Hi-So Thai

I really wanted to hate this place.
I didn’t want this kind of food and it wasn’t my turn to choose.
But if you travel with a lot of talented and fun hungry friends you just have got to flow. Flow yourself down here now, even if you want burgers downtown. Thai food this good with this service at this price is even good when your jet-​lagged wanting breakfast!

Our go-​to Thai spot in town. The owners are lovely and welcoming. Food is very well-​prepared and always comes out steaming hot. I especially love their Tom Yum soup here because they put a ton of veggies in it unlike most other Tom Yum’s I’ve had in town.
I love Thai food and have been eating here for about 5 years. I’ve never had a bad meal.
The crispy fish is amazing. Curries are wonderful. Portion size and price is great.

Duck spring rolls
Green curry w chicken
Red snapper whole fish w Thai spices
Not an inexpensive meal, but overall good. Sauce for spring rolls was a bit too sweet, but I was a huge fan of the spices for the fish. Abundant onions, tomatoes, cilantro, peanuts, and chillies. Green curry had a good amount of heat. Loved that there were a lot of bamboo as I’m a fan of textures in my food.
Take out should always be given utensils! (None were in bag).

We ordered delivery from here to our home in the Heights. We ordered the whole steamed fish, plus a Pad See Ew noodles. The fish came with head and tail on and was cooked to perfection with a sumptuous sauce on the side. The noodles were light, delicious and not greasy. The delivery person was prompt and friendly. In short, a great experience! This hidden gem isn’t on Seamless, but is a really fantastic, fresh Thai option. We will certainly order again!

Apparently a lot of the business goes to the lodgers at the hotels close by and takeouts; so the dining room sparseness should not be a put-​off. Also, the cash only is preferred by me in smaller establishments to avoid skimming risks and other exposures while traveling. This is a place that prides themselves on quality and good food.

Great Thai food! The service was great and the food was delicious. We came here for lunch and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended this place!

This restaurant is amazing. I ordered a delivery to the Sheraton nearby. The food was on my desk in 15 minutes. Big portions, grate food.

Not much to look at but the food was really good. Had the Pad Thai for lunch. Perfect amount of spice and a decent sized portion for $ 8.95. Parking sucks and it is cash only. Despite that, I would still venture back.

I’m a Thai food lover and I came across this restaurant while vacationing in New Jersey. It is within walking distance to the Sheraton Hotel located on Harbour Blvd. Never ate at this restaurant’s physical location, but we did delivery and pick up. The first night I ordered Jungle Chicken Wings, Massaman Curry w/​Chicken and Pad See-​ew with Beef. Everything was really good. Portions were of a good size and my husband made 3 meals out of the Massaman Curry. We had this meal delivery and delivery was very expeditious.
The next time we ordered, my husband walked over and picked up our order which consisted of (2) orders of Sticky Rice and Tamarind Duck. The Sticky Rice was so good and I had some mangos that I cut up and added to it. Unfortunately, the Tamarind Duck was nasty to my taste buds. My husband ate the duck and I the sticky rice.
We ordered again before leaving Jersey and I ordered the Drunken Noodle with Chicken. I don’t know if we got lucky with our first order, but the food quality went downhill. I came to the consensus that this restaurant would be on my list «No Returns». I will give an establishment three opportunities to maintain my business if my first encounter was good. Hi-​So Thai missed the mark with me.

Had steamed chicken dumplings, pineapple fried rice and mango sticky rice. All tasted great up to my taste, yam! Coming back whenever one the area ~

One of the best Thai cuisines ever had! A lillte salty for the curry but the best to serve with rice. Decorations, music and service were also good. Not many people eating inside but there seemed a lot of deliveries and takeout during our stay. I am happy there is such a delicious restaurant nearby.

This is our go to place when we want good fried rice. Every time we order fried rice, you can bet that there’s no leftover. We normally get their Traditional Thai style fried rice with chicken. Delicious!
We also tried various noodle dishes there — Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Noodle with Peanut Sauce, and Cellophane Noodle with chicken. All passable and not recommended. The noodles are mediocre and lacking of flavor and poor texture. If you are looking for Pad Thai, this is not the joint for you.

Thanks to UnilocalER who said not to worry if not crowded as when we arrived there was no one in the restaurant — around 5:30 PM on a Tuesday. We went with it!
Great chicken satay and peanut sauce! Also the crispy vegetable rolls were great.
The massaman curry was very smooth and tasty as was peanut curry. Thai basil chicken also very good.
Thanks again Unilocal as we would be lost without you!

