Rhong-tiam Thai Cuisine - Plainsboro

I was really disappointed with my experience. We ordered Pad Thai, grilled curry duck, and spicy calamari, but the food was uninspiring and bland. The duck was tough and unappetizing. The only reason I’m giving it two stars is that the curry soup had a decent flavor. The Pad Thai was particularly disappointing, and while the calamari had an acceptable texture, it was overly spicy and not enjoyable.

I ordered the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, but I was disappointed with both. The Pad Thai noodles were soggy and contained very little chicken. The Drunken Noodles were also soggy and had a strong cilantro flavor, which was not mentioned in the description. I personally find cilantro tastes like soap, so that overwhelmed the dish for me, even after I tried to remove it. Additionally, both dishes had an unusual bitter taste to the noodles.

My husband already left a glowing review, but I wanted to add my thoughts too. This was the best Thai food I've ever had, and I've tried plenty! Our server was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely return; we have a tradition of celebrating Thai birthdays. I already know where we'll be going next year and in the years to come. My birthday is in March, so unfortunately, we can't go back until then, haha! We live more than 30 minutes away, but we plan to come back before then—hopefully many times!

This place is amazing. The dumplings and Thai Shumai were top notches and fresh. The Tom-Yum soup has a beautiful spices. The Pad Kee mao was the most tasteful my wife and I had ever ordered in our 50 years.i had the Thai chili chicken extra sharp was amazing, the spicy level was high for me as I like it. We will definitely be back....often

Even though we haven't dined inside the restaurant, we have been using their takeout services many times. The food is consistently good, the menu choices are sufficient, the preparation is fine, and the prices are more or less budget-friendly. We would specifically like to mention the restaurant's Spicy Beef Salad, Rhong-Tiam Dumplings (steamed or pan-fried, with chicken, shrimp, and cabbage, served with homemade ginger vinaigrette), and Grilled Duck Curry (charcoal grilled duck, bell peppers, eggplant, pineapples, tomatoes, bamboo shoots and basil in homemade red curry). The menu also offers several soup choices, and various fried rice and noodle dishes as well as different curries, chicken, beef and seafood dishes. The dining area is quite spacious and the service friendly and efficient. Last but not least important is the fact that Rhong Tiam is basically the only one dedicated Thai restaurant in the area, after the Thai restaurant located in Hamilton, in Foxmoor Shopping Center went out of business several years ago.
