This place was good however typical behavior add gratuity of 18 % for even one person , add credit card fees of 3% -the food is good but too many hidden costs so be aware read more

Amazing Thai - The over charge - Thai Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Food was tasty and portions were generous. What stuck out was the following: 18% service fee, 3% credit card fee and when I asked for some hot sauce, I was told there's a $2.75 fee! What???!?? For a little bit of hot sauce on the side? Maybe I'm missing something but that was a bit of a sticker shock. Then on top of that, when I got the bill, it wasn't readily apparent that the total presented included a service charge and the additional gratuity was front and center. Just raise your prices by a couple of dollars instead of hitting everyone with a service fee and a gratuity on top of that ‍ read more

The literal BEST Pineapple Fried Rice I have ever had! Got mine with vegetables. Huge pineapple chunks, cashews, very fresh vegetables & everything was seasoned to perfection! And its an amazingly huge portion! I would order from here weekly that is how much I love their pineapple fried rice. I cant recommend this place enough! read more

Five stars all the way! Amazing Thai Princeton never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a menu that caters to all tastes. Whether you're a fan of spicy food or prefer milder flavors, there's something for everyone here. I'm a huge fan of their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. We also get their papaya salad during summer times as it is so refreshingly good. The quality of the ingredients shines through in every dish, and the presentation is always top-notch. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to service if the food is good, but at a slightly upscale restaurant like this I suppose it's something to consider. The service was great and the food was prepared quickly. I don't place much attention on atmosphere, but Amazing Thai definitely meets expectations. The outside eating area is clean, well-lit, and decorated. The inside has a modern aesthetic that elevates the space. It's no wonder this place has become a local favorite. Whether you're a longtime fan of Thai cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit! read more

Another wonderful unplanned dining experience. Rainy night after a movie stopped in and they were packed but luckily they had a table for us. Ordered green curry with and my wife had the pad Thai with . Both dishes were beautifully presented and tasted just as great. read more

The food here is just out of this world. Highly recommended the Pad Thai is you are looking for something not as spicy. However, if you want spicy, highly recommended the red curry with chicken. The service was very pleasant and would definitely come again. Highly Recommend!!!!!! read more

Came here for dinner and the food was delicious! The portions also were quite generous

Came here today for lunch, wasn't feeling very hungry so we ordered 1 lunch special for the 2 of us but when we asked for another set of utensils, we were told by the waitress that we cannot share a lunch special. Per the waitress, "1 set for one person, no share." I've never been to a restaurant that is not all you can eat where you are not allowed to share food. The food is great but her not giving us another set of utensils and not allowing sharing just made me lose my appetite even more read more

It's not the best Thai restaurant I've been to but it wasn't terrible either. The ambiance was great, the service was good but a bit slow because it was so busy on a weekend night. They have both indoor and outdoor dining and we chose to sit outside which was nice. Space inside can be limited. I got the pad Thai and I did enjoy it even though it's not my go to noodle usually. Portions were decent and I had enough leftover. read more

I won't lie, I doubted the place by the name but HOLYYYYY it lives up to it! I got a green curry with tofu, basil fried rice with tofu, and a drunken noodles with beef. All were good, but I definitely recommend the tofu over the beef as it was slightly chewy and overcooked compared to the silky smooth tofu. The drunken noodles were by far my party's favorite and are definitely a must order! Staff was friendly and gratuity is included, even for a party of 2. The inside is sorta small so not the best for huge parties, but definitely a place that you need to come!! read more

Crispy pork belly was very tough to chew, overly sweet, and utterly inauthentic. For $35 (worse than most NYC prices for Thai food), it was a disappointment. I was shocked by the automatic 18% gratuity for ALL parties of any size (not stated on their website) that applied to the total WITH tip. Plus a 3% credit card fee. Come here only if you want to feel like eating at gunpoint. Completely unwelcoming for students. They also buy fake positive reviews (see their Facebook). Crooks. read more

I've somehow never realized this place existed despite passing this a thousand times. It's about a 15 -20 min walk from downtown, so it can be easy to miss. Parking isn't that easy, we ended up parking on Pine Street which is a little far. We made a reservation for our group for a Saturday night, but I don't think it was actually needed. There was a lot of space outdoors and some indoors. The staff were really kind and would drop by often. I have a lot of pride for my spice tolerance but the green curry here humbled me. I was blowing my nose and couldn't even finish the dish. It's surprising that they do not ask for level of spice like in other Thai restaurants, I wonder if you're able to ask for modifications. Despite this, the curry was flavorful and the amount of seafood was fair for the price. The crab rangoons were decent with the sauce elevating them. My favorite item actually ended up being the lychee Thai tea! It tasted exactly like Thai tea with the right amount of lychee to make this drink refreshing, especially for the jersey humidity. Overall, I would love to come back to Amazing Thai to try their array of fruity drinks and mocktails, and even their drunken noodles (which are hopefully not as spicy). read more

