We were there 10/14/23 I wish we lived closer, the food was delicious! Sweet Chili Red Snapper was delicious. It was pieces of fish (glad it wasn't a whole fish) that were crispy on the outside and tender inside. The sauce was sweet and spicy delightful combination. I love whole fishes but hate eating them in a restaurant, so much work LOL Volcano Pork Shank (Osso Bucco Style) was a chef special and the pork was tender falling off the bone and spicy! Be careful if you can't handle the heat, ask them to make it mild lol Thai Iced Tea and Lychee Iced Tea, I'm so happy they offer the Lychee version as it does not use milk (dairy and me are not friends...) but still used the same tea as the Thai Iced Tea, YUM! I ordered a Shrimp Pad See Ew to take home and it was delicious. Pad See Ew is my go to at Thai restaurants, which makes it easy to compare. Even though I ate it the next day, the noodle was not soggy. It was not too sweet nor salty. My only comment is that there was only 4 jumbo shrimp, I would have prefer a bunch of small shrimps so I would be able to get a shrimp in every bite vs eating the shrimp separately from the noodles lol Service was excellent! If we're in the area will definitely stop in again! read more

We ordered take out from here this weekend. I ordered the grilled salmon with the mango salsa. I wouldn't call it a salsa but rather a mango salad which was very good and fresh. The salmon was a little bit dry. My husband ordered the shrimp pad Thai which he liked. We ordered the Thai rolls which were good. We also ordered the chicken sate for our son which he liked. Would order from here again. It is on the more expensive side. read more

Palm Thai - Salmon Mango - Thai Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

The food was just OK. Not so fresh and the pad Thai was oily. The Thai basil chicken was good

Saw the great reviews and thought I'd give them a try since they were 7 min from my job site this week. Their prices are definitely higher than other places I've gone to but it's totally justified! There's only street parking but I like that it's a large drawn rectangles unlike some street parking that's tiny and (you know what I mean lol). I ordered pad Thai (always my go to with new Thai restaurants) and it is so good, the shrimp is so fresh and HUGE. It's on the pricier side like I said but I say justified because the quality is so good. read more

Food was delicious. Service was amazing. Ambience was calm and collected. I came here on a Monday night. In this area, there's really not many restaurants open on Monday so it was a great find. The mushroom and peppers dish with chicken was fantastic, very flavorful And the peppers were fresh and crunchy. I also tried the emerald fried rice and I will give you the same description, minus the part about peppers! The food was a sufficient proportion, I was adequately stuffed at the end. But still had space for dessert! I tried the fried cheesecake. The presentation was very cute. The fried crust was delicious, and the cheesecake was good. All the foods here were good but for the price, I wouldn't order takeout from here. If I'm going to spend over $15 on food, I'd rather dine in but that's just me. But that's not to say the price wasn't worth the food. Enjoy! read more

We've never had a bad meal at Palm Thai. We always start with an order of the Thai Rolls, which are absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong with the Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles. The service is warm and inviting and the staff is extremely attentive. The ambiance is calm and comfortable. They always have great music playing, and it's not too loud. We come here every chance we get! read more

Like any great restaurant Palm Thai gets it right by starting with the freshest ingredients. I especially noticed this with the green salad which was tasty and crisp with a clean finish. You feel healthier immediately after you eat it! The chicken satay was served nice and hot with condiments that were very complimentary. The lemongrass soup has a inviting tart hotness but I preferred the coconut milk soup. The desserts are fantastic and you should not pass up the fried cheesecake or the carrot cake both were terrific. My son had the shrimp pad Thai and felt that the shrimp were not sautéed long enough to pick up adequate flavor. I highly recommend reservations for a weekend night ... It's a local favorite due to the superior food and moderate prices. (For Madison area) Jeff D. read more

We had takeout from Palm last night and it was delicious! The dumpling apps were light and flavorful and the Thai rolls were nice and crispy. We loved the Green Curry with chicken which was delightfully spicy. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! read more

Ordered from this restaurant for delivery. They called to say that an item wasn't available, were extremely rude to my fiance, hung up on her when she was having trouble understanding what the issue was and cancelled the order. Gave them another try because I had ordered 3 prior times without issue, and again they called, said they wouldn't make an item which was ordered on Grubhub, refused to cancel the order and basically said it was my problem to cancel. Luckily even though GrubHub system won't let you cancel the in process order unless you forgo a refund, they took care of it when I chatted with them. No reason for the restaurant to be rude and refuse to cancel an order. Will not be ordering again. read more

