N Thai Palace 2 JFK Blvd. Somerset, NJ 08873 Chicken Satay Pineapple Fried Rice This halal restaurant is a hidden gem that I just discovered. The ambiance is very pleasing and it is also an ideal spot for a date night. Chicken Satay: The grilled chicken skewers came with a cup of peanut dipping sauce. I had a gut instinct that I was going to g to enjoy peanut butter flavored sauce with the chicken because I previously explored a similar chicken entrée at another restaurant. The chicken was tender and juicy. Although I really enjoyed this plate, I would have preferred to have it without the skewers because I don't feel they are necessary. Pineapple Fried Rice: This rice plate was so fulfilling it practically ate like a meal. It included nuts, mixed vegetables, and mini tofu squares. It was well seasoned with the perfect amount of heat. Although I chose "medium" heat, it was still very spicy. For this reason, I am reluctant to make it any spicier. I was more than satisfied and in looking forward to exploring more dishes. #nthaipalace #pineapplefriedrice #chickensatay #thaicuisine #njthaicuisine #somersetnj read more

Stopped in for a late weekday lunch. Nicely decorated, soothing music and polite staff. Had four lunch specials and an appetizer of fried calamari. The specials $14.99 incl an app - veg spring roll, coriander soup or a nice papaya salad. Then four cans of soda and four entrees - pad thai; singanore noodles; drunken noodles and basil noodles. All were great, some a little more spicy than we requested, but we had plenty to eat and they were good. Left with twi take out trays full of the four entrees for linch the next day. Definitely will visit again. read more

The presentation of the entrees is really well done and impressive. They do their best to accomodate for food allergies and have really attentive service. My sister's boyfriend eats halal which is what brought our family to explore this restaurant. The atmosphere is super chill, with smooth jazz playing at the perfect volume. I ended up having an allergic reaction to my entree, so I skipped dessert. Everyone expressed that the dessert left much to the imagination and tasted "regular". Overall, the kind and attentive service, along with the large portions and affordable pricing, made for a great family dinner outing. P.S. My mom wanted me to note that the waiter was the best part of our entire dinner experience. read more

Rudest guy ever, had a reservation and explained that people in our party got into a car accident and it was going to be just two. He goes are you gonna pay for five then? Being snarky and I'm trying to be nice and ask if there's anything we could figure out he starts huffing and puffing I'm like okay great cancel our reservation don't have to eat here. Turned around left walking to our car he comes running and I'm like no thank you cause why were you so loud and rude in the first place if you could have seated us anyway. read more

Was initially in the mood for pad thai, but opted to try this intead. I'm incredibly picky but this dish (pad see ew) was amazing. It was seasoned perfectly and filling but not overly heavy. Topped it with oregano and cayenne pepper and it was truly divine. read more

As one of the only halal Thai spots in the area, I guess you gotta take what you can get but NO, just take the L on eating some meat and go somewhere that provides authentic flavors even if you have to eat vegetarian. "Pad Thai" tasted like it was flavored with ketchup, most other dishes like the Garlic Chili Chicken taste like they're "Chinese" (in quotes because of the generic flavors those of us - me included I'll admit many times - as Chinese) or bafflingly Italian (looking at you "Drunken Noodles"). Ok so there are a few good items here and there. Thai Beef Steak is tender and juicy. The presentation for Pineapple Fried Rice is cool because it comes in half a pineapple carved out. But overall what N Thai provides in presentation and quantity don't make up for a lack of authentic flavors, preparation, or quality. read more

Tried their Basil Fried Rice (vegetarian) and 10/10 recommend it. Just too good. Yelp shows Free Thai Iced Tea on check-in and when I asked for it, I was told that the offer was only for the East Brunswick location. Please see the screenshot, the location clearly shows Somerset. We were rushing for a movie so didn't want to argue but my request would be to either take down the check-in offer if you're not willing to fulfill it. read more

Been to the east brunswick location a few times and enjoyed it. First time at Somerset location. Ordered the red curry, curry beef and fried rice. Fried rice was good. Curry beef was great and red curry was flavorful but the chicken in it was gross. I've never felt this way about their food before. Overall food was decent but utensils looked quite overused. Service was great and waiters were very understanding and helpful. Nice people and great ambiance, definitely worth a visit. read more

