“ Delicious food, great service.. try the drunken noodle, chicken potstickers, tom yum soup, and peanut chicken. The chicken dumpling had a totally handmade and homemade feel. I loved the thai iced tea too ”
“ The best Thai food in the area. The owner was very kind. I got pickup but I needed to add to the order and it was made in 5 minutes! Cute little sitting area inside. ”
“ Thai Cookery is one of the best tasting Thai restaurants in Bergen County. The restaurant has a wide selection of food to choose from. This time around we decided to keep it simple, so we decided to go with the Green Curry and Drunken Noodle. Both our dishes were delicious and full of flavor. We will definitely come back and look forward to trying some of the Chef’s Specials. Special Thanks to the Owner and the Chef, we had a wonderful dining experience :) ”
“ We’ve gone to like almost every Thai restaurant in the area AND in NYC AND in actual Thailand. This is one of the best. I actually no longer have to drive out to the city for good real Thai food because this place nailed it. The Khao soi, pad se ew and green curry’s are incredible and the appetizers too! Even the burgers LOL. We catered them for our party as well and our guests were raving about it! Also the people working there are so kind Thank you Tora!! ”
“ Tora and the staff at Thai Cookery are AMAZING! The first time we ordered off grub hub, the driver delivered the wrong order. Not only did grubhub refund my money, but Tora reached out to me personally to make things right, providing us with our order at a later date completely on the house :) The food is also excellent and full of flavors that make me keep coming back for more. ”
“ Wowwww!!! We ate there and they treated us like family. What a nice family and wonderful service. We ordered dirty beef sliders, spring rolls, super spicy green curry chicken, coconut soup and garlic chicken rice bowl. Amazing! All the dishes were top notch. It smelled great outside and inside and we were not disappointed. Definitely my new spot. Try it out and it will be yours too. ”
“ I've decided to move away from eating the standard Chinese takeout and instead go with Thai-styled restaurants. I'm so happy I found this place. Very warm and friendly owners, and even the cooks in the back make an effort to engage with you. The food was great and has me wanting to go very often so I can try more things on the menu. The prices are a bit higher than other Thai restaurants but I'm OK with paying for quality ingredients. My only criticism is that the Thai Street Bite Size Box should not be the same price as the Beer Box because of the portions/variety. Edited: Second visit, tried a different menu item. Just a great as the first. Also, the owner let me know that there are additional seasonal menu items on the website that aren't on the paper menu. Great to know! ”
“ Phenomenal. The Staff was so warm and welcoming. We brought our 8 month old and the staff kindly brought out sliced mangos for her to eat while we feasted. The chicken wings were to die for. Perfectly crunchy with a vibrant flavorful experience for the tastebuds. The drunken noodles and pad Thai were the best we’ve ever had. Fresh, tasty, and felt nostalgic. We enjoyed every bite and will be back soon to eventually try everything on the menu! ”
