Wei H.

Wonderful Thai restaurant at Hillsdale NJ. The design is modern yet elegant. It gives an upscale vibe but still very easy and casual. If you are coming as a big group, definitely make a reservation. The staff is helpful and friendly. Attentive to customers. The food is amazing. The presentation and flavor are both there. I would love the portion to be a little bigger. Chicken bomb is a must try (spicy level 1). The unique sauce over the crunchy chicken makes my top 3 favorites. Love the sweet, sour, Thai essence taste. We also have chili shrimp (reduced spicy level to 1) and chicken pad see ew. Shrimps are jumbo size, cooked beautifully. Again the sauce elevates the dish to another level. If you are in the area, give this place a try. I highly recommend it.

Returned for another very good meal. They brought out 2 dishes and we waited a good 10 min for the other 2 so needed to request a warm up. We didn't take this against their rating since they did so well every other time. Food was superb as always.

If I could, I would rename Bergen County to Mini Thailand. The finest Thai Cuisine this side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Options in nearly every town, how did we get so lucky? Call me Bucky (Irving)... topical as always. Top tier options do indeed dwell this land, and you simply can't go wrong. However... I can say this with a firm lip, no quiver. Don't kill me when I deliver... this news. Koon Thai is the best of the best oh my oh my. He said it. I did. Call me naughty but this place is niceeeeeee. Very pretty interior. Pretty? Yea... so what? A man with dexterity in compliments. Small in stature but utilizes the space exceptionally well. Nice view of the lovely hillsdale streets depending on where you remain seated. It's tuff to get into this joint. Very popular and for good reason. I'm popular. I have reason. At least I once had reason... my life is new. It's different, so I still have purpose? Snap out of it LB. Back to business. I can occasionally spoil meals with my delightfully desirable descriptions of dining delicacies such as presented to my pallet by Koon Thai. This time I shall be brief and wise as to let your own eyes and lips and mouth understand the prize. These folk do a crispy chicken option over the Pad Thai. Genius. Genius creation and alterations all over this menu. You don't gotta reinvent the wheel, but you can make a wheel spin faster and finer and funkier and that's what they do. The Fried Rice. I don't know what to do with my jazz hands right now thinking about this fried rice. Get that little oil (as seen in picture), toss it all over this pupparoni. This is maybe the best fried rice I've ever had. Stretched over many a cuisine. It be meannnnnnnnn. Woooof woooooof. I could keep going, just ask ya motha!!! Ayooooo. But instead I leave this up to you to finish my review. 5/5, feeling alive. Enjoy a merry holiday night this winter. Warm yourself up with some Thai from this eatery and maybe you'll be lucky to stumble into my topsy turvy toosh (bulking szn.)

Koon Fried Rice $27
Vanessa A.

We ordered take out; the food might be better if dining in. We ordered pad Thai, pad se ew, hunger, koon fried rice, spring rolls and Brussel sprouts (about $100!). The Brussel sprouts were the best! Even though the Koon fried rice comes with lumps of crab meat, it does not seem worth $27. Very expensive fried rice! Hunger is a different type of dish. I liked the variety of what it came with - shrimp, pork sausage, tofu , lettuce, cashews, noodles. You get 3 spring rolls in an order. I thought they might be something different since they were made with taro but were standard.

Pad thai with veggies and tofu
Mel Y.

One of the sister Thai restaurants in the area with good food that hits the spot Tasty Thai food, with some traditional favorites like pad Thai and fried rice but also other dishes. I enjoyed the Hunger, which was broad noodles with large shrimp, pork sausage (not super fatty), cashews, lettuce and more. The fried rice with crab was a good pairing because it's not spicy without the optional sauce. Pad Thai was also pretty good with a few different veggies. Entrees will run you about $20-27. Street parking that's free on Sundays but otherwise is either an hour or two on weekdays... there's a Gong cha, Japanese restaurant and deli not too far.