Was our first real outing post Covid lockdown . Driving back from Princeton we made an impromptu decision to pick up dinner as we were hungry and didn't want to eat the same ol home food. Choices were limited for quick take out as most places had a long wait . Given we were in a rush , I picked Amazing Thai as it had good Yelp reviews , the food pictures looked appetizing and they promised a 30 min takeout! We just ordered veggie spring roll (fried ) & chicken drunken noodles. Picked up and food and we opened the spring roll in the car . Wanted to taste it when it was fresh & hot . There were just 3 small rolls with a side of mustard vinegar dipping sauce. Was crunchy , inside out , delicately spiced with the tangy pungent dipping sauce . We even missed taking a picture for Yelp and remembered when I got to the last bite. We were kicked into high gear for the spring roll experience that we got home & excitedly opened the so called super spicy drunken noodles . First look ... pale white looking noodles ...... silence for a few seconds ......hmmmmm! Heavy breathing pursued the silence ... the real deal noodles wasn't anything like it was in the pictures on Yelp nor did it appear spicy or seasoned like I've seen the dish at other Thai restaurants. Warmed some in a bowl and too my first bite . Wide flat noodles was definitely fresh made and that was it ! Other than salt there was no seasoning that I could taste . Spices or spicy had no place in describing this dish. Bland & Blah are the right words that came to my mind . I prefer not to write something bad about a place especially in challenging times like this . But I don't want other yelpers to be misled by their menu description or pictures & be disappointed expecting a spicy dish. The Chicken in the noodles was plain cooked and didn't add much to the dish . I pushed most of the noodles down my throat over a 25 minute span, as I didn't want to throw or waste food. If they can't get a pretty basic but most preferred Thai dish like Drunken noodles right , not sure I will like trust them to get others right ! Try this place at your discretion! read more

Thai restaurant in Princeton, NJ Was here Sunday lunch (noon) and we were the only customers inside. We ordered beef pad thai ($16) and lemongrass seafood($28). Pad thai was very bland and beef was too chewy. Lemongrass seafood was very salty and didn't have a fish fillet and it didn't taste fresh. I think they were using frozen seafood packet. The dishes tasted more chinese than thai and seafood dish was very dissappointing. read more

I can't believe this place is only rated 3.5 stars. It deserves all five!! I had the Thai iced tea and the crispy duck pad Thai and the flavor exemplified everything I love about Thai food. I'm Chinese and I also found that the duck sauce used for it even tasted similar to Peking duck sauce. Eating here alone makes me wish I went to Princeton for college! read more

Amazing Thai - Pad Thai with crispy duck - Thai Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

The food is not bad but lacks the subtlety of flavor and careful preparation that one normally associates with Thai cooking, especially for the prices they are charging. The final insult was being charged $6(!) for a single tea bag and a mug of hot water. Thankfully there are several other choices in the area so this will be my first and last visit to Disappointing Thai. read more

Pretty good place. Like others have said they have a very cute outdoor set up and plenty of heat lamps to stay warm. Seems like they aren't fully staffed and only have one person taking care of everyone so things were a little slow compared to other places but not too big of a problem. Chicken Pad Thai was good, but nothing spectacular. The chicken was very soft and tasty and the portion was about what you would expect for the price you pay. Definitely think they could make this even better with either cilantro or green onions to balance the thai sauce. You'll leave here satisifed but definitely wishing for a little more. On the higher-end of the scale of restaurants on Nassau and would come back for special occasions or a nice dinner with friends. read more

