    65. Vegetables Kee Mao Drunken Noodle
    Daniel T.

    TLDR: standard Thai food - one of the few in the area Ordered the drunken noodles without mushrooms at a mild level of spice. The dish came piping hot in a generous portion, and had a good balance between noodles and vegetables / protein. Every ingredient was well seasoned but slightly oily though that's to be expected in a stir fried dish. Overall the dish was pretty good but nothing too special. I would order it again. About the restaurant: the place is nicely decorated. I went on a Saturday around standard lunch time, but the place was relatively empty, which was surprising for the level of food. A great spot if you enjoy a quiet meal

    58. Pad Thai
    Elisa R.

    Ricky's Thai has great prices for tasty, large portions. Nice ambiance and accommodating, polite service. The starter salad was free and was a little pile of iceberg lettuce with peanut sauce. It's pretty skimpy but it's free so can't really complain, and the peanut sauce is some of the best I've ever had. I shared the pad thai with my sister. I've tried a lot of pad thai and this one is pretty solid, tasting fresh with good flavor and not oily/soggy like some restaurants serve it. I'm removing a star because there was a $3 charge for an extra plate for the pad thai-- the food wasn't split up or anything, it just came as usual on one plate but there was an extra charge to share it? I would understand if they divided up the portion with additional toppings, but they basically just charged us to use an extra plate which I think is pretty lame and cash grabby.

    Quick quaint place to stop by for some Thai food in Skillman. We stopped in on a Friday night and were promptly seated without a reservation. I had the chicken pad thai which was average. I thought it could have used a bit more sauce/flavor and the 3 star spicy was not spicy. My friend had the Thai Basil noodles and thought it was just ok as well.

    Ricky's does it right! His Skillman, NJ, Thai restaurant is the second of two kitchens in his growing stable of excellent Southeast Asian houses. It is a beautiful dining room with hushed dark wood tones, Buddhas looking serenely down from the walls and box framed lighting hanging from the high ceiling. White linen and heavy silverplate flatware on the tables finishes the impression that something special can happen here. I was there for lunch on Saturday afternoon, but was advised upon arrival that the lunch menu was not being offered on weekends anymore. Too bad, but not a cause for major disappointment. Just adjust my ordering to keep the overall bill where I wanted it to be. I have been on a spicy noodle rage lately, and the Pad Kee Mao was calling my name. Skipped the soup and appetizer I would have requested otherwise, and simply added Jasmine Tea as an accompaniment. Spice level: a midrange 3 was good enough for me this day. My plate arrived a few minutes after on a white square ceramic. It looked fantastic, with shiny broad noodles, thin sliced chicken, a handful of medium shrimp, plenty of green pepper, diaphenous sweet onion and fresh mushroom. The hot chili paste was visible throughout, and soon proved to be all the heat required. It was delicious, with nicely chewy pasta and plenty of texture and zest from the peppers, chicken and shrimp with the shrooms absorbing the sauce. The capsesin quotient was on target. This dish was certainly in the running for best of breed among the dozen or so Drunken Noodle candidates sampled in the last several months. Lucky for me there is another Ricky's Thai nearby in Hillsborough that deserves a stop on the hot & spicy broad noodle tour.

    New to Princeton & this is one of the best Thai food places I've been to. You get a good amount of food for the price and everything was so delicious. I would highly recommend coming here!

    Let me get one thing straight. Shan Shan Noodles doesn't care about this review. They don't care if…read moreyou come. Why? Because they are busy AF. They are buzzing. We went for the first time Sunday at like 3pm? Full. Take out orders flying out the door. It's a cute place. Standard strip mall aesthetic. But they do have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. That's right, hand pulling the noodles which is the main attraction. The food is from the North Western part of China near Pakistan so there are some Indian influences like their Cumin lamb and pulled noodles one of their most popular dishes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. With my vegetarian wife who as usual ruins everything by insisting we order vegetarian appetizers. Scallion pancakes were delicious. No pictures because we ate them immediately. Pan fried dumpling. 9 of them. That's a big portion. And it was like 9-10 bucks? They make their own dumpling wrappers, their own dipping sauces. Dumplings were very good. You could really taste the vegetables. Focused on the quality of the ingredients. My wife had the hand pulled noodles in hot oil. Marked spicy it was American spicy. Did not blow your head off. O enjoyed them. They give you a pair of scissors. Because it's one long noodle. Do not use them on your birthday. More on that later. I had the aforementioned cumin lamb and pulled noodles. I liked it but it was overwhelmingly cumin flavored which obviously is the point of cumin lamb. I'm not saying over seasoned I'm just saying it announced itself as this is cumin lamb. Period. We also had bubble tea! How fun is that? My wife had taro which they made with non dairy milk for her. I had pomegranate with exploding bubbles. Never had those before. Also super fun. They did not explode in an American way or even a Chinese way as both countries let's face it are pretty well known for making things explode. No in a pleasant way. Waitress was delightful we had obviously a long conversation about the food and the restaurant. The scissors are for Americans who share their food. In China you would eat the noodles slurp them without cutting them because eating long noodles especially on your birthday is supposed to promote a long life. We did not learn this until after cutting my wife's noodles. It was her birthday. I will miss her but also look forward to meat based appetizers. One door closes and all that. They also own the bakery a few doors down. Very light chiffon style cakes. Not too sweet. Chocolate Oreo cake. I asked if that was very traditional. Oh how we laughed at my hilarious joke.

    Phenomenal food, very authentic and reasonably priced - we stopped for a quick bite after a long…read moredrive and we got our food within 5 min. Also our hostess was so energetic and welcoming - trust I will be back!

The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!