I have been here a few times and each time I have thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My husband and I csme with another couple for dinner. We ordered the Suki Yaki entree as an appetizer and it was so yummy, we were fighting over the last bite. I ordered the Cod Tempura and it was cooked to perfection. So flaky and delicious with a very tasty sauce on the side. Everyone was super happy with their meals. Our server was helpful when explaining the different types of noodles to us and in opening our many bottles of wine. There was a good crowd of people and a bunch of takeout orders while we were there, which is good to know. The restaurant smelled delicious and for good reason, the food is very good here. We love a good BYO, definitely would recommend and will be back!

Came here with my boyfriend for a date night. This is his favorite restaurant! It is so cute in there and the food was absolutely divine! My steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce it comes with was incredible. I need to know how they make it! The brussels sprouts especially, I cannot wait to order them again! The service was fast and friendly. Great experience at Koon. I will be going back and maybe trying something new!

Ding Ding
Chalita P.

The service is amazingly attentive. They always check up on you if everything is okay and if your drinks are filled. The only thing I wish is if the seating was spaced out a little more. You are jammed so close together at the back (three 2 person tables right next to each other) that you can eavesdrop on every and all conversations. It was quite awkward. As for the food I wouldn't say this is true Thai food; maybe a hint of fusion in here. They definitely catered to the American pallet. But they executed the flavors well. I enjoyed my bowl of Hunger which had 3-4 large shrimps and Chinese sausages. For desserts we went with the Ding Ding which had some sticky rice and coconut icecream. I wish there was more sticky rice and a drizzle of condensed milk would make this even better but it was good. Overall, I will definitely stop by again!

Holy Beef
Jackson W.

Excellent Thai eatery nestled in the downtown area of Hillsdale. The restaurant has modern decor and an upscale vibe. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. BYOB and be sure to make reservation as there aren't that many tables in the restaurant. We were there on a Friday night and we saw multiple walk-in parties get turned away at the door because the restaurant was fully booked for the night. What we ordered: Fish Taco: A+ Chicken Bomb: A+ Holy Beef: B+ Hunger: A

Fried calamari
Stephen L.

The reviews speak for themselves! This place (while relatively new) undeniably deserves 5 stars! I was able to try a whole bunch of different dishes and every single one was impressive. Appetizers: Fried Calamari ($14) - nice and soft; easy to chew with some slight crispiness Crispy Vermicelli ($17) - a very unique dish with perfectly crispy noodles topped with jumbo crab meat, apple slices, and scallions; a great blend of savory and sweet flavors Main courses: Hunger ($23) - a tasty take on a pad kee mao style dish with wide noodles and some tasty additions such as shrimp, pork sausage, and egg (and more) Massaman ($24) - super tender braised beef in a tasty sauce with peanuts, mashed potato, and brussel sprouts on the side Fish Fry ($27) - probably the most unique of all the dishes I tried, this interesting and beautiful dish featured nicely cooked red snapper tempura that was slightly crispy on the outside and soft and boneless on the inside Classic Pad Thai ($18) - a delicious classic Koon Fried Rice ($27) - another high quality classic Dessert: Ding Ding ($11) - a great dessert that is part classic but also part unique, featuring delicious coconut ice cream with some pineapple jam to add a sweet touch on top, along with palm seeds and peanuts on crispy coconut waffles Environment / Service: The restaurant has a beautiful interior with elegant Thai decor and a relaxed yet upscale vibe. There is plenty of seating available. The floor to ceiling windows allow for lots of natural sunlight. The staff are super friendly and the service speed is fast. Overall: Koon Thai Eatery really impressed me in all aspects and is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in NJ. I highly encourage all Thai food fans in the area to stop by!

