Frequently criticized
- foodfood was very ordinary , nothing special!
- Kee Mao noodlesI ordered Pad Thai with shrimp and the Kee Mao with shrimp for takeout. The Pad Thai was alright, but the noodles of the Kee Mao were overly soft. When I went for a shrimp, I found a dead bug had been cooked into the dish.

- drinksThe drinks are full of ices

- real Thai styledid NOT taste like real Thai style
- salmonThe yellow chicken curry and salmon curry were amazing in flavor and spice. My only negative feedback is that the salmon was dry. It seemed to have been pan-fried and then cooked in the curry, which unfortunately made it dry.
- soupThe soup is blan.
If you're seeking authentic Thai flavors and generous portions, this spot is definitely worth a try, as most diners rave about the quality. Just be mindful of potential inconsistencies in spice levels and, as with any dining experience, hope for the best in terms of kitchen oversight.

Authentic Thai Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. Their pad thai tasted very close to our family favorite, Ploy Siam of NJ.
The food was rated a 5, and I agree it was excellent. The atmosphere was also a perfect 5, making for a very enjoyable dinner. The service was equally impressive, receiving a 5-star rating.

Great Local Thai Food Discovery
I had a fantastic experience at this local Thai restaurant and wish I had discovered it sooner. I was surprised to learn it had been in this center for 3 years without my knowledge. The lunch specials were well priced and very fulfilling.
I particularly enjoyed the veg soup, spring rolls, and gyoza, which were all incredibly fresh. The spicy noodles were excellent. As someone who enjoys spicy food, I found the level 5 spice to be quite potent.
Given their 1-10 scale, I would likely opt for a 3 or 4 next time, with the option for extra spice on the side if needed. This restaurant is a great option for a quick bite before picking up the kids.

Top-Tier Thai Food Experience
My experience at this Thai restaurant was exceptional. I've tried several places in the RB area, and this one stands out as top tier. The food was incredibly fresh and tasty.
We enjoyed the Pad See Ew with tofu, and both the noodles and tofu were remarkably fresh, unlike the dry and old tofu found elsewhere. The Banana curry was also a delightful choice, and the kids loved the chicken noodle soup with veggies, as well as the egg rolls. The service was impressively fast and friendly.
Our server was very helpful in guiding us through plate selections and spice levels. The place itself is very clean and well kept.

Delicious Food, Great Service, Parking a Challenge
This was a surprise place for my wife, and she had never been here before. We experienced excellent service and the Crying Tiger was DELICIOUS. My wife had the Beef Jerky, which was also perfectly cooked.
We topped off our meal with Coconut 🥥 Juice and a tall lemonade 😋.
