Customer Reviews
KorKai Thai Restaurant offers an intriguing dining experience that sits somewhere between modern elegance and experimental design. Stepping inside, the blue porcelain floor tiles and matching soap dispensers in the restroom immediately evoke the vibrant charm of Porto, Portugal. The walls are adorned with an interesting collection of variously framed mirrors and artificial floral arrangements. Alongside the modern ceiling pendants, these elements might feel a touch discordant at first glance, but they ultimately contribute to a charmingly eclectic and fun atmosphere. The dining room is kept quite bright for an evening service, yet it hums with an energetic, welcoming vibe. Since the restaurant is BYOB, I brought along a cherished bottle of white Burgundy to accompany the meal. The culinar
I ordered the special lunch menu at this restaurant and was very impressed. The staff said it was smaller than the regular menu, but I felt very full after eating. I will definitely be a regular customer of this restaurant. Very delicious.
The restaurant has a modern, clean ambiance, which set a nice tone for the meal. We started with appetizers, and they definitely set the bar high. The papaya salad came in the biggest portion we've ever seen, and the flavors were on point. The Tom Yum soup was amazing, though we realized we should’ve asked for it to be spicier to match our tastes. The curry puff was also really delicious and a standout dish. However, we were a bit disappointed with the main course. After the impressive appetizers, we had higher expectations, but the main dishes didn’t quite live up to them. It threw us off a bit, as we had such a great start. Overall, a mixed experience, but still worth checking out.
My friend & I dined for lunch on Thursday 1/15. We tried several different dishes & enjoyed everyone! The steamed dumplings, shrimp wraps, thai dumplings (which were beautiful & the server explained the history behind them). The best dish was the Roti Massaman, I'm sure this will be one of my top bites of 2026. The pad kee mao, tom yum soup & thai tea are also my favorites. I just love this place & can't wait to try the entire menu. The service is phenomenal, everyone is kind! This is some of the best thai in NJ.
It was our first time ordering a take out from KorKai and our family was very impressed by all the dishes. The flavors and ingredients were great! It was ready for pick up at the designated time. We would definitely order again.
