    Tempura Shrimp
    Emma K.

    Cute little Thai spot in Pearl River. Service was good, and food came out faster than I expected. We ordered tempura shrimp and vegetable dumplings for the table for appetizers. For an entree I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp. The pad Thai had a different flavor than I am used to, a little more spicy, but it was still good. Overall I would come here again if I was in the area. Our friends also mentioned that they have a good take out.

    Thai Iced Tea

    The thai iced tea was one of the best I've had. The service was quick and attentive. The pancake duck wasn't for my particular taste, but the chicken pad see ew was amazing.

    Spicy Papaya salad.  Nice blend of heat and citrus.

    This place has so much character. Friendly staff and really authentic food. I walked in and the place was bustling with takeout traffic at level I have not seen as of late during these times. The establishment is Covid compliant and offer optional patron screening. Patrons are appropriately distanced and the place is impeccably clean. The staff is gracious, professional and attentive. The menu can be made gluten free/vegan. The medley of savory spices and flavors have me wondering where this establishment as been all my life! I had drunken noodles with vegetables and it hit the palatable spot! They do serve alcohol. They can also accommodate larger parties without anyone feeling uncomfortable in today's times. I would definitely recommend this place and will be returning in the near future to try some of the other entrees like the new Grilled Sesame Tuna over salad with ginger dressing. This hidden gem is a gem indeed. Definitely check it out!

    Their homemade sauces, it's not crazy spicy but a real nice unique taste.

    Came here earlier today for family date night when they just opened 5pm. We were the first to get seated and boy did it get busy quick. I believe it was the owner, owners husband and another worker. All Handling tables, the bar and pick up/take out orders in person and phone. I must say they are def on point with service just as much as they are with their food! Wish I took pics of the menu, not realizing there wasn't any on here. But there is a menu on their site which seems pretty accurate to me. Let's just say I'm Cambodian and Chinese aka our food is very similar to Thai cooking. It felt like my mom cooked for me. Hats off to the chef! I only wish I wasn't vegetarian and could of tried everything we ordered! Appetizers we had MEE GROB and TAO HOO TOD. Super jealous I didn't taste the mee grob cz it looks so tasty! The boys loved it and saved some of the noodle to top off their entrees for a extra crunch. The Tao hoo tod was great, it was like a puffed tofu but juicy. Which I've used puffed tofu many times and it was always dried so hey whatever you guys do to them? Keep it up cz it works! I had the MIXED VEGETABLE PAD PHED and it def has a kick of heat but with the rice mixed in? It calmed it down plus sips of beer always helps haha Husband had the pad Thai and said the flavor was great. It wasn't over powering as usually other places put way too much fish sauce and sugar that everything else cancels out. So it was a good balance. Our son had the drunken noodle and said it was good but I saw him pushing away too much aka less noodle than he expected. Can't actually comment on the taste tho. It was our first time coming and def won't be our last. We live only 7 mins away and yet never seen this place. It's In a cute lil town on the border line of ny and nj. Parking meters are everywhere, everyone wore a mask, social distancing and no overcrowded seatings. Portions were pretty big as well and decent price. I believe there was a cc charge which I didn't bother reading to see why. I mean come on we're in a pandemic... I'll gladly give a few extra bucks to support the locals. Overall I had a great experience and I just couldn't resist to write a review. Hopefully y'all give this place a shot and enjoy it as much as we did.

    Summer rolls- perfect!
    Su C.

    The owners and the servers are extremely fun to talk to. The servers will never allow a cup of water to be empty - extremely important for us on these hot summer days! Lol They have a decent bar and great service. The food is authentic and delicious, and you get to order your preferred spicy level! My favorites were the summer rolls and the chicken drunken noodle. These Thai dishes are packed with flavor--not too sweet, not too fishy and not too spicy. Definitely check this place out; you won't regret it!

    Kwan's Bang Bang Shrimp
    Michelle S.

    This is the best Thai food I've ever had! I always get the bang bang shrimp and the chicken pad Thai (spicy). They're delicious! Tonight I got the keanh kiew wan which is green curry with coconut milk, eggplant, chili and sweet basil leaves. I got it with chicken. It comes with rice. It was out of this world! It's great if you're gluten-free as well they offer a lot of options. I know my presentation doesn't do it justice but I got my food to-go tonight. I will continue going to this spot and making others come with me as well. Definitely my favorite Thai spot around!

