A true hidden gem! The Thai food here is absolutely EXCELLENT, with authentic flavors and perfect seasoning. But what really sets this restaurant apart is the warm and caring customer service. The owners and staff are extremely attentive, kind, and polite--the rare kind of people who make your day better just by the way they treat you. I started ordering by myself for lunch at work and was so impressed that I ended up recommending it to my coworkers. Today, our entire office orders from them and we are all huge fans! I highly recommend this place, not just for the impeccable quality of the food, but for the wonderful energy of the people who work there. Keep up the amazing work! read more

I had just come home from vacation and I was really sick coughing runny nose all of that stuff I had a cold. I was trying to decide what to have for dinner so I decided to pick this place because I saw that they had this option called a Tom Khai chicken soup, and I thought it would help with my cold so I got it and I didn't know if this was gonna work or not well..... IT DID. The next morning when I woke up I felt so much better my cough and my runny nose, almost everything was gone. This chicken soup helped me out so much. and not only did this soup help me out with my sickness, but it also tasted really good. The flavor the ingredients the spices everything about it tasted amazing. I couldn't believe it so the next time you go to Thai food addict and you're sick, get the Tom Khai chicken soup. Trust me you'll thank me later!!! read more

Fourth time trying this place. Food now is nothing more than average. First two times were pretty good, but on the more recent visits it seems like they're going downhill. Beef was very tough and dry and it looks and tastes like they use frozen precooked shrimp in their dishes where the shrimps have no flavor whatsoever. Shrimps should be cooked raw, period. read more

Just wanted to note that Thai Food Addict does catering as well. I used them on 2 different occasions and they are very reliable. FYI they don't do delivery for anything off the catering menu. David, the owner, is very easy to work with and will promptly reply to all your messages and requests. Amazing food always prepared on time. You pay a deposit up front online and pay the rest on pick up. Would highly recommend them for anyone looking for unique catering options- they are reasonably priced. read more

Hands down, one of the best restaurants in this area. We always do take out/delivery, but boy do they deliver. The Pad Thai and Massaman Curry are our favorites, but fair warning - their spice levels are SPICY. As an Asian, I'd like to think I can handle heat but boy, the I guess I forgot how spicy their food was last time and the 3/5 spice level humbled me! Lol. It was delicious for us, but I'd size down on the spice level next time. Something that you can certainly not miss here is the curry puffs. Best. I've. Ever. Had. I would come here just for that. The sauce it comes with also has a kick! read more

The best Thai food we've had a very long time! We ordered the papaya salad, beef drunken noodles, green curry with pork and the Tom Yum Noodle soup. The drunken noodles were excellent with a rich, smokey flavor. The Tom Yum Noodle soup stole the show! It was so delicious with a depth of flavors that was so vibrant it burst in your mouth that we could not stop eating it. We loved it so much at we got one to go as we live one hour away and I knew I would crave this again. We ordered all our dishes at a level 3. For my Korean palate, it was not spicy. For my French husband it was perfect - had a nice kick but not too spicy you couldn't enjoy the food. My husband ordered the mango sticky rice as a dessert. He said it was perfect - not too sweet, a little salty and creamy. I usually do not like sticky rice due to the coconut milk but I thought it tasted great too. Definitely recommend this Thai restaurant. The owner who waited on us is also so friendly and very welcoming We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area visiting my mom! read more

Excellent food, great people- planning to be a regular! Sampler is a must, as is the pad thai, drunken noodles, spring rolls, stir fried veggies. read more

It has been a while since we ate here and the food just keeps on getting better. The appetizers ( fish cake, fried shrimp and fried tofu) are excellent. We ordered the green curry with chicken and the pineapple fried rice which were all fresh and flavorful. Then the dessert (ripe mango and sticky rice) completed the whole experience. Highly recommended authentic Thai flavors! We will be back for sure. read more

Try the garlic chicken, my Daughter and I dream of this dish! LOL. We also love the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Their boba is the best! The boba is always just right....not too mushy, not too hard. Love this place! read more

Food was very good. Service was also good, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. The level of spice we requested was met without issue and the food was very tasty, a little on the pricey side but today you get what you pay for and we were very happy with our lunch. read more

Yum! I've ordered take out here numerous times and always enjoy my meal. They are pretty quick, it took twenty minutes for our food to be ready on a Sunday night. The shrimp rolls were still crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Both noodle dishes were delicious but I did notice it was not as spicy as usual. I got the max level of spice and it did not kick my butt like usual. Maybe my tolerance went up but that's unlikely when it comes to Thai spice! Walking in to get my food, I did notice they upgraded the dining area a bit with a wind protector box by the front and different looking seating. Overall, I'll be back again for sure and I won't be forgetting to ask for extra chili flakes to go! read more

