Casual, cash-only BYOB eatery offering curries, noodles & other standard Thai fare.
It was so delicious! The seasoning was perfect, and the price was reasonable.
The pad thai had the right amount of spiciness and paired wonderfully with the peanut flavor.
The Thai basil stir-fry had perfectly cooked vegetables that were crunchy, and the meat was tasty as well.
The Thai latte was also good, and the tom yum soup was so delicious it was gone in no time.
The owner was very friendly, and the restaurant's atmosphere was clean and pleasant.
I’ll definitely go back to eat there again.
Awesome place. Visited twice. It accepts only cash. In the last visit we ordered chili cashew nut with tofu and rice. This is my favorite. Very delicious. Ambience is good. Location is very good. The price is reasonable when compared with quantity and quality. In the last visit while ordering the chili cashew nut curry we missed to mention tofu and so we got the default chicken. We being vegetarians we explained the situation to the person in charge. Though it was close to the closing time and we were the last customer, the person in charge was kind enough to replace our food with tofu.
Incredible! Some of the best Pad Thai I have ever had! Shrimp were perfectly cooked portions were large and the price was such a deal! I would have actually paid double the price for this dish! Thai tea delicious and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Get the Pad Thai ask for it spicy and thank me later!
Excellent food. The cashew chicken is spicy and wonderful. The green curry is great too!
The server was kind and able to customize our food!
Appreciate the service
Very Nice food! Authentic Thai dishes. Great in winter season. I love that they offer warm and hot water
Bland
Very good. The food is very good
So bland, not good, don’t order
Good food, good service
Dobre jedzenie i dobry serwis
Very lowkey and underrated in the neighbourhood. Lots of vegetarian options and both their curries- sundried red and green are amazing! Must try
Very friendly and harmonious place. Everytime I'm on a business trip, I go there.
Very Nice food! Authentic Thai dishes. Great in winter season. I love that they offer warm and hot water
Great food! Love the pad thai!
Best place to go to to try Thai food for the first time 😌
Petit restaurant très calme. La cuisine est délicieuse et la dame est très gentille! Le tout pour un très bon prix
Reminded me of homemade comfort food and the server was lovely too.
Recommendation - spicy Thai basil fried rice

Khun Toop was so kind and gave us great recommendations! great food and service!
This is a hidden gem of Thai food in the area. I have tried a few places and this is by far the best you will find locally.
Great food, I’m a regular.
Food is fantastic and open late, I come here as I stay nearby. Host lady is very kind
I would give 0 stars for the service if I could.
The petite woman behind the counter is extremely rude. I used to come here every day as it is a 2 minute walk from my office, but never again. There is much better Thai to be found in the area– without the extra attitude. 🙄
The food and service were amazing! I got the Papaya salad and green curry and it was delicious. Recommended!! :)
I’m sorry I rarely write negative reviews but we tossed our whole order. 2 soups green curry and noodles. Pretty sure it got us all sick. Do not get the pork and noodles tasted similar to salty dog food and pretty sure the pork was rancid. Never ordering from here again.
Average Thai place. Not bad. Food was slightly salty.
Pad Thai was ok. Sweeter side
Agree. Worst Thai food ever. Calling it Thai is a disgrace for the country’s cooking. Been to Thailand many times, the only Thai in the food is the names.
Ate in and they didn’t even have fish sauce or fresh chillies. No taste, beans nearly raw, Tom Yum not even made with sour paste.
The most flavorful part was actually the white rice.
These good reviews must be paid for. Honestly the worst Thai I’ve ever had. We ordered Tom Yum soup, crispy spring rolls, cold spring vegetable rolls, two different noodle dishes, two curries, basil chicken, and the papaya salad. Most things either lacked flavor or tasted bizarre. Texture seemed like the dishes had been frozen and then heated up. Rubbery. Also they were 30 minutes late for our pick up and didn’t offer us anything to make up for the wait. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
The food isn’t horrible but it’s Thai food being this bland takes effort.
its in a tough spot for parking (found some behind the restaurant), but service and food were great . Deliveries always are A+
Really good food, reasonably priced, and amazing service!
