Savory Thai - Branchburg

"Strip Mall location where ShopRite is located. Plenty of parking. I had the Pepper & Garlic with beef. It had a nice and tasty sauce but the beef was chewy. I wasn't expecting perfection so I'd probably go here again and give the Drunken Noodles a try."

"This review is on our server. Just being super friendly and chill with an “I gotchu” attitude but no follow through does not a pass. Several items were forgotten and I had to ask again a few items. There were only 3 tables to serve… The very first thing I asked him was “are there actual Thai chefs in the kitchen?” Yes, from Northern Thailand. Great, because I *just* spent 5 months in Northern Thailand so that seems to match. I asked for Thai level spicy on main dish and mild or no spice on fruit salad. He gave us no spice on both… because he said he saw my father’s hesitancy on spice and wanted the table to be happy- that’s why he brought us powdered spice on the side. 1) I already asked for the spice since the beginning and I am the one ordering, 2) my father is in his mid 70’s and hard of hearing/cognitively slower, 3) it’s my mother’s birthday and 2 out of 3 want Thai spicy. It is not up to the server to make such decisions. Look at the photo - there is a world of difference between the two (the spicier version was comped to us at least but sorry it cost the restaurant a loss of $). Lastly, I asked for a Khreuang Puang (Thai Condiment Caddy) that is on nearly every single table in Thailand and is the foundation of Thai cuisine. Please ask the kitchen staff because he did not have to know it at all, I said. Of course the server did not provide this. So… the kitchen does not have sugar, fish sauce, vinegar chili, spice powder — the very things they make our dishes with? Let me state that I regret this mediocre affects the restaurant’s rating based on one server. Their attempt and ambience is clean and food is hearty. Having some “Americanized” flavor is perfectly acceptable for a local business. Anyone working at a culturally specific establishment with all staff of that culture… should allow that culture to be honored and prioritized."

"During my last business trip to Branchburg, New Jersey, I had the pleasure of dining at Savory Thai, a Thai restaurant that left a lasting impression. Lunchtime at this establishment was nothing short of remarkable. I decided to try the Drunken Noodle and Pad Thai, and I must say, they were among the best Thai dishes I've ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a burst of authentic Thai taste. What added to the overall experience was the excellent service provided by the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and made the meal even more enjoyable. Savory Thai in the Branchburg area is undoubtedly a gem when it comes to Thai cuisine. If you're in the mood for delicious and authentic Thai food, this is a place that should not be missed. My dining experience there was exceptional, and I can't wait to visit again during my next business trip."

"I have so many things to say about this place! But to keep it short, the food was amazing, customer service was honestly the best I have experienced anywhere. The customer service is actually probably BETTER than the food and kept me coming back during my work trip in New Jersey. I regret not getting the names of the two male waiters that assisted me and we're so welcoming to me every day. I appreciate them. Their kindness touched me, unbeknownst to them, I was going through a tough time while on my trip due to loss of a family member. I can't wait to visit this place again."
