3.5 overall Parking can be challenging but I got lucky a few blocks away. Was empty on a weekday evening, but they have a decent amount of seating. Service was friendly and quick. The Chacha Noodles with Fried Pork Belly.came out steaming hot from the kitchen. Bouncy noodles paired with crisp veggies balanced well together. The pork was crisp as well, though some pieces were a bit overdone. I do wish the pieces were sliced a bit bigger... maybe would help it not be overdone. They give a good amount though. I love the hot sauce. The Butterfly Pea Lemonade was a little on the sweet side for me, but had a good amount of sourness to balance most of it out. A decent Thai spot in the area. read more

Went here for lunch and it was amazing! We got the pad see ew, chicken dumplings, chicken satay, and ginger stir fry with beef. Everything was really fresh and flavorful without being too salty or oily! The service was quick and everyone was really nice. It was clean inside and there was a bathroom. One of the best spots for Thai in the area, I will definitely be back! read more

I'm still not fully decided on this place. I came here a month ago with some girlfriends after shopping and while the food was delicious to a degree, there was a lingering smell of cat piss that just would not dissipate no matter how long we sat there. The window seat was cute, but it was hotter indoors than it was outside, which was a little crazy, we were literally rolling beads of sweat while eating and not from the spice. We got a few appetizers and some main courses. I have the pad see ew and vegetable dumplings which both were lovely. You're not coming here for the service honestly, as there was close to none, I must've called the server at least a dozen times and he was in his phone chilling. I don't know if I'll be back, maybe in the winter. It was just a strange experience on the whole, even with the food being good... yah who knows if I'll be back! read more

Came here on a Thursday afternoon for a little lunch date with the husband! The restaurant is so cute and nicely designed. Food was pretty darn good and the waiter was nice! We started off with some shrimp rolls; 10/10 I got the Pad See Ew lunch special that came with two sides and I opted for the spring roll and soup; delicious 9/10 My husband got the Nuer Yang (steak) with jasmine rice; cooked perfectly 10/10 Ended the meal with some mango sticker rice; 8/10 read more

Best Thai food in Ridgewood!! My delivery always arrives hot. If you dine in, the service is great and the decor is pretty cute too. My go-to order is green papaya salad and either the ginger stir-fry, basil stir-fry, or pad Thai. Their best dishes are definitely all of the entrees and noodles; I think the curries could be better. My partner and I have tried three other Thai spots, and Chachawan is by far the best. I hope they never leave Ridgewood read more

I am a very picky Thai food eater. Coming from the NW we were spoiled rotten. It has taken me many tries in NY to find my spots. And a couple years ago my boyfriend and I tried this place on a whim and it was amazing. We just really can't get enough. We are also lucky because there's two of us. So we get to try two entrees but get half of both. The perfect masterplan. This place is never busy for dine in. I see a lot of food delivery pick ups while we sit and enjoy our meal. The feel at the restaurant is calm, clean and attentive. The staff is always on point. We scan the QR code, but always know we will be ordering the Rose Rangoons, the pineapple fried rice with shrimp and the Massaman Curry with tofu. Every bite is always as delicious as one can remember it. My boyfriend can literally drink that curry sauce. I love the little peanuts in the curry. A little surprise. I took my sister here with her daughter on Sunday and they were blown away. My niece was headed back to college on Monday so I am so happy they had a great time. My niece loved the veggie curry puffs so much that we had to do another order. It made me so happy that they were happy and that we have this beautiful memory here. And now that the weather has gotten slightly chillier, we look forward to more meals soon. read more

I often get takeout from this place since it's close by. I usually go for their lunch specials and always order the green curry with chicken, extra spicy! The appetizers are decent--I'm a fan of the fried shrimp roll. The crab Rangoon is a bit small and could use more filling, and the fried calamari is quite thin. The crab fried rice is pretty good with nice chunks of crab, and their Thai iced tea is solid. read more

Chachawan in Ridgewood has become one of our go-to spots. We've dined in a few times and also ordered delivery, and the food has been consistently excellent across the board. The menu offers a large variety of dishes, all full of flavor and perfectly executed. On our most recent visit, I had the duck (amazing--crispy skin, tender meat), and my wife had the whole fish, which was cooked beautifully. Everything had the perfect amount of spice--flavorful without overwhelming the dish. We also shared the papaya salad (bright and refreshing) and I had the chive pancake, which was crisp and satisfying. In past visits or delivery orders, we've tried the Moo Yang Over Ric (grilled marinated pork), Hat Yai Fried Chicken, and the Crispy Three Flavors Duck--all excellent, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. Service is always polite, efficient and reliable. The decor is simple and low-key, but that's part of the charm--it keeps the focus on the food. Only minor drawback is that they don't serve alcohol (no beer or wine), but honestly, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend read more

