    Pad See Ew, Panang Curry
    Justine W.

    Solid spot in Metuchen for Thai food. I ordered the pad see ew with chicken and Panang curry and it was delicious. The place was pretty packed on a weekend with alot of people coming for pickup. Ambiance was really nicely decorated. The workers are really attentive and friendly, and food came out quick, portions were good too. I would definitely be coming back.

    Golden Curry Puff
    Srinanda G.

    Everyone would always tell me this was the best Thai food in the area. And it was good (you get solid portion sizes and the food is flavorful), but I do think it was a bit overhyped for me. Some of the menu items did seem a little hit or miss. The pad kra pao was one of our favorite dishes, was spicy and had the perfect ratio of spice to chicken to vegetables. On the other hand, skip the golden curry puff, it was way too doughy. The green curry and drunken noodles were both good, and we asked for them to be extra spicy. It was a little harder to tell with the green curry, but that's also a coconut-based curry, so it kind of masks the spice a bit. We asked for increased spice for the Thai fried rice as well, and it was not spicy at all. My biggest con with this place was the service. We asked for extra napkins for the table and they brought out one napkin for a table of 5, and this happened on multiple occasions with several people. They also did not switch our plates out between appetizers and entrées, so it felt a bit odd to eat our entrées on small plates. They were also slightly stingy with water for the table.

    I've been wanting to go to this place for YEARS and my friends newly moved near here so I was able to finally try it and they did not disappoint. The dishes were bursting with flavor and they had some Thai street food as well which I enjoyed. Service was great. Ambiance was....ok - from the outside it looks like a normal restaurant and inside they decorated it really really well. I wouldn't say fine dining but definitely a nice hole in the wall type place. We got the following: Phuket Appetizer for 2 - included 2 chicken satay (delicious), 2 curry puffs (good, but I don't like potato so meh for me), noodle salad (SO good), 2 vegetable spring rolls (decent) Sautéed noodles Phuket style- honestly didn't know what I was expecting but they definitely taste very street food style and I really enjoyed them. They're very different from the regular Thai noodles. Green curry- spicy but tolerable and tasty!! If you're not really a spice person, would not recommend. It came with white rice Thai Fried Rice - I tasted like an onion and tomato roast base in this. Typically fried rice I feel is a bit drier but here it was not saucy but there was something in there that made the rice burst with flavor. Matcha yuzu- def recommend! A nice light fizzy drink. Majority of the taste is matcha Dessert- I really wanted to try one from their vast menu but I was sooooo full from the rest of the meal. Maybe next time :)

    Duck Honey

    Came here as a recommendation. A deceptively large venue in the heart of Metuchen. Metered street parking all around, & some paid lots nearby. Bright, but warm lighting, friendly but fast staff. Interior truly embraces the culture with lots of gold & even a golden temple shrine as the center piece. The interior of this place is truly beautiful. A lot of Thai Asian people there. The place was very busy, but extremely efficient. It's always a good point when the local culture has a heavy customer presence. This place is BYOB, but they do have their own Mocktail menu. We had Duck Honey, Pineapple Fried Rice, Duck Pad Thai, & a Lychee Iced Tea. Everything was AMAZING! I completely understand why this place is so popular. They just knocked my former number 1 spot down to number 2. Excellent, will be back! Grades: Lychee Iced Tea: A Duck Honey: A++ Pineapple Fried Rice: A+ Duck Pad Thai: A++

    Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle)
    Aqeel T.

    One of the best Thai restaurants in the area with flavors that are comparable to the famous Thai restaurants in NYC! I usually get the shrimp drunken noodles and they consistently deliver on quality and bold, authentic flavors. The noodles are perfectly cooked, the shrimp are fresh and tender, and the sauce has that ideal balance of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet. The service is always friendly, attentive, and efficient. The staff makes you feel welcome right away and they're great about answering questions or accommodating spice level preferences. Even during busy times, the food comes out quickly and everything feels well organized. The ambiance is cozy, clean, and inviting. It's a great spot whether you're dining in for a relaxed meal or grabbing takeout. The atmosphere feels comfortable and authentic without being over the top -- just a solid, enjoyable place to sit down and enjoy a quality meal.

    Dinner here was a mixed experience. The service definitely wasn't the best. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 5 - 10 minute wait for our group. They seemingly forgot about us even after I checked back in with them. When we were finally seated, we were brought to a room in the back that was rather dilapidated looking compared to the aesthetically pleasing rooms in the front. The wait staff did not check on us often and there were several communication issues when we were ordering. On the other hand, the drinks and food that we ordered were excellent. The Thai ice tea had a strong tea taste and my curry had great depth of flavor. Maybe we'll stop by again when we're in the area and hopefully have a better experience.

    Had my 50th birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint. A friend referred this spot and I'm so happy she did. Let's start by how cute and quant it is. The staff were friendly and attentive. All 10 of us enjoyed our meals and they even brought out my birthday cupcakes added candles and sang happy birthday. It's reasonably priced and you get a good amount of food. Very flavorful and the presentation was great. I can't wait to go back!

    Beef drunken noodles
    Maggie H.

    The ambience is amazing from the lighting to decor. Best part of the meal had to be the roti Thai style. The massaman chicken curry soup it came with as the dipping sauce was delicious and hot. The Thai tea was really sweet but had the right Thai flavor notes. I got the regular size for $5. Drunken noodles had a kick to it but not spicy. It was kind of oily too, and the beef was dry and very chewy. This was about a 3/5 for me, average drunken noodles with a good kick to it. There's street parking right at front, free after 7pm, as well as some free residential parking a few streets away. Atmosphere was fairly loud with the number of tables packed inside.

