Came here with friends. First Thai restaurant in Bergen County. Very nice atmosphere. A lot of seating too. We had Pad Thai. Very good but seemed a little oily. We also had the massaman curry which was flavorful and plentiful. It was really good. Friends had a beef in gravy dish that they loved. Slices of beef that were tender.The service was great. Four dishes with tax and tip was $80. Tip: Parking is street parking with meters. Tip: takes reservations.

Stopped by for dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived before 7 pm and within twenty minutes the entire place was packed. It seems like reservations are the smart way to go on weekends since the restaurant is on the smaller side.Food and service were exceptional. Dessert was a satisfying surprise (try the red bean ice cream), and prices were very affordable. Décor really adds up to a calming dining experience. Plenty of street parking in the area. Very recommended, will definitely return.

Drove by a few weeks ago and the place looked cute from the street so we tried it out a few days later loving Thai food for many years. Well it was wonderful authentic thai food with outstanding service and to boot its a byob. Inside is neat and clean with nice linen on the tables. Have now been there twice to eat and all dishes were fantastic and authentic. Great steamed dumplings, pad thai and red curry with coconut milk served with tender chicken and or pork so yummy! We wish them good luck and success in this wonderful little restaurant! Cant wait to go back. Say hello to chef/owner Lynn if you get a chance.

Bottom Line:Came here for lunch. Will be back for dinner soon. Pork Rice dish made with real tender pork shoulder, not that kooky red stuff you see at ubiquitous American-ized Chinese restaurants. No soy on the table. Proud owner-chef couple. Seemed authentic. I had the Whole Crispy Red Snapper. I left nothing but the bonesâ¦and I even ate some of those. Go here and eat.Standard Disclaimer: Iâm a first generation Italian-American, who likes Asian food, as long as it doesnât burn out my insides. Stopped here after an extended appt at my favorite Hackensack Infusion Suite. 2pm. Needed food, and this place was highly regarded. I see why. Very authentic Thai / Lao food. There must be at least six signs indicating that their spice is at least four times spicier than traditional Asian food that you usually eat. âif you donât like spicy, please donât order spicyâ. You donât have to tell me twice. I ordered the Whole Red Snapper, crispy fried. It came covered with vegetables; some I recognized, some I had no idea what they were, but they donât sell them at any grocery store I shop. Of course, I ordered no spice, as I am in âspice trainingâ. Spice Training is like the Olympics. You know how there are some kids who have been tumbling and twisting since they were kids, so tumbling is no big deal. Same thing with spice. I applaud the folks who grew up eating Serrano and Habenero, and other red and green chiles that donât even need a nameâtheyâre just wicked hot. I like the idea of eating wicked hot, but alas, Iâm not physically wired that way. So, mild spice it isâ¦but Iâm training, so wait until the next Olympics. The fish, while delicious, could have bulked up, as I thought I was a bit lanky for its $30 price tag. Itâs my fault. Crispy Whole Red Snapper was not on the lunch menu. They told me so, as well as the price to satisfy my request (I didnât think it was too much of as stretch as the dish was on the dinner menu as a special). Whatever. I enjoyed it. My wife had a pork rice dish with a Thai basil sauce that was very good. As mentioned before, Asians and pork have a love / love relationship, so it is no wonder that the dish contained shredded real pork and not that chewy garbage normally served in my downtown corner Chinese joint. Once again, the dish could have bulked up with more pork, but overall, it was more than adequate for a lunch special. So, come here and eat. Weâll be back, the next time weâre in town.
