Clifton Thai

UPDATE Jul 5, 2023 This establishment is easily the best Thai food I've ever had in Clifton. Located off of Parker Avenue, Clifton Thai is a small, cozy restaurant tucked between other stores, but the food inside is top notch, which is why I came for lunch. It is run by a husband and wife team. Upon entering, the interior was decked out for a gender reveal party, which the owners are expecting in December. Congrats, Tony and Jib (pronounced: yeep). Their menu offered all sorts of Thai items that would delight vegans and vegetarians, which they customized based on your preferences. My server was Juan, who was friendly and accommodating. I ordered off of their lunch menu and got the Pad See Ew (Sauteed Flat Rice noodles with Thai Broccoli and Egg In Sweet Soy Sauce) with Thai ice tea. The flavors are bold, and the ingredients are fresh! The quality of the food is consistent, with good sized portions at a very reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I am still very satisfied and will go back and recommend it to others to try. ————————————— Today’s lunch brings us to my favorite family owned Thai establishment outside of Bergen county. I’ve been coming to Clifton Thai located on Parker Avenue for many years and didn’t disappoint. Upon arrival after two years for inside dining at this cozy restaurant, I was greeted and welcomed by one of the owners, Jib. Reservation is highly recommended for dinner and on weekends. The menu features a wide range of Thai dishes with meat or vegetarian options. My server was Juan who’s friendly. As an appetizer, I wanted to try out their Thai Empanadas (potato, chicken, onion , curry powder) with a house dipping sauce. For the main dish, I ordered the lunch special Chicken Pad See Ew (Sautéed Flat Rice Noodles Thai Broccoli Egg In Sweet Soy Sauce) included a soda. The empanadas came out hot and amazingly tasty as the curry wasn’t too strong. The Pad See Ew was flavorful and the right serve portion. Although the place is small, they make it up on the tasty food remaining consistent with the excellent customer service and ambiance. I continue to recommend this place.

Delicious food and good service. The waiter was accommodating and made sure we got whatever is needed. You must try the Thai coffee it’s so good. My first time there I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and the spicy salad and I must say I was satisfied with everything.

I love this place. The Thai dishes are perfectly spiced according to your heat tolerance from O to 10. I’ve eaten here several times and the food is always delicious. I foolishly had the crispy calamari. Not Thai food and not good. Stick to the true Thai food and you can’t go wrong.

Great food! I had the dumplings and fried rice. As an appetizer and the drinking noodles with chicken and extra vegetables! Diet coke and a mango bubble tea! My girl had pad see ew with chicken. Delicious food and great atmosphere! We got there early. 5:00 pm. Seemed to be the best since the place is small and filled up very fast. Gotta try it!

One of a kind Thai restaurant. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. The spices on the side are incredible. Can't wait to come back here.