Restaurant is very plain and simple but the food and service was very good, and not expensive.
These folks have the worst attitude with customers. Don't bother. I made a reservation for 4 people at 7:30 only for them to tell me I couldn't eat at their place after making the trip to their store. Worst customer service.
The food is good and plentiful for it's price point. Good but not the best pad Thai. A little more savory kick would really bring out the flavors and chicken was a little tough. Usually a lime is included but not the one time I tried. Would still recommend as service was good.
Called them to order a veggie curry noodles, they instead made green curry. During pick up, they argued that I didn’t mention noodles, but later agreed to make noodles.
When I come home, I see chicken in the green curry noodles. They neither know how to how to take an order nor make the food you order without mistake.
Horrible customer service. Does not respect customer wishes. Does not deliver if they do not feel like it. Will cancel your order without notice or asking.
Update 6/3: not sure if they have a new chef but the pad thai we had tonight were very bland and the portions got bigger. Very disappointed.
Ordered for delivery and the pad thai with shrimp and seafood combination thai fried rice were very delicious. Food came on time too. Tried a few thai places in the area and this is now my favorite one.
They allow you to pay via card when you spend more than 15 bucks. Food was great and the staff were really friendly!! We had the green curry, pork pad thai and the mango sticky rice and all of it was delicious. Ran into a regular there who recommended the pad see ew and the pineapple fried rice, so I know we weren’t the only ones loving the food. We ordered takeout and it was still delicious! Very much recommended!
Staff was friendly and fast. The food was super blah. Had basil beef and tasted no basil. The meat was like stew meat. I am a Thai food fan and this place was well under my standard. Won't go again.
I like the food here and the drinks as well. Dine in several times. Make sure you have cash
Their Pad Thai, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, chicken satay, and curry puffs have been our go-to for years. Love this place.
One of the best authentic Thai restaurants in the area. The curries (red,green, masaman) are delicious
Worst pickup experience food tastes so bad I’m a vegetarian and felt like something else never going back and please avoid going to this restaurant
This place has great food. It food took a little longer than I expected to be prepared, but it was absolutely worth it.
Omg the food was amazing I got the red curry 🍛 🔥 let me tell you, it is so good, I highly recommended 😋.
The chef 👨🍳 👌🏻! .
More like 4.5. Got takeout. Very happy with food, portions, speed. No plates, utensils, chopsticks. Also maybe some chili paste?
I had the lunch special from this place. Their food tastes really good. Green curry and the drunken noodles are my favorite. Their portion sizes are very small for lunch special.
Edamame was some of the best I've had ..summer rolls were fresh! Delish!
Great food!

Great value. Constantly good.
Tasty food
Delicious
IMO , The best Thai food I ever ate in NJ ..
Late night dinner in Hoboken, food was delicious.
Absolutely delish.
I came here with my 3 cousins on New Year's Day after spending the night in the city for NYE. THANK GOD that this restaurant was open, because we were starving!
Now, we know Weehawken is a wealthy area, but the corner at which this restaurant was located seemed like a prime area because we saw Lamborghinis, R8s, Bentleys, all pass by continuously while we were there eating for about an hour. It was a great sight to see! The food was spectacular. We all ordered thai iced tea & spring rolls to start with, and both were freaking delicious. Between the 4 of us, we ordered 2 tofu pad thais and 2 drunken noodles. All of it was so so tasty.
From the outside, the place looks like a hole in the wall, but the place is truly amazing. Definitely recommend!
Major disappointment. Fried rice had no flavor, veggies, or basil. Will not be coming back. Very bland food. Not worth almost $30 for 2 chicken dishes.
My coworkers and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the restaurant’s relaxed dining area. Great food and service. Will definitely return back!
I was really excited when I found a 4-star rated Thai restaurant in this area but was quickly disappointed when the food arrived. We ordered via GrubHub at 6:30 ish on a Thursday night, and it did come 20 minutes before its quoted time, so I'll give them that.
