Absolute Thai — Restaurant in Monroe Township

If you want a filling, delicious, flavorful, authentic Thai meal that you will talk about for daysssss after you've eaten it, then this is the place for you! We have been searching for a good local Thai place for a very long time now. After reading other reviews, we decided to try Absolute Thai last night. Hands down a great decision! We ordered the shrimp and chicken dumplings, chicken satay, drunken noodles with chicken (spicy) and thai basil fried rice with chicken. WOW!! This was some of the BEST Thai food we have ever had. We've tried many Thai restaurants in NYC, NJ and PA, and were extremely impressed by Absolute Thai's flavor profile, quality, quantity and menu options. It was the kind of dinner that we woke up the next morning still talking about...!

The shrimp and chicken dumplings were hot, steamed wonton skins filled with ground shrimp and chicken. These were a good appetizer, not mushy or too soft at all and the filling was hefty for an appetizer. We inhaled them so fast! The dumpling soy sauce had a sweet and salty flavor. The chicken satay were large pieces (5 to an order) and the peanut sauce that came with it was absolutely delicious, we wanted to drink it. Many places we've tried usually have small portions for their appetizers, but this was not the case here. The pieces of chicken were big, grilled and flavored really well. The Drunken noodles OMG. You will not be disappointed. The sauces the chef used in this dish are the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, salty and delicious. The noodles were big, the carrots, bell pepper, green beans were fresh, with enough bite to them and the dinner portion was enough to fill a hungry belly. We ordered the drunken noodles spicy and YES- it was exactly the way we wanted it- the spice level was PERFECT, you could feel the spice for sure and it was enough heat to keep you wanting more. The thai basil fried rice had such a great flavor with egg, garlic, onion, fresh crispy vegetables like carrots and green beans. This experience was a sensory explosion: the look of the fresh noodles and crisp colorful vegetables, the aroma of the spice, thai basil and sauces, the unique flavor of each dish.

Note: If you are not used to spicy food, make sure you choose the right level of heat: no spice, mild, medium, spicy and Thai spicy are the options on their website. Plus you can add vegetables or extra protein to almost every dish: chicken, tofu, beef, shrimp, crispy pork, crispy duck, whole red snapper.

This is also the kind of restaurant where the price of the food (which is priced well to begin with) actually matches the quality and quantity. And that makes us very happy =) The staff were so friendly over the phone when we placed our order and in person when we picked it up. The food was ready right on time. They are all wearing masks and have plexiglass screens at the counters. We can't wait to come back and try the other options on their menu. We agreed that we are definitely going to be...

What an elegant response from a Restaurant owner. Waive that FLAG. To reiterate the wings where LEFT OVER FROM THE DAY BEFORE and only one wing was fresh. End of story. The DIM SUM was uneatable (I was being nice the 1st time around.

And all you are is SAD. BOY is your head inflated......I changed my rating.

I didn't want to go lower because I do like this place. My daughter is a frequent buyer here.

Unfortunately, our appetizer's last knight where HORRIBLE PERIOD.

The WING's looked like they where cooked 2 days ago, you know that over tough crusty feel and taste. 1 wing was fresh and noticeably cooked correctly. I suppose you mix in the old with the new and reduce cost.

The SHRIMP & CHECKEN DUMPLING's - these are not DUMPLING's they are frozen Chinese DIM-SUM. Cold as well.

Then to the Piece of Resistance - Our favorite SHRIMP ROLL's - I didn't know they made shrimp so small. They looked so uniformed like little soldiers. Evidently another PRE-MADE item.

I live about 20 minutes from here so my wife called 10 minutes after I left. She immediately called and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I was there within 10 minutes and the food was ready. ?? I guess using pre-made appetizers save's time.

Fortunately, the main dishes where ok.

I was given a New Menu, after dinner I threw it away and knowing myself, will never walk into this...

We were very fortunate to have sampled a number of Absolute Thai's dishes prior to their opening later this month. Our party had the following:

Absolute Rolls Wings Absolute Salad w/ Roasted Sesame Dressing Sweet and Sour Crispy Duck Beef Thai Fried Rice Chicken Tom Yum Fried Rice Spaghetti Kee-Mao Steamed Jasmine Rice Thai Iced Tea

Every dish was perfectly done. All of the ingredients were fresh and the sauces and dressings were perfect complements. If I had to choose my top 3 from our selection, it would be the Wings, Sweet & Sour Crispy Duck and the Spaghetti Kee-Mao. That is not a negative on any of the other items as it was difficult to choose my top 3 from such a flavorful selection.

The restaurant is warm and well-appointed with gold and dark wood throughout. The layout is airy and spacious and the restrooms are clean and tidy. The restaurant is only doing takeout and delivery until indoor dining conditions improve at a later date. Call for current available options.

It's so nice to have an excellent Thai restaurant option in the area. June, the owner, is very friendly & outgoing. She has many years of successful Thai restaurant operations and cooking experience. She is also well-known in the area and you will find her and her family to be warm and friendly.

Can't wait until our next visit to try more of...