Can’t review the food bcs the delivery driver went to the wrong address and then refused to correct it. When ordering I specifically stated the correct address 4 times to avoid confusion & he still went to the wrong place. They cancelled my order after making me wait 45 minutes!

Best green curry and thai iced tea I’ve ever had.
The flavor was phenomenal and the delivery was so quick. ⁵⁄₅ no question about it.

Was in the area for Halloween party and wanted some food before the party. saw this place on the way and thought why the heck not… so… my friend calls up and says «hi… so… we’d like to place an order for pick up please.» We got shrimp pad thai and curry noodle with with shrimp… the food was okay… not great but not terrible… to start with positive… i had the curry noodle and the sauce had a good flavor, shrimp and veggies were cooked well… but the dish just did not come together. All of the noodles were on the bottom and the shrimp and vegetables basically they threw right on the top… i want to say that the noodles were like 95% of the dish which gives the appearance that you’re getting a lot but you’re actually getting a little… i mean yes its a noodle dish i get it, but i sorta would like all the vegetables and the shrimp to be mixed in so you get a lil noodle, vegetable and shrimp with each bite… and give me more vegetables and a bit more shrimp… the noodle which is essentially high glycemic index and wont really keep me full… so anyways. i’m not coming back here.

Was there last night for the first time. The server was extreamly attentive, our empty plates only sat on our table about 8 seconds before he was cleaning them off. And my water glass was never empty and he didnt foregt that I didnt want ice and never put ice in (thats a very common mistake)
The food was beyond amazing. And i lived in Thailand eating thai food for a while.
I got the panang chicken curry. It was the perfect amount of spicy. And soo good. My friend Paul got shrimp fried rice and loved it and the honey lemonade. And on top of the straw was the straw wrapper pulled back so you know they didn’t touch the part you would put in your mouth, and they made it into a flower.
I would come back to eat here any time im in the area. Fresh ingredients and a nice quiet corner.
Id post pictures of the food but it looked so good I ate it. Ill post the flower.

Came here on a cold rainy/​snowy night. It was warm inside and super close to home.
We ordered the green papaya salad, and pad see yew and a curry coconut dish. Everything was good, the papaya salad was so flavorful. The pad see yew was cooked well and the coconuts dish also had great flavor but the potatoes were a bit undercooked.
They only take cash, which kinda sucks but there is a BOA across the street from the restaurant. It’s a drive thru location but you can just walk thru it.
There is no parking available but you can find street parking. It’s a weird location and doesn’t seem like there is a lot going on in the area but definitely stop in and check this place out.

Having recently moved to West New York, I find this area to be a bit of a gastronomical desert, so I’ve very excited to have found a solid Thai place that delivers and is easy to eat at despite having no parking lot! Parking was easily found behind the restaurant.
We had lunch on Sunday and the place was empty save for another couple.
Tried:
— Tom yum soup. Good. Slightly sweet. Big, plump shrimp with lots of veggies (the clean kind, not the kind you avoid eating from Asian restaurants).
— Papaya salad. Also very good. The portion is pretty good so I took the rest home. It gets very watery so drain first!
— Massaman curry. Also good. Not sure if it comes with rice but we had ordered a side of sticky rice to eat separately and had to order a rice for this.
— Pad see ewe. Had the beef. It was very good and as someone else mentioned, had a bit of char which I think is necessary.
Service was great. I will definitely be coming back and will be testing out their delivery one of these days. The interior is decorated and spacious. You do see a lot of cars whizzing by due to their location.
And yes, it’s cash only, which sucks, but there is an ATM nearby if you need it.

I lived in Hoboken for 10 years and would pass by So Thai daily coming home from work on the 126 constantly saying I should try it. Now that I moved out and into northern New Jersey, I’m really disappointed. Not for the fact that I finally tried it, but the simple and stupid reason I never tried it before. This is better than any Thai in Hoboken, Hudson or Bergen county… hands down!
I had the fried tofu and red curry shrimp, and both were cooked to perfection. I’m not a tofu guy, but I decided to try it, and it was excellent. The red curry shrimp was the best I have ever had. The shrimp was soft and cooked just right and the sause… oh the sause.
I have a couple of complaints that are easily fixed:
1. Front door was open for the first 15 minutes and the tunnel traffic rang throughout the place. Just close the door when guests come. Note that we were the only ones eating here from 6 – 7 on a Tuesday night.
2. They don’t take credit cards. I’m not a fan of cash only restaurants. It makes me wonder what’s going on in the kitchen when a place is worried about three percent of a margin. Up the prices and take credit. This would help boom your delivery food business.
