Diner Review №1

Great food, great service, interior was nice I liked all the plants. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

Diner Review №2

Fresh, tasty Thai food. I always enjoy the noodle dishes. Plentiful portions. Reasonable prices. The place is clean and pleasant, but not particularly atmospheric as the bulk of their business is Take out.

Diner Review №3

The establishment was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, providing outstanding service throughout our visit. Each meal was expertly prepared, featuring fresh, flavorful, and delicious ingredients. An overall excellent experience!

Way too many red and green peppers, lacked flavor. Overpriced

Diner Review №8

Their spicy basil duck is great. Good portions and service.

Diner Review №9

My wife and I had 2 lunch specials. The flavors were on point. Hats off to the chef accompanied by the excellent service from our waitress. Next time I come back I want to try the curry.

Diner Review №11

The food was great! Loved the pineapple curry. Will definitely return.

Diner Review №12

Poor vegetarian/vegan options. Nothing is labeled on their website. Upon placing my order, they called to tell me that basically everything I ordered couldn’t be made vegan. They offered to make other dishes, like pad kee mao, and while I appreciate their accommodations, the food was flavorless. I guess all their sauces rely on fish sauce, etc. because everything we got was bland. Over $70 worth of food and it’s barely edible. Super disappointing.

Diner Review №13

Only one person serving the whoe restaurant on a weekend. The waitress ran after customers as soon as they left the restaurant and I didnt know why. She came behind me as well because she wasnt satisfied with the tip. She said “might as well order take out if you cant tip more”. First and Last

Diner Review №16

Great Thai food, better than the places I have close to me on the upper west side.

Diner Review №17

Our go-to take-out spot!

Diner Review №18

So good

Diner Review №19

This is an amazing gem in Delmar! We have high expectations of Thai food and this exceeds all of them and more! My favorite dishes are the yellow curry with chicken and extra veggies, the pho is very good, and my hubby gets the salmon dish. We have eaten in but love doing takeout. I like to call in the orders and I'm so glad to see how much busier they have been lately.

I like the spring rolls too, I can't say enough great things🤗❤️❤️❤️

Diner Review №21

I ordered take out as it’s only 6mins from my home. I got chicken satay, Thai iced tea, and pad se ew. The tea what such a treat! Sweet and delicious. The satay was also good, the chicken was juicy and the peanut sauce for dipping was flavorful. The pad se ew was a little dry for my liking, so I felt the flavor could use a little boost, butttt it was still good.

Diner Review №22

Good food

Diner Review №23

Love this place! The women who answers the phone and cashes me out is always so kind! The food is delicious- we love the chicken rice soup, beef pho and crispy veggie spring rolls :)

Diner Review №24

Very good Thai food.

Diner Review №25

Great food, fantastic service! The Pho is awesome. We also really enjoyed the chicken satay and Pad Thai. Thanks so much for a lovely evening.

Diner Review №26

The lunch specials offered a good variety, large portions, and reasonable pricing. Our server was pleasant and efficient.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

My wife and I love this place. We tend to order for take out rather than dine in. The food is prepared quickly and still tastes great when I get home with it. The pad Thai is fantastic as are the curry options. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №29

Great food and service. Sorry that I live so far away.

Diner Review №30

Excellent authentic cuisine.

Diner Review №31

I used to get take out here. The food is decent. I just downgraded the review because their web site says they are open until 9:00 pm. We called for takeout sometime between 8:30 and 8:40 pm one night and they said that the kitchen was closed. No "sorry", no acknowledgement that their hours had changed. Took our business 2 miles up the road to Sweet Basil Thai restaurant instead. A little pricier, but good food and open when they said they would be.

Diner Review №32

Delicious food and fast, friendly service.

Delicious curry. Rice is good too. Noodles also delicious

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

The restaurant was very clean and the service was quick and friendly. We shared an order of the springrolls. They were light and crispy and had a nice flavor. I ordered the pad thai with beef. My son ordered the beef noodle soup. The beef in both entrees was SOOOOO tender!
The pad thai was a different interpretation than Iv ever had. It was very sweet and had a heavy orange/citrus flavor to it. I ate the beef and sprouts and some of the noodles but the sweetness didnt allow me to finish the meal. The beef noodle soup however was delicious from tip to tail. And it was HUGE. My teenager had to struggle to finish it and he has a hearty appetite.
It was an enjoyable.experience and I will absolutley visit them again.

Diner Review №39

Don’t bother trying to eat in. We made a reservation and when we got there we were told that we would have to wait at least one hour before we could order. We left and had a great meal at Sweet Basil

Diner Review №40

Dry af $8 tofu with drops of sauce.

