Reviews for River Thai Cuisine in South River, NJ
Solid food. Prices a little high. I ordered the pad thai shrimp, asked for XL portion. The portion I received is smaller than... what I get for lunch at my favorite Thai place a few towns over. There was no heat level, as far as spice goes. I also orderedthe summer roll. For almost $9, I got three rolls with one medium sized shrimp in each. $9 for 3 shrimp is a bitridiculous. The flavors were good. The food was fresh. I've previously had their green curry, which is great. But I spent $25on lunch and wasn't as full as if I spent $15 at my favorite Thai place. Place is takeout only. No in-house delivery, either.Only thru third-party apps. There is a public parking lot (metered parking) right behind the restaurant. Read more
Long time customer, this is by far the best place to have thai food. To all east brunswick, south river, sayreville, old bridge... folks, come and visit this wonderful place. No dine in available, just great food. You will not be disappointed. Read more
Unfortunately the food was so bad we left. The waitress was very nice
So I tried a few different things from this restaurant and figured they're not great but it's okay they're not horrible. So I... tried to call amari which didn't have any real taste to it other than fried crust that my kids said it tastes like chicken LOL.The wings that I got were actually really good. The dumplings I can go without them my daughter says she prefers the ones fromthe Chinese restaurant better the flavor is better. And finally the entree I purchased with shrimp again it was okay wasn't thatflavorful, the shrimp still had their ends on them but overall I think it was just the lack of a mixture of flavors for me if Icompare it to other Thai places that I've been to. Again it's far from a horrible place but they can do better. Read more
Love this place! Service is always great, BYOB, and everything I have tried has been delish!! Appetizers chicken satay and... steamed chicken and shrimp dumplings. Read more
I was in the area and decided to try out River Thai Cuisine. The restaurant was pretty quiet and had friendly staff. I ordered... the Shrimp Pad Thai (pictured below) and the Tom Yum soup. Both items came out within 10 min of ordering and were delicious; Iparticular liked the level of spice of the pad Thai (4/5). Definitely worth another visit. Read more
The Thai basil noodles are great here! In the years I've been coming here I've never had a dish I didn't like.
Edit** UPDATE 11/12/22 I just felt like I needed to throw in an update after all that's happened in the world. I've been a... regular patron of River Thai for over a decade now and I still love it just as much as ever. During the pandemic, it wascomforting to know I could still get my favorite food. The food is always hot and delicious whether you dine-in or take-out. Theadded benefit of DoorDash/GrubHub helps on the days I can't get there personally. And of course the staff is as lovely andwonderful as ever. If you've never tried Thai, make this your first adventure. You will not regret it. If you're a Thai foodveteran, than do yourself a favor and stop in. It's still by FAR my favorite Thai place and the only one I'll go to. Originalreview: First place I tried Thai and it’s still my favorite. They have extremely friendly employees, big portions, and thefood itself is just amazing. It’s always a good time for River Thai. Unfortunately, like many Thai restaurants, they areclosed on Mondays So sometimes I think ahead and order on Sunday so I have it on Monday. It’s that good! Read more