Have driven past this place a few different times and decided to try it out with all the good ratings on a random weeknight. First and foremost the staff are super friendly and the restaurant has a pretty cute and simple seating arrangement! We always get pad see ew as our go to and this was some of the best we've had in a long time! The beef was very tender and noodles were so light and fluffy! Often times other restaurants make them heavy and with too much flavor. This was just right! We also tried the crying tiger which was like a homestyle steak with a really tasty and sweet dipping sauce. We definitely wanna try Thai Food Addict again and see some of the other things on the menu. This place is definitely a hidden gem that offers a really homestyle twist on thai food. Pro tip: Get a thai iced tea! This delicious drink is so sweet that if you had little water to it as you drink it, its like a free refill read more

This Thai restaurant is hidden in a small strip mall in Helmetta. Although there are tables for eating in and the dining area is quite spacious, this place looks more like a takeout joint. It also looks like they operate a food truck as there was one parked outside. Hubby ordered the Tom yum soup and the lunch special basil fried rice which comes with 2 spring rolls and a small salad. I ordered the pad Thai lunch special which comes with 2 spring rolls and the small salad. The Tom yum soup looked and tasted different from others we've tried. It looked kind of bland, mostly broth with 2 (very large) shrimp. The soup base wasn't good and the shrimp wasn't fresh. The pad Thai didn't have that tamarind sour flavor. It was on the sweet side and the color is reddish. It tasted ok - just not what I was expecting for pad Thai. The noodles were buttery soft and the portion was large. We asked for medium spicy but when the waitress warned us of their spice levels, we changed it to a lower spice level. However, neither of us tasted any spiciness at all with our meal. I also ordered the hot tea. It was really good. There was a generous amount of tea leaves. The tea was very fragrant. read more

We ordered delivery, which is free over $40 and came quickly! However, we were not really impressed by the food. Among other items, we ordered a larb that was supposed to come with a toasted rice (but it was just steamed) and vegetable tofu pad thai (that did not come with the extra vegetables despite the $3 surcharge). The regular tofu pad thai was very tomato-y rather than peanut-y. The only item we would recommend is the panang curry. read more

Now open for awhile and serving their customers quite possibly the best Thai street food in New Jersey, Thai Food Addict is beginning to make a name for themselves. What sets this little strip mall Thai joint apart is that they are not watering down their seasonings to cater to that diner who has become accoustomed to the usual warmed up and over sweetened Chinese take out that passes for Thai in NJ. Want it a little less spicy?.... Just ask but when you eat Thai heat is part and parcel of the cuisine but the young ladies are accommodating and gracious however you're basically short changing yourself. Try the Dry Chili Curry pork ribs with the Tamarind stir fry veggies.... It'll change your whole outlook on what Thai cooking is all about. Enjoy. read more

Food is delicious and the staff are very nice and friendly. I usually get the pineapple fried rice when I go here and it's very fresh along with their other menu items. The wonton soup is very good and you can tell they make it fresh. The Thai bubble tea is absolutely delicious as well. The prices are great for the amount of food that you get and they always ask if you want your food spicy and how much spice you want. Definitely recommend read more

We decided to try this restaurant instead of our regular rotation. Interior is neatly decorated and with plenty of natural light. Service to start was amazing for a pick up order. Everything well packed and secured. I did have a mishap with a beverage but they went above and beyond to help and assured me they would take care of it. The food: BBQ Pork with Sticky Rice - well cooked. Not melt in your mouth, but juicy and tender with a nice plump bite and great grill flavor without fatty cuts all over. The sauce adds a hint of tamarind sweetness that isn't overwhelming. Sticky rice was standard and well cooked. Taro puffs at the time of order seemed on the expensive side. After eating, the price seems fair for the quantity of the taro filling. The pastry exterior had a texture mixed between flaky pastry and a pot pie crust and was very satisfying. Taro filling was abundant, warm and flavorful with a pleasant, non mushy texture & not too sweet. The only thing I'm disappointed in is not getting two orders. Chicken wings were a fair size, fried without a crunchy exterior. Slightly seasoned and not too salty or greasy with a nice sauce. Basil Fried Rice with chicken was very fragrant and flavorful. Not too oily and rice was not mushy. Added ingredients all had a nice proportion in each bite and nothing felt like it was a filler. Panang Curry with Chicken was perfectly flavored and seasoned. There was an abundance of chicken mixed in with the vegetables and it all had just the right coconut flavor as a whole. No surprises here; it was exactly the wonderful flavor you expect getting a panang / Thai curry. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao) with chicken was well prepared, but potentially just a hint under flavored. Chicken was plentiful and noodles were cooked just right. Regarding flavor, I prefer another restaurant, but I wouldn't knock it a whole star down from one dish that was good but just not my preference. Thai Tea and Thai Boba Tea - just the right flavor and sweetness. The boba was above average; soft and chewy without being over cooked. tl;dr 4.5 / 5 for food 5 / 5 for service Definitely going in the regular rotation of restaurants. read more

