    This is a no frills Thai spot with great flavor, decent prices, a bubble tea menu, and an ice cream shop right down the hall. The chicken pad Thai (that we've had on two occasions so far) is authentic, and they accurately deliver whichever spice level you order. I can't stand when I ask for SPICY, but the place goes easy on me and gives me a mild or medium dish. Truly Thai doesn't do that - they actually give you the level that you order. The service is fast and the ladies are always friendly. The atmosphere is super casual (very basic decor, nothing trendy), but their high quality meals are enough to keep us coming back.

    An amazing homey Thai restaurant! While parking is limited the food and price is unbeatable. The lunch special is about $12 and comes with an entree and salad. The salad has this good peanut ginger sauce. I got the drunken noodles and Thai fried rice and both were amazing. They had a very Thai basil flavor, savory and spicy without being too much of anything. The mango sticky rice is also amazing. The mango was perfectly ripe despite the time of year and the rice has an almost wheat or barley flavor that I like to it. I'm so sad I didn't find this place sooner. The parking is a little difficult because there are only 3 spots.

    Cute hole in the wall kind of place with Boba tea and dessert in the front, and restaurant in the back. I ordered spring rolls, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, and Thai ice tea. Food was really good and the staff were super friendly and professional. For boba, I ordered Passionfruit Green Tea with popping Lychee boba, and that was absolutely amazing.

    We tried this Thai place for lunch. We ordered shrimp pad thai and grilled chicken (gayang). It tastes good. Serving Staff are friendly and helpful. They gave us a sample of Thai Iced tea on the house. Well decorated Thai Place. Parking is limited. They also have an ice cream parlor in the back for summer opening.

    Dining area for the restaurant

    We stopped here for some Thai food as we were in the area and saw the 4.8 rating. While there were some high points, generally we were disappointed compared to other Thai places we have dined at. We stopped in for lunch. The small complementary salad was not worth the effort and was pretty unappealing. The spice fish cake appetizers were a bit spongy in texture but delicious in flavor with its accompanying sauce. The star was the papaya salad. Very fresh and refreshing and I would order this and the fish cakes again. The pad Thai with tofu and vegetables was a bit too sweet and came out super hot. The massaman chicken was somewhat bland. Thai ice coffee was large. We ordered one for everyone at the table and they all came out with different shade of brown Decor is tired Chinese restaurant furniture and booths with Thai decorations. The front entrance leads you to an ice cream counter. The hall winds around back to the restaurant. Off street parking is limited to three spots in the back. Street parking is available across the street. This place is NOT handicapped accessible. There is no ramp at the front OR rear even though there would be room In front for an indoor ramp. Restrooms are also NOT handicapped accessible. Don't know how Sayreville thinks this is OK.

    Pad See Ew
    Kaitlin R.

    The pad see ew here is very good and delivery is speedy. I obviously can't speak to service or ambiance since I ordered delivery, but I would definitely order from here again. It was a bit on the pricier side but the servings were very generous and everyone had leftovers.

    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles)
    Yasmine G.

    We ordered takeout and our food got to us pretty quickly and everything was still piping hot. We got Spring Rolls, two of us had the Pad Kee Mao with Beef and one of ordered the Pad See Ew. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The Spring Rolls were crunchy and the filling was delicious. The Pad Kee Mao had the perfect amount of spice and a good proportion of beef. I get the Pad Kee Mao almost every time I get Thai food and this was definitely one of the best I've had. Would definitely recommend!

    Chicken Satay and Moo Ping
    Lawrence D.

    My wife and I ordered take-out this past Saturday evening from Truly Thai. The front of the building faces Main Street and appears under construction. The main entrance is on the side street, up a few steps and you are inside. The counter and this room is neat and clean with about a dozen tables. There was a party of six obviously enjoying their meal. The staff is friendly and courteous. They said 20 minutes to be ready and it was a little less than that. Returning home we had our appetizers, Chicken Satay and Moo Ping (pork BBQ). The peanut sauce with the Chicken Satay was fabulous while the Moo Ping had a delicious sweet and sour sauce. For our entrees, my wife had Pad Gra Tiem, her choice of protein was crispy duck and she said it was so good. The garlic sauce matched perfectly. I had Pad Gra Prow, my choice of protein was chicken. The Thai Basil sauce was fragrant and delicious. Each dish came with Jasmine rice. Sayreville and the surrounding areas have been bereft of good Thai food. Truly Thai is a breath of fresh and delicious air. We will be returning. One note, I only took photos of the appetizers. Those were so good that we both dug into our entrees with delight and I forgot to take photos.

