PingYang Thai NJ — Restaurant in Belleville

🌟 A hidden gem worth discovering!

This cozy little Thai restaurant just opened recently, and it’s run by a lovely young couple who seem to be starting both a family and a business together. I parked at the lot across the street (about $1.50) and honestly, it was well worth it for the experience and food I received.

As soon as I walked in, the woman who runs the front greeted me warmly with a smile and kindly let me know that food might take a little longer today since her husband was the only one cooking. There were only a couple of other tables at the time, so it felt calm and welcoming.

The menu isn’t overly extensive or fancy, but it covers all the Thai essentials you’d expect. I ordered a few recommended and classic dishes: • Chef’s special: Crispy Chicken Cashew Sauce • Thai Dumplings • Eggplant Basil with Tofu • 2 Thai Iced Teas

Surprisingly, the service was perfectly timed. Drinks and appetizers came out quickly, followed by the main dishes at just the right moment. I could tell the chef wasn’t just cooking to get food out—he really cared about the quality and presentation. The dishes looked vibrant and fresh, clearly made with thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

The dumplings weren’t greasy or made from fatty leftovers like I’ve seen elsewhere. Everything—from the cashew sauce to the basil eggplant—was full of flavor and so satisfying. The portions were generous; I had to pack some to take home.

What stood out the most was the genuine care. The owner was moving gracefully between the kitchen and tables, always smiling, checking in on guests, and making sure everyone was happy.

✨ Without a doubt, I’ll be coming back. This place is about to have me...

First timer trying Thai so factor this into the review. Ordering: made simple, online and very detailed when clicking into the item to understand what you are ordering. They are also found on Uber Eats, but you can not add any modifications to the dish only what is made available on Uber Eats. Ordering direct from the site you are able to add in conditions for allergies. Pick up is the only option on their site, so if you need it delivered Uber or DD would be your only options. Pick up was cool as they are located in a test kitchen, and your food was waiting for you in lockers. You go to the site sent to your phone and open your locker door. So cool! Food: very flavorful and vibrant for to go platters. Ordered a Shrimp Pad Thai, egg rolls, BBQ Chicken, Chicken Drunken Noodles and steamed veggies. The Pad Thai was as described on the site and made with the requested modifications. The Drunken Noodles was good, what would’ve made it great is if the chicken wasn’t over cooked. It was a bit hard but this might be because they where thin fillets of breast meet. Very flavorful and portion side is right for the cost. Can serve a party of two with one order. The BBQ Chicken was great. Also breast meat but grilled in full then sliced on top of a bed of carrots and broccoli. The sauces that came with it was Thai inspired for sure. The red one was intense spice while the dark sauce was more sweet with a hint of spice. Steamed veggies were a nice surprise as they added in String beans and baby Bok Choi. Would’ve gave 5 stars all around if it weren’t for the Drunken Chicken being overdone. Definitely a repeat visit is...

I found this place on Uber Eats and I decided to call instead and pick up because I was very curious. Overall the food was amazing. Excellent customer service from the moment I called to the moment I picked up. I’m giving this a 5/5 review but there are some things I would like to note.

Our order consisted of Tofu Red Curry, Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Pad See Ew, and Thai Iced Tea. The Curry was amazing, great spice level and very flavorful. If there was one thing that we wanted more of was vegetables. The amount of tofu that was served was perfect. Other places pack more vegetables less tofu but this was the opposite. Besides that the red curry was perfect. The Chicken Pad Thai was 10/10 no complaints. The Beef Pad See Ew was also very flavorful but some of the broccoli stems felt undercooked so it was hard to get through certain pieces. Besides that everything else was amazing. Now the Iced Tea was not the best thing that we’ve tried and honestly feel very short on the expectations. I’m going to assume it was just an off batch of the tea because everything else was amazing. We honestly couldn’t finish the tea and felt very disappointed with the drink but that didn’t hinder the overall experience from this spot. I would definitely order from here again and even give the iced tea...
