Foodies know that Hoboken + Jersey City are both home to some of the best restaurants in New Jersey. With the closing of Sri Thai back in 2024, many Hoboken residents have also been searching for other places to go when a Thai food craving strikes. And when this happens, there are more than a few places worth a visit. We fully support ordering Thai food for a Bravo-binge night at home, but add these to your list for a fun meal out. Keep reading to discover where to get Thai food in Hoboken and Jersey City.
Hoboken
Bangkok City | 335 Washington Street
Bangkok City is an authentic Thai restaurant in the heart of downtown Hoboken. It’s a go-to for takeout, but it’s also a fun spot to throw in the group chat when planning the group hang. The menu has something for everyone like Papaya Salad, Tom Kha Kai (chicken soup in coconut milk broth), Kiew Wan (green curry), and Pad Thai. And with Mango + Sticky Rice and Thai Custard on the menu, leave some room for dessert (take it from us, dessert is always the right move).

T Thai | 102 Hudson Street
T Thai is an authentic Thai restaurant with Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and Massaman Curry on the menu. Try one of the chef’s specials like the Grilled Chilean Sea Bass with a Mango Salad or Duck Pad Thai. For something sweet, order the Green Tea Ice Cream, Sweet Sticky Rice with Strawberry, or Coconut Milk Pudding (better yet, why not try all three).
Bonus: Purple Rice | 832 Washington Street

Purple Rice, a family-owned Asian- restaurant mainly specializes in Chinese dishes. While you won’t find Pad Thai or Tom Yum soup on the menu, one of the signature drinks is Thai Iced Milk Tea.
Jersey City
Pinwheel Garden | 318 Communipaw Avenue
This Asian-American eatery in Bergen-Lafayette quickly became a local go-to after it opened in 2017. The menu covers a range of cuisines including Indian, Korean, and Thai. Some stand-out dishes are the Thai Shrimp and Chicken Dumplings appetizer and Thai Basil Fried Rice. The Bourbon Bacon Drunken Noodle has stir-fried udon noodles, bourbon-rendered bacon, vegetables, and Thai basil.
More Express | 281 Grove Street

More Express is a sushi bar and Asian bistro in downtown Jersey City. It’s worth taking a midday lunch break for the specials — like Thai Chili Basil and Green Curry — served with white or brown rice. Pineapple Fried Rice, Thai Sausage Fried Rice, and Pad Thai are some of the other Thai-inspired dishes to try.
Nana Thai Restaurant | 406 Central Avenue
This is one of the best options for Thai food in The Heights. Since the menu is packed with flavorful dishes, there’s always something new to try. Red or green Curry Noodle Soup, Siam Curry Duck, Bangkok Curry Fish, and Nana Thai Mussels all stand out to us. But, of course, there’s nothing wrong with getting the same comfort food dish, like Pad Thai, again and again.
One Dee Siam | 137 Newark Avenue
Popular NYC Thai restaurant One Dee Siam opened a Jersey City location in 2021. (We always support exciting eateries coming across the Hudson.) This is one of the best spots in downtown Jersey City for authentic Thai flavors. (Plus, it’s BYOB.) It’s worth stopping by to try the Crab Meat Fried Rice, Pad Woon Sen noodles, or Duck Noodle Soup. We tried Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice with tofu. Seafood lovers will also enjoy the soft shell crab and whole fish entrees.

Prince + I | 80 Wayne Street
The Prince + I is a Thai restaurant in downtown Jersey City, not too far from One Dee Siam. Here, diners can order Tom Yam Noodle Soup or Khao Soi (Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup) with salmon, chicken, pork belly, or mackerel. If you’re not in the mood for soup, the Pad Thai and other classic noodle dishes are always an option.