    Walking into Grub, I had a good feeling and I wasn't disappointed. If you're looking to share small…read moreeclectic bites, you'll find plenty to like. This Asian fusion spot in a nondescript plaza has a large menu with a lot of small plates/street food, baos (with varying fillings), tacos/quesadillas/tostadas, curry, traditional Asian dishes, poutine, burgers, noodles like pad thai and plenty of veg-friendly items. 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. We didn't order any items that were larger portion and it's very easy to rack up the bill with $9-12 small bites. Inside, you could forget that you're in suburbia because this place is pretty trendy. There's artwork and words on the wall and the menu tries to be clever (succeeds in some ways but not necessarily to grammar snobs). There's a 3% surcharge for credit card purchases. There's a Chinese food restaurant and Taimoca coffee place in the plaza as well.

We ordered the softshell crab, portobello bulgoggi and chicken lettuce wraps for appetizers. The portobello bulgoggi was my favorite of the 3. The softshell crab was good, but it was a bit heavy with the batter and I couldn't taste much crab. For the main meal, our group ordered the chicken Roti, coconut garlic rice with both chicken and duck, and a garlic ramen. The coconut garlic rice was very nice, but the duck while tasty, was battered and fried. All the dishes were good but all the dishes were heavily seasoned and a bit heavy. Next time, I would lighten up the meal with a salad. Interesting menu and worth a try.

Not sure if they used a fusilli, gemelli, or cavatappi, but it tasted like microwaved overcooked pasta. I was expecting a spaghetti, linguini, or bucatini for the frutti di mare and penne, ziti or rigatoni for the a la vodka, so just the choice of pasta was a surpenned, the fact that we got the same for 2 very different dishes indicated that that was the only pasta they had in the kitchen. All said, it would've been totally fine if both dishes didn't taste like mush. And both sauces tasted nearly identical. Sad, because service was great and the other dishes were absolutely phenomenal. They ran out of the ramen that day so I suspect that's a popular dish as well. I would just stick with the fusion style dishes. If my rating was based on the two fusion plates I had, would definitely be 4 stars!

    Asian Fusion Meets Pub Food: A Delightful Dilemma…read more The biggest challenge at this restaurant is deciding what to choose! With an array of intriguing options alongside classic pub fare, the menu is an adventure! It's small but comfortable and well decorated. The service was quick and friendly. I started with a lychee martini, perfectly paired with Korean Short Rib Tacos. The balance of flavors was impeccable--neither too sweet nor too stiff, with a texture that was just right. The tacos delivered a burst of flavor that did not disappoint. We also tried the Bahn Mi, which had great flavor, though it might not make our reorder list. A favorite from the pub menu was fried pickles. A must-have at every restaurant I visit, served as coins--the only proper way, in my opinion. The breading was thick, crispy, and well-seasoned, reminiscent of a chicken nugget. In the most delicious way. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. This place is definitely on our list of regular haunts.

The combination of ube and matcha is unbelievably creamy, smooth, and rich without being overly sweet. The ube has that perfect nutty vanilla-like flavor with a deep, authentic taste, while the matcha is earthy, bold, and balanced beautifully. Swirling the two together makes every bite even better. What really stands out is the texture it was light, fluffy, and silky soft serve that melts perfectly. The flavors taste fresh and premium, not artificial at all. The presentation is also gorgeous, making it almost too pretty to eat. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staffs make the experience even better.

    Robin's Creamery was a bit of a letdown this time around…read more When we walked in, there was only one person working and we waited at least 10 minutes while he prepared just a few drinks. Not really sure why it took that long, but it was definitely frustrating just standing there. We eventually ordered four cones (ube and matcha)...and giving credit where it's due, the ice cream itself is still very good. It's creamy, flavorful, and consistent with what we had on a previous visit. That said, the portions felt off this time. The cones didn't seem as full, and what really stood out was that each one had a noticeable hollow center -- almost like the middle was missing. Sign. For $9 a cone, that just shouldn't happen. Last time I was here, it felt like a 5-star spot. This visit? Not there at all. Still good ice cream, but between the wait and the portion issues, it didn't live up to the price.
