Usually it doesn't travel well, and 2, kitchens don't put as much effort into to go meals because it's not as profitable. Well, worry not about that at Thai Shack. My pad woon sen was every bit as good as it would tasted dining indoors. My Thai tea was perfectly sweet and bitter, the way it should be. And my spring rolls still retained the crisp after being packed, even though it's been waiting to be picked up for 15 minutes. I'm very satisfied and will have to make another trip here when in town!

We were at a bball game down the street and wanted a snackysnack. As a Thai food snob (my father…read morelived in Thailand/nyc baby ) we were just hungry and my expectations were what I thought realistic for Teaneck Thai. Yet, I was humbled... We ordered a super simple meal and every dish had something that made it delicious and delightfully unique. Cute, clean and quaint but we got it to go. We were greeted by a lovely Woman and while it was hoppin with phone and Togo orders, she took the time to connect and thank us. clearly there is attention to detail and love in preparing this food! The crisp of the lightly salted pork belly and chive dumpling showed this is nacho average wannabe Thai grub. The peanut sauce, and tangy lime sauce with the pork... The perfectly adherent but not gummy sticky rice...we will be back! Thanks Yelpers for this win.....And we won the game too! Go Panthers

We haven't been here for only God knows how long - in fact, my Yelp review of the Green Papaya in…read moreRiver Edge was 12 years ago (!!!) - but I remembered having fond memories of the place. So my husband (who btw was my boyfriend in my 2013 Yelp review) treated me to dinner at the Green Papaya tonight after work. We started with homemade crispy tofu and veggie spring rolls. Then for entrees, we ended up getting Malaysian Curry dishes. I wanted a soup - so I went with the noodle soup dinner. The coconut curry broth was delicious! My husband went with the curry entre (over rice with a small salad on the side). He said it was very good. The host was great; she was so friendly and welcoming. The food, hospitality, and overall vibe are what bring in the regular customers. We were surrounded by regular customers, as we kept hearing people at other tables rave about the place or say "good to see you" to staff there. It feels very cheery there. Nothing from my original Yelp review has really changed - except now I'm giving it a 5 stars! The Green Papaya is one wonderful Thai-fusion eatery!

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Food was super fresh and delicious! ++++ Roti - Was OK. A bit on the small side, but it was only $5, so you figure that would be the case that it was a small serving. The curry was a bit watery though. ++++ Tropical Mango with White Rice - Solid. Lots of mango slices and 6 pieces of large shrimp. Also, lots of tropical, sweet sauce, which made it delicious. ++++ Pad See Ew with Beef - Fantastic! Came out piping hot and fresh with plenty of beef and veggies. Portion was pretty big too. Personally, one of the best Pad See Ew entrees I've had in NJ still. ++++ Chinese Broccoli with Chicken and White Rice - Excellllllent. The chicken and Chinese broccoli had LOTS of sauce and there were carrots and mushrooms mixed in. The chicken was surprisingly pretty tender for chicken breast. + Employees were very friendly and prompt, always filling our hot teas. + Food came out blazzzingly fast, within minutes of us ordering. + Not a huge restaurant, but still plenty of tables and seats. + Private parking lot to the side. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came on a Saturday evening from 5:45-7 and it was quiet at first, but a steady stream of customers came in - mostly families - however, there were still open tables. CONCLUSION -------------------- - Unsurprisingly, the food during our dine-in experience was even better than when we did takeout! Definitely a solid Thai food option in the area!

My friend loves this place and maybe it was an odd night but...would not repeat…read more Spring rolls, so oil logged you could physically squeeze them and oil would pool on the bottom of the container. Crepe? An amalgamation of textures that likely shouldn't exist? Soggy mushy texturally just unappetizing and wet, the bottom of the container had a solid coat of water on it so everything inside was just mushy. Green curry, curry flavor good but that's where it ended for me. The tofu was totally mushy. Lychee juice, I love lychee but this tasted artificial and very watered down. We did door dash so I can't speak on service or ambiance but my friend will have to enjoy this on their own

But when it comes to Thai food, there's just two, and Khao Thai is one of them. Inside, the space is fairly large but it's kept relatively quiet and intimate with lots of two-tops. Our crispy calamari appetizer was a bit of a letdown. While hot and crispy, they seemed to have been breaded and fried as clumps. Even the accompanying sweet chili sauce couldn't mask that tough, rubbery texture. Entrees fared just a little better. My pad see ew was a little bland but perked up with some chili sauce dribbled over the plate by the spoonful. I chose beef as my protein and while there weren't a ton of beef pieces, the few I had were wonderfully tender. Service was friendly and lovely. Our server (who I also assume is the owner) welcomed us warmly and was quick to check on us. I was endeared by the owner's young daughter who came by to help and made sure all our water glasses stayed filled. I know we're riding the giant inflation wave, but the serving size felt a little paltry for the prices. Even after an appetizer and two entrees, we both had enough stomach space after dinner to fill up with nuggets at a nearby fast food restaurant.

The waitress wasn't rude but she didn't come back after bringing the food. Another person, maybe the manager or owner (and adult whereas the waitress was a teen or very early 20s) came out and never even spoke to or looked toward our table. I guess if I was desperate for Thai and nothing else was available I might try again but I'm not. I don't plan to return. The pad Thai is very one note which is the opposite of what makes Thai food amazing to begin with.

There was a friendly server and the owner/chef also came out. He let us know he's been there for 6 years. I would have tried them sooner, but I'm no longer in my Thai food phase. There was a time when I used to have Thai food about once a week. I was quite impressed with the freshness of the food and what you get for $15. I thought the portions were right there, but if you need more food, an appetizer might be a good addition. We were there around 12:30 and were the only ones there, but people started slowly coming in and by 1:15 most of the tables got filled. One weird thing was that they use disposable cups for water. Perhaps it's a more of a to-go place or not enough man power to wash cups? My friend and I shared the chicken pad khee mao and chicken with spicy basil sauce. Each dish comes with a spring roll, but somehow no dipping sauce! However, if you ask, they have them in little to-go cups. My friend can't handle too much spice so we went with regular spicy, which to me wasn't spicy at all. The vegetables were crunchy and I liked that the noodle still had a good chew and not gummy. Basil sauce was right on the edge of being salty but with rice, it was okay. The food was flavorful, not greasy, and I'm sure would have tasted way better with more heat. The lunch options are pretty basic, but the full menu has a lot more interesting dishes, and based on the taste of the lunch dishes, I plan on trying different dishes in the near future if I'm in the mood for Thai.

We will definitely order from here again!
