Savory Thai Cooking - Flemington

My wife and I recently moved into the area and she likes Thai food so we had to find a place nearby. This location is only 5 minutes from our house. We chose to dine in for our first experience. We started with the spring rolls as an appetizer (though I wanted to get the combination plate which comes with chicken sate, beef sate, curry puffs spring rolls). We both got red curry for our entrees. My wife chose chicken while I went with beef. You have 5 levels of spice to choose from. We went with level 3, which was just enough spice if you like spicy food (e.g., wasabi on your sushi). Everything was excellent. There were a few other customers in the dining area. The noise level was appropriate for the number of people in the moderate sized room. If you choose to dine in, it is BYOB but luckily there's a liquor store next door.

Good food plus great service. We had our orders in a few minutes. The place is relaxing and tables are well prepared. We've been here many times and we will keep on coming back.

Savory Thai has gone down in food quality and serving portions. I understand that in today's economy, many restaurants have had to increase prices and down-sized their portions--but you should sacrifice the taste. Even their Thai-hot dishes have had their heat watered down. When we started coming here, about 8 years ago, the Thai taste was awesome, their rice so aromatic, and the servings had us asking for take out boxes--sadly, that is no longer the case. It has now become an okay place for take out, but nothing to rave about or bring our out of town friends. Our new standard and reference point is Acacia Thai in Phillipsburg, NJ--they know how to make great tasting Thai dishes and for those brave enough, their Thai-hot is seriously hot! Savory Thai still has potential--but the kitchen needs a helping hand.

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!
