Savory Thai Cooking - Flemington

My wife and I recently moved to the area and, since she loves Thai food, we needed to find a nearby restaurant. This place is only a five-minute drive from our home. For our first visit, we decided to dine in. We started with spring rolls as an appetizer, although I initially wanted to order the combination plate which includes chicken satay, beef satay, curry puffs, and spring rolls. For our main courses, we both opted for red curry—my wife chose chicken while I went for beef. They offer five spice levels, and we selected level three, which provided just the right amount of heat for those who enjoy spicy flavors (think wasabi on sushi). Everything was superb. The dining area had a few other patrons, and the noise level was just right for the size of the moderately sized room. If you choose to dine in, keep in mind that it's BYOB, but fortunately, there's a liquor store right next door.

Delicious food combined with excellent service. Our orders arrived in just a few minutes. The atmosphere is soothing and the tables are nicely set. We've visited this restaurant multiple times, and we will definitely continue to come back.

Savory Thai has unfortunately seen a decline in both food quality and portion sizes. I understand that many restaurants are facing economic challenges and have had to raise prices and reduce portions, but taste should never be compromised. Even their Thai-hot dishes have lost their heat. When we first started dining here about eight years ago, the flavors were fantastic, the rice was incredibly aromatic, and the portions were generous enough that we often needed takeout boxes. Sadly, that is no longer the case. It has become just an average option for takeout, not somewhere we would rave about or recommend to friends visiting from out of town. We now look to Acacia Thai in Phillipsburg, NJ, as our benchmark—they truly excel in crafting delicious Thai dishes, and for those who dare, their Thai-hot offerings pack a serious punch! Savory Thai still has potential, but it could use some improvement in the kitchen.

I met several friends for lunch. The service and ambiance of the restaurant were fine, it's a pretty place. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu and vegetables its was on the lunch menu. There were very few vegetables in my dish, a few carrots and maybe a 6 halves of green beans. The pad Thai sauce was remarkably under seasoned and very small amount was used in preparation of the dish. Very disappointing. I will not be visiting again.

This is my go-to Thai restaurant! I love the pad see ew and it's delicious! The restaurant is nice for an intimate evening or a date. Everyone there is so nice and the food always comes out quickly!
