Amazing local business in Washington Township New Jersey (near the Kohls). I go here whenever I'm craving pad Thai, usually I do takeout but they have dine in too. The lunch special is $10!!! You can't beat that price. Flavor is good too. I love their pad thai and curries, I would probably skip the pad se lew and steamed suimai that I tried here as well. Would recommend for quick and yummy Thai food! Especially for their lunch deals. read more

Thai Chili 88 - lunch special pad thai - Thai Near Me - Turnersville, New Jersey

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with my dad. It was not busy. We started with the chicken coconut soup. The portion was perfect and it was delicious. It was hard to stop eating it but I wanted to save room. In the end, this was my favorite dish! Temperature wise, the soup was served piping hot. I loved the onions and mushrooms in it. Then we got the dumplings. Delicious!! They were meaty with a special sauce. They came 6 to an order. Would get this too again! Next were the edamame. They were a bit overcooked in terms of how I prefer them. Perfectly salted. Good size portion. For our main we each got the Thai Sesame Triple and I ordered the pad Thai noodles to take home to my sister/nieces. We were clearly going for leftovers so we over ordered on purpose. The Thai Sesame Triple was delicious, and once again, a very good portion. We got the dinner portion at lunch. The chicken was perfectly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Same for most of the shrimp. The scallops were not as crunchy- my dad said last time they were. Huge portion of rice with it as well as some broccoli and carrot garnish. I got brown rice. I tasted the Pad Thai and it was also good- mild. read more

Five star first delivery experience from here. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and arrived quickly. Drunken noodles was a portion big enough for two great meals. Get dumplings and crab Rangoons- both were much better than your typical. read more

We ordered the crab rangoons, dumplings, Thai sesame chicken, and General Tso's chicken. The crab ragoons were the best dish by far. The dumplings were fine, not great, not terrible. The chicken was mostly inedible though. Just tough pieces and way to much undercooked breading. The sauces were okay, too bad we couldn't chew any of it. We got takeout so I can't comment on service besides it was handed to us after asking our name. About a 40 minute wait for food. read more

Went to Thai Chili 88 and was NOT disappointed. Started the meal with shumai. You can get it steamed or crispy. We got it steamed and it was delightful. Apparently they make it here onsite and you can tell it's fresh and yummy. We got the pan fried potstickers as well. Crispy and also not run of the mill. It tasted fresh and the sauce was garlicky and good. General Tso was crispy and the sauce was fresh! One of the best I've tried in this part of South Jersey. Sesame Chicken was crispy and fresh and the sauce was bomb. Sticky and sweet and yummy. The fried rice was shaped beautifully and tasted freshly made. I also got a Thai iced tea. Sweet like all of the others I've tried and very flavorful. Service was excellent and attentive and came back multiple times to check up. Super nice. Inside is super nice and clean! Ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Nicely decorated. Definitely will go back and is one of the better Thai/Asian places in SoJo! read more

OMG! What a marvelous dining experience! It's like having a personal chef. The food is fresh and clean. You taste all of the ingredients. I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and have yet to have a bad experience. It is quiet and the ambiance is absolutely amazing. read more

I've only been once for lunch so far but will definitely come back. My drunken noodle lunch special came with a spring roll and was $10. Medium spiciness led me to believe I can definitely handle their spicy level, so if you like actual spicy, spicy I'd emphasize extra spicy. I also got the coffee with condensed milk. Yuuuum. The space was very clean, pretty spacious, and had traditional style decor. And yes the server had a bit of an attitude but baybeeee that's practically a sure sign the food will be good. read more

Can't say enough the food is always good and price is fair. Always go here when unsure about lunch or diner.