Recently found this spot and I'm so happy I did! Ive been here twice so far and both times everything was great. Ive tried the Penang curry, thai fried rice, the fried chicken (to die for!) and the chilli garlic crispy pork. All solid dishes that I would order again. We also tried the shrimp rolls and we LOVED the warm coconut pudding!! Probably my favorite bite so far. They also have great Thai iced teas, not too sweet and not too bitter. The staff was very kind. And the restaurant had an inviting interior. I'm surprised this place hasn't been ruined my social media yet because honestly it's worth raving about! If you live in the area go!! read more

Loved the food here! I got the curry and it was warm, large portion, lots of veggies and the meat was cooked very well. I'd love to come back for some other dishes. read more

This is the second time I ordered takeout food from this place. It is delivered very quickly. I got the chive pancakes and the shrimp Tom Yum soup again. That was very good before and it's still good. this time I tried the fried chicken for an entrée. it was really dry. the rice that came with it was wrapped in cellophane/plastic wrap within the container. weird. when I unwrapped it, it stayed like a brick. I find this to be very strange. I believe this costs $16 for the chicken. Totally NOT worth it. read more

The food was great, but I was impressed by their presentation. The decorations of the restaurant were rustic and cute. Dish wear and glass wear were very charming. The ambiance was relaxed. It is a small restaurant, and there are not many tables, but the pieces of furniture are stylish and cute. I loved these details. We liked the food, and the service was very attentive. The restaurant seems busy with takeout and delivery, but not many eat-in customers. We initially thought about ordering for delivery, but we decided to take a visit. If we did take out, we would have missed their presentation of the food, which was charming. I am glad that we visited and had a dine-in experience. The price was very reasonable. There is no alcohol served which is a downside but not a big deal. We would love to come back and try different dishes in the future. read more

This is what I love about New York. We went to a brand new Thai restaurant in Ridgewood (of all places) knowing that there are like three other Thai places close by. This place is pretty empty with just one other party. Just one waitress. Pretty small operation. Expectations were not super high or anything, but it turns out that the food here is phenomenal. I can see this place getting popular very quickly. The Pad See Ew was silky smooth.. some of the best I've had. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the Crispy Three Flavors Fish. So crispy, juicy, and oh so flavorful. If you like spicy foods, the mild will be perfect. Thai food can get overly spicy.. even the medium spicy is a lot. All in all, the food here is exceptional. Can't wait to come back. read more

I ordered the vegetarian curry puffs, Thai ice tea and shrimp pad Thai and also tried the coconut soup which was delicious. The place was kind of cold, but they put heating lamps at each table. It was empty when I went on a Saturday at 5 PM so the service was pretty good, but there were moments where no one came out since we were the only people there. read more

Chachawan - Curry Puffs and Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Really really tasty! I came on a rainy day with my boyfriend and found the whole place empty. No one was even at the register when we walked in. The lady was in the back helping with seemingly many delivery orders. We seated ourselves and checked out their menu. We saw some unique options but stuck to the classics for our first time here. Food: We ordered chicken pad thai, beef pad see euw, and mango salad. The pad thai is very similar to how we had it in Phuket - it's more saucy, more brown than the drier red/orange colored version that some places serve. The beef pad see euw was amazing. It was certainly our favorite dish of the two. The pad see euw is very saucy, sweet and smoky flavor. I absolutely loved the juicy rice noodles which were cooked so well. The proteins were slightly dry but the noodles more than made up for it. (Order this if you like beef)! The mango salad was different and refreshing. It was pieces of mango, red onion, tomatoes, little bit o' lettuce sprinkled with pepper flakes. I think it is a great way to lighten to palette when eating the heavier/saucier noodle dishes. My boyfriend thought the dishes were well portioned and he rarely thinks that lol The restaurant is a casual/cozy local feel. Definitely will be back :) read more

Ordered here through Uber eats for a quick work lunch. I got the ginger sauce dish w/ fried tofu + white rice and the lychee iced tea. Honestly, I love lychee drinks but this one was not good. It didn't taste like lychee at all and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. The ginger sauce dish came with onions, peppers, mushrooms, & corn plus my added tofu. Overall, it was a good meal with a flavorful sauce and a nice sized portion. If you are looking for a quick takeout meal this spot will do the trick, otherwise I would pass on it. read more

Delicious and hearty with the friendly vibe every one likes. Here is today's: pad kra pao nue.

