They use a tremendous amount of MSG and will lie and say they do not but if you are sensitive you will immediately feel a migraine come on. Avoid at all costs.

If you are sensitive to MSG, stay far far away from this place. They will lie and say that they do not use it but if you have an allergy you will be out immediately after consuming even a small portion of their food.

Curry Puffs are delicate, perfectly spiced, and flaky as hell! Follow it up with the creamy Tom ka soup and you will not be disappointed. Perfect for the cold weather.

When Rice Box closed I legitimately thought I would be sad forever. But then Spice Thai Bistro came along to heal my broken heart and fill my belly and soul with the best Thai food in NJ. Despite the small location, they pack big flavor into each dish. The Pad Thai and the grilled pork skewers are my personal favorites. The staff are all absolutely wonderful. Seeing Eddie is usually the highlight of my day! This might just be my favorite restaurant of all time, and a big part of that is because it's so evident that every dish is made thoughtfully with love and care every single time.

I tried another Thai Restaurant when visiting Jersey before but it didn't leave much of an impression so I left no review. Stumbled on Spicy Thai Bistro and ordering my go to dish (pad see ew) which did not disappoint. A very casual eatery, no need for reservations. Opted for the shrimp in my order and devoured the entire meal even though the plan was to leave left overs for tomorrow....so much for that idea lol. You can opt for chicken, beef, duck, vegetarian, tofu, etc. in this dish. I look forward to working my way through the menu and can't wait to order the Tom Yum Soup which my favorite Thai soup. Having travelled to Thailand and ordered the same dish when visiting abroad I was pleasantly surprised that this order was just as good. The brown sauce was lovely and aromatic, shrimp cooked to perfection while the Asian broccoli was perfectly al dente. It's no wonder why Spicy Thai has a 4.9 rating......I give it a 5.0 based on my meal.

Green curry was as good as ever, as was the pad thai. The mango stickyrice was especially good! I'd come here just for that!
I've been terribly disappointed with Thai food in this part of New Jersey. Plenty of Thai restaurants but either the flavors are off, the food tastes old, the fish tastes fishy (not in a good way)...Not so with Spice Thai. This is the first time I tried them. Tom Yum was great, spicy the way I like it but maybe a touch sweet. Papaya salad was nice and crisp. I ordered the Red Snapper Gra Pao (Thai Basil- 'spicy') from the Duck & Fish menu- excellent! Thick fillet smothered in spicy sauce and vegetables. Fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Spice level was perfect for me which might be a bit too much for others. My wife and daughter really enjoyed their dishes too. My wife who avoids spice ordered the Pra Ram 'not spicy' and loved it. My daughter enjoyed the Pad Thai mildly spicey with mock duck and extra vegetables. The point here is that this restaurant offers 6 different spice levels and so can satisfy the taste of anyone who likes Thai food. The restaurant is small but looks inviting. We did takeout this time but next time maybe we'll eat there.The only downside was that I picked up the food alone and had to find parking in the muni lot on a Saturday night. Not easy to find a spot so people are driving desperately to find one and going a little too fast... be careful walking back with your order. I hour minimum and you have to pay a buck. The restaurant is by a no parking zone on Monmouth St. so if picking up, I recommend 2 people go- one to drive and one to go into the restaurant and get the food.

The Pad Thai was awful. Thin rice noodles with a tiny bit of peanut powder and not a vegetable in sight other than 2 brown pieces of scallion. Very few small shrimp. I can't speak to the rest of the menu.

Little spot that packs some big flavors. I went with my girlfriend and we started off with a curry with pita that was delicious, the pita was warm and fluffy. I forget the name of my dish but had sauteed vegetables with pineapple and was very flavorful. Best of all was they had an imitation duck option! Perfect for anyone avoiding meat. Would definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Definitely several vegetarian options

Thai at its best. I had the drunken noodles and requested it with half chicken and half veggies. “No problem!” It was fantastic. The best I’ve had in the area. Definitely 5 for food and service! I gave it a five for atmosphere, but it’s more like a 4.7. it’s small so there’s not much to it. But I do like the orchids on the ceiling.
