In February of 2026, we ordered dinner for pick up from Thai Village one evening. The food was ready when promised and was not too costly. Parking is not too difficult at the time of pick up, probably because this is a little far from the Princeton downtown. The inside of the restaurant looked pretty nice. It was full of people, which probably suggests that this is a popular place. The food was plentiful and quite tasty. Overall, we were happy with the food and would try their food again. read more

This is my goto Thai restaurant. Why spend twice across the street when you can enjoy terrific quality right here. Drunken noodles! Red curry! Pad Se Eiw! My mouth is watering just writing this. read more

Excellent service with great tasting food. One of the best pad thai places we've eaten in a while. The braised beef noodle soup is also very good. The beef was so tender and you get the option of flat noodles or regular noodles. I opted for the flat noodles which went very well with the beef. We also ordered the lychee iced thai tea as well the regular thai tea. We didn't get to try the lychee thai tea as soon after it was brought out, they took it back saying the lychee wasn't good. They brought out a regular thai tea instead. Plenty of seating for small or large group. They also have outdoor seating. Overall, very happy with the food and service. read more

Food was little salty but the appetizer set was so delicious! Service was good it might take some time for meal to come since they freshly cook for each dish just be mindful of it. read more

Food and service were great, there was an elder couple acting like psychos towards the waitress but she handled it well.

This is not THAI food. It's more like poor quality Chinese food. Not sure what's happen to this place but it really is awful. The Thai tea taste artificial. Do not believed it's brewed, probably a syrup mix. The peanut dressing cannot have any actually peanuts- just a bunch of sugar and soy sauce. I had a Thai noodle dish, tastes nothing like a the Thai dish Ive had my whole life, tasted ok but it's not Thai food. Should not be called a Thai restaurant. Obviously, not coming back. read more

Lunch special is phenomenal. Chicken pad Thai is about $12 and comes with a spring roll or other choices. Great amount of food for a low price. Service is extremely quick and the lunchtime it seems is super popular for folks to come in and with good reason. Overall ambiance is nice it's more of a hole in wall place which is certainly my vibe. I will be back! read more

Thai Village - 21. Pad Thai Noodles - Thai Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I remember first coming to Thai Village almost 20 years ago and being blown away by the food. At the time, I hadn't experienced enough Thai food, nor were there the plethora of Thai restaurant options we see today in the area. Over the years, I have had less than stellar experiences, so it's safe to assume that the overall low rating is based on years of prior reviews. Thai Village has been under new owners, since 2020 and I must say that our meal was fabulous. Undoubtedly, the biggest plus for this place is its prime location right on Nassau Street in Princeton. We had lunch here on Saturday - we ordered the Tom Yum Soup, Thai Basil Chicken, Sweet and Sour Thai Vegetables, and Tofu Drunken Noodles. Our party of 4 devoured everything and the food was flavorful and delicious. The portion sizes were on the smaller side in relation to the prices and when compared to other places. Overall, a good food experience. read more

Had to rate one star only because yelp makes me... Terrible waitress, threw soup in my face

This place is excellent. The prices are reasonable unlike Amazing Thai. Lil Thai Pin is horrible, see my review. Their wide egg noodles are amazingly soft. The owner gives great service and is kind. I had the braised beef flank noodle soup. I was chasing the flavors of Vietnamese pho, but this was a bit spicier with chili oil. Still, the noodles were amazing, and the beef was so tender and flavorful. I also had the mixed vegetables dish, with added beef. This was also excellent with fresh crunchy veggies and soft beef. I wish it didn't have excess brown gravy though. I was chasing the experience of Palms Thai on Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, CA, which is amazing. This was close. If you don't want sweet, I would strongly recommend drunken noodles with beef. My tab came out to $28, $34 with tip. No drinks except water. read more

Service - GREAT. very polite. FOOD - really good. The spring rolls (fried) are a bit bland but the sauce makes it. The Ginger Fried Rice is delish I love the strong ginger in there but too much fish sauce. The Green Curry is dynamite! I got medium spice level and it's not too spicy. The green curry was packed with veggies I loved it! COVID-19 - sat outside and at at the restaurant. Got bottled water as I wasn't comfortable with a glass. the staff was wearing masks and gloves and sanitized between customers. Whatever they sanitize with smelled strongly of alcohol which put me at ease actually to know they are sanitizing well. You cannot go inside the restaurant at all, you just sit at a table and they bring a menu to you. read more

