Thai Ping - Boonton

The menu claims to be the best Thai restaurant in New Jersey, which I find amusing. However, the food was enjoyable. The staff seemed a bit short-handed, leading to slightly chaotic service. Some tasks seemed to be prioritized over others. We were quickly asked for our order after sitting down, but then had to wait 20 minutes to actually place it. One dish was delicious while the other was a bit odd. The appetizers were also tasty. Overall, I appreciated the artistic decor throughout the restaurant.

This restaurant is fantastic because not only is the food delicious, but it also offers a separate menu section specifically for vegetarians. This is a rare find with Thai cuisine, as many dishes traditionally contain meat or fish-based ingredients.

The Thai food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and authentic. The staff is attentive and talented without being intrusive. We tried the curry buffets, a spicy scallop dish, and vegetarian red curry, all of which were fantastic. The sticky rice with mango is a must-try, it's absolutely worth it and the best we've ever had!