I ordered the jungle chicken wings for an app, which were actually not bad. Salty, sweet, sour, garlicky - it was the perfect app. I was really craving some noodles and I haven't found a place in NJ that does a good Pad Thai so I decided to go with something safe like drunken noodles. What was not safe was my choice of protein. I decided to go rogue and get meatballs and they literally tasted like frozen meatballs from BJ's. I know because I bought a giant bag of them a few months ago, got really sick of it and only just recently finished them - so the moment I bit into one of those meatballs, I already knew what it was. Aside from the wholesale clubhouse meatballs, I felt the portion was kind of small, compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. There were barely any noodles. It was probably half veggies and half noodles, which I kind of appreciate but am also kind of mad at at the same time. Yes, I do need to eat more veggies, but if I’m ordering takeout, that is my chance to be unhealthy and I want all the noodles I can get. Also, the flavor was more like pad see ew (non spicy and on the sweeter side) so if you want something spicy, this ain’t it.
Maybe I didn’t order the right dish but the meatball situation is unforgivable. If I do order from here again, I definitely know what I am not ordering.
Excellent Thai food. Free delivery! My favorite local Thai spot.
I ordered from them over 6 months ago and just ordered from them recently. Their quantity has gone down so much. The food portions have been severely reduced. Secondly, the food quality was not too good. The Pad Thai was old and sitting around all day. It was dry. I could tell it was not fresh. What is going on? I enjoyed food from this place once before. And the Chinese man who took my order online did not take my debit card info, then made the order difficult to get. It was a major miscommunication. I will not be ordering again from here.
Got delivery. Food was delicious - fresh ingredients and good flavors.
Excellent service the food was delicious thank you Hi-So Thai
I did not receive my order. When I called to inquire the woman that picked up the phone was very rude, she said she was busy and asked me to speak to the delivery driver. I called the delivery driver and he did not pick up. I spoke to the woman at the restaurant again and said he delivered the food and that since he delivered to my apartment before she doesn't think he made a mistake. However, this was not the first time he mistakenly left food at the wrong apartment and I have text messages to prove it. The customer service is so poor, I will never order from there again.
Fantastic place for takeout, I recommend their pad thai.
Your average Thai food restaurant. Can’t say the food (pad Thai noodles and summer rolls) tasted very fresh or authentic. It was ok, nothing special.
Pretty decent!!.
Honestly, food is really great. I couldn’t find the place as Hi so Thai.
This is an update review. Have been coming here with my boyfriend for at least 3 years. Today the lady working there with blonde hair , who refuse to give her name, treated us terrible. I ordered take out and usually I even tip for that. However she made us very uncomfortable over a little tear in this $20 bill . Honestly I’ve never been treated so rude , especially for something so petty. I won’t come back here if she is there. Who wants to be started at so rudely and be talked to so rudely over such small things. My boyfriend wasn’t happy about this and went back to give a different bill and still not even an apology. Consider to take your business somewhere else where people working in “hospitality” knows what that actually means.
Food quality is really horrible. Veggies smells bad. Had order curry there was no taste at all. Quantity is also not at all good. I would say BIG NO to this place.
Worst food ever I must say. Past 3 weekends I have been ordering chicken drunken nudles and tofu drunken noodles. There is no taste. Too salty. Food smell stale. Called multiple times to address the issue but never picked up. When I went to pick up food and addressed the issue she gave a poker face like no english. I will never go back again. I will highly recommend to save your money and time not to visit this place qnd do not order anything from here. Worst food and less quantity, hardly 3 pieces of chicken. DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!
Have enjoyed this Thai food for years. Flavors and seasoning is always spot on.
Great Thai food, and Fast and Affordable. Thank you for your work.
We came here out of sheer curiosity. I am love great food and have a hard time finding it in Weehawken/ Hoboken/ Edgewater/ West New York area.
