“ To me, Thai food is like Chinese takeout. There are restaurants everywhere, but it's difficult to find a place that does it exceptionally well. On a night when my husband and I found ourselves craving some Thai food, we took a chance on the Yelp algorithm of suggestions and landed at the Thai Shack's door. The weekday lunch special is a great deal. A light salad and spring roll are served with some preselected entrees, and it's here I have to give the peanut dressing some hearty props. I don't know what they put in that sauce, but it was all I could do to keep myself from licking that little bowl clean. For our entrees, we both went with noodles. I was initially disappointed that the serving size seemed smaller than expected, but don't let the plate fool you - it's enough. At least, it was for me because I felt full well before I reached the bottom. My beef pad see ew was incredible, with tender pieces of beef and a delectable sauce that made me want to spoon it over rice. My husband also liked his pad thai, with lots of soft chicken pieces. If we had any compunctions with our meal, it was that our noodles were a little heavily sauced and teetering just slightly on the salty side. Service here is friendly. That, along with the cozily dressed interior, makes dining in a pleasure. I was especially appreciative that water glasses are filled from water bottles instead of tap (say what you want about food in Jersey, but the taste of its unfiltered tap water is absolute trash). The kind woman who took our order was open to small customizations (such as undressed salad and added spice in my pad see ew, which is normally presented as a non-spicy dish). ”

“ Eating a meal at Thai Shack is like eating a home-cooked meal from your mother or grandmother... made with love! I've been coming here occasionally since 2019. It's a small hole in the wall business located on Teaneck's Cedar Lane. There are only four tables inside, so it's more for take-out. Everything is reasonably priced, so you can get a delicious meal with big portions for a great value. My favorite dishes are any of the noodle and curry entrees. Recently, I was craving Thai food and stopped by for an early dinner. I was originally going to take my food to go, but I decided to eat in. I'm so happy I did because I finally got to meet and chat with Ting, the owner! AND GOSHHHH SHE IS SUCH A SWEET WOMAN. Very warm and inviting. She checked in on me throughout my meal. I ordered... *Pad See Ew with chicken (~$14) - One of my favorite Thai noodles dishes! It's stir-fried wide rice noodles with a sweet and savory flavor. The soy and oyster sauce gives it most of the flavor. My only complaint is that I wish there was more chicken in it. *Tom Yum Koong with shrimp (~$7) - This is a spicy herb soup with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, and mushroom. I requested the spice level to be mild and it still had the perfect kick. The broth was also tangy, which I loved. I wish there was more shrimp though - there was only one piece and too many mushrooms. And to finish off, I ALWAYS sip on a Thai Iced Tea... always always always... and theirs hits the spot every time! ”

“ Pretty bomb thai food! Had the chicken pad see ew and spring rolls and did not disappoint. My friends had the pad kee mao and pad thai with curry puffs and raved about it as well. ”

“ Happened to find this spot through DoorDash and they delivered what was the best green chicken curry I've ever had! There was just something about it that is different than any other place I've had it at. Spring rolls were delicious too. Will definitely be ordering more from here. ”

“ I was in the mood for some Massaman curry, shrimp rolls, chicken satay and possibly some sticky rice in mango. I decided to hit up Thai Shack for these necessities. The Curry was rich and moderately spicy, as I requested, "medium spice level." There were big pieces of potato and a reasonable amount of chicken in the dish. The satay and shrimp rolls were also, equally good. Last was the sticky rice and mango, which was sweet and delicious! All in all, a great dinner spot. ”

“ Best Thai food that we have found in Northern New Jersey thus far. It's a small place with two tables, so mostly a take out place. That being said, we get take out from here all the time. We've tried many other Thai places in Northern Jersey, and this one can't be beat. Pad Thai is surprisingly hard to make. If you have too much of one sauce or another, it can be too sweet, or too salty, or too fishy. This place's Pad Thai is none of these. It's excellent. The pad see ew is also great (i.e. not too salty from soy sauce), as is the crab fried rice, the curry puffs, the shrimp rolls. It's also cheap. We got two trays of Pad Thai to cater a small event, as well as a bunch of our usual favorites, for a little over $100. ”

“ Good amount of serving food. Priced at average. Taste good. I'll go back there again! ”

“ My favorite Thai place that I have in NJ! Second overall after pye boat noodle in queens though this place does have coconut juice and two dessert options and pye doesn't. I love the curries- panang, red, and green curry. I also love the Pad Kee Mao and pad Thai! Oh and i love their coconut juice! I wish they had coconut pudding though. Their pumpkin custard is pretty good if you like that kind of dessert. Another plus is that they have bubble tea! Good for dine in or delivery. ”

“ This place is really good!! It's been so hard to find a Thai spot that actually makes authentic Thai food. I ordered the drunken noodles and i knew from the moment i opened the container and smelled the spice i knew i had finally found my go to spot. It was incredible! Flavor was on point and they give good portions. Second time i went i got the pineapple fried rice which i was not a huge fan of , however it was still tasty. It wasn't really the traditional pineapple fried rice I'm use to. It had a lot of curry powder like make someone accidentally added too much. It was very overwhelming. My fiancé ordered the thai fried rice and that was really good! Oh and we ordered spring rolls too which were okay. I know there's better out there but for the area and the price this place isn't bad i would definitely go back. ”