I come here nearly every other month to satisfy my craving for Thai food and it never disappoints! **Tues nights are 50% off entrees for ladies!!** My friends and I went for Ladies' Night on a Tuesday evening around 8pm and the restaurant was practically empty with plenty of available tables. They have hand sanitizer at the door and parties are spaced out well at their respective tables. My go-to dish here is the Chicken Pad See Ew, but I've tried several of their items and each one has been delicious! I also recommend the Drunken Noodles and the Pineapple Fried Rice, which is super refreshing and comes in a cut pineapple! Their dishes are not only tasty but also presented well and brouquickly. My friends and I couldn't resist coming back again! This time, we came on a Thursday evening for the Students' Night discount. **Thurs nights are 50% off entrees for students!!** (must show a school ID) I got the Drunken Noodles with Medium Spice -- perfect if you love spicy food, but if not, I would go with the Mild. I also got a Thai Iced Tea which was so delicious! If you're looking for an appetizer, the Roti Canai is my favorite (I think the curry has peanuts in it, so watch out if you have any allergies). The spring rolls are also a classic choice you can't go wrong with. Although I'd love to give 5 stars for the food and discounts alone, I was very disappointed in the service. There was only 2 staff members, so I understood why service was a little slow. But one of them was unfriendly and not welcoming. They offer the 50% discounts almost every weeknight, but it seemed like they were unhappy when we actually asked for the discounts to be applied to our bill. read more

It's been years since we ate here. It was awesome!! Hidden, quiet but most importantly delicious. We will be back.

Ordered chicken pad see ew and chili lamb. Both were medium spicy but not unbearable. Portions were generous - shared amongst two of us and still had enough leftovers for another person. Service was friendly just not attentive, particularly towards the end. We'd been there for a while but the hostess stopped checking in. When handing us the to-go boxes, she accidentally dropped one on the floor, quickly picked it up claiming it landed right side up. Even if it did, I think she should have gotten a new one. read more

I love this dish!!!!! I've had this and the bami goreng (which I forgot to take a picture of) and they are both such delicious dishes. I have only ever ordered from here through DoorDash so I can't comment on the service or the ambiance but in my opinion, both of these dishes deserve a 5/5 review.

N Thai Palace - Chili Garlic Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

N Thai Palace offers a wide variety of Thai dishes to please the most discerning of patrons. The option for Halal Thai food is only limited to a few restaurants so this was a treat for us. Food ordered, tom yum soup, panang beef curry, spicy tamarind chicken, spicy chili lamb, calamari, chicken satay , spicy Thai chicken wings, sweet and spicy shrimp noodles; thai iced tea to wash it all down. Yep on vacation mode with my family. Portions were generous and price was affordable. What did we liked the best ? Everything! If I had to be picky it would be the lamb over the beef dish. The lamb was obviously more tender but the beef was not lacking flavor either. Calamari was a bit hard as it became colder. The sauce for all dishes had deep intense flavor and not overly drowning. Presentation was addressed by beautiful garnished orchids , carved carrots and string/ julienned beets Our server was attentive, quick and knew the menu well. He was shocked how many dishes we ordered for 4 people but quickly realized we were going to go through it like a tornado! read more

We decided to try N Thai today for delivery and we ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and Shrimp Pad See Ew. I'm a huge fan of pad see ew and while this dish was good it definitely wasn't my favorite of our local restaurants. I'll say the noodles were decently fresh but not as springy as it could have been. Also, the pad see ew was definitely very salty for me. I like my pad see ew a bit less salty and a touch sweeter. The dish came with six decently sized shrimp. My husband like his chicken pad Thai and I will say that the portion size in comparison to my pad see ew was quite large/generous. He said he enjoyed it and is comparable to other local Thai restaurants we have tried. I would probably order here again but if I have my choice in eating in at another restaurant, I probably would. Solid three stars in terms of overall good experience for me here. read more

OVerall I like the experience with service and ambience, the food is okay, some days better than others.

Finally tried N Thai Palace after living so close to it for a while. The food was good but not the traditional Thai food that I am used to. It did not satisfy my Thai food cravings at all. I will say that all their food is Halal which I think is a nice benefit of going here. All in all, I don't think N Thai will be my go to Thai spot as I do enjoy other Thai restaurants in the area much better. read more

Food is great. We were a group of people and everyone liked the food. Fish was especially good.

Came here on Christmas day for dinner with my lady. I had the red snapper in a spicy ginger sauce. I love the fact that they take the time to debone the fish and serve it whole. The taste was on point. My lady had the pineapple fried rice and it was served in a pineapple shell. The rice was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed our dinner. The only reason for the 4 and not 5 stars is that it is not a true thai restaurant. It's more of a halal fusion place. read more

Came to this restaurant with my friend and it was an okay experience! The interior isn't very nice so don't recommend coming here for a special occasion. There were also no other people eating when I went so not sure how popular the place is but it killed the vibe a little bit. Ordered the drunken noodles and the chicken pad thai which were both good but nothing out of the extraordinary. Their food is on the less spicy side so I had to ask for extra chili sauce even though I asked for a higher spicy level. Really nice presentation of the meal though! Overall nothing wrong with the place, just not the best Thai I've had. read more

Thought of trying a Thai place other than Aroma, in the neighborhood. Been to N Thai in East Brunswick in the past, but were still a little skeptical of trying this one in Somerset. And to be honest, not at all disappointed! Lived up to it's name and reputation. Food was good, flavorful, colorful and presentation was really nice. Chicken Satay had that Indian spices flavor, kind of the same that I use when I cook, but was still good. The portions were pretty good as well. Definitely worth visiting again. read more