This place blew our minds, this is some of the best Thai food we have ever had!
We tried the Thai Summer Rolls, with tamarind, chili, peanut sauce. We had the Thai Bamboo Shrimp, and the Flaky Curry Puffs. Loved all three.
We ordered From The Wok: Thai Bail Fried Rice, asked for it to be medium spicy with chicken and the Crispy Whole Snapler with Chili Three Flavors.
We will be back again and we will be bringing friends and family to enjoy. Beyond grateful to have found this place.
Mimi is gracious and accommodating. The owner/chef is amazing. We asked him to come out to thank him. Don't sleep on this place.
First of all they stopped serving my address for some reason. and secondly the delivery driver was pathetic saying a 5 dollar tip is not enough for a 8 minute drive. lol. and lastly i ordered food for 7 pm and they sent the delivery at 2:30 pm. and now that i want to reorder from them so they can correct the mistake they keep cancelling my order from grub hub. hilarious.
Great food. ..perfect Thai cooking, delicious
Nooo... I got delivery and my pad Thai was so dry. noodles- dry and clumpy, chicken- dry and skimpy. No lime, no peanut, no sprouts, one chive. Costs way too much to be so below average and lacking. I've had so much pad Thai and this.... Never again.
Basic Thai food. They still don’t do indoor dining.
Easily one of the Great authentic Thai food in the area. Good prices and friendly staff. They mostly specialize in take out/delivery.
The food was ok, corn was a bit off. You get what you pay for. I’ll try ordering something else. I don’t recommend the pad see ew
We were a bit disappointed. My beef pad see ew had a distinctively weird aftertaste, which I think was freezer burn? I ended up only eating the noodles. We also got the summer rolls which were completely flavorless. My husband’s red curry was definitely the best thing we ordered; it tasted good, but it was not great. We probably won’t order from here again.
Yummy food and terrific service
I worked near this spot over 10 years ago and forever raved about their food. Pineapple fried rice is my personal fav but looking forward to going back to try some new dishes.
So happy they are back. The food was just how I remembered. Fresh and authentic. Order here and support this small business!
They are back! Delivery/pickup only for now and just as amazing as I thought it would be. Thai iced coffee was also strong, refreshing and on point. Happy to support this business!
Love the Drunkman Noodle
Delicious. Fast. Great service.
Delicious
I come here often and it's always Great food and friendly service.
I have been ordering delivery mostly for a long time. The food is always delicious and very consistent. The delivery is so fast we joke that they cook it in the car:) I rarely write reviews but I decided that after close to 10 years of enjoying their food I owe them this review. Well done, Hi-So Thai!
The food is really good. Make sure to carry cash along as they are not accepting any cards. Only cash place.
We ordered 2 dishes and the bill was 33my husband gave 40$ considering $7 as tip for the waiter who was also handling the register. And as we were leaving the place he literally asked for more tip. I mean we almost tip you 20% of our bill and still you are asking for more is gross.
Owner needs to train the staff how to behave with customers.
We never faced such situations where even after we paid pretty good tip we have been forced to pay more. And we made a decision even the place had good food we would not visit it again.
I tried the Panang curry with tofu and the basil fried rice with tofu which were Very good. The portion size was enough to fill me. Make sure you bring Cash, they only take cash.
Horrible service, mediocre food. There are way better options. Will never go again.
Great food (best in the area) Friendly owner. Reasonable prices.
Hi So Terrible. I don't know where the good reviews for this place have come from. They must never have tried their take out or have a lot of family members!
Had the fried calamari as an appetizer. Tasted like something that was bought frozen from Shop Rite and warmed up. The sweet dipping sauce was like orange colored water - drippy and tasteless.
Had Pad thai chicken for a main course. The noodles came clumped together. There were a few peanut chips on the chicken. No sauce could be found. It was basically tasteless.
A disaster of a dinner. Order at your own risk.
Horrible Cash Only and wait time is so bad we had 25 people for lunch and by 3 pm also we dint have lunch
Not coming again
Food is great. Mango on a sticky rice dessert is my favorite here.