Some of the best Thai food i have ever had, hands down. I got chicken red curry and Tom kha gai. It was all super flavorful and delicious. I will be coming back, 100%. DELICIOUS. read more

What a find! Back story: We were in a bind- love Thai food, it's part of our standing rotation but our local place started serving really terrible food during quarantine. We wanted to support local businesses and would order in once a week. We started the hunt for a local Thai place with great food- enter Palm Thai. Great selection, options for spice levels, customization and consistent time after time. The duck rolls are unique to this place and worth trying if you like roasted duck. Green curry, pad Thai, pad kee maow and drunken noodles are delicious. If you haven't tried this place- give it a go you won't be disappointed. read more

We have been looking for a good spot for Thai food in the area since moving in. We decided to take out for the first time. We ordered and it was ready within 20mins, which was great especially during prime dinner time around 6. We ordered the chicken drunken noodles and the chicken green curry. Those are our usual go tos when getting Thai. The level of spicy was great for the drunken noodles. Definitely a medium spice, not too hot and not too mild. The noodles melted in your mouth. The green curry was great also, the one thing that definitely caught my attention was the way the eggplant in the curry was cooked. It tasted as if it was sautéed in olive oil first so it had the melting like butter taste when you would chew it. It was phenomenal! Highly recommend getting the green curry! It came with rice too to enjoy with. We will be coming back when we're getting Thai ! read more

I ordered through Postmates: drunken noodle with chicken, Se Ew with chicken, and dumplings. The dumplings were delicious and a good portion (6). The noodle dishes were a good portion, but as you get older, spice is not your friend, so I definitely had to eat the noodles over a handful of days. If you have a strong GI and not weak like mine, I recommend this place for sure! read more

Very good! Friendly service and food was spot on. Nice neighborhood for a stroll too.

This Thai restaurant is located on the main road through Madison, with parking in the back area as well as on the street for an hour. The staff was very friendly and got a seated very quickly for a group of nine, and we ordered off the lunch menu. Note that the lunch menu includes a rice and a salad but not a spring roll which had to be ordered separately, $2 for two. I ordered the Beef Pad See Ew which was reasonable, although I wish they were a little more vegetables instead of the thick noodle, the spring rolls were vegetable and okay with a dipping sauce. The salad was on the light side, with barely any sauce and a single slice of cucumber. I also had a Thai iced tea which was pretty good. The desert of mango sticky rice had purple rice which was okay, but the mango was delicious and ripe which made up for any rice shortcomings. Overall service was okay and the bathroom is clean. Food was good for most folks, and we do also order here for catering for larger events and they do an amazing short rib Curry. Note that for groups larger than a certain amount we were charged gratuity automatically. At least they take credit card. read more

Great food. Love the Phad Thai. Soups are wonderful too. Highly recommend. Nice location. read more

We ordered for pick up on Saturday evening. It was our first time ordering from this place - ever. Based on the reviews, we had high hopes for an excellent Thai dinner. The Thai crispy vegetarian rolls were tasty. Crisp but not greasy, with just the right amount of veggies to roll ratio. The dipping sauce was unusual - sweet and light, but really good. Next we tried the Shrimp Pad Thai. When we opened the container, it looked like a congealed mess of noodles with a few shrimp thrown in for good measure. There were a total of 5 medium shrimp in the order for $16. A little on the expensive side - even for Madison NJ. There was no tofu in the Pad Thai. I have been eating Pad Thai for maybe 15 years. I have never encountered such a boring version. Peanuts were mixed in, and there appeared to be some bits of egg, but that's about it. A wedge of lime was the only addition. It was also very clumpy, and very sweet with little other flavor. Definitely skip this item. We also had the Chicken Thai Basil for $15. This was a really good version - the flavor was on point with just enough spice! Lots of onions in this version, but it was so flavorful that it didn't matter. It does appear that they are trying to skimp a bit to save money, but during these times of Covid, they may want to give customers a reason to come back and order again - instead of giving them a reason to try other Thai restaurants right down the block. (Yup - next time we will try the "other" Thai place down the block...LOL) read more

The calamari tasted weird, but the spring rolls, drunken noodles and pad Thai were delicious. Huge plates also. Staff was nice. I did medium spice (I love spicy) but the pad Thai medium was spicyyy but still delicious and drunken noodles medium was just right. Prices are good too. Place is small I thought it was date night vibes from the photos from google but it's fairly small inside. read more