First visit after waiting for this place to open. I'm a local Hillsdale resident as well as a restaurant owner. This place met my expectations with ease. Delicious lunch. I got something called the Hunger. Wide noodles with shrimp, sausage and cashews. So delicious with a nice spicy taste. Small starter salad and Thai Iced Tea. Perfect lunch portion. I'm so happy the food was delicious, and I have another local place in Hillsdale to eat and even takeout food. Looking forward to going back and trying different things. Yes I. Pearl was my server who actually turned out to be a friend of mine from years ago at a Thai restaurant in New York City. Was a great reunion very friendly and good service. Welcome welcome welcome to the neighborhood and I wish you lots of success.

Every dish hit the table hot and quickly without feeling rushed, which I always appreciate. Great casual lunch or dinner spot! Catch up with friends or enjoy a lowkey dinner without feeling rushed or overly formal Also love that this spot is BYOB. I paired my meal with a Thai iced tea -- flavorful and refreshing, just not overly sweet (which some people might actually prefer). Appetizers: The curry puffs were delicious -- flaky, flavorful, but I definitely wished there were more than three. Chicken satay was well executed, but the honey ribs completely stole the spotlight. Super tender, flavorful, and easily the must-order on the starter list. Entrees: We ordered the deep fried filet snapper (with white rice) and the chicken Khao Soi. The Khao Soi was the standout of the night -- perfectly cooked noodles and a rich, coconut curry broth that was easily 10/10. The snapper was fried beautifully, and the mixed vegetables tasted incredibly fresh and bright -- almost ceviche-like in flavor. Portions were satisfying enough that I had zero room for dessert, but this is absolutely a spot I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

If you do dine here, I suggest skipping the appetizers and going straight to the main course options. Regarding the apps, the duck pancake was actually in a green wrap (which seemed odd) and the sauce overpowered the bits of duck inside. The spring rolls were large and had what looked to be alternative meat or something with similar consistency and didn't seem overall that fresh. The fried spring rolls were "ok." The best thing was the pad prik with veggies and tofu which wasn't oily but also didn't feel like it was amazing. It appears you can order online when they're open which is a plus if you hate using the phone. I'll leave the caveat that I'm not a Thai food connoisseur but usually enjoy it. I wish that I felt more positive since it's a small business! Maybe I'd give them another chance if I was eating in the restaurant. Metered street parking and doesn't seem too hard to find parking. No credit card processing fee.

We ordered beef satay, Thai fried rice, duck chili basil, and chicken red curry. I also had a bowl of Tom Yum soup, which was excellent -- fresh ingredients, tasty, spicy, and refreshing. Everything was flavorful and well prepared as usual. We also had a bottle of Singha beer and Thai green iced tea -- both great, and the imported Thai beer here is still very reasonably priced at $5.95. The restaurant was busy during our visit, which is usually a good sign. A couple things caught us off guard this time. We asked for shrimp crackers to snack on before the food arrived -- something they used to give complimentary -- and later noticed a $5 charge for them on the bill. There was also a 3% credit card fee added with no mention of it beforehand. If costs are rising and adjustments are needed, that's understandable. Just be transparent about it so customers aren't surprised when the bill arrives. The food itself was still very good, but the unexpected charges took a little shine off the experience this time.

The chive dumplings?! Bro... don't sleep on these!! They were so effin gooood! YES SO DAMN GOOD. Green curry is always my favorite and I'm glad they didn't disappoint.

Four of us visited last night and noticed we were almost the only non-Asians in the place, that tells you it's authentic! We have never had a bad dish and this visit met all expectations. Thai flavors are always exceptional even if you are not a hot spice fan (like me). Three of us started with the Tom Kha Soup, perfect for cold night. Coconut broth with yummy veggies and just the right spices (Galangal is so unique). Shrimp or chicken added is very nice. I had the Pineapple Fried Rice which sounds boring for a main, but it's full of chicken, shrimp, and other flavorful goodies. We sometimes share as an app, but my favorite so must have one way or another. My son has the Duck Curry which was massive, very tender, almost no fat. He took on level 4 spice, not for me but I tried it, wow. The Masaman curry is always a big hit, daughter said it was great once again. Wife had Green Curry with Shrimp, "creamy with crisp vegetables, very good". Servers all seem to be family, and I believe most are. They all treat you with respect and the true care which adds to a nice experience. Ambiance is warm and nice, great spot for table talk. Prices are fair, and yes, they are still BYO! Keep up the great work!!