Food was ok. Ambience ok. They only accept cash..
Good service.
By far my favorite restaurant in Hoboken. Food tastes great and it’s authentic. The owner is very friendly and clearly takes pride in his food. He will tell you what spices you are and are not allowed to put on each specific food:)
Lunch menu serves some classic Thai cuisine at decent prices.
Food was delicious! The only drawback is that the place looks a little run down.
The food is very nice ,and that not too expensive
When it was time to pay, he stole from us! The owner/waiter Is VERY DISHONEST, he charged us more than what we had to pay. My total came out to $31.95. I give him $40.00 and he gives me only $2.05 back in change???? I asked the owner/waiter why not the full change? He stated to us that the total was $37.95 instead!!!! I added all my expenses which totaled $31.95 due to extra gratuity that is required to pay (not $37.95). Then my wife and I decided to give him the $2.05 just to help him out, we started to feel sorry for him; TO OUR SURPRISE THE OWNER SAID THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH AND HE DEMANDED MORE MONEY AND ASKED US FOR AN ADDITIONAL $5.00!!! HE TOOK THE RECEIPT BACK AND NEVER RETURNED IT TO US - He knew he was going to get busted. He ended up insisting for those $5 and my wife gave it to him because she did not want to be bothered by him, even though I disagreed.
This OWNER IS A SORE LOSER AND A MONEY -HUNGRY-UNPROFESSIONAL-GREEDY-IDIOT FOR A BUSINESSMAN. WE REGRET HELPING HIM; His business is dark, empty, with old utensils and many flies in the atmosphere of the place, this place needs a sanitation inspection. HE MAY HAVE STOLEN $$$ FROM BUT HE LOST US AS CUSTOMERS FOREVER AND GAINED A SUPER BAD REVIEW. THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO GO THAN THIS HOLE OF THAI DUMP!!!
Amazing Thai food!! 😍👌👌
Flavorful food. Fast service. Friendly staff. Cash only.
Food was pretty good. only downside is cash only place. who carries cash?
Cash only. Food is NOT so great and Not bad as well . But I liked Thai cold Tea.
Very American style Thai food
Pineapple fried rice was excellent; Pad Thai was above average and so as the Pad see ew.
Fast and good
Food was excellent, great price and portion size, highly recommend.
Cash only place. Totally worth it.
Back story: Went on a Tuesday night so there was only one other customer which normally ticks me off but I understand I went on a slow day (thankfully). The experience was very pleasant and the service was great. I was split between getting Pineapple Fried Rice and a noodle dish but when I ask the waiter for help he offer to make pineaple on noodles! Which I totally loved! Their chicken curry was also really good.
Yummy food and friendly staffs.
Food here is so delicious. I have been to many Thai restaurants and this is by far on my top three. Def coming back.
Food is a bit pricey but comes in really big portions. Not a fan of the tofu but it tasted exceptional over here
All the food at Hi-So is EXCELLENT! Everything we have tried has been exceptional. Drunken noodles, Fresh Thai Ginger w/tofu are favorites. Sticky rice is yummy. You can bring your own bottle, and restaurant is cash only. I do wish you could use a credit card but regardless, highly recommend it.
Beautiful environment amazing tasting food great place to dine with family and friends
i frequent hi-so Thai because the food is delicious, I love their peanut curry chicken and grilled dumplings and their coconut water ... I sometimes go in just to order their grilled dumplings on its own as an entree ... the service is so friendly. It’s also a nice quiet place to eat with parking right around the corner which is very convenient.
Horrible food. Worst Pas Thai I’ve ever had.
VERY hard to find where it is located at. Especially in the evening! They don't have a sign with lights on.
Went at 12pm on Tue and it was still closed
This is a "must stop" for great Thai food.
Fast & friendly service.
Cash only
Friendly service and tasty food. It would be great if they serve beer's though. Singha beer is the one that I always order first in thai restaurants.