This place has the best tasting Thai food I've had in a long time. Pad Thai was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of sauce. I always liok for good Pad Thai and this was in the top 3. The curry was crazy delicious. Lots of vegan options along with gluten-free as well. Staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu and how food is prepared. Very clean and fast service. read more

Freshest Thai food I've ever had. The curry puffs are so light on the outside perfectly filled on the inside ~ spring rolls just as delicious. The tofu veggie dish I had used the freshest ingredients - I all but devoured my food. Service is really nice too. Highly recommend- this is definitely my favorite Thai restaurant ever. read more

Amazing place. From the outside you'd definitely miss it but the food quality should not be missed! The interior is not spacious, moreso on the cozy side borderline cramped but it was a full house when I had dinner here and the staff managed well. Let's talk about the food because it gets an A+. Had the mock dock and the spice was just right. It was moist, full of flavor, with the perfect portion. Also had some of the drunken noodles which were done just right with a healthy amount of tofu. This place was especially accommodating for vegetarians which was awesome. Our server was courteous and replenished our waters (spicy food means more water!) frequently despite how packed it was. This place deserves you business! read more

Less sweet than other Thai places in Madison. Okay to good services, depending on the volume of customers and orders. The quality is consistent. The prices are on the higher side compared to portions, but you are paying for its consistent quality. read more

I've noticed a decline in quality over the years. Palm thai has become way overpriced and the Thai Basil chicken was dry chicken and frozen veggies in water. For fifteen dollars you can get two tiny duck rolls that are also dry and stale tasting. Will not go back anymore. read more

The food is fresh & delicious every time. I haves tried almost everything on the menu from the traditional Pad Thai to the crispy chili snapper! Outstanding! The curries are fantastic and the chef makes it any heat level you like. The staff armrest friendly and go out of their way to know the customers by name. read more

Very good Thai food. Excellent service and clean restaurant make for a very nice meal. I had the Thai spring rolls they were great. Then tried the chicken dumpings which were very good. For the main course I had the drunken noodles with chicken. It was cooked perfectly and now might be one of my "craved" meals! Really really good. I will definitely be coming. Came back again and the place is awesome!!!! Definitely a local favorite! read more

I've been to Palm Thai before and really enjoyed it, but this time, not so much. They do a robust take out business & I'm willing to chalk this visit off as an off night. Our chief issue stems from the fact that there was one person waiting on and serving the whole restaurant, and this same person was handling all the take out business. (I am well aware that many restaurants and other businesses cannot seem to get people to work and I'm willing to assume this was the reason for the service issues we encountered. But having said this, I've also been to several restaurants lately where staffing was more than sufficient.) Some of our dishes were quite good but some were bland and drier than they should have been. We started with the thai rolls and dumplings. The thai rolls were good but the dumplings were tasteless. The shrimp pad Thai was fine but the chicken pad Thai was so bland and overcooked. It was so dry. The drunken noodles were good but not great as they have been in the past. The Salmon in the salmon mango also was overcooked although the mango part was good. We will go back and try it again based on our past experience there and hope that it lives up to past standards. read more

Terrible service Flies rampant in the restaurant The woman running the place is rude and treats customers waiting for pick up orders like an inconvenience Ordered for myself to pick up on DoorDash I got there 10 minutes after it said it would be ready I was told 5 more minutes So I waited in the front and after 15 minutes I approached again and a man told me he see about my order When I was waiting for my order I was yelled at for not waiting by the front door I am a customer but she assumed I was a delivery driver and she treats drivers like dirt That is disgusting The drivers are making your business money read more

Great food and great service. What more do you want? Palm Thai hits the spot all the time.