I was given a mini bag filled with jalapeños, basil leaves, limes, bean sprouts, sriracha packets, and hoisin sauce packets to complement the pho. Overall, the soup was absolutely dynamite and comforting. The broth had a superb flavor bomb, which made the entire meal extremely satisfying. I enhanced my bowl with the addition of jalapeños, basil leaves, lime juice, and sriracha sauce. The order was delivered in a timely manner. The staff member who assisted me over the phone was super kind, especially since I requested extra sriracha packets. The price point of the pho was nicely affordable.

They had two kinds of pho: one with three types of meat (rare steak, beef balls and brisket -$16) and one with one meat ($15) plus choice of additional protein at either $1 or $2 extra. Both were pretty good but we felt quite thirsty afterward from the sodium and seasonings. We enjoyed the tofu spring rolls (though the tofu was hard to pick out) and the summer rolls. There was a little miscommunication around the pho and what was included, and my pho came out with the wrong type of protein at first. But they fixed it in short order and were nice and accommodating. The actual space looks like a larger Chinese takeout place so nothing special there. There's also a sign that said to seat yourself and then order at the kiosk. The server was there and said he could serve us. But you can save money by just ordering at the kiosk or getting takeout. 3% more on credit card orders too. I guess the prices are what you get these days but felt it, maybe because of the lack of ambiance. The plaza is pretty sad looking, with some empty storefronts and smaller shops like a nail place, pizza, small Greek spot, and a Fresh Grocer. The plus side is parking is easy peasy.

First off, the staff was extremely nice, both on the phone while placing our order and during our seamless pickup. Though we took the food to-go, their dining room was certainly cozy and comfortable enough for dining in on another occasion. When we got home and unpacked the food, we saw that the portions were generous and that everything was well-packed. We started by sharing the unique, Handmade Thai Crepe Dumplings. The beautiful dark purple noodle wraps had been stuffed with peanuts and turnips, a spectacular flavor combination covering salty, nutty, and sweet profiles. I then had my Tom-Yum Soup, which had been served in a quart container that was about 2/3 full, so a bit more than a pint. The spicy, sour lemongrass broth was packed with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, and tender white meat chicken, which we had asked to be added. The soup had been prepared with a medium spice level that was ideal for the dish. However, the restaurant was not shy with their spices on the main courses! I went with my standard Pad Se-Ew with Chicken, for which I do not typically specify a heat level. However, the restaurant's menu mentioned that spice could be added between mild and extra hot. I asked for medium, but it was definitely more fiery than I had expected! However, the noodles were delicate and the Chinese broccoli was fresh and crisp. My mouth might have been a bit numb, but I could still tell that the dish was tasty! Everyone else loved their individual plates, though we all took note that we should be more careful with our requested spice levels going forward. In addition to our own meals, we shared an order of the Garlic Noodles with Chicken, since it was an unusual dish for a Thai restaurant. It contained sautéed, flat rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, scallions, garlic, sesame oil, and tender chicken. A mild heat level was perfect for this, as the lack of fire allowed the robust sesame and garlic notes to make an impact. Each piece of chicken was lean, moist, and tender. SOD Thai really exceeded my expectations and was definitely a local gem that we would order from again!

We most enjoyed the chicken empanadas (generous filling, good flavor), cod tacos, and vegetarian spring rolls. The tofu lettuce wrap didn't have a strong flavor even though it seemed to have a lot of sauce. The beef Jerky (a bit tough and chewy) and vegetarian dumplings were okay, but not favorite items.