Amazing Thai is a new Thai restaurant that just opened in the old location of Tiger Noodles. They're a step above the other Thai options in Princeton, both in ambience and in variety of dishes (better food than Thai Village and more selection than Lil Thai Pin). Their menu (available on their website https://www.amazingthainj.com/ ) carries a range of Thai dishes, including many that aren't easily found in this area. They also have several vegan options, including Mock Duck. They're currently open for takeout (by phone or online at their website) and outdoor dining on their shaded special. I think they also deliver on Grubhub. I've only tried a couple of the lunch special stir fries so far, which are reasonably priced and come with a side of jasmine rice and appetizer of choice. Between the Japanese eggplant holy basil and spicy bamboo, I preferred the latter (it was spicier and not as sweet), though both were on the sweet side. The default spiciness level is medium, so if you like really spicy food I recommend asking them to increase the heat. I'd like to try more of their menu, especially some of their Amazing Specialty dishes, Thai Sour Pork Sausage, and Thai-Northern Dip (https://www.instagram.com/p/CDu0TfyhRMP/). Amazing Thai is the second Asian restaurant to open in Princeton since COVID-19 with more elevated options than is typical for the area, after Schouse (Chinese) a few blocks down on Nassau. It's nice to have a new option for Thai food in the area, and I think they're worth giving a try. read more

We were 4 couples who visited the restaurant on a Tuesday evening. It was our first time. We ordered different appetizers & entrees. Simply loved the food taste and the service was fast. Ambience was great with beautiful modern lighting fixtures. The chicken satay was the best we ever had in any Thai restaurant. The medium red curry was little spicy for us but delicious. They have many vegan options Would definitely recommend trying this Amazing Thai Restaurant read more

This is a small Thai restaurant and has solid Thai food in a hip university town. The spicy salad was decently spicey and was a basic lettuce and nuts. The tom young soup did not have enough lemongrass in our opinion. The drunken noodles was very good and had the right texture. The green curry was more coconut than curry and wasn't green but more white. This place wasn't bad and I'd come back for the noodles and try the papaya salad next time. read more

Great place for good food. First of all, the interior is simply gorgeous. There are the huge gold chandelier, The restaurant is also decorated in an authentic fashion with the standing buddha at the front and the golden bell lighting. As for the food, I ordered Squid ink spaghetti, this dish was pretty big and presented beautifully. Furthermore, the dish tasted so so good- the noodle was so flavorful, both sweet and savory and were perfectly cooked. The service was great too. They were friendly and attentive. Overall, Amazing Thai is the best Thai food in Princeton and definitely one of the best I've ever visited. With a beautiful interior and great authentic Thai food. One last thing their mocktails it's a must! I got the classic Mojito it was the best mocktail I never had befor yummy read more

Good food but terrible employees. read more

On Nassau Street between Pine and Maple on the north side of Princeton, Amazing Thai set up shop in the space formerly occupied by Tiger Noodles (now a block south). They freshened up the outdoor patio eating area, and modernized the interior with more attractive and comfortable furniture. It feels upscale, which it carries through with the cuisine that comes out of the kitchen. I sat out on the patio overlooking Nassau on a beautiful late April afternoon, warm refreshing breeze blowing the scent of blooming trees and flowers over me, much like an early morning walking the beach in Pattaya. I got a bit lost in the moment. I ordered their Drunken Noodles w Chicken, "Thai Spicy." The server taking my order looked at me to be sure she understood what I said, and that I knew what I was asking for. I did. She nodded and went inside to place my request with the kitchen. I was tempted to also explore the Tom Kha Soup, but the $9 tag deterred me. $16 for the rice noodles was enough for lunch. So happens that the dish was remarkable. Fresh, broad noodles mixed with green/red bell peppers, sliced sweet onion, thin chicken and a superior five alarm chili paste sauce coating everything. The first bite stung my tongue and gums, but I quickly adjusted to it, and thoroughly enjoyed the rest. It was among the best burning noodles I have sampled around here. So glad they believed me about how many Scovilles I desired. Loved it so much I ordered another to go to share with the family last night. I do suggest they find a smaller portion/lower price point for their appetizers and soups, to encourage more adventurous dining. PRO TIP - Know why this dish is called, "Drunken Noodles?" Because of the call for lots of Thai beer that so often follows that first bite. read more

I've been to amazing Thai twice - first time ordered drunken noodle and a veggie dish (forgot its name) the drunken noodle was pretty decent. The veggie dish w Chinese broccoli and tofu had a strong taste of sourness - I personally found it a bit unbalanced and the rest of the group didn't enjoy it either. Went in yesterday cuz I was craving for some red curry. Having sampled my friends red curry last week from lil Thai pin and having noticed their prices didn't differ much during dinner time I decided to walk to amazing Thai to try their red curry to compare. It was too sweet and I found it rather odd. Wasn't as spicy as lil Thai pin - perhaps the sweetness just overpower everything else. I do plan to come back for other specialty dishes that lil Thai pin doesn't have. But for the Thai staples I'll stick w lil thai pin for its value and taste. read more

