Bright, stylish Thai in Montclair serves authentic, soulful dishes with generous portions and fair prices. The lively, welcoming dining room is clean and BYOB-friendly, and service is consistently friendly and fast — takeout is popular. Highlights include curries, tom yum/kha, papaya salad, chicken satay, and bold Thai iced tea; vegetarian and gluten‑free options are abundant and adaptable. Occasional inconsistency with Pad Thai has been noted, but overall this spot is a reliable go-to for families, couples, and groups.

Visited this place on Feb 11th, 2022 for dinner. Place has positive vibes to it. Welcomed my group and got the table within 10 minutes. We had order Thai ice tea, dumpling, chicken satay, 3x pad Thai, two curry, fried rice. Out of the 3 pad Thai firstorder came super fast but it was so smelly like almost like socks stinking. Other 2 orders took some times but came good, tastedgood. Both curry were delicious. Best of all Thai Ice tea was the best. I will re-think once again to visit this place again.
Originally planned to go to Sushi Hana but they were closed for dine in. My friend and I decided to try this place out and was surprised on how good the food is. Great portion for an affordable price. We've ordered spring rolls, tom yum soup, pad thaisand thai iced tea! Food is very authentic and so far the best Thai restaurant I've been to. Will definitely go back.
Delicious! My husband and I really enjoyed our meal. We ordered chicken dumplings, Tom yum soup, the marinated chicken with curry, and fried bananas with icecream. Everything was very enjoyable and the portions were plentiful. The service wassurprisingly fast for how busy it was. Our server Stef was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back for our nextThai fix :

Excellent service and delicious food! The prices were quite reasonable, and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really appealing as well. I would definitely return!
I had another fantastic experience here! My family and I stopped by for the salmon topped with Tom Ka sauce, accompanied by a side of rice. It was delicious all around! The slice of salmon was generous and the portions were quite satisfying. Both the meal and the customer service exceeded my expectations. While parking in Montclair, especially on Bloomfield Ave, can be challenging, there are parking lots in the nearby streets that are just a short walk away. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service and my server were outstanding. We ordered the Kai Yang special, Tom Kha soup, and mango salad, all of which were excellent and delicious. Interestingly, the Pad Thai we took out was the least impressive of the dishes, but it was still tasty! I would definitely return here. It was such a great time!
I got takeout for the family from here tonight and it was phenomenal! We have a Celiac person and they were responsive to the need of gluten free (for the Pad Thai). Everything was piping hot when we unpacked it and sat down with it. I would definitely return for dine in and recommend to everyone!Dietary restrictions: Responsive to gluten free needs related to Celiac Disease. The only thing we specified to have GF was the Chicken Pad Thai, but as the Celiac I have not gotten sick or felt any symptoms. I can’t wait to go back for dine-in and hopefully try more GF meals.
I visited this restaurant on a Friday afternoon shortly after it opened for the day and I was seated immediately. It was nice to enjoy the restaurant when it was nearly empty before the large crowds (and noise) arrived. The atmosphere was inviting and warm.The staff was excellent. Everyone was very friendly, attentive, and efficient.To start, I ordered the Mango Salad. It was fresh, crispy, filling and delicious. For my main, I ordered the Half Kai Yang (chicken) with Massaman Curry. The flavor the curry was delicious and the chicken was tender. The portion of the meal was very large I had to take most of it home and then I was able to split it into two small meals. Definitely an excellent value for the money.Overall a very good experience!
