I like this place for lunch. Â I always get the tofu with red curry & brown rice or the drunken noodle. Â The food comes out quickly and the waitstaff is nice. Â They have done what they can as far a decor in the dining room - its kind of weird how you have to walk down an indoor alley to get to it, but hey! Â I have eaten in far stranger places in Thailand, so a little weird on the side is OK with me.
Review Source:They give us RAW PORK when we dined there three nights ago. Â I am still so grossed out by it. Â Their fried fish is also a major disappointment. Â Overcooked fish with not too much flavor. Â
I also can't believe that they still charge us for the pork (they did give us a different dish) and also discount whatsoever. Â I call that poor management and poor service.
Good, not great, thai food. Â Filling and pretty good flavors. Â large portions, but I wasnt expecting anything different. Â Good drunken noodles, and the vegetarian dishes are okay. Â The place itself is pretty cool inside - running a fine line between tacky and eccentric. Â The art and the tablecloths and the interior styling as a whole is pretty...interesting? Â Okay thai food at a reasonable price.
Review Source:In my quest to sample every Thai place within 20 minutes' driving distance, I hit Summit Thai last week, and it was.... just okay.
The food was average.  Not the worst Thai food I've had in the area but definitely not the best (Siam House in Scotch Plains takes that honor).  The other problem is that since it's in Summit, prices for the same dishes are significantly higher.  It's at the high-end of  "$$ - Moderate" on the Yelp scale.
On the plus side, with the Summit location also comes more updated and generally fancier decor than most Thai restaurants. Â It's still a BYO, though, so you can enjoy the swanky atmosphere with a nice bottle of wine and not break the bank.
A reliable upmarket place to go if you're looking for that kind of thing but better food options can be had elsewhere, and for less money.
I have come to Summit Thai twice because I live in Summit and it is local, therefore convenient. The food is mediocre and the service is lacking. I didn't enjoy the first visit because I thought the food was overpriced, quality was not so good, and my mother asked for her dish to be extremely mild and it was so spicy she couldn't eat it. I gave it a bite (usually I am fine with medium spice level and it was even too spicy for me). We asked them to fix it but it came back watered down, bland and tasteless. Oh yeah, and my thai iced tea was so 'over iced' that it was gone in 2 sips. That was the first time.
I didn't want to go back, but we decided to give it one more try (a year later or so).
Second time: My boyfriend liked his drunken noodles but said they weren't the best he has eaten. The rice portions are tiny and you have to pay for extra rice. Our service was awful, every plate was left on the table. I think the waitress was new so we can't be too harsh on her because her English was rough. However- the 'regular' staff that is there all of the time, they were helping/teaching her to wait tables and were doing a lousy job. They could have stepped in and taken away the empty appetizer plates covering the table, but they didn't.
They took away everyone's plates before I finished, and as I was picking away at the pineapple chunks in my dish, they asked about dessert. (and that wasn't the new waitress, that was one of the regular staff). My duck dish was chewy. The only thing I liked was the pineapple in it. The duck was barely palatable. I ***rarely*** ever leave a plate and don't wrap it up 'to go' when I don't finish, but this one- I didn't wrap up.
Chicken satay was cold and smelled bad..like old socks.
Calamari completely lacked salt, pepper, or any flavor. If it wasn't for the dipping sauce, I wouldn't have been able to eat them. Dipping sauce helped.
Drunken noodles- pretty decent
vegetarian curry- also liked by the person that got it
duck with pineapple curry- not good at all, duck meat was bad, and made my stomach hurt afterwards
Overall we decided not to come here again. It's not horrible, and some dishes were 'ok', even liked. It's just not worth going back.
3 stars for the quality of the food.
2 stars because the portions are sooo small. Like Gerber baby sized portions. Seriously. I got my container of Drunken Noodle to-go ($12.50) and they filled it slightly over the half the container.
All the Thai places I've been to in Boston/NYC are $2.00 less and double the portion size. Plus my Drunken Noodle dish had barely any spice to it.
I would only use this place as a last resort. Not worth the price.
My husband decided to order Thai food for our lunch. We both had Pad Ke Mao (drunken noodles) I had beef with 3 stars of heat and my husband had shrimp with the highest heat. I was extremely disappointed with my lunch. I was starting to feel sick that I was not able to finish my meal. Is the sauce suppose to me watery? It had a weird taste and smell to it. It was like they didn't cook it from scratch but got the sauce from a jar that's been sitting on a self for a very long time. My husband's lunch was a lot better then mine. I will not order this again but will try the curry next time. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
Review Source:I would not go to this restaurant again. Food is not tasty, small portions, big prices. Â $125 for 4 of us.
Nice dining room, but a bit cramped as 4 of us were seated around a small square table. Â Food came quickly but was not good, so we were out of there in under an hour. Â
Spring roll appetizers (4 to an order) were delicious but small, and came with a pineapple sauce. Â Calamari was good but the Thailand Restaurant in Clark is better. Â Coconut milk soup "Tom Kha" came in a very small bowl and was very tart. Â
I do not recommend ordering beef  there.  The Beef with Fresh Garlic and the beef in the Drunken Noodles is very tough.  We couldn't eat it.  I asked for mild Drunken Noodles and got spicy instead. Â
The duck special was tasty. Â The Salmon Cha Cha Cha was a bit fishy but the sauce was delicious, similar to hot and sour sauce in Chinese cooking.
