I was in the area and decided to try out River Thai Cuisine. The restaurant was pretty quiet and had friendly staff. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai (pictured below) and the Tom Yum soup. Both items came out within 10 min of ordering and were delicious; I particular liked the level of spice of the pad Thai (4/5). Definitely worth another visit.

The Thai basil noodles are great here! In the years I've been coming here I've never had a dish I didn't like.

Solid food. Prices a little high. I ordered the pad thai shrimp, asked for XL portion. The portion I received is smaller than what I get for lunch at my favorite Thai place a few towns over. There was no heat level, as far as spice goes. I also ordered the summer roll. For almost $9, I got three rolls with one medium sized shrimp in each. $9 for 3 shrimp is a bit ridiculous. The flavors were good. The food was fresh. I've previously had their green curry, which is great. But I spent $25 on lunch and wasn't as full as if I spent $15 at my favorite Thai place. Place is takeout only. No in-house delivery, either. Only thru third-party apps. There is a public parking lot (metered parking) right behind the restaurant.

Long time customer, this is by far the best place to have thai food. To all east brunswick, south river, sayreville, old bridge folks, come and visit this wonderful place. No dine in available, just great food. You will not be disappointed.

The best thai food! I highly recommended the papaya salad, the duck tamarind, sweet n sour chicken with shrimp, beef sate, Kathy's Chicken special with mystical sauce and of course you have to get a Thai Ice Tea! The people who own and operate this place are so kind. Please do them and yourselves a favor and try them out! You will not be disappointed.

I'm partial to all Thai-food locations, so the food is just outrageously good. So in trying to find the item that sets this location apart from other Thai restaurants, NEW JERSEYS BEST THAI ICED-TEA.

Edit** UPDATE 11/12/22 I just felt like I needed to throw in an update after all that's happened in the world. I've been a regular patron of River Thai for over a decade now and I still love it just as much as ever. During the pandemic, it was comforting to know I could still get my favorite food. The food is always hot and delicious whether you dine-in or take-out. The added benefit of DoorDash/GrubHub helps on the days I can't get there personally. And of course the staff is as lovely and wonderful as ever. If you've never tried Thai, make this your first adventure. You will not regret it. If you're a Thai food veteran, than do yourself a favor and stop in. It's still by FAR my favorite Thai place and the only one I'll go to. Original review: First place I tried Thai and it’s still my favorite. They have extremely friendly employees, big portions, and the food itself is just amazing. It’s always a good time for River Thai. Unfortunately, like many Thai restaurants, they are closed on Mondays So sometimes I think ahead and order on Sunday so I have it on Monday. It’s that good!

Love this place! Service is always great, BYOB, and everything I have tried has been delish!! Appetizers chicken satay and steamed chicken and shrimp dumplings.

Unfortunately the food was so bad we left. The waitress was very nice

So I tried a few different things from this restaurant and figured they're not great but it's okay they're not horrible. So I tried to call amari which didn't have any real taste to it other than fried crust that my kids said it tastes like chicken LOL. The wings that I got were actually really good. The dumplings I can go without them my daughter says she prefers the ones from the Chinese restaurant better the flavor is better. And finally the entree I purchased with shrimp again it was okay wasn't that flavorful, the shrimp still had their ends on them but overall I think it was just the lack of a mixture of flavors for me if I compare it to other Thai places that I've been to. Again it's far from a horrible place but they can do better.

The BEST Thai food around! I’ve never had a bad meal here and I’ve been coming for around five years! The staff is wonderful and so kind and helpful. My favorite Thai restaurant around, I recommend it to everyone!

Excellent; spices, flavors; all the dishes. Superb !

First time trying this restaurant, honestly fresh, clean, flavorful food. Recommend the Siam Chicken dish.

Horrible food. Tom yom soup reeked...we ordered Tom yom soup, chicken and beef in ginger garlic sauce, Penang curry with chicken and pad Thai. Only thing that was edible was Pad Thai. All other items we horrible... Worst Thai food experience ever...Got deceived by the high rating...

We showed up and didn’t realize how close to closing they were. Asked if we could eat in, and they said YES! I’m so glad they did. The food was awesome and the staff friendly. A must go to for Thai food. 10 STARS ⭐️

Very skimpy portions! Bad value. It was a very forgettable lunch. We ordered three dishes. Shrimp Pad Thai, Red Curry, Pad Ma Muang. I can't believe the Shrimp Pad Thai had only 3-4 shrimps! Will not visit this place again. There are much better quality and quantity options.