Absolutely love this place. My favorite Thai food in the area. They are efficient, their entrees are delicious and the staff is so amazingly kind and accommodating! I stop in here often for dinner/lunch takeout or just for a quick Thai iced tea (or both...). The thai iced tea itself is very sweet and delicious, sometimes a little bit too sweet for my liking but still flavorful and yummy. I think someone mentioned you could dilute it once halfway through and it's the perfect amount of sweet, which I am going to try next time. You also have the option to add boba to it. They have many different things on the menu and have something for everyone. Additionally, they have five different spice levels and man they are SPICY (and delish)! I wouldn't dare go past Level 3 but for those who like some heat, this is great!! The restaurant is casual and very clean. The staff is always so nice & EXTREMELY accommodating especially when we order Vegetarian dishes, without oyster, fish sauce, or eggs. Some places in the area are not even able to make certain dishes vegetarian. I love Thai Food Addict not only for their flavors, but their amazing service and staff. Of course, their food is very flavorful and I love their drunken noodles with veggies and their cucumber salad. They make it so tasty without all the traditional ingredients. They have a vegan/vegetarian friendly menu that you can trust & staff is very helpful with answering any questions/ addresses concerns. They went the extra mile by labeling everything for me, separating the vegetarian dishes into a different bag, and the sweet woman who works there kindly reassured me about the ingredients. This may seem small to some, but this truly meant a lot to me & I was very appreciative. Every time I go, I am met with extreme kindness and truly the best service. She is always smiling and patient with me every time. It is wonderful to see such a level of customer service and care in our fast-paced society. We will definitely continue coming to Thai Food Addict!! read more

First visit, have been wanting to try for a while. Went on a Thursday to "avoid the crowds". Apparently not necessary - walked in before 7:00PM and restaurant was empty. But the entire time we were there, there was a steady stream of pickups for take-out. Extremely clean and neat. Seated promptly, attended by an pleasant young lady who answered all our questions, and offered suggestions when asked. Accurately addressed our concerns re spice levels. Great service. Shared apps - Thai Pockets and Tom Yum Shrimp soup, both excellent. Mains were Pad Thai w/ pork and Tamarind Stir-Fry w/ shrimp. Food came out quickly. We are not that familiar with Thai food, but enjoyed both. The Mango Sticky Rice (which we are familiar with) was superb! read more

The food is great. They've a decent variety in the menu. The service is quick and the staff is really nice.

Wow this place is amazing. We ordered more than we could eat in one sitting because there were just too many appetizing choices on the menu. The service was impeccable; she must have been the owner and head chef. The ambiance is relaxed and clean. Perfect complement for the food and service. On the way out of the parking lot we saw their food truck. I would love to follow them wherever they might show up. Super A++ read more

The food was decent, but not amazing. My favorite dish was the vegetarian green curry. The flavor was good and it had a variety of vegetables. I also enjoyed the pad Thai, but it was light on the peanut. My usual go to is drunken noodles and I was disappointed. It was very heavy on the soy sauce which masked any other flavor and was wayyyy too salty. Tasted more like pad see ew not kee mao. Their pricing is not bad though and my food was ready within 15-20 minutes on a Saturday night. read more

A nice small town feel restaurant in a strip mall in Helmetta, NJ. Ordered the tomyum soup, chicken stir fry - pad Cha, and deluxe vegetarian penang curry. All food had plenty of Thai flavor, fresh vegetables, and the right amount (medium ) spicy was just perfect. Fresh peppercorn bunch was just too good in the chicken dish. The service was pleasant and lots of smiles to keep the environment calm and peaceful. Just a note that the beans could have been cooked a bit more. The rest of the vegetables, broccoli, green eggplant, red pepper yellow pepper tomatoes and onions were cooked to perfection. The gravy was flavorful and not too creamy. This made us focus on the flavors. The place was also BYOB and hence our red wine during and after the spicy food was just what made this dinner perfect. Love this place. Will visit again!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious noodles and rice with the best Thai tea I've had outside of a dedicated Asian tea joint. The drunken noodles and drunken rice were accompanied by a selection of optional spices.

It looks very spicy but it isn't. I got this from pad Thai from Thai food Addict. When you walk in you can chose the table you want to sit at or go up to the counter and order for takeout.

Easily the best Thai food in the area. The flavors, textures and spice that this restaurant delivers rivals restaurants in the city. The garlic chicken is so simple yet SO delicious it boggles the mind how it tastes SO good. The pineapple fried rice should not be missed. And the mango sticky rice, a dish I order at every Thai place I go ti, is by FAR the best I've ever had. They use black (purple?!) rice and top it with a coconut cream and toasted moong beans. I swear it's other worldly. There are few tables, so make a reservation if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night. You won't be disappointed. read more