Came here for lunch with a couple of friends a few weeks back and enjoyed myself. It took a while to read through the menu because it was pretty massive - lots of different options! I'm always tempted by the drunken noodle (AKA the pad see ew) but ended up ordering the Thai Beef instead (extra hot). The food was brought out pretty quickly, and I thought it was pretty tasty! The cut of beef wasn't anything super special, but there was a lot of flavor infused, and the hotness wasn't insane but it definitely packed a punch. The portion size was perfect for lunch, but I do think it was a little too expensive for the amount of food. Overall, I can imagine coming back here, but I'd have to really be craving Thai because it's just a little too pricey for me ($17.95 before tax and tip) under normal circumstances :) read more

Pad see ew was really good. The chef was very attentive - she noticed the spicy mango salad was a bit too spicy and was suggesting to make a non-spicy version. read more

So I tried another dish - pad see eww and it was just ok ... I would stick to the pad Thai if I order again read more

Been going here to eat for a while now. The place was just newly renovated. Service is usually extremely fast, so if you are looking for a quick place to dine in or get take out, I'd recommend coming here. The food is pretty delicious, so I really don't understand the poor reviews. In terms of authenticity, the Thai food served is more americanized. It's just like if you go to some chinese restaurant, you shouldn't expect it to 100% represent true Chinese dishes. Overall, I'd recommend trying it out. read more

I've eaten here both before and after covid. I've noticed the prices have gone up, service has gone down, and the portion size stayed the same. Taste is ok but overpriced IMO. Space inside the restaurant is still cramped. They also started charging customers the Credit Card service fee on the receipt.. read more

I've been going here for years: before all the newer Thai spots popped up, Thai Village was one of the few Thai spots in the area. I like that I know what I'll get, it's nothing fancy but it's to the point and fills your craving. They did recently get a new management and I did notice the prices went up a bit. I usually get the veggie or chicken pad Thai. Their Thai iced tea does not disappoint. Their roti canai appetizer comes with two pieces of warm roti and the sauce is tangy and sweet. read more

Ordered during the holidays when we had friends visiting from NYC, the food was really delicious. We had red curry and it was the best our fam had ... it was much more creamier than other places we've tried. They really got the red curry down right. We also ordered Padthai for take out and knew that we would have to heat it up at home and the noddles wouldn't be as great from a take out order but we still enjoyed it. The food was prepped pretty fast, we called in advance and had a good experience with the staff. Would def be coming back and considering them for our next catering event! read more

Where do i begin? Hmmm. Ill start by saying that it was my first time at this place and definately my last too. I wouldnt eat here for free. Ill start with the service. I came in around 2pm on a sunday I shouldve known something was wrong because the place was pretty much deserted. Only 3 customers and they were dining outside I walked in and the server kept passing by me while i waited for a few mins No one was seated inside. After about 5 mins the server which is also the hostess looked at me and said "sit anywhere on that side " The server was rude and have no people skills whatsoever Facial expression wa like a mannequin ... she looked dead Not friendly or a smile Just rude Then i order the food The food comes out and It was so bland and no flavor noodles were rubbery maybe microwaved Barely poultry in the dish I had ordered the chicken and tofu drunken noodles(pad kee mao) The food was not even decent I give the food a 1 and the service a 0 Place was a waste of time and money I literally had 3 bites and that was it talk about a Terrible place If you want great thai food go to thai mama in crandford nj Trust me youll never go back to thai village Not even if they gave the food away for free read more

Rude owner - We dined there and all 3 of us got sick. If you have food allergies, beware, because they do not know about the food they serve. How could they? they didn't make it! Do not believe their assurances, they don't know the ingredients because they didn't read the label. They are just heating up somebody else' recipe and they don't bother to read the ingredients. So when they tell you there are no nuts, or anything else, don't believe them. By the way, nut allergies can be deadly, but these people don't care. They will freely lie to your face and not acknowledge their mistakes, not change their ways. Who knows what else they misrepresent? read more

Good food! We tried the Dumplings and they are reasonable big, good portions. Also tried the Spring rolls and it was delicious. I order the Fried rice with Shrimp, Chicken and Meat, it has a lot of big chunks of meat. It was delicious. My wife order Pad Talay, it had a sea food party on the plate. Also with good taste. Overall the food is really good read more

