Pho Thai Lao - Maywood

I ordered from door dash with heavy prayers that this food would be good and what a waste of money! I ordered veggie fried dumplings that looked burnt and came with this red sweet sauce that looked weird and tasted funny the spring rolls were ok but also had a strange dipping sauce that I’ve never had at any Thai restaurant before. The veggie Thai basil was ok but the rice was over cooked/mushy and my lychee drink was completely sour!!! I’m absolutely pissed that I spent $45 on this “food” shame on them for allowing this to leave their kitchen for human consumption Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2

Great food here, best Thai in Maywood/Hackensack. They definitely know how to spice it up if you request. Yellow curry or red curry dishes excellent, and the Pad Thai is also great. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Vegetarian options: The yellow or red curry dishes are awesome. My wife really enjoys these when looking for vegetarian options Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Pad Thai, Red Curry Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings: Vegetarian menu or section

So honestly the food is really good. The red curry I ordered I specified as spicy. It is honestly probably the best red curry I’ve had. The chicken and shrimp dumplings were delicious too. The restaurant is uncomfortable, they had no AC in late August, poorly lit, and customers were sitting in booths with their feet on the booty. I realize that isn’t directly the restaurants fault but people need to realize it’s not their living room. The quality and taste of the good honestly makes up for how much of a hole in the wall this spot is. I’d recommend doing take out.