I've eaten here several times and the noodles sometimes are over cooked. The shrimp rolls are nothing but a tiny tasteless wrap and don't ever order the seafood soup. Imitation crab, 2 scallops in a quart, a few shrimp, the sauce was like plain gelatin very think full of carrots & green peas; unappetizing! read more

Had several things from them, the Chef specials menu selections. One of my favorites is the chicken with eggplants. I love, eggplant and that's one of the best preparation of eggplant, I found around. Delicious read more

Got wonton soup, which was bland, as was the chicken sate. I've never had watery peanut sauce, which also didn't have much flavor either. The spring rolls were ok. Was hoping for a good local Thai place but I'll have to keep looking. read more

Was around the corner in the shopping plaza nearby and decided to stop in for some crab Rangoon. They were some of the best I've ever had! The taste was good but the real star is the shape. Unlike the usual wonton shape, these crab rangoon were triangles and therefore, filled even more. The service was pleasant and efficient. Thai chili 88, very underrated place! Will definitely come back and dine in. read more

Thai Chili 88 - Thai Near Me - Turnersville, New Jersey

I like the restaurant--a lot. The food is fresh and the restaurant is comfortable, maybe a slight bit chilly this January, and dimly lit. I stopped here before a trip to Thailand in October 2018, so I could compare their dishes to the "authentic" Thai food. This review is for 01/01/2019 on my next visit. Firstly, the restaurant is Asian, Thai, and Thai Fusion. I've remarked in the past that "fusion" is really an anything-goes kind of thing. Secondly, very few items on the menu were actually on the menus in Bangkok or the many areas we stayed in Phuket, Thailand. A particular item I was looking for here was not on the restaurant menu--(pineapple fried rice) that was on nearly every menu in Thailand. But we live in America and what's up with the authenticity mandate? Is it not more important to actually be GOOD food? This restaurant hits the mark for the "good food" mandate. My partner ordered Chicken Pad Thai--the same thing he ordered throughout Thailand. The noodles were done to perfection and the flavors were delicately delicious--that perfect blend of many spices that formulate an indescribably delightful taste. The chicken was as served in America in Chinese food, which was a difference from the small chicken pieces in the dishes in Thailand. I had Pineapple Curry Tofu. The curry was lightly sweet and had a light hint of pineapple flavor--fresh pineapple. Pineapple chunks were sweet and perfect tenderness. The tofu was initially crispy, but of course less so after on the table a few minutes. This is just how tofu in curry is. But the taste was unadulterated even the next day in leftovers. I ordered mine with fried rice--and it was the best friend rice I've ever had. Not a hint of oil or greasiness to it. My curry was lightly spicy, a vast difference from some of my Thailand meals, which were fire-engine hot if I forgot to tell them "mai pet." Now the authenticity part: I do not see a comparison to the Thai dishes I had while traveling there for three weeks. I also do not see a problem with this. Taste is what matters to me most. Dishes can "parallel" something and be tweaked for a better experience depending on the market. Perhaps this is what Thai Chili 88 does--and they do it well, which makes them a good business. read more

Went for an early lunch yesterday with a friend and both of us had the Royal Chicken. Amazing flavor, tender chicken and veggies in a yummy sauce served with rice and one of their delectable crispy spring rolls. It was an incredibly tasty meal for less than $9 each! The dining area was surprisingly spacious and comfortable so I was surprised it was nearly empty so close to noon but I'm sure they do a brisk takeout with locals. I'd definitely put this in the Hidden Gem category. Will definitely return! read more

This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the area without a doubt. Prices of lunch special and regular menu are fantastic. Sesame chicken is crispy and sauce has good flavor and spice. Fried rice tastes fresh, not that hard very old rice texture. Pad Thai is excellent, large shrimp and nice vegetables like thin bell pepper. Portions are great for price, cannot beat this. It is difficult to find a GREAT Asian restaurant in this area, this is definitely a must try. read more

Really good crab Rangoon but they didn't give the red sweet sauce that usually comes with it. I like the triangle shaped crab Rangoon. The inside is cute I hope more people think about dining in bc the atmosphere is nice read more