I was in the Princeton area on Sunday and I was actually craving sushi buttttttt I know it's not a smart choice for sushi on a Sunday so, I went with Thai food instead. I have to say that this place needs an Extreme Makeover Restaurant Edition (where is Ty Pennington when you need him!?) I mean from the floors to the walls just everything. If you're looking for fancy then this place definitely isn't for you. I didn't enjoy the employees being on their phones the whole time they had customers to attend to. When we walked in there were three employees and they were all sitting on their phones and we actually had to yell, " excuse me" just to get notice ( we were all in the same room believe it or not). The customer service needs a lot of improvement. Now, onto the food. I don't know how I felt about it, I mean it was good but not great. I think the bar I set for Thai food is pretty high since my first experience eating Thai was so so SO amazing. But I'm not knocking this place my Pad si-io was good, it wasn't great but it was good and a decent portion as well. I don't think I would visit this location again for mainly two reasons. One being the service and two being that I have better Thai food closer to where I reside with more attentive service and better decor. read more

We know businesses are struggling during Covid time this is why we try to support them as much as we can during the weekends. Today we had a terrible experience with Thai village, flavor was terrible, (we have had Thai many times and tried this place for the first time, again to support and give everyone a chance) but who ever cooked had no idea what Thai food tastes like! ) the size of the portions was ridiculous; overall a terrible experience. We know they are struggling but who isn't right? Please don't buy from them! read more

I highly recommend their new item "Holy Basil Pork (Pad Kra Pao)"! It's very flavorful and make you want to order extra rice! The chopped string bean, cilantro and thai basil makes every bite refreshing. (Got too excited forgot to take pic lol) They are owned by new owner now and even added some new items such as salted egg pork. Can't wait to try them next time!

My family comes to Princeton on the day after Christmas every year to see the tree and do some shopping. We always, without fail, come to this restaurant to get Pad Thai before our long spree. The restaurant is never what I would call crowded, but there is always someone else dining there. The food comes out quickly, and is always hot and fresh. It was exceptionally chilly the day we visited, so we all got soup as well. I got the number 1, which is a mix of hot and sour and lemongrass. The hot and sour does not reflect well in this combination but the lemongrass sheds light on the Thai specialty. I always opt for the shrimp Pad Thai because it is really great here. They put the peanut shavings on the side so you can mix in any desired amount. One person in my party got a Thai red curry sauce with shrimp, which was spicy but also very good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick, filling bite to eat in a quiet atmosphere! read more

This restaurant is great. Probably the best place in town for a casual meal in my opinion. The service is always exceptional. The food is good. I've enjoyed all of my dishes that I've ever ordered here - the salmon, the panang curry, the pad thai. I've enjoyed all my appetizers that I've had here too that I've shared. It's very interesting and fun that Thai Village serves coconut water in coconuts! Would recommend. My biggest complaint is that their spiciest way to make meals isn't spicy enough for me. I look forward to returning again here. read more

We have been here many times before. This is a great casual Thai restaurant about a mile East of Princeton University. Today, we started off with Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. My Wife had Thai Fried Rice and my daughter and I both had Pad Thai (I had shrimp and my Daughter had beef). We all had Thai Tea and Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert (one serving was enough for three people). As always food and service were both authentic and excellent. Have never had a bad experience here. Small and cozy with a real family business feel. I highly recommend it to everyone. Today, we all had "pop" Thai food. They do a great job with standard Thai-American fare dishes. But other times I had duck and curry dishes--always excellent with great value and nice cozy atmosphere. read more

Incredibly surprised by the low ratings that this excellent establishment has received recently. Extremely reasonable pricing for what you get. The restaurant is clean, adheres to COVID-19 restrictions, and you can grab a tiny guava candy on your way out if you so choose. Overall, Thai Village is my go-to for lunch during this pandemic. The staff are friendly and courteous, the food comes out in a timely manner, and it is one of the best Thai food in the area. I always order the chicken pad thai and I enjoy every last bite! read more

I ordered spring rolls, beef satay, and Masaman curry. The spring rolls were wet and loosely filled with brownish bean sprouts, thickly julienned carrots (difficult to eat), and cooking onion pieces, The minimal sauce was watery and tasteless. The waiter served me chicken satay instead of the beef satay that I had ordered. The chicken was overcooked, dry, and tasteless. The peanut sauce was watery and did nothing to complement the chicken. The curry was a disaster! The bowl of rice might have been good....the day before I had placed my order. Shame on you! I read the menu, and the listed ingredients were not included in the food that I was served. Furthermore, the food preparation techniques lacked basic culinary skills in cutting, flavor balance, and presentation. No, I will not return. read more