Disappointing I ordered an entree - tofu with basil sauce..... I literally got 6 cubes of tofu in a liquid sauce. Tofu was not fried, just cubed, not how I typically order. NO RICE with my order. My husbands drunken noodles were not even remotely spicy, like not even a hint! Extremely disappointed that I paid over 40 dollars for 2 entrees that look like I made it at home. I'm extremely glad we didn't do delivery which would have been 50$!!! I agree with many of the reviews- if you can't even get basic thai recipes correct, what hope is there for the rest of the menu?? read more

Food is delicious and always friendly service. I love the black noodles, wings, and their Thai iced tea.

Amazing Thai is anything but amazing. I ordered a basil dish, and it had no flavor of basil. Definitely not thai basil and didn't even taste like normal basil. Both dishes lacked flavor and were swimming in at least an inch of oil. Overpriced for what it was. 1st and last time ordering from here. There are better thai options in the area. read more

The service and the food are great! I love the decorations and it's very cozy. I will definitely come back here again

We visited this place on a Thursday evening and no prior reservations were needed. We called in to check if reservations are needed and we were told otherwise. It is at the end of the long restaurant list in the Nassau street North bound. Road side paid parking can be found on both sides of the place for couple of blocks however I wouldn't count on it when weekend is round the corner. Palmer Square and Chamber street garages which are located around 7-10 mins walk from here are the best bet. Coming to the restaurant itself, there is outdoor seating in suitable seasons as well as indoor. They take customer's choice to get them seated. No alcohols on the menu however it is a BYOB. Good number of Thai specialty non-alcoholic drinks and Mocktail options are available. We recommend their Lychee Thai tea, if you like sweet tea . We tried their Tom yum soup and Pad Thai spring rolls. The soup was average however the sauce that they serve with the spring roll was noteworthy. The sauce enhances the taste of spring rolls. Off course how can we not talk about curry's in a Thai restaurant. Their Jungle curry is not popular amongst customers but if you like spicy food, go for it. We enjoyed it. Penang curry was definitely one of the top 10 that we have tried. Service is something that we have no complaints about. The waiter was patient, courteous and warned us in prior about the spicy Jungle curry. Food comes out reasonably quick considering we had about 7 more tables apart from us when we visited. The ambiance outdoor on a sunny spring day without music was just the way we liked. There can be noise from talks on other tables as there was no music if you like a quiet meal. All in all, definitely worth at least one visit. Considering there are other Thai options nearby, this one may even stand out if you like it outdoors and even comparing the tastes with other options. Try this out and let us know on your thoughts! Also, masks are not compulsory considering this is May 2022. However, waiters wear it here. read more

We are Thai food big fan. Trying out this new Thai restaurant and hoping the food is as amazing as it's name. However, it's a very disappointing meal. The decor inside is very beautiful. The Thai waiter is very friendly and polite. He provides an excellent service although he is the only one who running around (caused slow service but his friendliness make up for that) When I eat Thai food, I expect excitement from the very first bite to last. But yesterday was rather dull. It's mainly sweet (I supposed they try to cater to American) and it's really not spicy at all. To be clear it's not bad but it's simply boring. I think I'm going to stick with my go to Thai place, Thai Pin at Lawrenceville. Side note: They are still new and figuring out. You will need at least 2 hours to have the meal. We had Tom Yum, Green Curry Fried Rice, Tamarind Red Snapper, Pad Woon Sen, Grilled Chicken, Som Tum. read more

Used to be a regular at this place for more than three years now. Food has been the draw but the recent practice of forced gratuity is a huge turn off. 18% gratuity and then a request for more ? Seriously ? Asked for chilli oil (a commonly available condiment at most establishments ; here they sell it to you for 3.75??? ) Ridiculous !! Not planning to come back even through the food so good. read more

We have been to amazing Thai several times and most recently went for their vegan chef's challenge. The red curry 'duck' dish was delicious and I wish it was on the regular menu!

Ate here outdoors and was very impressed. Service was friendly and quick, and the outdoor seating was spacious. Bonus points for this being in the quieter frontier of Nassau Street. Food was delicious. Heat level was perfect -- not Bangkok spicy, but definitely not dumbed down for the American palate either (at our request). The green curry was great with generous amounts of chicken and eggplant. The crispy pork belly was amazing -- really neat dish I've never had elsewhere and will be ordering it again. read more