While it's not easy accommodating and keeping everyone happy especially with food, the staff at the restaurant does a great job. If you haven't tried this place yet, my advice would be to go and ask for Raja. Raja takes good care of you and makes you feel welcome. Occasionally he might crack a joke on you here and there so do bring your sense of humor. He make great recommendations and you can just tell him what you're in the mood for and he'll get you exactly what you want. Another gentlemen works along Raja and he also takes good care of you. The restaurant gives you a local business vibe and a chill atmosphere and run several specials throughout the week (students, senior citizens, ladies night etc). The food: -Big fan of the rice dishes and can eat it almost every day. -Great variety of vegetarian options -Sharable portions -Halal! -Noodles can optionally be spicy and have a nice kick #askforRaja read more

This place is horrible . we had about 12 people in our party HOWEVER our food arrived after the 8 people who came AFTER us . never come here

Good food but clueless service, if only there was a way to write down who ordered what .. When lunch finally reached our big group it was spicy & yummy & presented beautifully but the wait was brutal. On a Tuesday with the restaurant maybe 1/3 full we waited 30 minutes for cans of soda and 45 minutes for spring rolls & soups. Then the food eventually appeared after 55 minutes but the food runners didn't have any idea which end of the table should get the pad thais, the curries nor the stir frys. Our waitress returned to argue a bit with us about who ordered what. Bring patience you're gonna need it. Further disappointment, we had to remind them to bring rice for the curries and stir frys, plus the Pad Thai and Singapore-style noodle dishes arrived with fat yellow wheat noodles instead of thin white rice noodles. Vegetarian rating: 5 stars, seriously, *every* item on the lunch menu is available with tofu & veg instead of animal protein. read more

This is not the original N Thai Palace, but they have the same owners. Food: Good quality and taste of food, and a fair portion. Entrees will fill you up. I anticipate the quality will continue to improve. They have high levels of spiciness upon request. We tried the drunken noodles and pad see ew. Next time, we plan to try the summer rolls. Not all menu items from their first location is available here (yet). Service: Staff is friendly and patient. We were greeted with a smile. Ambiance: Quiet. Value: While they are priced similarly to other Thai restaurants, they have various promos during the week. By the way, takeout is convenient, but the waiting area is small. Call ahead! read more

I order food from them just about once a month and I'm never disappointed. They go above and beyond whether I'm dining in or taking out! I love their pad Thai and their tamarind chicken, those are my most consistent orders. I accidentally ordered from the restaurant in East Brunswick once meaning to order from Somerset and they were really kind. The Somerset location remade my order for me right then and didn't make me repay for it. I really love this place!! read more

This location is a bit congested, so if you have to make the left off of JFK to get into this place go when the traffic is a little on the light side. The service was very good here, the owner was seating people and all three servers who were there helped me at some point. Even on a Sunday night, it was pretty crowded, which brings me to another point... The other Thai place in the area that I love is closed Sundays, so if you want good Thai food Sunday this is one of your two options. While the food was good, it was not as spicy as I like. Since this was my first time trying the place I won't hold it against them though, but do know it may take one or two visits before you figure out the level of spice you want. Although I wish the food was a little spicier it was still very good an the presentation was A+ material. They really went above and beyond to not only make the dish taste good but to also make it look good. If I want Thai on Sunday nights, this will be my go-to place going forward, but it still will not replace my #1 in the area. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

I ordered from N Thai Palace in Somerset today. I ordered the Drunken Noodles and the Black Pepper Shrimp. Let's start with the Drunken Noodles...this was not what I expected as I have had Drunken Noodles (aka Pad Kee Mow). I've had this dish plenty of times at other restaurants and never have I had this in a tomato herb-y sauce. This was terrible. I had chicken and shrimp. The noodles and shrimp were over cooked and mushy. Not sure how you can get this dish wrong. I also ordered the black pepper shrimp. Not one ounce of black pepper. I thought they got the order wrong and added the pepper to the noodles, but nope it's dried herbs that looks like black pepper flakes. Needless to say, I won't be back. I had high hopes but I definitely disappointed read more

Tried this place the other day as it was really close. Went in just to pick up and realized It's a really nice sit down restaurant. We ordered pad Thai, massamman curry, chicken satay, and fried ice cream. The satay wasn't impressive. The chicken wasn't well seasoned and the peanut sauce seemed to be really thin. The sauce is really supposed to be the star here and I was let down. The pad Thai was ok, not one of the best I've had, lacked flavor in my opinion. The stars here were the curry and the fried ice cream. The curry is super flavorful, I got medium but you can really taste the heat and it was sooo good! One suggestion is to add more veggies/meat. Mostly this was just the curry gravy itself, we had maybe a few peppers and some potatoes. I've had curries in the past that really focus on veggies. The flavor was amazing though. Def would love this on a cold rainy day. The fried ice cream was a hit as well, it's one of my favorite desserts so had to try it here! Wouldn't mind trying this again but probably will stick with the curries read more