Honestly, after eating at so many great Thai places back in CA, I have very high expectations, and the food really didn't satisfy any of it. The place is clean and nice and the pricing is very good. Unfortunately, the food just didn't have the bright and vibrant flavors I'm used to seeing at Thai places back here (Panvimarn in Long Beach is the best example). We tried various curries, the Basil Chicken, the Papaya Salad and the Pad Thai. All were bland and underwhelming.
My meal, called the Red Devil with Basil, was no where near spicy enough, even after asking for 3 out of 4 on their spice scale. It just looked like they threw a bunch of chili sauce on top of the chicken, which only made the meal saltier, not hotter. There was no taste of basil and the chicken was just okay. I think this place can do a much better job of using chilies in the dishes to achieve the higher spice levels, not increased levels of chili sauce.
I know this place means well, and the value here is good. But the quality and taste of food is no where near what I expect from a Thai restaurant.
I work in the area and have had take out here for lunch many many times. I have not yet had the pleasure to dine in but from my experience the service is always fast and friendly and the food is always on point. There have been weeks where my co workers and I have had take out here several times in the same week. If you are in the mood for Thai food you can not go wrong at Summit Thai. I suggest the Drunken Noodles with Fried Dumplings.
Review Source:The only on point item we had was the Thai Iced Tea. Â It's supposed to be super sweet!
Went for dinner and ordered our typical fare of Pad Thai and Red Curry with Beef. Both were only mediocre and definitely lacking in spice and taste. Â Not sure how the ratings on here are so high... Â
Not awesome, not even good enough to get my Thai fix.
Will not return.
Small restaurant that's tucked away a bit. Went for dinner with two friends and we found we had to speak in hushed tones to avoid disturbing the other diners. Food was solid but not mind blowing, my pad see ewe could have been warmer. Their Thai tea runs on the sweet side. Would consider possibly returning for lunch here, but overall, i'm ambivalent about this place.
Review Source:Since there was a deal offered, I decided to try takeout.  Ordered Muck Prik Pow (squid) and Brownish Cashew nuts.  Boy were we disappointed!! When we opened the containers, both were only half filled.  The squid wasnt spicy at all and with the way egg was added in, looked like someone puked into it.  Taste was so-so.  The other dish was ordered with pork, which was sooooo overcooked.  It looked like they  added whatever vegetables they had available.  And the cashews were so mushy, and no ginko nuts at all.
I agree with some of the other reviews, this was in no way authentic Thai food. Â If I had paid full price, I would be really pissed now. Â Much better thai places in Morristown and Bridgewater area.
I ordered basil rice which the  menu states comes with fried rice however my dish came with regular rice.  When I sent it back the owner came back and repeatedly yelled at me until he realized his mistake. He never apologized and treated me as if I did something wrong. The food was mediocre at best.
Review Source:Got some take out from here one Saturday night a few weeks ago. We ordered the basics: Tom Ka Gai, Beef Salad, Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, etc.
It was okay, nothing out of this world. Although sometimes take-out food suffers from travel, the flavors just weren't sharp enough. It didn't seem authentically Thai to me. Â I guess if you live nearby, it's good for a fix.
Being that my usual Thai spots are in New York City, I was not expecting a good one in Summit, New Jersey. And you might even miss this place if you don't look carefully, since the main entrance is buried a little bit inside the building.
My wife and I have ordered take-out from Summit Thai a few times. We have tried the Pad Thai, Massaman Curry, and Pineapple Fried Rice. The dishes that we have tasted so far are cooked very well, and the curry flavors in the sauces are awesome.
From what I can tell, the ambiance in the restaurant is nice and private.. Perhaps we can try sitting in the restaurant one day.
Coming from the glorious Thai food offerings in Northern CA, I was a bit skeptical when I found myself in New Providence, NJ for training for work and somebody suggested Thai food for dinner.
I walked into Summit Thai Cuisine mentally prepared for some mediocre Thai food and man, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Â It was more than decent, it was good!!
I tried the beef satay, pad see ew and red curry. Â All were up to par with my (slightly elitist) Norcal Thai standards.
Definitely give this place a try. Â It's also in a super cute area that I wish I had come to earlier in the day when all the shops were open.
Nice staff--up-your-ass a little, but very nice. Â I've been here several times for lunch with my co-workers and always get the pad thai lunch special. Â It's very good. Â Nice peanutty flavor--ok portion. Â It comes with a salad and spring roll or dumpling--also good. Â I like them a lot, though I would like a larger portion...
Review Source:First of all, I have to say great service with a good sense of humor. Â It makes all of us on that night relax. Â Great food good portion excellent service. Â I and my family always there almost every week. Â Pad thai is my older son favorite and little girl love chicken satay and dumplings. Â I enjoy red snapper with thai chili eggplant sauce and my wife she never ever order anything else but chicken green curry (Thai HOTTTTT) Â Lastly we all agree to order sticky rice with mango for our sweet (we never missed that ) It's a wonderful family dining place in town.