We've always enjoyed your food but changing your credit card reader so that the tipping options are now 20%, 22%, or 23% (instead of 15%,18%,20%) is simply rude. I know there is a "custom tip" option but that takes more time to do. read more

This place has been a goto for me for almost 4 years . We love the place and the service before and during the pandemic . Being vegetarians we have a lot of options . My favs over the years has been the tofu drunken noodles, se ew, the fried rices , the soups , the curries , iced tea and also the pad Thai. The latest surprise was the tofu prik khing which we loved. In general great place for vegetarians . Have taken a lot of friends and family to this place over the years and they have all loved it. Strongly recommend. read more

Leave this here for people to see. My review is not of the food, as I did not try it and you'll see why. Some background: Ordered a meal for pick-up. Because of COVID-19 and it being Friday evening, I understand that there is extra time needed and businesses are doing their best during this time. Now on to the experience: I went to pick up my order, the business is empty of tables/chairs, and they block the entrance so one person at a time has to wait to pick up their order (good, as expected). But when I look inside, which you can see straight into the kitchen, no cook was wearing masks or gloves that I could see (I saw what I believe was two different cooks). The person I would consider a manager was walking in and out of the kitchen, also without masks and the lady answering the phones, taking orders and giving people their orders had a mask but would slide it off when talking on the phone (at one point going into the kitchen without it on). Needless to say I asked for my order to be canceled. I understand this is a difficult time, but protocols have to be followed and I won't let things like these slide with businesses. read more

We stumbled upon this place one random Friday evening. Without reservation, we still obtain seating without a wait. The restaurant has a hole in the wall feel to it with very friendly staff. In a sense, there's a Classic Thai joint. Upon taking our seats, reviewed the expansive menu. Settling on the Tom kha soup which was served in a very fancy appearing Bowl. Their take on the Tom kha soup was perhaps a little different. I believe there's a small amount of bacon which made for an interesting flavor. I was a fan of the soup. Moving on for my main course, I chose Panang Curry. Again, this was a hit. It was mildly spicy what's good flavor. I ordered the shrimp Curry and there were large number of shrimp. The white rice was nicely done. Dessert with carrot cake which was served warm. It's capped a fine meal. read more

This week is the week of 5 stars I guess. This was one of maybe 3 Thai places in town so I had to try the one rated the highest and it didn't disappoint. I read reviews about the drunken noodles and everyone said get it. So I got the drunken noodles which was amazing! Everything was cooked and mixed to perfection. The noodles were perfect, the chicken was tender, plenty of bell peppers and onions, etc. I also got the Tom yum lemongrass soup which was equally as flavorful. It definitely hits you with lemongrass which I loved. It was starred as spicy but it wasn't even close. I almost felt like none was added, but it was still good. Finally I got the pepper chicken which was not as good, but I liked the charred flavor. Overall, delicious flavors but portions were tiny! This is probably the most expensive I've paid for such a small portion in a long time, but I'd still come back for those drunken noodles. Service was quickly, friendly, and attentive. 2 waitresses/servers, but I came on a Sunday afternoon so there weren't many customers to begin with. It is located off the main street so easy to find. Can't wait to come back. Again, pricey but good. Averaged $14 for regular entrees. They had seafood dishes that were $22+. read more

I was excited to get takeout from Palm Thai today as I've been to another location that they have in Mooristown Madame Thai Cuisine. I had my heart set on ordering their homemade warm carrot cake topped with cream cheese as it's absolutely delicious! They make the best homemade desserts I ever had at a Thai restaurant! Unfortunately, it was unavailable today, but hopefully next time they'll have it! I had the mango salad with tomato, carrots, and cilantro in a chili lime dressing. It was excellent! The salad and the ingredients were so fresh and crisp. The chili lime dressing gave it a nice kick of Thai flavor to it. I was quite impressed! For dinner I had the pad Thai with extra chicken. It was nice portion size, and the sweet and tangy saucy was DELICIOUS! The only thing is there wasn't any crushed peanut in it. But, nonetheless, I was very pleased with the flavor! For dessert the had a fried cheesecake with Raspberry sauce. It was AMAZING! The cheesecake was nice and creamy, and the Raspberry sauce complimented it very well! As I said you have to try one of their desserts! I never usually like desserts from a Thai restaurant, but the owner here makes the best desserts! Ask if the carrot cake or banana Nutella cake is available if not you will love the fried cheesecake! One thing I do recommend is expanding the menu here as it's limited. Add the fried fish cake appetizer and crab rangoon to the appetizers. Also add the pineapple and crab fried rice dishes to the entree menu. Those are dishes I'd love to order here. I highly recommend Palm Thai in Madison! read more

I'll start off with saying that if you've been to Thailand and you expect something to compare to that, well you might as well just buy yourself a ticket to Bangkok or Chiang Mai. If you have realistic expectations, given the fact that you are hours from any metropolitan area, this little Thai restaurant delivers quite authentic notes of Thai cuisine. Not to say that everything is good because the pad we had was closer to flavorless. read more
