Food was expertly prepared with a fine attention to the balance of many flavors. My mark for an outstanding chef is one that can utilize the flavors in such a way that you can experience them all individually while enjoying and understanding them as a whole. This food did just that as well as any Thai establishment I've ever been to.
Ingredients were very fresh and the dishes were cooked to proper temperature, retaining heat, juice, and bite.
Service was something you'd expect from a fine establishment and not just a strip mall joint. It not only provided basic needs and courtesy but also was inquisitive, educational, and active in looking for ways to improve the overall experience.
The space is small like one you'd be accustomed to in the middle of a city but neatly decorated and painted to feel bright, warm, and welcoming.
Portions were healthy but not so large as to be overwhelming and reasonably priced with entrees coming in anywhere from $10-16 depending on style and selection of meat. They mentioned weekday lunch portions at $8 as well.
I did not have dessert so I cannot review this aspect but the menu offered a handful of scratch made choices that the family seemed very proud of so consider saving room should you like an after meal treat.
Of note if you're new to Thai food: Don't be afraid to ask questions and don't be afraid of spice levels. They will happily guide you and have a spice rating for all dishes from 1 (almost no heat) to 5 (hot for someone used to this type of cuisine). This rating system is common for this type of establishment and they want very much for you to...
Read moreMy go-to takeout restaurant for Pennsville, usually take advantage of the lunch specials (curries are all fantastic with salad and spring roll, wished they offered a drunken noodle version). Had an opportunity to do trip to Thailand before the pandemic and this is the best restaurant I've found authentic to the taste to Khao San Road in all of South Jersey. And as much as I've attempted to recreate their spicy eggplant recipe in my kitchen, theirs has the perfect amount of heat and my sauce just doesn't have that 'oomf' which Sang Tong brings. I'll continue to support this family-owned small business as long as they keep bringing the heat!
Atmosphere is cute but basic (more like a 5th date place where you're wearing holey socks)- everything else 5 stars!
Dishes on the fav list: *Apps - garden rolls, chicken satay Soups - Tom Yum (with a sizeable shrimp upgrade) Curries - green/yellow/red or panang DRUNKEN NOODLES (medium spice, which is 'hot' to western...
Read moreMy sister travels the world for work and all around the country. She’s been to the best Thai places in NYC and Atlanta. And when she told me this was some of the best Thai food she’s ever had? I had to try it!
Well, I’m happy to say that I quite agree! I used to live in Connecticut and tried pretty much every Thai restaurant in the general area I was in. They don’t even come close to this. I just had here tonight. My God whatever they’re doing in the kitchen, bravo! This was some of the most authentic, well done Thai food I’ve ever tasted. I got the chicken pad Thai, and the soup. My dad got the chicken satay and the dumplings. We split everything. We will definitely be coming back. Thoroughly enjoyed everything! We ordered take out but I can only imagine how much better this tastes fresh.
Thank you for bringing great food to such...
