I’ve never tried - khanom jeen nam ngiao is the one in the picture. The service is also quick and super friendly. Both owners are from Chiang Mai!

Diner Review №118

Authentic Thai food that was loved by the whole family. Seems like a new business and we will be doing a lot of take-outs in the coming weeks from here 😋

Their veggie dumplings are the best I've ever had! Great service too - will definitely be a regular here (:

Diner Review №123

Amazingly authentic Thai food! I saw this lil' Thai place in the middle of Paterson and was intrigued to try it. Let me tell you, this did not disappoint. The Green Curry is sensational, the Pad Thai was flavorful and delicious and the spring rolls were fantastic. Definitely a great find! Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore different Asian cuisine in this area.

Diner Review №124

Loved this place! Authentic Thai cuisine with a wide range of selection. Food was so great. We ordered crab fried rice, Massaman curry and Rad na. Awesome! Definitely will return to this place and recommend to others.

Diner Review №125