Ordered food for delivery. Green curry with shrimp , Kra Pow Moo Krob which is crispy pork belly sautéed with red and green peppers and green beans. Also ordered the shrimp rolls. The shrimp rolls were okay. I ordered the green curry and pork dish medium spicy. I keep forgetting that when I want medium spicy from any Asian restaurant I should actually ask for spicy or very spicy to get the heat level I want. Otherwise both dishes were delicious. I'm here another week and will probably try their other dishes. read more

We happened to be nearby and stopped by for dinner, and it was the so good! The mango salad with mint in chefs kiss. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy but also not at all greasy, served with sticky rice. We also got Tom yum soup, and basil fried rice which was also top notch. Unlike a "just takeout" spot this place has great decor and vibe, and also a great playlist. The portions were perfect and the hostess was so on point. Food came care minutes after we ordered, great service - give this neighborhood spot a try! read more

Chachawan - Thai ice tea - Thai Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Chachawan is a hidden gem in Ridgewood, Brooklyn. It's a fantastic date spot or small group hangout spot with great food. The interior decor is a mix of what looks like thrift furniture and decorations. We fell in love with the glasses they serve you in, which seem like they were thrifted. We got Crispy Three Flavors Duck, Pineapple Fried Rice, Kra Pao Moo Krob (Pork Belly) with Lychee Ice Tea. I'd highly recommend the Kra Pao Moo Krob. I still crave it randomly. The Crispy Three Flavors Duck is more on the tangy side which is an interesting flavor profile to bring to the table. If you're in the area, this is a no-brainer pick for dinner or lunch. read more

Really good, very fast delivery. Nice portions. A new go-to for me. I wanna try the Thai iced tea.

Cha cha, what are you doing to me girl?! This restaurant is everything you want when you get that itch for Thai food. It is well seasoned, arrives hot and the Thai tea is ELITE. Real Thai lovers know that Thai tea is an altogether separate category that not everyone gets right. Cha cha wan does! I ordered the red curry with shrimp and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly spiced, mild how I personally asked for, plenty of veggies and most definitely NOT stingy with the shrimp. The Thai ice tea was creamy, sweet and strong. Perfection. This place is under rated for now, but something tells me it won't be for long. Overall, I'd highly recommend Chachawan for all you Thai food feens. They get a major stamp of approval. read more

Beautiful place with good prices and good service and amazingg food. Love the vibe of the art too!

I could not believe how cheap this food was. I wanted to try out a new Thai place, specially in Ridgewood (because Tasty Thai is not too far from here and my go to delivery place). The restaurant is small and intimate, which I love. The service was so individualized because there were few people in there, which I don't understand because the food was DELICIOUS. The mussels are in a basil butter garlic sauce that is so savory, but not too salty at all. It was my first time having a crispy crusted dumpling, and wow. Definitely will reorder. We also ended up getting the pad Thai, which is standard at most places. I like how it was saucy enough (not too saucy that it's overwhelming). I can't even decide which was my favorite, but this iced tea was great. She described it as the Thai Ice Tea but without the milk (which is half and half) and after all that great food, definitely needed something light and refreshing to top it off. Would definitely visit again. Might go tomorrow actually. read more

Reliable, quick and delicious. I've only gotten take out or delivery. Very nice staff.

I tried the Pok Pok noodle and wanted to write a review so others don't have to go Googling what it is because it's really hard to find online. Basically, it's the thinner rice noodle used for Pad Thai, and the sauce is nice and garlicky. You have to mix it yourself to get all the sauce that is on the bottom as well as all the Asian Broccoli pieces. I would say the sauce is pretty similar to what is used in pad see ew, only slightly different in taste and even more garlicky as well as a little more liquidy, and it comes with what seems like a (pleasant and light) veggie broth as a side. It's all quite flavorful. read more

Food was amazing. We ordered (delivery) the chive pancake, chicken curry, pineapple fried rice and tonkotsu ramen. The ramen was 7/10, which is why I'm leaving a 4 stars. Everything else was 10/10. I guess I should have ordered a Thai dish when ordering from a Thai restaurant :p. Can't wait to go to the restaurant and try other dishes. Highly recommended. read more

I ordered my pad Thai for dinner tonight and it was horrible :( I love pad Thai and I know if it's a good one or not. Sauce was too sweet not the right kind of balance that I was looking for, I requested it to be a little spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. I added some chili, but still not good. Noodles was soggy and The chicken topping that they used? It was old, you can feel the texture. It's my first time to order here and I will not come back anymore. The staff were nice and the Thai iced tea was ok. I hope they can improve. read more

I got the drunken noodle/ pad Kee mao with medium spicy and curry puffs. The curry puff was very good but quite a bit overpriced at $8 for 3 small pieces. The drunken noodle should have been a lot spicier and the portions were not very good. The taste was decent though. Not one of the best. It's pretty average. read more
