Mink’s Pad Thai — Restaurant in Monmouth

Food is always delicious and well priced. Service is quick and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite Thai places to enjoy!

Had a pretty unfortunate experience today, 6/8/25 at Minks. 1st) the restaurant was HOT. I dont know if they don't have A/C maybe, but it was so uncomfortable, and stuffy, and eating hot food in a hot building while sweating was super unpleasant. 2nd) my friend asked for a Thai tea that was slightly less sweet than normal and the server looked like she had asked him calculus. Her tea was regular sweet and she couldn't finish it. 3rd) the server asked what spicy she wanted her curry at and she said medium. He did not ask me for my fried rice. Both of our meals were so spicy we were snuffly and tearing up and couldn't finish. It was too much. I was super disappointed. 4th) the server brought out a small container with a lid for my friend to bring her curry home; he DROPPED the lid on the floor, grabbed it, and proceeded to leave it on the table for use. I get up and go ask if we can just get a different lid and the first server looks me dead in the eyes and says "why?" Like I didn't just lock eyes with him picking up lid from the floor. I explain very nicely that we'd just be more comfortable with a clean one, and he says "its just the lid, not where the food actually goes." Luckily the other person behind the counter just reached around and gave me a lid but the one guy was seriously baffled why I would ask for one that hadn't been dropped on the restaurant floor?! Anyway. Definitely not a great experience, hoping it was just a bad day but will not be keen to go back...

I went here yesterday to have dinner with my boyfriend, and thought to try Thai food in a new area, so we went here to stop by and try some food. First thing, the atmosphere was okay but very empty which we really didn’t care about but felt a little weird. The service was okay but not what I expected, I asked what kind of meats they had and they just told me to look at the menu-as a server I’d expect them to at least know the kind of proteins they have and to not be so monotoned about it. Restaurants are mainly about customer service, and the server seemed annoyed and bothered, which makes the “dine in” experience tone down A LOT. my boyfriend had to use the restroom and sent me a picture of what it looked like, to use the restroom you have to put toilet paper in a TRASHCAN. If you want to open a restaurant, at least have a working toilet and not be unsanitary and make customers throw it in a trash can.(at least there were two separate ones) lastly when we got the food, I ordered see ew. It tasted okay, the chicken tasted like chicken and was kindve bland, the noodles were grey colored and did not look appetizing, all the food was seasoned but obviously did not look right. (I’ve had see ew before and it does not look like that.) Overall would not go here again as a “small little date night”if the menu states at the bottom, “NO REFUND, NO TURN, NO TALK” If you want good authentic foods, make sure they aren’t using pictures from google because they do not look the same in...

As someone who does not eat to live but instead I live to eat, I will say if you are a local and you haven't gone--ORDER NOW! The food was top notch! I can't imagine they have high profit margins because they are using high quality ingredients. They used King Oyster Mushrooms in their Tom Kha soup! Above expectations for sure! If you like a place with more than FAIR PRICES, HIGH QUALITY ingredients, DELICIOUS food, GOOD PORTIONS, and QUICK service--then run don't walk to order at this little local family owned joint. Also--it is not at all too spicy. The food was complex, rich in flavor, and well balanced, but not at all spicy. If you do like it spicy, they will accommodate and add some heat to your meal. But don't be put off by the fact that Thai food tends to be spicy. They keep the richness of the Thai cuisine but cater to the American spice tolerance. Needless to say--ask for it spicy if you want it that way! They will say yes and make it just right for your capsaisin preference!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. If you are a local--there is no reason why you shouldn't...
