Nov. '21 My son and I went there a while ago and ate in the dining room, which wasn't being used by patrons much. Most just got their carry-out meals and left. We had good service and enjoyable food, although I wouldn't call it authentic Thai food. I recommend the food, though.
Mar. '22 I took both of my kids there for sushi and Asian food to celebrate my daughter getting all As at school. The sushi chef had the day off :(. Service was ok although not stellar. At one point, being unable to get my waitresses attention because she'd walk past one way and then return to the kitchen a different way, I spent a few minutes with my arm sticking up out of our booth to try to get her attention but she didn't see it. There were only a few tables being used, so it was just a lack of awareness.0
Appetizers: Thai vegetable spring roll: a lightly fried roll that was enjoyable. The waitress indicated that the chef prepares these daily. Chicken satay: perfectly seasoned and cooked chicken fillets (but no skewers) served with a side of the chef's version of the peanut sauce, which uses not only sugar but also plums and coconut milk (not heart-healthy). I recommend both.
They were out of raspberry tea, so my kids got the refillable unsweetened tea, which had a very mild flavor.
Main meals: Bamee wonton soup: This was in a tasty clear broth with cilantro, bean sprouts, lots of noodles, overcooked slices of pork, and some wontons. The wontons had very soft pasta and tasted good. I'd certainly recommend this! Pho noodle soup: My daughter and I both ordered this at level 5. Level 5 is their highest level of piquancy but is really about a medium. What I didn't realize, given that the food they serve is from a combination of countries (e.g. China, Japan, Thailand), is that their Pho is Thai Pho, which is very different from Vietnam's Pho. It came in a very large bowl but, for whatever reason, my daughter's had a great deal more broth than mine. The base is not a clear broth with basil and cilantro - it is a red-brown soup with fresh basil (that I couldn't taste), to which the chef added lots of noodles, bean sprouts, a handful of fried tofu (which protects it from falling apart but prevents it from soaking up flavor), a handful of red bell pepper and a couple of leaves of basil. Since I had expected it to be like the Pho from Vietnam, I didn't find the flavor to be enjoyable, and I thought this was because of the freshly chopped Thai chilis that had been added, so I requested more Pho broth, thinking again of the Vietnamese Pho, in order to correct the flavor. The chef himself came out with a bowl of the same broth and even offered me clear broth (like in the Bamee wonton soup) if I didn't like it. He had me taste it but I felt bad about wasting it even though I realized that the problem was the broth, not the chili peppers. I guess some people will enjoy this soup, but I was not impressed at all. Adding the "plain" Pho broth made little difference and tasting the Bamee soup made me wish I'd chosen that broth instead. Finally, however, I added the satay sauce, which made the soup enjoyable.
I recommend this restaurant but, if you have heart concerns, avoid the curries and anything else...
Read moreTong's Thai restaurant exceeded my expectations and delivered a truly remarkable Asian dining experience. As someone who appreciates great Asian cuisine, I was thrilled to discover Tong's and it did not disappoint.
The menu offered a wide range of options, and after much contemplation, I decided to try the Green Curry, Pad Kee Mao, and Thai Basil Fried Rice. Oftentimes there are hits and misses. To my delight, each dish was bursting with flavor. The aromatic spices and carefully crafted combinations truly showcased the expertise of the chefs at Tong's.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes, I must admit that my only minor concern was the quantity of protein in the dishes. However, when compared to other Asian restaurants, Tong's still managed to maintain a commendable standard and even surpassed it in some regards. The flavors were so captivating that I barely noticed the slight discrepancy.
Overall, Tong's Thai restaurant left a lasting impression, and I can't wait to return for more culinary delights. If you're searching for an Asian restaurant that goes above and beyond, Tong's is undoubtedly the place to be. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable gastronomic journey that will leave you...
Read moreI like Thai food, so it was time to try Tong's Thai in Milford. We ordered crab puffs which came out very quickly and were tasty. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai at a level 2 spice (1-5). Ordinarily I'd go 3, but I wanted to play it safe. I definitely could have gone up to a 3 or 4 as the 2 was not even remotely spicy to me. The Pad Thai had good flavor though, and came out hot. It was a huge portion for sure; I could hardly eat it all! Good value for the money.
We did not have to wait long for anything. Service was pretty good, nothing crazy but we were never neglected. The interior of the restaurant itself was clean, albeit a bit dull. Could have been a bit lighter, especially since it was a cloudy day.
Overall, I give 4 stars. Tong's Thai is a solid casual Thai restaurant. While it isn't exceptional or mind-blowing, the food is solid and a good value, the service is good, and the...