The restaurant is located in a strip mall, that was pretty empty when I came. I came here for dinner, around 3pm, so they had literally stop serving lunch, however, they still give a 10% discount on the dinner bill! (15% off of lunch bill when you check in on yelp!) I love restaurants that give first time patrons a little thank you! We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, and the waiter was attentive but not very warm. She was kind of short with my grandmother :/ (who has never had Thai food before and took a long time to decided and ended up ordering chicken fried rice lol). That female waiter is the only reason I gave this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5. The food came quickly. The displace was very nicely done! I was very impressed! I've never had my rice shaped in a pyramid; this was a nice personal touch! My sister had white rice, and her rice was heart shaped. The food was hot and tasted fresh. I had the Yushan chicken, which had two red peppers next to the name, indicating that it was spicy, but I didn't find it that spicy. But boy was it good!!! I ate ever grain of rice, every vegetable, and every piece of meat on that plate! I would highly recommend it! Don't be deterred by the two red peppers on the menu next to the name, it's not that spicy! A male waiter gave us our check, and he was much more personable than the female waiter! He smiled when he spoke to us and he was very attentive. I liked him a lot. Overall, this place is tucked away in a strip mall, but the food is really good! If you don't see anyone else there when you arrive, don't take it as a sign that you should leave because you should definitely stay and ENJOY! read more

The Worst Thai suit I have ever had, it's like takeout Chinese food come it's not real Thai soup, it was horrible, I couldn't even eat it just terrible read more

Don't let the inauspicious strip mall storefront fool you, Thai Chili is a stand out. We first tried them a couple of years ago when I took a flyer on a $15 for $30 deal from coupon clipper. We're big fans of Thai food and figured it was worth a shot. All I can say is it was worth every penny and we've gone back several times since then and gladly pay full price. Their menu is quite large and offers good variety. The Tom Kha Gai (coconut soup) is very good as are their appetizers. You could literally just make a meal with their apps. As far as entrees go, we always order one of their curries and my daughter likes their Thai Sesame Chicken. Oh, and make sure you leave some room for dessert even if you just split one. So good! read more

I should of known better and listen to all the yelp reviews about this place . But instead I just want to see for myself because everybody have different tastes and opinion with food . Since I been craving pad thai (my main dish for Thai cuisine) for awhile and this place is only two minutes from my job so why not give it a try . For lunch, I called and made an ordered for pick up. I'd ordered the shrimp pad thai with a Thai iced tea . I was assuming since it was lunch time I thought it would of came with a salad or soup because most places would offer you that options. Not this place because I had asked, and the person that was answering the phone kind of gave me an attitude about it . So it's whatever. They told me it should be ready in 20 minutes . When I've arrived , the place was dead . There was nobody dining in . You would expect to see people having lunch . So I figured it was a bad sign . I'd picked up my order and was so anxious to try it out and oh my , onced i'd opened up the plastic container and see that my noodles were pale I already know it wasn't going to be good . I took a bite and it was bland . It wasn't good at all . I wasted my money and my thai iced tea tasted water down . Everything tasted so bland, so never again . I had better thai food elsewhere. read more

Delicious, freshly prepared food from start to finish. We shared the crispy shrimp appetizer, Pad Thai, and Peanut Chicken Eggplant Curry. The helpings were generous, enough to share and take home leftovers. We always try Pad Thai on the first visit so we can gauge a Thai restaurant. This one didn't disappoint us. There was a lot of protein: egg, chicken and shrimp. Well season d and lime on the aide. The curry dish was a little spicy (as advertised) and had tender white meat chicken, with Chinese eggplant, green peppers, onion, tomatoes, and pineapple in a creamy smooth curry sauce. Again, enough to share plus leftovers. I recommend Thai Chili 88 and we will be regulars here! read more