Supposed to be peanut sauce but they just crushed like 3 peanuts into duck sauce.

Rest of the food was mediocre, Pad Thai tasted vinegary. There’s better Thai in town.

Diner Review №41

Eat here if you want dysentery. Rude staff terrible service.

Diner Review №42

Vegans and vegetarians beware! Sat down on a Thursday night with no one else seated in the restaurant. Was told that for ordering an entree they could either remove the seafood sauce or the eggs, but not both. So here it is mandatory when ordering an entree to eat either fish sauce or eggs. Server was very rude about the whole issue, so will never eat here again, and recommend no vegans or vegetarians do either

Diner Review №43

Absolutely love this place! If you're ever in the area definitely check it out.

Diner Review №44

Love this place. The food is delicious. I would recommend trying the Royal Duck. Love it. I have it once a month.

Diner Review №45

Food quality is top notch. I unfortunately forgot to take a photo but presentation was good too. Prices are a bit high for Albany standards but it is worth the money. People are nice too.

Diner Review №46

Very reasonable prices and portions, very delicious, all around BEST thai place around here.

Diner Review №47

Best pad thai I have had in a while. Large, empty, clean seating area. They are doing a lot of takeout and delivery orders. Friendly staff.

April 2021 - "Dined-in" which was lovely... haven't done this much since Covid19 started. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Food was fantastic! Chicken satay appetizer, and two lunch specials ($8 each): Green curry chicken, a noodle dish. Server was extremely nice and comfortably attentive. Restaurant decor is minimal and casual. Background music was relaxing and enabled us to talk and enjoy the experience. Hope others will support this restaurant so that we don't lose this Thai gem in Delmar!

Diner Review №51

I really like the boba here me and my friends go here sometimes

Diner Review №52

My family and I are big fans of Thai food and we have tried all the places in the capital district. We normally go to one and downtown Albany and have for decades but we decided to give this place a try.

The food was so fresh and so well prepared we were surprised. It was a whole new level. I got the Green curry with chicken and vegetables were clearly fresh the seasoning was just right and the chicken was 1st class. We actually ordered again a few nights later just to see if it was going to always be that good... It was!

Diner Review №53

We had take out and it was delicious.Staff member was very nice and helpful.

Diner Review №54

Excellent food. Did take out this time. Will stay there next time. Very polite waitress. Look forward to going back. Pete, Delmar, NY

Diner Review №55

I ordered red curry tonight. I have gotten a few times before and it was delicious and I am sad to say it was not tonight :(. The chicken was poor quality, dry. It just wasn’t the same as I used to get.

Diner Review №56

Good service
Clean place
Food was mediocre... and pricey for the poor quality.
Meat was low quality, drunken noodles were bland, tea was corn syrupy...
Napkins and plastic forks were so cheap that they didn't work.
I will not be going back.

Diner Review №76

We stopped to eat here on a whim one night about four months ago and loved it!! Since then, we've eaten here once a month and tried many different dishes. All have been excellent, although the Suki hang is my favorite. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Best Thai food around the area in my opinion. Good portions, excellent flavor, and attentive staff.

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

Excellent food and very friendly service. The nice young lady here was very helpful when I wanted to spice up a meal that many would find spicy without the extra kick. She asked me how much hotter I'd like it on a star scale from 1-5. I went with 3 and it was perfect. A little lingering warmth a few minutes after I finished it but not so hot that it was unpleasant for someone with a good spicy food tolerance. I definitely recommend this place.

Amazing authentic food delightfully prepared! Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №94

Great, friendly waiters, good food

Diner Review №95

Great food and great service

Diner Review №96

Large room for a family-run place, simply decorated. The size of the room makes for an initial impression a bit cold, but the owner, who also waited tables made for a very warm and friendly experience. Our curries were great, made with fresh ingredients. My spicy dish was about medium for my taste, but I like very spicy foods. I'll ask for more heat next time. If you aren't a spicy fan, they do make a number of non-apicy dishes too.

Chontong is a nice neighborhood Thai place. I'll be back.

Diner Review №97

Excellent little Thai eatery run by a delightful young couple. Try the Drunken Noodles and thank me later

Diner Review №98

Food is outstanding..good service, but no alcohol of any kind is available .

Diner Review №99

Chontong Thai is my favorite restaurant!

The staff are always so welcoming and helpful and it is a very relaxing atmosphere, just wonderful all around!

Everything I have had from here is so delicious! My favorite dish is Chicken Red Curry. I also suggest that you try the Thai Iced Tea, it is so good!

This is a must try! You can even get take-out!