    Been on the hunt for a new Thai spot and this one will do the trick! So many times when I've ordered takeout, the noodles aren't as flavorful and more on the oily side. Luckily, this was a hit! I got the drunken noodles (spicy) and red curry (spicy) both of which were packed with flavor! I would recommend the curry over the noodles if you're stuck between the two, but can't go wrong either way. Generous portions! Can't speak to the restaurant ambiance and service as I ordered delivery, but I'm sure it will taste even better fresh

    Thai Spring Rolls
    Yasmine G.

    Had a great time with a friend- the decor was really nice, loved the lanterns and lights hanging from the ceiling and gold temple statue in the middle. We got the Thai spring rolls for appetizers, which were perfectly crispy and the sweet dipping sauce was delish. I had the drunken noodles and pad preaw wan. Both were delicious and flavorful- my friend's spice tolerance is on the lower side lol and she found the level 1 spice more spicy than she expected so keep that in mind when ordering. The service staff were friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back soon!

    Good ambience and nicely presented dishes. The food was good -- not disappointing, but not particularly surprising either. They also offer a lunch menu, which is a nice option.

    Chalita P.

    I had the chicken Pad Kee Mao at Phattra Thai and was impressed! The dish was flavorful with just the right amount of spice (medium) and the noodles were perfectly cooked not too soft, not too chewy. Pad kee mao has always been my top go to dishes when I order Thai. They added mushrooms here (other places I tried didn't). The balance of basil, chili, and veggies made every bite satisfying. Definitely one of the better Thai spots in NJ I've tried recently. I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

I am still disappointed by the lack of response from the corporate office on this matter, but the Edison location was extremely helpful in resolving my issue. Initial review: My wife and I have been going to True Food Kitchen for a while now, and really enjoy their healthy food options, but their recent lack of customer service is very disappointing. We recently purchased a gift card for True Food Kitchen but when we had problems with it, the local restaurant wasn't able to do anything. We reached out to the company they parner with for the gift cards, who told us to reach out to corporate. I left two voicemails with True Food corporate with no response, in addition to leaving email with no response either. I would appreciate it even if they couldn't do anything that they would at least get back to us and let us know that, but nothing. I commend True Food for offering such healthy eating options for people but without good customer service, I can't see it really lasting for long.

    This is not my first time here, but my husband really didn't like it last time we went. He decided…read moreto give it another chance. NOTE: Be very careful about using any dining credits from Open Table here. I saved up points for like a year and got a measly $16. When deciding on which restaurant to choose for Brunch today, we noticed True Food was in the Open Table network, so I would be able to use the credit there. When we arrived the place was pretty empty. Strange for the time of day. Bad sign #1. They walked us to a large table. The table was soaking wet and the hostess laid our paper menus on the puddle of water, never acknowledging the fact that the table was wet. Bad sign #2. I used my napkin to dry off the table and asked the waiter for another. He was very cordial. It was noon on a Saturday, so we assumed they would provide us with the Brunch menu (since that is why we came) and we had to ask for it - a measly 4 items on this menu, so options were few. Bad sign #3. Our server and the taste of the food were the only positive things about this trip. At the end of the meal, I followed the Open table directions and clicked on redeem in front of the waiter. It seems a Mastercard number pops up and since the server nor the manager knew how to do the dining credit, she said it was declined and could give me a 10% discount. Our meal was only $30, maki g that like $3 I said that I had to use the dining credit here since I booked our reservation which is tied to the credit and I would lose the dining credit. The manager was very demeaning and I reminded her that I can't use this credit anywhere else and that the whole reason for choosing this restaurant today was because of the Open Table credit. She then asked me to stop yelling at her. I, at no time in this conversation, raised my voice. I just stated the fact that I will lose $16 if they don't use it here. She said I could use it elsewhere and I reiterated that was not true and asked if she could contact open table to see why it won't go through. She said no because they are a third party and it is not their responsibility. After a while back and forth on this, she then said, I told you I would take $16 off the bill so you can use that elsewhere. When I reminded her that she said only 10% before she again said to stop yelling at me and I am just trying to make you happy. My husband said, does she look happy? After that she basically kicked us out of the restaurant. I will never return to this location ever again after being treated this way, like I was some criminal trying to get over them over a lousy $16. Now I can see why, on Sunday during Brunch time, the place was practically empty. Go to Original Pancake House just up the street if you want great food and service. There will be a wait but it is worth it!

Lots of wood in the room so it was a bit loud, but not impossible to have a conversation. We ordered the ribeye for two and some sides. The steak was a little fatty, but the meat was cooked perfectly. The star of the dish is the Haitian "chimichurri" served on the side. Potatoes and veggies were tasty as well. Although they could use some help with people skills, once the food is finally served (45 minute wait for us), it makes up for it. This could easily be 5 stars if the staff were friendlier and more attentive. Will try again on a slower night.

Unfortunately, the team was way too behind to meet customer orders, and as a result there was more chaos than is needed at a salad place. It seemed like the team fell rapidly behind between online and in person orders with most customers waiting 30mins+ during lunch. Given that this was a work day, there seemed to be a lot of frustration around the whole place -especially with people needing to rush back to work. My real disappointment though was the food. I ordered the fit and fueled, and the restaurant forgot the romaine. The entire dish was also scarce on all ingredients except for the shredded carrots and quinoa. There were a few tomatoes, feta, cucumbers, and bits of chicken scattered about, making the dish overall just carrots and quinoa. While I initially chose to dine in, I soon had to switch to takeout given the time it took to get my meal. However, between the yelling of customers and team and overall chaos of the place, dining in did not seem as relaxing as I first thought it would be. I did hear this place is still only a couple months old, so if I were more local Id wait a bit for operations to smoothen out before giving it another shot, but wouldn't discount it entirely based on my one experience.