My favorite new spot. While not exactly a purebred Thai restaurant, it features enough mainstream Thai dishes as well as a few popular chinese dishes to please a broad array of palettes. After 6 meals here, I can confidently say I was consistently impressed with the quality and execution of everything, especially at lunch time, where most entrees are $4.75 (eat in only, seafood extra). The restaurant itself is very clean and has a nice dining area, though some may find it a little dark. We always start with the postickers - not sure if its the potstickers themselves or the dipping sauce, but thinking about them makes my pants tight. Wife also likes them too, which is a huge relief, because she's a picky eater. I've also had the wonton soup, which isnt exactly Thai, but was still very good. Wontons were kind of small, very flavorful broth though. For entrees, its hard to pick a favorite - I've had the drunken noodles with chicken, jalepeno beef, sriracha beef, lemongrass chicken, and most recently, the Pad Thai. Now, everyone knows you can get Pad Thai pretty much anywhere. Here, it comes with chicken AND shrimp - large pieces that you can actually identify. It's Pad Thai elevated to a higher level. In fact, every dish I've had here was excellent, and came to the table plated as though we were eating in a much more expensive restaurant (see photos I uploaded). If you really appreciate details, then youll love the fact that your soda (or ice tea) comes in a glass, NOT a can, and the refills are free - you'd be amazed how many places still charge/serve you by the can. If theres one gripe I have, its that portions could be bigger. Its not that they're too small, its just that other places give you more. Take that with a grain of salt though, as I typically get 2 entrees when I eat here. read more

I really wanted to like this place but no. Food is tasteless. Ordered the spring rolls, which comes with a peanut sauce... the sauce was so watery and had no favor. Satay chicken was dry and also came with a watery peanut sauce. The entrees were less exciting. Would I go back, no. Have no complaints with the service. read more

Cute little place. Small and clean. The food was not good I order Shrimp Pad Thai which had a sweet flavored, not many spices nor shrimp. The noodles were either overcooked or spoiled because they had like a slimy texture to them. Tea was super super sweet I couldn't drink it. I thought I was going to get sick, but I didn't so I think it was just over cooked and seasoned badly. The service was really fast and friendly. read more

This place has been here for awhile. There's a reason for that, it's good. It's far better than most local Asian places. If you expect it to be on par with high end Asian cuisine places in Philadelphia, don't. It's perfect for what it provides. I've eaten here for a long time and I usually go with the mango chicken. Never had anything bad. Their presentation is amazing if you eat in. Like most Chinese places the inside is often dead because most people get take out. read more

First impressions are everything, and mine was great. I enjoy asian food - I frequent a variety of establishments in the area. Their food is delicious, slightly different than what is commonly offered by similar restaurants in Gloucester County, the dining room has an atmosphere which is appropriate for a date, and I think the taste of the food is well balanced and intricate - a medley for the palate. What sets this restaurant apart from the others? I think there's a level of art behind their kitchen's abilities. It's a little more complex than the common formula of blanching/frying/steaming ingredients then packing with rice and a burnt sauce. read more

Been back several more times since my past review and Thai Chili 88 is still great! Some additional dishes which I especially liked, - If you're a Vegetarian, I highly suggest the Tofu w. Peanut Sauce entree (served with broccoli). It's not fried to the point it's dripping with oil but it's also not left alone to the point it's just... tofu. The light breading they do to the Tofu makes it slightly crispy (but only slight) and it's great with the peanut sauce. - The Thai Ginger Chicken is a good option too. I think the difference between Thai Chili 88 and most other Asian-Cuisine Restaurants is most evident here. Where most take-out joints just drench everything in sauce and call it a day, the cooks at Thai Chili 88 use spices and sauce (and in this case, ginger) to create something a bit more complex than what you'd expect. Like what I said in my previous review, you got to consider the price. Considering lunch is around $5-$7 (with spring roll and fried rice) and dinner being $10ish, you shouldn't expect your world to change. It might not be as traditional as other Thai places in Philadelphia but considering the region Thai Chili 88 is at, the prices they charge, and the quality of the food -- I think they still deserve a 5 star for sure. read more

My husband and I dine here about once a month. The food is delicious! We are picky eaters. We really like the Garlic Butter Shrimp dish and also the Mongolian Beef.

Got the Pad Thai because that's how I judge Thai places! It was not bad. My best friend got the Tofu with peanut sauce and that was good. Yes, the rice is in a heart formation! Overall, I would recommend. I felt a little rushed because I'm a slow eater, but other than that service was good. Water was brought often. We even had chocolate mousse for dessert and it was really good! Fun place to try, cheap, no complaints. read more