    Pad Prik Khing
    Kerry F.

    We eat quite a bit of Thai, but this has been our very favorite to date! We came for lunch and ordered two appetizers and four lunch specials to share between just the two of us because we wanted to sample the different dishes. We ordered the spring rolls and Tom Yum soup, the barbequed special, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken with cashews and Pad Prik Khing. Every dish was better than the next! The flavors were so intense, yet perfect! The wait staff were truly personable and accommodating too. The place was comfortable and clean. The decor wasn't anything special, but I have no problem with that because the food and service is what matters. I'm drooling just thinking about it. ready to go back NOW!!!

    Fried Iced cream (Left), Fried Banana Rolls (Right), Mango and Sticky Rice (Bottom)

    First of all, entrance for the restaurant is on the side street and not on Main. Stopped in over the weekend to dine in. They have a very small parking lot on the side street. 3 cars if you're lucky. Believe they opened less than 2 months ago. It's a pretty small dining area inside with only about 10 or 12 tables total including booths. We shared 3 apps... Spring rolls,edamame & Thai dumplings. Entrees were... Pad Thai,Pad cashew (spicy), and Thai bbq with pork. You will have leftovers on these if you're coming for dinner. Save room for dessert. We shared 3. They were, fried banana rolls with ice cream (our favorite), mango & sticky rice, and fried ice cream. Those banana rolls were served warm with vanilla ice cream. That was sinfully good and not too sweet. Just wish that there were more than 4 small ones. :) Service was excellent. We met one of the owners at the end when settling up our bill. He showed the 3 of us the front part of this property. Which is going to be serving bubble tea and ice cream in a few months. Prices are very reasonable here. And yes, welcome to Sayreville.

    Truly amazing food! We had the calamari, the green curry, chicken satay, mixed seafood pad kee mao and Thai Ice Tea. Everything was fresh and hot. The atmosphere is great. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations. We had food left over and ordered dessert to go. We also picked up ice cream from the parlor in the front. We ordered scoops of caramel apple pie, pumpkin and chocolate pretzel.. which we rich and decadent. We're planning a trip back soon.

    Massama Curry with shrimps.

    As a person used to travel to Thailand for business trip every year, I don't feel Truly Thai's good quality and taste is authentic enough. This was the first time we tried this restaurant. We ordered the classic Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, and Massama curry. None of them was up to standard. Either was too sweet or spicy, not enough aroma of Thai herbs. That lost the authenticity. The dishes were not bad but mediocre. However, the portion was generous. If a restaurant cannot even make basic classic dishes, I can only give 3 stars and will not be back.

    The service was quick…read more The food is ready good. The person behind the counter was very pleasant and he answered all my questions.

    I will start by saying that the staff was working really hard to accommodate customers and working…read moreas quickly as they could. Unfortunately, the team was way too behind to meet customer orders, and as a result there was more chaos than is needed at a salad place. It seemed like the team fell rapidly behind between online and in person orders with most customers waiting 30mins+ during lunch. Given that this was a work day, there seemed to be a lot of frustration around the whole place -especially with people needing to rush back to work. My real disappointment though was the food. I ordered the fit and fueled, and the restaurant forgot the romaine. The entire dish was also scarce on all ingredients except for the shredded carrots and quinoa. There were a few tomatoes, feta, cucumbers, and bits of chicken scattered about, making the dish overall just carrots and quinoa. While I initially chose to dine in, I soon had to switch to takeout given the time it took to get my meal. However, between the yelling of customers and team and overall chaos of the place, dining in did not seem as relaxing as I first thought it would be. I did hear this place is still only a couple months old, so if I were more local Id wait a bit for operations to smoothen out before giving it another shot, but wouldn't discount it entirely based on my one experience.
